MNF.... PTG at CIN

I know the Bengals have won, what, 4.5 games under Zac Taylor in almost 2 seasons, but man, they play hard for him, always.

Funny thing is, I actually believe Taylor can be a pretty good coach. They were incredibly competitive with a rookie QB under center. Just one of those teams, much like the Browns, that needs some time and additional youthful talent.

Yup Gipper. Checking the week 17 schedule, there's no SNF or MNF that week. Though there is the possibility CBS could flex the Browns- Steelers game into the 4PM time slot and make it the national game. Currently, that's the Raiders- Broncos.
I believe the NFL did away with the SNF & MNF games a few years ago so no team was at a possible competitive disadvantage heading into the playoffs (short week).
It also wanted to emphasize the importance of Week 17 with playoff spots on the line. Lots of scoreboard watching.
This year may be especially crazy in week 17. A few good teams will be left out.

That is correct but they also put all the games with "meaning" at the same time so there's no advantage or a team not having to play the last weekend because of an earlier result.
Apparently NBC still holds the Sunday night window and could take a game and put it there if they choose to so keep that in mind also. But at the very least it's likely we play in the 4pm eastern time window in week 17.

I will feel better if the Raiders beat Miami on Saturday. Then we are guaranteed a spot and beating the Steelers, assuming they lose to the Colts, will be icing on the cake. Otherwise it might come down to beat the Steelers we're in, lose to them and we are out of the playoffs.

Yea. I am thinking that if it is Browns/Steelers mano a mano for the division title.....that solves the issue of someone taking it easy because of the results of games earlier in the day. And why would they not want that ratings bonanza? I think they used to do that as well in deference to big bowl games....but that may not be the case now.

True dat. The NFL actually has a game Friday: Vikings -Saints
3 games Saturday: Bucs/Lions 49ers/Cardinals and Raiders/Dolphins
But, the next week, Final week: No Friday/no Saturday/no Sunday night/no Monday night games.

Once again, Sunday night football in weeks 17 has NOT been eliminated.
They just don't schedule any games that week until the conclusion of week 16 so the game with the most implications is placed there.

The Jets didn't "Trust The Process".
Neither did Hue...

Is Darnold good enough to be their QB going forward? I'll let ya know what I think on that next week.
Since he's been back after being benched, he's shown flashes, but then comes a WTF play.

Agree... The fail that got them Burrow was manufactured and they simply did not reload enough to pull out of the power dive in time. Unfortunately it was Burrow that was mangled in the crash.
Question now is do they get the good Burrow back? Odds are they do, but they'd better get an OL in front of him STAT!
Makes me wonder how Baker survived 2019...

OK, excuse me for being skeptical- but you're right. Last year the 49ers and Seahawks did play Sunday night week 17.

Drink a can of Skyline? Barf!!! Or their competitor Gold Star Chili- the taste will make you vomit. Drink a Little Kings, a Hudepohl, or the latest Cinci abomination Rhinegeist. For a supposed "craft" beer- it sucks... https://rhinegeist.com/beer/ Give me Great Lakes, or give me death...
