2020 NFL Season

[Superballer]

So be it.  He did show enough flashes this previous Sunday to warrant a closer look; let's see how he can do in a full game.  And on the other side of the coin, let us remember that 12 years ago, Andy Reid's decision to briefly sit Donovan McNabb down after he fell into a rut did wonders for him; he came back stronger than ever and led them to the conference championship game, and only lost about 4 games the following season.  So perhaps a respite of some length will be just as beneficial in the long run for Wentz, who, as I noted above, is probably still a pretty good quarterback underneath.

Philadelphia has so many issues though, compared to their 2008 season.  Moreover, McNabb was proven prior to that year.  5 NFC East titles, 4 conference finals appearances & one Super Bowl.  Wentz does have a ring, but Carson was on IR when Philadelphia beat New England.


Looks like the Ravens are going to survive against the Cowboys.  That Monday Night Football game is going to be a classic between Baltimore & Cleveland.  Speaking of the AFC North, who would've thought that the Steelers could use help from Baltimore against the Browns.  If it gets to that, then Pittsburgh, despite an 11-0 start, does not deserve to be in the playoffs.  However, the Ravens have routed the Cowboys which may hold some hope that they can escaped Cleveland with a victory.  Therefore, the Steelers, who will reach the postseason without winning a game again (unless Kansas City loses on purpose again) would win the division with just one more win

Yeah, it's down to Washington and the Giants.  The bad news for New York is their schedule.  Washington has a favorable schedule, but they might regret everything if they dropped a game to San Francisco

The Cleveland Browns-New York Giants matchup will now be the Sunday Night Football game for week 15, replacing Dallas Cowboys vs San Francisco 49ers. It's the first time this season the Sunday matchup was flexed to provide a better game (the other replacement Seahawks vs Cardinals for Buccaneers vs Raiders was COVID related and not because of the game quality).

Not only that, but I think it's the first time ever that the Dallas Cowboys have been flexed out of Sunday Night Football.  The league usually announces that no less than 12 days before the actual game (unless it's for Week 17, then it's the Sunday or Monday before the final game of the regular season).  With Week 13 concluding last night as opposed to Monday, it delayed the inevitable with "America's Team" officially becoming the 5th team (and first NFC team) booted from postseason contention

Browns-Giants is looking like a pretty good game but I surprised Chiefs-Saints wasn't flexed in instead. Chiefs-Saints could legit be 1 of the best games of the year, especially if Brees is back by then and we get Brees vs Mahomes. Really legitimately surprised that wasn't picked for flex even though what they did pick is pretty good.

Chiefs at Saints is protected by CBS

The 4:25 Game of the Week games on CBS and Fox are protected and cannot be flexed into Sunday night.

The Patriots NFL-record of consecutive seasons of at least 10-wins has come to an end tonight.

To add to that, if Buffalo defeats Pittsburgh on Sunday Night, there will be a new AFC East Champion.  The Bills can't clinch, as Miami isn't too far behind them, but chances are that it will be close enough to where they will get there sooner rather than later.  The Dolphins are hosting Kansas City, and while anything can happen, this looks to be a great weekend for Buffalo.  Of course, the Bills host Miami to close out the season.

Buffalo might clinch before Week 17, but they also could be in a battle for the 2 seed.  Either way, that would mean that everyone in the NFL has finally won its division since 2002, with the exception of Detroit and Cleveland (who still has a fair enough chance to win it this season)

Have an afternoon,  Hasson Reddick. Five sacks on Giants QB Daniel Jones in the Cardinals' 26-7 win.

[moneygamelover]

Glad to see my Cardinals back in the win column after the win over the Giants. The Cardinals move back into playoff position with the win and the Vikings loss to the Buccaneers Go Cardinals!

Meanwhile,  Washington takes 1st place in the NFC East if they beat the 49ers today.

The Packers can clinch the NFC North with a win over the Lions today.

Patrick Mahomes has joined Dan Marino and Peyton Manning as the only quarterbacks in NFL history to throw for over 4000 yards in 3 of their 4st 4 seasons. Great job Mahomes, that's very elite company to be in.

[SeaBreeze341]

Any word if the Viking threw Bailey overboard yet?


Miami looks like that one team that can upset Kansas City in the postseason if they make it.  Next year they would be a problem for the Chiefs for sure, but I don't think they'll be able to pass Buffalo before seasons end

[Ccook]

Meanwhile, Kansas City takes the AFC West crown with a 33-27 win over Miami.

[SeaBreeze341]

Houston became the fifth team eliminated from postseason contention.  Atlanta will become the sixth team with a loss.  New Orleans & Green Bay will join Kansas City as division winners if they both take care of business.  Pittsburgh could too I guess, but I'd be the least surprised if they got blown out at Orchard Park.  Plus they need help to clinch the AFC North title anyway

[Ccook]

Right now, Philly is giving the Saints the business. Saints finally score, it's 17-7 Eagles, and there's still plenty of time.
