Dolfan in NYC Posted December 18, 2020 Author Share Posted December 18, 2020 In the wake of the news the lovely and talented @Pete put up in the CFB thread (the all-but condemnation of Aloha Stadium) news I didn't see mentioned at the time, but the Pro Bowl this year will not be played... in person. The game will be 'played' via a weeklong series of Madden '21 streams (I'm guessing with a huge tournament that the winners play on the day the actual game was supposed to be). https://www.polygon.com/2020/11/17/21572260/pro-bowl-2021-madden-nfl-21-ea-sports 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RIPPA Posted December 18, 2020 Share Posted December 18, 2020 Alex Smith has been ruled out for Sunday. Dwayne Haskins will start. I mean Washington is still gonna win the East and neither them or the Giants will win another game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RIPPA Posted December 19, 2020 Share Posted December 19, 2020 Due to COVID protocols - Al Michaels will not call Sunday night's game. Mike Tirico will fill in Joe Davis will fill in for Tirico on the Carolina/GB game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hammerva Posted December 20, 2020 Share Posted December 20, 2020 Congrats to the Bills for finally having another team win the AFC East. And we all know we can thank for that Tom Brady going to Tampa Bay 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GuerrillaMonsoon Posted December 20, 2020 Share Posted December 20, 2020 0-8 now in one possession games with final possession. I really can't stand Bridgewater. I mean Cam showing he's a shadow of what he once was in NE helps the decision, and we've spent money in some great areas. Mariota would have been marginally preferable.

BobbyWhioux Posted December 20, 2020 Share Posted December 20, 2020 no excuse now for the Niners, depleted as they are, to lose today. Let's see how they manage it anyway! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hammerva Posted December 20, 2020 Share Posted December 20, 2020 So Jameis Winston is now out of the game because of being on the COVID list. So if you are a Saints fans you are begging that Hill is serviceable so they don't have to go with Brees I don't know if this has been resolved or not but I read that the Jaguars don't have an active punter for their game. Given how shitty they are I would assume that is a high priority issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hammerva Posted December 20, 2020 Share Posted December 20, 2020 So it seems the strategy for Washington today is to throw a screen pass behind the line of scrimmage and pray. A bold strategy I must say Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hammerva Posted December 20, 2020 Share Posted December 20, 2020 (edited) Oh Cam. More concern about ball safety and less about trying to stiff arm someone. Cam got lucky on that one Dez Bryant with a TD. Last one was 3 years ago I think. Edited December 20, 2020 by hammerva Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
