    It would be just my luck if the year the Patriots don't make the playoffs, the Steelers win it all. Happened in 2008 too.

    Patriots were just the gatekeepers so tragic shit like Ben Roethlisburger getting more rings didn't happen.

    Hope you guys are still happy the Patriots fell apart if that happens...

    So Champ Bailey is the reason he got his first one?

    I am legally obliged here as a Patriots fan to say it was a fumble at the 1. And yes, Champ Bailey probably did fuck it up for the rest of the NFL. Thanks Champ.

    LeGarrett Blount and Steven Hauschka retired. Some notable names hanging it up.

    Eh we thrashed them in SB45 so yeah it's fine they can win one.

    Unless the Packers make it, then we have to thrash them again.

    Clowney, who signed a 1 year 13m deal with the Titans underwent season ending surgery this week. Good thing he declined that 14m/y multi year deal that the Seahawks offered. Dude can't stay healthy.

    There's also the problem of him not being much good even when he is healthy. Few people have turned imposing physicality and high draft status without much production into quite as much pay out as Clowney.

    Hes maybe only had a season when healthy? He was banged up the entire time he was with Seattle. In the end, Dunlap has been more productive in 4 games than Clowney was.

    Crappy 2020 Falcons update.

    Saints and Refs 7 - Falcons 0
    Crappy Roughing Passer call. Watch the same hit will happen again on Ryan and no call. Missed the holding on the long run.

    They did that last year too IIRC. Seems like ever since The Boat happened, teams are playing better without Beckham than they did with.

    The only game Tua was another above meh was the Cardinals, and that was against a Vance Joseph defense. The dumb media just hyped him up because the Dolphins won the games he started. Probably doesn't help every time he throws a pick the refs bail him out. Their offense has been way better in both yards and point per drive with Fitz.

    The Browns are just a weird team. It seems like they either put up 30+ points or 6 points, not much in the middle.

    Well. It's December. And the Raiders are being played tight by *checks notes* the 0-11 Jets.

    Typical Gruden team.

    Congratulations to the Jets for winning their first game!

    My sympathies to the Jets, for now being tied with the Jaguars for first pick.

    NVM, they really toughed up and found a way to lose.

    Jets avoid being the third team in NFL history to go 0-16.

    Jaguars are now in the driver's seat to land Trevor Lawrence.

    And the Gruden December Collapse is on.


    I don't care if it's bad for the tank, Adam Gase should be fired tonight after what just happened.

    I fucking hate my team at times.

    11 points up in the third quarter and we went into conservative clock killing offence and let the Jets back into it. The whole thing was a shit show, I need a cardiologist.
    Ex-Mod. Technically retired, they just won't let me quit.

    Pretty sure Cam stepped on the white before the ball crossed the goal line, but we will see.
