    With all of the talk about Rodgers probably not returning to the Jets, Darnold wanted to make sure he wouldn't either :lol:

    Art Rooney rolling in his grave.

    I'll never watch another Tomlin coached Steelers game again.

    I hope I'm watching their first preseason game later this year.

    Pathetic

    Charges Vs Texans
    Just goes to show it's a new season with the playoffs, Texans came in looking lack luster and Chargers had the momentum, Charges laid an Egg

    Steelers vs Ravens
    Steelers looked like they wanted to go on vacation

    Broncos vs Bills
    I have the Bills in the SB, I don't see anyone stopping them.

    Packer vs Eagles
    Perhaps Love is not the guy, Eagles did not look crisp at all, but still handled the Packers.

    Commanders vs Bucs
    Commanders say thank you Chicago for not taking Daniels, will see how Daniels does in the Lions den on Saturday. The kid is dynamic and has the talent to beat anyone.

    Just to take a look at ticket prices, who is paying that much to watch a football game?

    Having 2 teams you despise in a stick pool. Hate having to want Philly and KC to win the SB but I’ll take the cash if it happens.

    Emotions fly high, especially after a loss in the playoffs after an end of season collapse. Not accustomed to it as a Steelers fan, this is not the way Steelers football is played. Coaching is the number 1 issue, whether it is Tomlin or the aupporting cast, it still falls back on Tomlin as these are his coaches to ready the players. It isn't happening, there is no discipline on the field, off the field or from the front office. Khan needs to take the reigns this off season, never a good idea for the GM to go about things without HC input, see Jerry Jones, but it's the GM who is responsible for signings and acquisitions.

    Steelers have a 2-4 year window for defense, and offense may be going through yet another rebuild this offseason. QB, WR, RB.... ugh...

    Reflecting back on this, Darnold started looking forward to the next contract and the rest of the team became lackadaisical in pretense they were destined

    Random thoughts for the NFL.....

    First, the NFL needs to redo their Conferences. No need to reclassify teams to anothe conference, but get rid of the current 4 team divisions.

    AFC/NFC still, but that's it. Maybe make 2 divisions in each if they want but no more. With just 2 conferences the top 7 in each go, no 12-5 team missing and no 8-9 team making the playoffs. Best records only, 2 divisions wpuld only slightly change the odds of it happening.

    Replay, no need for coaches challenges with replay assist. Why have replay assist if it isn't level playing field. Replay assist can reverse a call within 3 seconds on one play, yet another requires a coaches challenge while yet a third instance a team gets a snap off before a challenge can be made. Makes no sense at all, especially when the booth is talking about each of the scenarios yet any result can occur.

    Interesting that Buck and Aikman both called out the face mask penalty for no refs on the field throwing a flag.

    Well Collinsworth said that game was going to be fireworks all the way to the end. This game isn’t booming for Minn either. Lots of beer being drank in Minnesota today. Breaking sack records.

    The only pick I didn't get correct on Wild Card extended weekend was the Chargers getting blown out. Everything else went exactly as I expected.

    This weekend is a more difficult pick for me but I've got Chiefs and Bills in the AFC and Lions and Eagles in the NFC. Although it would not surprise me at all to see the Rams and Ravens pull off road wins.

    I feel that Ravens and Bills game will be a good one.

    I did not mock or ridicule a single viking fan about the game last night, not even the ones that texted me when the Packers lost.
