You had the 4 best teams playing in a semifinal and the first game was an absolute snoozefest and the second game was filled with bad play and bad officiating. Most of the national headlines I am seeing today are about officiating and blown plays and not the actual games.

NFL needs to tweak for the audience again. So little game action over 4 hours.

I wonder what the NFLPA's view on emergency quarterbacks is. Generally, players' unions are in favor of more roster spots for obvious reasons. But, the same reasons players' unions don't want big practice squads would seem to apply here (namely, that a team locking up an "emergency" quarterback might keep that guy from jumping into a better situation when it opens up).

I suspect you'll see something on this over the offseason - I agree that it's bad business (not to mention dangerous) for a team to essentially play without a quarterback.

Yes, that's a good point. There does need to be something done about that. Super Bowls can get ruined just as easily by that.

It's just very complicated, including because (more than any other position) quarterbacks have the secret sauce. There are very good competitive reasons for not wanting there to be a lot of turnover at the position.

It's time to just axe this thing.

One of my least favorite coaches paired up with one of my least favorite fan bases. They'll be easy to root against for awhile.

Brock might be out a full year. Who knows what happens with Jimmy G. No idea what you're getting with Trey Lance.
