COB

Harbaugh is inheriting a truly loaded roster. No explanation for the 5 win season they just had. He’s walking into a playoff team with a franchise qb. It also ends the longest and most annoying job search of all time. Dude’s been trying to get back to the nfl for 3 years.

Marvin Lewis.

Agreed. Lou lost a lot of talent off the back end of the ‘22 team. I get the idea Jessie Bates was like another coach on the field. It takes time to develop that sort of acumen, even for talented guys taken high in the draft. Callahan is hard to evaluate because the team isn’t real clear on who the architect of the offense is, who’s really calling the plays, etc.

We fell on our faces this year and our coordinators are still getting poached.

Rooting for the Lions, would be great for their fans to get a SB win. Lions vs Niners - lions have a way better quarterback so I’m picking them to win that game. Ravens over chiefs, I hope. I have serious Chiefs fatigue.

Hard for me to understand these betting lines. The Niners favored by 9.5 over the Packers? Way too much. The Ravens favored by 9.5 over the Texans? Also way too much. 9.5 points is a huge number for an nfl line. Both those underdogs have QBs playing lights out.

I think the division playoff games are the best the nfl has to offer. To me it is the best football weekend. Guys are playing like their lives depend on it. And this year’s games look to be great. All 4 are good matchups. We could end up with a dud or a blowout, but they appear incredibly competitive. I seriously will not miss a minute. The weather here sucks anyway.

Joe could be planning a big family. Rivers has like ten kids. Ryan Fitzpatrick has 7 kids. Or it could just be the dominos falling on the extreme end of the American dream spectrum. Strike it rich. Buy giant house. Ten years later you sit in your giant house and go, “why do I own this giant fucking house?”

McCarthy and Tomlin both coming back. I did not see that coming. And Belichick getting a new HC job - that doesn’t surprise me, but I think it is a mistake. One caveat - if you just want Belichick to come in and culture shock your dysfunctional organization, yes I get that. Two years of him doing that, then get a new person who can build on that. But thinking he’s going to come in and suddenly turn around a mediocre team? Wake up. Enjoy having Matt Patricia and Josh McDaniels as your coordinators. Because that’s what he’ll do. Any free agents want to play for those guys? Hell no, they are basically universally disliked by players.

Jerra supposedly bringing back McCarthy. Dude never learns.

Dear Brown Family: feel free to look at all the coaches getting fired. Their o-line coaches are getting fired too. Pick the best one and hire him.

Cleveland writer Jimmy Watkins: This strategy that failed is still the right strategy.

You are a hero for posting this. She deserves a Nobel prize for wearing that bodysuit to a game.

Mayfield wins a playoff game. If Cleveland had just kept him, and all their $$ and draft picks, they’d be way better off. Likely at least one playoff win by now. That owner is the gift that keeps on giving - to all the teams that aren’t the Browns.

Last 4 times they made the playoffs, the Steelers have lost all 4 playoff games. Prior to that, 2011 through 2015, the bengals were in the playoffs 5 (consecutive) seasons. Lost all 5 playoff games. You are right, very similar.

Tony and Jim said they think Tomlin will continue his campaign of not having losing seasons. That’s the bar in Pittsburgh.

Classic Bills fan sign they just showed in the tube: ”JUST ONE BEFORE I DIE!”

Pitt giving a master class in crying.

Could this be Mike Tomlin’s final game? Rumors are flying.

Agreed, Myles Jack tried to pull off.

Holy shit, Minkah blows a tackle. And the game, probably.

Great for those fans and that team. Love it, I hope they win it all.

KC is about to get some calls. They’ve cried for 5 minutes over a non Pi call. Makeup call inbound.

Miami outsmarting themselves. Running the ball great, then on 3rd and 2 and 4th and 2 they run a couple pass plays that don’t work.

I just turned the sound off. These announcers deifying Mahomes is too much for me to handle.
