    Gary Kubiak is retiring as head coach of the Broncos. Big opening there.

      @canefan Chip Kelly will be pissed, he could have ditched the 49ers back in November to go for the Oregon Ducks job again. Bout time Baalke left, a weasel who took all the credit for rebuilding the 49ers when it was actually the work of his predecessor. Baalke`s inability to draft means it will be tough to find a top GM, unless they're a 49er alumni. Head coach? Maybe see if that Western Michigan coach wants a challenge. He is a former 49er.

      Baalke and York have basically fucked us for the foreseeable future

        Browns lose in OT 27-24 to a Steelers side that was resting its starters. Cleveland guaranteed first overall pick in a pretty weak draft.

          @mimic should be Tom Brady but the NFL will stop that. Can Dak Prescott win MVP but lose Rookie of the year to Ezekiel Elliott?

          I don't think Dak or Zeke should be anywhere near MVP.. They can battle it out for Rookie MVP..
          But yeh, I agree, Brady should win it with his crazy 28:2 TD to INT ratio..
          But because of his suspension, I reckon it might go to Rodgers.

            @mimic All the talk in the media here in North America suggests Rodgers but Brady has been awesome all season, bar the four games he missed due to the stupid suspension. Rodgers only really turned it on in the backend of the season when other teams began to fade (Washington, Minnesota etc).

                Despite the big numbers, Rodgers has been average half the season, so I wouldn't give MVP to him.

                I'm thinking Matt Ryan should get MVP, he's been consistently great through the whole season. He has a ridiculous 9.3 YPA(1st), a 117.1 passer rating(1st), 38TDs(2nd), 69.9% completion(3rd) and 4944 passing yards(2nd). The near 5000 yards for the season is pretty crazy when you think he's 17th in passing attempts this year.

                Besides Brady(who probably won't win due to the suspension), there's really no one else who has played at Ryan's consistently high level this season.

                  Matt Ryan makes the all pro team ahead of Brady.. wasn't even close by the votes..

                  People must be tired of the success of the Patriots.. but something tells me they won't win the superbowl.. they've had an easy run to the playoffs..

                    Ryan deserves it. They're a little unheralded, but shit that team can score. Their playoff run is not weather affected either. They're a huge SB shout

                      Texans and Seahawks with the wins today.

                      It's hard to see the Dolphins get an upset over the Steelers.
                      The Pack vs the Giants should be a humdinger.

                      I'm picking the Falcons to be one and done.

                        Watching Steelers/Dolphins in Toronto. All the Fins fans have left the bar with the score now 30-6. Picking Giants in a close one against the Packers but who knows.

                          Connor Cook did his best Osweiler impersonation for the Raiders yesterday.

                          The Steelers v Dolphins game is on at the moment, and the big 3 for the Steelers are making light work of the Fins.

                          ATL fans didn't even want him back for this season. Just 12 months ago, he was getting booed off the field by fans. He even went to a Hawks game and got booed there too.

                            I watched the start of the Pack v Giants game this morning, and it could have been very different if OBJ hadn't left his hands in Miami...

                                @Sneakdefreak so you're saying pissing up in Miami is NOT the best way to prepare for a playoff game in the Arctic Circle?

                                    Rogers carving up. Is that now 22 TD passes with 0 interceptions in the last 8 weeks? incredible.

                                      College National Championship game today, Alabama v Clemson (II)

                                      Crimson Tide going for two in a row, on the back of an 18 year old freshman quarterback. Clemson quarterback Deshaun Watson is a star. His performance in a losing effort last year was unreal. He better hope he doesn't play too well, or he'll end up at the Browns.

                                        Watson's stocks have gone down a bit this year due to his high INT numbers, but if he has a big game here, his stocks will skyrocket, because this Alabama defense is full of big time talent that will occupy a number of the first round spots in the draft.

                                        The game is a bit one sided at the moment. Bama up 14 - 0 with 10 minutes still left in the 2nd quarter.

                                          stats-wise a pretty even game. Similar numbers for yardage and first downs.

                                          Getting them in different ways though. Alabama with more effective running game, but fewer and shorter passes; Clemson not effective on the run, but their passing game going well.

                                          Then Alabama start the 2nd half with a fumble recovery and a field goal
