It’s the least interesting round of the playoffs by far. Partially because it’s only one game, but mostly because like you said it’s more about the spectacle than it actually is about football.
This year's game was a throwback to how the a lot of Super Bowl's were in the 80s & 90s.
Yeah you’re not wrong, there have still been plenty of great games, I just agree with GII that the game just feels less about football than it does the cultural event for Rich people.
I agree with all of that.
What I liked about the Eagles in the playoffs is they destroyed people. They dominated the teams they played.
Having a Metallica/Tool/Rage Halftime show would go a long way towards giving this event back to the people.
Musical tastes are so different. I mean, my wife still likes 80's disco dance music. Maybe 1/2 country and 1/2 pop or contemporary. I don't know answer but you will never satisfy even 50% of audience.
Yesterday was the 1st Halftime show since they started going big time that I couldn't name 1 song. Zero chance.
I've been begging for something that's not rap/hip hop/country for years now, but I realize I'm probably in the minority.
If it's ever going to be Metallica, I would think next year is the best chance since it's in Santa Clara, CA and they are from the Bay Area.
A fine strategy I think. Get something for him. Or if you have to, throw him in and reap the 2nd season rewards granted by familiarity.
That was my first thought as well which is why I was perplexed hearing it from the rumor guys. I suppose there is value to another team not having to outbid other teams in FA.
No Dubay takes lately?

Hopefully but there's some talk that someone like Cleveland or Tennessee might offer him a chance to start.
If Darnold is back, there's no chance. If he's not back, I think the Vikings make a strong push to bring him back and he signed with us last year for a reason IMO.
The deal to trade him would be worked out prior to them using the franchise tag.
