I hope not. Patriots-Broncos might be a blood bath if Stidham is in over his head. Championship Sunday is the best day of the year for a pure football fan. Two blowouts would be sad.

Is Ben Johnson going to tell his guys that this may have been their only shot?

NFC North hasn't won a playoff game against a non-NFC North opponent since Detroit beat Tampa Bay.

McVay has had some crazy awful game management today. Boneheaded play calls. They won despite him. Walk home safely, Chitown.

If they can score here, all that touchdown will be is a meaningless footnote. And make Bears fans go home colder.

Durant just completely gave up. If he just stays physical on his man that’s an easy PBU. Atrocious coverage.

Durant needs to walk back to California. The hell was that coverage??

I think I want the Bears to score and doink the extra point. Maximum heartbreak.

A better head coach would have scored with 1st and Goal from the 5.

Sean McVay being smartest guy in the room, passing (incomplete) on 3rd and 1 after a run of 6. They got the 4th and 1 and then the touchdown or he’d be a moron.

Demeco Ryans completely waves the white flag, punting down 12 with 4:15 to go.

Can't believe the only thing standing in the way of the Patriots returning to the Super Bowl is Jarrett Stidham.

Feels like the AFC race is being reduced to who will be the last team with 11 healthy players

I haven't seen a good replay on the first one they called in OT, but the placement of the ball after the foul indicates it came earlier in the route than all of the replays showed. And the asinine roughing the passer that happened on the same play made it effectively a two-yard penalty on top of that 15. But the second one, he did gain separation. He was like two yards from the defender on the route. He slowed down a little to attempt the catch and that's when the DB gained ground and swiped, making early contact with the arms of the receiver. It would be a good call in the 1st quarter, and ideally they shouldn't have different standards for OT. If anything needs to be changed, it's the yardage. Make it a 15-yard penalty. Maybe add discretion to make it a spot foul for an intentional foul that clearly prevents a score. There's nothing inordinate about DPI that needs to make it a spot foul and effectively award points. Assuming the catch would be made is a stretch on a lot of these. They can be fouls without being 30-yard fouls. Especially when on the other hand an OPI is a mere 10-yard penalty. Bills have no one to blame but themselves.

Another year, another Bills collapse. I’m not sure it’ll happen in this regime. They can’t string them together in January, no matter what.

It's definitely what he's most remembered for. That's NFL infamy and was the most memorable moment of that season. But I don't think one moment as a backup QB would keep you from being a coach 15-20 years later.

This is the one that fills the room with pollen no matter how many times I see it.

I think if he wanted a job coaching he would have one. I think he’s just happier on television and spending every night at home with his kids. I don’t think anyone seriously holds that moment from nearly 20 years ago against him. He has an autistic son, Madden, who’s an amazing dude. He’s been on TV with his dad before. Really heartwarming stuff.

Orlovsky has a sharp football mind. The whole Orlovsky for OC thing is a joke that started on the McAfee Show but I’d give him an analyst or assistant to the assistant role. He probably makes more on television.

He had probably the worst center in football this season and still put up one of the best seasons in his career. I’m not sure this tracks.

When your own team says they’re not considering you to be the head coach after the old head coach steps down, you’re not “in the mix for multiple HC jobs” Nice agent fodder though. I think he’d probably be an okay OC here, but the Steelers haven’t been lighting it up on offense.

If you Google John Morton right now this is what you get:

Interviewing Zac Robinson on Thursday. Does anyone with a better memory than me remember if we cast this wide of a net before hiring Morton? It feels like no, but I probably wasn’t paying as close attention.

If he gets the offer he would be stupid not to take it.

Thanks for the fix. And I agree. Freeman would be dumb not to take it. Though the Steelers need a full blow up and rebuild. I think their fans know it and their front office knows it, but being theoretically 3-14 is a lot easier than actually going 3-14.
