Maybe it was me, but I really felt that this past weekend of games left much to be desired. None were really competitive, scoring was one sided and there seemed to be a general lack of excitement to keep the casual fan interested. Contrast this with CFB on Monday and the wild card weekend was quite stale. To me the number of marginal players and poor coaching seem to be at an all time high. I am curious how others saw the games but I frankly was bored and I consider myself an NFL addict. Is the product just not as good or am I being too harsh a critic?
Usually the WC games are pretty....wild. There is usually one or even two historically wacky games that weekend that end up etched into NFL lore. Not this year. Next weekend should be good....assuming Dallas gets their clocks cleaned. I pray.
Houston is garbage and won because Oakland had a rookie with no experience playing
Detroit is useless
We collapsed
There's a reason, as much as we hate the calls so often, that the league bends over backwards to keep the starting QBs on the field.
We saw this weekend what happens when QBs get hurt - the backups are vastly inferior talents, and they dont have the timing reps with the receivers either.
Carr
Tannehill
..and Stafford playing at 70% (Lions/Hawks also would have been closer had it been a professionally officiated game)
Belichick - Hi Terps.
Terps - could you shed some insight on how you and your staff have adjusted to the new CBA or how you have mitigated the struggles in dealing with the CBA?
Belichick - we're focused on Houston.
Terps - I drove 900 miles from my house to conduct this interview.

Terps - you're a dick wad.

The league should continue to protect the QBs physically but bring back the pre 2004 rules on DB coverage on receivers.
