No one is giving up a couple of 1st round picks for Tua or even 1.

I'm sure it was "mutual" in some sense. But the bottom line is that if Goodell wanted to play the game and Governor didn't want it to happen, Governor wins that argument. So there is no point in fighting it, especially when it's the safer thing to do. NFL's only decision at that point is...

It's not the NFL's call. The NY governor effectively said there will be no game in Buffalo tomorrow.

NY state government banned driving, so they really can't have a game. Teams can't even get to the stadium. NFL absolutely could have the game at a different venue (but at the same time) and there are contingency plans for that. However, they chose to change the date instead.

I'm tired of it too, but I am also a realist. These guys aren't winning a SB with Tua. I'd rather trade Tua for whatever we can get maybe trick Russell Wilson in to signing at a bit of a discount to get another ring, and give him two years. There are a lot of problems with that plan, but it...

Yeah this. I normally use Gardner Minshew when I want to make this point, but Baker is good too.

I actually think it explains it perfectly. Putting your worst QB out there tells everyone you're giving up. If your team is giving up, then why would you, as a defensive player, bother to try.

They might as well have called it that long before this year.

I think that Wilson is an average 3rd receiver. Claypool, Chosen, and Berrios are also all about WR3 level. Not a lot of teams have a really good WR3, or someone else would lure them away for more money and playing time. What we have at WR3 is fine, imo. Of oourse, if Waddle is out that...

I think there is a decent case to be made for SF to just tank this one. Just play very vanilla and pull your starters early. This is your most likely superbowl opponent. Don't give them a preview of what they are going to face. SF can afford to lose one anyway, and a light week wouldn't be...

So if we lose out, what's the chance we're still in the playoffs. Most likely still in, right?

Thanks. That's exactly what I was afraid of.

Someone looks like they got taken off by cart in SF-AZ. Anyone know who that was?

So does pretty much everyone else, I think.

Jets are more likely to cover 9 than the Dolphins, imo.
