Something similar happened in the World Cup in the 80's. Now they play all the final games at the same time to avoid the motivation. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Disgrace_of_Gijón

If the season's 20 weeks, 18 games + 2 byes, would they start 2 weeks earlier?

I was wondering what Diggs was doing cruising Bailey Ave on a Thursday afternoon.

Agree on Lamar. I think the Browns should look for Ryan Tannehill 2.0... Maybe Marcus Mariota would do well executing a ground and pound, RPO, play action offense?

Different teams. I think this year it was more about a long season after being 1 game away form the Super Bowl and not being able to get up for boring mid season games against teams they were supposed to beat. Now that every game is a playoff, it is freaking on. And we seem to be hitting on all cylinders at the right time.

You missed it, after the credits they did a Marvel style spoiler... It's going to be a dome in Lancaster...

They are.

My oh my was 1965 a good year for the Buffalo Bills!

Josh Allen having a better passer rating on the road vs. at home does not prove he plays better on the road. Of course his passer rating is going to skew higher when late season road games are indoors instead of in Orchard Park... But both teams have to play in the same OP weather, and until you prove that Josh's passer rating decreasing more than the opposing team's qb in OP, you have not proved anything.

I'm not worried about any team... But if I got to pick give me the Raiders.

Case Keenum > Baker Mayfield

Not counting ties, there's 128 different combinations of W's and L's that could happen in the 7 games that matter (the 7th game being Pitt vs Bal in the event of a Indy L)... Counting ties, there's 2,187 different combinations...

Unless the Chiefs also rest everyone and lose, then we'd host the Chargers.

Would be rooting for the Raiders to beat the Chargers if the Bengals lose.

Hobbs was at an intersection?

It doesn't sound like a smart thing to do... Call an Uber and get your car in the morning... or call the team security to pick you up... But not condemning the player for driving drunk if he didn't actually drive...

Yeah, I know. But sleeping it off in your car is not the same thing, ethically speaking, as actually driving drunk. And it's not as bad from a team discipline / NFL stand point.

The article does say the police were called because of a person sleeping in a parked car. And that the charge is a misdemeanor. So he may not have been driving at all.

Bates has also been really quick out in space.

Chris Brown and other journalists noted on Twitter during the game that Bates walked off under his own power. I hope someone asks McD if he would have come back in if the play happened earlier in the game.

It even looks like the Monday night game tonight, Browns vs Steelers has an effect on the outcome. The Steelers are still alive. And the Ravens only hope of making the playoffs requires many things, but the strangest of which is a Browns loss in one of their last 2 games.

Yep, but only if we tie against the Jets and the Pats beat the Fins.

There's 5 games left effecting AFC playoff seeding. That means there's 2 the 5th power, or 32 unique outcomes.
