Shoutouts to the Colts for letting Drew Lock drop 45 on them with the playoffs on the line.

Irsay should stick to huffing gas and paying aging rockstars to play music with him. He's the nepo-baby posterchild and the franchise is paying for the way he treated Manning and how the fans treated Luck.

McAfee went off and is getting milions of views after being a pretty heavy handed homer on the show for the past 4 seasons. He's had Jim, Chris, and the new QBs on regularly gassing them up and you could tell both sides were trying to make this a partnership. Pat would call out some dumb shit like Jim's Bhuddist killer whale debacle while his franchise runningback is holding out during the off season, but he was certainly shining a turd. The season tickets he references were a box.

There are cracks already and more are forming. The bubble may naver burst thanks to gambling, but the game is certainly changing and not for the better.

That was always going to happen no matter what the NFL did. Parents aren't feeding their kids into tackle football at the same rate they used to. That is shrinking the talent pool long term.

The NFL is going to turn into what we have with boxing, where the QB is a Chechen Muslim you can't pronounce the fucking name of.

We already have the unpronounceable names, just not the foreigners. The foreigners are actually a point I hadn’t thought about and may be another reason why the NFL wants to expand beyond just the money.

We've already seen this season how the college scene is affecting things. Richardson sits out because he's tired. Supposedly he was out this week because he was sore, that's what the team said. He couldn't practice all week because of injuries, then was out because of a sore back, then Steichen clarifies that it was spasms. Nobody would be questioning Lamar like this. Shit, Jayden Daniels played hurt and played well. This stuff surrounds Richardson because people don't think his heart is in it and Colts in an incompetently run organization.

Cam Ward sits out of the Frank's Hotsauce Bowl or whatever the fuck. The excuse was always that they don't want to get hurt and the game is meaningless. Well now they're getting paid millions of dollars to sit out. Everyone is able to call them professional football players now because most of the money is above the table. Were does it stop? Do they sit out vs unranked opponents point? Nobody scouting gives a shit if you beat up on Hellen Keller's School for the Blind.

The NFL wants instant gratification so QBs, coordinators, and coaches are getting gone through at a rapid rate. More and more owners are absolute retards because they're the kids of the guys who built the league or they’re running it as a pure business like Jerreh. Terry Bradshaw is on the Superbowl Halftime show Nickelodeon Sliming a geriatric Jimmy Johnson during the Fanduel betting segment before whatever dogshit act Jay Z trots out performs.

I'm just going to embody the Angry Old Man yelling at clouds.

Bowl games were always retarded.
 
The fact that Gus Bradley hasn't been executed is proof we have fallen as a society. He is one of the worst coaches in NFL history who got lucky coaching the legion of boom for one season. He has been coasting off that for over a decade despite constant failures ever since. Good riddance.

That was some of the shoddiest EOG time management I've seen. How do you have two timeouts available to you and still blow away what felt like 20-30 seconds

People don't realize how being a good coordinator and being a good head coach are two very different things. I was listening to a podcast earlier this year when the Bengals were scoring a million points but eating shit and a host made a good point: You don't get slack if the opposite side of your career speciality is doing awful. Sure Zac Taylor is a great offensive coach but his defense has been godawful this season. And he shouldn't be able to go, "Well I sort of just leave the defense to the coordinator" considering the wins and losses go next to his name.

You can't be a successful head coach and overtly favor one side of the ball because you know it better. And time management can never be slept on.
 
Two classic NFL franchises going head to head tonight. One is a cellar dwelling underachieving League-wide laughingstock with nothing to play for in December, and the other is the Detroit Lions.

If anyone is a fraud in the NFC it's the Packers. They are 1-5 against teams eligible for the playoffs. Their solitary win against "good" teams? The Rams. They beat the Bears 20-19.

The Packers lost to the 3 best teams in the NFC. They beat a playoff team that might get a win in the playoffs but losing to the Lions, Eagles, and Vikings isn't terrible. Its just the fact they have to play both the Lions and Vikings twice
