roamyn December 4, 2019 Share December 4, 2019 Rivers should retire, as should Brady. Both of them have been terrible this year. Cam has too many questions surrounding his physical health IMO. Unfortunately running QBs don’t last long. And he took waaay too many hits in his career. Ron Rivera seems like a nice guy, and a good coach. But they lost 6 or 8 straight last year b4 they benched Cam. It doesn’t surprise me, and Tepper (the owner) said he didn’t want to do a coaching search behind his back. Dan Quinn, Patrick, Pedersen are all on the hot seat, too. Shurmer, Garrett & Kitchens should be, but they won’t. 2 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/3173-nfl-thread/page/245/#findComment-5789362

The Giants are a mess, mostly on defense but not entirely, so it still seems unlikely they could pull out a win.

If Garrett isn't given a new contract, I think he will probably have better results coaching somewhere else. I think It was Nick Wright over on FS1, that said that the Dallas job is a great job. It would be if it didn't seem as though Jones was hovering over that team like a blanket. Jerry isn't afraid to spend the money, but I think he gets far too involved with the day to day operations of the team which I believe undercuts any authority that Garrett may have trying to deal with players and coach the team. In many ways, Jones reminds me of George Steinbrenner of the Yankees. He just isn't as over the top with it as Steinbrenner was. Even Jerry knows he's the problem. He gave an interview some years back saying if the GM was another person who had the same results as Jerry did, the other person would have been fired by now. Jerry just has an insatiable desire to be the one who gets all the praise.

Jx223 December 6, 2019 Share December 6, 2019 (edited) That was a good win by Chicago. It was one of the best games Mitchell Trubisky has played. He has looked better the past couple of week after really struggling earlier on this season. OTOH it was another rough game for the Cowboys. After their long opening drive that resulted in a TD, they ended up struggling on both sides of the ball. The offense couldn't do much throughout this game and the defense struggled as well as Mitchell Trubisky and the Bears offense ran over them. The Bears offense was able to move the ball pretty well against the Cowboys tonight. Now with this loss, there is even more pressure on the Cowboys. They are in a tight spot Technically they could still win the division at 9-7 if they win out (including beating the Eagles.) But they play against the Rams next week who have also been struggling and are fighting for their playoff lives. That could be a tough match up for them and another loss. And if that happens their playoffs chance diminishes even more. Granted they still could make it even with 8-8 but the Eagles have an easier schedule than they do. (And could also win out as well). The Cowboys really need to win their last 3 remaining games. A silver lining for them is that Eagles have been struggling even more than they have. But it could be a tight race between both teams at the end to see who wins the division.

Even when the trend should be towards making the game safer and being more careful with injuries than ever before (and to be fair, a lot of teams are like this, because they actually understand the risks and dangers of the sport). Somehow, some people equate the ability to not get hurt with mental toughness, when it's really nothing of the kind.

This was the second week in a row the 49ers played a gritty game and this time they came out with the win. They really have been very impressive this year.

I think it depends on the situation and how obviously off the officials are. For instance, I would get why a coach would use a challenge if they're on the opposing team's side of the field, it's third down and the officials are off by about half a yard. A first down there could mean the difference between being in field goal range and punting.

This is the first time that I can remember in a long time that the Patriots didn't seem to have a significant advantage at home when it came to how the referees were handling the game. That said, there were some bad calls that went in the Patriots' favor. Beyond that, the Chiefs are nowhere near as good as the media makes them out to be. I knew the Patriots were going to block that punt before it happened. I could see it coming a mile a way. I don't know how the Patriots can be awarded possession of the ball from a Chiefs' fumble when the whistle blew before anyone had recovered the ball. It doesn't make sense, though I think this rule was put in place when the Chargers got screwed at a game in Denver several years ago by a ref that was too whistle happy. As much as I hate the Patriots, they are the best coached team in the league. The only way that any team is going to beat them in the playoffs, is by running up the score on them and not letting them get back in the game. Oh, and they can't turn the ball over. Also, will someone tell Romo to shut up. Romo is so bad! 3 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/3173-nfl-thread/page/245/#findComment-5799414

xaxat December 10, 2019 Share December 10, 2019 Is there a single company that prints all of the offensive play calling sheets in the NFL? Regardless of the team, they all seem to have a similar layout and color scheme. 1 1 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/3173-nfl-thread/page/245/#findComment-5800778

Magog December 10, 2019 Share December 10, 2019 (edited) Somehow, the Eagles showed up in the 2nd half & beat the Giants on Overtime. They were basically napping in the 1st half. But, they got it together just in time to win the game. Thankfully, the Eagles won tonight & Eli didn't get the last laugh, as it got very tiring looking at the Manning family constantly. ESPN was rooting for Eli Manning all night. I'm certain that they're sad that not only did he lost, that their Cowboys won't have an easier time winning that sorry NFC East.
