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

Ravens hire Tomlin

If that were to happen, I would feel horrible for everyone else on that team, as they'd be getting the lion's share of blame by the media rather than Tomlin and Lamar.

 

[Jay2U]

I don't think Rooney will fire a black HC

 

[BikeLock]

When it counts, you can’t rely on a homosexual quarterback.

What are you on about, the Bears won yesterday, didn't they?

 

[Franz Joseph]

Texans are Broncos light with a somehow more incompetent QB.

 

[Rockey May]

TJ Watt being 0-5 in the playoffs brings me immense joy, and I hope the Steelers bring this crazy postseason to an end by firing Tomlin.

They literally aren't gonna change a fucking thing. They're either gonna go 10-7 and get felted in the Wild Card or start 5-8 and go on a miraculous run to go 9-8, barely scraping out wins against the literal bottom of the barrel of the league next year. It's the same thing and why I'm always glad when Steelers fans suffuh.

I’d die laughing if Flacco decided to troll the Steelers one last time before retiring by signing with the Steelers and just blatantly not giving a shit and going full Tank Commander.

While that would be funny, it would in a way give the Steelers a dose of reality that I don't want them to get. I want them to suffer with Dallas for all eternity.

Honestly I do hope Rodgers retires. Yeah he didn't have a good last playoff game (which in the grand scheme of things nobody will remember), he did have a relatively strong enough regular season and I don't think he could replicate that again. It just feels like the right time.

Rodgers just seems like the type of person that won't retire until he's either completely broken from injury or teams stop calling.

What else is he gonna do? Go spend time with his family?

 

[Nick Wright]

I'm surprised how good so many of the wildcard games were. The divisional round should be great.

Bills vs Broncos
Texans vs Patriots
Rams vs Bears
49er's vs Seahawks

The last one may be a blowout but the others should be good.

Bronco's have somehow won a ton of games I thought they should of lost so it should be interesting watch.

Texans defense breaking the Patriots would be amazing. I've got to many Patriots fans in my life who think the dynasty has returned.

Bears keep winning close games in fourth quarter. I can't just write them off no matter how much make-up their LGBTQB wears.

I don't see how the 49er's defense can stop Seattle but I can see how Seattle's stops them.

Rodgers end of career is arguably more pathetic than Favre's end of career at this point. You can say a lot of things about Favre and the way he chose to handle his retirement, but he still was able to perform well and knew how to choose teams that actually had a shot at being successful. Even he knew when the writing was on the wall for him. Granted Rodgers has never had a sexting scandal, but still.

The guy is openly in a hell of his own making. He burned so much goodwill and ruined his image in the public eye. Add a sex scandal and it would be the most embarrassing downfall a QB has suffered in history.

As far as the Steelers go, it isn't even funny anymore. They are just outright now refusing to change and try to improve as a franchise. There wasn't even any funny drama this year despite having the biggest drama whore at QB. They are a husk of a once great organization. You can tell that UrinatingTree is burnt out from talking about them.

I'm still not on the Drake Maye hype train. He looked fucking lost out there against the Chargers

 

[Unarmed Gunman]

Texans are hilarious because every time they give their city hope they get gangraped in prime time.

Stroud and Texans on fraud watch right now.

lel

I would be shocked if the Patriots are favored against the Texans.

Consider me shocked, but New England minus 3 against Houston will be easy money, and I don't even gamble. I might have to make an exception this time, and Stroud sucks but it really doesn't matter. That turd tried like hell to give the game away and they still won by 24. Imagine if he just plays mediocre, they'll beat almost anybody.

I still got Rams over Houston in the Superb Owl though

Favre and Rodgers have the same number of playoff apperances in their post Packers careers and Rodgers is doing it two years older and with a reconstructed achilles. Favre also decided to join a 4-12 Jets team where his best weapon was an over the hill Laveranues Coles. I dont know how you argue that thats choosing a team with a shot at success.

Favre didn't choose the Jets. That is where he was traded to. The Packers still had the rights to him as a player. When he came out of retirement and demanded they make him the starter, that is who they traded him to. After 2008 however he chose to play with Vikings. Partially because he saw a way to get back at the Packers, but also because they were a competent team with talent that had the potential to make a run.

Rodgers hasn't also won a playoff game in five years. Favre won one both with the Vikings and during his final run with the Packers. He also got both teams into the NFC Championship game.

Counter Point - imagine the Malding by Steelers Fans and the media who copes about the pointless "No Losing Seasons" streak being broken. The Seethe would feed families.

 

[Nogg]

Yeah, he won one playoff game with the Packers after having missed the playoffs for two years and not winning a playoff game in four years. I think you are way overselling what Fave did at the end of his carrer.

 

[George Lucas]

Let’s keep it simple: I’d pick late career Rodgers over late career Fave.

I want Rodgers to keep playing because it’s the funniest outcome.

 

[Party Hat Wurmple]

I want Rodgers to keep playing because it’s the funniest outcome.

I think he'll play as long as the Steelers want him. The moment they're done with him, is the moment he retires. He doesn't seem to know whether he goes out or not. He certainly looks like Season 11 Rick Grimes who's tired of doing the same shit over and over again though. The Steelers have so far indicated they want him back. Barring Tomlin being fired, it might happen.

I do love his interview responses though. He sounds like Brie Larson when she was asked about coming back as Captain Marvel. "I don't know....Does anyone want me to do it again?"

Rodgers hasn't also won a playoff game in five years. Favre won one both with the Vikings and during his final run with the Packers. He also got both teams into the NFC Championship game.

The Vikings were also a lot better back then compared to today's Steelers. It's insanity that they made it into the Wild Card at all. That was pretty much solely due to having Rodgers.

 

[BibiLivesMatter]

I just want rodgers back for another year, so we can continue to see him in gridiron heights

 

[DustBuns]

At least I can take solace in the fact that Mike Tomlin just stepped down.
