Penalties are out of hand because there are too many stupid rules.

Evidently not that big of a problem to deter viewers, across the board.

I'm still a big fan and will watch despite all the baggage that it comes with.

True but for those that watch, some games can become an absolute drag.

Penalties are destroying the game, and more specifically, when the penalties are obviously being used to regulate how close a game is. The first quarter of that Chiefs/Rams game was brutal.

Yup, I have no doubt wild card weekend will be full of penalties designed to make the games more interesting than they should be.

Minor price to pay for the overall satisfaction. Since yellow laundry will always be a part of the game, I’ve gotten used to it.
Also it’s a good time to grab another beverage.

You should be more worried than anyone, Seattle tends to get lucky in primetime.

Unless they pass......

[Batman1980]

I am, I'm 90% convinced we lose this game, especially since we simply can't score TDs against Seattle's defense. Our defense could well hold Seattle to 14- points and we still lose the game. Having a kicker who struggles with short distances worries me as well. My plan this week would be to go for it on 4th down every time inside the 40.

^ And they have Devin Bush being drafted... twice

[imsounoriginal]

Was so confused for a second thinking "didn't Josh Allen get drafted last year?" lol

[BizCat]

Detroit needs to send Stafford to the Giants for that #6 spot..

[imsounoriginal]

Eli might have to force their hand. If the Giants aren't gonna commit to him but aren't gonna draft anyone either, then if Eli retires they'll be forced to go get someone. Otherwise they'll tread water for one more year waiting for a better draft class (and at that point, after two disappointing seasons, probably a new HC too).

I'm just wishful thinking of a team with Dwayne Haskins + Ed Oliver.

Buffalo picks #9.

[El Rey]

James Harrison and Antonio Brown posted a short video stating that they will be posting an interview after Tomlin gives his end of season press conference. This should be good.
Kittle continues to make overtures to AB via social media too.

Why would there be NFL games on a Wednesday?
