NFL 2020

Fair to say the Superbowl remains wide open at this stage? Hard to call. Chiefs favourite with a bye, home advantage and experience of last year but Bills and Seahawks look strong. Outside bet Miami or Tampa? Home game for Tampa should they get to SB.

Is amusing that Brady and Gronk go forward with Bucs when Pats fizzle out first season without them - should NE have offered Brady more?

Why did they go up to 14 from 12 teams into playoffs this season, only found that out the other day. Guessing just money spinning extra games? Will they revert to 12 once crowds can return?

Should WRs be allowed to wear glioves? There was a diving one handed catch in the TB game that u just think wouldn't have been caught without gloves.

No. He is locked in.

If I was him I would refuse to sign for them.

Do a Brian Bosworth and send them a letter saying “please don’t draft me”

Read somewhere that he'd be better off at the Jets, as his image deals.would be much higher in NY.

The Jets or Jags isn’t exactly a great choice. I suppose the lack of income tax in Florida is a benefit. He should pull an Eli and instantly demand a trade.

No they are staying at 7 per conference. They are also adding another regular season game from next year. As for why? As ever with the NFL - MONEY

To be fair, the season is very short. They could easily stretch the season by 2 or 3 more weeks.

Would allow player recovery and possibly even player longevity?
Have an extra week break between the end of season and the playoffs?
Each team get 2 bye weeks. More time off is a good thing.
All would add to TV revenue too as more air time to sell.

I know the state most of these players are in at the end of a season and they physically cannot do any more.
They will go to 17 games in 19 weeks for TV revenue reasons but it will not go any further than that.
And there will be a trade off in terms of player roster sizes going to 53 on gamedays with no inactives to make up for it.

Wouldn’t player welfare be improved if they played the same number of games over a longer period of time? Extra recovery time has to be a good thing.

I’m sure it’s going to be 17 games over 18 weeks. The extra bye would have made sense but the NFLPA was against it.

Bookies offering KC 15/8 against the chargers? Are the chiefs resting all their top players?

Yes

We were leading the Falcons 20-3 at one point in the first half. All the Bucs fans were all over wanting them to go for two if they scored another TD so we could lead Atlanta 28-3.

 

[Beezerk]

Crikey, how bad are the Bengals

 

[Captainron]

I’m sick and tired of the protection that QB’s get from the officials.

They have pads and they play football. They should be able to take a tackle. It’s not bloody soccer!!!

 

[Captainron]

Tua choked big time today. Time for him to sit down and watch Fitz do his thing

 

[davemc1]

I have the browns and the vikings in an acca. What a rollercoaster they where... ?

The way the Eagles tanked the 4th quarter against the semi-professional football team last night was just epic. The Giants fans are going mental over it as it meant they missed out on the playoffs.
Miami totally wet the bed last night - but 10-6 is far more than they could have expected - their future is bright.
Week 17 is what a former player friend of mine called "U-Haul weekend" - as in, your car is shipped home, your truck is packed and you can't wait to end the season and go home to your family. Especially this year - especially in Cincinnati.

And thanks NFL - putting the Bucs in Washington game on as the Saturday night game next week - 1.15am start over here. And more importantly, our top LB will not have clearer covid contact protocol by then.

 

[spongebob59]

Carr was shocking last night, no mobility, don't think he was over groin injury, Mariota must be off other wise they should have played him.
Shocking second half of the season, hard to see it as an improvement over last year. Apart from Waller , Crosby and Jacob s not much positive.

I mean, obviously we're going to lose next weekend, but I really don't think I'm too bonkers in saying I'm feeling the most positive as a Washington fan I've felt in a long time. Somehow we've got a QB who can run a game and a defence who are bloody exciting to watch. If we can train the o-line to actually protect Smith, and whoever is brought in over the summer to learn from him, we'll do alright.

We're not gonna be winning the thing for a very long time. But getting into post-season? yea, that has to be the goal again next season.

I thought that Flores was very relaxed on the touchline in the first half, almost as though he didn't care. I gave up at half time. Shocking performance from The Dolphins. I think they were looking towards next season already.
