the 2019 game wouldn't come into play decision-wise with so many games happening internationally in the future (miami in madrid in 2025!!), it's going to get to the point where every team has an international game on their schedule every season

10/10 based on that last game Based on what he was able to do with turning Bryce around and turn us from laughing stock of the league at the start to being competitive against some strong teams at the end? Give him Coach of the Year honors

waiting for the BlueSky embed codes to be enabled as more users move off of the twitter

And..... Jags fired their HC

Go in McCaffery gear - you'll be fine either way

Wait wait wait --- TOTALLY missed this in yesterday's OT euphoria We DIDN'T finish last in the division like everybody was saying we would as the season progressed?

Dave C gets another reference for being a QB whisperer

BETTER THAN LAST SEASON! WOOOOOO!!!! Can't wait to see what this crew can do next year

If it happens, would this be a 100% Tepper decision (either Dave or Nicole, pick one), or a Morgan/Canales tag team choice? My hope is the latter, and the Teppers continue to let Football People make Football Decisions

Compared the crapfest we’re hearing today on CBS? Greg’s in a different league

Awful Announcing is running a poll for who the best TV announcer booths were (it's broken down by booth, so some individual names appear more than once if they had different partners over the season (or if they happened to handle any one-off games, like for Netflix) Let's see if we can ensure Greg is awarded his well-deserved "A" rating (and maybe tank/influence those who truly are horrible) https://awfulannouncing.com/nfl/grade-announcer-booths-2024-season.html

So good so good so good Christmas came early pie

KEEEEEP......

And... a correction to almost everything I said earlier in the thread According to 506 Sports: the Fox network made the initial decision to air PHI-WSH. The way I understand it (and I may be wrong), the Greensboro and Greenville stations found out about it early enough to raise hell and get it changed. Raleigh and Wilmington did not. But the network makes the final decision.
