I'm thinkin' AR doesn't want to play the Niners.

He doesn't if his pass protection is as suspect as the Cowboys is.

It'll probably be a short week for the 49ers with the game in Green Bay on Saturday. The NFL will coddle Brady and give him a full week of rest by putting Tampa's game on Sunday.

---

Called it.

Actually, Tampa had to play Sunday since they are playing the winner of tomorrow's Rams/Cards game. Nice try on your conspiracy theory….

Dak Prescott <=> Kevin Riley

Could be old news by now, but McCarthy said the last play was by *design* -- but he was surprised they didn't get another snap in.

The Cowboys have now gone 11 straight playoff appearances without reaching a conference championship game.

That’s the longest streak by any team in NFL history.

Completely stupid to play a night game in Green Bay in January. Temperature at game time will probably be 5 degrees, and I wouldn't be surprised to see snow.

Dak screwed up and gave the ball to his center to place it instead of the ref. For obvious reasons, players can't spot the ball themselves. By the time the ref got through the line and spotted the ball, it was too late. Get the ball to him in the first place and they probably do get one more play.

It has been done before…

Heck, they played a night game in Buffalo on Saturday where the temperature was 6 degrees.

This is no big deal. Put on a parka if you are cold.

Very late to the Niner OC Mike McDaniel curiosity train. Degree in History from Yale, where he played. Smart dude who comes across like a quirky Berkeley grad student. He does not look like other coordinators.

Sure it's been done before, but it's stupid to do it when you don't have to. Why not play the Cincinnati-Tennessee game in Nashville at night and the SF-Green Bay game in the afternoon.? It's not likely to be 5 degrees at 8:00pm in Nashville. I won't be in Green Bay on Saturday, so I don't need a parka.

TV drives it. CIN-TEN is expected to get the worst ratings. They don't want that as a prime time game. So we get freezing Lambeau instead.

Obviously they want their best game on at that time. If it snows, great!!! It's Green Bay. Playoffs. Adds to the atmosphere. TV loves it!!
By the way, I want anyone but Brady to win it all.

Of the 4 matchups, the Bills-Chiefs and Packers-49ers are the most compelling.


The NFL has to have one AFC game and one NFC game each day of the divisional round.


They wouldn't have their 2 most compelling matchups on the same day.

So that means 49ers-Packers has to share a day with CIN-TEN.

But the way TV viewing goes, there are more people available to watch TV during the primetime hours than during the daytime hours.

Which is why, obviously, you want your most compelling matchup on during primetime.

So you couldn't have 49ers-Packers play at noon (PT) or 1:35 (PT). That would be dumb if you want to maximize viewership.

As for the comfort of the crowd, well, of course the NFL considers the health and safety of its attendees to be of utmost importance.

Jalen Hurts is demanding accountability from the NFL and Washington Football Team after fans fell from the stands near him.

And as has been mentioned, the Tampa game (vs either LA or Arizona) probably has to happen on Sunday since LAR-AZ is on Monday Night. There's a decent argument that any Tom Brady game is a ratings draw and thus could have anchored the Saturday schedule, but since that's locked in for Sunday, SF-GB has to go on Saturday.

Best fan sign I saw: Home freezer advantage.

They started dating in 2011 when she was a college student at George Mason and he was TE coach. OnlyFans was founded in 2016.

McVay has come a long way since that first time he asked for a Christmas card as a TE coach.

If a single BI poster will stand up for Joe Buck calling premier NFL games I will stand down. Until then I will continue to be physically pained by his voice and think my opinion is universal. He needs to move on, even though he is in Canton for broadcasting.

I used to dislike Buck but now I think he's good. He's shed a lot of his sanctimoniousness over the years and seems to have found a sense of humor.

Thank you, sycasey. I'll do a hard reset but he triggered me this year by always stating that Goff was "still winless without Sean McVay." I'll try to have an open mind.

Buck was really good as a guest host on Jeopardy last year. Surprisingly so, IMO, because I think he's just okay as a football PxP guy. I'd rather listen to Buck over Nantz any day, but Buck wouldn't make my top 5 if I ranked football PxP announcers.

This a horrific takedown of Buck by a very stoned Artie Lange. I think Buck is a top broadcaster but he fails to wrap it in humility like Jim Nantz does.

Regardless, I don't approve of what Artie did…..but it was epic:

That show is 13 years old. Joe Buck has changed quite a bit since then.

(Also, Artie was really drugged out at this point in his life and was fired from the Howard Stern Show months later.)
