I'll ask this again, to see if anyone knows where eight teams can get new QBs next season
I do not think Palmer, Osweiler and Bortles will be replaced to start 2017. Palmer was elite as recently as 2015, I doubt the Texans will dump Brock after 1 season and Bortles will get another chance with a new HC.

They'll just recycle them amongst each other.

Learn something new every day. Pete Carroll challenged an uncalled hold in the end zone by the TB TE and got it called for a safety. Evidently a new rule this year.

How hard would it be to have a rule that if you commit a penalty during the final 2 minutes of a half, the opposing team can have an option to have the time put back on the clock?
NFL has to do something about this. The Ravens ran at least 11 seconds and probably closer to 20 seconds off the clock doing this. Given that NFL is a copycat league, teams are going to start doing this with 30 seconds or so left. It's going to be such a clusterbomb to watch.

Apparently, Ravens did this in the SB against the 49ers so it isn't his first time doing this. See: http://www.espn.com/blog/nflnation/post/_/id/221611/how-the-nfl-prevents-teams-from-using-penalties-to-win-games

Khalil Mack with a one handed pick 6 of a Cam Newton screen pass. Amazing!

Edit: Ok, it wasn't one handed, but a hell of a play.

What is Rivera doing? Raiders get the 1st at the 6 with 2:20 and he lets it run to the warning?

This Raiders team going to Las Vegas is like Seattle getting Durant and then leaving to OkC

I'm OK with OAK winning. Makes it less likely the Pats will have to play in Denver in the AFC Championship.

I'm just amazed that this awful team is 8-3. I can't get over it.
Huh? The Browns, Bears and 49ers are awful teams. I don't know why you insist on calling the Giants awful. Granted the Giants might not be as good as their record says they are, but to call them awful is taking it a few steps too far. The Giants are not one of the dregs of the league which is what you seem to be implying by calling them awful.

Word is Cutler might end up staying if Fox goes because finding a QB is hard. Dalton is an NFL starter. Kaepernick getting a shot to compete for a job next year if Kelly stays isn't crazy. Browns should be adding one though and are missing from your list and Denver given their roster should go hard after Romo.

It's just hard for KC to operate against a good defense when the safeties don't need to worry about more than 15 yards or so downfield. They need a few great runs off of screens or something to get into the mid-upper teens, feels like.
