Which playoff teams are liable to sit starters?

TB would be a no brainer for one

NY Giants?

Tepper had a huge rookie mistake in hiring Rhule.

I actually give credence to this rumor.  If Harbaugh fails, it will not be because it was a bad hire.

I do not think Tepper will be outbid on this one

So Troy Vincent says the "5 minute" warmup was NEVER discussed.

Lots of great takes on that here wasted I guess

I would say he failed to make chicken salad out of chicken ____

Probably not the guy for next season, but don't think he set us back

Sounds like most that don't perish immediately recover well, so that seems encouraging for Hamlin. 

Not sure what else the NFL could do except maybe beef up the chest protectors. 

That is what I mentioned last night, about less and less protection for guys for the sake of speed.

I remember playing in high school and we had big thigh pads and lots of equipment.

These guys today have little to nothing from the waste down.  Pad em up all over, screw the 4.4 infatuation.

This is a bit scary, especially for other football players

40 years ago you also had more natural athletes.

The whole system needs to be changed. The meat grinder of the NFL and college/high school ball creates these freak athletes. I always chuckle when a player smashes another and the other guy gets knocked out of the game. Then they say post game they say they weren't trying to hurt them. And maybe the intentionality wasn't there, but what exactly do you expect to happen when blast a dude in the head at 20mph?

Point was that they were running a bit slower.

Speed is what is important to the NFL now.  4.4 is all that matters

I remember 40 yrs ago when players were waaay more padded, and slower, but the game was still great.  Of course, they didn't understand concussions then, just say you "had your bell rang"

Just sayin

ESPN shows postponed.

Goodell should take the load off these teams and cancel the game

Bengals fans handling it well so far

Oline and Dline did not show up.

From that, we got burned continually on defense, could not run the ball, nor pass protect.  Horrible showing from the trenchmen

Houston has first pick, so are they in mix?

There is no way Tom Brady wants a losing season on his record so they are going in to be 9-8

I would disagree.

Getting his team ready for a meaningful game against the Cowboys (probably) is way more important

Love to see the Falcons get that meaningless win.

Of course the Panthers will probably go to NO and get that meaningless win too

We were Oline, Dline and DB short today

Remember the CMC trade?

The further the 49ers go in the playoffs, the worse it is for the Panthers' new picks.

How quickly we(me) forget

Who is Bucs Oline coach?

They have done a terrific job with losing Wirfs and their badass Center and several others. Totally stopped our Dline today and made us look quite anemic

Should be rooting for SF to lose in the first round. Better draft picks for the Panthers.

How does that work?

Lets go Jax and SF.

My hopes for Super Bowl

Win the trenches, win the game

Or, lose the trenches, lose the game

Bad Sam

perfect pass

Dline is not impressive today

Tampa with stupid clock management
