2025/26 NFL

That fucker is going to win out with meaningless games and get to come back next season isn't he?

That was so petty by the Steelers. Mike Tomlin is petty though.

I honestly think they wanted to lose. Imagine throwing to MVS against Denzel Ward on three consecutive occasions when only 6 yards out. Yes, they did not have DK but they would have had at least one TE against a Browns LB or safety (the best LB could hardly move and Bush is poor at defending the pass). It's almost as if they wanted to put Cleveland out of reach from drafting a QB.

The Steelers are the only team this season to fail to score a touchdown against the Browns.

Regardless of win:loss record, the Browns have an excellent defense. If the Browns had a functional offense,they would have won the AFC North and be play off team. The defense should be stronger next year with the return of Emerson and Owusu-Koramoah (fingers crossed) who both missed the entire season.

The Steelers were so obsessed with not taking any risks that could lead to Garrett getting the sack record, they pretty much sabotaged their own offense. It was petty and it led to them losing and maybe missing out on the playoffs.

Raheem Morris, I want him fired out of a cannon into the sun

Hahaha, I feel the same way about Zac Taylor. Just hope that he didn’t sign a secret contract with the club like ZT did. Your roster is far too talented to be where ye are.

Blank is far too sentimental sadly, can only imagine that's what gave Morris the job in the first place especially when you see the talented coaches doing well that were interviewed and available last off season.

He shit the bed as interim HC after Quinn, was let go and not hired full time, didn't get a head coaching job between getting re-hired here. Absolute shambles.

Keep Ulbrich, fuck the rest off. Sadly won't happen though
 
Just watched the Elway documentary. Highly recommended. Met him in London outside his hotel near park lane when I was there for NFL back in the day when teams came over for a pre season game.. I'd a t shirt with Giant's super bowl champions on it and he was happy to stop, chat and have photos taken
 
In for a right treat today. Starting off at 9:30 with a winner goes home Panthers vs Buccaneers (come on Carolina). Then if anyone is up for a late one, at 1 it’s Seattle vs the 49ers. Winner takes the NFC’s one seed.

I reckon both teams lose the first game because the South is an embarrassment sadly

That’s an NFC south game - Saints vs Falcons will be a good watch tomorrow

Normally I'd agree, I genuinely think it's the most underrated rivalry in the league driven by pure hatred of the other.

However, we're absolutely shite and I can see both teams losing just because.

Follow up on this - that was as raggy as a game gets. Terrible refereeing with the Dowdle backwards pass (made them kick a missed fg), Carolina’s TE Tremble got his helmet ripped off when he was blocking, no penalty. Next play, McMillan OPI call on 3rd&2 (killed the drive, forced a punt), and then the DPI call against Carolina when Cade Otton tripped himself up. Rags will be rags, I guess.
 
Just got it on in the background; I wouldn't pretend to be a fan, to be honest. Just wondering, though, where do they get the pronunciation of "jaguar" from? I mean, seriously? "Jag-war"?
 
It's funny the difference in attitude between the NFL and football with teams resting players for games they're not arsed about winning but have huge consequences for other teams.

I've never even heard anybody question it. Just imagine if a team over here had to win a game for the title and the opponents fielded a complete reserve side? They'd be riots in the streets and questions asked in The House.

Not saying we're right and they're wrong. Just noting the difference in attitude.

There is no relegation so once a team cannot win anything or it is guaranteed playoffs they seem to rest players with impunity, whereas if Arsenal played a reserve team last game against say West Ham it could have serious consequences
