If only they put as much thought into improving the game.

New rule: unless an infraction is egregious to the point that not calling it would qualify you as legally blind, or the infraction demonstrably affected the outcome of the play, it doesn't need to be flagged. Let these guys play.

I don’t disagree, but the problem is that fans freak out when flags aren’t thrown as well. If there’s a big run play, for example, social media explodes with fans saying the officials missed a hold. With HD cameras, everything is so visible to fans.

Honestly, I'd take looser (not even necessarily better) officiating over an extra game or two, or an extra bye week. If the league's smart, they'll understand that their product is fundamentally an entertainment one. Stopping the game in its tracks every few seconds for ticky-tack calls adversely affects how entertaining their product is. (Like, there's holding on every play, but we're stuck at the mercy of whenever the refs happen to see it.)

Brock Osweiler announced his retirement.

"I have my health. I have the ring. There's a lot of things I still wanted to accomplish. And I have a lot more left in the tank. But, hey, sometimes you don't get that opportunity. And given that, it's all good."

imsounoriginal · 10-17-2019, 01:08 AM

He's got a ton of money too, so good for him.

The Sam Bradford of backup QBs. Was able to collect over 40m after getting a few wins on a loaded team.

West E · 10-17-2019, 02:52 AM

Glad Oakland gave Darren Waller an extension. $9m per year.
He’s been incredible

now, there is a difference between being a starting qb and getting paid a ton of money.

i wouldn’t say he’s worth 15 million a year. but to act like he hasn’t already been a better quarterback than tannehill in his short career is crazy.

Let me clarify - I like weekday games. The players do not. That's why I said I could see it being done away with if players speak up at the next CBA.

OR

Like Rage said, make it correspond to their bye weeks.

imsounoriginal · 10-17-2019, 04:59 PM

Only way I'd be OK with eliminating TNF is if they give us two games on MNF.

Batman1980 · 10-17-2019, 05:45 PM

Double MNF games works for me, like we have in week 1. 1 in late afternoon, 1 in early evening, just keep the early evening ones off the east coast.

Samus Aran · 10-17-2019, 09:03 PM

Look back at the Jets and Luke Falk, when was the last time a QB started a game and was waived before the next game?

Eschenpod · 10-17-2019, 09:17 PM

Dolphins shopping Kenyan Drake.

Shame he’s in division. Drake is definitely a player we would be interested in if he hits free agency.

KC D is punishing Flacco.

Batman1980 · 10-18-2019, 01:59 AM

Mahomes is why you don't run a QB sneak using a QB with a bad leg.
