NFL: 2018 NFL News & Notes discussion thread

The 4-5 Eagles have several DBs injured (Darby is out for the year) and are @ the Saints and they have to play @ the Rams. The 4-5 Cowboys are @ the Falcons so they are in a better position at the moment.

Baker Mayfield should star in the Top Gun remake, because he's in the Danger Zone. The Browns have the 11th pick and the Titans are out of the playoffs at the moment. The Bengals have the tiebreaker. They have a better conference record (3-2) than the Titans (3-4).

Dallas should win the division. Helps they have a road win

The Cowboys need to win the division to get in. Wild card gets tough. Not just because of getting enough wins but because they aren't doing well in the head to head tiebreaker against probably wild card candidates.

 

[Halladay]

I think Washington wins it. They already played the Saints. Their toughest game left is this Sunday against the Texans.

Yeah, multiple injuries to 1 group will kill a team. Especially for extended periods of time.

I love Dion Lewis' comments. They're funny and true. Name one free agent RB that Belicick has ever paid well.

I'm sure a QB (such as Brees (1 INT!), Goff, Mahomes, or Rivers) will win the MVP, but I like Gurley.

No reason to play that game in Mexico City. Could you imagine if Mahomes or Gurley blew out an ACL on that crap field?

 

[PanthersPens62]

Move the game to LA where it belongs.

 

[Roboturner913]

Yeah, but can they have that game in Los Angeles right now? If nothing else, the air quality is supposed to be something like 200 points above dangerous.

 

[Quid Pro Clowe]

Move it to Cheyenne Wyoming where it belongs.

Didn't seem to be a problem Sunday.

Is Eli a Hall of Famer?

 

[GKJ]

Game is being moved to LA.

 

[PanthersPens62]

Good move by the NFL. I really do not understand how the people who run Azteca Stadium could allow something like this to happen. They knew when this game was going to be played ages ago......did they not think about making sure they did not do anything to risk losing it they way they did? I mean it's not the 1st time they have hosted an NFL game so they should have been aware of all the do's & don'ts to make sure nothing like this would jeopardize the game.

 

[Marc the Habs Fan]

I expect at least 20,000 Chiefs fans there.

[David Suzuki]

Andy Reid must have had inside sources since he didn't move the team to practice on higher altitude.

 

[Shockmaster]

NFL does the right thing.......

Does not compute.......

 

[rangerssharks414]

Is Eli a Hall of Famer?

NFL: - If Eli Manning retired today, would you give him a Hall of Fame vote?

 

[Roboturner913]

The only reason anybody ever mentions Eli as a possible HOFer is because he has two rings, which to me is the best argument against QBs being judged on their rings.

Eli's career completion percentage is barely above 60%. His career passer rating is 84. He led the league in interceptions three times.

And if you're into the whole "wins are a good measure of a QB" thing, his W-L % as a QB is only three games over .500.

If not for the two Super Bowls, he'd be Andy Dalton.

 

[Preds Partisan]

Generationally good decision by the NFL to move the game.

 

[Roboturner913]

correction: If not for the two Super Bowls + playing in New York
