Rich Eisen on his show tomorrow: "I told you all at the start of the season that the Seahawks was going to win 8 games because of Pete Carroll" or something like that. He was the only pundit who predicted that the Seahawks would not be terrible because of Pete Carroll. This was two months ago:

I have a prediction for Lovie Smith: He'll take a year off and return to coaching......at an HBCU.

Josh McCown?

I don't see Ron Rivera being fired, at least not while the ownership is in flux. He likely stays another year (with staff changes) if there's a new owner, unless they fire Rivera, a new coach comes in before the team is sold and we get Nathaniel Hackett 2.0 with the new coach.

Patriots are making this competitive......which means that if they win and go to the playoffs and win a playoff game, Bill Belichick might think it's enough to keep Matt Patricia and Joe Judge.

Houston, despite the fact it's in Texas

I sort of want to see the Jags win the Super Bowl this year for the sole purpose of Triple H having to award a replica WWE Title to an NFL team owned by his rival Tony Khan. The only conference championship combination I do not want is Bucs vs. Packers. That would be the most boring combination possible on either side. As I said earlier, on the NFC side, any two of Daniel Jones, Kirk Cousins, Dak Prescott, Jalen Hurts, Brock Purdy in the NFC Championship game is something I want to see. I was happy we didn't get Rodgers vs. Brady in the NFC Championship last season and it was Jimmy G vs. Matthew Stafford.

They should have done East and West, just shift Orlando and Vegas.

Trevor Lawrence made significant strides this season and there's a really good chance he's the most experienced QB in that division next year, because I don't think Tannehill comes back. Texans and Colts will take a QB and Titans go with.....Malik Willis?

So when does Todd Downing get fired?

I did. It was namely "as long as the Chiefs have Mahomes and Kelce, they will win a lot of games and win their division."

the Chiefs haven't been invincible at all this season as the pundits predicted to start the season. They were supposed to destroy the Broncos and Texans but struggled to get past them.

If you want ultimate chaos, the QB matchup in the NFC Championship should feature two of Jalen Hurts, Brock Purdy, Dak Prescott, Daniel Jones, Kirk Cousins or Jared Goff/Geno Smith. If it's Brady vs. Rodgers, the NFC Championship game is going to be boring as hell. People are still going to watch, but it will be boring as hell.

Cashman Stadium is being used for the XFL, and their season ends right around the time of the NFL Draft.

When he makes it all the way through (and it looks like that will happen) his playing career is likely over, but I could see the Bills offering him a chance to remain with the team as an assistant coach if he wants it. When this first happened, unsurprisingly, Skip Bayless acted like a moron. And say what you want about Colin Cowherd, he said that the NFL postponing the Bills vs. Bengals was the right decision and that Hamlin's life matters more than football.

Mike Glennon (and his neck) are back in the NFL:

Jeremy Renner on Instagram: “Thank you all for your kind words. . Im too messed up now to type. But I send love to you all.” It's going to be a long rehab for Renner.

There have been calls for Week 18 to be pushed back as well as the postseason, eliminating the bye week between the Conference Championship Games and the Super Bowl. Right now the plan is play Week 18 as planned, but the Bills and Bengals might not be mentally ready to play until they know the status of Hamlin.

Like I said about Stetson Bennett, unless he's the next Brock Purdy at the next level, these games are likely the best we see out of Max Duggan. Of course for all we know, Duggan and Bennett might have longer NFL careers than Will Levis and Anthony Richardson.
