I said that in my other post, that yes, it does help Henry because of his power game. But removing Lamar's running threat hurts them on the whole more than they're helped by Henry's power running game. Especially since it then allows the Bills to really focus on Henry and don't need to worry about Lamar quite as much because the snow would slow him down. It basically means the Bills would no longer need to spy Lamar and it gives them an extra man in the box to focus on stopping Henry. Like I said before, it's a net negative even though there is one positive for them with Henry in the snow. While at the same time, the snow probably also helps the Bills running game more, because good luck tackling Allen in those conditions when he runs too. So if it adds to the threat of Allen running but hurts Lamar's running threat, it's another net positive for the Bills.

Interesting, never thought about it until just now, but these new kickoff rules could really screw teams over in a snow game like this if the kicker just isn't physically able to get a proper run up, plant, and kick to get it to the landing zone.

The Bills were the 9th best rushing team this year Lamar had 915 yards rushing this year and is anything but a power runner (what you need in the snow) who's running game is 100% predicated on his speed and ability to cut and make defenders miss. In no way are the Bills more affected by a snow game than the Ravens are because of what it does to Lamar's threat to run.

I actually think it would be a net disadvantage to them. It would help Henry's power running, but it would likely significantly hurt Lamar's running ability who needs good footing to take advantage of his running ability. So it would really allow the Bills to load up the box to focus on Henry and likely end up hurting the Ravens on the whole.

There are far more Eagles fans than either the Rams or Commanders. Plus you then get Jason Kelce talking about the Eagles/SB nonstop for 2 weeks on everything he does, which is going to drive interest, even more so if it's against KC and his brother. The Rams would give you the LA fires storyline a bit, and the Commanders have a passionate fan base that would be getting back to the SB for the first time in a long time, which would be great for those two teams' fans. But in general random NFL fan interest, I don't think either of them would make it a good enough game to bring in viewers who may not be already tuning in regardless of the matchup like the Eagles would. If the Rams had a real LA fan base like the rest of the city's long time teams it would be different. But in reality, the Rams aren't able to take advantage of the huge LA market.

The NFL is so scared right now that the Rams are going to win this game. Either of the Rams/Commanders making the SB would set up for a possible low fan interest game that could turn into a blowout no matter which of the 3 AFC teams make it.

Glenn has to take an HC job if offered to him, defensive coordinators can fall off a cliff in regards to HC interest if they have one horrible year. He's getting a bit of a pass right now because of how banged up that defense is, but if they were to struggle again for a second season, especially if they were healthier, he'd likely lose all interest in him as a HC. Johnson is the interesting one, as this type of loss, combined with the possibility of getting the HC job of whoever gets the #1 pick next year (and lucks into Arch) could very well be the type of thing to get him to come back to Detroit for one last try.

They're only flavors of the month if the offense they run then stops being elite, which I don't see that being the case next year with all the weapons they'll still have there. The Lions would have to stay healthy on offense and completely tank for him to not be a hot name again next year, can't see it happening.

He's not 60, he's 38 and widely regarded as one of the best offensive minds in the game right now, every team with an opening next year would still want him and put out a feeler to see if there is any interest on his end.

I lived in Arizona for 5 years for college, the heat doesn't phase me in the slightest, it's the humidity that gets me. Drop me in 100+ degree dry heat and I'm fine, but 85 in August with Michigan's humidity and I'm dying, you just can't breathe in it, you can taste the water in the air.

There is literally nothing good about the weather here Winters of course suck, summers are too humid, in the spring and fall we'll have days in the same week of seeing snow and 70 degrees. There's probably like 50 good weather days here a here, it's not cool

It won't affect interest, but it COULD affect Johnson's decision to leave, especially if it's for the Raiders. I think it's going to be tougher for him to go to a complete re-build without a QB after a loss like this one and not come back for one last run at a SB and then hopefully land with whatever team gets the #1 pick and Manning.

lol no But you do give Campbell basically a blank check on his OC replacement, as for as good of a HC Campbell is, and he's a great one, he's not an X's and O's genius type, he needs good coordinators to have high level success.

There are 100% still parts of Detroit that if I'm driving there at night, I'm not stopping at a red light if the intersection is clear lol, but yea, it's not the same city that got the bad reputation it can't shed. Spent about a decade working in the heart of downtown, it really was a great place to work (besides the traffic getting in/out of the city). Especially in the late 2010's when they started having all the food trucks come into Campus Martius.

Life long Metro Detroiter myself (besides Arizona for college), people still assume Detroit is "Detroit" and that it's one big poo hole. Sure, there are bad parts of the city, just like there are in every state and major city, but the main downtown area is nothing like its reputation.

He didn't cost them in the NFCCS last year, it was the coaching decisions that Campbell made that blew that one, if not for that, Goff would have taken them to the SB last year.

The people trying to blame this one on Goff are missing the bigger picture. Sure, he didn't have a good game and threw a bunch of picks. But in reality, both of the INTs at the end of each half were because they were pressing because they were losing by so much, which was in large part because they couldn't stop anyone on defense. You score 31 points in a playoff game and you win that game 7 times out of 10. Hard to stop the other team when you were as hurt as the Lions were on defense this year, their injury situation was next level type of bad. If they had even a halfway decent defense right now, Goff isn't pressing as much and it's a totally different game. Having said that, yea he was bad this game, but it's not all on him.

If it's KC or Baltimore against any of them, it will be a blowout as they have good defenses too If it's Buffalo vs Philly, at least it should be a good game.

lol Brady, with the most sincerity, "you just need an onside kick and a hail mary" before they've even scored the TD and only 45 seconds left hahahaha

I think the biggest "what if" for an already great player is Shaq. What if Shaq had the work ethic of some of these other legends and spent countless hours in the gym working on his free throws and keeping his weight down. Just the amount of points he'd have added from the line, combined with teams then not being able to constantly foul him too, he'd have done crazy things. He'd have been the undisputed GOAT, even more than Jordan or Lebron

Two simple reasons, one I get, one makes no sense to me The easy one is Tom Brady. It's hard to say everything he touches doesn't find a way to work out, so getting to work on building out an NFL team with him, I can see the appeal to that. The other is job security, which in a vacuum, I do get, but not in this particular instance. They're selling him on "we know this roster is a mess, we want YOU to come here and build this team out as you see fit and we're going to give you more than enough time to see it through since we know it's not a 1 year fix. Which sure, it makes sense given how quickly so many teams move on from HC's if they don't have immediate success, particularly with the types of jobs people expected Johnson to be looking at. As everyone expected him to take over a team with an established QB and more ready to compete right away, the ones who aren't going to give you forever to become a winning team. However, I still think the Raiders are the absolute wrong team to take that approach with if you're a HC candidate, because of the division. You have maybe the next GOAT, another Top 10 QB, and a very promising looking rookie to make the best QB division in the league. Then you have one of the best HC's of all time (who even if he doesn't have too many years left, they'll still have Mahomes there), as well as a former SB winner and offensive "genius" and a NCAA NC who has taken an NFL team to a SB as well, to make the best HC division in the league. Even if they give you time to build out the franchise, good luck putting a consistent contender together in a division that has 3 teams looking like they are all set up for long term sustained success.

If the Titans or Browns don't end up loving a QB in this class and don't want to try and tank for Manning, trading the 1st or 2nd pick for Dak, 12th overall, 2026 1st, and maybe a little more would be well worth it. Now, if would Dak waive his no trade clause to go there, is another question. If I'm Dak and they hire Deion and make it clear they're going to trade him to get Shedeur, I'm not going to help them by accepting any trade. I'm forcing my way to a better team and/or forcing them to give up even more picks to make the deal so it helps his new team add players. Or even funnier would be to just accept no trade and play chicken with Deion... do you play the better QB or play your son and lose credibility with the rest of the team. To bad they'd just cut him in the end if it came to that, but at least you then are free to sign wherever you want.

Not sure how cheap he'd actually be in the end as it looks like Dallas guaranteed a large portion of his contract, but kept the signing bonus to a smaller portion of it as "only" $80 million and had a very small base salary this past season. So they new team wouldn't be paying the $60 million a year average that the contract was, but his base salary in the next 4 years are 48, 40, 45, and 55 million, still a good amount for a QB, even in today's market.

If he wants to coach both his sons, just stay one more year in college. Because then Shedeur will suck and get his coach fired, they can hire Deion, and then sign his other son since he’s not getting drafted anyways and is gonna spend the year on a practice squad at best. Honestly that’s what makes me wonder if Shedeur could even be drafted by someone like the Giants. If I’m Daboll, no way I’m doing that, it basically just sets yourself up to be fired in a year so they can hire Deion.

lol bowl game? They never beat a ranked team and think they only beat 2 power 5 teams who had an above .500 record. And they did that with a Heisman winner playing both ways and another Heisman candidate at QB, but sure, people keep thinking Deion is some amazing coach, it makes no sense, he's a glorified cheerleader, that's it.
