McAdoo was the only HC in the division worse than Garrett, food riddance to that tool.

Sounds like the Giants are blaming Reese and McAdoo for benching Eli and he will start this weekend against Dallas.

DeCosta/McDaniels would be a heck of a partnership if the Giants can pull it off after the season ends.

Giants front office is gonna do whatever it takes to keep Eli happy and a Giant.

Vance Joseph needs to be...

I'd be surprised if DeCosta had interest, especially with all the dysfunction currently going on with the Giants. Pretty much every team in recent years with a GM opening has tried to interview him and he hasn't had any interest. He's already paid like a GM and it seems like he's content waiting for Ozzie Newsome to retire.

I think dysfunction just left the building for the Giants. Should be on reasonably sure footing now. Obviously there's lots of work to be done in terms of keeping certain players, making FA moves, and prepping for the draft, but I think the Giants have finally gotten rid of the real problem. Honestly they need to figure out the GM situation before figuring out their next HC.

[Samus Aran]

I hear the Giants are going to give Geno Smith a shot at both GM and head coach.

[kidkash]

So Eli is back at starter. So this whole thing wasn’t pointless. Haha

Should've fired McAdoo 5 mins before the game on Sunday and start Eli. That would get everyone pumped up.

Any credible team should hire GM before HC. Not always the case though, somehow..

[Tony208]

Giants GM didn't get a good oline to protect his old immobile QB.

Not everyone can loop around in the backfield every play like Russell Wilson.

[imsounoriginal]

Seahawks O-line held up a bit better than usual last night. But yeah, Wilson is Superman. Can make a play out of absolutely nothing.

[Batman1980]

The NFL hopes to decide by Monday if Rob Gronkowski will be suspended for his illegal hit on Bills CB Tre'Davious White.

The NFL usually decides by close of business on Monday. We wouldn't expect any different this time around. Gronk is in real danger of at least a one-game ban after his vicious, unnecessary hit concussed White. He will then likely appeal. Fantasy owners need to be ready for the possibility of Gronk missing Week 14.

Just in Case anyone was wondering.

[Batman1980]

Here comes Aaron Rodgers to throw a wrench into all of that.

[Waboman]

No worries.

Vikes look really good but they had to go all the way down to the fourth-tier tiebreaker to make em #1. Gonna be a really tight race to a finish line in the NFC, I just hope we can bounce back from last night and come out strong against the Rams on Sunday

#1 seed - Minnesota Vikings (10-2, NFC North leader, at #1 due to strength of victory over Philadelphia)
Yes, if the season were to end today, the road to Super Bowl 52 would run entirely through U.S. Bank Stadium. Though the Vikings have the same record as Philadelphia, we have to get down to the fourth tiebreaker to make this distinction. Let’s break things down here.

• Tiebreaker 1 is head-to-head. Obviously, Minnesota and Philadelphia don’t meet in the regular season.
  
• Tiebreaker 2 is conference record. Both Minnesota and Philadelphia are 8-1 against the NFC.
  
• Tiebreaker 3 is “common opponents” with a minimum of four common opponents required. The only teams that both Minnesota and Philadelphia have played are Washington and Chicago. So, we can’t use this one.
  
• Tiebreaker 4 is “strength of victory.” As things stand now, the winning percentage of the teams that Minnesota has beaten (.464) is higher than that of the teams that Philadelphia has beaten (.375). So, that’s where your tie is broken.

[Batman1980]

I figured division record was somewhere in there but we all knew Philly had a weak schedule. We'll see if they hold up now that they're going to hit the meat of their schedule. Still don't know how Wentz will perform in the play-offs, either.

[imsounoriginal]

I'm absolutely confident in Wentz to be able to handle the pressure. Dude's shown nothing but class and professionalism throughout his brief career so far. Team needs to stay hungry and healthy and that starts with their leader, who's more than up to the task.
