2018 NFL off-season thread: Mr. Alex Smith goes to Washington

Consider me James Comey.

Bears on MNF in Week 2 vs. Seahawks. Nagy is getting thrown right into the fire.

 

I'm also hearing there will be a Niners-Raiders game in prime time. In Oakland or Santa Clara, it will take until Christmas to unsnarl the traffic. And I believe security will be allowed to use the 10-point must system on all fights in the stands.]

 

Pats come to Pittsburgh Dec. 16.

 

Heard it's a 4:25 game.
Surprised the Pats have PT games with the Colts and Bills confirmed. Vikings in week 11 has to fill their max five, since Steelers and Jags are 4:25ers.

 

There will be some football fans in Mississippi who will have a tough choice to make on Thanksgiving night: Falcons-Saints at the Superdome or the Egg Bowl. Seeing as how Ole Miss is probably going to suck balls this year, that's not really a tough decision for me. But others may disagree.

 

49ers John Lynch updates Reuben Foster's status

"Did I say he hit me and ruptured my eardrum? I meant he hugged me and gave me rapturous earrings!"

There’ll be play-by-play analysis here on an almost real-time basis ... count on it.

 

Does the NFL go out of its way to give ESPN crummy games? Even if you figure they allow Fox and CBS to protect one Sunday game and give the next two to NBC and Fox, ESPN should at least have the fifth best game of the week - and they typically don't.

 

I don't know how you "fix" kickoffs without ruining potential on-side kicks. Make the kicking team stay still until the ball is kicked? Making it like a punt following a safety? Do the new college rule allowing fair catches and the ball at the 25?
