The NFL Thread - Root for your favorite team (or laugh at the Steelers, whichever's easier)

Mike Tomlin is currently the only black coach still employed, so expect to hear the racism accusations and Rooney Rule any time now. Adam Schefter is already tweeting it.

I'm already seeing rumors that over half of the job openings will be filled by black coaches, just so we can have this same conversation four years from now.

Texans fired Culley which is kind of weird. He comes in to the job with nothing to work with since his predecessor traded that ALL away and his starting QB wrapped up in a rape beef but still managed to win 4 games. The fuck were the Texans expecting?

Houston still owes him 17 mil guaranteed so good for him in that respect.

Michael Kay jumped all over it on his show.

Barry Saunders was on GMFB this morning. He really seemed to like Dan Campbell. That's promising for the Lions. Maybe after Stupid Sexy Rodgers retires Detroit can actually do something.

30 consecutive years of HoF QB's in Green Bay tends to result in liver failure for fans of the rest of the division

 

[Hollywood Hulk Hogan]

I kind of feel bad for Culley. Not even Belichick could have a good season with that roster. 4-13 is way better than I had expected them to do

 

[RumblyTumbly]

My predictions for Wildcard Weekend:

1. Raiders Vs. Bengals = Tough call that could go either way, but I'm feeling the Raiders here. They have demonstrated a resilience this season that is pretty remarkable.
2. Bills Vs. Patriots = Never count Belichik out entirely, but I'm pulling for the Bills. They have made great strides the last couple of seasons and now is the time to finally get passed the Music City Miracle
3. Buccaneers Vs. Eagles = Tampa Bay all the way. I don't see Philly winning this. I've seen bigger upsets, but I would be shocked if Tampa lost this one.
4. 49ers Vs. Dallas = I don't see Dallas going all the way as they are in that position of being great against weak ass teams, but then losing to above average ones. I don't see SF knocking them out though. Dallas takes this one.
5. Chiefs Vs. Steelers = Pittsburgh kind of limp dicked their way into the playoffs and after a sluggish start to the season, the Chiefs have found their fire again and got hot at the right time. I'm going KC on this one.
6. Rams Vs. Cardinals = I'm pulling for AZ as I kind of have a soft spot for them, but I think LA is taking this one.

It appears like they set him up to fail so they could wait out the fallout from the last couple years and get a more desirable candidate. The same thing the 49ers did with Tomsula.

 

[Beresford's Whip]

San Francisco seems like they're finally starting to click, I could see them making a good run of things.

 

[killuminati]

The Bungles somehow managed to not Bungle it at the very last second. 1st playoff win in 31 years, congratulations.

 

[Local Fed]

The first game went about as I expected: close, but with a Cincy victory. Vegas should feel good about themselves after all the shit they went through this season.

I think the game coming up will be a Bills win. Isaiah Wynn is out for the Patriots at left tackle and I just don't see Mac Jones doing enough tonight to allow the Patriots to have a working balanced offensive attack; they're certainly going to need to pass more than 3 times this game. The Patriots should feel good though about this season. After a poor start they've done well and Jones looks like he's going to be a solid successor to Brady, but their dynasty days are over.

A late season surging Chiefs over the Packers for the Super Bowl title is my prediction.

 

[Salubrious]

It'll be interesting to see if Mac Jones and the Patriots can play an attacking game. They won in Buffalo last time by just running literally all but three plays.

Now they are down 20-0, so let's see if Mac Jones can win with his arm.

 

[Shirō Ishii]

this looks to be the biggest playoff ass-kicking in Belichick's career

 

[Sex Cannon Lupa]

Pats getting reamed out in front of the nation, but I still have hope for an epic Bills collapse in the second half.

 

[Salubrious]

It's 33-3 and all of Western New York is now furiously masturbaiting.

 

[Elwood P. Dowd]

I fell asleep and missed the first half. Now I wish I hadn't woken up. 75-6 at this rate or so. Ouch.

Quick game summary for those that aren't watching.

Edit: Excluding receiving the kickoff to end the first half, all seven Buffalo offensive drives have ended in touchdowns.

 

[spinal gas chamber]

I thought this game or Cards/Rams would be the best game this weekend. Maybe the Cinci/LV game will turn out to be the best.

I can’t wait for the BB presser though. That will be fantastic.

I still argue that the Bills beating the shit out of the Patriots will be the "best" game this weekend.

"We're on to a new QB."

All jokes aside, Mac&Cheese hasn't played that bad for his rookie season and playoff game. BB's defense looks gassed though, which is a rarity.

Season yes, playoff game? Can’t wait to see FO rating next week.

E: LMAO that hunter Henry drop will count as an incomplete but had nothing to do with Jones. BB is going to lose his shit

The Bills did not punt in the last game vs. the Patriots, either. Eight consecutive quarters, zero punts.

There's a lot of NFL stuff I'll freely admit I don't understand, but even I know that ain't good.
