No more touchdown-commercial-kickoff-commercial sequences. NFL TV broadcasts won't have "the double up" on commercials anymore, Packers president Mark Murphy said.

He had hammy issues the whole time at OSU too...

I am no Lions fan, but no way they end up season with same record as bears, right?

If both teams have the same luck with injuries? I don't see it, personally. The Lions aren't stacked with talent, but they definitely have more than da Bears. I guess it depends on how good a healthy Bears D is and what the offense will be like. Cam Meredith, the O line, and Jordan Howard are the only guys you could count on for da Bears. I see the Lions threatening for a Wild Card barring terrible luck. And that is the absolute ceiling I see for Chicago, if the balls all bounce their way, no injury problems, and then everyone else they face is struggling with injuries.

lions won a lot of close games last year, murphy's law says the pendulum swings the other way from them this year

That's the one thing making me think that they won't actually get the wild card. I don't see them as any worse than 7-9, barring massive amounts of injuries.

 

[Irish Joe]

a 5-11 Bears season will mean the end of the line for John Fox

I'm okay with that. He has done exactly what I expected and wanted him to so far: reform the locker room and restore a good team culture. Now it's time for Pace to pick a head coach that won't punt the ball 9 times a game

Browns win!!! Browns win!!!

Fvk yo couch,... the Browns win!!!!

DK looked good,...

 

[Henges24]

DK = MVP

Just seen he led a comeback though. That's pretty awesome. Meaningless, but awesome.

 

[ACamp1900]

Meaningless, but awesome.

Bullshit.

Super Bowl!!!

 

[IrishLion]

It was against a bunch of scrubs mostly, but that shot of confidence (and display of the deep ball) is enough for Hue and Kizer to put some things together.

I'm telling you guys, the only coach that would've been better for Kizer than Hue is Belichick.

 

[ACamp1900]

I was watching that game like it was the playoffs.... lol... just win baby.

[bkess8]

Well I am currently on deployment and always late on whats going on in the world so I look on the sports pages and I am already tired of hearing about players kneeling during the national anthem, when for most of you has it gone to far. I am at the point where I'm starting to show no interest in what is going on in the NFL and this isn't helping.

 

[wizards8507]

Julian Edelman likely out for the season.

 

[NorthDakota]

If there is one team that losing a bro like Edelman doesn't hurt...it's the Pats.

 

[ACamp1900]

Kizer's stat line looks like hot freakin garbage but I'm watching and he's looked really really good again... a few bad drops on really good passes. A 20 yard dime nullified by a phantom flag creating a 3rd and 15, where he has to force it... int... number of very good throws... another good game on his part even tho the stats aren't there this time

And man that int was like 1 inch away from being a completion. The defender just got a finger on it. It's crazy how much better the whole offense looks with Kizer in compared to the other two.

 

[ACamp1900]

Didn't look good on that last possession tho

 

[ACamp1900]

Defense has looked good all preseason... tho our top pick has looked very pedestrian so far imo
