Dinged up defense, west coast team traveling for a 2nd week in a row into 15 degrees on a short week (likely Saturday game) Yeah they can run the ball, but it won't be enough. What a clown show to end this game....
-
Snapped too early after having 10 minutes since the last play...lol
-
God Romo needs to lose his microphone...
-
I honestly think SF/LAR/AZ are going to be similar opponents. I just want to play Saturday. I'd agree with that, on top of thinking az/lar would have a better shot at knocking Tampa off next weekend, too.

This is not the same 49ers squad that did whatever they wanted against gb in the 2019 nfccg....doesn't look like either team wants to make a playright now. Penalties, dropped gimme picks. Rooting for the 49ers to eek this one out...
-
Tony Romo, please stop with the manufactured Jimmy G future crap. He stinks
-
Jimmy G did a great job of showing its value...
-
Lol at the trainwreck after the fake
-
Or a 49er defender is limping off the field...
-
Dallas is so damn undisciplined....doubtful it makes a difference in this game but they aren't giving themselves a chance with the stupid penalties.
-
Sunday games appear to confirm what we probably already knew - the nfc east really sucks at football.

It actually was. No team in playoff history had ever scored a TD on every possession. Now, technically they didn't because they got the ball back with <2 minutes left and didn't score but they just did three kneel-downs. For as impressive as Allen's performance was, I think once the Bills got up a few scores the Pats pretty much mailed it in and the weather did play a role in that. The pick Hyde had to end the 1st Patriot drive was huge to take away a TD and really put deflate New England's sideline. Allen has looked unstoppable multiple weeks and then the next he's back to his inconsistent self - tough to string 3 straight great performances together to reach the Super Bowl, but he definitely has the talent to do it...and their defense is good enough to win them a game where he might scuffle a bit.

Hurts gives their rushing offense multiple dimensions because of his running ability - he ran for almost 800 yards in 15 games played this season - he's adequate as a passer, but everything comes off the run in their offense. If a team can force them into predictable passing downs, Hurts is going to struggle having to drop back without play action or quarterback RPO plays where it's a quick decision to either pass to the primary receiver or execute a designed quarterback run. He's also pretty good when the Eagles go empty backfield and any edge rush breaks contain and he can scramble - a lot like Russel Wilson early in his career when he ran more, but not as gifted a passer. If Tampa were healthy upfront I don't think Philly would have a chance because they would struggle to run the ball, but with dinged lineman and LBs I think Philly can make a game of it assuming their defense keeps Brady reasonably in check and their offense can eat up the clock. Philly would also have to connect on a couple shot plays to win this game, as their running scheme does tend to open up 1-on-1 matchups on the outside and they do have speed at receiver to get downfield.

To be fair to Edelman, that $100K was given to him by the betting app he used to make that wager in order to generate publicity - and Edelman made the perfect bet to generate as much publicity as he could have.
-
There are some throws Allen makes that are just unreal.
-
I miss Micah Hyde...
-
Agreed that one play doesn't determine the whole outcome....but I came out of that game wondering how cincy didn't win by 20 with how poorly Vegas played. Cincy was the better team today but mostly because the Raiders beat themselves.
-
If the Raiders don't self destruct all game long and the refs actually follow the inadvertent whistle rule appropriately, Vegas wins that game rather easily. That's quite an assumption Everything went against the Raiders today, including their own drive-killing penalties in the first half, and they still had multiple goal to go chances to tie the game that was a 7 point deficit because of a TD that should not have counted. Its an assumption, sure, but not a stretch
-
Raiders had some key d linemen out, which im sure factored into Burrow not constantly being harassed. That Bengal line will look much different assuming they are playing on the road next week.

This Raiders Bengals game is borderline unwatchable because of officials and replay delays

League MVP awards can go to non qb's - just not a player that touches the ball only about 10-12 times a game and has to do so after a qb throws it to him. No nfl WR has ever won MVP - Kupp has had a fantastic season, but he's not even the best player on his team.

It's tough, because of the contact even the most rested players can blow a knee out at any moment - i feel like in basketball the extra wear and tear and fatigue related to their insane travel schedule plays more of a role with preventable injuries. Plus next to nobody cares about the NBA regular season aside from Christmas day. With the NFL salary cap structure, it's really difficult to sit a star making 10-15% of your team payroll for a couple weeks in the middle of a season when each game honestly means so much for playoff positioning, and instead give all those snaps to a practice squad player barely holding onto a NFL roster spot. To me the closest thing some NFL teams do now is splitting carries between running backs and going with a heavy front 7 defensive rotation for snaps. With roster limitations, teams can't get too nuts with giving healthy starters games off with certain position groupings, too. Say you give a starting lineman a week off, then you get an in-game injury and poor performance by their backup and 3rd string lineman options, and you're stuck playing the rest of the game hoping your starting QB doesn't get killed with your best player at that position watching from the sideline in a sweatshirt. The other general load management improvement the NFL could do as a whole is add a 2nd bye week to the schedule.

For guys like Z and Whitney, that may be all they need. 10-15 pass rush snaps as fresh legs that also help keep Gary/Preston fresher. We've shown the LB corps can hold up fine as-is, so fresh pass rush legs are just a huge luxury. I'd add that bringing this type of veteran talent back to serve as primary depth drastically limits holes on the defensive roster that opponents cant scheme to try and exploit - particularly upfront. Having players like Z. Smith and Mercilus take snaps on the field while still getting into game shape is a better option than giving them to other backup OLBs who might be in better game shape but simply aren't as talented as guys who still flash pro bowl ability in limited action. Having Gary and P. Smith playing well and taking the majority of snaps with the potential for these other two guys to spell them is significant.

That's exactly what Cleveland did this year. Sort of, but GB won that game and maintained a 2 score lead until about 5 minutes left in the 4th quarter, and the Browns still threw it 36 times - the Browns ran the ball well because they are a top-5 running team, but they weren't running it at will to the point where they dictated the entire game. And despite Mayfield playing terribly and throwing 4 INTs, much of the Browns' early offensive success moving the ball came off the pass, not just running the ball 9 straight plays. GB's offense basically vanished after their opening 2nd half drive that resulted in a FG, too - which led to GB getting ground down defensively with a series of long drives as the 2nd half wore on and actually made what should have been a blowout a one-score game late.
