Around the NFL - 2017

[QB Eagles]

Raiders are still looking for that first interception of the year. They failed to intercept Marcus Mariota, Josh McCown, Kirk Cousins, Trevor Siemian, Joe Flacco, Philip Rivers, Alex Smith, Tyrod Taylor, and Jay Cutler.

Interesting prop bet would be which week the Raiders get their first pick. I found +150 odds of them getting a pick this week playing New England in Mexico City. Then they are home against Brock Osweiler and Eli Manning. If they can't get a pick either of those two weeks, they are in real trouble. They end the season with a brutal stretch against the Chiefs, Cowboys, Eagles, and Chargers.

That's pretty amazing they don't have a pick yet. You'd think they would've lucked into a tipped pick or something

gruden to the bucs rumors starting to fly

im fine with this. hes bad on mnf and the game has probably passed him by, so he can go 7-9 for an irrelevant team.

not sure if hes what espn wants but chip would be really good in the booth

I feel like they go Rex Ryan. Won't be long before we miss the halcyon days of Gruden.

[MDS]

my hope is that romo is going to be a game changer for how networks make this hires. rex has been terrible on countdown and was terrible on that late mnf game in week 1.

chip is super smart, engaging and quick. he cant coach at the nfl level but id be he could talk about it. hes also a complete football nerd which is what you need in that role. the only thing he might not have is the energy level romo and collinsworth bring.

If Chip can slow down his talking speed he might be decent. That said, I don't want him on tv in any capacity.

[MDS]

i dont believe espn or any network will be making decisions based off the feelings of butt hurt philly fans. i might be wrong, though.

[Sgt PSN]

They don't?  That's hard to believe.

[Geowhizzer]

My two choices for 1:00:
Bucs-Dolphins
Jaguars-Browns

Yay Florida!

[Sgt PSN]

Could have been worse....you could have had Chiefs/Giants.

[QB Eagles]

I had Ravens-Packers. farg both of you.

[ice grillin you]

sean mcdermott has to be fired tonight right?

[PhillyPhreak54]

No chance they fire him but what a bonehead move on his part. And their defense has been dismantled multiple times.

5/16 AFC teams will have a winning record after the games today

Also Washington will go another season without winning more than 10 games. They've not eclipsed that total since 1991. Every other NFL team has done so.

one team from each conference makes the superbowl

[QB Eagles]

Possibly more damning is that the 3 seed is QBed by Blake Bortles.
