I’ve never understood why Seattle hasn’t invested in at least a semi-competent offensive line. Goff can barely throw a ball right now but the Rams line is the difference in the game.

cuervo72 · 01-09-2021, 08:07 PM

Man, LA/SEA is as long as an SEC game.

Carman Bulldog · 01-09-2021, 08:15 PM

I have to think that the Bucs were rooting hard for the Seahawks there. They probably would have loved to have seen a rematch with the Packers rather than a third meeting with the Saints.

Jas_lov · 01-09-2021, 08:29 PM

Yeah, I'm glad the Packers will likely face the banged up Rams and not the Bucs next week.

cuervo72 · 01-09-2021, 10:25 PM

From that angle, I'm not convinced that punt didn't hit his fanny pack.

bhlloy · 01-09-2021, 11:15 PM

Heineke feels like he could start somewhere in the league... I guess maybe he’s the starter in Washington next year.

albionmoonlight · 01-10-2021, 12:08 AM

Heineke for the 1.1.

Who says no? :-)

muns · 01-10-2021, 01:31 AM

Lol Washington

Heinicke definitely changed the course of his life when given the opportunity to start last night. I think at the very least he put himself into a A.J. McCarron/Case Keenum/Colt McCoy category, where he should be able to find consistent work as a backup every year.

Assessing quarterbacks is a funny thing. It's hard to believe that there are 100 quarterbacks on NFL rosters that are better than him. Yet no team saw him worthy of a top three spot on their depth chart.

That takes us to the guy that he was playing against, who was passed on six times by all 31 teams, and had six other quarterbacks picked before him.

And then we go to Josh Allen. I'm surprised someone hasn't gone through some old threads yet for the hot takes we had on Allen in years past (many I would say which were justifiable). I don't think anyone saw Allen as a top 3 QB and MVP candidate in 2020 prior to the season starting.

Well it just came out the kid is also a very vocal trump supporter with a ton of online tweets against liberals and black people. So maybe not so fast.

As long as he didn't mention Native Americans ...

This is the first time in our database (complete back to 1994) that a team in the playoffs punted on 4th and 2 from this field position, down by one score in the 4th Quarter

Nice work, Vrabel

NobodyHere · 01-10-2021, 03:48 PM

I hate the Ravens.

MizzouRah · 01-10-2021, 03:50 PM

Damn you Lamar Jackson.. this guy is like a video game. I would not want to be a DC game planning against him.

At least the Bills won yesterday.

Go Bears and Browns!

Yeah as a Titans fan I am done with Vrabel and Art Smith. He gets lucky with some unorthodox strategy but a lot of other times it backfires. He was a co@ch to get them to the playoffs but am not sure he is the guy to get them the last leg of the way in the future. I love Henry but am really skeptical of having a offense built around a big back in these days. Teams can just load the box. He is a FA and will be due a big deal and am not sure I would be willing to sign to a 100 million contract.

Definitely gotta call your fandom into question if you aren’t aware that he signed a 4 year extension in the offseason.

AlexB · 01-10-2021, 05:12 PM

That was embarrassingly bad

Lathum · 01-10-2021, 05:12 PM

NobodyHere · 01-10-2021, 05:13 PM

WHAT A TD PASS BY TRUBISKY...

and an equally disappointing drop by the receiver.

Nice work, Vrabel

With a Surrender Index of 138.87, this punt ranks at the 100th percentile of cowardly punts of the 2020 season, and the 99.92nd percentile of all punts since 2009.

bhlloy · 01-10-2021, 06:11 PM

This game has the distinct feeling that whichever team wins is cannon fodder in the next round. And yeah I know NO won a lot of games but this Brees led offense is just not that good any more if you can account for Kamara.

Kodos · 01-10-2021, 06:20 PM

Man, the broadcast quality out of CBS Boston is horrid. The picture is so much better on Fox, NBC, and ESPN. At least I assume it’s just the Boston affiliate. (I get it thru Hulu, not OTA.)

I checked it out for a couple minutes-can see why kids would like it. Kudos to the those involved for trying something new

cuervo72 · 01-10-2021, 07:17 PM

What is with the weird super-focus end-zone cam? Noticed it during the Rams warmups too, where one guy is on focus and everything else is blurred. Is this new or have I just not been paying attention?

This is definitely new as of mid-December. I'm not sure what to make of it as I don't have 4k, but my buddy is getting a 4k feed and notices a big difference in picture quality with shots from this different camera.

Ah, thanks.

The images were in such intense focus it looked like a video game simulation.

Yes, that was EXACTLY my take. Well, not that I have a 4k TV either, but the difference between the focuses looked like a video game rendering.

Joe Namath is still alive?

NobodyHere · 01-10-2021, 08:18 PM

Pittsburgh with the Clevelandest start to the game.

thesloppy · 01-10-2021, 08:19 PM

Shades of the start to the DEN/SEA super bowl

NobodyHere · 01-10-2021, 08:29 PM

This isn't how I expected this game to go, but I am pleasantly surprised so far.

JPhillips · 01-10-2021, 08:39 PM

Cleveland's gonna run up 100.

Lathum · 01-10-2021, 08:40 PM

Pitt is so bad at running the ball its comical.

PilotMan · 01-10-2021, 08:44 PM

This might be the worst Steelers start to a game at this level, that I think I've ever seen. It's straight embarrassing.

NobodyHere · 01-10-2021, 08:47 PM

21-0 Cleveland.

If this weren't the Browns I would actually get my hopes up.

Jas_lov · 01-10-2021, 08:48 PM

thesloppy · 01-10-2021, 08:53 PM

Crush the Steelers. See them driven before you. Hear the lamentations of the yinzers.

Thomkal · 01-10-2021, 08:54 PM

Cleveland unloading a dynasty of pain on Pittsburgh right now, wow

NobodyHere · 01-10-2021, 08:55 PM

rjolley · 01-10-2021, 08:57 PM

Friend of mine just now: You just know with Cleveland's history that the football gods are setting them up the the cruelest fate ever.

PilotMan · 01-10-2021, 08:57 PM

This was from Pittsburgh's team meeting today.

SirFozzie · 01-10-2021, 08:57 PM

what in the actual fuck.

GrantDawg · 01-10-2021, 08:58 PM

Wow, close game tonight. Real nail-biting.

Atocep · 01-10-2021, 09:25 PM

Playoff committee did an awful job with this match up.

Carman Bulldog · 01-10-2021, 09:37 PM

And so it begins...? I feel awful for Browns fans.
