Based on what the announcers were saying, he may not even have known they were going to do that since it may have been an automatic-audible due to there only being 10 men on defense. (Assuming you're talking about what would have been a ridiculous fake to call in that situation.)

Should be Buffalo's ball. Incredibly close, but looks like ball was moving

While I think the only other team he'd consider playing for is the Chiefs, it would only be fair if he jumped to the Bills as a "repayment" for the Ass Birds taking another HOFer (Jason Peters) from Buffalo. And yeah - I'm pulling hard for Buffalo here, and don't feel good one bit. KC is KCing again, and at this point, I can't see the Buffalo defense getting it done.

It's believed that the "former head coach" is Frank Reich, who was the OC when they won the SB (though Pederson was calling plays.) Another rumored name for OC is Jim Bob Cooter. I have no idea whether he's good or not. But they can't do anything on the offensive side while Brian Johnson is Rooney Ruling, so it'll take a few weeks. But the fact that Sirianni himself called Desai to fire him seems to indicate that he's capitulated and is returning, I'm not sure if this is good or not. Leaning towards not, as a full house cleaning seems warranted, but I'll talk myself into liking it.

I'm 99% sure that's Big Dom in the background. It would make sense for him to be there with him.

Nobody is having more fun today than Jason Kelce.

Wow. I hadn't paid much attention to that logo, but now that I see all that crap that was forced in there, it may be my least-favorite logo in the past 10-15 years. If it was for the team and not just a fan section, I'd say it's worse than the Slug. The really just slapped a slightly-modified Ohio in the ear for... reasons. Speaking of the Slug, I think I see it to the right of the stripe! It's like they knew this logo was as bad as the Slug so they paid homage to it.

The Ravens best combo. Should be their only dark option. Loved it in 1996, love it now.

To be fair, there's no indication that's the case.

No, they finished 1-6 (including the loss to TB.)

The legacy Jets stripes are so easily fixable by simply flipping the colors in the shoulder insert. It's literally so simple and wouldn't result in any change to the look (besides fixing the issue of the awkward extra white part. It's so easy and doesn't require any changes to anything - just switch the inserts between the white and green jersey.

As predicted, but now credible reports (i.e. not Josina Anderson) saying that Howie/Lurie told Sirianni that he could keep his job, only if he fires both coordinators and other coaches and either goes with their list. Supposedly, the DC hire (Desai) was his choice as a sort of flex, and he sold them on it, even though they recommended promoting the DB coach, who was promptly fired (and is now in line to be Baltimore's next DC, go figure) The funny thing is that they haven't fired any coaches yet, but Howie has already made calls to agent of the guys on his list to set up interviews when it's time. Sirianni is mulling it over, but there's no way he doesn't do whatever they tell him to do, even if it means Howie sleeping with his wife. Fortunately for him, Hurts' professional relationship with his homeboy OC seems to have deteriorated over the year, so maybe firing him won't cause as much of a riff as previously thought. TL;DR Eagles are a complete dumpster fire and it's not going to get any better. There's no way they finish higher than 3rd in the division next year. They went from winning 30 of last 35 regular-season games (30 of 33 if we only count Hurts' starts) and two playoff games over the past three seasons, to a complete disaster over the course of two months. Give me another example of a turn like this - you can't.

I can't stand Romo. He's way over the top with his excitement level. It's like Olsen on Red Bull and a hoarse voice,

I think a lot of the hype is due to how bad the current set is, and that anything is better. It's not that the Sack Exchange uniforms are bad by any means, but simply reverting to them verbatim* would be an overcorrection. It's not the same as going back to Namath era, which IMO should be their "forever" set, but it's also not the same as simply making a new uniform that doesn't completely suck ass and look like an Arena or spring-league set. *even if they go back, I'd bet that they change the size of the shoulder numbers and add the wordmark/logo under the collar to comply with today's norms, and in the case of the numbers, manufacturing standards.

I used to feel the same way. In fact, I've probably made posts adamantly against any notion of color v color games. But as I get older, I've backed off of some of my hard-line stances, and allow for some exceptions to my "rules". This particular matchup, in a championship game, would be one of them (provided the Lions weren't mono-blue, because I'd never support anything that allows that stupid combo.)

Maybe because they're usually leading and forcing opposing offenses to pass more? I certainly haven't watched a ton of 49ers games, but my hunch is that their run defense hasn't really been tested. That being said, when you look at the talent on the line and LBs, they should be good when tested. We'll (likely) see next week.

Well Green Bay's kicker won't be on the flight back to Wisconsin. Even if they didn't void his ticket, he'd probably miss the flight.

And for the Cowboys, that's their last championship game appearance. Not just win, but appearance. Let's give some respect to the GB defense. Deebo is out, but someone's always out for them. CMC has some great plays, which he should, because he's... well, great. But overall GB has played an excellent defensive game. Offense has controlled the ToP, and the defense has done its part - so far.

You're right, it is a perfectly acceptable opinion, even if I vehemently disagree with it. Quit being so defensive. Maybe loosen your tie.

The other solution to the Jets legacy jersey problem would be to modernize it by putting it on the Texans template, have the sleeve white, and the shoulder insert green with surrounded by white piping. Forgive the Lakers font, it's just what I was using last time I tried this and I didn't feel like finding a block one. I think it's a bad-ass football font anyways.

Greg Olsen is so good at this. I think Brady will also be really good, but Olsen definitely doesn't deserve to be demoted. If Brady actually follows through with his plan to broadcast next year, then FOX will have an outstanding B-team. I think Kevin Burkhardt proved himself to be a A-team-caliber PBP guy too. I always liked Buck and Aikman, but now after listening to Olsen so much, I can't listen to an Aikman game without noticing how little he actually contributes.

Coach in sweats: "run the ball to the left" Players: "lol bro, we'll do whatever we want, go sit in the stands with the rest of the fans" Coach in a suit: "run the ball to the left" Players: "OMG, we better do what the CEO says" LOL. If you need a suit to show that you're the leader, then you're not a leader. In fact if I was a player, I'd question the competence of someone that doesn't know how to dress for his environment. It'd be like wearing a parka in July, or nothing but swim trunks and thongs in the winter, which is acceptable only when done by Aussies.

I don't know if this guy is a starter or not, but if so, it totally sucks for whoever is behind him that never expected they'd go their whole college career behind a guy that somehow managed to stay on the team for nearly a decade. I don't blame a guy that likes playing for doing whatever he can to keep playing. Hell, if you get in another year of pulling all the tail you want, then go for it! But it just seems wrong.

Coaches in suits is stupid. Why on earth should a coach wear a wool suit in a situation where it's hot as balls and where they're running up and down the sidelines? I'm shocked that they were ever able to coach while so uncomfortable. They're telling guys which direction to run in, and to run faster. They're not delivering the State of the Union address.
