Totals

I'll assume that's Titans.  It also makes me realize how glad I am that Badger doesn't play this game.

And the Niners or Ravens would proudly get rid of Shanahan or Harbaugh and pursue Tomlin they hired Mike Singletary and have Lamar Jackson, they would snatch Tomlin up just like Cowboys snatched McCarthy up after Packers made a silly mistake and fired him and Rodgers said later he regrets it

Nobody on the Packers rejects sacking McCarthy. The difference between him and LaFleur’s offense is night and day. No movement and just going “beat your guy” with ultra conservative play vs lots of love movement and scheming to get players open. It’s the Cowgirls that will regret hiring him. Once again proving you don’t know football.

John Madden, a Hall of Fame coach for the Raiders and an NFL broadcast legend, died at the age of 85. Madden became the namesake for the successful EA Sports video game franchise Madden NFL.

ESPN:

Hall of Fame coach and broadcasting icon John Madden died unexpectedly Tuesday morning, the NFL announced. He was 85

[...]
Madden was only 32 when then-Raiders owner Al Davis hired him to coach Oakland in 1969. Before leaving the sideline for the announcing booth in 1978, Madden led Oakland to a 103-32-7 regular-season record and a victory in the 1977 Super Bowl.

Oakland never had a losing record under Madden, winning seven division titles and making the playoffs eight times.

[...]

But he had gained even more fame as an analyst on NFL telecasts and for the football video game that bears his name -- EA Sports' "Madden NFL." Some players who have graced the Madden cover have struggled the following season, spurring the fan myth of the "Madden curse."

Madden was the winningest NFL coach in history by percentage, slightly ahead of Vince Lombardi.

Tomlin isn't getting fired either.  I was asked what I wanted to happen.

You just want someone to argue with he can become an Assistant coach and leave Pittsburgh and be a coach in waiting Shanahan, McVeigh, LaFlure we're all Assistant coaches to Andy Reid when he was in Philadelphia, I said if he got fired but he can also resign too since this is Big Ben's last year

Baltimore, Niners and Bears all look good since Niners hired Mike Singletary, Lamar Jackson in Baltimore and Justin Fields for the Bears Tomblin would all consider being assistant coach to.

The pollster Crane Husband said it's time to move on from Tomblin

[Amenhotep Bakari-Sellers]

Aaron Rodgers is probably gonna retire and so is Big Ben, Rodgers is gonna get married and have a baby soon


It's Mason Rudolph and Tomlin and LaFlure and Jordan Love, Dan Orvanlowski said Jordan Love ready or not is gonna play next yr

Both Big Ben and Rodgers get 33M a yr and been making that so it's no surprise they're retiring

[Never Made it to Graceland]

Is there no Thursday game this week?

[Amenhotep Bakari-Sellers]

No more since it's the end of the year

[GeorgiaModerate]

Is there no Thursday game this week?

Nope, just Sunday and Monday night games.  And next week (the final week of the regular season) it's all Sunday games.

[Mr. Morden]

And next week (the final week of the regular season) it's all Sunday games.

I believe there actually will be two Saturday games in Week 18.  It's just that the NFL hasn't yet announced which games those will be.  Two currently scheduled Sunday afternoon games will be moved to Saturday, while a third will move to Sunday night:

Thanks for clarifying that.  ESPN's schedule (which is what I use to post the weekly schedule) probably won't be updated until the Saturday games are chosen.

That's the very reason I prefer the Rams to win because this is Rodgers last season he got paid with endorsements 220 M dollars and Steelers are gonna sux without Big Ben and they're gonna go with Mason Rudolph Big Ben and Palomoulu we're the face of the Steelers good luck Packers and Steelers and I don't know how long Brady will go and they might be put out by the Rams we already beat them this year

You never know how much an athlete have saved with endorsements until they retire and then they get paid as an analyst

Jordan Love can be good not Mason Rudolph the Steelers are gonna sux for a long time

[GeorgiaModerate]

Time slot swap from the originally posted schedule: Panthers-Saints will be at 4:25 and Rams-Ravens is at 1:00.
