Oh no, it was a **** show in Dallas today. Micheal Bennett let the team and coaches know about it afterwards.

I **** love Michael Bennett.

He was very about calling out some **** around there... which is a bold move for a guy who's been there 3 seconds. Dallas should cut him so he can come home to Philly tomorrow.

NFC East is now officially the crappiest division in the league. Is it actually possible a losing record could take the division title?

Yep, Panthers won NFC South in 2014 with a losing record

It is, and it is. I dont think it will workout that way, still too many in Div games. 8-8 at worst I reckon.

Just a total **** show
There is no point stepping around the issue, this eagles team is 5-7, deservedly so as this is an objectively bad football team.
They absolutely have no business in the play offs and they wont get there.

Someone is unfortunately going to win the NFC E, but it wont be these Eagles.

Big changes i think coming this off season. I think a new OC and QB's coach... It's a lot of dead money to eat but Jeffery, Agholar and Hollins would be long odds to be back next year. I think they'll go WR in the first round and probably go and try to get someone like Robby Anderson too

Anderson is underrated IMO. That would be a good pickup.

Could be a few coaching opportunities in the East next yr

They've been interested in Robby A at the trade deadline the last 2 years but the jets were chasing high picks.
I think they like him a lot, and they'll see about trying to get him... money could be a problem cap wise, especially if they're eating Jeffery's deal

Has father time just caught up with Jefferey? Or is it more injury based? (TBF, age might be a factor with healing)

Probably a combination of both.
He hasnt been healthy at all since the SB year but at this point there is no reason to think he'll suddenly morph back into a reliable #1 week to week WR. He moves around worse than Jason Witten... just constantly labouring with every step and catch.

Blasphemer! Witten is moving like he did as a rookie... thats to say, he was never athletic. Been on a tredmill his entire career, and will still make the HoF :D

Sounds a little counter-intuitive but I think the ravens need a loss before sudden death, just to reset a little.
Watching the Pats highlights last night, it was a very weird performance from them.

Garrett wont get fired, but you can treat his contract running out as such.

I just found an excel document that I put together earlier in the year ranking the NFL divisions by quarterback. The methodology I used was:
1. Rank the QBs in each division 1-4
2. Rank the 8 top-ranked QBs in each division 1-8, and do the same for QBs ranked 2nd, 3rd and 4th
The rankings were based on which QB I'd want for the 2019 season.

I had Lamar Jackson ranked last in the AFC North, and then last again of all the 4th ranked QBs (so essentially the last ranked starting QB in the league). That is an all-time shocker on my behalf haha

College football playoffs are set:
1. LSU vs 4. Oklahoma
2. Ohio State vs 3. Clemson

My predictions: LSU will blowout OU and Clemson will beat OSU in a tight one... Clemson has had a much softer schedule so I can see them feeling fresher

100% agree
I think LSU will handle OU pretty easily and i think Clemson is the best team in the country and the only reason they arent being considered as such is because the soft schedule.
I might be wrong

But i agree, OSU and Clemson going to the natty, and i think Clemson are going to win it

Monumental shoot out between two of the NFC title contenders with the 49ers downing Saints 48-46.

Not often you score 46 points and lose.
