The NFL Thread

[Jimmy Floyd]

I've been seeing a lot about this Mahomes thing on my cursed twitter timeline, looks like he's taking the VAR moaning one stage further by claiming that in spite of it being the right decision, it shouldn't have been called anyway because it was a touchdown and done by him. Sporting culture is broken isn't it? I know quarterbacks get their dicks sucked daily but it seems in this case he genuinely believes himself to be above the rules of the game, which is a flex I haven't yet seen anywhere else.

[Gray Fox]

Imagine all the seethe from the Luis Diaz non-goal at Spurs, but only to find out he was offside the whole time, but then say yeah but it was a really nice goal so it should stand anyway and keep the complaining going.

Quarterbacks are "entitled sports child" cranked up to maximum, they're not only a star but THE star, and depending which shithole, nothing-else-to-do town they grow up in they're possibly getting adoring crowds as early as high school.

That is bonkers.

[Foe]

Heck of a play.

Great for his stock into the offseason too

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Also, the Vikings are fucking stupid.

3rd and 1 plus 4th and 1. Both times they go for a tush push with the tiny WR Brandon Powell attempting to push Mullens. At least use someone who doesn't have the physique of a bent twig.

[Gray Fox]

The Brotherly Shove is not for everyone.

[Ben]

Turn on RedZone after the footy and the first thing I see is a pathetic failed fake punt from the Jets from their own 20 ish.

Mooney should be cut for failing to bring that in.

[Ben]

That game was pretty mental the whole way.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

We are looking so good.

That one handed grab by Likely was filthy.

[Ben]

Baltimore definitely peaking at the right time.

We're still picking up injuries though...

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

And that's Lamar surely securing the MVP award.

Has the Chiefs Nation come out and blamed Taylor Swift for their shitness yet?

[Ben]

Huge boos at Arrowhead.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

If they manage to fuck up the West

[Ben]

I know Romo is good but he’s literally predicting every KC play before the snap.

[Gray Fox]

He was a good level NFL QB for over a decade so it's no surprise he can pick up on what's going on.

He's taken some shit this year for not doing any prep and just turning up on the day to do as you say. None of the comms team knows any better than him so they just go along with it.

[Ben]

I like him. When you’re that good, you probably don’t need to prep much. But you still need to have the knack for commentary to pull it off. I’m not sure Brady will have that. I hope it doesn’t mean Olsen gets punted from the Fox top job, because he’s really great.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Olsen is amazing, especially on Thanksgiving games when he gets distracted by the Turducken.

[Foe]

CFP live on sky sports nfl tonight.

Bama Michigan has just started. Texas Washington after.

Michigan got very lucky on the opening play

[Foe]

Christ what are they doing?

Near INT on the first play and now a muffed punt return. Can’t make those mistakes against bama.

[Ben]

He’s probably getting fired so I don’t think that’s going to help him much with getting his next job.

[Ben]

Jacksonville lol. Imagine being 8-3 and missing the playoffs.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Arthur Smith has indeed been sacked as has Riverboat Ron.

[Ben]

Ron Rivera, the only guy to lead two teams into the playoffs with a losing record.

[wullie]

Pete Carroll's out, shouldn't be a shock and yet I couldn't imagine it happening still.

[Gray Fox]

Saban and Belichick going too. This really is end of an era stuff now.

[Ben]

Mike Vrabel about to make a lot of money from someone (likely New England).

[Gray Fox]

Vrabel and the Patriots seems a good fit. Surprised the Titans didn't give him one more year, but then with The King leaving and there being a need for a new QB(maybe they give Levis another shot), it seems a good time to start fresh.

Interestingly Atlanta haven't sent out a single interview request since firing Arthur Smith. Their fanbase is starting to think they've been waiting on the Belichick news to try and bring him in.

We could still yet lose Andy Reid after the play offs too. Rumours of him retiring are swirling.

[Ben]

They must have something in the pipeline because I don't recall any team firing their coach on Black Monday and seemingly not starting the interview process immediately if the replacement isn't already in house.

[Foe]

Flacco just absolutely carving the Texans here.

Surprised the Texans didn’t go for it from the 3 or 4. If you can’t punch it in from there in 4 plays when you need to then it’s not going to be a Super Bowl.

[Gray Fox]

I dont think there'll be many more goal to go field goals now. Mental game.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

CJ Stroud is so good.

[Gray Fox]

Imagine selling the farm and then choosing Bryce Young over him.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

He's the real deal.

[Gray Fox]

This is incredible. Two nights running a top defence being carved up by a rookie QB(I know Love technically isn't but this is his first real year).

They could yet come back here, but this Cowboys season is very Mike McCarthy. He did this many times in Green Bay. Light up the league in the regular season, only to choke it in the playoffs.

[niko_cee]

Get them sweet Jerry tears on the jumbotron.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

The Cowboys

[Ben]

Who Dem Boyz.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

The Packers now have 3 playoff wins at AT&T stadium? The Cowboys? 2.

[niko_cee]

Steelers fumbling.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Refs robbed the Bills of the second one

[niko_cee]

Yeah, that was some serious ruling on the field stands bullshit. Ruling on the field wasn't that it grazed that dude's lid, which it didn't anyway, Gene.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Looks like that might be the game, especially if the Bills get a TD this drive.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Josh Allen is so good.
