The NFL Thread -

I can't predict games worth a shit this season. I'm really glad I'm not a betting man, because these past 3 weeks would have put me in the hole. For example, I thought the Steelers would have a gimme game against the Jaguars, but of course not, because the Steelers have to play down to their competition.

Never in my wildest dreams did I think the Giants would be the only team in New York without a win by the end of week 5. Their O-line is something else. Even when playing against a team like the Chargers, that are notorious for throwing games away in the 4th quarter, they can't pull one out. I know a lot of Giants fans have been calling for McAdoo's head, and 3 weeks ago, I would have been telling them to calm their tits, but I'm really starting to side with them. When their is less than 2 minutes in the game, your team is down by 5, and you're telling your QB to throw short 3 yard passes down the middle, their is something seriously fucking wrong with you. Eli's just as responsible for losing the game for throwing 2 picks in the 4th, but the play calling by McAdoo was just awful. At this point, the Giants should at least consider hiring on an OC.

Also, if the Trubisky-led Bears end up beating the Vikings tonight, I'm going to be pissed.

Well at least that didn't fall apart as much as it tried too. But Trubinsky has some serious promise if that game is any indicator.

This actually describes a lot of teams this year. Raiders, Cowboys, Packers, Giants, Falcons. The list goes on. This was a year of disappointing teams that didn't live up to the hype. The NFC had been a real head scratcher this season. I don't think anybody thought that by the end of the season, the Saints, Rams, Vikings, and Eagles would be the leaders of their respective divisions.

Btw, I was legit angry that the Ravens clinched a play off spot last week. They are such a garbage team and don't deserve to be anywhere near the playoffs with how mediocre they've been this year. Their offense is so awful. They can be really hard to watch at times.

The only thing I'm hyped about in the AFC is seeing if the Browns are going to lay that golden goose egg by the end of the week. They are playing away at the Steelers, so there's a favorable chance it will happen. Even against Pittsburgh's 3rd stringers, I don't see Cleveland winning this game.

Kinda of glad the Jaguars made the playoffs.

To be fair, they really should be 0-17, after they lost to both the Steelers and themselves today.

I nominate that any shit stain someone leaves on their underwear be called a Cleveland Brown.

Ah, I've finally found a thread about NFL on here.

So, Patriots are taking it again this year right?

How bizarre would it be to see the Steelers go against the Eagles in the Super Bowl. I ask because I was reminded when Hank Hill fantasized about an all Texas Super Bowl with the Cowboys going against the Texans. And watching two teams from the same state playing against each other sounds fun to watch.

Gotta say, I'm no Vikings fan, but the final play of the game was fricking nice. Definitely made up for Pittsburgh's amazingly shit-tastic performance earlier in the day and being raked over the coals by Jacksonville of all teams.

 

[Dirt McGirt]

I'm still not convinced the Vikings are gonna fully shake their typical postseason luck this time around

That was easily worse than the Rahim Moore fuckup in 2012.

All Williams had to do was STAND THERE and tackle Diggs when he came down. I was in total shock he whiffed that badly. I'm rooting for anybody but the Vikings since I'm a Packers fan. Hoping this doesn't lead to the fucking Vikings winning the Super Bowl, in their own goddamn building, no less. Will never hear the end of that.
Still, Keenum will have to be a lot better than he was if the Vikings are going to beat the Eagles. Keenum got lucky he only had one interception, guy was throwing ducks all day.

My business partner is so mad that the Vikes took a knee instead of a PAT at the end because it didn't cover the spread

God do I hate American Football. And this season has been especially annoying due to how "exciting" everything was during the New Years weekend.

Its unfortunately at the point where I gotta have at least a peripheral knowledge of things, being now I'm on year 2 of bartending, and people at the bar are there to watch football. I literally can't tell which color is what, which city is which team, and even where the hell the Ball itself is. And if you come back 20 minutes later, to find either your favored team has not scored anything and ask me whats up, all I'll think is that YOU are the one who watches and enjoys this entirely too-slow paced of a game. I can't even tell where the fuck the ball is, let alone why its not on the other side.

As for which city is which team, blame that on the fact that THE SAME GODDAMN FIVE TEAMS ARE NARROWED DOWN TO TWO FOR THE SUPER BOWL. And this is something that I absolutely hate, and it prevents me from learning more about the whole league.

Its always
New England Patriots
Denver Broncos
Seattle Seahawks
New Orleans Saints
Atlanta

And yes, there have been teams on recent years not in that list, but since I've been counting (starting in the year Beyonce Knowles ran the half-time show, transformed into a demon on camera and caused a big blackout during the game) the Super Bowl has included at least ONE of the five teams I've included.

And going right back to why I just don't enjoy it in the least is I can't. Fucking. Tell. Where. The. Ball. Is.

And this threads right back into some positivity. I fucking love watching Basketball on Tv. Basketball on Tv is so much fun to watch. The end of season is when I'm actually included in sports conversations because I actually do know a bit more. Perhaps not the statistical side, but the analytical side. My manager and I were actually making Broom jokes to my boss bartender who's a big Lebron fan when he was in danger of getting sweeped.

In Basketball, I can see where the ball is, in Football, all I see is men running.

Boohoo. You know what its like to get shit on every year by Aaron Rodgers and his goddamn hulk Hogan mustache? You still have your rings, we just want one after decades of playoff humiliation.

Vikings / Jags Super Bowl, it’s happening.

If it weren’t for the fact we got a Cubs/Indians World Series 2 years ago, this would be the weirdest championship game in awhile.
