Talk of teams trading for Harbaugh after the season. Jets and Oakland are being mentioned. Jets seems like a media circus just waiting to happen. Oakland would be a long build, and I think Harbaugh rubs too many players the wrong way by the time the team is able to be good.

Man what is about the AFC North against the worst teams in the league? Cleveland lost to the Jags, Pitt lost to the Jets, now Cincy struggling against the Bucs.

I actually think McNabb is decent at color commentary and will get better with more reps.

Not watching, but I'm going to guess it featured multiple Eli INTs?

If Giants lose to Jags, Coughlin has to be gone after the season-I don't care about loyalty or relationship between owner and head coach.

Crazy end in the Cinci game, they were lucky as shit to escape with a W. No idea how the refs missed 12 men on the field on one of the biggest plays in the game, but thankfully they reviewed it and got it right.

The dumbest play of the game was the choice to onside kick it after taking a 14-10 lead against a team the defense had been handling pretty well most of the game. It nearly cost them this one, and was completely pointless.

Meh

Ownership isn't going to fire him, nor should they because of any one loss. You want to say he should go because of the last 2 years, ok, that is a separate conversation.

I am OK with the loss TBH. This team needs help in a lot of areas and the best way to do that is high picks. Every win they have at this point knocks them lower in the draft. It is a lost season already, so I'll root for them to win, but be OK with the losses.

horrible start by my beloved Cards, looking like they are still reeling from the loss in Seattle. Got very lucky on the Hester punt return, but again why does any team punt to him? Bad luck too on the potential INT as well

That was the point I was gettng at-the last two years all the way to this game where a worse team than them came all the way back to win. Coughlin won't be around age wise as a head coach much longer-you'll need a new coach to deal with all that young talent.

Really question Patriots not going on 4th and 1 at the 50. Beli has gotten a lot more conservative on those calls over the years.

Rashad Johnson probably knows Ryan's twitter password he reads him so well, picked him off twice the last time they played and now this one-

Great Ellington and "Honey Badger" injured.

In years past Belichick took risks like that because of his awful defense. I don't know why'd you go for it in that situation this early in the game. Other than that last horrible TD, the Pats are doing ok and I don't think desperation is needed yet.

Patrick Peterson having one of his bad days sadly-Jones owning him. And I want to know how the refs could say Jones caught that ball in play, and why didn't Arians challenge it-it was very obvious even for me that it wasn't a legal catch.

you go because probability tells you to + Aaron Rodgers.

McDaniels abandoning the run completely is putting nails in the coffin anyway. Can't keep the D on the field this long.

Numbers against Peterson this season: 44 of 74 for 608 yards, 8 TDs, 2 INTs, 110.6 rating.

As taken from a tweet by Bryan Swartz (Bleacher Report writer). Assuming those numbers are true, yeah, elite athlete, not so sure about elite corner. Not sure what his splits are as far as who he's been covering, but if he's shadowing the opposing #1, might be a good idea to stop doing that.

If he hasn't been doing as much shadowing this year, that's even more damning.

Drew Stanton is just plain bad. A shame too, I was actually looking forward to seeing what the Cardinals could accomplish in the playoffs.

All caught up on the Pats-Pack.

Feel like the Pats offense hasn't really gotten in gear. Too many 3rd and medium-longs due to plays going for nothing on first and second down.

Not sure why they waited so long to start pounding the rock - that's seemed to be more effective here in the 2nd half.

And frustrating they haven't been able to get Rodgers off the field in some of the 3rd and longs in the first half. Wayyyy too many long gainers.

Not confident at all - two equal teams.
