What is the schedule?

 

[B.A.R.]

Okay @rambler882 ... Bears home schedule is ridiculously easy, at first look.

Road schedule, NFC Norris gets AFC West so that hurts all of us.

Overall, manageble schedule.

Not a believer in Philadelphia, at least until it beats San Francisco.

Which it won't.

Sunday is the breadwinner, no doubt.

Saturday night is interesting. Hurts just doesn't have a lot of reps the last month. Tough to get back to the machine they were. Neither regular season meeting will tell much, imo.

 

[Frank Costanza]

The chance to have Dallas or Tom is why

Yeah, that's easy.

I get that, didnt realize fox had 2 games this weekend vs 1 cbs

Gotcha

I do love they have moved the divisional round to 3/630 eastern last few years +...

Perfect timing on a Sunday. Builds the excitement...

 

[B.A.R.]

Next year @guaranteeed ...

Each network gets one game on Divisional Week (ESPN, Fox, CBS and NBC).

Yes that's great, I wouldn't even mind if they did an hour later and the 8pm est start

Baby steps

 

[cubsker]

Why aren't the Bengals throwing a holy fit about the location of this game?

No b team announcers will be a dream

Also means no networks locked in any specific game or slot

I saw you post this earlier. I feel like this was very quiet during all these decisions. Not even a coin flip?

Cincy was 1 behind them when MNF kicked off, right?

IMO, they were going to win that game, so tiebreaker.

I get it. They should of fought for this instead of just worrying about the coinflip possibility with Baltimore.

Seems Buffalo owes a little bit of class in return back to the Bengals imo

They were in a hard spot

Everyone would have crushed them publicly if they lobbied for it, undeservedly

Absolutely.

I get that big time.

At same point, if I'm wrong, let me know. They announced the whole coin flip bullshit on Friday of week 18, right? His prognosis was much better at that point. Business is business, that was the time to bring it up.

 

[cubsker]

Surely could have been brought up in their meetings. They said the Bengals lobbied hard to not do any of this bullshit, since they already had rules in place for if games weren't played.

 

[B.A.R.]

I agree.

Buffalo flew out of town as their star WR was Ubering to the hospital. They took away any chance of a finish within those days. I get it.

Things have worked out well for them.

Again, I think Cincinnati was winning that game. So, AFC would have been ..

KC
CIN
BUF

Buffalo has somehow turned this into a home game next week and a neutral after that on turf, if they win.

Unprecedented issue, but curious why this matchup was passed over.

I mean, the league was willing to do a coinflip for a division.

What were the rules?

 

[cubsker]

What were the rules?

ignore it and use win percentage. no coin flips, no neutral site games.

 

[guaranteeed]

ignore it and use win percentage. no coin flips, no neutral site games.

But that is why they only argued coin flip

Cause by that they are still going to buffalo

but once they lost that vote, they surely should have mentioned this possibility and argued for some consistency.

Let's go play it at London next Sunday morning.

I'm sure they did behind scenes

guessing goodell promised them something down line

I find it ridiculous. Big fat asterisk going on a bills title if they win a couple of close games the next two weeks.

I rarely watch these pre-game clusters. Did not realize Buck's wife was employed by Disney.

She looks like she is wearing Firestone tires.

Tough to watch any pregame.

It's honestly been years, but 2020 turned me off to even college GameDay.

8:15 I'm on to Manningcast.

I might actually listen to regular broadcast as game gets later. I tend to drift from the actual action for bits during the Manningcast.

 

[pressitup]

Tough to watch any pregame.

for the last 20 yrs

If you want to see what might work for people like us, the guys on "Follow the Money" spoke to this very same thing.

"Quit hiring ex-players and ex-coaches...."

Nah. Fuck that and fuck dem boys!

first thing I'd do is hire a kid from MIT who knows stats and whoever the best madden player is

Whenever they agree I'd listen

I walked on a flight from DFW to LAX awhile back and Aikman was in first class. He bought 2 seats so he had an extra.I was in the process of reading a book on the Cowboys that he saw. Invited me to sit down and had a Coors Lite with him. (His call not mine. But the beauty of being in 1st class and getting served early) Nice guy and a thrill for a nothing like me. But what I'll always remember is the size of his hands and his head. You never really think about the latter but he was / is just a giant man. Doesn't really come over as such on the air but that he is.

 

[guaranteeed]

Anyone see manningcast guests?

Would love a solo 4th quarter

 

[guaranteeed]

Feels like buck and aikman wasted, 2nd or at worst 3rd best option this weekend, but going up against the 1s

Awesome story.

I love that he bought extra seats.

Not yet.

Exactly what I just told the roommate, hoping for no guests in 4th. I feel like this is how it went last year.
