I'd like the Bills to finally win the SB.
If the 49ers don't win it I'm happy to see the Bills finally win one
Same here.

I’m not. Only because they would have to beat the Bengals to do so.

Wins for Kansas City and Philly today.
Kansas City will be sweating on the health of Mahomes - looks like he has a high ankle sprain.
Eagles are going to be very tough to beat next week - absolutely dominated the line of scrimmage on both sides.
The two games tomorrow should be classics.

Lined up to watch them on holiday... TV day with my boy. Bills Bengals looks better... Unless the o line for Joe falls apart.
Can't wait

You gotta wonder whether the Bills minds were in the right place given what had happened and how that game played out.
Things get tougher now though. Allen's cap hit almost doubles next year. Obviously there are options to shift than but that just means pushing it in to later years.
In reality the cap doesn't cost teams their star players but the quality of depth players and lower level starters which means teams become top heavy and get that Jekyll/Hyde dynamic where they're reliant on two or three players and if even one of them has an off night the whole team can break down.

Cripes that 49ers game took years off of my life.
Two elite defenses going at it.
Cowboys dominated the line of scrimmage in the first half but as the second half rolled on the 49ers began to dominate those areas.
Eagles will be a huge challenge but have to enjoy eliminating the Cowboys.

So Frank Reich goes to the panthers. For a guy who just left a team with a shitty quarterback situation, he hasn't really chosen a great landing spot but head coaches who got sacked midseason can't be too fussy.
Jets announce Nathaniel Hackett as their offensive coordinator. An interesting choice given that he had Russell Wilson this year and couldn't make it work.
Lots of speculation that this is a sign that the Jets are making a serious run at Rodgers. I don't buy that. At least I don't buy that this move is specifically for that. Firstly, all the same rumours were flowing last season when Hackett was hired by the Broncos and nothing came of it. Secondly, Hackett has worked with Saleh in the past so I suspect that they see something in him. I don't know what it is, other than being lucky enough to be coordinater to a first ballot hall of fame QB.
That said, I do think the Jets are in on Rodgers though. I suspect that they have three plans. One is is Rodgers, one is Derek Carr and one is a veteran free agent (Jacoby Brissett maybe). I expect them to leak all three stories a bit over the next few weeks to try and maximize leverage for whichever of those is plan A. Probably Carr.
Looks like Mike Lefleur, the Jets sacked OC is going to land Sean McVay's OC job. That means he'll have had a senior role in both Shanahan and McVay's organisation and virtually guarantee him a shot at a HC role if McVay can get the Rams to bounce back next year.
Broncos, Cards, Colts and Texans all still open, Sean Payton to Broncos was the hotness for a minute but that's cooling. The saints own his rights and were apparently asking for a lot.
I wonder if this is Eric Bienemy's year.

If he doesn't get a chance something stinks

Blow the whistle, this one is over. 4th & 2 and you run that play? Yeah nah. His elbow is cooked and he can’t throw it. Shame about the injuries.
Lessssgoooooo Eagles

Brutal for the 49ers to lose both QBs to injury. There defence collapsed too - lots of stupid penalties and mental errors. Dunno if that was a result of the pressure from the scoreboard and missing QBs or the occasion (or maybe a bit of everything).
There used to be a rule that you could dress a third QB without it being counted against your active roster. I wonder if they bring that rule back after this.
Playoffs have been a bit disappointing this year, lots of blow outs. Hopefully Bengals-Chiefs is better.

I think if Purdy stays healthy 49ers win that game.
Eagles defence is well known but I think our underrated offensive line creates massive problems for opposition defences. Would’ve been closer…

Aside from the first drive (which Eagles got lucky with an incomplete pass being missed by the refs/cameras/49ers failing to challenge) the 49ers defensive line was outplaying the Eagles O line for most of the rest of the half.
