Week 14 is when we could be flexed to 8:30 against the Vikings. Currently Steelers/Ravens... Steelers been decent but Ravens trash and both us and the Vikings could be very good fighting for 1/2/3 seed then.

I highly doubt it. Heated rivalry, 2 successful teams through history and a giant fan-base in Steelers will not knock them off Sunday night.

I'd like to think NFL/NBC would put the better matchup in prime, but it's all about bringing in viewers for their advertisers. If Baltimore is still hovering around .500 at least, I bet they have a hard time pulling Pittsburgh out and putting us and the Vikings in. I hope so, though.

Obviously the NFL will analyze it and make the best decision for their bottom line but that also includes the 2nd half of the game, and I expect (just like the NFL may wind up expecting) the Steelers to blow them out and be up huge in the first half and no one will watch the 2nd half. Vikings-Panthers is much more likely to be a game that holds viewers' interest thoughout. I'm not expecting it to be flexed but I think it's possible.

i think its more likely that the Pats/Bills game gets flexed. that could literally help decide that division if the upstart Bills can pull off a win against the mortal-looking Pats

Possible, but FOX has the double header that weekend, and that's a CBS game.

    • I think he did a solid job.  Honestly I liked his post game interview the best.  He gave himself a C and said he left a lot out on the field.  That kind of attitude can carry him far.
    • This is lacking a fairly considerable amount of context. For one, Adams(age 22) started 12 of 16 games, had 38 rec, 446 yds and 3 TD's on 66 targets(18 less, with 2 less games started). The main thing missing here is that the top two WR's for Green Bay that year combined for about 2800 yds and 25 TD's. Now if you want to throw a more accurate dart at Adams, take a look at year two. This year the production was spread around considerably and Adams didn't stand out from that pack(pun not intended).  So, if XL struggles mightily this season, I would probably keep that comparison in your quiver to counter argue. I would suggest that I don't think that scenario is probably very accurate for most HOF caliber WR's taken in the first round over the past 15 or so years. Adams was the 89th pick overall, as well. A little different hill to climb than XL, although not massively.
    • to clarify I am not referring to Will Levis.  Not knowingly.   I just made that up and tried to use a reasonable guesstimate of what else was done.  That sounded in the ballpark.  At one time I did look it all up and there were several teams that had much more successful days downfield.   If that happened to be Levis' actual numbers than it's more of a lucky coincidence.  If memory serves, it wasn't just Will Levis that brought the claim into question, it was SEVERAL teams had better days.  and you are missing my entire point of the subjective nature of it all.  If PFF employee Doug watched Bryce's film and then used his same unique subjective vantage point to grade all 31 other starting QBs.  Then dumped into into a spread sheet, it would a subjective Doug take but at least it would be a level uniform subjectivity.   The grades are done by various people.  All watching and applying their own subjective view to a play.  Everyone isn't going to grade incompletions out the same.  Or completions.   So when you dump it all into a spread sheet and hit sort.....it's not actually a statement of fact as portrayed.  Which is why you sometimes get some head scratching stuff.  I'm not reframing anything.   I don't think.  I just wasn't going to look it all back up so I was talking vaguely off the general issue I have with PFF and treating any random claim they make as the truth.
