2020 NFL Season

[SeaBreeze341]

Man, the NFC West is stacked.  Imagine if the Niners were not dealing with a ton of injuries.  Next year, if Arizona, Seattle, and Los Angeles hold in terms of success, and if San Francisco can emulate their 2019 self (featuring Sherman, Bosa, Kittle, and maybe Jimmy G), 9-7 might be the last-place record in that division!  In fact, we might see every team within a division make the postseason.  I might have to check to see the closest that would've happened before the newly added 7th team.  Maybe 2014, but even so, Cleveland blew it in the AFC North.

I think the Cardinals will be okay.  As mentioned, the first half has to be better.  3-3 down the stretch could do it, but 4-2 is a safer bet.  Looking at the schedule, it looks like 3-4 wins are possible if all goes well

To paraphrase Ringo in Yellow Submarine , Matt Ryan has a hole in his pocket. He's been sacked six times already as of this post and the third quarter isn't even over yet. Saints lead, 17-9.

The Steelers are 10-0 for the 1st time in franchise history with a 27-3 win over the lowly Jaguars.

After holding off the Eagles 22-17, the 7-3 Browns are off to their best start since 1989.

Derrick Henry. That is all.

Saints 24, Falcons 9. Taysom Hill simply outplayed Matt Ryan, whose last 0 TD/2 INT game was 2015. Ryan was sacked eight times total.

At this rate, one team could win the NFC East division with a losing record with these teams being closely stacked to the point where all of those teams in the division still have a shot.

After a late Carr to Witten touchdown gave the Raiders a 31-28 lead. Patrick Mahomes showed why he is best player in the NFL by putting together a game winning touchdown drive culminating with a game winning touchdown to best tight end in the NFL, Travis Kelce, with 28 seconds left.  The Chiefs are 9-1 and clearly the kings of the NFC west. The Raiders are an improving team but the Chiefs showed tonight that the AFC west is still their kingdom.

Kansas City is still the AFC West kings even if Las Vegas had survived.  Though the Raiders would have had a better argument.  While I could care less for them, it did suck that several of their players missed the entire week of practice.  Yet the Chiefs nearly got swept. 

I wonder what'll happen in the future when Allegiant Stadium is at full capacity for a primetime game.  Probably don't know if I'd ever rank it as high as Arrowhead, the Superdome, or the former Century Link field, but that venue looks like it'll be a nightmare for opposing teams.  However, it was neat to hear the players during the game

Breaking News: Multiple People Within The Ravens Organization Have Tested Positive For COVID-19


The above comes from the Baltimore Ravens themselves.  No mention from ESPN or the NFL yet.  Nothing from Jay Glazer or Adam Schefter either, but Ian Rapoport noted it on his Twitter Account

Noted on ESPN's website.

Thanks Ccook.  Just saw it (and the NFL link).  While still too early to tell, not much from anyone else, especially Jason LaCanfora or Mike Florio, as it relates to postponing the game.  I'd be surprised if they kept it, but not shocked.  I'm not sure the NFL would want to move a Thursday Night Thanksgiving game of that magnitude (Steelers/Ravens).  Of course, they could move the Lions and Cowboys games up to 3:00 and 7:00, respectively

[SeaBreeze341]

No Thursday Night Football on Thanksgiving this year.  Steelers/Ravens game being moved to Sunday (time TBD later).  First time without the third game in 15 years

[Ccook]

Pittsburgh at Baltimore will be a 1 PM kickoff on NBC.

[JayC]

So there goes the one compelling matchup of tomorrow's slate. Hopefully the Ravens (and the Steelers) can stay case free until Sunday so the game can go on then.
