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

Giants, what are you doing?

Speaking of them, the announcers were talking about Dart dealing with concussions due to bad hits on designed runs, then he took another big one here:

only more pathetic than funny.

The mediocrity is tiring. Sure they had a nice little winning streak, but this was just embarrassing (this is on-top of some questionable ref officiating, but I'm biased).

Also good luck next week Steeler Fans. I don’t cheer for injuries, but this is just shit timing for you guys.


9-8 Super Bowl and likely missing the playoffs. I swear the only coach to have a longer leash than Tomlin was Belichik, but at least he had multiple playoff wins and Rings to show for that (on account of Tom Brady being Tom Fucking Brady and carrying him there, but still). The Steelers haven’t won a playoff game in a decade at this point, meaning they don’t even have anything to show for that pointless streak beyond a Super Bowl won by a team Tomlin inherited.

Let's be honest, the only reason Tomlin isn't getting fired is the NFL quota of needed black head coaches

If the Bills win today, they can technically leapfrog the Patriots (don't neg rate me if I don't know all the tie breakers) but thats up for grab

It would be a conference record thing like the Steelers

That may be a part of it, but the Steelers have a very low turnover rate w/ HCs.
We've only had 3 since the 70s.

The Rooney Rule, brought in by Dan Rooney, being the thing screwing over the Steelers, owned by his son Art Rooney, from finding a new HC is honestly the most appropriate thing.

The Giants are too stupid to even tank properly

1. The Steelers already had hardware before Tomlin, and seem to have settled post-Knoll on 1 ring per coach being acceptable
2. Kraft was nouveau riche when he bought the team and expected results. Art Rooney II is coasting off his father's legacy while the rest of his family does something else with their lives and as long as the team doesn't lose money he doesn't really care.

Turned on the Super Tank Bowl and man these teams are fucking garbage.

WTF happened to the Bucs? 6-2 heading into their bye and to now being 7-9 and losing their last 4 games by just 11 points total. Haven’t seen enough of them to form a proper opinion but Baker seemed to be playing at an MVP level earlier in the season. Did he regress Geno Smith style? Also, lol if Quinn Ewers ends up being a better pro than Arch Manning.

Another random thought as I was typing the above post: Sam Darnold has won 13+ games as a starter in back to back years. I’m assuming that’s pretty rare on its own, but he’s done it with two different teams AND can possibly not win the division in either year.

From what i understand the Bucs are faced with injuries and shitty coaching. Edit: How would rank the 13-3 teams from most to least credible, thread?

This week is dogshit ah!

He's playing hurt again, the rest of the team is also injured, and Todd Bowles is a football terrorist with the corresponding inexplicable job security.

I have evidence that could get rid of Todd Bowles....

 

[George Lucas]

I guess the refs have decided not to call penalties on the Eagles.

HA HA HA HA!
GET FUCKED BUFFALO!

 

[Iron Hamster]

wtf was that finish?

 

[Zaryiu2]

I need the Bears/Popes .to win tonight, San Francisco must be kept where it belongs and I don't trust the Falcons against the Rams
