This is the team that drafted four WRs in 2016!
And we complain about Ozzie Newsome... Bc

LOL, the NFL (for all it's flaws) is still making billions and drawing fan attention. There are ups-and-downs in sports, but NFL football is still the major draw... Bc
P.S. - perhaps your constant negativity is ruining your standing as a poster (?)

more disinformation. If you're going to make up numbers you should have said 25%

It's not being mad at the players. They split the revenue pie. Are they willing to take less without sharing in the $900 million the NFL gets from TV and the additional $50 million the NFL gets from Amazon for Thursday night games?

I have no problem with the players not wanting to play in these games but the cap then has to shrink accordingly.

So many bridges, so little time.

I’m still on the extra bye week train. You satisfy the players by getting them more time off to address injuries, you get an extra week of revenue and watching football because it would be 18 weeks rather than 17 weeks of football, and I think you’d get to see more high quality Thursday night games given that both teams would be well rested.

I think this is what it will be. I'm honestly surprised it hasent happened already seems like a win win for everyone

If I'm Baltimore, I make a move for Rashard Higgins, see if Cleveland will let him shake loose. At the very least, look into it during the off-season.

I think this would be a good idea as well.

Agreed. But I wouldn't expect Hollywood to be a #1 WR, just solid depth.

Even more so at WR, I want the Ravens to take a hard look at Donte Moncrief this off season.

That said, typical Steeler game. They win so many games they shouldn't.

- Indy going to lose
- Jets lost to the Bucs
- Bills got stomped by the Saints
- Titans losing to the Bengals
- Jags losing to the Chargers

the AFC is awful

They always make the big play when they need it the most
