It would be nice if Steelers got eliminated bur that doesn’t look like it will happen. In the end it doesn’t matter because a lot of things would have to go our way if we lose. Just win against jags.

By God Baker is awful... Or we gonna say this is his hurt shoulder?! 

[RollerColt]

9 straight incompletions is ridiculously bad. And people are trashing Wentz. Carson had a rough game but it wasn’t this bad…

Anyone know what the made the NFC/AFC, FOX/CBS switch happen?

On CBS is the Bears/Giants game.   2 NFC teams.   FOX usually has the NFC.

On FOX is the Colts/Raiders game.  2 AFC teams.  CBS usually has the AFC.

 

This has been taking place for several years. I remember a  Vikings/Bears game on CBS 7 years or so ago. 

 

I found this:

That changed entering the 2014 season, as the league began “cross flexing” games between the two networks after Week 5, allowing CBS to air two NFC games and vice versa to balance out the television schedule.

Why doesn't Chubb get more chances?!

[NFLfan]

Chris Berman said that he wishes that yesterday was not the last time they see Russell Wilson and Pete Carroll in Seattle.

 

What is he referring to? Is Seattle supposed to move on from both?

[NFLfan]

What teams are expected to have new head coaches in the fall of 2022?

 

For sure:

Raiders

Jaguars

 

Maybe:

Chicago

Pittsburgh 

Denver

Minnesota  (I hate changing coaches and GMs)

Seattle???

 

Sleeper: Carolina

 

Thoughts??

Seattle really needs to move on from Carroll but I don’t think they will 

[DEColtsLover36]

Man Watt sure is chatty tonight  

[Nesjan3]

welp if the Steelers go on to win, the only scenario the Colts make if we lose to the Jags is if the Steelers and Ravens tie.

[Gramz]

Anyone else watching Peyton and Eli?

 

Snoop was a hoot!

 

Aaron Rodgers up next

From the Vikings site:

 

Quote

La Canfora says that league sources have confirmed that the Vikings, along with the Bears and Broncos, are preparing to search for a new head coach, and that the coaching staffs within those organizations are bracing for the possibility of being elsewhere next season.

Good - I don't even want to entertain the possibility of losing to the Jags and still making the playoffs, and after tonight, we don't have to.

[NFLfan]

@The Old Crow The Vikings will be searching for a new head coach. Some Vikings fans have mentioned the Ravens ST Coach Chris Horton as a good candidate. What are your thoughts on him? Thank you.

Who do you want?

I don't know but this guy from the Ravens sounds like he may be promising. He has coached under John Harbaugh for a few years, he comes from a well run organization, his STs are highly rated, and it is someone new (not a retread). I will have to do more research on him. 

 

I just read up on him. I had not known anything about him. He may not have enough experience coaching.

I want a coach like John Harbaugh. He represents his team well, he wins, he is respected, he gets along well with players, he plays all players -- not just vets, he takes chances that others wouldn't. I just like him a lot.

No doubt John is one of the best in the NFL. He keeps the Ravens relevant despite massive roster churn 

[Myles]

The Jags now have more incentive to beat the Colts.    They can put us out of the playoffs.   Oh boy, this may be a tough game to win.
