Figured I’d go ahead and get this going now. Wind forecast seems to be really picking up. Consistent winds between 17-20 MPH during game time & gusts up to 33 MPH, getting strong as the game progresses  I think a 15 mph wind helps the Bills because Allen can throw through that but Lamar...

No game thread for game of the week? Let’s go

Let’s do it

Game of the Year for Baltimore today.  Win and they’re 2.5 games up on Browns (counting the tiebreaker). Lose and they’re essentially a half-game behind. 3-game swing! Also how does Lamar come back from loss and overthrows last week. Is he for real? Brandon Williams out on D Line hurts...

Go

So the winner of the Chargers-Ravens game advances to New England next Sunday at 1. With the red hot #6 Colts going to KC, there’s a chance that the winner of this game hosts the AFC Championship if they knock off the Patriots next week  Colts beat Texans a couple weeks ago, then won again in...

Yeah, I know it's early to start a game thread. In fact, same weeks there seem to be games that go by without any thread at all. But it's the game of the week, involving the intertwined fates of three deeply linked and acrimonious franchises and fan bases.  Will Baker Mayfield stamp the Browns...

I’ll go ahead and start this, though I think it will be pretty empty in here. Kind of like the stands in Baltimore.  Horrible first possessions by both teams tho TB would have had a 60-yard TD if their WR could have handled a perfectly thrown pass. Ravens’ Safeties are a mess

Are game threads not a thing any more? Hate this matchup for the Ravens. Too much Ryan, think Falcons take it 27-16. Good opening drive for Falcons here 

I spent a lot of the Packers-Seahawks NFC Championship steaming over the Ravens' loss to the Patriots the previous week, feeling like Baltimore had blown this year's Super Bowl title by losing in the Divisional Round – that if they had just hung on to win at New England, they would have cruised...

Down to the Final Four. What match-up do you want to see most in the World Series?

It probably won’t happen, but it’s also not entirely impossible that the AFC ends up with five teams tied at 10-6, with one of them taking the #2 seed, while another (very surprising) team misses the playoffs entirely. And based on point spreads, it would probably require just 1 or 2 upsets...

Tom Brady’s career record as a starting QB now stands at 139-39, making him the first QB in NFL history to be 100 games over .500. In fact only 12 QBs in NFL history have even won as many as 100 games! Pretty amazing – it’s the equivalent of going 13-3 for 10 straight seasons. Here are some...

I think it’s cool that there’s a consensus NFL “Team of the Decade” for each of the last 5 decades. 60s: Packers 70s: Steelers 80s: 49ers 90s: Cowboys 00s: Patriots So who’s the front-runner for the Team of the Decade for the 2010s so far? To me, it clearly comes down to the Ravens and...

With today's firing of Mularkey in Jacksonville, 8 coaches have been fired this year. Only 9 coaches have been with their current team for 5+ years, since the start of the 2008 season. Can you name them? Interesting to think that a guy hired 5 years ago now has seniority over 75% of the other...

Not one going yet? I'll start.

Let me start by saying I strongly dislike the new Wild Card in baseball. You work all season to earn that playoff spot, and then you’re tossed into a one-game coin flip, plus you’re at a huge disadvantage moving into the divisional round. Bud Selig loved the excitement of last year’s final...

Seems like Aaron Rodgers has the NFL MVP Award locked up, even with the great season Brees is having. But who is the NFL Defensive Player of the Year? Jared Allen, MIN - 14.5 sacks, 51 tackles, 4 passes defended, 1 INT, 4 Forced Fumbles Von Miller, DEN - 10.5 sacks, 57 tackles, 4 PD, 0 INT, 2...

I'm trying to figure out AFC playoff seeding -- I think this is right. If the Ravens, Texans, and Patriots all finish tied at 13-3, then they'll all be 10-2 in the AFC. Head-to-head won't apply, since they haven't all played each other. And Common Games won't apply, because they don't have four...
