Wait what the Pats are 1-and-done in the wildcard round?
Minnesota will face San Francisco
Finally, get your NFL Draft visions going- Alabama's Tua Tagovailoa has declared for the 2020 NFL Draft. I wonder who will pick him up and how he will do in the NFL.
The Panthers are apparently signing Baylor coach Matt Rhule to a 7yr $62M deal which includes a signing bonus and incentives for playoff wins and Super Bowls. Unsure about signing a rookie coach to such a long deal but looking forward to seeing what he brings to the Panthers. As much as I did like Ron Rivera, a change was needed.
I meant to hype up the Division round, but our lovely GTPlaneteer MoLiEG offered takes on each of the games. Here are the Division rounds in case you want to make your own predictions:
* MIN Vikings at SF 49ers
* SEA Seahawks at GB Packers
* TEN Titans at BAL Ravens
* HOU Texans at KC Chiefs
So, that Tom Brady guy? Yeah... he's a free agent now. The New England Patriots' playoff fail to the Tennessee Titans make it seem like the dynasty is over at long last. T. Brady says he wants to go play up to age 45 or so. Here in Houston, one radio show suggested there are two places Brady could land if he doesn't sign with the Patriots- the Los Angeles Chargers or the Jacksonville Jaguars. Even at Brady's advanced age, teams would kill to have Tom Brady as part of their QB rotation, even if as a third-string QB or a Practice Squad QB. I kind of joked that Tom Brady would probably get signed with the Cincinnati Bengals since the Patriots illegally taped the Bengals' sideline earlier this season. Anyhow... Tom Brady is on the market, baby!
Jason Garrett out, Mike McCarthy in. The Dallas Cowboys' new head coach is McCarthy after a long affair with Garrett. Mr. McCarthy is hoping to turn around the misfortunes of "America's Team." Mike McCarthy goes from coaching the Carolina Panthers to the Dallas Cowboys.

That's all. Chat away about the NFL, mates!
I would be afraid of picking him with even a late first round pick. He's got to go from crutches to showing he's maybe 75% of what he was within a couple of months or so. IMHO, he's too fragile to play in the NFL. Like I said a few months ago, the last two big games he was in, the 2018 SEC Championship and the National Championship game, he wasn't very good getting pulled in each one of them.
I hope I'm wrong and he has a long successful NFL career because he's a legend at the University of Alabama.
Always glad to participate here with you guys
In my mind, Tua went from being a Top 5 pick all the way to the 2nd round, maybe a late 1st round. His injuries are a big red flag. I would even go as far as letting him rest and learn for a full season before considering him for a starter role.
If healthy, Tua is as good or even better than Joe Burrow. but man, that hip. It's a proven fact that all it takes to turn a player's career for the worse is one hit. If I were the GM of the Lolphins or any team in need of a Qb, I'd take a deep, deep dive before pulling the trigger for him.
Maybe I'm biased but that hit on Wentz last night should have been called. 🤬
Just how awkward would it be if the Titans with Tannehill at QB, made it to the Super Bowl in Miami?

Go Titans.I guess I have to put faith in what the Giants execs saw in our new HC. I'm hopeful, but also a realist, so I'll believe it when I see it.
Vikings won't win it all if Theilen is out, especially against the niners. I just don't see anyone beating the Ravens, especially if Ingram is back.
