As a Bengals fan, you should've seen this coming as soon as we lost to the Steelers. It was a high likelihood.

Based on the playoff scenarios on ESPN it looks like Denver would get home field, and New England the bye, Cinci the 3 seed. All scenarios that would give Cincinnati a bye require Denver to lose and New England has already clinched a bye. |

Jets actively trying to lose the game by throwing in FG range, and Ryan Fitzpatrick, aka the Human Interception Machine, throws a pick.

Boy who picked HOU to make the playoofs after that start, with all the changes at QB, and the Ryan Mallett saga. Many were calling for O'Brien to be fired. I sure was. Good on them to come back from all that mess.

The Chargers defense either gives up 20+ or forces a turnover.

Better than the game earlier with Josh Freeman, Ryan Lindley, Zach Mettengberger and Alex Talley (?) as the four QBs involved
I'm not sure I'd be bringing Russell Wilson or Palmer out after half time unless the Cards get a TD here. Both these coaches have a nasty habit of leaving their starters in too long Last edited by bhlloy : 01-03-2016 at 04:59 PM. |

Man what's with teh Eagles interviewing a bunch of their ex-players as HC candidates? QB Doug Pederson? RB Duce Staley? Dude you can't get the band back together by hiring them as staff.

Oh and I think the Chargers are going to miss Malcom Floyd a lot after he retires. That guy was money at moving the sticks.

Staley was probably just a Rooney Rule interview. I doubt he was seriously considered for the position. Pederson is probably a legitimate candidate.

Jags sucked at the end, but still finished with 2 1000 yard receivers in Hurns and Robinson. This was the first season since 2005 we had a 1000 (Jimmy Smith) and we had two! The last time we had 2 1000 yard receivers was 2001, the final year of the Smith/McCardell era . Then the Jags, desperate for catching, will go through a very, very dark era I like to call roto-receiver where we would draft, sign, and claim off waivers every big name guy, has been or never was to try and light a fire, and none worked (save for one adequate light who was more of a 3rd 4th option we forced into the wrong spot and he never really shone that well as such - Ernest Wilford, and then Mike Sims-Walker who sometimes showed up). Really, if I were to show our the roto-receiver era you'd be shocked.
But here we are, with 2 1000 catchers again! And things are looking up for he offense once more.

Ravens didn't beat Cincy today but Mallett probably played okay enough to be the backup behind Flacco if/when he comes back from his ACL. Glad to see he was given another chance but I'm okay if the Raven's keep him on a tight leash and drop him if he starts acting like a punk again.
Another AR player Darren McFadden does seem to have honestly rejuvenated his career with the 'boys after his disastrous stint with the Raiders. Not sure how many years he has left but the Cowboys scheme seem to fit him. The hometown Falcons played well today but not well enough. Not sure what happened after their great start. |

You Know What? Screw it!
I don;t have anything better to do. Here are the major names, receivers, and more the Jags brought in to ignite the catching spark: Jaguars Roto-Receiver Era 2002 - McCardell has left. We try to go it with just Jimmy Smith, draftees, and TE. Nope. 2003 - We sign Matthew Hatchette, Kevin Johnson from the Browns and JJ Stokes from the 49ers. who won't have more than 260 yards each. We also claim Troy Edwards from waivers 2004 - We also invest a 4th rounder in Ernest Wilford, one of two "hits - and I use that term gently. Troy leaves. 2005 - We invest a high first round pick on Reggie Williams, a major bust. Jimmy Smith Retires. Uh oh. Gotta find more bodies! 2006 - We spend another 1st rounder on soon-to-be-bust Matt Jones. We bring back WR Troy Edwards, because, why not? 2007 - Wanting more catching players, we spend another high 1st on a receiving TE who'll change the field and offense, only to get a blocking specialist TE Marcedes Lewis. We invest a 3rd rounder in Mike Sims-Walker who'll be injured for his whole first year. 2008 - We sign mega-buckes WR Jerry Porter. He'll catch for a mighty 181 yards. 2009 - We sign mega-bucks WR Torry Holt to fill the gap that Porter left behind. 2010 -It doesn't really matter. The WR with the most receiving yards for us this year is....Mike Sims Walker with 562, and then next is Jason Hill with 248. We had signed Jason Hill from the 49ers 2011 - It's worse. Our leading WR are Hill with an astonishing 367 yards and then a 5th rounder from a few years ago you've never heard of and can now promptly forget - Jarrett Dillard with 292 yards. We draft Cecil Shorts in the 4th round. Jack Del Rio is fired 2012 - We trade up to grab WR Justin Blackmon. He finishes with 865 yards, and Shorts has 979. Things are finally looking up for us WR Wise! Mike Mularky goes 2-14 and is fired. Then Blackmon will be suspeced twice and will miss most of the next season and has never returned. THE END OF THE JAGUARS ROTO_RECEIVER ERA!!! Look how sucky! Troy Edwards? Jerry Porter? Kevin Johnson? Hatchette? Stokes? Lots of 1st round misfires? Dang!

To go with the discussion we were having in the 2015 fantasy thread - entering today there were 2 more 1000 yard rushers than there were 1000 yard receiving TE's. I don't think I would ever have called that 5 years ago

I can't recall a situation where a team would be the first or fifth seed depending on the outcome of the last game.

Dammit Chargers.
Pitt it is. With McCarron, I don't see any way the outcome is any different than the last game.

15-1 and home field locked up, I'm glad today was stress free as far as that stuff goes. Its still surreal to see my team at 15-1 going into the playoffs, what a year, three more wins to go!

That was my thought when I heard Staley interviewed. Which...well, I get the spirit of the rule, but the execution of it can be a little crappy at times. Not to say he's not a good coach, I just don't know if you promote from RB coach to HC. I can't say Pederson would exactly thrill me either.

Perhaps depending on what happens in the NFC North division championship game tonight, the NFC wild cards might be the favorites too.

Andy Reid went from position to HC. There have been others I'm sure, but I think Lurie looks back at the Reid hire as pretty good. And Harbough of the Johns was a ST Coordinator, so I'm not sure if that counts either for you.

Should we start a NFL coaching carousel thread?
Both Staley and Pederson seem like classic Flyers-type hires. I'm not entirely sure what we're looking for out of a head coach right now other than someone who can gracefully play go-along get-along with the holiday party scheduling. |

How about them HAMS! Blocked FG and then the 49ers win with a FG.

Nice adjustment by Denver bringing in Manning. I am shocked they got home field but they will need all the help they can get. The Chiefs are probably a team we want to avoid if anyone.

Didn't see the game but saw it posted on SI. On the surface, his stats didn't look that bad? Did Peyton really need to be brought in or was this find any excuse to get him back in as QB? I guess it ultimately worked out though. |
