The NFL absolutely has preferred outcomes. Playoff viewership can swing pretty dramatically. But honestly, the Super Bowl is an entity of it's own. Doesn't matter who is there viewership is going to be massive. It's the biggest television event of the year and is way bigger than the game of football. It's a complete media spectacle and the football game itself has honestly almost become a background for it. The diehard football fans are tuning in for the game, but the spectacle itself is what draws the massive viewership and there's a lot of people watching that don't know their ass from their elbow when it comes to football. It's why I don't understand all the uproar from football fans about halftime acts. Guys, the halftime show isn't for you. They know that. They're not catering to you with it. You're watching anyway. The halftime act is to try to maximize the non-football audience. Let them enjoy it. Halftime for you is a break to grab some beers and wings. I can honestly only remember actually tuning in for one halftime show and that was the Dre/Snoop/Eminem year.

Sure there is. Because QBs like Geno are starting. You don't solve your problem by signing a problem. Young guys with potential upside are one thing. 35 year old journeymen coming off of a terrible season while still acting like an entitled ass are the ones you absolutely need to avoid.

I don't see how. He's definitely on the decline and looked like complete ass this year playing for a coach and in a system he knew well. I'd rather take a chance kn a younger guy or a rookie in the draft than washed ass Geno.

Yeah, in addition to being ass on the field he came across as just an ass in general this year. Hard pass. If we go with another aging vet option, I guess Mariota would be my choice.

We had Darnold in a terrible situation for Sam Darnold and the team he's QBing. Darnold is best deployed as a high level game manager. He has elite throwing skills but he's disaster waiting to happen when he has to press and a QB has to press on a bad team. Seattle is a great spot for him surrounded with great weapons with an elite defense to lean on. Swap him and Stafford last night and the Seahawks cruise while Darnold has 3-4 turnovers having to try to play hero ball for the Rams.

We gotta be realistic. One, we're probably not spending big money at backup QB. Two, someone like Willis who is likely looking for at least an opportunity for a legit QB competition probably won't be coming here. So what are we left with? Given the choices, Howell checks a lot of boxes.

More physical talent than Bruce and a lot cheaper. Right now I'm desperate to avoid a long-term extension for Bryce.

I loved Durant as a college player but he never had NFL ability (same story with Marquise Williams) I was surprised Yates carved put a decent little backup career for himself too. I didn't think he'd get more than a cup of coffee in the NFL.

A guy that can move around? With a live NFL arm? Who won't cost a lot? I mean... I know a guy

Well yeah, Cotchery caught it.

The Rams D sucks. I guess that's why McVay went for it on that 4th and 4 inside the 10. I gotta try to get the league now. Can't trust my D to get the ball back.

I thought the Kupp catch and 1st down was the right call. *shrugs*

JSN is wild. He doesn't just get open. He gets WIDE ass open.

Way too greedy to go on 4th and 4 there. Gotta take the chip shot FG. Now you still need a TD. Even if the Seahawks had responded with a TD and an XP you're still within a TD and 2 point conversion. Gotta take the points there. If you give up a TD now the game is over.

Brady is ass. Dude, Darnold is running a play action. His back is to the LOS and by the time he is turning around a blitzing DB who disguised it presnap is on his ass.

Speaking of Brady sucking at his job... did you not see Nacua turning into a DB and breaking that up? The DB didn't drop it. Nacua turned into a DB.

He really does. He's just completely wooden and boring and really doesn't add anything.

Seattle fans didn't even realize the Seahawks existed before Pete Carroll. And they completely ripped off the whole 12th man thing from Texas A&M.

There's a massive gap between the ability of the two. That's the point. I didn't think that required explanation, but I guess it did. You know what Ben Johnson would be doing if Bryce was his QB? Looking for a QB.

Rams D low key sucks. Stafford is making insane hero throws and Darnold has guys running around wide open.

Sub Bryce in for Caleb on that play and there's a 100% chance the Bears lose that game. If you can't acknowledge that you're complete denial. Holy poo... another unreal throw from Stafford

Stafford is dropping some DIMES downfield. These guys are not open.

I cannot comprehend how you completely blow a coverage on JSN. If there's one guy on the field you have to account for its him.

JSN is nasty.
