Apparently Lost references have aged out: The Man Behind the Curtain (Lost) - Wikipedia was the first episode to have flashbacks for Michael Emerson's character. (Fun fact: Jon Gries - the NCR Ranger who gets mind-chipped here - was also in that Lost episode as Emerson's dad.) The point...

I hate The Man Behind the Curtain. Obviously, that actor does well with parts where his alignment is in question, and he was a big actor for his screen time up to this point, but there was nothing - NOTHING - that suggested he was someone in a position of power in the footage so far. Nor is...

Yeah, a ton of Defensive Head Coach hires that I just can't fully evaluate without knowing what OC they get, but there's so many unfilled HC spots that it could be weeks before all the OCs get filled - how many of the Kubiaks and McDaniels get HC spots, etc.

Also, not only are the Bills keeping their GM, he's actually getting a promotion, when you could make the argument this is one of the worst versions of the team recently.

FYI, add another one: https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/47660266/source-bills-fire-coach-sean-mcdermott On one hand, I get it, Josh Allen never making a Super Bowl suggests there's something wrong with the team - but that could just be not having a good enough team, and / or running into...

NFC West-Off has been reinstated. Seahawks over Rams - Seahawks are better than the Bears, though it should be a game. Patriots over Broncos - Even with Nix, I probably would have picked the Patriots, given how little the Broncos won by compared to the Bills' turnovers. With Stidham? Unless the...

Suppose the Bears could get a safety and then score a TD, but this might finally be over. The NFC West-Off cannot be denied. Edit: Or not, that's a great starting field position to score and two-point conversion.

Obviously the strong suit of both these teams are their defenses - but their weakness is also the Oline for both. The Texans' issues are obvious (frankly, its a testament to their defense they got this far with that Oline), but Oine was also the whole reason I didn't see the Patriots as a...

Man, what a goddamn string of luck NE gets this edit: postseason. Warm weather injured 7 seed, warm weather 5 seed in snow, then the 1 seed will be starting a backup QB - and only won by 3 points this week after getting, what, 3 net fumbles? And hell, who even knows if Darnold will be healthy...

I personally am rooting for the Rams at this point (get Stafford another win on his way out), but their odds are long.

Seattle should only have their backup QB in at this point.

Wow, as if this NE / Texans game wasn't important enough, especially if Darnold is limping (literally) into the Super Bowl.

49ers playing way too desperate for this early, unless even they know its a lost cause.

Do people not realize there was a classic power struggle for the Ravens over the last few weeks, and Harbaugh lost? Again, Lamar's cap hit is way too high next year - he either has to be extended or traded this offseason - and Bisciotti and co. decided they were siding with Lamar. Which is why...

It is exactly what it sounds like, and your reaction is correct.
