Ross isn't involved like that. He gives opinions but he's very much a "I let the football people make football decisions" owner.

I think it's probably more stupid rear end, "we just like fitz' body language in the huddle"



edit: also I think Fitzmagic in the fourth quarter last week made Flores believe he's still the best option to win games, which is what the coaches are trying to do.

Imo it's actually because the bills defense is too good.

You don't want to shatter what's left of rosens confidence after he was already putrid last week. And even if you only want Rosen to be trade bait you're better off not exposing him against defenses that will eat him alive. Let him develop and or look good against the more manageable teams.

We just discovered in the AFC East thread that if you are sick of penalties and want the refs to cut that poo poo out, you need to be watching... the Dolphins.

They've been called for HALF as many penalties as the Browns or Falcons (28), and have benefitted from the least penalties as well, 33, with the Titans having had 56 benefit them.

Good, fundamental football there folks.

I like the Marcus Peters signing. Kenny Young wasn't really important and our secondary loving sucks this year, so what if he sucks too.

And let's not pretend "well where the hell will he play since we got Humphrey and Smith" because as much as Jimmy Smith has been owning the last couple of years, dude's made of loving wet paper.

Also Peters leads the NFL on interceptions and returned interception yards by a pretty big margin since he started playing in the league. I know he also misses lots of plays and gets burnt terribly because of that ball hawk attitude but I dunno, I think I just like watching the guy ever since the Chiefs drafted him.

17 is just a wrong number.

The NFL needs to sell the product better. They have how many games going on at 1PM that most people don't get a chance to watch? Why not moves those to a different time slot - or heaven forbid - add another bye week and spread them out even more. I mean there are literally a zillion better ways to get more product visible and add value than just adding another game.

I gotta agree with this, even though the game has been sucking for some years I find it kinda annoying that you have to choose so much what few games you will watch in a sport whose season has only 17 weeks.

Unless you watch RedZone all the time, which is something I suspect lots of people here do, but I personally don't have this option.

It won't happen because the networks would never get together on it, but a college football red zone would be absolutely amazing.

ESPN has goalline I guess but that only get the games ESPN has the rights to.

Like, I want a channel that will automatically take me away from some Big 10 game and show me New Mexico/New Mexico State when something funny is about to happen.

You have one SNF game, MNF, and TNF. That leaves 13 possible. Then the London AM game. So why are the remaining 12 not split between 1 and 4pm slots?

Because the NFL is dumb and thinks the 4pm time slot is a prime time slot.

They should let networks get more aggressive about flexing then. We should have at least 4 afternoon games, if they want the slot to carry some prestige let networks pick the games

The Cardinals own now. And I would also like to laugh at whoever mocked me for originally suggesting that the Cardinals should drop Rosen and take Murray. That was a long time ago but I DON'T forget


Playing against the Falcons is a nearly foolproof way to win offensive player of the week. Watch Goff get it next week after making GBS threads the bed against the niners

I watch the games I missed on Gamepass throughout the week, kind of making my own sane scheduling out of something that makes no sense. Every week I skip certain games, like this week I won't be watching Washington/Dolphins, Broncos/Titans and Saints Jaguars because I don't hate myself that much yet

For pedantry's sake, note that from week 4 through week 12 it will be less than 12 due to bye weeks (low of 9 games, more usually 10 during this period).

But seriously, it should be more college style (times Eastern):

10am
1pm
4pm
7pm
10pm

So each coast gets one game they won't bother watching and anyone who wants to can watch football literally all day.

Have one stadium, then play one game after another in the stadium, never a break in the action. After all the teams play once, they all immediately play again. Repeat forever.

On Sundays just kick off two games every hour one on each CBS / FOX and just let them aggressively cut between them as the situation warrants when your home team isn't playing.
