dfwabel Posted September 30, 2016 Share Posted September 30, 2016 The contract is huge, and the future cap hits are hell, but it's difficult to think that Ryan Tannehill will evolve into even a mediocre QB. This is the only team with FOUR 1st round picks on their OL and he cannot do much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sport Posted September 30, 2016 Share Posted September 30, 2016 Not much to take away from the game last night. The Dolphins are very bad. That's what I gathered. They might be dumber than the Bengals which is hard to do. I'd never seen this before - a dude just straight up shoved the punter well after the ball was kicked for no reason. They gave him a 15 yard penalty because of course and I'm pretty sure the Bengals turned that into a field goal. Why would you think shoving the punter after he's kicked the ball is a good idea? The Bengals' red zone offense will be fine once Eifert comes back against Dallas so not that worried. They seemed to iron out their own dumb mistakes issues. I'm looking at their schedule and not overly worried. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JayMac Posted September 30, 2016 Share Posted September 30, 2016 I've probably said it before but The Shield™ really needs to scrap the Thursday night games. It further dilutes the product. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Admiral Posted September 30, 2016 Share Posted September 30, 2016 I think the league had the right idea at first, which was Thursday and Saturday games from Thanksgiving to the end of the year as a run-up to the playoffs. Then they got greedy, as they always do. I would rather see national Saturday doubleheaders in the home stretch with no Thursday games but Thanksgiving (and Christmas Day, make sure there's a game on whatever day Christmas falls on, because we need football on TV to distract us from relatives we don't like). That would surely mean fewer national games altogether, but whatever, America doesn't need Dolphins-Bengals games as much as it thinks it does. ♫ oh yeah, board goes on, long after the thrill of postin' is gone ♫ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I've seen the schedule correctly, Detroit's lone Thursday game is their normal 12:30pm Thanksgiving Day game. Dallas has a Thursday night game the week after their Thanksgiving afternoon game, but that's against Minnesota, and both will be able to treat it as a regular week since both will be on normal 7-day schedules. And, if you see the Cowboys' schedule annually, you always see a bunch of national television games, whether it's primetime or the back-end of the doubleheader. Folks will watch the Cowboys, whether it's to cheer for or against them. It's never a bad financial/viewership decision to put the Cowboys game on at night. As long as they keep these Thursday night games (and seeing the money involved with it....they aren't going away any time soon), the math says that there's 17 Thursday games between Weeks 2 and 16, so everyone's getting one (to keep things fair) and two teams are getting a second one. The NFL will try their best to have two of the Thanksgiving Day participants play in the following week's Thursday game so that they get to treat it as a normal week (and since the Thanksgiving night game can select any two teams, it makes the most sense to hand-pick one of the teams that's on Detroit's or Dallas's predetermined opponents play that game, if need be).

DG_ThenNowForever Posted October 1, 2016 Share Posted October 1, 2016 It would be difficult, but could they at least time Thursday games to follow teams' bye weeks? Four days rest isn't fair or good for anyone. 1 hour ago, ShutUpLutz! said: and the drunken doodoobags jumping off the tops of SUV's/vans/RV's onto tables because, oh yeah, they are drunken drug abusing doodoobags Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Four days rest isn't fair or good for anyone. Kinda hard to schedule Thursday games after byes when you consider that there are going to be Thursday games on every week between Week 2 and Week 16. The quality of the product does dip a bit on three days rest. However, it's fair because every team will have a Thursday appearance. And while it's not good on the front-side with just three days off between games, the backside is the benefit that the players enjoy....with nine off days between games, it's basically a second bye.

While I'm a proponent of "it all balances out in the end" when it comes to things like, say, calling balls and strikes, I don't think the extended time off following the game is as beneficial as the short turnaround is detrimental. There should be bye weeks prior to Thursday games, and that's achieved only by significantly cutting back on Thursday games, which would suit most people just fine, other than CBS or NBC or whichever billion-dollar network can't develop any actual TV shows worth a damn and has to cover its ass with low-grade football. ♫ oh yeah, board goes on, long after the thrill of postin' is gone ♫ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2001mark Posted October 2, 2016 Share Posted October 2, 2016 It was years before I figured out why the NFL never scheduled more Saturday night games (NCAAF). Being Canadian, I wasn't yet fully immersed. I love them but I'd not want them all season. I think one TNF game a month would be perfect. Opening night Sept, Thanksgiving Nov, & just 2 other random matchups for Oct & Dec. I'd also, & this includes their current schedule, create more inter conference matchups. Steelers-Eagles would've been a good one this past week. Instead we get a lot of divisional matchups, which much of us have little care for (Jaguars-Titans is not sexy to anyone outside a couple thousand viewers). @2001mark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
waltere Posted October 2, 2016 Share Posted October 2, 2016 So not only is a helmet-to-helmet hit penalty somehow offset by a ticky-tack 'taunting' penalty, it's the guy who got called for 'taunting' who gets put on a last warning before an ejection.
