What are the odds the season is cancelled due to police brutality? Starting to worry

I'd be stunned if it was cancelled. Teams will want to make a statement. Maybe they'll cancel practice so they can go protest.

Many of the same drivers we normally hear about when discussing the NFL like short careers, and  non-guaranteed contracts will keep the NFL from being as active, say, the NBA.

zero.  it sounds all nice and swell using your platform to enact social reform.... then you realize by cancelling your season you remove the platform.  

 

The NBA is isolated in a bubble and feel helpless to do things except tweet.  The NFL will have days off and will not be restricted to a bubble.  Most players in the NFL aren't household names and without an NFL season aren't as powerful of a voice.  

I will expect lots of touchdown celebrations politically charged , in game demonstrations (both team taking a knee for the first play), and lord knows what else.

 

Its the ratings I am worried about and the onfield product.

How much more narcissistic can you get? You think you are so high and mighty because you want to sit on your couch and watch people risk their lives to play a sport? You think you wield all this power that you can just post garbage and fix things . Get the fug outta here. You are just as bad as the garbage president of the US and the corporate crony shills he surrounds himself with. I say to you, shut the fug up, chud. There is a reason you are a message board poster and not a policy maker. STFU.

      Can we get to 9-8?

      By Mike2.0 · Posted

      A winning record would be nice, but I still have us winning around the 6 to 8 game mark. Realistically we should beat the Jets and Saints, that gets us to 5 wins. After that, we have to face a lot of potential play off teams and our divisional opponents. I think we’ll win 1 or 2 of those games to take us to 6 or 7 wins, perhaps 8 wins if we can spring a further surprise.  Is that enough progress for head coach and QB? I’m not sure, it will depend on performances and output. That said, it’s nice to be back in a position where we are thinking about the play offs.

      Eight of Bryce Young's nine wins have come off game-winning drives

      By Mike2.0 · Posted

      I would tend to agree about not falling into the trap and paying a below average QB, but sometimes situations can “force” a team to pay that QB. For example, if we play ourselves into a 9-8 like record, then what options will we have in the draft? Or do we avoid the draft and trade for or sign someone in free agency?  I’m not convinced by the 2026 QB draft class. There’s some intriguing prospects but no one that really screams “draft me”. I’m not sure we’ve got anyone really that stands out as a trade candidate or free agent signing. So although we might not want to commit a big money contract to Young, him playing well and showing progress might force the team’s hand.

      Trade Chuba?

      By Mike2.0 · Posted

      Realistically we would be looking at no more than a mid round pick for Dowdle or Chuba. Are we really that desperate for a mid round pick? Not really. I would much prefer us utilise the two RBs in a 1-2 punch similar to how we used D-Will and Stewart. After all, Bryce is not Drew Brees. He won’t throw for 300+ yards and carry the team consistently as a passer. So having a strong running game with a 1-2 punch will be beneficial to him, and it will also be beneficial to the RBs because we can spell them and not overwork them.
