    an article on ESPN stated that your back up QB, josh mcCown, was prepared to go in and play WR. he was the next man in line. dude is 40 years old. would have been interesting to see him play WR lol

    The Bears and Jaguars parallels are so spot on, I just hope we don’t completely crash like they have. As for Mitch this article is really spot on, I really like Mitch’s attitude and how he approaches the game which makes me a bit biased in not wanting to move on from him yet despite his poor play this season. I also agree that the last 3 weeks isn’t nearly enough to say he’s turned any corner or something like that. However if we we end up winning out or going 2/3 and Mitch plays at a similar level or better I think he definitely deserves another year to prove himself.

    What is probably more likely is that that we lose 2 out of the next 3 and Mitch plays just OK, in which case we definitely need to at least bring in some competition next season.

    I find it unlikely we move on from him completely even if his play is horrendous these last 3 weeks, as our GM’s job is pretty much tied to Trubiskys success at this point.

    I’m pumped this week for [email protected] like how my Bills have been flexed into a couple Primetime games now lol

    must win for both teams...

    Bills, Steelers, Titans/Texans will be interesting wildcard finish....Bills have @NE, NYJ to end the year...Steelers have @NYJ, @Ravens...Titans have Texans, Saints, @Texans to end the year...

    Steelers vs Bills

    @dna hits vs @Detroit24

    Will the Steelers continue to surprise with a 3rd string QB? Will the Bills defense be too much for Hodges to handle? Who wins this one? Thoughts?

    Steelers are favorite -2

    I like the Bills to pull it off...I think Hodges vs Bills D will be big for Bills, got to force turnovers shorten the field...get pts anyway you can...because Steelers D is on a roll...since that trade they have been solid...Bills offense is up and down, no real big weapons...but steady

    20-17 Bills

    @Detroit24 i agree with you. i think you guys get it done even on the road. Hodges too inexperienced for that tough nosed Bills defense :)

    Eagles vs. Redskins

    @Boos vs. @JB21 & @JMG & @Asmodeus

    last week the Redskins gave the Pack all they could handle. can they upset the Eagles this week? Will the injuries to the Eagles WR's be too much for them to overcome? who wins this one? thoughts?

    I think Redskins pull the upset off in a short week for Philly...don’t worry Dallas will lose too

    @TimmyT what you think of your Vikings going to LA? Playing Chargers...easy W? I think they should handle them...looking forward to Monday nighter vs Packers, should be a good one...the following week

    Can’t wait to be the first 8-7 team with the luxury of sitting our starters for week 17 because we already have the division clinched lmao

    glad you asked. i often ask people about their matchups but they rarely ask me lol.

    i think its gonna be a tough game. i know chargers are having a tough season, but they've got some good pieces. 2 good pass rushers. weapons at WR. rivers isn't having a good year, but he's very experienced. i'm hoping we can run the ball to help slow down bosa and ingram. i think we'll win in a close one, but i won't be surprised one bit if the chargers pull it out

    Lol I do notice that too, you are the nfl commish of this forum

    I agree with your analysis...they have talented pieces...they are so inconsistent though...Rivers is a turnover machine...and they are a week to week team of unpredictability...they have no home field advantage either lol I just see Vikings being much more balance team...and consistent in you know what you get from them...Vikings are desperate to get home field advantage + lock playoff spot...they win out especially with 2 home games at against division rivals...much needed for deep playoff run...could get a bye if they go 3-0 to end the year

    Chargers had Super Bowl projections past 2 years...they lose to the Lions and Broncos twice but then they beat GB, CHI

    If your a NFC wildcard team ideally you want Dallas/Philly road game lol

    They may pull it off but I've gotten to the point this season that I don't care if they win or lose if I'm being honest, all hope is lost for this team and it's kills me to say.

    Yes, Skins are playing better football than the Eagles right now. We have a lot of young guys balling out right now to secure a spot next year. Eagles are just lost. Haskins has his breakout game this week and Skins win 35-17.

    yeah, the chargers have been up and down all season long, i know what you mean. hopefully we can travel out west and get it done. adam thielen is likely to return on sunday. this should help us a great deal if he's back to normal health. he's been our most consistent guy on offense for the 2 seasons prior to the current season.

    of course i'm hoping we win out, but we need to at least win 2 of our last 3 games to really help our playoff chances. we don't have a playoff spot locked up yet and the bears and rams just keep on fighting
