I hope Blake Bortles pulls a Joe Flacco and gets hot and leads the Jags to a Superbowl win. It would be a different result and I think it would lead to a fun off season since every big name free agent QB is being linked to Jax at the moment.

Great. Possible hall of famer eroding away in Seattle.

Per Twitter, Ted Thompson will become the Packers' senior advisor to football operations, whatever that means.

That's savage but it does feel like they're trying to politely phase him out. We'll see if the Pack is actually active in free agency for once.

Joe Flacco? Hell, I'd settle for a Trent Dilfer like game manager who doesn't **** things up and let's the defense carry the team.

Sad thing is Philly would likely be around 3-1 if Wentz were playing. That's the difference an elite QB and a journeyman type. From 3-1 down to 15-1 odds.

Yeah but I just think it would be really interesting if he really played well. If he just game managed then even with a superbowl win they could easily justify replacing him. If he played lights out then it would put them in a spot where they had to consider keeping him as the starter.

They could still get another qb to hedge their bets

Yeah but it wouldn't be Brees/Cousins/Garapplo/etc. I just think it would be fun watching it all play out. Highly unlikely I know, but something I would like to see.

Great end for the season for the Niners, looking forward to next season!

Looking at that draft board I am not familiar with Courtland Sutton. In the past I had always hoped they would draft a good receiver in the first round but they are actually in good shape in that position right now. Goodwin and Taylor have a great rapport with Garoppolo. The CB position actually needs shoring up.

Also gotta say as a Niner fan I am loving the Seahawks falling apart. Age, injuries and salary cap is finally catching up to them.

Looking forward to the playoffs with all the new teams in the mix. Won't be surprised if the Pats repeat but it would also be nice to see someone else win one. I don't think anyone else in the AFC is as strong as NE.
NFC is kind of an open field with Wentz being out. Should be a fun postseason!
