Even if he’s not on the couch, there’s a point where you can’t do this at an NFL level. There are middle aged guys in better shape than twenty somethings, but in the NFL you’re competing against the elite who also happen to be twenty years younger.

Retired NFL QB’s have become like musicians. The check is always big enough to lure them out of retirement, even if they should stay retired. What middle aged guy isn’t going to find an excuse to escape the house.

This is a good idea, because it avoids the committee nonsense. I don’t think it would stop the controversy. You’d end up with weak geographically based divisions, and excellent teams would be left out. How do you form a northeast division for example? No one is worthy is certain regions. I think the SEC and Big Ten need to form a super league, and the rest can compete in a separate playoff format.

I never liked Notre Dame, but they became more obnoxious than ever. It seems that Notre Dame and everyone associated are a group of individuals who think it’s 1960. There are plenty of teams with clout these days, ND isn’t that important.

I agree, but this is where the end game needs to happen sooner than later. Those teams deserve a chance, much like March madness, if they are supposed to be D1 teams. You’re not wrong, but the Big Ten and SEC need to team up to exclude the rest. Let the other conferences have their own playoff. It makes no sense for other conferences to exist, when no one considers them legitimate.

They’ll find a way to miss the playoffs, it’s the Bears after all.

I know this sounds like nails on a chalkboard to Bills fan but as long as they have Mahomes, they are a contender. Manning had down years with wins and losses as well. Events like Kelce retiring might be good for them. I think there are too many distractions on that team these days. They need to get back to being hungry.

A Stroud pick wouldn’t even surprise me.

Funny how the Mahomes limp was gone after that run.

The Texans defense doesn’t matter if QB play is that bad, and they seem to fail at doing the small things correctly. That punt is a perfect example.

Stroud looking like a future Browns QB.

You can’t afford to throw away a series like Houston just did.

KC seems complacent this season. They dial up big plays when needed, but sleepwalk through large portions of games.

Texans offense is a dumpster fire, this team isn’t going far.

I agree, I think the offensive talent is lacking in KC. That will make a QB look old and slow. Kelce puts up good numbers, but is no longer dominant. He’s the guy who’s old and slow, and that’s the bigger problem.
