Bills OC Brian Daboll already owns five superbowl rings and a national college title...Bills are gonna have a tough time filling his shoes if and when he finds a job as a head coach.

I fully expect Stephon Gilmore to be traded in the offseason.

The Pats do need a good, young QB. Cam isn't what he used to be. Best TD pass i saw from Pats 2020 was by Jacoby Myers to Burkhead in a trick play.

If the declining Gilmore goes, Pats will still have a solid cornerback in JC Jackson

How ridiculous not to be able to watch the AZ game.

Atlanta Hawks are definitely a better team this year, and they're still missing some guys. Granted, they've beaten the Bulls and are keeping it tight against a currently offensively-depleted (minus Ja) Grizzlies team. But, still better.

Someone, please get my man Ja some help, goddamn.

Christian Wood was such a great pickup for the Rockets, man.

I don't get why James Harden wants to leave so badly when the Rockets could have a better team this year than they did last year.

Christian Wood was made in a lab to play with Harden. His bag, based on last night and how he balled in Detroit, is what we were hoping Capela could develop into. He's the perfect pick and roll partner for #13.

Dwayne Haskins, on brand, is fucking up Washington's chances of winning the NFC East right now. I never thought I'd be so invested in seeing Washington come out the NFC East, but this is where I need the....*takes deep breath and swallows a brickload of pride*...need the Cowboys to win against the Eagles. Assuming Washington beats the Eagles next week.

Dwayne Haskins is gone after this year, I just wonder if there's anything there with him. Apparently Dan Snyder requested him be drafted, yet the previous coaching regime wasn't that high on him and never really invested much in developing him. Riverboat Ron kinda inherited him but I'm not sure -- he's a defensive-minded head coach who may not have been the right person to develop him properly. I see him as another Josh Rosen in that he was drafted by a bad team that had a major coaching change afterward, yet he'a clearly less talented on the initial eyeball test. Coaching matters, though, I don't care what anyone says about that. Good players can be ruined by going to bad franchises, yet I'm not quite sure that's the case here.

Also, how the hell did the Browns lose to the Jets? I didn't even bother to watch because I figured it was a freebie. With the resurgence of Baltimore, there is a very realistic shot they could miss the playoffs if they lose to the Steelers, which history is not on their side on that one. That would be the most Cleveland Browns way of ending their season.....

The Browns' entire receiving core was put on the COVID list and then some. But, unlike the Ravens, the league did not bend over backwards for the Browns. With their playoff berth on the line. Which is ridiculous. You can't decimate an entire position and expect there to not be a significant cost, even against thr shitty Jets.

And Ohio State QBs tend to be hella overrated by the NFL in general. He is 100% the next Josh Rosen. I would not be surprised for his drafting to be a mainly Dan Snyder thing.

Ah. That makes sense. Damn. It doesn't help that their last game is a divisional opponent; they seem to have some sort of curse when it comes to playing divisional opponents that aren't the bengals. This is just one of those weird seasons where you have a bunch of pretty good-ish (11-5/10-6) stacked in one conference.

I know, man, it would absolutely blow to see them come so close to a playoff berth and have it slip right near the end. Unless the Ravens lose to the Bengals next week (which I'm doubtful of).

Crazy day in the NBA today.

Knicks up 20 against the Bucks right now.
Hornets beat the Nets.
Magic come back from 20 down against the Wizards.
Cavs up 32 against the Sixers (granted, without Embiid).
Mavs blow out the Clippers in LA by 51. Sheeeeeeeeeeeeesh.
