So Washington/Philly is supposed to be the Sunday Night Football game but Philly is not reportedly sitting most of their starters and essentially handing the game to Washington. I wonder if there will be a schedule swap in this case.

Don’t think they can. Has to be done 10 days in advance I think.

Who says no, though? That is, is it the networks who have to sign off on it? Maybe they'd agree...

I would put Packers / Bears or Rams / Cardinals in there, ideally.

Yup.....the NBC crew will have been in Philly since Tuesday at least.

Its well over 150 people to put that on plus all the equipment and trucks etc that would have to relocate.

After Instagram pics of him being maskless on the town with random women he just met just a few days before testing positive. Such a selfish move, especially when the playoffs are this close.

Just to add even more drama to the situation, because of the day he took the test, if he stays asymptomatic, his first day of availability to return would be next Sunday. So if Saints don't get the #1 seed and play their WC game on Saturday, he can't play. But if it's Sunday, he can play (though he's unable to practice all week leading into it). I'm fully waiting for the Saints to get dished out a Saturday morning Wild Card game ha-ha.

EDIT: Now the entire RB room out for Sunday's game due to exposure to Kamara.

Their whole running back room is out for this game now. Ty Montgomery and I would guess a lot of Taysom Hill to handle those duties. It is the Panthers that they play but a loss here will drop them down to the 3 seed. I think in a 3 way tie with Seattle and Green Bay the Saints would have won out. Still I think the 2 or 3 seed here makes a difference as staying home as opposed to travelling to Seattle in the next round would be much more difficult.

Yep you're right, if Packers lose to Bears (they won't) and Seattle and New Orleans both win, Saints are #1 seed. Funny how the tiebreakers work between the 3: 3 way tie = Saints #1. Only Packers & Saints tied = Pack #1. GB & Seattle tied = Seahawks #1.

I still expect Packers to handle their business vs Chicago; who I could see keeping it close well into the 2nd half - given they're playing for their playoff lives - but in the end A-Rodg just does what he does and ends it.

Same with Trent Brown on the Raiders bye week. Was hanging with people without a mask and the entire OL group had to be quarantined after he tested positive. I don't understand some of these guys as they are getting paid so much money and it's supposed to be a team game yet they go out and socialize breaking all the NFL rules screwing over all their teammates in the locker room as well as the organization that pays him millions. I make a fraction of what these guys are making but if I was in a situation where I was under strict rules by my employer because I could take out an entire business unit you can bet I'm not going to hang out and socialize without a mask. It's just common sense.

Yeah, I would expect Green Bay to win too. But Chicago is playing better, and if the Packers were to have a starter get injured early in the game, they might decide to pull back a bit to lose the fight to win the war type of thing. Rogers has been great and will win the MVP this year. But as Drop it noted above the Packers have lost Bahktiari, and that's a bigger loss than some might recognize. The Packers get lambasted to an extent for not spending first round picks on skill position guys and building house hold names there. But they do have an elite offensive line. Rogers on the year has a 16.5% pressure rate, and has only had two games (Bucs and Panthers) where he had a pressure rate greater than 20%. I also saw that that he's had something like 54.5% of his throws to guys who had more than 3.5 yards of separation from the defender when making the throw. So I don't think it's any coincidence that a guy like Rogers given time and open receivers is going to absolutely shred a defence.

We saw last week that the 49'ers are not going to lay down and give a game away, so it's not a slam dunk win for Seattle either.

On one hand I can see all three teams winning...I can also make up a scenario where they all could lose.

So something in between is completely possible.

Will be interesting to see. Bears are in win or lose if the rams win, but they play at the same time.

If the bears get up early and couple TD’s the packers may start to rest some guys. Especially they beers are getting pressure on Rodgers.

I mean, they might. But they might not. In the 3 games Bahktiari didn't play so far this season Rodgers got sacked a total of twice. His absence might not cost them that much.

Wentz is worth nothing, plans on demanding a trade, and the Eagles think they’ll get “significant” compensation for him. Lurie needs to clean house and can everyone, clown show top to bottom

I mean if they get even a third rounder I'd count that as significant compensation. Eagles definitely have a mess to clean up, but I think we'd all take having a mess to clean up if it came with a ring.

Sure except the entirety of the mess they have to clean is self inflicted and post title.

Yeah, but the group that helped deliver a title is the one delivering the current mess. Take the good with the bad and all that. Plus Howie will be back eventually anyway, Lurie can't quit him.
