I think about what Lawrence and the Jags did last week and I cannot conceive of this Cowboys team ever, ever, ever coming back from that big of a deficit in the second half.  I doubt they would even have scored more than 1 TD in that situation.

Sounds like Pollard fractured his fibula and will need surgery.

I hate to say it, but neither one of these teams are beating Philly next week. 😕

This 49ers defense typically has issues with mobile QBs so I wouldn't be surprised but I also wouldn't be surprised if their pass rush is just better for seemingly no reason against a better line. 

Gonna be quite the battle, though and I think it's at least appropriate that it's these two teams in the NFCC Game. 

I have no idea what to think of the 49ers QB situation except for I'm just enjoying the ride.

Purdy is your starter next year for sure.  You keep Lance around on the off chance this year was a fluke, but I see him getting shipped off as soon as another team’s starting QB goes down.

The thing with Lance is SF has a good chunk of dead money if they get rid of him next year. 2024 is a moot point, same cap hit on the roster or not.

The reason I know this is Raven fans have toyed with Lance as our "well if we have to" guy to go trade for, but SF can't reasonably get rid of him next year. So he'll sit it out behind Purdy, if Purdy comes back to earth maybe replace him. Honestly a good place to be if you're SF.

I'm more interested in what happens with Jimmy G. Raiders? Bucs? A back up somewhere? Depending on what kind of contract he wants, 49ers could potentially sign him as a third string QB.  As upset as I still want to be at the Lance pick (unless Lance wins a Super Bowl, I will never get over drafting him instead of Chase or Parsons), we are in a great spot at QB.

[gunnar hendershow]

The 49ers were never trading up if not for Lance. The domino effect from their desire to get him has been pretty amazing. 

[LL!]

I honestly do love the Brock Purdy story. I think that the Eagles are too good to allow the 49ers to beat them, but would love it if they won and went to the SB. At this point I'm hoping it's Bengals vs 49ers and I'd be happy with either team winning.

Jimmy G to the Jets makes too much sense to not happen.

Yeah this is where I see him. Gives the org a year or two to find a long-term fix while having a decent enough QB where they might end the playoff drought.

Shocked he wasn't named Defensive Line Coach or something.

New York, NY --- The NFL today announced the pregame entertainment lineup for the Super Bowl LVII in Arizona, which will be played at State Farm Stadium on Sunday, Feb. 12 and broadcast on FOX.

Acclaimed musician and songwriter Chris Stapleton will sing the national anthem. An eight-time Grammy, 15-time Country Music Association and 10-time Academy of Country Music award-winner, Stapleton is one of the country's most respected and beloved musicians.

Twelve-time Grammy Award-winning recording artist, songwriter and producer Babyface will sing "America the Beautiful." Babyface has produced and written 125 Top 10 hits, 44 No. 1 R&B hits and 16 No. 1 pop hits.

Emmy-award winning actress, Sheryl Lee Ralph, will sing "Lift Every Voice and Sing." Ralph is also a Golden Globe nominee, Critics Choice Winner, Tony Award nominee, NAACP Image Award nominee and Independent Spirit Award winner. She can currently be seen starring in smash hit, comedy series "Abbott Elementary." Ralph has become a staple in the entertainment industry, with an acclaimed career spanning over three decades.

On behalf of the National Association of the Deaf (NAD), renowned actor and Arizona native Troy Kotsur will perform the national anthem in American Sign Language (ASL). For his acclaimed work in the movie "CODA," Kotsur became only the second deaf person ever to win an Oscar, in the category of Best Supporting Actor. Colin Denny, a deaf Native American, will sign "America the Beautiful," and is a proud member of the Navajo Nation in Arizona. Deaf performer Justina Miles will sign "Lift Every Voice and Sing" and also provide the ASL rendition of the Apple Music Super Bowl Halftime Show.

To commemorate 50 years of women flying in the U.S. Navy, the service will conduct a flyover of State Farm Stadium during the national anthem with female aviators as part of the formation. The formation will be composed of an F-35C Lightning II from the "Argonauts" of Strike Fighter Squadron (VFA) 147, two F/A-18F Super Hornets from the "Flying Eagles" of VFA-122, and an EA-18G Growler from the "Vikings" of Electronic Attack Squadron (VAQ) 129.

The NFL previously announced that international icon, Rihanna will headline the Apple Music Super Bowl Halftime Show, which will be produced by DPS with Roc Nation and Jesse Collins serving as executive producers, and Hamish Hamilton serving as director.

Babyface? Sounds like a good guy.

[The Buscher]

I would laugh so hard if the Jets hire Hackett to lure Rodgers only for him to stay put.

[GhostMachine]

Sadly, AFC doesn't mean "Australian Football Champions" (whoever they are), in this case....

• BEARS GET: The 4th overall pick (which is used on taking Alabama pass-rusher Will Anderson), Indy’s 2nd round pick (35th overall), the Colts’ 3rd-rounder (79th overall), and a 2024 1st-round pick.
• COLTS GET: The 1st overall pick (which is used to choose Kentucky QB Will Levis) and a Bears 4th-round selection (pick No. 102)

Saw this hypothetical and I mean it looks good to me. This a realistic haul and do you think it could happen?

I think the copy & paste formatting was a bit unfair to you there. Can't read it.

Yeah on mobile it's a mess but desktop it's fine. It's a solid trade.
