I have never seen the divisional round.

I’ve never seen the Wild Card round.

And hopefully, after Brady and Belichick and these glory days are gone, you never do.

That won't be for another 15 years or so.

Uhm, Robert Kraft is in doodoo.

It isn't nice to talk about the ladies like that, timmer.

Is this the wildest NFL offseason ever?

Kyler Murray drafted to replace Josh Rosen
Antonio Brown forcing his way to a trade and nearly retiring because of his helmet
OBJ traded to the Browns
Tyreek Hill investigation, no suspension
Andrew Luck retiring at 29
LeSean McCoy, once (and maybe still?) considered a future HoFer cut by the Bills
Blockbuster Clowney trade followed immediately by blockbuster Tunsil trade

All it says to me is that things that don't usually happen, are going to happen in 2019. Better start preparing for a parade in Buffalo now.

#157

And how did I forget about Robert Kraft's extracurriculars?! This thing is getting too scripted.

#158

Does anyone know if this Antonio Brown kid is any good?

His fundamentals are a little sloppy but he’s got a great attitude and a team-first mindset.

#160

I’ve reached my peak as a spoiled sports fan: I’m disappointed by a 30-14 win.

#161

Well to be fair, I was disappointed that we let the Jets score too.

#162

They were cruising toward 4 straight games without allowing a touchdown, then a muffed punt and a pick six by the rookie backup QB in garbage time changed that.

The defense is still pitching a TD shutout though.

#163

I'm okay with an 0-3 start if they can get Zac Taylor his first win against the Steelers on Monday Night Football.

#164

0-3 vs 0-3

How exciting.

#165

Jesus, Cincy. 4 and 21? That O-Line looks like it doesn't give a toss.

#166

4 and 29.

Woof.

#167

Red Rifle must've shot his eye out.

#168

I officially feel bad for the Jets. This game is non-competitive.

#169

I sat this one out. Been a rough season for me thus far.

#170

Turned it on to see Darnold continue to pitch the self-shutout

#171

I guess my Dolphins might have a chance against the Jets this weekend now that the trade deadline has put an end to their fire-wagon sale shenanigans. Though I think they may have a better chance against the Bengals. I guess we'll see how Dalton's replacement does before I get my hopes up.

Please beat the Bengals so they can land the first pick.

We've got three first-round picks, so I don't know that landing the first overall pick is that important.

#174

I feel like the Bengals are more talented than their winless record suggests. They won’t be worse than Miami.

#175

The Dolphins won a game.

#176

WE'RE NUMBER ONE!

#177

Which is sadder- the fact that the Jets couldn’t find a way to beat the Dolphins or that the Dolphins couldn’t find a way to lose to the Jets?

#178

The Jets and the Falcons both did the Dolphins a favor today. Can they stick to tank mode or is Fitzmagic too powerful a force to overcome?

#179

Doesn’t matter: the Bengals bumbling away with it.

#180

Are we tanking for Tua?

Or Herbert?

Or Burrow?

Or Chase Young?

Or Akili Smith?

#181

The Colts really wanted the Dolphins to win today.

#182

After treating the team like a dumpster fire and trading away much of the best talent on the team they could have started a rebuild with as foundational pieces, the Dolphins had one job to do. They can’t even lose when they need to. Maybe the top draft pick isn’t necessary, but the first-round picks from the Steelers and Texans are only dropping lower on the draft board with every passing week.

Is it wrong to say that I’m almost hopeful now that their tank-and-rebuild strategy fails miserably?

#183

Panthers pulling their best Saints week 10 impersonation.

#184

Having the Bills play on Thanksgiving is pretty exciting. I'm cautiously optimistic against this Cowboys team but part of me does think the moment will be a little big for Josh Allen and some of the other guys.

No, I'm hoping for that outcome too.

#185

AFC:
Saturday at 4:35 p.m.- #5 Buffalo Bills @ #4 Houston Texans
Saturday at 8:15 p.m.- #6 Tennessee Titans @ #3 New England Patriots

NFC:
Sunday at 1:05 p.m.- #6 Minnesota Vikings @ #3 New Orleans Saints
Sunday at 4:40 p.m.- #5 Seattle Seahawks @ #4 Philadelphia Eagles

Any predictions?

#186

Why is the football season starting a week early this year?

#187

Hush you. Countless sports journalists have already jinxed my fantasy by prematurely questioning if this is the end of the Brady/Belichick/Patriots dynasty era. They only dropped to the 3-seed for God's sake.

#188

It’s not over unless Brady decides to leave this year. He’s still good and the struggles are not on him. Not directly, at least.

I can’t see them beating Baltimore in Baltimore this year. I can see then beating KC though. They were the better team in the second half of their regular season matchup there.

At this point I just want to see a Brady/Brees or Brady/Rodgers Super Bowl. It’s ridiculous that we haven’t had either of those matchups yet with how long all three of them have been at the top of the game. But it won’t be this year. It’ll be Baltimore vs. whoever comes out of the NFC.

This week’s winners:
Bills
Pats

Saints
Seahawks

#189

Maybe I'm a sucker for Houston, but I picked the Texans over the Bills. Otherwise we're of like mind.

I can see it. You're not a true Bills fan if you don't go into every match-up expecting a crushing loss, while also believing in your heart of hearts that they can pull it off no matter what. They've done wilder things against a Houston team in the Wild Card round before ...

#191

I believe in Buffalo's defense more than I believe in Houston's offense.

#192

It’s almost as if Lamar Jackson became what Deshaun Watson was supposed to be.

#193

Texans are underrated. They're like a functional Cowboys.

Did [mention]sloonei[/mention] pick the Vikings and Ravens to win yesterday?

Seriously though- I didn’t see that Titans win coming. Let’s just make the Dolphins’ failure complete by see Tannehill win Super Bowl MVP.

If the Titans go to the Super Bowl and win it'll be Derrick Henry MVP, lol.

#200

Titans/Ravens is the only pick I would have got wrong this week, but I think we're all in that boat.

Henry is a machine. He goes against everything that the modern NFL is supposed to be, but he's unstoppable right now. I can see Tennessee winning the Super Bowl on his shoulders. I'll be rooting for the FIghtin' Vrabels.
