NFL 2018-19 2.0

Bears magic number to clinch a playoff spot is 1 (any combo of Bears wins or Washington losses). Viking loss tomorrow would mean Bears clinch the North next Sunday with a win.

BROWNS!!!!!

Snow and ice storm caused us to lose power at about 4:30 p.m. yesterday, and it didn't come back on till 12:30 a.m.

If only we had lost power a few hours earlier, I wouldn't have had to watch my Panthers piss down their legs again.

Congrats to your Browns; they deserved to win. You definitely have some nice pieces for the future, starting with your QB.

Injoy da teperate Atlantic coast, Nads. Pretty darn deecent in da Midwest fore dis tyme of yeer, hey?

[WarriorDad]

Lol. Thank you for responding on both usernames.

You did not answer the question correctly on either username. Cheeks and warriordad both incorrectly answer the question in the same exact way. Hmm.

I have one username. You continue to call me a member here that I am not.  The bizarre question you asked was answered in the most common sense way possible.  Spending hours here listing 1000's of teams that are not my favorite teams is both futile and moronic.  My list of favorite teams was given to you, instead of listing every one in every league, every college, that is not.

NFL should suspend the referees in that Cowboys game. League wants the Cowboys in the playoffs for ratings.  How is it possible that a Dallas player fumbles the ball, only green shirts are around it and they recover, but they let Dallas keep the ball?  Philadelphia challenged the call, it was reversed and ruled a fumble, but the replay officials said no one had a clear recovery? 

The NFL still has many on the field quality issues. See replay.  No way that is Dallas ball.  Eagles got robbed.

For the first time in my lifetime, it's fun being a Browns fan! 

Cam played well in spite of his bum shoulder.  Not sure why you guys didn't give the ball to McCaffrey 4 times on the goal line though.

Was at the Bears game last night. Absolutely electric atmosphere.

I don't think Soldier Field has ever had the reputation for being loud, but man, last nights crowd was something special.

If they can find a coach, that team could be something real quick.  Baker is the real deal, Chubb is really good.  They have some really nice pieces on defense.  Lot of reason for optimism.

Ive been super hard on Nagy as Ive said, but man he's starting to put it together.  Little things too.  He had Braunecker take an intentional false start on a punt late in the game to milk some more time off the clock.  Lose one you shouldnt to the Giants, win one you probably shouldnt to the Rams.  One step closer!

I would have done some kind of play-fake with McCaffrey on 2nd or 3rd down, and probably rolled Cam out with a receiver, which worked well a couple times earlier in the game.

Overall, I have been pleased with Norv Turner as an offensive coordinator, but the last few weeks his red-zone calls have been questionable. Then again, Cam -- who has mostly played very well -- has missed a few receivers in the end zone, so that obviously hurts.

I don't blame you about the Browns. I really like some of their skill-position players.

Could Gregg Williams get the gig full time?

I know Cam is dinged up, but if he had a little touch on the ball they could have scored a couple times on the goal line.  Not every pass has to be 100 mph.

[jutaw22mu]

I'm happy with Williams so far as HC, but he would have to hire a DC for sure and retain Kitchens.  If Dorsey doesn't want to stick with Williams, I'd be happy if he offered the job to McCarthy.

Agreed. His pass to Samuel was too hard too fast. The kid didn't have time to turn and get his hands in position. His pass to Wright was simply too high; that guy has great hands and has been a good clutch receiver all season. If Cam gives him a chance, he'll catch it. Same kind of thing happened at the end of the Detroit game.

I'm a big Cam fan, but I certainly can admit it when he messes up, and he did this time. But the loss obviously wasn't his fault. The Panthers' once-vaunted D keeps giving up huge plays, game after game after game. Rivera's in trouble, methinks.

[RJax55]

I doubt it. I think the Browns recent play is more of an indicator of how terrible Hue Jackson was. I will say, Freddie Kitchens will definitely be in-demand for OC jobs, if he isn't retained by the new staff.

This Vikes offense tonight...yuck.

[GB Warrior]

This Vikes offense tonight...yuck.

On the one end of the spectrum we have Chiefs-Rams. On the other we have....whatever this is

[Dish]

Usually I'm pro go for it, but down 6-0, doing nothing on offense, a brutal third down play call, and the Vikes go for it and come up with nothing.

Barring a turnover, they'll get two more possessions max and have zero room for error on a night they've done zilch.

These seahawks uniforms are fantastic.  GFPhawks!

The Queens love paying a loooot of money for mediocre (generously) QBs. I'd be willing to save them $80M and play the next 4 years for $4M at QB. Can't be much worse and they can invest the $80M elsewhere.

I was one of the few here who called Cousins overrated - before he signed.

Cousins will be 30 at the start of the season and has yet to win a playoff game. Very Cutler-esque. At 30, Jay had one playoff win, but only because he was lucky enough to play a sub .500 team. Some stupid GM is going to give this guy a long term deal somewhere in the  $25 -$30 million per year range  --  1/30/18


Not only will a team overpay for Cousins, they will way, way, way overpay  --  1/31/18

OK, brand, I'll give you kudos for a good call.

Always fun to watch this oh-for-6-decades bunch fall apart.

No they can't since they 100% guaranteed it = SKOL!

Lol you're right.

They'll make their new offensive coordinator the sacrificial lamb as soon as the season ends.

EDIT:  Or maybe they'll do it today.
