nôbôdy CARÊS àbôut FÖÖTßALL: 2020 RÊGULAR séàsôn THRÊAD

you can start Wentz and lose all 3

and it's astonishing how many head coaches would view this as "the safe option"

Losing is the new winning

speaking of I'm convinced something fishy is going on with the way the Jets defended that final play, apparently no team in NFL history has called a defense anywhere close to that in a similar situation

why would you go through the trouble of being competitive and taking the lead with 11 seconds left only to go "lol jk", though? Like, if you wanna tank without plausible deniability....you pretty much can in the NFL.

unless it was "oh shit, Jacksonville blew their game"

I’m not saying it was the plan all along, I’m saying they tried to win in much the same way I “try” to beat my 6 year old in Mario Party

they pretty much had won the game though! I feel like if ownership had sent it down to 'give up', Gregg could have dialed up much shittier defensive class on downs 1-3.

idgaf if they were tanking tbh, the amount of people calling for investigations is pretty hilarious - cos are they gonna go back in time and penalize every other team that did it (including my own, last year)?. i just think coaches coulda guaranteed a loss much earlier than 0:11 remaining.

there's probably someone in the jets front office who's relieved, but gase and williams will be gone whether they get lawrence or not, and none of the players have anything at all to gain from going 0-16

and it *is* vmic for williams

lol

The #Jets have fired defensive coordinator Gregg Williams, per sources.

there should be a fundraising telethon for NFL teams victimized by Adam Gase's coaching

i guess it's good that they recognize it, but i've never seen a steelers team so incapable of running the ball

did they re-sign Zerouoe or something

i mean connor is out and their starting center is out but dag

xp that is a sweet deep cut

next you'll be talking about walter abercrombie

hoo boy, can the hatcats win this

i'm not sure how many 11-0 teams there have been, but this is an awfully bad one -- all they can do on offense is six-yard outs

might this set up a showdown with the cleve brownies???

have a feeling both teams will be resting starters on the last game of the season

yeah, I've not been a believer in this Steelers team being undefeated level good. this was overdue

NFC BEAST

really am disappointed that the hatcats and NYFG won this week -- wanted to see how low the BEAST could go

have a feeling both teams will be resting starters on the last game of the season

i don't disagree, but when did the browns last do this (for positive reasons)?

Never. Even when they were good in the 80s they needed to win the last game for various reason.

Though if the browns win their next three and pit loses one between now and week 17....

LOL @ Gase:

https://sports.yahoo.com/jets-coach-adam-gase-says-he-made-call-to-fire-gregg-williams-we-cant-have-that-happen-222319377.html

xp steelers could easily lose to the bills and/or colts

if the brownies can beat the ravens next monday, it might be on

division title on the line in clevo january 3 would be cherce

some Steeler fans I know whining it was the short schedule that caused them to lose lol

if you can't beat Washington on one day's rest, hang it up, son!

i'm sure it didn't help, but cmon

hatcats

mmhmm

Bryant had taken the field for pregame warm-ups despite the fact that, per league protocols, his two inconclusive tests should have been treated as if they were positive, and he should have been "subject to the other requirements and procedures of a positive test."

A source told ESPN that Bryant was already on the field by the time the league found out the results of his tests were inconclusive.

The NFL and NFLPA are not worried about close contacts with Bryant, sources told ESPN, because the Ravens have been operating under exceedingly strict protocols for the past two weeks, effectively eliminating the possibility of close contacts.

Bryant was not wearing a face covering at all times.

watching the game tonight you'd swear the Cowboys were the leper colony

lol what a joke league

Cam Newton getting a lot of carries tonight for some reason.

fuck the Patriots

so I guess the whole "Belichick can succeed with any quarterback" thing isn't true

most losses in one season since 2002

Hatcat's defense is legit and with Smith playing well, they are no longer a joke (at least on the field). That defensive line with Montez Sweat and Chase Young has potential to be excellent.

Picked Mahomes!!!!

Helluva time for our automatic kicker to miss but hard for me to hate a guy who's 28-30 on the year

TOUCHDOWN

Mahomes taking a 30 yard sack. Didn't have that one on my bingo card

ANOTHER PICK

My heart is racing

Ugh Tyreek Hill is just..good

Ugh Tyreek Hill is just..good

Welp

This is why they're 11-1

That AJ Brown TD catch was pretty nuts

Damn, picked Mahomes three times and still got a loss.
