N.F.L. 21-22 Season (1 Viewer)

The Rams sold their future for a title. In the short term, it’s worth it. In the long term? Well, that’s the question. They will be terrible for years while their rivals continue to improve. “All fame is fleeting.”

Yes, they made a win now move last season and won the Super Bowl. I'll take that considering the LA Rams had never won one in their entire history. I'm not sure they will be terrible for years if you mean NY Jets like terrible. Most likely they have all the veterans back next season rested and ready to go. Donald, Stafford and Cupp. These do go in cycles. Other than Kansas City, many of the playoff teams this year haven't been very good in recent years. Jacksonville, Miami, Cincy, NYG. Other dominant teams are rebuilding like Green Bay, Pittsburgh, NE.
 
Congrats to the Steelers, they got something right!!! 9-8 winning season but no playoffs so higher draft pick!!!!!!!!!!! Finally.

Joking aside, what a complete crapshow the NFL.

Let me get this straight, the 8-9 LOSING record Tampa Bay get a home game..............Cowboys are 12-5............that is a crock of rules right there. Same with the Chargers visiting the Jags.

They have got to fix this and just make it the highest teams by record. This is some BS!

Agreed 100%.

If you win your division, you go to the playoffs, great; that said, if the NFL had any brains, they would simply seed the teams 1-7 in each conference based solely on record.

An 8-9 team getting a home game vs a 12-5 team is a complete crock, same with Jacksonville getting a home game at 9-8.

These games look like mostly busts; Lamar and Tua are both out, Miami is starting some tomato can who put up a whopping 9 points vs the Jets, who come to think of it have a better defense than the Bills, but still, that's a blowout for sure, no Lamar for the Ravens, they might keep it close, then the 49ers have a third stringer going for them..............but, he's won 6 in a row, with that talent around him, Joe Montana today could win..........................

You did when you sarcastically asked “How are the Pats doing?” in response to George’s post.

Don't worry; Robert, Jonathan and Bill had a sit down and the result was "We're sick of you doing it your way; you let Brady walk, replaced him with a washed Cam Newton, then we spent a small fortune in the 2020 off season which resulted in a 10-7 record and then an *** kicking from the Bills, then you handed our second year QB two morons to run the offense and we finished 8-9, so that's 25-26 record since Brady left/0-1 in the playoffs, so you either hire an actual offensive coordinator or.......................you won't be breaking Shula's record in New England, you'll have to do it elsewhere."

I doubt McVay retires. It is a genius tactic to float that idea after a 5-12 season, though. He will likely get a multimillion dollar raise instead of being canned like that coach in AZ with a similar record. How are the Pats doing?

Credit where credit is due; he is coming back, so dust off those skinny leg khakis for another year, he's back and he's bringing his Campbell's chunky soup with him.....................
 
What a crime this late game is. Offsides clearly yet the NFL allows the jags to come back. This is a crock. After this debacle not sure hoe much respecti have left. What a joke.

Tom,

Great post.

In the new NFL offenses are given too much of the benefit of the doubt when it comes to penalties.

It truly effects the integrity of the game and more importantly, it influences the outcome of games.

What used to be the keystones to a good NFL team, a good defense, and a solid ground game, have been the continuing target of the NFL's effort to pander to the offense, to bring the possibility of 'boring' football to an end. This assault has been ongoing for many years with the many rules changes that have made effective defense and running harder and harder to achieve. Many dinosaur-type fans, like me, have long since lost any real interest in watching the 2 yard per play passing game that has been so predominant for the last 2 decades or so. Ironically, from my POV, watching 50, 60, or 70 passes per game (from one team), has degraded the quality of the game. Where the heck are Jimmy Brown, or the Fearsome Foursome when you need them? The NFL has killed them, has ruled them out of existence. -- Al
 
Not that I care one way or the other who wins between the Jags and Chargers although I think the Jags coach is a complete Jagass! That said, I really didn't care. But if you look at the sequence of events - no offisides against the Jags Tackle, Chargers Bosa goes nuts, ends up slamming his helmet on the sidelines. Officials then decide to call unsportsmanlike conduct - which by rule on touchdown gives Jags the option to put on 1 yardline for 2 pt. conversion. They get it. Now game can be won with a stop and field goal - what happens? you got it, stop and field goal. I call BS> If the lineman is called for being blatantly offsides, none of the rest of that happens and Chargers win. End of story.

Honestly, this is nearly as egregious as the year the Saints were robbed on blatant pass interference.

that was a bad call...Jags definitely did have a false start...the unsportsmanlike penalty on Bosa was a byproduct of that missed call...Bosa looked like he was on the verge of an aneurysm...I thought the officials must push it even father and expel him from the game...

McVay played this like a violin. He had a terrible season. Floats the retirement story toward the end of the season and flips the narrative to trying to get him back instead of firing him. He also unloads all his deadbeat assistant coaches without having to be the bad guy and fire them all. Instead he allows them to seek other "opportunities." Brilliant. The poor Colts. As though they don't have enough headaches, they are going to hire Morris.

At least it was a close game. After the Georgia-TCU fiasco and the Niners blowing out the Seachickens it was looking bleak. I don't see many close games today with the Dolphins and Raven fielding Arena League QBs on the road. Those might be ugly games. The Vikes also likely blowout the Giants. Minnesota is the dark horse team in the playoffs. They are good.
