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

[Blewberry Nausea]

Yeah I remember there was also the Lingerie Football League which was hilarious in these times of Wahmen Power.

It is still around as the x league owned by Ditka.

Calling it now - someone is going to see the swell in the Female Demographic and start a WNFL - only for it to be on life support even harder than the WNBA, because Women are watching to see Taylor Swift more than anything else.

A WNFL would be instantly pozzed by trannies and roided-out sheboons. You would have more enjoyment watching civil war footage from South Sudan.

And it would become as subsidized by the NFL the way that the WBNA is subsidized by the NBA.

In other words, welfare for something people pretend to support but care not a god damn thing about.

That Lingerie Football League was legit entertaining at times. At least a few of the YouTube highlights were funny as fuck.

Although I will say that there were some violent hits in that league which would all be flagged by the faggot ass refs in the NFL.

As he should. He has absolutely no qualifications to be a Head Coach.

Being a shitstain whose most significant accomplishment is relaying Reid’s plays to Mahomes doesn’t exactly inspire confidence that he can get the job done as a HC.

Chiefs also made the Super Bowl without him, so there’s that too.

There is also the rumor that he is very difficult to work with.

It's telling how Bieniemy keeps getting passed up for head coaching jobs despite the media's effort to push this guy.

I thought for a while it just might be because it was easy for people to think Reid and Mahomes did all the hard work and he was just a Nagy-style clipboard holder, but when Washington still had an ass offense this year and he started telling the media about holding his players to high standards I realized "oh, this guy's another self-righteous incompetent".
It's actually a little funny that he didn't come from Belichick's tree, given that.

Its almost like he isn't that good of a coach and coordinator is his ceiling

I'm sure Howell got berated for not magically being Mahomes.

Bienemy called a bizarre amount of plays where Howell was expected to roll out of the pocket and extend the play until someone got open.

Didn't this dude had a bunch of run-ins with the law back in the day?

Sure but so did like half of coaches in the hall of fame when they were collegiate athletes used to being star of the town.
Shit comes with the territory. I don't hold any of that against him, most of it was either traffic law bullshit or Ray Lewis scenarios where his chief crime was not throwing whatever one of his homies escalated things under the bus.

 

[std::string]

Didn't this dude had a bunch of run-ins with the law back in the day?

Yeah but nothing that would stop an NFL team from hiring him.

I think the real problem is that he's kind of a dick. You can hold players accountable but you can't just yell at them like they're high school kids. He'd be like the anti-Tomlin as HC.

Hot take: the Pro Bowl Games are more fun to watch than the Pro Bowl originally was and the skill competition is a great addition to the post season.

Honestly better than a single game where everyone plays half speed with a gimped defense.

 

[Blewberry Nausea]

I think the pro bowl should be mud wrassling contest between top cheerleaders personally.

When there is a competition that these guys will actually take seriously, it is actually enjoyable. A game where they could get hurt was never going to be taken seriously. But these skill competitions are something that they can compete in without being hurt. So it will be more enjoyable, even if it isn't football

 

[Mourning_Cloak]

I'm not big into football, and all the nearest NFL teams usually don't do much, so speaking as a casual NFL spectator... my God is this the shittiest match up. Can they both lose?

Baltimore Ravens VS Detroit Lions would've been so insane. Such a meme. I usually pick based on mascots and I've always thought Baltimore had the coolest one. Plus Detroit is a meme itself and such a shithole. The Lions haven't done much in a hot minute, it would be nice for them to get a dubskie. I may have actually watched that game.

And how did my workplace amass so many Kansas City fans? We are lightyears away from there.

Probably because they've got a reasonable chance to be the next real dynasty in the sport (and North American major sports,) the media is clamouring to anoint Patrick Mahomes as Tom Brady's brown heir as the greatest quarterback of all time, and now add that their Hall of Fame tight end is dating the most famous woman in the English speaking world, Taylor Swift (you'd barely know that one though to be fair since they rarely mention or show her during NFL broadcasts.) Kansas City also seems like a pretty inoffensive market for football casual bandwagon crowd as it's not quite as controversial as rooting for the city of Los Angeles, New York, etc.

 

[Squanto Airi]

I do wish, in lieu of the Pro Bowl, there's the consolation bowl of the Championship Game losers.

Bandwagons are in every sport my friend.

I'm interested to see if Mahomes can keep this up. The dude is 28 years old and mobile qbs tend to age like milk after they hit 30 and lose a step.
