Underdogs are 13-1 against the number in the Wild Card round last 14 games. If WFT holds, it’ll be 15-1 and 3-0 today.

So you like the Bears getting 10? That does seem like a ton of points.

I thought that the Panthers stinkin' out the joint the second half of the season might mean OC Joe Brady wouldn't get seriously considered for one of the head-coaching vacancies. But he has had several interviews and somebody certainly could take a flyer on the 31-year-old. He seems to be a bright guy with people skills, but frankly he looked overmatched in the second half of the season.

Opposing coaches seemed to know what the Panthers were going to do much of the time, and on many, many occasions there was confusion between Brady and the offensive huddle. On two of those occasions, indecision on a key play in the closing minute cost the Panthers chances to win.

He is young, and he can improve on all that stuff, but it sure seems a reach to give a young guy with very limited experience a head-coaching gig. But I do know that's the trend now, so we'll see.

Leave it to the Texans.  After they go through the "inmates running the prison" debacle, finally getting rid of Bill O'Brian and having the opportunity to start anew, they go out and hire a search firm to identify potential GM candidates...and promptly ignore all of their recommendations to hire the guy from the Patriots who they weren't allowed to hire a year ago.

And then, after seeking Deshaun Watson's input in the process, they ignore his recommendation to interview Eric Biennemy.  So now he wants to be traded.

What a horribly run franchise.

People were quick to deem it diva behavior when he complained about the GM search, like “how much does he really know about GMs”...completely ignoring the fact that he’s a bright guy and he can clearly see the organization is learning nothing from their failures and just firmly committed to doing the same as before.

The coaching search is even more egregious.  To ignore your franchise player, and supposed future, and not even interview the guy is baffling beyond belief.  Be interesting to see who is in play for him if they do even explore trading him.   We know it won’t be the Bears cause they can’t have nice things

Jeez.  This is bad.  All for some doofus who worked his way up from being a "character coach."

This Heinicke kid is fun to watch.

Agreed. On a day of generally blah football, he was poised and intriguing. Gritty performance to come back from injury too. Will be interested to see what he does next.

Me five minutes ago: You know, maybe this Lamar Jackson during the playoffs thing is actually worrisome.

Me now:  Nevermind.

He played about half a game for the Panthers with a broken arm. Tough kid.

Every once in a long while, a QB who fell through the cracks emerges as legit - Kurt Warner leaps to mind - but more likely he is very limited to what he can do and that's why he can't keep an NFL job. He is the kind of athlete I root for, though.

And speaking of QBs who are fun to watch ...

Lamar Jackson just escaped almost a sure sack, got out of the pocket, and raced to the end zone. Once he got in the clear, it was as if he had been shot out of a cannon. Nobody was gonna catch him.

By the way I have generally liked ESPN’s crew on MNF, but they seemed overwhelmed here. No one questioned that punt. It’s like they have their talking points and are sticking to them. Riddick is hardly talking at all.

BAFFLING stubbornness from Vrabel and the Titans. This is wild

https://twitter.com/benbbaldwin/status/1348360544651272193?s=21

Ravens have been selling out on the run all game and the Titans have just been waltzing right into it.

I was really looking forward to this game and it’s been total garbage

Agreed, the ESPN broadcast always feels so over produced and practiced than any other broadcast. I thought from my own personal enjoyment category, I thought the announce crew was vanilla and terrible. It’s like ESPN goes out of its way to not upset the NFL in any way, it hurts the product.

Titans started off torching them through the air too. So they knew it was working.

Just flat out stopped doing it.

Bears are going to have to throw the ball more than 3 yards down field if they’re going to beat a good team.

Yes, but problem is that’s about all Trubisky is capable of completing.

No one makes more business decisions than Eddie Jackson. He’s been awful this year.

Apparently the Bears traded for MVS this week.
