Well, in response to the question raised in my pre-game post, Jarrett Stidham DID replace Cam Newton vs. the Chargers today...but with the Patriots LEADING by a score of 35-0! Did anyone honestly see this one coming?
While Newton's passing stats were once again minuscule, his 87.4 QB rating was a marked improvement over the previous week's 23.6. Only 69 yards through the air but one passing TD, a couple of rushing TDs, and NO turnovers made for an efficient...yet hardly dynamic...performance. At this point, how you win matters very little.
Special teams and defense set the tone for the Patriots as the Chargers looked completely disorganized and undisciplined on their way to the biggest margin-loss in franchise history. Today's defeat had to be absolutely brutal for those who choose to invest their time in that team (despite being a San Diego-area resident since 1983, I have never supported the Chargers in any way, shape, or form). Better times may be on the horizon, but coaching changes need to be made.

FOX is only showing PIT/WFT to less than half the country. Something to do with DIRECT TV Sunday ticket. Idiots.

The Chiefs are in second in the AFC but are the only team to clinch even though they have the same record as the Steelers, who are first, and have no clinched.
The NFL's numbers, or whatever the hell it is that is used to have teams "clinch" a playoff spot, is ridiculous. Clearly a team with at least 9 wins is in. There are too many teams with too many losses for the top 2 or 3 teams to have not already clinched. At this point anyone with a losing record, 5-7 or 4-8 are not "on the bubble" - they simply are not going to make the playoffs.

Uhh.. Top 4 in each division are automatic. KC has the AFC West + a moon pie

Yes, division winners, and sometimes, division "winner" - Congratulations! You 'won' your division with a 6-10 record and get to host a playoff game while a team with a 10-6 (or 9-7) record didn't qualify!"
The NFL must have THE dumbest playoff set up of all of pro sports in the world!
Chiefs are 2nd in the AFC but have clinched - must be some "strength of schedule" thing over the Steelers.
Of the last 4 games the Steelers face two decent teams - the Bills and the Browns.
The Chiefs last 4 only one game will give them a challenge, at least as of today - the Saints. Chiefs will very likely finish 15-1 or 14-2. Steelers more likely to finish 14-2 or 13-3, which gives KC the bye.
NFC is still too weird yet. Saints, Packers - both have been winning but Green Bay has some very strange games sometimes. Too goofy to figure out who will finish first.

Honestly is there anything better than seeing the Cowboys lose every week?
Clowns had them in the Super Bowl again this season and they're 3 and 9 lmfao.

Jerry Jones' face at the end of every loss is worth the price of admission.

Dallas/SF has been flexed out of SNF in a few weeks for NYG/CLE. Get your affairs in order, this could be a sign of the apocalypse. You have to know Jerry Jones is not a happy camper. That sort of thing can get a coach fired. Of course in Dallas it's unlikely the GM gets the axe. Loving it!

Why is that bizarre ? One team competing for a division title (albeit weakest I know) and the other is currently a 9 win wildcard contending (strongly I may add) team with 2-3 more possible wins to add on resume. Not sure of the bizarre look here.

I am glad. That way I can smoke the Wagyu brisket I ordered on Saturday finishing at 12 or 1 AM or so. Wrap it, let it rest in the cooler and wake to Sunday and enjoy the game. With the original schedule I would have been tending the fire all night.
