I'm guessing everyone had real nice Christmas dinners/evenings, since no one said a single word during the Bucs game. I don't get how this team can look so dog shit/mediocre for 3 quarters and then explode late in the 4th seemingly week after week. I just don't get it. I know the offensive line is decimated, the run game sucks ass. But how are they able to turn it on so frequently in the 4th but can't get right in the first 3 quarters?... Anyways, here's some Brady/Bucs stats, then some regular Monday stats.
  • Brady somehow gets his 57th career game winning drive, extending his NFL record.
  • Brady has tied Drew Brees for most career overtime wins (reg+post) at 14.
  • Brady needs 42 completions and 56 attempts in the last 2 games to break both the NFL single season records.
  • Brady has 671 pass attempts in 15 games. 45 per game. At age 45.
  • Brady now has a winning record against 30 of the 32 NFL teams. He has a 0.500 record against the remaining two (49ers and Broncos). He had a 0.500 record vs the Cardinals before last night.
  • The Bucs 7 victories have all had offensive scores of 21 or less. No team has ever made the playoffs without scoring more than 21 points in ANY win during the regular season
  • Fournette posted on Twitter he has been playing with a Lisfranc injury in his foot.


  • DeShaun Watson among 44 QB's with 100+ passes this season. PFF grade 38th, Comp% 32nd, Passer Rating 44th, YPA 43rd. The last 4 games he has played in has been the worst 4 game stretch of his career. It includes the 2 lowest passer rating performances of his career.
  • The Browns have scored just 3 offensive TDs in 4 games with Watson. The Browns have secured their 2nd consecutive losing season after making the playoffs in 2020.
  • Marcus Jones now has a receiving TD, punt return TD and INT return TD as a rookie. The only other player in the SB era to score a 40+ yd TD each of those ways in their entire career is Deion Sanders.
  • Marcus Jones is the first player with a punt return TD, receiving TD and defensive TD in the same season since Julian Edelman in 2012.
  • Kevin Stefanski is the 6th coach to follow up an AP Coach of the Year Award with consecutive losing seasons.
  • The Packers need to beat both the Vikings and the Lions to make the playoffs. They have already lost to both teams once this season. Rodgers has only been swept by a divisional rival ONCE his entire career (2009). Chance he is swept twice this season.
  • The Packers had a 3% playoff chance after week 12, it was up to 17% pre-game, and is now 37% post-game.
  • Matt LaFleur is 15-0 in December with the Packers.
  • The 12-3 Vikings are currently 3 point underdogs vs the 7-8 Packers next week.
  • Kirk Cousins has been hit 125 times this year. That is the most hits any QB has taken through 15 games since 2000 (as far back as TruMediaSports records).
  • Kirk Cousins has recorded 25+ passing TDs in 8 straight seasons. He is the 5th QB to do so, joins Manning, Brees, Rivers and Brady.
  • The Vikings have now won 11 games by 8 or fewer points, the most in a single season in NFL history.
  • Kirk Cousins has tied Matt Stafford (2016) for the most game winning drives/4th quarter comebacks in a single season (8).
  • There has been five 60+ yard field goals this season. 4 of them have involved the Vikings.
  • Vikings WR Justin Jefferson now has 24 career 100-yard receiving games. That's the most 100-yard games by any player in NFL history through his first four seasons. Jefferson is still in his third season.
  • Jefferson now holds the Vikings franchise record for receiving yards and receptions in a single season.
  • Four NFC teams have clinched playoff appearances (Eagles, Vikings, 49ers, Cowboys). The Giants and Bucs can clinch next week. The Commanders currently sit in the 7th spot, which would mean the entire NFC East is currently in the post season.
  • If the season ended today, every team with a winning record would be in the playoffs alongside two losing teams.
  • The combined playoff record of currently projected NFC playoff QBs (excluding Tom Brady) is just 2-8.
  • It's still possible for the NFC South divisional winner to be 7-10 (unlikely, but possible).
  • With Trace McSorely's end of regulation hail mary being intercepted, Baker Mayfield was the only quarterback who started on Christmas that didn't throw an interception.
  • Baker Mayfield now has the 2nd highest single game comp% in Rams history (behind Kurt Warner).
  • The Rams 37-point victory was the largest by any team on Christmas Day in NFL history. They join the Saints (2020) as the only teams to record a 50-point game on the holiday.
  • Baker had just 4 incompletions. The Broncos had 4 interceptions.
  • Russell Wilson recorded a QBR of 3.5. The lowest of his career.
  • This is the first time in his career, that Russell Wilson has trailed by 20+ points in back-to-back starts.
  • If Russell Wilson is sacked 4 times in the remaining 2 games, he will set a new career high for sacks while facing the lowest pressured rate of his entire career.
  • The Broncos need to score 48 combined points over their final 2 games to not be the lowest scoring Broncos team of all time (PPG).
  • The Broncos have missed the playoffs in 7 straight seasons since winning Super Bowl 50, the longest drought in NFL history by a team immediately following a Super Bowl win.
  • The Raiders have now lost 5 games this season in which they had a halftime lead. In the 2nd half of those games, Derek Carr is just 45% for a total of 261 yards, 5 INTs and just 1 touchdown scoring drive.
  • Sam Darnold has now gone 4 straight games without a turnover. The longest stretch of his career.
  • With interceptions in 3 consecutive drives in the 4th quarter, Tua Tagovailoa is the first Dolphins QB to throw 3 interceptions in the 4th quarter since Chad Henne in 2009.
  • Tua is the first QB to throw 3 INTs in the 4th quarter of a 1 score game since Sam Darnold did it in a 13-6 loss to the Dolphins in 2018.
  • Tua and Jameis Winston are the only quarterbacks to throw 3 fourth quarter INTs in a game this season.
  • The Dolphins went winless in December for the first time since 1993.
  • 49ers Brock Purdy has as many TD passes of 25+ yards this season as Patrick Mahomes has (6).
  • Brock Purdy is the first QB in 49ers history to win each of his first three career starts.
  • Complete list of every QB in NFL history with a 110+ Passer Rating in each of their first 3 starts: Brock Purdy.
  • The 49ers defense has yet to allow a single rusher to reach 60 yards on them this season. Brian Robinson had 58 Saturday.
  • Malik Willis has failed to throw for over 100 yards in his first 3 starts.
  • On Thanksgiving, the Titans were 7-3 and the Jaguars were 3-7. They're now both 7-8, tied atop the AFC South with a Week 18 game for the division looming.
  • Pro Bowl QB Josh Allen leads the league in turnovers (tied at 18 with M. Ryan). No Pro Bowl QB has done that since NYJ QB Brett Favre in 2008.
  • Josh Allen has now thrown 8 interceptions in opponent territory, tied for the most in the NFL this season with Kirk Cousins. Allen threw 7 Int in opponent territory in the previous 3 seasons combined (2019-21).
  • The Bills have notched six non-Sunday wins this season. That is the most since the 1962 Boston Patriots.
  • There will only be one game between teams with a winning record in week 17 (Bills Bengals). This will be only the 2nd time since the 1970 merger that there is just a single game between winning teams within the final 2 weeks of a season.
  • Last week the Panthers ran the ball 16 times for 21 total yards. This week the Panthers had 240 yards rushing in the 1st HALF. The most in the 1st half by any team since 2006.
  • Dak Prescott went 24-for-24 for 300 yards when Eagles played zone. Eagles defense allowed points (4 TDs, 4 FGs) on 8 of 10 Cowboys possessions. Eagles' 2nd-worst defensive performance of the season, based on EPA per drive.
  • The Bengals have gone undefeated in November and December for the first time in franchise history.
  • Lead changing 60+ yard field goals, in the final 2 minutes of a game, since 2016: Against the Giants 3/3, against all other teams 2/15.
  • There are 5 teams still mathematically in contention for the 1st overall draft pick: 1. Texans: 2-12-1, Bears: 3-12, Broncos: 4-11 (owed to Seahawks), Cardinals: 4-10, Colts: 4-9-1.
Also... The Steelers Ravens game is flexing to Sunday Night Football next week and the Chargers Rams game is out. This will officially make it so neither of the Super Bowl teams played a single Sunday Night Football game this season.

Plus there's a chance Wilson might be able to improve next season and at least be average.  With that MASSIVE dead cap hit it wouldn't make any sense to cut him.

With that much snow you need full access to the vehicles to clear it out without it being stupidly tedious.

Option A: Plow a clear area, players return, access cars, move them into cleared area, clean off cars relatively quickly, go home.

Option B: Hire a handful of dudes with shovels and brushes to chip away at multiple feet of snow that's on top of, between, and concealing rather expensive vehicles.

Can they afford it? Sure. Does it really make any sense? No.

NH fired as HC for the Broncos...

If you take into account everything (including long term implications) a case could be made that the 2022 Broncos have had the most disastrous season an NFL team has had in decades.


Emphasis on long term.

What HC candidate is signing up for the situation Denver is in right now?






After the 2023 season is over, Denver can cut Wilson and take a $50M stomp in the nuts.

On March 21, 2024, there's a rolling guarantee marker that fully guarantees his 2025 salary. Depending upon how the NFL calendar gets set up, there might be a window where Denver can cut Wilson after the 2023 season but before that guarantee kicks in.

I bet they try him out next year to see how had he truly is, but I don't think it's outside the realm of reason that they bring another QB in at some point. Even with the deadcap.

Response to your first post. And have you ever seen a parking garage in the winter? Guessing not.

Do you honestly believe if the Bills offered $1,000 per person they couldn’t find a team of people willing to clear the snow from the players’ vehicles before they arrived home from Chicago?   Especially if they said it was for the Buffalo Bills players.

This as well.

It's a nice gesture and all, but there is so much potential for shit to go wrong I wouldn't want to put people in that position. That said, considering it's Buffalo this kind of snowfall isn't new and you'd think they'd have covered parking of some kind. THAT is the solution.

    Pulled up Russell's contract to do the math on this one.

    In 2023 Wilson is scheduled to receive a guaranteed $20M option bonus (spread over 5 years cap wise).
    In 2024 Wilson is scheduled to receive a guaranteed $22M option bonus (spread over 5 years cap wise).
    Wilson's 2023 and 2024 salaries are fully guaranteed ($25M).

    That makes up the remaining $67M in cash, Wilson is still guaranteed currently. All of which would be paid out to Wilson after being cut.

    His 2023 cap hit, on a post June 1st designation, would be a measely $22M.
    His 2024 cap hit, as the remainder of his signing bonus and both option bonuses come due, would be EIGHTY FIVE MILLION DOLLARS.

    So yeah... The Broncos could just cut Wilson and move on () but it would cost them $67 in cash, a relatively minor (by comparison, but still a lot) one year dead cap of $22M, then a MASSIVE 2024 dead cap hit of $85M.

    Meanwhile they don't get any of those draft picks or traded players back.

    Not exactly as realistic/reasonable as Rosenthal seemingly makes it sound.

    Edit: No guarantee on my numbers, this is based on my understanding of how the post June 1st cut works, which could be wrong. But they would definitely still owe $67M, and they would be on the hook for $107M in dead cap over the two years combined.

    Moore is a possibility. Young guy, get some experience, and blame the cap situation when he’s fired after 2 years in his future interviews.

    His NFL experience includes:

    Special Teams Coordinator: Atlanta 07
    Special Teams Coordinator: Baltimore 08-18

    So he has never been more than a special teams coach before this season. He also had a 3 year gap between his last gig and this one.

    The interim coach is the clock management guy brought in mid-season instead of the DC leading one of the best defenses in the league.

    Almost wonder if he was offered, and declined the promotion. He’s pretty much killing it at his current position (yesterday notwithstanding) and as HC he’ll be blamed for Wilson’s epic shitting of the bed.

    I wouldn't want to bet on either of the two favorites to take over that shitshow.  Sean Payton has options and Dan Quinn knows he almost certifiably will only get one more shot at being an NFL HC in his career.
    View Quote


    If I'm Sean Payton, I don't think I'm interested in any jobs on this list except for the Chargers and the Cowboys, and I think Staley has probably saved his job for next season, so I'd watch Dallas for that one. The exception might be if there's a team with a top-5 pick and eyes on drafting a QB prospect he likes.

    Dan Quinn might only have one shot left, but I'm not sure how high he is on the candidate list. A defense first team like the Broncos might be the way to go for him, especially if the contract terms are favorable. I think Quinn might also fit the "let's get an adult in the room to stabilize things" candidate profile which is what Denver should probably be looking for. Caldwell might also fit this.

    Quoted:

    I’d put my money on Reich, were I a betting man. Payton is pretty clearly waiting for an ideal situation to take another job.

    Moore is a possibility. Young guy, get some experience, and blame the cap situation when he’s fired after 2 years in his future interviews.
    View Quote


    I'm not sure how the league views Reich at the moment. If they view Indy's problems as mostly on Ballard and the front office, then maybe he'll get some serious consideration.

    There's no way I'm considering the Denver job if I'm a young coaching candidate with a decent market like Moore (or DeMeco Ryans) might have. It's a borderline suicide mission, that type of coach probably isn't a good fit, and a guy with his background probably doesn't have leverage to get good contract terms.

    I think it’s more McDaniels just doesn’t give a fuck if Tua needs coloring books for Christmas in a couple decades, as long as McDaniels can get some early HC career wins.

    Saw that earlier and lots of people claimed it was a "conspiracy theory" or Tua-explaining, etc, etc. Looking a little more valid now. Concussion studies have generally confirmed that having one recent concussion makes it 100-200% easier to have a second. Having two recent concussions makes it 200-400% easier to have a third. Although that impact doesn't appear to be that bad, with Tua's recent health... That easily could have been it.

    The end in New York for Zach Wilson. He has been moved to the inactive list. Flacco will now be QB2 behind Mike White.

    He needs to learn to fall on his face to avoid that whiplash effect from falling on his back.

    Exactly.  I’ve been saying since Tua’s first concussion this season that McDaniels was another Bud Kilmer.

    Kinda crazy they're moving on so quickly.

    I mean I get riding the hot hand during one of your best seasons of the last decade, but it's doubtful that White is a true QB1 and benching Wilson at this point might mean he never develops into the QB you wanted to draft. It might help also, so it's hard to guage, but I think it's still kind of surprising.

    Plus there's a chance Wilson might be able to improve next season and at least be average.  With that MASSIVE dead cap hit it wouldn't make any sense to cut him.

    Yeah.
    The new coach hire is based on winning with wilson.
    Bring in whatever system he can play in.

    Only if every coach you interview says it can't be done do you give up already.

    Valid for this hit. But just throwing it out there, Russell Wilson's concussion a couple weeks ago was face first. Of course it was REALLY face first... Twitter Video

    Looks like he relaxes into the backward falls too much and lets his head whip down.
    Could have a weak neck but it seems unlikely.

    The first concussion hit milano just pushed him off balance backward with his hands.
