2020 Miscellaneous NFL News

[sarcasm]Start both offenses and both defenses at the 45yd line (45 yards from the goal line - going opposite directions). You only get 4 downs to score or you go back to the 45 yd line; snaps happen (essentially) at the same time. Each team has equal possessions and the first team that has the lead wins.[/sarcasm]

 

I put that in blue, but the more I think about it the more I like it.

 

That would be really fun AND fair! Everyone goes no huddle with quick snaps as they can't let the other team score first! Replay to see who crossed the goal line first! I love it.

 

Not OT realted, bu there was a rule change proposed in the competition committee that gained no traction, but I love it. Instead of Onside kick at the end of games, give team the ball at the 25, 4th and 15....I think. Convert and regular rules apply until the end of game.

The Texans released Kenny Stills .... hmmmm

 

That would cost about $2.2M for the final 5 games if they claimed him ($436k/game). I'd expect no one claims him, however.

 

 

Agreed. At which point, he'd cost the vets minimum, right?

 

Unless someone's willing to pay him more than the Texans were(Which is unlikely). I'd assume he's got an off-set in his contract.

Detroit Lions will be looking for a new head coach and GM in the offseason:

 

Sort of expect more of the same hiring, since it’s the Lions.

[PeaveyFury]

Not a shock. Of the clueless Packer opponent coaches thus far, Quinn and Patricia seemed to stand out above the rest. No surprise they're both looking for new jobs.

[nodakfan17]

The 2.2 million seems like a huge overpay just for a comp pick. Plus I believe NFL teams can roll over unused cap money to the next season.

The Browns basically paid $15 million for a 2nd round pick when they absorbed Brock Osweiller’s contract. $2.2 million for a 6th or 7th round pick seems within the range of possibilities (then again, I’m not sure how much faith I should put in transactions that occurred between the Browns and Texans ).

Patricia has a degree in like aeronautical engineering or something like that. So he's not dumb....maybe he's just book smart?

[PinaMadness]

Why couldn't the Lions wait another few weeks?

Bill O’Brien went to Brown. Jason Garrett went to Princeton. It doesn’t always translate to success, but you would think it’d count for something?

As if things weren't difficult enough going for the #1 seed, the Broncos don't have a quarterback available to play against the Saints.

WILDCAT!

 

NOLA is like -13.5 now

[nodakfan17]

Was Stills claimed?

[MrTPlush]

How did the Broncos manage to have all those guys be close contacts? Is the practice squad guy suppose to be on a different planet, basically? I mean at least one of the QBs...wow.

 

Broncos actually wanted to start one of their assistant coaches as they felt he would run the offense best...NFL wouldn’t allow it.

What about their general manager and president of football operations?

[PeaveyFury]

Vikings just gave up two scoop and scores on two consecutive offensive snaps. Delightful.

[BrewersSuperCollector]

I just turned on the NFL 5 minutes ago. Watching the Pats Cardinals game. I hate that ******** defenseless player penalty on a player chasing to make a tackle getting blocked. How can a player trying to make a tackle be defenseless. I turned the NFL off for the day now.

What a terrible penalty and if it is indeed the rule, it's a stupid rule.

Is it just me or does Dalvin Cook fake an injury every time he fumbles?

There must be something to this, as it was my first thought as well....

Colts down 38-14 to the Titans ... adjust your expectations accordingly for when the Titans visit Lambeau in a few weeks.

My expectations were and are a Titans rout.

[PeaveyFury]

Miserable clock management by the Panthers there. Fortunately another disaster play by the Vikings bails them out.

[HarveysWBs]

Simultaneous possession situation going on in Indianapolis. I’m going to have the nightmares coming back tonight, thanks Rivers. Some wounds never heal.

I thought they should have run on 3rd down there too, sure the TD wins it but running 45 seconds of the clock was big and they blew it. I bet the Vikes pull this out.

What is the point of dropping eight into coverage if you still allow easy chunk passes downfield? Attn: Mike Pettine

[young guns]

I don't know if I agree with that unsportsmanlike penalty on Arizona on the pats final drive.
