Spending time on a Sunday watching pretty much stress-free football the day after a big Lions win is neat. Yes, it is nice for some of these results to go the Lions ‘ way, but even when they don’t it’s not the end of the world

Bears dropped the game winning TD. Entire NFC North lost except the Lions.

If the Bears trade Fields, they are the dumbest team in the NFL.      Please trade him, send him to a new division.

Bills up 14 on the Cowboys

Cardinals within a point of the 49ers

Cowboys should have made adjustments at halftime. 🤷🏻‍♂️

I'm old enough to remember when TP said how good the Cowboys play calling was...

[Motown Bombers]

That stampede you hear is the national media jumping off the Cowboys bandwagon and running for the Lions bandwagon.

INT for Dak. Here we go.

All-time bad clock management by the Commanders. Down 28-14: they get 1st and goal at the Chargers’ 1 with 4:47 to go. 6 plays later, they hit the 2 minute warning with 2nd down at the 3. 

Update: on the 9th snap since getting it to the 1: they finally score the TD but now only 1:45 to go.

The Bills have to be the most enigmatic team in the NFL, you see games like this and you think to yourself that they could be legit SB contenders, then they'll have a week where they lay an egg against a team with a backup QB or something. On top of that they have one of the best point differentials in the league yet are only 8-6 after today.

Cowboys are a totally different team on the road. At home, they're unbeatable.

Trevor Lawrence can’t create with his legs. When the pocket breaks down he coughs up the football.

The amount of hype surrounding him as a prospect created expectations he was never going to be able to meet in Jacksonville.

[Motown Bombers]

Lawrence hasn't been successful without Pederson.

Not elite. Bust. Jax should draft someone more mobile. Like Patrick Mahomes. Or Tom Brady. 😂

The 10-4 Cowboys have only had 4 games decided by under 20 points. Five wins of 30+ points. Beat Philly by 20.  But lost by 32 to SF and now 21 to Buffalo. Not to mention double-digit loss to lowly Arizona.

Nothing new for Ron Rivera.  One of the worst game managers ever.  Can't believe he's still there.     Reminds me of Jim Caldwell - good at getting his teams prepared for the game and then mismanaging the game itself

The play with the "late hit" on Dak.....................HE DOVE OVER HIM, HE BARELY TOUCHED HIM !    Guess that's what happens when you get your arse kicked.

My issue with Caldwell was that when the games mattered most, the team came out flat. There was no inspiration and the season was monotonous.

The game that always stuck out to me about his tenure was Week 16 of his final season. We went into Cincinnati at 8-6, playing a bad Bengals team at 5-9, needing a win to have a shot at the playoffs. We should have wanted it way more and we should have been the better team. But we just came out flat and lost 26-17.

Dan Campbell already has more wins against winning teams than Caldwell.
