Nah. NFL will just shrug and point to how it was hard-fought battle. They've had other losing record winners. The sun still rises.

I don't think you have to worry about a 5th year option, not when he is eligible for an extension after this season. Not an NFL qb. Doesn't matter though. It will be what it will be.

Never say never

He could be there to cheer on Seattle. Hard to tell sometimes with him. I saw him years ago shopping on 1 of the grocery aisles at Walmart on Sardis Rd, back when he was still on the team. He seemed nice, which made his turn maybe a bit out of character.

I have no idea. I seriously thought he would be gone after asking XL about his deceased father being a Cowboys fan.

If it's norovirus, that's an ugly messy bug. Usually you're either shitting or puking until it's out of your system.

Going to be a test for sure. Sometimes west coast teams have difficulty traveling cross-country for a 1pm (10am their time) kickoff. Not so for Seattle. They've beaten the Steelers, Jags, Titans and Falcons on the road at 1pm. 4-0. Steelers and Falcons games were blowout wins. Hopefully it means they are due for some post-holiday jet lag sluggishness.

It's the truth though. We all enjoy storytime I guess.

It's hard to say. Typically Darnold doesn't handle pressure well, but we are anemic in bringing pressure.

Well, they just ran a hype video for the playoffs, and it had a shot of Young, and no Bucs at all. Guess that is that then.

Chargers were my darkhorse team to do something this year. They had a good season. I think they will be 1 and done in the playoffs though. Unless they draw the Steelers.

If we win the South, we will be the 4th seed, and will host the 5th seed. As of today, it is the Niners. Niners have a tough 2 game finish though with Bears and Seahawks. Rams have Falcons and Cardinals. Both are 11-4.

25 sacks on the season. We are not the worst in the league, thanks to the Niners and all their injuries, but we are in a 3-way tie with the Jets and Bengals for the next spot. We are at the very bottom on stats for bringing pressure. https://www.pro-football-reference.com/years/2025/opp.htm I think it has to be addressed this off-season.

You know things are getting bad when people are even entertaining the possibility of Ewers notching a win.

I tend to agree. I don't pretend to know much about what goes on with that Eagles team, but they sure look like a dysfunctional bunch sometimes.

Broadcast maps for tomorrow. Must-see tv. Eagles-Bills is the nationwide 4pm game.

No, I am still not your bro. I'm flattered you think of of me on Christmas day. Nothing better to do I am sure. You'll be on the blocklist from now on. In the meantime, feel free to fug yourself over and over and over. Really.

Maybe. That doesn't really square well with 1 of the Falcons talking about how it is a sleepy place to play after their shutout loss here though. It certainly could be different now, compared to then.

I wouldn't call it a set rotation, but there is a list of cities/venues that the game is assigned to, more frequently than others. New Orleans, Santa Clara, Los Angeles, Houston, Phoenix, Miami and Tampa. Las Vegas will join that list as well. Atlanta will host it's 4th Superbowl, coinciding with their newer stadium opening, and I would not be surprised if they become a more frequent host now. Jacksonville has had 1 game, and while they did not have the required hotel space, they docked cruise ships in the port to serve as floating hotels. The league has not awarded them with another game as it was not an ideal solution. Dallas was awarded the game when they opened their new stadium and suffered an ice storm and some logistical/infrastructure problems and the game has not returned.

A different kind of Philly Special.

Regarding the fan vote, that will almost always be the determining vote. Compare how many fans vote, compared to coaches and players. It's millions compared to thousands I would guess.

It is a popularity contest. The selection does have meaning though. It is also 1 of the criteria that is considered for the HOF. The game does not have any significance. The team hasn't been to the playoffs in nearly a decade. That's why they don't get primetime national coverage. To the victors go the spoils.

Thanks for participating.

I know, and I do not necessarily disagree. It's a top 30 tv market though, and its supported the xfl/usfl thing that's been there, and the history is what it is. Once the old lady died that Rams team was going back to LA. I can see them coming back up for a team, or more importantly, being a negotiating chip.

I don't understand what you are advocating for with this. No Probowl? No monetary reward? More money? Keep as is? Make them play? Change something up?
