It's swings and roundabouts though. I remember my first full season watching (2010) and the NFC West were rancid and the Seahawks took it 7-9 and the first team to make the playoffs with a losing record. A season later the division had become one of the most competitive and the Seahawks won a Super Bowl in 2013.

Also, Lamar is out of the game on Sunday as he's tested positive. We're absolutely fucked, we have 11 (IIRC) on the Covid list along with so many injuries.

We have our 2nd choice QB (our 4th choice is his backup), our two main RB's along with most of our O-Line out as well as a smattering of defenders. Steelers are going to murder us.

I knew something bad was coming the way the clip was setup but this was worse than anything I pictured as a possibility.

I'm sure they'll be using fans come the Steelers game.

Matt Patricia has been fired.

That's 20 on the list so far (some are close contracts_ and apparently another player tested positive this morning so that will be 21.

We'll be using fans to fill out the 53 come Tuesday.

I saw this, and we've called up a practice squad receiver.

I assume Linday and Gordon are going to be having very busy games and that all round it's going to be a bad but morbidly fascinating time.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Mark Andrews has now tested positive.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Call me crazy but I don't think Hinton is good as a QB.

[Ian]

Yeah this isn't even comedically bad, it's just "I feel sorry for him" bad. He's woefully underequipped for this and it's just painful watching him having to go through it.

[niko_cee]

Led to a pretty pacey game though.

More interceptions than completions is a brilliant stat.

[Browning]

Still better then Manning’s final year.

That is absolute horseshit.

I’m so mad at that ending. That game deserved a better finish.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

What a mental game. Absolutely incredible.

A better finish? They weren't going to go down the field and score a TD, it was all about giving LORD Justin Tucker the greatest kicker of all time a chance and he easily wrapped it up.

It’s 5am in the morning and I’m watching nfl. I don’t give a shit about tactics. I wanted to see another overtime shoot out.

The last few minutes after the Cleveland touchdown is how al football should be. Just fucking momentum.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Lamar running out on 4th and 5 after spending 30 minutes or so in the locker room (seemingly shitting his pants) to throw it to Marquise Brown who had been appalling all game for a TD was something else.

An overtime shoot out?

Overtime ends with a TD so a shoot out would have been trading FG's which you just said you didn't like...

And everyone likes seeing the Browns lose.

This was a first down...

Guess the refs just love Brady too much.

[niko_cee]

And the spot was insanely generous in the first place.

I loved the ref just casually moving it forward about 3 yards.

Derrick Henry has some competition.

[Ian]

I do like it when a lineman gets the ball and the first poor mook tries to do a normal tackle on them.

[Spoonsky]

I’m sat in the airport watching the Cardinals and the Eagles. How is Larry Fitzgerald still playing in the NFL?

[Ian]

Where you off to?

Fairly spectacularly stupid play by the KC punt returner there.

There have been all sorts of strange rules nuances in this half.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

I'm not sure what was worse, the returner trying to take that back and failing or Anzalone jumping on it with such force that the ball flies out of the endzone.

can someone explain the whole Jets/Trevor Lawrence thing. Jets fans seem very mad but Jacksonville also won a game this year so?

Worst team determined by record gets 1st pick. 1st pick this year will be Trevor Lawrence, who is rated as a generational talent at QB. If you lose every game and finish 0-16, then you'll guarantee yourselves 1st pick.

By winning at the weekend they drop to #2 below the Jaguars, who would also take Lawrence. The Jags will now lose the rest of the years games on purpose to be sure of him.

In short, the Jets fans could cope with them being shit for a while to get a very good player. Now they've even fucked that up.

But they have the same record?

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Jaguars take it as their strength of schedule is tougher than the Jets.

[phonics]

What a fucking stupid system.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

It's obviously shit but it's better than the NBA's lottery and it's hard to come up with tiebreakers when each team only plays 16 games and they don't all play each other.
