Recap
Big CatThe Bears will lose to the Vikings on Monday Night Football
No, the Bears are going to lose to the Vikings. Actually, I'm 100% confident in that.
Who Is Back
PFT CommenterThe Raiders are officially back as the 'Bad Boy' team of the NFL
I have the Bad Boy Raiders are back. The team of the 70s. Silver and black... They set a record for most penalties in a game... Al Davis bad boys are in town.
Interview
Mike FlorioNFL ratings are down primarily because the prime time games have been poor
One reality is the games haven't been very good... You're going to have some crappy primetime games. But even Jaguars-Titans... the problem is, more often than not, the primetime games have been crap.
Mike FlorioThe NFL should adopt the college football overtime system to eliminate ties
I wouldn't have a problem with them ripping up the current overtime system and just going with the college approach. That works. The games are exciting. And I don't think anyone's ever complained that the college system is not a good system.
Mike FlorioThe Cowboys will stick with Dak Prescott as long as he continues to win games
If Dak Prescott continues to win games, then the decision is you roll with the hot hand... I think they are going to stick with Prescott as long as he keeps doing well.
Mike FlorioStephen Jones and Jason Garrett make the big decisions in Dallas while letting Jerry Jones be the face of the franchise
When it's time to make big decisions, it's Stephen Jones and Jason Garrett that make the decisions and they otherwise let Jerry think he's running the show.
Mike FlorioThe Vikings will eventually find a spectacular way to blow their season
I know what's going to happen. They're going to find a way to blow it, and maybe in a spectacular fashion... Either way, they're going to find a way to blow it. It's either going to be the offensive line that crumbles... or it's going to be Blair Walsh missing another field goal.
Mike FlorioThe NFL will move to an 18-game regular season within the next five years
There's a chance it will if the NFL makes enough concessions to the union... if there's a way that they can address that issue [player health]... it's going to happen.
Sabermetrics
PFT CommenterLSU will lose this week because Coach O cannot handle the extra time of a bye week
I think LSU's fucked this week. My sabermetrics is you can't give Coach O two weeks to do anything. Coach O has to have a game a week... You don't spend 14 days studying 2 plus 2 equals 4. That's too long to study that.
Connect The Dots
Big CatRoger Goodell is orchestrating NFL ties by having kickers miss short field goals on purpose
These teams are tying on purpose. Roger Goodell has the kickers in his back pocket... There's been five missed field goals in the entire season, 30 yards or less, and two of them happened in the same game [Seahawks-Cardinals]? ... He's going to fix the ties. We're going to get another tie. I'm telling you.
