Let's talk turkey! Or at least some Thanksgiving games...

An interesting side-note after Brock Osweiler looked decent against the Bears last week. Osweiler is a fourth-year pro heading into unrestricted free agency.

If Jimmy Clausen can get snapped up minutes after his release, a quarterback with a real shot at being someone could get an 8-figure contract with relatively little experience.

Matt Flynn got $10 million guaranteed from the Seahawks based on less than 150 attempts worth of work. Unless he falls flat on his face Osweiler going to be looking at a lot of money this offseason.

Charlie Whitehurst and Kevin Kolb agree with your sentiments.

I wonder how many times teams are going to get burned paying big for a guy with limited snaps? I remember when Buffalo got Rob Johnson from the Jaguars.

Rob Johnson (American football) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Quote:

On February 14, 1998, the Jaguars traded Johnson to the Buffalo Bills in exchange for the Bills' first and fourth round picks in the 1998 NFL Draft. Johnson was immediately named the starting quarterback after signing a five-year, $25 million contract with the team. First-year Bills' head coach Wade Phillips proclaimed Johnson's arrival as the start of a "new era" for the franchise.

I'm sure Cleveland will be all in on Osweiler, if he makes it to free agency.

EagleFan · 11-26-2015, 08:03 AM

I hate that I will end up watching the Eagles today. They are a dumpster fire. Players are starting to come out against the coach, there is one that has said he is milking an injury because he doesn't want to play for Chip Kelly again and it sounds like the locker room is starting to get divided into Chip Kelly supporters and Chip Kelly detractors.

I would have liked to see what he could have done as JUST the coach. He is a failure as a GM. His offense was fun to watch when it had play makers like McCoy, Jackson and Maclin but now has nothing close to that.

I HATE that I actually said to someone yesterday that I wish they had Tebow back; it would at least make the sports talk radio entertaining instead of depressing.

Okay, minor rant is over.

bhlloy · 11-26-2015, 01:37 PM

Nothing says "getting fired on the weekend" like getting blown out by the Lions on thanksgiving. Eagles are an absolute disaster and Chip seems to have no grasp of basic NFL strategy - like leaving a rookie no name CB on Calvin Johnson with zero help might not be the best idea

The only bright side is I am hoping Chip lands on his feet at USC.

I kinda wonder if he is trying to get fired? Walk away from the Eagles with a huge amount of cash, then go back to the college game and become one of the highest paid coaches in the country.

MrBug708 · 11-26-2015, 01:52 PM

I'd like Chip to just come out and say that he wants to coach the Titans

I'm not sure anyone wants to coach the Titans.

I can't imagine Chip not wanting to coach Mariota again

That is probably part of the "grass is always greener on the other side". He's probably found the NFL is chock full of its own unique headaches.

wustin · 11-26-2015, 02:41 PM

Time to start any quarterback and receiver(s) against the eagles from now on...

EagleFan · 11-26-2015, 02:48 PM

Glad I ate before watching that.

Kelly should not be allowed on the flight back home.

stevew · 11-26-2015, 05:12 PM

Welp, here is another team looking forward to the draft.

Radii · 11-26-2015, 05:58 PM

Ugh, romo down

JPhillips · 11-26-2015, 06:00 PM

So the Giants have to win the NFC East, right?

stevew · 11-26-2015, 06:03 PM

Pretty sure Carolina is good enough to win it all

bhlloy · 11-26-2015, 06:04 PM

Damn, Romo clearly wasn't ready to come back. That was a really ordinary looking hit he took

Still a bit early for that. It'll point that way if the Giants beat Washington on Sunday. They'll have a 2 game lead with 5 to play.

stevew · 11-26-2015, 06:31 PM

Cam Newton looks like a superhero in this get up.

That'd likely do it especially since it would mean a sweep of Washington. The Giants do have a much tougher schedule the rest of the way with Minnesota and Carolina still to play if it gets/stays close between the two.

Radii · 11-26-2015, 06:46 PM

11-0!!! 14 yards rushing for Washington last week, 31 for Dallas this week.

NobodyHere · 11-26-2015, 06:48 PM

What are the odds of Chi-GB actually being a game tonight?

I dunno, the dude got a full speed crunch on him. I didn't think he would get hurt but I'm not exactly shocked he did. A bigger guy would have murdered him

Julio Riddols · 11-26-2015, 07:27 PM

If Romo's collarbone was actually broken in 6 places, then it was crazy to put him back on the field this season anyway.

Coach forgot to right-click his injury status before plugging him back in to the line-up....happens.

NobodyHere · 11-26-2015, 09:30 PM

I think that was the only time I've ever seen an offense get called for offsides.

ColtCrazy · 11-26-2015, 10:13 PM

Packers are an impossible team to figure out. Look otherworldly sometimes and completely lackadaisical others.

NobodyHere · 11-26-2015, 10:47 PM

And the Bears beat the Packers.

I'm just happy there was at least 1 entertaining game today.

Just hope they play more video games.

Packers had players-only meeting, apparently over excessive video games | ProFootballTalk

stevew · 11-27-2015, 10:54 AM

It's probably a bit too early to think about a battle of 18-0 teams for the super bowl, but I do hope it happens

bronconick · 11-27-2015, 11:37 AM

This mustache is the best showing the Eagles had yesterday

Not a chance this Patriots team goes undefeated. So many injuries on offense, and if we sneak out a win in Denver this weekend we'll basically have the division and a first round bye clinched.

Mizzou B-ball fan · 11-29-2015, 10:42 AM

Spencer Ware, KC's 4th string RB at the start of the year, will start for the Chiefs today. We'll see how he builds on his nearly 100 yard game with two touchdowns last week.

And how far in the doghouse is Knile Davis at this point? Guy must have really f'd up.

Mizzou B-ball fan · 11-29-2015, 01:17 PM

If they don't start calling the push-offs on Sammy Watkins, it's going to be a long day at the office for the Chiefs defense.

bhlloy · 11-29-2015, 01:56 PM

Somebody needs to tell Bortles he can't throw the ball past the line of scrimmage, he's embarrassing himself

Mizzou B-ball fan · 11-29-2015, 01:59 PM

Chiefs were smart enough to adjust. Maclin is pushing off now as well.

NobodyHere · 11-29-2015, 03:49 PM

The Colts QB situation is lending strong credence to the Patrick Ewing Theory.

JPhillips · 11-29-2015, 04:35 PM

Why are the Seahawks tapping their wrists after every big play?
