Has Dan Campbell been fired yet? Epic fail.
He?s not going anywhere but Detroit, KC & Baltimore has to be 3 most disappointing teams & KC wouldn?t had made it if Mahomes didn?t get hurt

KC and Baltimore have been injury plagued. There are no excuses for Campbell. He just bombed.

I forgot the exact record, but he had a phenomenal record with Ben Johnson here, and without him it's well below .500 now.

And quite frankly, it's one thing if you're aggressive on 4th and shorts or with playcalling, but even that has to be to an extent. How many times have Detroit passed up on easy points deep in the redzone and then lost a close game at the end? Or sometimes, he'll go for it in a risky spot, not get it and then the other team can have a short field to capitalize on the other end. That's Campbell.

Baltimore has to move on from Harbaugh. It's kinda laughable to me Lamar Jackson is getting blamed and even being put on trade rumors when frankly, it seems the coach's message has grown stale and he's been overrated for a while now. Harbaugh is really just continuing to cash in from the Joe Flacco-Ray Lewis run in 2012, but he really hasn't been elite for a while. He might have even lost BAL the game against NE a few days ago by just sitting Henry in the 4th and then acting like he wasn't aware or it wasn't his decision despite being the HC.

I disagree a bit and think the Lions have gotten hit hard with injuries too. The whole secondary has been decimated and they lost Laporta too. Feel like they have had worse injuries than the Chiefs. Definitely think those same excuses should apply for the Lions. Although I do agree that all three have disappointed even factoring in any injuries.

Lamar missed a quarter of the season and Mahomes had ankle and knee issues before the ACL. Even without Laporta, Detroit still had their starting QB for every game and all their top weapons with Gibbs, Saint Brown, Montgomery and Williams. They put up 10 points in their loss to the Vikings and are in last place in their division. Completely unacceptable and Campbell should be fired for it.

At some point you have to blame the performance on the court on the players on the court. Every loss is not the coach's fault and every win isn't because of the players.

Yeah the Ravens I can see the injuries being worse because of Lamar but we will have to disagree on the Chiefs one. Most players are banged up and their season was over before the major Mahomes injury. I am fine if they fire Campbell because I think he is too aggressive but think he should get another year.

I will say, for Mahomes to be in the GOAT conversation and missing the playoffs entirely in his prime? Yeah I do hold that against him. Brady didn't do that in his prime (once was his ACL tear in Week 1, another was his second year or really the first full season he had), even with subpar rosters and coaching. And the Chiefs defense may be shaky but it's still been one of the more formidable units this season, also 4th in scoring defense this whole season even after last night. And they were 6-8 even before Mahomes' ACL? Brady still reigns.

I may have to side with the fire Campbell camp here. We also have to take into account his recent past relevant Lions years too:

2023- blew a 24-7 lead to the 49ers in NFCCG
2024- blown out at their own home turf as a 1-seed to the 6-seeded Commanders
2025- finally, missed playoffs after two overachieving seasons.

All three of these happened under his tenure

Brady is the undisputed GOAT and not even Mahomes will top him. Brady picked up receivers and running-backs working at local convenience/7-11 stores and made 'em look good even on their unsuccessful years.

Ravens' QB Lamar Jackson has been ruled out just 90 minutes before the game tonight between Baltimore vs Green Bay.

Ravens will be starting QB Tyler Huntley.

Baltimore Ravens are in a must-win road game; a loss will eliminate them from playoff contention.

I turned the LA-Houston game on mid 2nd quarter.  Since then there have been 3interceptions, 3 fumbles, a missed chip shot, and a 22 yard punt.  Though Herbert is running for his life on almost every play, he just threw a TD pass to make it 17-10 Houston. Houston?s offense not doing much. Chargers may have a shot. Oops - just blew a well defended 3rd down with a roughing call.

I'm gonna be honest, the NFL is going to lose me a little in a few years if they start to really go overboard with this Peacock, Prime, Netflix, etc. They show the games locally on cable TV which I'll utilize when the Pats play, but otherwise I have no motivation to watch these other games if I have to pay extra for streaming services

Sure, I can just use the "stream to the east" but ultimately it's just annoying to me that NFL games can't be on cable TV for the holidays or primetime weeks, like you know, how it ALWAYS has been (FOX, NBC, CBS)

I absolutely hate this push to make everything on streaming services. NBA included, with those weeks where you need to utilize like 10 different platforms to watch the games.

It's 2026 unfortunately where everything will eventually be all streaming 😭

Just dumb and dumber

This is impressive from Malik Willis. There definitely aren't 32 QBs right now better than him, he should get a chance with someone next year as a starter especially since there aren't many high end QBs in the Draft either

I dunno what happened but the Colts have been eliminated from playoff contention tonight after starting the season 8-2.

Massive collapse.
