    Damn, I was hoping for the tie just to see how much Pittsburgh would burn.

    Yes, but people are making way too big of a deal about this, Collinsworth included. It didn’t change anything. The notion that the Raiders were playing for the tie is laughable. They weren’t going to do anything stupid that might cost them the game, but they wanted to win so they could avoid having to go to Kansas City next weekend.

    They were playing not to lose which was prudent.

    Right, they we’re trying to win but weren’t going to jeopardize their season doing so. People are acting like they were going to take a knee before Staley decided to call timeout.

    When they were set up for a run play before the timeout and ran a run play after it. I agree, the outrage over the timeout is based on some very strange assumptions. If they were running the clock out they would have kneeled before that

    Seriously, have we all gotten dumber? Are we all collectively high?

    Controversial take -

    Derek Carr is a Top 10 QB.

    Seems pretty hard to find 10 who are good

    Not in order:

    Rodgers
    Brady
    Mahomes
    Allen
    Herbert
    Lamar
    Murray
    Wilson
    Dak
    Stafford? Burrow?

    I don’t have him top 10 but like JQK said, I’m not going to argue passionately for those last couple guys either

    Not sure if I like Miami firing Flores but keeping the GM.

    I wasn’t watching very closely.I
    I didn’t even know they were avoiding KC. I stand corrected

    I hope they hire Harbaugh and go 0-47,328 for the next 2630 seasons.

    In reality, no matter who they hire we will go 22355-22355 over the next 2630 seasons. It is our destiny.

    Of all the firings that made sense yesterday/today, this is not one of them.

    Being fired sucks but in the long run I'm not sure it's bad for Flores he'll get a better HC job most likely, even if not in this cycle.

    My Top 10ish, by conference, east to west.

    Allen
    Jackson
    Burrow
    Mahomes
    Carr
    Dak
    Rodgers
    Brady
    Wilson
    Murray

    You could argue Herbert and I won't argue back. I've just not watched enough Chargers football to have an opinion on him.

    Feels like Burrow has solidified him in that Top 10. They're still technically in rebuild mode, and they just won the AFC North. And it's the freakin Bengals.

    5,000 yards and 38 TD's. 3rd highest QBR in the league. I think Herbert is firmly a top 10 QB in the league, though a bit inconsistent at times.
