That's fair.

I thought McCoy, but he was a trade.

Thank you for the McCoy trade tip, I’m shooting 100 again!

So perfectly Jets. There really isn't a way for them to get value on a QB pick now. Darnold forever!

That play/call was so fucking bad the Giants should have to immediately forfeit the game.

So I head into tonight's game down 1 point in my fantasy leagues semi-finals with the Steelers defense against the Bengals and a back up QB. My opponent is done so I need only 2 points from them to advance to the finals.

In this shit show of 2020 what could possible go wrong?

Looks like Ben is leading the "tank for a QB" game plan in Pittsburgh. I don't think I've seen a Pissburgh team this bad since the 80's. This is awful. What a change from a few weeks ago. This is like giving up 51 to the Browns on opening day.

The Steelers have been absolutely screwed on a number of flags (starting with the obvious block in the back that they missed on the scary looking injury to Derek Watt) but man... Ben has just been absolutely awful the entire game. If he's reading the game that badly it might be time to call it a day, but as the Steelers don't have anybody to replace him I'm sure they will bring him back.

LOL at complaining the Steelers ever get screwed on flags against the Bengals. There's still like a 10 year discrepancy to overcome

Yes, should have been PI on the last drive. No, it's not an excuse for losing. They sucked again and deserved it.

Offensively that was the worst first half I can remember an NFL team playing in recent memory. It was like the Bengals were playing a different speed.

Due to assorted covid fuckups the Lions will have an interim interim head coach for Saturday's game, the QB coach will be calling the offensive plays and a research assistant will be calling the defense.

Can’t be any worse than what we’ve had the last few seasons. Tom Brady is going to carve this defense up like a Christmas ham.

If ever there was a time to let the AI call plays, this would be it.

Just curious.. why couldn't coaches be setup with a coaches whole field view camera feed and call plays. Also be involved through video to the sidelines to communicate with players. Could be done without even being in the stadium I would think unless there is some rule against it? Which there may be to prevent cheating or perceived cheating in a normal world without pandemic?

I think that last part would be the reason. In a world of sideline cameras and sideline headsets coincidentally cutting out at random times, I don't think this is a can the league has any interest in opening.

Why did the Vikings not just clock it? They just wasted 16 seconds and their last time out...?

This shouldn’t be something that is either noticeable or praiseworthy; in a sad indictment of the rest of the league, the 49ers sound tackling is standing out to me today

Dola, this was written about one minute before James Lofton described it as a tackling clinic by the 49ers. I’m wasted here... or is that getting wasted?

What really bugged me about that call is they didn't call offensive PI on Algholor on the previous possession when he scored a long TD. I think if you call one of those, you have to call both.

Glad the Dolphins pulled out the miracle, so it didn't matter. What a season!

If Browns lose twice, they're out even if Miami loses to Buffalo next week.

The Jets beating the Browns is the perfect outcome for a Dolphins fan. They don’t get the #1 pick, and I think we move ahead of the Browns in the playoff race too!

Running through the scenarios, it looks like the only way for Miami to miss the playoffs is if they lose and all three of Indianapolis, Cleveland, and Baltimore win.

Looks like the Ravens (@Bengals) and Colts (v. Jaguars) should both win, so our insurance policy is Steelers @ Browns. Still 50:50 whether Dolphins get in for me

Bills winning will be good for us as well, as that will lock them into the 2nd seed and nothing at all to play for next week.

JJ Watt not holding back. Maybe BOB wasn’t the only problem in Houston

Edit - although he would have certainly been involved in setting the culture
