NFL to play three games on Christmas this year, one on CBS, FOX then Sunday Night on NBC. The rest of Week 16 will be played on Thursday Dec 22nd and 11 games on Christmas Eve.

Which holiday does everyone want to ignore their family for Football more? Thanksgiving Game or Christmas? I'd rather play on Thanksgiving again as I'm still not over the 2016 Christmas game.

None for the Ravens, that shit's too stressful. Much more fun for me to watch a meaningless game with family.

Oh man my family turns up for ravens games on the holiday. No matter which household I find myself at, it’s a blast. If we win it’s awesome, if we lose we’re still chilling, we got the holiday still.

why did you have to bring up the immaculate stretch game again. I was watching this game on a cruise ship with a bunch of ravens fans and some steeler fans. We outnumbered them and boy did that game hurt.

Christmas days games are great for me. Boxing day in the pool drinking beer, watching footy then Cricket. Lots of ham then a nice nap. Then back into it.
 
Anyone else find the Deebo Samuel trade request strange? The guy will be in line for a MASSIVE contract very soon because of the system he is in and the unique usage there - then he decides to tank his value by saying he doesn't want to do what he's best at. Understandable that he might not want to play RB snaps, but why not risk it one more year and get an insane contract and then say he wants to be WR only. What am I missing?

What would be the logical difference between now and next year in him saying he wants to be just WR? The only difference is he is a year older with more mileage! Explain your rationale, please. I'm missing something.

A lot of his value is in how he's used. Stats look good as a pass catcher but they don't tell the whole story. He's a really good player but his stats would likely look a whole lot different if he's used in the "traditional WR" role that he wants to be used in. He took a lot of screens and other routes/plays out of the backfield.

All I know is our game against Tampa better not be one of the international games, I'll be pissed, I'm planning on going to that one. There are Saints fans hoping their game against the Bengals stays in New Orleans due to Burrow/Chase homecoming.

I don't care if we have to go back to London to face the Jaguars but leave the Bucs game in Tampa.

If you wait until you get the contract and then make usage demands, what recourse does he have when the 49ers tell him they'll use him as they see fit?
He has no leverage at that point.
You make the play now because if you don't get your way, you walk after the season.

I went on a random excursion through the Ravens' FO listing on their website trying to figure out what Anthony Levine's role is. Came up empty there but discovered that apparently Darrius Heyward-Bey works for the Ravens now as a player personnel assistant. That's a blast from the past.

That's pretty cool, good for him. Still cant believe Al Davis selected him over Crabtree

think he's doing lots of different things
EDC said he went down to the senior bowl with them to help with the scouts and helped EDC interview the players - said he would also do some coaching (i imagine once the players are back in the building)

my guess is, if he's going to get a title, it'll be either an intern or quality control type title or even defensive assistant or something like that

a role that allows him to try a little bit of this, a little bit of that and see where he settles
