I don't think the Ravens are a Super Bowl team, but I'm glad they're in the AFC.

Falcons-Vikings is worth tuning into. Coming down to the wire.

I still think the Lions at their best are better than the Hawks at their best. Two bad turnovers from winning by double digits and then likely a coin toss from winning anyway.

Meanwhile the Bears have turned over the ball five times against the Saints. On the bright side they have Montez Sweat for the next four years.

Ben Johnson just called a second down run play in his kid’s flag football game. TP is in that game thread.

Who woulda thought two years ago that we’d be featured prominently in THIS promo at the bye? v12044gd0000cl2f0cfog65i2epd6qng.mp4

For all the talk of being upset at the Lions for prioritizing culture over a deadline upgrade, at least we aren’t dealing with this.

Flint and Dearborn were in on it too?? Man this does run deep.

I agree. I also think we should take some time and enjoy this though. Best team in the North by what feels like a fairly wide margin, probably the youngest very good team in the NFL, and not only a legitimate Super Bowl threat, but also a threat to make this success sustainable. Even when the Lions were good in recent past years, it felt like it was talent they had lucked into (Stafford, Calvin, and Suh), surrounded by band aids and patchwork. This feels like a real team. And the Packers are 2-5.

With that error, the Diamondbacks are virtually guaranteed to score at least one in the bottom of the 9th. That's just baseball.

I feel for Rangers fans after what happened in 2011. They deserve one.

Instead of Pats assistants, they should hire Senior Defensive Assistants with head coaching experience from the Eagles..... Would be a shame if an NFC team hired a head coach from that position.......

If this is what this place is like at 6-2, I shudder to think what it would have historically been like at 0-11-1.

Ultimately, while Holmes has not been perfect, he hasn’t given us reason to doubt him. He’s masterfully turned complete garbage into gold in just over two years. I would rather us stand pat than add the wrong piece, and if that’s the way he saw it, so be it. I do think we are still good enough to beat any team on any given Sunday.

Herbert is plagued by bad coaching. I think he could be among the Burrow/Allen/Mahomes discussion if he was setup for success better.

Live by The Plan, die by The Plan.

It’s a 3rd going from the Niners to the Commies.

This is one I’ll worry will bite us in the ass for not doing ourselves.

Young to the Niners. Grr.

I’m terrified. /s

GM and HC know they can't sell another rebuild. They are supposed to be winning if they want to be employed next year. The next regime won't appreciate though I'm sure.

At the end of the day 6-2 is 6-2. No complaining about that. I would love to see it all come together like it did down the stretch last year. Let's play our best football when it counts the most.
