NBC out here doing flex games

 

[Marc the Habs Fan]

Thank god.

Rams would have murdered the 49ers on SNF.

 

[Taro Tsujimoto]

Eagles considering a reunion with McCoy?

 

[What the Faulk]

I'm torn. McCoy (and Bell) is my HF Canes FF RB and I desperately need help there, but I don't want the Eagles to get better.

McCoy is in his 10th year in the NFL. Nearing the end of the road for RBs typically. Unless it's a day 2 draft pick, I think it would be better for Buffalo to keep Shady to take the pressure off Allen. This season for the Bills is all about developing their QB. Record doesn't matter. Bills also have something like $50 million in dead cap space this year, so they should have plenty of cash to upgrade the team in the off-season. So, an extra late 3rd round pick in the 80's is that worth it to take away the safety valve for Allen?

Well, they still have Chris Ivory, who isn't nearly the same player, but he's a bit better than most backups. McCoy will also be a UFA after 2019 so he's probably not gonna be around that much longer anyway. The Bills need talent everywhere on offense, so it makes sense to keep him, but they could use the 3rd rounder to replace him as well. I don't think they'd accept much later than a 3rd, though.

This was going to happen evee since Garoppolo went down.

 

[Marc the Habs Fan]

 

[What the Faulk]

Guess they're worried about Fournette. Grant hit IR, but they wouldn't do this if they weren't worried.

 

[What the Faulk]

I don't dislike many ex-Panthers, but Mitchell is one of them

 

[Say Hey Kid]

Darren Sproles has more all purpose yards than Faulk.

Too bad MNF doesn’t have the flex option. SF at GB..... sigh...

But fully understand the logistics. Moving 2 games by 4 hours each is way different than over 30 hours

 

[rangerssharks414]

First flex



Makes sense

I didn't know that they were allowed to flex games this early.

Monday Night Football doesn't matter anymore. Green Bay ain't that good.

 

[What the Faulk]

Yeah, they changed it a few years back so that it starts in Week 5, but they're only allowed to do it twice for some reason between Weeks 5 and 10

NFL Flexible Scheduling

This. Sunday Night is the new Monday Night, essentially.

theathletic has pretty interesting series 'the worst team i ever covered'. some more on-field, some more off-field but mostly both. wish they had gone bit more in-depth though.

they had these teams. college football will be on friday.

• 1990 Denver Broncos (Adam Schefter)
• 1994 Dallas Cowboys (Dale Hansen)
• 2000 & 2001 San Diego Chargers (Jim Trotter)
• 2003 New York Giants (Tara Sullivan)
• 2010 Denver Broncos (Lindsay Jones)
• 2012 New York Jets (Kimberley A. Martin)
• 2012 Philadelphia Eagles (Les Bowen)
• 2016 Jacksonville Jaguars (Ryan O’Halloran)
• 2017 Indianapolis Colts (Stephen Holder)

 

[What the Faulk]

Don't remember if Joe Person was around during 2010, but I'd love to hear stories about those Panthers and Jimmy Clausen

 

[Big Poppa Puck]

I bet most Vikings reporters would say 2010. So much drama. Favre, Moss, Childress and his feuds with them and Percy Harvin, among others, then his firing, Tuesday night football starring Joe Webb. Ended up 6-10.


Edit: And how could I forget the Metrodome roof collapsing and playing a home game in Detroit on a Monday in a game in which Favre's streak was broken. Only for him to come back week later and have his career ended for good on a frozen TCF Bank stadiun turf .

 

[Hasbro]

1990 Denver Broncos (Adam Schefter)

Dan Reeves inherited Tom Landry's blind eye. Insult to injury he overlooked mayhem from untalented players. Schef is too generous to Gerald Perry's on field ability.

Wade Phillips deserves credit for cleaning up that team.

2010 Denver Broncos (Lindsay Jones)

McDaniels last season. What a train wreck.

Childress ruining the Moss return was the worst part of that season for me and Harvin getting pissed off and reportedly throwing a weight at Childress was the best part.

 

[Say Hey Kid]

There is one cameraman whose sole job is to shoot OBJ on the sidelines.

 

[tony d]

Yeah that 49ers/Packers game on Monday will be bad. Aaron vs. C.J. Could be a big win for the Packers.

Didn't it collapse from too much snow on the roof?
