Since this thread seems to have morphed into a discussion of the playoff format, I have said for years that a first-round bye is too big of an advantage. You don't get that in any other sport. The best would be 8 teams, no bye. Everyone has to win 3 games to get to the SB. The advantage of the #1 playing weaker teams and playing always at home is enough.

Just shot up the Bengals draft board.

The problem is no one knows if those guys can lead an entire team. If you hire, say, Ben Johnson to be your head coach, you are essentially hiring him to be both HC and OC. The OC part is why you're hiring him. You want him to bring that Lions offense to your team and you are only making him HC because you have to do that in order to hire him away from Detroit. But the fear is that Ben Johnson is another Mike McDaniel. You just never know until a guy gets a shot at leading a locker room.

I'm way too young to remember any of this (51), but I have a few questions for you old dudes. 1) Why did the AFL refs wear capri pants? 2) How would the Bills have fared against the 1964 NFL champ Browns in a theoretical Super Bowl? 3) How cool would it have been if we had played in SB 1, which was a distinct possibility?

I don't think rain is going to be an issue in this one.

You didn't know that? All Harbaugh are smug douchebags, even their BiL Tom Crean.

Matchup league, indeed.

9 sacks. In a playoff game.

The crazy thing is that if that had been ruled a fumble back in the 1st quarter (or was it second), this game would have been tied and might have turned out differently. Even blowouts can hinge on single plays.

Why in the heck is Stafford still out there?

Yeah, on the game.

That’s the Darnold we all know and love. Vikings wanna sign Zach Wilson next?

So if you’re getting sacked, just flick the ball out.

Ikeas putting it together tonight like they’re building a Billy Bookcase with two allen wrenches.

My wife calls them the Ikeas. They look more swedish than the Vikings.

Jets Darnold is back, baby!

The Jets talking heads are all for Rex because he gives the media a lot of access. He craves the attention.

AFAIK, 1.5 is the new home field advantage. They are starting it there and letting the betters set the line over the week. I expect that by the time the game starts Baltimore will be favored by a small amount because their star power will drive betters to their side. But I also don't gamble, so what do I know.

No. It's Eagles and Lions for the NFC as it always was destined to be.

They're at least a year ahead of schedule. Nothing to lose.

Washington has the institutional memory of another slight of build mobile QB.

When you see an uncatchable ball coming your way, just fall down.

He got humbled, and now that cockiness is a fun swagger.

He only HC in Tampa because Brady demanded it as a condition of his return for that final season. For some reason, they kept him on after Brady retired.
