I hope it doesn't interfere with watching the game normally. According to earlier reports, that's for the Nickelodeon broadcast and not the actual network. Maybe it's subject to change; I don't mind the playoff expansion (in fact, over the past week or so I'm actually admiring it), but do it for more games. I don't need to see unnecessary nonsense during one of the most important games of the entire NFL season. On the other hand, that garbage would be reversed for the other AFC South playoff team not playing a noon game on ESPN Link to comment

Lamb18 December 18, 2020 Share December 18, 2020 Just finished watching the Chargers/Raiders game. The Chargers won in overtime, 30-27. Two takeaways from the game: The Chargers' kicker caught the Dan Bailey disease and missed two field goals. The Raiders' kicker missed one, but that was a 65-yard attempt. Gruden caused quite a stir - almost a scandal - when he wore his OAKLAND Raiders hat to the game. It was swapped out later for a Las Vegas Raiders hat. 1 1 Link to comment
vb68 December 18, 2020 Share December 18, 2020 My own takeaway is that Justin Herbert is a future superstar in the league. He is so fun to watch, never gives up, and is poised as hell. He would be in the playoffs this year if he had even a mediocre group around him and a decent coaching staff. He's finally starting to see some light and has gotten back to back wins basically through sheer force of his will. Gruden's hat-gate was too funny. 3 hours ago, Lamb18 said: The Chargers' kicker caught the Dan Bailey disease and missed two field goals. This is not new. He's been doing that all season.

He's been doing that all season. Why he's still there I do not know. Because replacing a kicker is harder than it looks. Some teams are on their third or fourth kicker THIS YEAR. So you might have a guy who misses a couple, every game but makes the rest. You stick with him because the next guy might miss even more. WHY teams don't spend more time on developing a kicker I don't know. So many games come down to a last minute field goal you want a reliable guy. but nope, teams treat the kicker as an afterthought -- then complain when he is not 100% accurate all the time. 3 Link to comment

But still when a team is losing more than a couple of games- arguably as many as 4 or 5 games- because of a kicker, it would stand to reason replacing that kicker might be something of a priority.

Fukui San December 18, 2020 Share December 18, 2020 Have the Chargers always had cursed special teams? Off the top if my head, I can think of the two special teams scores given up against the Patriots this season, Nate Kaeding playoff misses, the time a punt returner ran 15 yards backwards to give up a safety, and a year The Chargers had a #1 offense and defense but missed the playoffs due to special teams. Did they ever have good special teams? Link to comment

Might have been the locker room, who knows. I looked at hubby and said "Cramps is tv talk for diarrhea." He had that walk when you hope to get to the bathroom on time. Then he ran out onto the field and made the play when McSorley got hurt. Because ... Lamar Jackson. When they said that Justin Tucker was so reliable I said "unless Joe Buck is making the call. Then he jinxes him." Absolutely wild game. Browns got nothing to be ashamed of. They went toe to toe with the Ravens and damn near pulled it off. 1st year under Stepaniski. Next year -- especially if they get an offseason -- they will hold their own in that division which is a tough one. As well, "flu-like symptoms" means the player is hungover.

It was like that yesterday, though being from Buffalo, there are times (mainly in past years) where they seemed to forget we were on the field at all. I don't particular like the national coverage of any sport as this happens, or worse they start talking about someone's grandfather (generally this applies to Hockey).

I was a little kid the last time this happened and Josh Allen I believe wasn't even born yet. That is correct. He wasn't born yet. For the record, the Bills were rather close to dethroning the Patriots last year with Brady still on the team (and starting, unlike in 2008). During that run, the Jets of all teams in the AFC East might've been the team that had the bragging rights over Buffalo and Miami. They actually knocked off New England when it counted the most San Francisco, Seattle, Minnesota, Miami, Baltimore, Tampa Bay, Tennessee, Indianapolis, Philadelphia, Los Angeles, Kansas City, and Cleveland win in Week 15, I think Link to comment

Well since jax managed to make an afc title game 3 years ago they have since traded their two best players from that team and managed to finish 4th in the division 3 years on a row.

I haven't decided how I feel about it, so maybe you can convince me. I am interested in where they are getting that extra game from. I'm thinking besides the entire division in the other conference that your division plays on a rotating basis, your division plays a different division in the other conference, each team only playing the team that placed as they did...much like you do with the two divisions in your own conference that your not playing each team in.

This article seems to think the game will come from out-of-conference and it could be a foreign game/neutral site game. The vote will come soon and likely pass. The season would just start a week earlier with one less pre-season game since this season seemed to do okay without a preseason. I would have liked to see an addition bye week added into the season.

DrSpaceman73 December 21, 2020 Share December 21, 2020 17 games is dumb but inevitable. It will be inter conference and much the same as now based on division rotation and finish Also will be netraul site or the will rotate nfc all home games one year afc the next. That way no team in conference will play an extra home game They should add a bye week too I agree. Though this means the superbowl will now be mid Feb at earliest. Link to comment
