I disagree ……Eagles have speed on offense …..Hurts and Sanders would kill the Pats slow defense.

 

The Eagles are terrible.

Blaine Gabbert fascinates me. 11 year NFL career despite never being anything other than awful. I mean, EJ Manuel objectively is a better QB and he was done after 5 years.

Owns a Super Bowl ring to boot.

I wonder if a guy like EJ was just over the NFL, and didn’t  want to stick around anymore.

 

Gabbert could also in theory be good in meetings, scout team, etc which is critical for backups QBs. That’s most likely why he’s stuck around so long because he’s not around for his play.

Both 7 seeds are the only two teams that feel like they really don't belong in the playoffs.  Not a great look for that rule change so far.

It wasn't done for competitive reasons. It was to create more playoff games and generate more revenue.

 

I am assuming the NFL views it as a massive success.

 Not sure how it was ever a god look when the 6th seed in the NFL has been a 7 win team ever other year.

Diluted the competition for the sake of another game.  I never liked the idea but it is what it is.

The real problem is that there are not enough really good teams to go around to make for an interesting post season.

 

Of course they don't want to lose playoff revenue, but the playoffs should be a pair of semi-finals in each conference IMO, then a conference championship, then the SB.

 

I.E., Seeds 1-4 in each conference make the payoffs, no one else.

 

And seed them randomly with a draw too!

Blaine Gabbert is actually pretty good as a backup. Arians said he is the most underrated player in NFL.

 

For only 2M he is quite a bargain.
