NFL 2021

Unless Big Ben sits because he's already had the perfect send-off  

[gunnar hendershow]

Pittsburgh is still in the playoff hunt, so I can't see that happening.

[Lineker]

I mean technically they are, but is it actually remotely likely?

[gunnar hendershow]

Beyond winning next week, they need the Jags to beat Indianapolis basically. The other part of it is that Vegas and LA don't tie which while hilarious is not happening.

[The Buscher]

Imagining a scenario where the Chargers and Raiders just kneel the whole game to enormous boos and "bullshit" chants.  Then one of them draws up a fake kneel down pass play at the very end of the game which goes for six and screws their rival out of the playoffs.

The Washington Football Team is going to announce their new name on Feb 2. They've said it won't be Wolves or RedWolves. However it was noted to me this does not exclude Red Wolves.

[The Buscher]

Supposedly they aren't going with any variation of Wolves because of difficulties with trademarks.  They went out of their way to announce this a month early because they knew it was the most popular choice.

Anyway the other seven finalists were:  Armada, Brigade, Commanders, Defenders, Presidents, Red Hogs, or Washington Football Team

I'm willing to rule out all but the final two.  They're making the announcement on Groundhogs Day, so Red Hogs would seem to be the new favorite, unless they want to tie in with the movie and just announce WFT again.

I feel like having a special announcement to make WFT the team's name would be an especially hilarious let down

Kinda like that WFT guard rail let fans down.

[gunnar hendershow]

The Washington Defenders would be appropriate for their eventual move to the I-66 corridor.

[Lineker]

WFT is the best of that bunch by far.

Mike Glennon needs hand surgery, so Jake Fromm will get another start for the Giants in their season finale with undrafted Brian Lewerke backing him up.

Surely this has to be the end of the road for Glennon's career.  Some backups hang around forever but he's been absolutely terrible any time he's been forced into duty and hasn't won a game since 2017.  Presumably ends his career 6-25 as a starter, worst winning percentage in history of any QB with at least 25 starts.

[gunnar hendershow]

There's always a place for below average vets who can pick up a playbook quickly, see Colt McCoy or Case Keenum for examples. But Glennon has just been bad, like always. It's incredible his career has lasted as long as it has. 

[The Buscher]

It boggles my mind that the Giants didn't just keep Colt.  You can't really expect a backup to win, but at least get someone who doesn't disgrace themselves.  I mean he went to Seattle and won a game on the road last year, albeit the defense had to stand on its head.  He managed the game, Glennon can't even do that.  Moreover, the Giants rushed out to sign Glennon on day one of free agency.

Speaking of free agency, barring the unforeseen circumstance of the Giants finding the end zone, Kenny Golladay will score zero touchdowns in his first year after signing for $72 million.

[GhostMachine]

If Washington goes with Defenders, they'd better consistently have one of the top defenses in the league, or they will be reamed bigtime.

I'm all for naming them the Washington Whatthefucks, but that obviously won't happen.

[Maxx]

If the WFT subreddit to to be believed, there's a trademark filing for Washington Groundhogs.

McCoy won two games for the Cards this year too, with one horrible loss. 2-1 and I'm pretty sure he didn't have Hopkins at all in that run either, which makes it even dafter that the Giants didn't keep him.

That's brilliant, because for Washington fans every year will feel like the same suffering over and over again.

[gunnar hendershow]

If there's a franchise I trust to accidentally leak the logo, name, and uniforms by accident before 2/2 it's the Washington franchise.

[GhostMachine]

Dan Snyder probably should be facing lawsuits, if not criminal charges, so...

Washington Defendents?
