Clip on the opening kickoff, hip drop tackle, holding on a scramble, just 3 of the penalties I’ve seen NOT called in the Chiefs. Something happens to these officials when they get off the plane in KC.

I really sold myself on Eberflus. Really wish they’d have given him a look. Al Davis was known to use coaching interviews as intelligence gathering exercises. He’d ask guys a ton of questions, learn their philosophy and what worked and didn’t work for them. Pretty smart. The Brown family - “That sounds like a lot of work.”

To me it’s obvious now that Golden has been the guy since probably before they fired Lou. They didn’t even bring Saleh or Eberflus in for an interview. Disappointing to me in the sense that you don’t know what you don’t know until you talk to people and learn something. Maybe Golden really is the best out there, but if you don’t compare him to the best, how do you even know?

Dude, come on now.

I know I should hate the rams after we lost to them (bad call on Logan Wilson PI robbed us). But they are so dull I don’t give them a second thought one way or the other.

Let’s break it down. The odds of a guy even being named Wink. Not great. One in a million. Now the odds of two guys being named wink. Even not greater. Now we find two guys named Wink, what are the odds they have the same last name? And it’s not a very common last name. Something is fishy going on here with all these Wink Martindales running around.

You often ask yourself, who does Wink Martindale look like? Answer - If you go to a hunting and fishing expo and one of the tables is a dude selling a book he wrote about noodling snapping turtles out of undercut muddy riverbanks, Wink Martindale looks like that dude.

Your 3-2-1 is my 1-2-3. 1. Chiefs must be vanquished. 2. Lions fans deserve it, Dan Campbell deserves it. Amon Rah St.Brown just for his name. 3. I just want a close game. Keep it clean out there fellas.

Maybe it’s because when they’re on the tube the broadcast goes: 1. Shot of Stafford throwing a pass. Announcer says Stafford is great and that he, the announcer, personally loves Stafford. 2. Close up shot of the Rams coach, he’s wearing a child’s medium size shirt. His head weighs 35 pounds. 3. Shot of Stafford passing, announcer loves Stafford. 4. Close up of Rams coach, who has changed shirts to a child’s small. 5. Shot of Stafford passing… repeat ad nauseum.

Wow! These divisional games look really great. These 4 are usually the best weekend of nfl football, in my opinion. Chiefs vs Texans - great young QB vs whatever the chiefs are. Great game. Commanders vs Lions - Another great young QB, facing the feel good story of the last couple years. But the Lions are riddled with injury. Great game. Rams vs Eagles - Boring as hell. Ravens vs Bills - The league saved this one for last. It’s basically Ali/Frazier. The two best quarterbacks left in the playoffs, they are also the funnest QBs to watch. And it’s in Buffalo, which can be fun. Hopefully no one gets hurt (in the parking lot before the game).

Sam Darnold’s agent has to be jumping off a bridge somewhere. Dude was in line to make 40 million a year, now he’s absolutely blown it in these last two games.

If he can somehow make that happen in Cincy, well, gosh.

Commander fans really went through it with that weird owner. They’ve got to be thrilled how quickly this whole thing turned around for them.

On the Washington vs Tampa bay game, they showed the Washington defense introducing themselves, then Mike Tirico said the following about the Washington defense: ”8 new starters, much improved. Easily the worst defense in the nfl last year. Much better this year.” There is hope!

You are correct, he basically is Marvin 2.0. He’s keeping them in purgatory, can’t be great, can’t be bad enough to get a great draft pick. Keep picking 22nd every year or whatever it is. Tomlin will be back next year. There are many more cliches to be spouted and mean mugging to be done on the sideline. Also he needs to keep that “no losing seasons” streak alive (it hangs like a millstone around Pittsburgh’s neck), and continue these glorious first round playoff exits.

Now that their offense did something, Watt is having like ten pounds of tape put on his elbow. Ready to go!

Steelers offense goes 98 yards, scores a touchdown. 21-7.

Watt is quitting. Didn’t play the first defensive series of the second half. He’s on the sideline, but he’s grimacing, appears to be some type of injury (bruised ego).

Ravens ran the ball 15 times in a row. In the 2nd quarter.

Steelers getting trucked. 14-0, Ravens running it down their throats.

You’d hear media guys saying he was equal to or better than Burrow. Never again. The Steelers look gross. Ravens went 95 yards with their first possession for a td. TJ Watt can be seen between plays buying steroids in bulk.

Agreed, both sides with huge mistakes, mental errors, etc.

Watching the Texans game, I’m going to watch the Ravens/Steelers game tonight. So far CJ Stroud looks way better than he did earlier in the year. He’s extremely accurate. Mixon is making some huge mistakes. Harbaugh sporting his trademark SMHO look - (Stupified, Mouth Hanging Open).

Same. In fact I scratch my head when I see all these coordinators touted as hot head coach prospects. It’s a different job and there are about a million examples of good coordinators who just couldn’t make the transition to HC. There is a school of thought that special teams coaches make very good HC candidates because they see and monitor the whole game. They understand situational football, because they are always dealing with the consequences of it. John Harbaugh was a special teams guy and is a good head coach. If Eberflus can do here what he did in Indy, he’d be a huge success.

This dude just showed up on social media as being considered. Jeremy Fowler tweeted that Eberflus is “involved” in the DC search. Eberflus meets some of the criteria Zac listed. He wants someone experienced. Eberflus did a very good job stepping into a similar situation at the Colts. I’ll just copy and paste a few lines from his wiki: “Eberflus was credited with instilling an "ultra-demanding culture of hustle, discipline and teamwork"[10] that ultimately helped turn the Colts around from a 4–12 team in 2017 to a 10–6 playoff team, reaching the AFC Divisional Playoff Round. Inheriting a defense that finished No. 30 in the NFL in both scoring defense (25.2 points allowed per game) and total defense (367.1 yards allowed per game) in 2017, Eberflus turned the defense around in just one season, to rank No. 10 in scoring defense (21.5 points allowed per game) and No. 11 in total defense (339.4 yards allowed per game) in 2018.”
