Tomorow is the day the NFL decides if we are being flexed out of Dec. 20th sunday night game vs the vikings. With us all but one loss away from being eliminated from playoff contention and the Vikings having the division pretty much wrapped up if the Packers lose tonight, do you think we will get flexed out?

i think Cincinnati San Diego is protected by CBS..PFT had an article about how the other game options that aren't protected for that week aren't that much more tempting.

you might be right. CBS has the double header that week. The lack of another attractive game that week means we stay there by default most likely. unless they flex New Orleans or Indianapolis.

A bunch of reasons but the biggest one is that in my opinion the coverage is always lopsided to the team with the the largest market.

In this case it will be a 3.5-4.5 hour Farve/Peterson/Allen love fest that I can do without.

Not only that but I really hate watching us get our teeth kicked in on national broadcasts and this has the potential to get WAY out of hand.

You are correct, however they still do that no matter the announcer or time. Including national highlight shows.

They can flex the Thursday and Saturday games?

      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.
