NFL 2018-19

I think the action has something to do with it. This narrative that baseball games are too long is dumb. The only sport that is relatively short is basketball and it still takes 2 hours. NFL games last over 3 hours (8 hours for Peyton Manning games) and they don't seem to be having a problem.

Ya, that's true. A football game is about the same length as a baseball game, but has much more action so it's a more exciting watch. The difference between 2 hours for basketball and 3+ hours for baseball is a meaningful difference though.

But really, people would be fine with 3+ hour games if they weren't expected to watch it 162 times a year, just for the regular season. I think condensing it to the 16 game schedule like NFL is a bit much, but halving the season to a NBA/NHL length of 82 games would make each game mean more which would draw some excitement from fans.
 
he’s there just like parcells was there in dallas, to build a stadium.

cowboys should offer a 3rd rounder for cooper now just to see if he’ll engage.
 
the value of earl thomas just went down

Yup. Saw something scroll along the bottom of one of the games that the seahawks were looking for two 2nd round picks for him. Thought that was a steep ask, but now they wouldn't even be able to get a 7th. Sucks to suck, Pete.
 
reid is a great play-caller, not a great head coach.

there are like three open chiefs on every pass play, amazing.

Andy at age 12 in punt, pass, kick competition... he's a freakin' Shrek compared to those other boys.

They are up and down from one week to the next. It looks like their D is getting scorched; if they could ever have a consistently decent defense, A.A.Ron would probably have about 3 rings by now.
And, this is killing my FF teams.

Last year, I played in a "for fun" league with 10 people and went undefeated.

This year, I joined 2 pay-to-play leagues and have 1 win so far between both teams.
 
Heard this the other day... an interesting observation on Drew Brees and his affect on three teams:

Dolphins - passed on him because of his shoulder injury; picked up Daunte Culpepper instead (remember him? didn't think so)

Saints - their owner was wanting to move them, but after the success they had with Brees / Payton,it didn't happen.

Alabama - had the Dolphins gotten Brees, Saban likely wins more and sticks around, possibly never getting the Bama job

Even the slightest choice makes a huge difference.
 
Mark, I know you're a Panthers fan... but, I'm a Redskins fan and, well... I'm hoping

Looks like your boys on hot today. The Panthers are looking totally unprepared for this game. Three turnovers already... ugh.
Even though Panthers are 3-1, they've beaten a good (so far) team - Bengals, an average Cowboys team, and needed a miracle kick to beat the crappy Giants. They're probably an 8-8 or 9-7 team anyway.

ETA: considering they've never had two consecutive winning seasons, the Panthers are likely gonna end up 7-9.

We played the Saints on "Drew Brees night." I had no idea all of the records that were scheduled to be broken.
