Ethan in Cleveland

Odd game. I think most people think it will be an easy win and saving money for next round. Then there are others that are afraid Sean Payton outcoaches McDermott and don't want to see another home playoff loss. For the record I'm in the optimistic camp and think they win easily. Also I have to drive back and forth to Chicago today and don't want to make the drive up tomorrow

Odd statement for a guy who sadly never played a home playoff game... Josh was awful that game but still walked off the field with the lead, only for defense and special teams to blow it.

Adam Rank of ESPN is picking Denver to upset Bills. 😡 Just can't happen at home against a rookie QB! 100% agree. We scored 48 against Detroit and Cooper didn't even get a target. If they play man they have to spy Allen. That leaves a TE or RB essentially uncovered every play. Allen will find the open check down. He has all season. If they don't spy Allen and they play man, Allen will rush for 100 yards.

Ravens Eagles Our Special Teams

This didn't hold up well PSU, Texas, ND, and OSU were the final four in CFP

https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/nfl/article-14272207/Potential-NFL-draft-pick-Kyren-Lacy-wanted-negligent-homicide.html Wow this kid was looking at being a first round pick now his life may be over...

The article was pure speculation and 5 months too late. NFL already signed off n the potential conflict of interest. The only way he gives up the announcing gig is if he is named Raiders President of Operations and takes over control of the team. I actually think that is what is going to happen. He will then pick the GM and HC and they will report to him.

He was never going to play for the Browns again regardless. He will get the Eric Wood Kam Chancellor treatment. He will be on the roster until the end of his contract Nrowns will recoup some insurance money but he will destroy their cap for at least two more years.

Did you really despise Diggs? Be honest! In year 1, did you despise his franchise record 127 catches and 1500 yards receiving? I call BS. I will donate $500 dollars to anyone's charity of choice if they can find one post saying they despised Diggs showmanship in year 1? Year 2? PS I like Cooper's demeanor too but like Diggs just as much

First it was Lamar couldn't throw the ball. Then it was all he did was throw to TEs. Now all his stats are because he has too much talent around him. I wish people would stick to just one false narrative.... What's the point of having all that talent when he is a one read half the field QB anyways? Allen is the best player in the NFL. Lamar has had a great season but Allen has won more and played nearly flawlessly in 16 of 17 games. Allen is the MVP but I don't care who wins the award. Allen is a first ballot HOF QB if he wins even one Lombardi.

Herbstreit said the game would be decided on a ND takeaway Ohio St and Texas crush both these teams

Terrible play calling on 2nd and 3rd down Omg

Rapp is not that good that he is guaranteed to start next year. Hamlin isn't good at at much except not getting beat deep. Bishop should start this week with Rapp. He's the most athletic of the three and he's played well this past month. That said I think they will sign a veteran to play FS and pair with Bishop at SS. I really do. Judging by McDermott's PCs Hyde is never going to see the field. They could have signed him as a position coach for all the other positive attributes he could bring to the team. Signing him to the PS just teases the fan base

Hyde is not getting brought up It's was a publicity stunt from day 1 Shakir is your guy. Just field the punt and hand the ball to the refs. That's all they need to do. Getting 4 yards on a return isn't worth the risk to Shakir or the risk of a penalty. Just field the ball and let Josh do the rest.

Dam spell check...as a doc you think is would have caught that...

I understand your sentiment. Josh is a QB talent that should win multiple SuperBowls. But if we just get one we will be ecstatic and at the same time disappointed. First let's just hope Allen isn't Rivers and despite a HOF career never got to a SuperBowl. Second let's hope he is not Marino who only got to one and never made it back. At this point we can only dream he is Brees with one SuperBowl win!

I think I'd rather have Kyle Williams suit up and play some DT this week instead of being legend of the game.

Let Shakir catch punts. I am serous, i would rather Shakir just catch the ball with a fair catch every time. They are far more likely to get a penalty than get any meaningful yards. If this game comes down to punt returns then they will have much bigger problems.

I understand your point. However sometimes people do better when they get back to work and are around friends and colleagues. It gives them a respite at least for a gew hours from whatever family issue they may be dealing with. It's why guys can play a football game a few days after a death in the family, ie Brett Favre

Tail bone and wind knocked out of him is all He will be back tomorrow and he is going to go 10 for 145 yards on Sunday

Another minority coach fired after one year. A bit surprising from an organization that has a very very good track record of hiring minority coaches. I thought it was a weak hire in the first place, but what other head coach would have done any better with that roster???

Should have signed Suh six weeks ago...he probably would have been better than Jefferson or Williams On that note, I'm kind of surprised Aaron Donald didn't make a late season comeback with the Rams looking like a decent playoff team

Flores would be a good fit for that team. Bears have lacked any discipline for a few decades.

I didn't see the snap so I will take people's word for it. To me Bass' struggles are all mental. It's obvious he has a strong leg. He seems to lose focus and comes through the ball late and thus the fade off to the right. Am i worried? A little to be honest. Though not near as much about Bass as I am about our Dline getting manhandled against the run. Agree. Same reason why the New England kicker wouldn't miss those field goals.

That's how bad White was at QB. Samuel caught a pass intended for someone else...lol
