The NFL Thread - Root for your favorite team (or laugh at the Browns, whichever's easier)

[InteracialBowelSyndrome]

I don't know what to make of the Seahawks at this point. We lost to a Cardinals team minus both Hopkins and Murray. We have pro-bowl level talent on the roster but don't utilize them at all. Our offense is anemic and our defense, while improving, can't survive 40 minutes on the field.
If our record winds up as bad as I expect it will, I really hope Pete takes the hint and retires. At this point I wouldn't be surprised if he's out, Russ leaves for another team, and Bobby Wagner also retires this offseason. We've been patching holes on a sinking ship for more than 5 years now, it's time to embrace the rebuild.

Dangeruss is an awesome dude. Does so much charity work. He'll ball out wherever he goes. If I were Carroll, I'd start looking for a trade. Could get at least a 1st for him. Lot of QB needy teams.

@Incompetent just beat me to it, but Garrett is gone. I wonder if he even has an NFL job at this point after this disaster. Does he have any interest in college?

Garrett would be an upgrade for the Texans.

Thanksgiving doesn't feel the same if the cowgirls win. Can Carr meme himself to a W today?

The Lions are playing like they smell Nagy's blood in the water (defensively at least). If Goff continues to not play like dogshit, the Lions might be getting their W here. For Dan's sake, I hope that's the case.

This is apparently legit. Do Yinzers go to heaven?

The Lions should have taken literally anything other than Jared Goff.

Detroit only has themselves to blame for this loss. If they go 0-16-1 they fucking deserve it.

 

[Sex Cannon Lupa]

It's a shitty-ass team, though. Dummies gave the Bears a 1st down by calling back to back timeouts because they're fucking retards. The coaches literally lost the game.

 

[Here Comes Mongo]

Worst of all worlds as a Bears fan today.

Won so likely Nagy's job is safe, yet they almost shit the bed against the fucking Lions and only won by two because the Lions did Lion things, not because of anything the Bears did.

At least the afternoon game between the Raiders and the Cowboys was entertaining.

Without injuries this Saints team is 100% in the playoffs, defense is decent but the offense is basically all practice squad guys.

>Cook injured
Jesus, that’s the Vikings season gone if it’s serious. Game’s pretty much over for the Vikings.

Looks like the 49ers linemen popped out Cook’s shoulder basically intentionally. Also an absolutely bullshit call from the officials for an incomplete pass when Thelan had it in his hands.

EDIT: Horrible refereeing towards the end of the game. Blatant PI not called on the last drive.

 

[killuminati]

Skip Bayless is genuinely fucking retarded.

I tolerate the Vikings because despite some success they've never won a title and have heartbreaking luck. Fucking Green Bay runs that division not by talent but luck.

Ever notice that since Aaron Rodgers has been getting slandered in sports media for just making a mistake, he’s been playing noticeably better and actually shutting those same sports media people up?

I rarely hear about them talking trash about Rodgers anymore.

 

[Beresford's Whip]

Rodgers seems like he always plays better when he gets a (real or imagined) chip on his shoulder.

 

[Bassomatic]

Man, the Eagles... To quote a great film, I REALLY FUCKING HATE THE EAGLES MAN.

At this point are you hoping they fire Zimmer this offseason? I've been hearing some frustration from Vikings fans about him, but it seems to me to be just as much an issue with the FO building a roster, so I'm not sure.

 

[PeterMannion]

Alvin Kamara, Mark Ingram and Taysom Hill back in practice, giving me the slightest bit of hope for a shot at the playoffs.
