Well, men...we've reached the final week of the regular season. Always a little melancholy for me. It'll be the last time I get to hear Scott Hanson say "SEVEN HOURS OF COMMERCIAL FREE FOOTBALL START...NOW!"...until September. At 7pm Sunday, I'll go into my YoutubeTV menu and cancel the sports package which contains NFL Redzone. Enough of that, though...we got real shit to address. Let's get RIGHT into it.

We got playoff spots up for grabs, we got divisions up for grabs, wild seeding implications, too. These are the latest, hottest clinching scenarios I could find...so please correct me if you've seen something different. Only gonna do clinching scenarios. On to the games, gents:

but also want the Packers to win?

like, we need to miss the playoffs. changes need to be made, and if we make the playoffs, everyone gets their rose colored glasses on and seems to forget about all the warts of the team.

it gives them less of an excuse to jettison Pete Carroll, etc.

i'm fine either way i guess...i just want change.

shit, maybe i'm wrong. knowing my luck they won't ditch Pete win or lose, playoffs or not.

in that spot. With Jason Garrett.

So the ungrateful fans can appreciate the job he has done over the years when the team goes to shit. He's had the coach the last 5+ years hiding his QB.


------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

isn’t impressive as a Steeler fan.

This idea that no one else but Tomlin can have success is fucking weird.

Anything short of a SB appearance won’t change my mind and even then.. I would want him to retire on a high note, not 9 wins and missing the playoffs again.

its been 17 years.. how long do you want him to coach? Forever?

w Tomlin as his HC

hopefully the dumbass bears take Caleb Williams and set their franchise back even further

but id still rather play the second round in Dallas than outdoors in Philly

the fiasco of last week is gonna reverberate for a while

He only won by 10 so they should clearly fire him.

.

It wouldn’t be good. And would definitely have some jock acting guest appearances

But I would be in.

I still need to listen to it, but the creators centered it around Shanahan, McVay, McDonald, and other coaches in their orbits.

I hear it's worth a listen. It should be available on The Athletic Football Show's feed.

Rest of us celebrating this rookie qb who already looks elite

You just miserable as usual

it’s fun to watch them shine at the next level

It’s not that complicated ,

well maybe it is for some of you

we just can’t win 10 games a season every year.

just a weird thing to argue about after a game.

Texas Tech alum must be relentless lately

He didn’t say he made CJ what he is , or anything of the sort

your boy just being an antagonistic cunt , per usual .

ill be here waiting for the answer

which led to a back n forth

whats the math on that u clown?

.

late in the game who hasn't touched the ball yet

https://x.com/pff/status/1743843085979685343?s=61

Also could definitely get used to more of these Saturday nfl regular season games later in the year. They should start doing this earlier because we know the audience would be there.

No more excuses. Lawrence is what he is. Mid-tier QB at best

back-up quarterback played 75% of the season and zero corner depth

but the season was successful in that we found out Steichen could coach

Richardson looked dynamic in the games he played, wish we had seen more

you can see how flawed these teams are right now, in that they are missing the depth and other dynamic pieces all-around to truly compete

but there is a foundation there

difference in the game was one team had their top 5 pick at quarterback and the other one didn't

they need to overturn that.

Go Titans!!

Lets go TITANS!!!

dude is already a complete player, and the afterburners are always on full blast

.

.

.

or the goalline throw to the RB that may have been the worst throw in the league this year?

.

.

his arm simply doesnt have the gears to live up to the hype. it's all "pedal to the medal" throws w/ him

.

.

>his arm simply doesnt have the gears to live up to the hype.
>it's all "pedal to the medal" throws w/ him

Trade him now while teams still value him. Get a ton of picks or maybe even a 1 or 2 overall and try again. He's not it. He never was. This is who he is. Jacksonville needs to stop waiting for some magical transformation. CJ Stroud doing what he did this year in your own division has to hurt.

Bobby Ross, HC of the Detroit Lions, 11/20/2008

Smith ranting like a man who coached his last game

It what in the name of Keith Byars is going on with them? Down 24-0 to the Giants. Marcus Mariota in at QB and his FIRST pass is picked off. Tough.

and neither the HC nor the talent can bail them out.

Look at the Steelers. A season full of Ass-Tier QB play.
In the AFC North.
Outpaced by the BROWNS (who went through 4 QBs).
Playoffs.


This team looks worse than the Pats on offense with more talent.
This defense is absolute SHIT-tier. Started out shaky but continually went downwards.

Dallas has tried HARD to bail them out. And the Eagles refuse it.

Everyone getting fired.

.

on his final play as a Bear.

.

you take Pete for granted.. lol

isn’t that how it goes?

BUT...call me a weirdo but i'm fine if we lose if pete leaves.

that's part of a reset.

and maybe this makes me more weird but i feel like being MID is worse than being bad. cuz being mid you're just good enough that you're invested enough to be let down again and again.

bad can mean zero

also, I really like Jamal Williams and I didn’t realize that was his first TD of the season. Dunno how that’s even possible. He had like 18 TDs last season…played in 5 more games, but still.

Carr is a rental. And an economy car rental at that

i always want Jameis to start regardless of where he's playing.

Carr's salary ain't economy, lol.

..If Smith wants mercy he should find a job that gives a fuck and learn to do it well.

This is football. You line up each play and attempt to beat the man in front of you, no matter what the circumstances are.

I'm actually happy that was the final play of his career as a head coach.


*skatin' the rings of saturn*


..and miles to go before i sleep...

not scoring at the end of games. Shit is goofy.

Running up the score like the pats did in their 16-0 season, sure i get that. And i can understand the frustration/annoyance of seeing the team in victory formation and then running a play...sure. Butyou still got your ass beat, does your ass hurt less if they took knees?

Had no idea NFL coaches prescribed to this dumb shit

lol at the saints coach profusely apologizing like he committed some grave sin lol

corny as hell

you want to get your guy a TD, then line up and run a play to get a TD that means something

a fake kneel is just hoe shit

Shannon saying they should cut Jameis today and Stephen A agreed.

but acting like its not lame is very odd

why wouldnt Jamaal rather get stopped short against an active defense than smash n grabbing some Donald Royal ass TD?

who gives a fuck if they got waxed by an extra 7 points. the waxing already happened.

they wanted to get their guy a TD for some reason other than running up the score. it's still on the Falcons to play defense regardless of what the offensive formation looks like.

fuck the Falcons. fuck Arthur Smith. anyone actually mad about this go yell at the sky.

if all the hoe shit in the world actually irritated me i wouldnt be able to leave my house

but being able to identify it is another thing entirely

besides, it potentially aint that innocuous.
its the exact same as someone taking a run on a center after a snap when the QB *does* take a knee. football deals enough damage to people's bodies. now you're gonna signal that youre not hitting, then hit? also hoe shit, and if someone got his leg rolled on you wouldnt be talking that silly sports radio bullshit.

overall I don't know how I feel about it. if the other team is conceding it cones off kinda shitty. Even if it doesn't ultimately matter.

Mostly it just shows that Dennis Allen isn't respected at all by this team, because Jameis saying we decided to do it this way felt like just as much of a fuck you to Allen as it did to Atl.

I can't even imagine Jameis doing this while playing for Arians. Can you imagine Hoyer doing this while playing under Belichek? Neither can I.

Fuck this idea that we have to take Harbaugh if he's available, or what ever 'offensive guru' who's out there

Or people acting like the whole AP thing is just a vibe or he's just a cheerleader. Dude changed the entire culture of team and won back a lost locker room damn near literally overnight.
He went 5-4 with a 4th round rookie unknown Qb. Defense has suddenly become top 10. They're (at least as of a cpl weeks ago )the least penalized team in the league

Alot of these so-called grown-ups in the room pushing for a 'real coach' are the same geniuses who were talking about what a great hire McDaniels was

This team is a hunter Renfrow fumble away from being in the playoffs

They can't Bissacia this shit again

Regular season, fine. Is what it is. But now we can't watch playoff games unless we subscribe?

I'm not trying to subscribe to anything else.

but, I’m ngl…if I didn’t, I would cop it for these games. So, I guess it would have worked on me.

Hell, I’ll still try to find a promo code or free trial for the game

Greedy af but surprised they didn’t do this sooner. Easy money grab.

they want to see how far people will bend, and the answer for one playoff game is $5.99 a month

3 months.

great timing!

every month I check and change payments for streaming depending on the perks they have.

Got a whole month of games like this coming up

Dallas

they really seem to struggle vs good teams and the offense disappears for long stretches.

and do they only have 3 plays? Seems like that 15 yard in route is their bread and butter. Once you defend it they just stall out.

..Both of these teams are frauds, but I don't think either of 'em realize it.
