    Cool

    Next step is to settle on a QB.

    27 starters in 30 years. Who they think they are the Jets? The Bears?

    Had a comment of mine removed from the Packers chat forum. I simply said Missing Crosby had better not choke during the post season.

    The Dolphins firing a coach that has finally righted the ship. So dumb.

    About time. I swear Zimmer had dirt on someone to be there as long as he was. Stopped watching, or caring after 2017.

    Be interesting to see who they put in their place. Time will tell if I watch again. My grandchildren may see a Super Bowl win. Sad. I was a huge fan for years.

    The vikings have played the ravens 7 times. In the years that the vikings beat the ravens the vikings went on to play in the NFC championship game. In the years the vikings lost to the ravens the vikings went on to fire the head coach.

    Have you verified that?

    That stat has to be off a bit. Browns became the Ravens in 96, which mathematically puts them playing the NFC North division that year as they play each division on 5 year cycles. 96, 01, 06, 11, 16 and 21.

    Not saying it's your stat, just knew Ravens hadn't been in the league 30 years

    Which is what my picks are minus the 49ers. Not sure if it's I don't trust the cowboys in the playoffs or because I simply don't like them.

    If I was going to pick an upset that may be the one, that being said if passing the ball in Buffalo is difficult Bill is going to have the Pats in position to pull off an upset.

    I have not heard any plans, I know they are /were trying to come up with plans to deal with any outbreaks. Not sure if still are but was planning moving the SB from Los Angeles to TX due to Covid restrictions. I think I heard that they are prepared to postpone the SB a week if the need should arise.

    Covid will impact a team or more I'm most certain of that. Who and to what extent is the unknown.

    Think of all the teams fighting for a playoff spot that had to play a game(s) without key players and missed out in the end, only to have the NFL postpone or make exceptioms for a team because it is the playoffs.
