Late to the game here, but who are we Pats fans rooting for in the Browns-Bengals game? Or does it even matter?

If you’re Washington, and you have literally nothing to play for, and it’s fourth and goal from the 6 or whatever, why the hell would you not go for it? The kicker needs more practice?

So , we care a bit about Titans losing, a ton about Bills losing, and not about anything else right?

My son is rooting for the Jaguars to win this meaningless game, because he wants them to draft Evan Neal (OT, Alabama) and thinks that’s more likely if they’re drafting 2nd instead of 1st.

Impressive Jags drive to start the game. Lawrence actually threw a touchdown pass.
He's the best QB on that field today.

Ed- not sure it is 100% meaningless for Jax. A good performance today might entice better coaching candidates.

Ed2 - fuck the Colts.

Why isn’t he rooting for getting 1 and trading down?

Is @Deathofthebambino sending SoSH some of that purse if we root (which matters obviously) for him?? OR maybe a JImmy Fund donation for good karma
There will definitely be a charity donation, but not sure yet if it's the Jimmy Fund. I'm involved with a few different charities pretty regularly, so probably go to one of them.

If Khan just admitted he's bad at this, promised to be hands off and had a search committee replace Baalke with someone who with a better rep that job becomes really attractive

Khan is hands-off; that’s not one of the complaints about him. Which is why Jags fans are fixated on Baalke; they’re afraid he will pick the next coach.

If Khan listens to a range of informed voices, mostly from outside the organization, picks the coach based on the advice he receives, and lets the new coach decide what role (if any) Baalke will have moving forward, I’m fine with that.

Obviously, the problem is we’re talking about a guy (Khan) who in the past five years didn’t realize the game had passed Tom Coughlin by, then failed to learn the lesson about culture and went and hired Urban Meyer. And that’s giving him a pass for Gus Bradley and David Caldwell, which at least seemed like good hires at the time. Khan simply hasn’t demonstrated a capacity for good judgment in this area.

Lions wearing Bobby Layne, Doak Walker etc. throwbacks today, Packers in normal unis. Teams used to wear throwbacks together. Roger's league is getting sloppy.

Fake punting in a situation that you should probably go for it anyway…. is just so dumb (Ravens game)

An old-school electronic football game defense moved better than the Bengals just did on that Browns touchdown
