"If the Saints do end up as the No. 1 seed – the only one that gets a first-round a bye this year, remember – it’ll be with an asterisk. Should they make it all the way to Tampa Bay, site of this year’s Super Bowl, there will be plenty who will look at them sidewise and say, “Yes, but …” while pointing to Sunday’s game."

This is a league that had a nine game season in 1992 due to a player's strike, and a 15 game season in 1987 with three games played with replacements because of another.  If the Saints go on to win the Super Bowl, no one will view them with an asterisk because of this game.

For the record, strike was in 1982, not ‘92.

Not for nothing, but Lions fans really hate Matt Patricia.

One of the league's best trends is now occurring in Detroit, where Lions fans are giving to the charity of Texans quarterback Deshaun Watson as a thank you for his role in Thursday's win. Watson was near-flawless on Thanksgiving with a multi-score victory over Detroit that clinched the firing of head coach Matt Patricia and GM Bob Quinn.

The Broncos asked the NFL if they could use one of their offensive quality control coaches as quarterback today but the NFL said no.  The Broncos will be using practice squad receiver Kendall Hinton at quarterback today:

Everyone knows you have to get pressure on Cousins. He will fold like an accordion.

Well, everyone except the Carolina coach. You never rush 3 guys.

Anthony Lynn should have to walk home from Buffalo to LA, that was a coaching catastrophe today.

The Vikings tried real hard to give the Panthers this game. The Panthers refused to take it.

I actually like this first-year coaching staff and think they've done a good job with a young, talent-shy team, but they really had a bad game today.

As you said, they had to put pressure on Cousins, and they were doing a decent job of it till that last drive.

And on offense, they kept throwing incomplete passes when all they had to do was eat the clock by running the ball; the Vikings' run defense sucks and the Panthers had a lot of success when they did run.

Plus, they burned all 3 time-outs for no reason earlier in the half so they had none left at the end. Just terrible play-calling and clock-management.

I knew they were gonna lose as soon as they threw that incomplete pass on third-and-goal from the 3 with just under 2 minutes to go. Run the ball! You very well might score. And even if you don't, you take 40 seconds off the clock. Terrible.

After that, Cousins did whatever he wanted. Carolina's defense, which had played well, was so passive that the Vikings almost scored too quickly and easily, but the Panthers' kicker effen sucks.

The Panthers aren't going anywhere this season, and in the big picture it's probably better to move up in the draft, but it's still disgusting as a fan that your team can't win a game when you score two defensive TDs and get handed a muffed punt with 2:10 to play. Ugh.

Jags fire Caldwell, just means they’ll wait to fire Marrone on Black Monday.

Well, in the coaches’ defense, I’ve seen other teams do this far too often.

An NFL game with 73 totals passing yards - by 2 teams combined.

Well, it is 1920, after all.

I’m thinking the Rams are gonna be in purgatory for years. Bloated contract for a mid level QB and a defense that routinely just lacks any finishing ability despite elite talent. Nick Mullens is not a starting level QB and he’s just picked them apart today. Shanahan is a great offensive mind but this is pretty pathetic at home from LA. Every single yard the Niners needed in the 4th, they got. And now commit and offsides to make the kick even easier. They aren’t a danger to anyone in the NFC

The Bears shouldn’t have more than 10 throws tonight. I know they can’t run the ball. But anyone can run the ball against the Pack.

Great defense on the Montgomery run. No linebacker in the middle.

Lol. Literally the only way to get the Packers some stops is to throw the ball down field. So thank you, Bears, for not being able to see what a football illiterate like myself can see.

At what point does the NFL stop promoting this as a rivalry game?
