Sucks to see the shadow GM go but it was bound to happen unless Lynch took a "promotion". 

Last time Washington plucked from the 49ers it was Vinny Cerrato which worked out hilariously.

May he carry on the tradition.

They actually hired Martin Mayhew three years ago to be the GM. Technically Peters was hired as the head of football ops so it'll be interesting to see if he keeps him on or not.

Sounds like the Panthers are eyeing Brian Johnson from the Eagles - must be wanting Bryce to rack up completions on those WR screens

And somewhat related, it sounds as if AJ Brown has removed all references to the Eagles from his IG

Ah you're right. I still think of Mayhew as a Lions name.

Bills fans will find a way

Bills fan: hah, 65 mph is rookie numbers

How can they even play in that? Seems unsafe

[GhostMachine]

That looks worse than the Ice Bowl already.... 

Under COVID, NASCAR ran some races by having drivers driving racing simulators (a few drivers ended up out due to their machines breaking), and even ran an old track or two that no longer exists. With the announcers calling the races just like they would a real one.

Sadly, I do not see the NFL doing something similar by just having the head coaches and/or coordinators play Madden against each other if the weather is bad.

Madden is not great these days.

I believe this would make it the 4th coldest game in history. If the weather turns slightly colder it'll move into 3rd.

"Should Philly advance"

[gunnar hendershow]

Over in HOU/CLE and Bucs winning as home dogs are the two lockiest locks of the weekend.

[The Buscher]

Bills/Steelers officially moved to 4:30 PM EST on Monday.  League apparently had no real say, Kathy Hochul mandated it couldn't be played as scheduled and Monday afternoon is the only other time they could've done it without messing up the playoff schedule even more.

Assuming the Chiefs and Bills both advance, the Chiefs will now have 2 extra days of rest for their second round matchup.

[Szumi]

That's absolutely the right call and possibly one NFL wouldn't have made.

[gunnar hendershow]

NFL would've decided to move it far too late, if at all.

Trying to manifest this. My ideal Superbowl would be Houston vs. The winner of the Rams/Lions game. Unlikely I know but I want to see some underdogs succeed!

On the plus side, the Steelers stay in the play offs for two extra days. WOOO!
