2020-2021 NFL Season Thread

Wildcard weekend is looking really good. I’d say a lot of these teams can swing either way, being they’re fairly evenly matched. I’m personally looking forward to the Bears -versus- Saints game.
 
Thank god Gase is gone, the end of an error.... That was such a horrible hire. I know the Jets need a lot of work but getting a new competent coaching staff is certainly a good start.

Gase isn't the greatest HC, but the Jets have a crapload of other issues that his firing won't solve.

yeah absolutely, its a total dumpster fire right now and to be honest I don't know if it will ever be completely fixed until the owners sell the team. But it seems like the new GM Joe Douglas knows what he's doing, if the owners can stay out of the way, they might be at least respectable again.

My picks for the Wildcard round...

Bills over the Colts
Seahawks over the Rams
Buccaneers over the Redskins
Ravens over the Titans
Saints over the Bears
Steelers over the Browns
 
Bummer, that’s it for the Seahawks. After their first loss in the season it was a constant up and down. Same today, just too many mistakes. Well, maybe next year.

Rams gonna be out next game too. Too many injuries.

Hope the Steelers and Packers are gonna make it.

Sh!tty ownership is usually a sports team cancer.

Great sports franchises are owned by great people. They're the ones who write the checks.

The SF 49ers have never shown the same brilliance since Eddie DeBartolo, Jr. sold his interest to his sister. By all accounts, Dr. John York and Denise DeBartolo York are wonderful people and they are great philanthropists. Their idiot son 'Jed' tried to be Mr. CEO but he failed miserably and the word on the street is that his parents yanked back on the leash *HARD*. Today the ownership is mostly benevolent and silent. GM John Lynch makes the day-to-day football decisions and the Yorks stay out of the way.

Still I have serious doubts about the current ownership's ability to create and maintain a perennial contender.

Not surprising with the Seahawks, they’re overrated as they are every year. Congrats to the Rams, I think a lot of people weren’t predicting them to get this far.

As is so typical team turnovers determined Seattle's fate today (LAR 0 - 2 SEA).

The Seahawks have a solid roster, they will be contenders again next year.
 
Seattle was doing better moving toward the wrong goal line. The pick-6 was the turning point. Wilson should not have thrown that pass.

Refs really blew some calls, even reviewed plays, in the first two games.
 
I don’t know where these podcasts get their confidence, some of them are saying the Rams are going to beat the Packers in Lambeau. Now, last year my gambling skills sucked 😁, but there’s no way I see the Rams coming into a colder climate and one of the most difficult stadiums to play in and defeat a team that’s been on fire pretty much the whole season?

I’ve got the Packers winning this one, with a pointspread of less than 12.
 
Ok, before we get too far into the divisional playoffs, I want to put out my Super Bowl prediction out now:

{Chiefs V.S. G.B.}—> with the Chiefs winning with a point spread of over ~13 pts.

Also, that’s taking into account if both teams can stay healthy enough to reach the Super Bowl without injury And I realize it’s a bit premature to rank these two teams quite yet without seeing performances on Saturday/Sunday, but that’s my ideal Super Bowl that should be equally competitive on both the offense/defense, with the coaching experience to Andy Reid with a Super Bowl from 2020.

Also, I would rank Patrick Mahomes and Aaron Rodgers thee two best quarterbacks in the NFL, with the veteran to Rogers, (even though he has one of the worst attitudes in the NFL).

Should be interesting.....
