NFL Gameday Week 9 • Page 3

each team gets 1 TNF game throughout the year I believe

 

Had no idea. I guess that excuses it. From a ratings perspective, I can't imagine matchups like Jacksonville/Tennessee do much to keep enthusiasm for the weekend schedule high.

 

there you go.

 

Doesn't help that 90% of the league has been unwatchable garbage this season.

 

Steve Smith, Terrell Suggs, Marshal Yanda, CJ Mosley and Ronnie Stanley all active today for the Ravens.

 

Of course they are LOL Ben gonna get reinjured and continue the misery

 

The road to 8-8 begins here.

 

Yep. Though they dont get priority to pick who they get. SNF gets first pick, MNF 2nd, and CBS/FOX pick their national games...then TNF gets selected. And they prioritize division matchups over interesting pairings, which means we get games like CLE/BAL and JAX/TEN that look awful both on the field and on paper.

Doesnt help that the game that looked great on paper (NE v HOU) sucked. Basically only CAR v NO and DAL v MIN left to save them

 

Now I'm kind of curious if any team has ever started 0-8 and finished 8-8, or at least what's the largest winning streak to finish a season by a team that didn't end up with a winning record.

 

Was thinking of the Skins team that was 3-7 and made the playoffs, but they ended 9-7.

 

Fisher did have that Titans team that started 0-6 and Fishered to an 8-8 finish.

 

Titans were 0-6 and finished 8-8, that's the most I've seen so far

Beat me to it ^

 

Hilariously...this is the answer...twice

2006 Tennessee Titans...of Vincent Young fame. Started 0-5, got to 2-7, 6 game win streak to get to 8-7, and then of course, being a Jeff fisher team, they had to go 8-8 by losing their final game

2009 Tennessee Titans...start 0-6, win to 5-6, then end 8-8

 

While I don't think this Browns team is as bad as their record indicates, I wouldn't worry about them turning it around. haha

 

Fly Eagles Beat the Giants

 

Cam Erving ejected. Good start!

 

Not a good start

 

Ravens offense looks so much better already with Yanda and Stanley back

 

Favrepatrick

 

That interception by Wentz was gross.

 

Pedersen is setting Wentz up for failure.

 

Trying not to watch fox even though it's definitely the better game blaj

 

Hey look, Terrell Suggs is still a piece of shit

 

Jesus Christ Wentz.
