Its rebuild time for the Hawks. After this season I think its time to trade russ for 3 first rounders and for Pete to retire.

Was surprised, but not shocked to hear most of guys on my fav sports talk pick the Bills over the Chiefs. First time this season, local sports talk see the Chiefs losing.

Hopefully, Reid + Mahomes + Arrowhead will keep us close and give us a chance to win in the end.

Good luck to you on Sunday. Don’t think it’s the last time we’ll be playing this season.

whoa trade Russ? Pete retire? I can't believe I am having to give a Seahawks fan a pep talk. I don't think you guys are that bad, Russ and receivers look great, looks like you need a steady run game. But yeah that defense looks far from its glory days. Don't think you guys have to go full rebuild mode. But yeah the division is stacked right now and there is just no room for error.

Jon Gruden is a jerk, who knew?

[El Rey]

Jimmy out and Trey to start this Sunday vs. ARI, Kittle doubtful but Williams cleared to play. Have a feeling this may be a tough one to watch

Russell Wilson had surgery on the ruptured tendon in the middle finger of his right hand, out 4-8 weeks

I'd love to see that, but that's if Z comes back this season. Supposedly the Packers are already not expecting him to return this season.

And beyond that, so much to speculate given the cap issues they're gonna have next season. <sigh>

How can the NFL go after Gruden for something he said in an email 10 years ago while working for ESPN?

[Batman1980]

Because he's scum.

Id rather be bad than average. Being average in todays NFL is the worst fate.

Passed out a little too early last night and now wide awake with still 5.5 hours until game time.

Bills, baby, Bills!

I get that, when you are bad its expected but when you are middling it is frustrating. You guys haven't really had it bad in a while though. The post Harbaugh years here were tough, all those different terrible coaches, terrible front office and ownership meddling. But for you guys, I think Pete will never be fired, it will be up to him when he wants to retire. Kind of think Russ is a lifer too, unless his offseason complaints aren't really settled this year and still remain.

Jets 49 yrd FG with 22 secs left wins OVER 45 & +9 teasers.

Sweet.

My wife said “now I’m finally understanding why you always say its tough being a Raiders fan”.

There’s always something to mess with the good vibes

I really enjoyed the Harbaugh years even up to the end, but York turned me off to watching Niners games.

Only thing that Harbaugh did wrong, with hindsight, was going Kaep over Alex
But York chose Baalke over Harbaugh back then. Took three other coaches and several losing years before he learned stop meddling and made the right hires

Agree there. I realize Harbaugh stayed with the hot hand after Smith's injury, but I wasn't convinced Kaep was the long-term answer. But it was still fun to watch him for that time while Harbaugh was still there, even after Kaep single-handedly stomped on my team.

it was very exciting to watch until the opposing defenses figured him out

Man this CIN-GB game!
