If the Bills cannot win a Superbowl this year, then they may never win one

49ers trade with the Panthers for RB Christian McCaffrey
It's a big swing - if (big if) McCaffrey can stay healthy he's a perfect scheme fit.
I'm ok with it - NFC West division is very winnable - go all in.
It comes full circle - McCaffrey's dad Ed played for Kyle Shanahan's old man Mike the last time 49ers won the Super Bowl.

It's too tight a league to be confident. But they look very good... Before injuries and cold weather hits

It's probably too high a price in the long term but as you say, the NFC is wide open and they're one of the best defences in the league so if this pushes their offence over the edge it's pretty worthwhile. Going to be a tough off-season though, lots of free agents,bugger all draft picks and a tough cap situation.

@Cyclops win now though makes sense. You have to take a gamble don't you
Yeah I think one of the toughest things in the NFL is finding that balance between getting better now and getting better in the future, but this definitely feels like the right spot to gamble some future gains for right now.

the crazy season continues
In a division containing the Rams, the Niners and the Cards, and with Geno Smith at QB, the Seahawks are leading
there are a LOT of teams just over or just under .500 win percentages.
Denver have a defense that gives up like 16 points a game. And still can't win. FMD. they are 2-5 and their points diff is -15
-
@mariner4life not the best suite of matchups this weekend.
But still - Mahomes is some cheat code. Ridiculous. Geno Smith is on a tear, was kind of fun. Mondays off to watch NFL is great.
Thursday night football was a cripple fight ... kind of fun but you hate yourself a bit

Thursday night football has been dire this year and probably not going to get much better. Don't see too many games coming up that look like can't miss matchups.
I see we have bears pats on Monday night football. That also promises to be a pretty dour encounter. Stats this year (so far) are scoring down, QB play down. Wonder if that's a trend or an anomaly.

Christian McCaffrey becomes the first player since 2005 to run for a TD, throw for a TD and catch a TD in the same game.
With Deebo out CMC took on the mantle of being the Rams destroyer.
Huge win for the 49ers who have a chance to get a few starters back healthy with a bye coming up.
-
The NFL is never dull.
A number of trades at the deadline this week.
- DL Robert Quinn to the Eagles
- LB Roquan Smith to the Ravens
- DL Bradley Chubb to the Dolphins
- WR Calvin Ridley to the Jaguars.
In addition Dan Snyder has made some moves indicating he is looking to sell the Washington Commanders. Commanders fans are hoping this is true.
-
Busiest deadline in a while. Kind of reflects a league where there are a couple of front runners and then a massive pile of teams that are in the picture. Everyone is talking themselves into thinking that they're a piece or two away from a playoff run.
-
Is the AFC East the toughest division in football right now? Bills 6-2, Dolphins and Jets both 6-3 and the pats are 5-4. Both of the Bills loses are to division rivals.
Dolphins might have the most dangerous passing attack with Waddle and Hill, the Jets defence is ferocious with three top 15 corners and one of the best defensive line groups in the league. The Bills need no introduction and Bill Bellicheck is propping up the table (with a winning record no less).
Probably a bit too close to call between the NFC East and the two west divisions. Man there are some brutal divisions this year.

Frank Reich gets fire by Indy and they replace him with.... Jeff Saturday??!!! The guy has zero coaching experience at any level. Many coaches toiling in the league must be wondering who they have to kill to get a shot. I'm looking at you Eric Bieneimy....
-
loool NFL teams don't even play on Saturday, what a dumb hire
I just read that there is now no one on the coaching staff that has ever called plays in the NFL.

Irsay is a fool. If you value Jeff's opinion why not hire him as a special advisor? A NFL head coach is such a technical job, and his lack of resume is bound to cause issues.

Watched the Bills Vikings last night.
What a game. What a catch by Jefferson. What a perfromance by Jefferson - he's making Kirk Cousins look half decent. It's ridiculous.
OBJ's catch was better for me - but Jeffersons on 4th and 18, at that poitn in the game, was ridiculous. Catch of the season (so far).
NFL is delivering high quality entertainment this year. And playing in Germany, I read the 70k seat stadium got 3,000,000 ticket applications. That is truly ridiculous.
-
i know 1st year coaches never get fired
but
Hackett is fucking getting fired.
Denver are keeping teams to 17 and under every week. We're 3-8 having sold the farm for a new QB. That's fucking disgraceful.
