the football just be slipping out of the players hands and shit, lot of mistakes all over the place

idk, can't say I enjoyed watching that during the rams eagles game

[slow violet]

Isn't today the national championship?

[slow violet]

This is why running backs were a premium back then. The level of talent at running back doesn't compare to years past. When you had a snow game, it was basically which team had the best running back

[fleet orbit]

so he’s the bo jackson of coaches

[rustic lichen]

Dodgers and their infinite wealth

[fleet orbit]

baseball needs a salary cap

say what you want about the nba but they have better financial cap balance than the nfl and mlb combined

[thorn hornet]

Time to make Arsenal french again

No more of this Basque nonsense

[plush jungle]

Even F1 got a working salary cap before the NFL and MLB

[fleet orbit]

Those 10 year deals are often poison

you take miguel cabrera , who was an incredible hitter , one of my favorites , but he was washed and near the end of the road for the tail end of that contract and the tigers were bad

as for the nba , the standards for who deserves a max is too low

sam presti is a great gm , he just hasn’t quite had the team to finish the job

[amber grove]

Stay out my sport with these terrible ideas

[sacred agate]

🤣🤣

[fleet orbit]

it gives small market teams a better chance at being competitive , i don’t think it’s a horrible idea at all

10 year contracts are rarely worth the value

of the 3 leagues i know of financially (i don’t watch hockey ), nba has the best financials (albeit not perfect )

[sacred agate]

MLB is wack

These barstool callers have been amazing

[fleet orbit]

gruden is not worth looking at head coach but he is pretty good with barstool

But gruden is a bad evaluator of talent , he designs good plays but can’t develop

[dim kettle]

I like going onto Twitter and seeing people throwing blame on one side or another. Lamar losing in another big game vs Mark Andrews. Like it's both. Andrews fumbling and then dropping the ball at the end was bad but perhaps the Ravens don't have to be in that spot if Lamar doesn't throw the INT early on or have the really bad fumble. It doesn't have to be all one or the other.

[fleet orbit]

i don’t understand how Jim Harbaugh has taken 0 heat

the ravens abandoned the run and let the bills control the clock

bills dominated clock management

[dim kettle]

John should. 12 years without a title. What has he done lately for that team?

[fleet orbit]

most teams don’t have 2 TEs that good , get an extra blocker or scheme up some TE plays , especially with flowers out , and pound their ass into the turf with henry

bills did everything the ravens should’ve

when allen and cook would’ve been plugged up, throw slants

[hollow wind]

I love double TE plays

[fleet orbit]

2 TE sets worked great for the patriots it just sucks that one of them was a murderer (shrug)

[hollow wind]

[dim kettle]

It just goes back to the mindsets a lot of teams have, especially the ones who just got out of losing. Is the standard really winning 1 playoff game every year or winning SBs?

[fleet orbit]

I don’t think the ravens have the wrong coach but they have some adjustments to make from within

brady and mahomes have skewed the nfl because they are dynasties

before that the nfl had lots more parity

John Harbaugh last made it to and won a Super Bowl 12 years ago. In the past 6 seasons, he's had the NFL MVP at QB for half of them. 0 trips to the Super Bowl in that time. At some point, it's fair to question whether a change is needed.

[rustic ore]

Little confused how Wirfs can make the All-NFL team and not the All-NFC one but okay

Not sure which one is more "prestigious" though

[dim kettle]

He's a Buc. Nobody cares for the Bucs.

[rustic ore]

Lamar still going to win MVP again

[dim kettle]

Not breaking those Aaron Judge of Football narratives still.

[sacred agate]

Probably those numbers were insane

How many tds again like 45-50

[fleet orbit]

i don’t think he should

i think allen is mvp this year but we’ll see

[rustic ore]

41 passing, 4 rushing

9 turnovers

Over 5k YFS total

[sacred agate]

Oh okay

Yeah that’s nuts

[fleet orbit]

Lamar has 8 pro bowlers around him, josh has i think 1

josh allen is my mvp

but to be fair lamar getting it isn’t a sympathy mvp , joel embiids was

[sacred agate]

That shoulda been jokics three peat

Joel embiid gotta learn to not go 110% every game until the playoffs

[rustic ore]

For comparison Allen has 28 passing TDs and 12 rushing to 8 turnovers, a bit over 4.2k YFS

[sacred agate]

Pretty close except Lamar had more yds

And three more tds

[rustic ore]

Lamar with a higher completion percentage and more completions, Allen with more passing attempts

[rustic ore]

My b, confused his rushing TDs with how many times he was sacked

For Allen I mean

[fleet orbit]

it’s head scratching because tbh the ravens might have the best roster in the afc but they just can’t get it done

[rustic ore]

That is obscene that Allen was only sacked 14 times all season

[fleet orbit]

listen one does not simply get a 2nd elite dragon 😂😂😂

[sacred agate]

The OLine was battling for him

[fleet orbit]

the bills o line has been outstanding all year

they dominated the ravens in the trenches last night

[sacred agate]

That’s where the ball game is usually won at

In the trenches

Who can dominate the line of scrimmage on both sides

[fleet orbit]

But the ravens also have a good o line

I honestly think as great at lamar is he wasn’t even the most valuable player on his own team

[dim kettle]

Now the Bills will lose on a blocked game-winning FG. Because ffs, Ray needs relive the Broncos game earlier this season.

[rustic ore]

Was wild how Stafford did so well passing the ball yesterday in heavy snow

[sacred agate]

Right

Puka was catching em like it was a perfect sept night

[fleet orbit]

have faith

swift and brittany mahomes will cry, mahomes will punch a ref , allen will run 90 yards to the end zone in OT to win, and we’ll all get fucked up

i hope you enjoyed my fan fiction

Jordan Love is 3-1 against the Bears so far

Might be a new bad man to hurt you

[dim kettle]

💀

[fleet orbit]

sure but he’s not even close to as good as rodgers or brett

[dim kettle]

They'll always have a bad man following the Bears around. Their name is the McCaskeies

[fleet orbit]

FUCK

[rustic ore]

Doesn't that make it worse then?

[sacred agate]

And so far Jordan probably playing better then Brett did atp

[fleet orbit]

for now , i’m feeling okay , got a win over them at the end of the year, and caleb will be a stud, i got faith

in caleb at least i do

[dim kettle]

Just remember. The Commies have a new owner and are about to be 1 game away from the Super Bowl. Meanwhile, the Chicago Bears will forever be saddled with the McCaskey family. BEARS FOOTBALL!!

hey arlong owned an entire village for years and than he got yeeted into the floor

we just need caleb to body slam virginia into concrete

i don’t want to be mean , but the saints state going forward is very concerning

they are broke

[hasty mesa]

Dan Quinn left the Cowboys, went to Commies and immediately went to the Conference Championship

There’s a lot of stories to go around here

Yeah the city itself probably will be submerged underwater too

[hasty mesa]

Giants are indirectly responsible for this whole affair as well

[sacred agate]

In the next 50-100 years

By winning with Tommy Devito we lost our chance at Jayden Daniels

[fleet orbit]

JD might have to adjust a bit this offseason tho to be fair , kingsbury might be up for a coaching job and JD tends to run outside if his first read isn’t there

he’s really good but he’s gonna have to get even better next year

[dim kettle]

Bears and getting rid of mediocrity is like Stone Cold and Mr. McMahon. No matter what the Bears do, mediocrity comes speeding in with a zamboni.

[amber grove]

Make the cheapskate owners pay then make a salary floor

[hasty mesa]

They have crazy cap space. Theoretically this should be the worst roster JD has

[fleet orbit]

But the owners of the small market teams might not have that kind of money

[hasty mesa]

If GM HC and QB stay in sync Washington could be a perennial contender for as long as JD is starter

[fleet orbit]

oh absolutely , if we’re talking teams who might have a hard time improving the roster around the young guy, Nix is the one to be concerned about

denver has no money

[hasty mesa]

Yeah

But at least they have Bo

[dim kettle]

The only way we're getting a salary floor in the MLB is getting a salary cap and the players won't let that happen without things burning to the ground.

[hasty mesa]

Use this time to fix the franchise

[fleet orbit]

i think caleb jd and drake are gonna end up being the top 3 guys fromthis class like they were drafted to be

drake is awesome

[sacred agate]

Joe Milton better not play good in the nfl

[hasty mesa]

I just want a QB man, April can’t come fast enough

[sacred agate]

Cause he was ass in college

[fleet orbit]

If im the giants i go ward

sanders is gonna bust, i’m confident

[dim kettle]

You only get free medium Pepsis

[hasty mesa]

Titans are likely taking Ward

The only hope at the top 2 QBs is if Browns are scared of Sanders drama

[fleet orbit]

you’re gonna think i’m crazy , titans should trade down and get a bridge guy, roll the dice next draft

[hasty mesa]

Sanders may bust but I’m taking a swing at him at pick 3

[sacred agate]

Ahh yes my other disaster nfl team

[fleet orbit]

i mean… they get watson? probably not scares

scared

[hasty mesa]

I don’t wanna trade up frankly

Especially not for Sanders

[dim kettle]

I'm not a fan of a lot of the QBs this year. But you have to find that guy anyway. The Giants still feeling the effects of not picking Josh Allen in 2018 6-7 years later.

[hasty mesa]

Smells like disaster

[fleet orbit]

i think the raiders would be the ones who would consider trading up

[hasty mesa]

If you pick Sanders at 3 and he busts it doesn’t matter much

If you trade up and he busts?

Yikes

[fleet orbit]

this is an unfortunate draft to need a franchise guy

hell the saints need one at some point , carr is not the guy for the saints current situation

[hasty mesa]

I’ve said it before but if I was Schoen:

1. sit at pick 3, but have offers to trade down ready

2. Once you see what Titans and Browns do, you do the following:

if Ward or Shedeur are still on the board, take them

If they’re both gone, look to trade down for a haul to a team desperate for Travis Hunter

[fleet orbit]

patriots are the type of team who would take a travis hunter

the patriots are basically best player available rn

[hasty mesa]

I’ll take their future 1st and 2nd

[fleet orbit]

all they have is drake

[hasty mesa]

Easily

[dim kettle]

I always heard the saying: you set your franchise back 5 years if you pick the wrong guy at QB. Like, the Giants have done this twice in almost 9 years.

[fleet orbit]

maybe patriots try and pay tee higgins , the pats have money

[hasty mesa]

You set yourself back if you commit too long

[amber grove]

😭😭😭😭😭

[hasty mesa]

After 2022 playoff season the correct answer was tag Jones, pay Barkley, sign Baker or someone in free agency for competition

But here we are

[fleet orbit]

If you trade all your draft capital and truly hedge all your assets on them it would

[hasty mesa]

When I look towards the future, the best play rn is to swing at QB but not overpay

Sign a bridge like Fields

Draft one of Ward/Shedeur, and if not try a swing at Dart or something

But don’t mortgage the future for a guy like Sanders

[fleet orbit]

i could see fields as a bridge guy

[dim kettle]

This is why I consider teams like a business, Because like business, the line between huge success and huge failure is the a few big mistakes you make.

[fleet orbit]

he can win you a couple as long as you don’t give him the keys

[hasty mesa]

I think Daboll could make him serviceable, enough to hold the fort for a rookie

That’s all we need tbh

[hasty mesa]

Yeah

[rustic mountain]

I really dont care who it is, just give me someone good

[dim kettle]

Like, the Giants have to pick a QB in this class that's not really that good IMO. When the Giants could've been picking in either the 2023 or 2024 draft. Winning a playoff game in 2022 really threw everything off.

[rustic mountain]

Lmao we aint moving up

[hasty mesa]

Someone else will jump you

If they want Hunter bad

[rustic mountain]

So?

[hasty mesa]

Then we all good

[rustic mountain]

Let them have Hunter

[hasty mesa]

Idc who I just want a haul if we miss out on Ward/Shedeur

[fleet orbit]

the giants also need to figure out how to build a plan on offense going forward , you can’t simply just get a qb

[dim kettle]

The Pats have the mindset that they need talent everywhere. So they're not moving

[rustic mountain]

I want Abdul Carter if I am honest

As we should

[hasty mesa]

Tracy Nabers is a good starting point

[rustic mountain]

We have a qb and a cb

[fleet orbit]

great starting point !

[hasty mesa]

I’m not worried about the rest of the offense as much as I am the QB

Our healthy Oline is also solid now we just need depth

[dim kettle]

Knowing Mike Vrabel, you're likely gonna see a lot of emphasis on OL and running game

[rustic mountain]

Which is fine

We need oline as is

[hasty mesa]

What is Rhamondre’s current contract?

[dim kettle]

I'm only predicting what they're probably gonna focus on that aspect in the draft.

[rustic mountain]

He signed a new deal last year

[hasty mesa]

Ah ok then you’re good there

[rustic mountain]

I am not too worried because Vrabel has mentioned being an efficient passing offense that can hit big plays as well

I think he has learned a lot

And he was a good coach with a terrible front office as is

[smoky fable]

You see this?

[rustic mountain]

I did not

I am actually shocked

[hasty mesa]

Firing Titans GM after one year was crazy

[rustic mountain]

I like Santander and we had to do something

Now sign Vladdy

[dim kettle]

The Titans have no idea what they're doing. Shocker, I know

[fleet orbit]

good , that will help Drake develop
pats can go after a wideout , they have loads of money

[rustic mountain]

I trust Vrabel

What's nice is we got rid of some higher ups who were making decisions. This is Vrabel running things and he is bringing in Cowden

[dim kettle]

I feel for Andrews. He fucked up, but man, people are quick to defend Lamar like he didn't put the team in a 10 point deficit early on.

[rustic mountain]

After thinking on it a bit

[dim kettle]

Both can be blamed like you could blame Judge and Rizzo for fucking up the 5th inning in the WS

[rustic mountain]

I still think Lamar is absolutely an elite talent that can do great things in the league and yes his teammates let him down but the playoffs are a matter of small margins to win

Idk what else you do but run it again and hope for the best

[dim kettle]

They need a new voice at coach

[rustic mountain]

Lamar is definitely in the Mahomes/Allen/Burrow tier. You might be right

John might just be at the ceiling of where he can get this team. Idk for sure tho

Tbh I run it again

[dim kettle]

0 SBs in 12 years says enough.

[slow violet]

the problem with them is they run a very specific offense and we'll Lamar has had growth

[rustic mountain]

Bolster up some weak points and see if you can overcome rhe small margins

[fleet orbit]

i don’t know if they need to necessarily replace him but harbaugh and coaching were number 1

[slow violet]

Their run game relies on him, their passing game is an extension of their run game

[fleet orbit]

they should’ve ran 2 TE sets for an extra blocker and ran the ball

[rustic mountain]

How effective was Henry last night

[slow violet]

Good enough to win

They never punted

[fleet orbit]

they stopped running him during most of the 2nd half

[rustic mountain]

Unfortunate

[slow violet]

The only reason the bills got the ball was because of turnovers

[rustic mountain]

Turnovers are just. Rough man.

[hasty mesa]

Too many drops and turnovers on the Ravens side while Bills played clean

[rustic mountain]

You can't give Allen more opportunities

[hasty mesa]

That’s how you win

[slow violet]

and someone does need to criticize Lamar because when teams blitz him he tends to turn the ball over. This is the reason the Steelers and chiefs keep finding a way to beat him

[rustic mountain]

Unless you're the Texans

[dim kettle]

The Ravens should know this personally. Once Brian Billick's overrated ass retired as HC there and John was hired, suddenly they're making AFC title games and winning a SB again.

[rustic mountain]

But the KC Refs and all that

[fleet orbit]

Buffalo had complete control over the clock

[hasty mesa]

Lamar is partially to blame for the fumble but he’s also the reason they even had a chance at the end

At the end of the day this wasn’t a “bad” loss by Lamar

[rustic mountain]

He's the reason Baltimore is a top contender

[hasty mesa]

Or some playoff choke

[slow violet]

But he's an elite talent ofc he's the reason they have a chance

[hasty mesa]

Yeah

They just made mistakes against an elite QB that made no mistakes

And lost

Simple as that

[slow violet]

But he needs to fix this aspect of his game. When teams play zone and blitz him. He continuously turns the ball over

[rustic mountain]

We have 4 qbs in the AFC who are absolutely dangerous at any point with Lamar/Allen/Burrow/Mahomes

[slow violet]

This isn't a magical one time occurrence

[hasty mesa]

And now one in the NFC

[rustic mountain]

JD5 a real one

[hasty mesa]

5 is legit

[rustic mountain]

Commies got a DUDE

[dim kettle]

Lamar the MVP vs Playoff Lamar are two different beasts. Thankfully the media isn't full on simp for him to make excuses like Peyton got for so many years.

[rustic mountain]

I stg

[thorn hornet]

Bye Bye Arsenal season hopes, bye bye

[rustic mountain]

Growing up with Peyton simps

[slow violet]

Lol well there are others reasons for that but... I digress 😭

[rustic mountain]

Every. Freaking. Year. "Peyton and the Colts are just too tough, they are my sb pick" then they lose in the playoffs "OKAY BUT NEXT YEAR AND PEYTON WAS LET DOWN BY EVERYONE ELSE"

[fleet orbit]

peyton manning is the kansas jayhawks

[hasty mesa]

You have to give props to the Bills, Josh Allen did what he had to do to win, clean football that put pressure on Lamar

[dim kettle]

They always called Peyton this great general in the pocket but the moment he does shit in a big moment, it's the playcalling fault without realizing Peyton is the playcalling

[rustic mountain]

I think half the reason I even hate Peyton Manning is because growing up I got every year of "bro but Peyton is just so much better than Brady, bro Peyton gonna have like 4 rings, bro he is so cerebral"

[hasty mesa]

Now the Chiefs are a different story to win that you have to be MVP candidate Josh Allen

Put up more TDs

And still be clean

[slow violet]

Josh is playing the best football of his career. He's not forcing balls like he usually does. Playing so patient

[dim kettle]

One play sums up Peyton for me. Its that pick 6 against the Saints. I knew the moment he was staring down his guy it was gonna be picked

[hasty mesa]

I think Mahomes takes the lead over Josh Allen yesterday, especially in the 2nd half

Bills offense slowed

[slow violet]

They played too conservative so that's for sure

[hasty mesa]

What I’m saying is you can’t do that

Yeah

[slow violet]

But you have to give the ravens defense credit

[hasty mesa]

Of course

[fleet orbit]

the bills o line was outstanding

[hasty mesa]

Funny cuz, you can’t be conservative, but at the same time vs Mahomes I want to eat up every second of clock

Keep him on the bench

You’ve played against this man too many times

[slow violet]

I personally believe

The bills don't have a chance against the KC refs

[sacred agate]

Peyton manning is the goat

[hasty mesa]

If you’re McDermott you are telling your team it’s a 2v1

Can’t moan about the refs mid game you know how this works

Make them a non factor

Score

[fleet orbit]

yeah you’re gonna have to forget about the refs and play ball

and reported

If josh allen wins sunday i think he gets the job done and wins the bowl

[rustic ore]

Sorry I was taking my dogs out

[robust grotto]

Penguins reporting to be major sellers, which isn’t shocking but they have so many unattractive pieces that it’s going to be difficult for them to do anything significant. They’ll also have to add in incentives (picks, retaining cap space) just to move certain guys. That’s a major mess

[dim kettle]

Almost like kicking the can down the road can lead to unintended consequences.

[robust grotto]

At least NYR have some attractive pieces, or at minimum on expiring deals. Pittsburgh is just fucked imo

Dude yeah they signed the big 3 to long extensions when really it should’ve only been Crosby

[dim kettle]

This is why I'm glad the Botls didn't give Stammer all that money

[slow violet]

If your McDermott, your telling the team. This Plane ain't landing, prepare to kamikaze

[dim kettle]

The only thing crashing and burning is the Bills defense against Mahomes in a big moment.

[robust grotto]

Absolutely dude. Well done, good management. Sucks to lose a franchise guy but with the context of that contract in hindsight… right move

[dim kettle]

It wasn't even hindsight for me. I was here saying Stammer's time was coming up soon after the Bolts won a cup without him. I just thought he'd be traded not look at the open market.

[robust grotto]

Worked out anyway

Long story short

[dim kettle]

Yep. But I also had to sit through the Tampa media saying he was the main reason the Bolts won the two straight cups because Tampa sports fan on the radio are dumb.

Like, really. Steve Carney makes my brain melt sometimes.

They give him about 20 mins and he doesn’t close games often

[fleet orbit]

that makes sense his offensive skills are a work in progress but i think long term he’ll be a good player

[slate lance]

Yet they still small

[fleet orbit]

Watching julius randle play basketball is a headache

[sacred agate]

Zach edey can be great

[slate lance]

Grizzlies main concern is health tho they a hospital

[sacred agate]

But idk I just think he’s too slow

For how much pick and roll goes on in the league

Teams will try and pull him out to three line and expose that

[fleet orbit]

cooper flagg is about to fuck shit up

that guy is gonna kill it in the nba

[proud coyote]

Honestly they’ve had a lot of big lineups this year, running a PF at SF. Something like Santi or Jake/Santi or Clarke or JJJ/JJJ or Edey, with their small lineup being just JJJ and a bunch of guards. With GG back they get even bigger

[fleet orbit]

JA tends to play a bit like D Rose he’ll go at bigs for layups

[slate lance]

at least their rebounding issue have improved 2nd in team for that

[slate lance]

Yea cause he’s a elite finisher

[fleet orbit]

he absolutely is

[slate lance]

I don’t think he’ll ever develop a jumper tho

But that’s fine

[fleet orbit]

he’s 25 so it’s still possible , and it’s not like he’s john wall level bad at shooting

[sacred agate]

He’s not a shooter

But he can still hit them

That just ain’t his game

[fleet orbit]

at least they didn’t trade towns for randle

the timberwolves are so dumb

i like hearing about women’s hoops , clark is legit , she’s nasty

I think Reese has potential but she needs some post moves and a little work

[smoky fable]

I thought it was for money reasons

[fleet orbit]

it may have been but towns is worth the money

i would’ve traded gobert instead

[sacred agate]

Same

[fleet orbit]

teams simply drag rudy out of the paint in the playoffs

dallas cooked gobert

[sacred agate]

DPOY

That’s gets cooked in the playoffs

[fleet orbit]

DPOY is a tad too slanted toward bigs

[sacred agate]

It’s a block award

Jdub said there should be a guard dpoy and a center

[fleet orbit]

i saw that , i see where he’s coming from

[proud coyote]

Rudy is an impressive defensive player in general

metrics wise he often paces everyone

[rustic mountain]

Just nice to see Shatkins do anything

We aint making the playoffs without more help tho

[proud coyote]

I don’t see the issue with giving him DPOY even if teams in the playoffs are often able to play around him if their teams are composed a certain way

those narratives are often overblown anyways

[sacred agate]

maybe if it didn’t happen every year

[proud coyote]

it doesn’t, he played quite well against the suns

And the entire team’s defense without him on vs the Mavs was historically bad

Played well against Jokic too

Besides like one game

[sacred agate]

I just feel like in todays game you gotta at least be a somewhat of a threat on switches on how prevalent pick and roll is

[proud coyote]

In that suns series he was meaningfully switching onto guards

he can do it, it’s just that his impact is deeper than that

[fleet orbit]

grizzlies are not getting anything at the rim today

[smoky fable]

He’ll never have an offensive bag at this point

Is what it is

[fleet orbit]

i just think towns is less replaceable than gobert and i feel it shows on the court

[smoky fable]

Also credited the guards and wings in McDaniels and Walker for their defense

They shut down KD and Booker for the most part

They didn’t play well overall

And the suns had no shooters at all on that team

That roster was crap and they had no viable bigs either

[fleet orbit]

the beal trade is setting the suns back years

they have almost no depth

poor ball movement

why would ben johnson want a team with no qb in place

You hear about Aaron Glenn going to the Jets. Because that's what they need. The offense being the worst aspect of the team and the Jets hire a defensive-minded coach.

Just need Baalke to be toxic enough to scare Coen away

[slow violet]

But remember the interview

Khan said if coach wants to change the gm. Fuck it will will change

[fleet orbit]

i think that either means he didn’t like baalke or he didn’t like trevor

does that mean ben…. likes ryan poles ?

[slow violet]

Khan said he would fire the gm if coach has a replacement

[fleet orbit]

so than does that again mean ben is sold on poles ?

[slow violet]

#sports message

[fleet orbit]

if the bears work out for ben poles will be forgiven

[slow violet]

I think the Jags are just a poverty franchise and he's not sold on Lawrence

[smoky fable]

You should have seen the ping I sent. They stayed till 1 your time in Florida

The interview

[slow violet]

Look even though it doesn't feel like it, I don't think the bears are a poverty franchise

[smoky fable]

I think Coen can deal with Baalke

[neat radish]

Lmao 1-1

[fleet orbit]

ehhhhh how do you figure ?

[slow violet]

The bears get primetime games, they don't have empty stadiums

Like the jags are a real poverty franchise

Their games get blacked out

No one shows up

They have nothing going for them

[fleet orbit]

ok if that’s your angle your correct , bears fans are dedicated meatballs , the team gets views , the stadium is full

bears have support

but to be fair it’s chicago, might be an easy advantage

[slow violet]

The jags are in the category with the titans

The bears have history, tradition

They are just in a huge slump

[fleet orbit]

the bears technically saved the packers franchise

if ben johnson wins in chicago he’ll be an immortal, that’s how chicago sports fans are

you can never call chicago fans phonies , we love our teams

[slow violet]

And another thing the raiders are like the bears

[dim kettle]

They also love mediocrity.

[fleet orbit]

george halas loaned the packers money, i wasn’t kidding

[slow violet]

They need the coach man, I miss seeing the Raiderz

[fleet orbit]

the bears just need to get with the times offensively , and they aren’t so far down the rabbit hole they can’t be fixed

[smoky fable]

They travel too

Even with their success in spurts

Crazy dedication for a lot of letdown in their history

[fleet orbit]

bears fans are annoying when the team is successful 😂😂😂

[smoky fable]

Tell me about it

[dim kettle]

Chicago fans are loyal but that's also the problem, they're too loyal and stupid to protest when the team is dumb and bad

[fleet orbit]

ryan poles probably knew his career as gm was over if he didn’t get this right

[slow violet]

lol if Caleb doesn't pan out his career is over

Regardless

[dim kettle]

Like the Chicago Bulls goal is not to win a title but to make it to the participation round of the playoffs. And Bull fans keep buying tickets.

[slow violet]

I think basketball a little different

The bulls need a special player

[fleet orbit]

i think you’ll think i’m insane , how are people talking about the bears like the bulls situation isn’t much worse

the bears are in a better situation than the bulls

[slow violet]

Ya the bears need a culture change

They aren't a bad team. They have good players here and there

Defense their corners are great

Pass rush needs some work, there are this moment have their QB

[fleet orbit]

our LB core is good too

[slow violet]

Pete Fix the Raiders 😭

[fleet orbit]

pete actually is more suited for the raiders situation

the jaguars job is not very good

[slow violet]

Ya jaguars are legit poverty franchise

[fleet orbit]

raiders job is doable

[slow violet]

their jerseys are ass, their GM is ass

Their owner is ass loool

[dim kettle]

I'll give Jags ownership credit. I think Khan cares. That's a lot better than you could say about a lot of other owners. But just because you care, doesn't make you a smart owner.

[fleet orbit]

Khan cares but he lacks the assertiveness

[smoky fable]

They need a plan after him. He may act young but he’s old

[fleet orbit]

baalke should not have even lasted to the end of the season

[smoky fable]

He’s ancient

[slow violet]

He looks so cool

[fleet orbit]

respect where respect is due @slow violet is supporting his guy

i can respect that

[dim kettle]

Considering now the next HC there has to talk directly toward the owner. It's going to be a fucking mess from all angles. Who wants to be coach there?

[slow violet]

Bro Pete is so underrated, people take his age too seriously

[dim kettle]

Depends on where Pete goes. He wasn't going to Chicago because he just wasn't needed there

[fleet orbit]

to be fair a franchise building from the stubs would want a young coach

[weak gull]

I pray that Dan Campbell fucking posterizes Ben Johnson next year

Calls his second worst game ever then dips in division

[dim kettle]

Hopefully Campbell finds someone as good or better as Ben.

[weak gull]

We shall see, I really see the lions staying in house for OC and DC

Although I’d be fine with going outward for DC

[slow violet]

The Dan Quinn special

🤣🤣🤣

Called the worst defense ever in the divisional round and now he's got the commanders rolling

[fleet orbit]

i can respect that

[dim kettle]

I swear to god if the Jets hire Aaron Glenn. Jets will never learn.

[fleet orbit]

ultimately detroit is still the team im worried about most , i hope the bears are ready for it next year

[slow violet]

The jets are a poverty franchise 😭

[fleet orbit]

lions will be fine

[weak gull]

I actually think you could hire anyone in NY

It’s never gonna change with woody though. I actually like Glenn as a HC

[slow violet]

Lions will be fine, Campbell is a great HC

[fleet orbit]

i think glenn goes to new york

[weak gull]

Jets are a lot like the lions pre Sheila

Is anything going to be good enough with who is at the top? I doubt it

[fleet orbit]

i can’t tell lions fans how they should feel but i hope there isn’t hard feelings that he stayed in division

[dim kettle]

The Jets have had 14-15 season without the playoffs. And out of all the head coaches the Jets have had during that time period, 1 out of 4 have been an offensive mind at HC

[rustic mountain]

What a beautiful memory

[smoky fable]

His options aren’t the greatest though

[fleet orbit]

although detroit and chicago fans historically have beef

[smoky fable]

Either them or the saints

But you only have so many chances to be a head coach

[slow violet]

Now it's never going to happen again 😭

[smoky fable]

Damn it’s been 6 years?

[weak gull]

We probably have the least beef between any team combo in the north

[dim kettle]

Jets always about the defense when the offense wins you games.

[fleet orbit]

because we’ve both lost a lot 😂😂😂

[rustic mountain]

6 years since I've known true success

[fleet orbit]

i only really hate green bay

vikings it’s more like a playful hate

[weak gull]

Lions fans don’t really dislike the bears and it’s fine when flipped as well

It’s fuck Ben Johnson rn, but it will blow over

[slow violet]

Vikings are a for fun franchise

They will never win anything

[weak gull]

If he ain’t call that stinker 2 days ago it really wouldn’t be a big deal

[smoky fable]

Damn

[slow violet]

The Vikings are like a retirement home

[smoky fable]

Now you know what the rest of the world feels

[fleet orbit]

for sure

maybe glenn and ben had their eyes toward the next season but who knows

[rustic mountain]

Brother I did not realize how much shit talk was going on with the Lions pre commanders game

[fleet orbit]

cue the rodgers will go to minnesota

[slow violet]

Players love hanging out on the Vikings but they will never win anything. If Justin Jefferson wants to be really win he should leave

[dim kettle]

The refs are more bias toward the Chiefs than any other team I can remember. Shows a clip of roughing the passer on Brady being slapped on the shoulder.

[smoky fable]

There was shit talk?

[rustic mountain]

Amon Ra dismissing Diyami Brown is the main one I saw

[weak gull]

I doubt it

Ben just had a shit game (he has 1-2 a year), Glenn was working with scraps like he was all year. Bound to get beat one day.

[fleet orbit]

because they have been the capital of bridge QBs

[smoky fable]

That was from three years ago I think.

Where he said he didn’t know that guys name

[rustic mountain]

Maybe I was mistaken then

[fleet orbit]

i’m just hoping the bears can give the lions issue and do damage in the north

i just want the bears to be good

[weak gull]

Bro that shit was from like 3 years ago

Idk why they dug it up

[rustic mountain]

It was from thatsgoodsports I was listening to while working

[smoky fable]

People always enjoy a narrative

[fleet orbit]

vikings need to roll with JJ and see what they have

[rustic mountain]

Amon Ra and then Ben Johnson being put off by the commies owners being basketball guys

[dim kettle]

J.J. McCarthy needs his shot in Minnny, man. They traded up to get him and the Viks have little draft picks this year because they managed their draft stocks terribly the last few years.

[smoky fable]

He probably does

Darnold already took them as high as he could with the help he got

[weak gull]

There is no beef between the lions and commanders. It’s just fuck Frankie Luvu, but all fan bases should be saying that for the 3 dirty ass hits he’s delivered on opposing QBs this year

[fleet orbit]

i think vikings probably move on

[rustic mountain]

Luvu def has some dirty shit

But I cant lie I am happy for my brother

[smoky fable]

Never liked him as a panther

But he’s talented

[rustic mountain]

I hope they do well against the Eagles

Would make me really happy to see the Commies make the sb

[smoky fable]

Tough though in Philly and against those OL and DL

Big mismatches

[weak gull]

Josh Allen deliver us from evil

Amen

[rustic mountain]

How can he deliver us from what he is

Sab would side with the chiefs every time

Never will admit support to the Bills and Allen

[rustic mountain]

Yes. The only valid preception at this time

[slow violet]

Loooool raiders fans are seething

[smoky fable]

The qb

And you can’t bring back Tom either

[rustic mountain]

I like that Jakobi Meyers is toiling away in Vegas

[rustic mountain]

Literally the most embarrassing play in New England Patriots history

[weak gull]

Jakobi is a good wideout

He needed that change after the NE mishaps though

[rustic mountain]

He can be a hofer for all I care, I will always be a Meyers hater

[fleet orbit]

damn mac jones was just there to die on that play

[rustic mountain]

He shouldn't have even had to

Meyers and Stevenson are morons

But at least Stevenson didnt do that

[fleet orbit]

you’re right mac was just collateral

[rustic mountain]

Meyers is a full on idiot

[weak gull]

Was fun watching Mac get stiff armed like that admittedly 😂

[rustic mountain]

Seeing what he became for us

Yeah

[dim kettle]

It just feels like a rematch of Chiefs and Eagles at this point. But Bills and Eagles though...

[weak gull]

He was also pulling dirty shit

[rustic mountain]

Yes. He was.

I hated it

I hate that era of Pats football so much dude

Doesn't even feel like the team I love. From like 2020 til now

Just. Awful.

Literally the most unenjoyable time

[weak gull]

Pain hits different when it’s fresh

[slow violet]

I see the path forward
Raiders hire Pete as HC
Sign Russ on a 3 year extension
Fix the run game

The defense for the raiders is ok fixable

[thorn hornet]

Jose Sa fucking sucks my God

[smoky fable]

He might be their best option

I’m not even kidding

[slow violet]

Lol I'm not either

[rustic mountain]

Yeah. Now it's just kinda I don't expect anything from this team. Vrabel and Maye are nice but I need proof before I believe anything

[slow violet]

I know for a fucking fact that Pete can beat Jim Harbaugh

[rustic mountain]

Pete taking the Raiders job is. Odd

To me

As an idea

[dim kettle]

I've seen 2011 disaster, I've seen the soap opera known as the 2013 Bucs, 2014 speaks for itself. But 2022 was easily the most annoyed I felt about the Bucs. Brady declining but the media also ignoring Leftwich sucking as OC. It was just so annoying knowing what's wrong with the team and the media acting like it's a mystery.

[rustic mountain]

Dude is old old and that teams needs a TON of work

[slow violet]

trust me when he came to us he was in his late 50s

[smoky fable]

If they do hire him, they need to have a successor later down the line

[fleet orbit]

that’s probably why bears got ben , they needed less work than the rest of the other teams

[slow violet]

And we were a straight poverty franchise

Nothing going for us and he built us up from the studs

Now we did hit on one of the greatest drafts of the decade so that helps for sure

[dim kettle]

The Raiders fired another GM after one year. Like, the Raiders have no direction.

[rustic mountain]

I saw the rumor dennis allen leads the dc candidates for BJ

Lmao BJ & the Bear(s)

Hilarious

[fleet orbit]

Raiders problem as a place to become a coach is davis will fire coaches really quickly , that scares off people

[dim kettle]

Raiders are simply just bad.

[fleet orbit]

i really wanna know who his oc is

[slow violet]

Because Davis listens to too many people

[rustic mountain]

Jen Bohnson

[weak gull]

Him

[rustic mountain]

He will 100% call the plays

[dim kettle]

Mark Davis should not be running a football team from a management standpoint and financial standpoint

[weak gull]

He will have a pass game coordinator or asst to the head coach for input like most HCs that call their own plays. but he will call plays himself

[rustic mountain]

You dont hire Ben Johnson and then dont let him make the play calls

That kinda defeats half the purpose of hiring him

[weak gull]

Would be a very bears thing to do

But even they aren’t that dumb

[dim kettle]

The Raiders just feel like they belong alongside the Pirates and Islanders as these great teams from the 70s/80s but you forget exist now.

[fleet orbit]

raiders do too many stupid things to forget about

dolphins are more forgettable

[smoky fable]

Al made them unforgettable for the good in the past but the bad near his death

[dim kettle]

The Raiders also aren't Cleveland Skidmarks levels bad. So they aren't even at their level.

[smoky fable]

They really fizzled out after Marino huh

[dim kettle]

It was just more of a sad decline Al Davis had.

[smoky fable]

Had some good years at spurts

[fleet orbit]

the dolphins mismanagement of free agency is the culprit

The Phins are the Vikings of the AFC

They are player retirement home

A for fun franchise

[smoky fable]

I’d say the chargers

[smoky fable]

No one wants to retire to Minnesota

It’s too cold

[slow violet]

I mean it's for players to just enjoy life

They don't have standards

When I saw that the Vikings had the highest player rating in the NFLPA poll it made so much sense .... They are SOFT

[dim kettle]

The Vikings are a different breed. They're the type of team that's always having elite regular seasons and then choking when it matters most.

I don't know why you'd ever trust the Vikings to make deep playoff runs. 2009 was close, otherwise whenever the Vikings have made it to the NFC title game it usually was the other team self-destructing.

[slow violet]

they arn't a serious franchise

the lions with dan campbell are more serious than them

[dim kettle]

The problem is they say the Viks are always cursed when it's all in their fucking heads

[smoky fable]

Good news for your Bills is that Brady is sticking with you guys as an OC. @modest totem

Looks like

So you’ll have continuity

[dim kettle]

The Viks made multiple SB appearances in the 70s and majority of those appearences happened to be with an elite QB in Fran Tarkenton. What has been the Vikings common denominator with their failures to make it back? They didn't have the game changer at QB.

Old man Brett Favre was closest they got to a game changer.

[modest totem]

Love that for us

[rustic mountain]

I am so torn. I dont wanna see a chiefs sb again

But I hate the Bills so damn much

Eh. Go Chiefs

Ready to see the Bills lose trying to kick a game-winning FG but get's blocked? Because I know you love the sequels.

the winner of the nfc north this postseason has been….. the bears ?

It sucks because Josh Allen did everything he could to win the game against KC in 2021 and the defense laid an egg when it mattered most

I am very much more fine with Josh Allen being labeled Patrick's whipping boy and him getting a ring vs Josh Allen ever appearing in a sb

He led to two goals vs Brentford

@rustic mountain i honestly figured patriots were going to their lineage , they tend to

[neat radish]

Lmao I love how we forgot about merino

[thorn hornet]

Can't wait till we get a striker, like an actual one not those false nines or tens

I need poachers

[thorn hornet]

Lmao he's just "there"

Slowmo Man

[neat radish]

Sesko going to Arsenal because he saw a insta story here we go🗣️

[neat radish]

He’s just a replacement for pyramid Pirlo imo

[thorn hornet]

Calafiori viewed my story before he was gonna come

I swear

[thorn hornet]

RIP Elneny I miss you 🕊️

[neat radish]

I don’t like the fact that there’s no wenger signings left anymore 🙏

[thorn hornet]

Eras come to an end

As Ten Hag would say

[slow violet]

@fleet orbit just remember to look at the coach after 3 years, the first year will either be a surprise (goes great) or bad. The second year will be a little better a little more stable but the record might not improve. Year 3 is when it starts getting stable, 3 draft classes start playing up to expectations and this is the time you judge the coach

[thorn hornet]

Can't wait until we end up with Nicholas Jackson on deadline day

Arteta would go into my suicide note

Twitter ITK's cryptic messages about incoming Arsenal transfer news only to end up with no links

[fleet orbit]

that’s a good accurate timeline , only coach bears had recently that didn’t get 3 or essentially 3 was Trestman , and that was historically awful

[slow violet]

ya the only time i see a coach getting fired before year 3 is if he completly lost the locker room and i don't mean the Vets, but the young guys too

[fleet orbit]

or just clearly dreadful game management

[rustic mountain]

It is and isnt tbh

Yes Vrabes played for us

But he never coached under Bill

In fact he made a point of that

[slow violet]

thats not that bad, its very hard to figure that out right away from coordinator to HC.

i think Mike Macdonald did great for his first year, but he had some serious blunders in game management

[fleet orbit]

or the x and os are just dreadful

[slow violet]

i'm a believer that Players make the X's and Os

so by year 3 he will have all his guys

[fleet orbit]

@rustic mountain tbh i just think chicago always generates hype

besides the sox , they’re so bad

[proud coyote]

lol espn

hawks breaking the rules?

[dim kettle]

Trestman. lol. Andy Reid is on the market. Bruce Arians is on the market. BEARS FOOTBALL!! be like: We're to the CFL and hiring Trestman!

[fleet orbit]

Reid i don’t think was happening but we had arians almost in the bag and didn’t hire him

he could’ve actually helped jay , who was such a disappointment

[dim kettle]

Cutler had everything but the leadership skills and caring 100%

[rustic mountain]

I mean they do but I enjoy that because tbh I kinda want a quiet rebuild year. Solid progress but I want a foundation built

Id rather the Bears be the shocker team

[fleet orbit]

Eh he didn’t really know how to audible

[dim kettle]

I meant like tools

He had an arm

[fleet orbit]

tools i agree , he had a bazooka

[burnt cedar]

Agree with it all but think we should try to cash in on Trossard

Don’t think he’ll sign

[fleet orbit]

i think that’s what the patriots need !! to fly under the radar

i like drake maye , you guys got a good qb

very talented

[burnt cedar]

Willing to give kiwior another year but not fussed if he goes

[rustic mountain]

Well thanks Lebowski. I hope so and I hope the best for Caleb

I want the Bears to do well

[fleet orbit]

thank you!! this 10 year stretch has been brutal besides 2018

[burnt cedar]

Thinking about it if we get a striker then Havertz can go too but it’s highly unrealistic

[dim kettle]

Its hard to ignore 2018 ending the way it did

[fleet orbit]

i definitely am not but at least the bears were good

everything else sucked

[hollow wind]

2018 Khalil Mack was fun

[dim kettle]

Jon Gruden trading the Raiders key players was quite the event

[fleet orbit]

raiders had no reason to trade mack

dennis allen was a great hire

[dim kettle]

Gruden wanted the team in his image and that imagine was like he was still coaching in 98

[fleet orbit]

looking forward to seeing how the cowboys and raiders handle this

[fleet orbit]

So cover 2, QB whose at best the 14th best

[dim kettle]

Poor Derek Carr could never get back to his 2016 levels

[fleet orbit]

that leg injury broke him

he never handled pressure well since

that raiders team was good too

[dim kettle]

Defense was flawed. But they didn't deserve the fate they were given

[thorn hornet]

Not a big loss, so eh

[thorn hornet]

We're already to thin in attack so I doubt it, but I'm still willing to give him more time

Trossard wouldn't be a big loss financially or performance wise

[fleet orbit]

this warriors team really isn’t very good

[fleet orbit]

nah that was a cursed raiders team

[rapid yoke]

agree with all but tomi

Arsenals no1 target is Sesko. The price rumoured is close to RB valuation.

Agent has been here & had talks. Player is happy to move now.

Why we haven’t pulled the trigger I do not know.

Typical Arsenal leaving everything to the last minute.

If I had to guess today:

The Ben Johnson domino changes things so I tried to account for the outcomes here.

Patriots: it was Vrabel all along that was easy.

Jets: I think Aaron Glenn is who they want, if he were to choose New Orleans this starts to get interesting I suspect
