He would've had the over 300 yards in returns if not for a bunch of Seattle penalties (that were away from the play) and the all-time one game record. He definitely went out in style and was one of the best Seahawks on the field.

What is up with the blowouts this season? Yesterday's games were decided by 16 and 18 pts and could've been higher if Atlanta didn't take a knee at the 1. In the Wild Card weekend, the closest game was 13 featuring Osweiler and Cook. The others were just as bad. Detroit scored 6 pts, GB won by 25 and Pittsburgh was up 30-6 with 6 mins left in the game.

I thought a 5T was a DE directly over the OT in a 3-4?

I thought this NFL.com article was framed awkwardly, I hope they are being sarcastic: http://www.nfl.com/news/story/0ap300000077...utures-contract

At this point (pre-combine, workouts, Senior Bowl, etc), you have to take Allen.

Cyprien was my #3 FA, so not the biggest or best signing. He is a tackling machine though and would be definitely be an upgrade over what we have right now.

I would say anyone on Alabama would not be considered a sleeper. It would have to be from a smaller program where a guy is way better than his competition but still doesn't get much press.

That is great news about Fangio, don't know if I still want Loggains around though. Does that mean Cutler is back too? Hopefully Mawae gets elevated, great player, and he could teach from experience.

FA #1 - Matt Kalil, OT or Riley Reiff, OT, either would significantly improve our OLine and offense while making a divisional opponent worse. FA #2 - Stephon Gilmore, CB, we need a true #1 Corner, Gilmore would fill that role FA #3 - John Cyprien, S, we need help at Safety, and if we can't get Reed, then Cyprien would be a nice consolation 1. Jonathan Allen, DE/DT 2. Desmond King, CB 3. Antonio Garcia, OT 4. Donnie Miles, S 4. Isaiah Ford, WR 5. Cole Hikutini, TE 7. Andy Phillips, K

Brandon Doughty or Connor Cook?

This is awesome news.

Has anyone watched Barkley's last few games, he threw 10 INTs in the last 3. Most were of the "bad" INT variety. There would be no point to pay him as a backup and expect anything more.

With the standings complete, we now know who we will play next season. For full divisions, we play the NFC South and AFC North, and then the 2 other last place NFC teams, SF and PHI. Home opponents: Detroit Lions, Minnesota Vikings, Green Bay Packers, Atlanta Falcons, Carolina Panthers, San Francisco 49ers, Cleveland Browns and Pittsburgh Steelers. Away opponents: Detroit Lions, Minnesota Vikings, Green Bay Packers, Tampa Bay Buccaneers, Philadelphia Eagles, New Orleans Saints, Cincinnati Bengals and Baltimore Ravens. There is almost no point to go into projections, but at least we miss some really tough teams like NE, KC, SEA, and DAL next year. The only opponents with winning records outside our division are PIT, ATL, and TB. Luckily, we get PIT and ATL at home. So the only teams we play on the road with winning records would be GB, DET, and TB.

I would say because both of those teams are worse off than us. CLE's biggest problem has been QB forever, and SF just fired Chip Kelly and is obviously going in a different direction, so I don't think they stick with Kneelpernick. Either way, I think that all 3 of us (and probably the Jets too) will all have a QB in their top 3 or 4. The odds point to at least one going in the top 2 with us having a option to go for the 2nd QB or 2nd positional player, 1st QB or 3rd positional player, or 1st positional player or 3rd QB.

Rodgers led the league with 40 TDs, and only had 7 INTs and statistically had his best season since 2011 and the 2nd best season of his career after that year, so I don't know what everyone was talking about early on, but he clearly figured it out over the last 6 weeks.

I would say the odds of one being there is about 90% (either SF or CLE taking a QB), and about a 40% chance that both are there at #3 (SF and CLE taking QBs).

Matt Miller? Bleacher Report? Really? There are guys on this board that I trust more than someone like that. There is no way in hell Josh Allen goes in the first 4 rounds of the draft. He started one season (hasn't even declared yet), played inferior talent, barely had a winning record for Wyoming, and lost his last 2 games with 5 TD and 4 INTs. Against Nebraska he threw 5 INTs. I wouldn't draft this guy in any round.

If Cleveland and SF both go QB, he will be there. With Chip Kelly fired in SF, the new coach may want a new QB, so QB going 1-2 is very likely.

Rarely do 3 win teams go to the playoffs the next season unless they lost a franchise QB all year or something along those lines. We were decimated with injuries, but even with those guys, there is no telling how much better we would've been. I think a 7 to 8 win season is the most likely ceiling for next year. Playoffs, especially in the North where Minnesota didn't make it, and GB and DET both made it, is going to be a challenge going forward.

Garrett or Allen, I would be happy with either, but I lean towards Allen at this point.

With the first round of Bowls over, who should Bears pick at #3? Your top choice.

After seeing how Trubisky and Watson played in the bowl games, I am no longer high on them. I never thought Kizer was worth the 3rd overall pick. I really like Allen and Garrett and based on the needs in front of us, we will have the opportunity to grab Allen or Garrett, which would be awesome. I am good with either of those players at #3 over any of the QBs at this point. My only concern was Garrett was a ghost in the Bowl game he played in (1 tackle). I think he was playing not to get injured.

Since we tied with JAX at 3-13, we will rotate with them between picking 3rd and 4th per round, so our first 3 picks should be #3, #36, and #67. If SF somehow won against SEA, we would lose the SOS tie breaker with them, but would pick 2nd in the 2nd at #34 and get #68 in the 3rd with the 3 team rotation of CHI/JAX/SF.

Howard currently 2nd in the league in rushing at 1,313 yards and only other RB than Elliott over 1,300 yards. Johnson only RB left to play that can pass him with 80 yards.

Barkley just played himself out of the league with his recent play. Now a fumble returned for a TD.
