NFL Wild-Card Weekend thread

Why didn’t the Steelers shuffle off to Buffalo Saturday morning? Dum-dums.

 

Add to the list the San Jose Sharks, who played in Ottawa yesterday are still there. NHL already shifted Monday's game in Buffalo to a noon start.

 

It’s worse than that. Watson will win them six or seven games every year, putting them in draft purgatory three years from now.

 

I don’t think he will. I think what you saw of him this year is the best you’re going to see of him. And what his salary is going to do to the rest of the team going forward is going to make them incapable of competing with nearly everyone.

 

Entirely possible. I fear he plays at a league average level, Garrett and Ward and JOK make them competitive, but in that division never bottom out. I think they’d be a playoff contender next season in another division, but with Burrow returning, the Steelers likely finding a quarterback at some point and the Ravens being the Ravens, no chance.

I’ll get my Sundays back, though.

 

No, I think the taxpayers are fine they didn't have to pony up another $400-500 million for a roof. The Bills have been in the AFL/NFL since 1960, and in that time maybe two games have been postponed/rescheduled by the weather.

Weather happens. Baseball games get rained out all the time but nobody is saying they should put a roof on Wrigley Field or Fenway Park.

 

Now Philly, that’s a great NFL town

 

Detroit had a dome so I guess it's possible, but a dome that could stand up to the kind of snow Buffalo gets seems questionable anyhow.

 

The PFF grade for the game just said “Shit Sandwich.”

 

A dome would do nothing about the travel issues which are the biggest reason they are not playing today.

Purportedly the Steelers are flying out at 3:00 PM today; at least some planes have landed at the Buffalo airport today. I wonder if they can get the equipment on the plane or have to send it by truck.
