America's favorite Dystopian pastime - NFL 2021-22

Colts/Raiders game got a bit more interesting as Wentz is out with covid and Longhorn rookie Sam Ehlinger is going to start (so far).

If Taylor is ok, I'd just give him the ball 50 times. Raiders are giving up 115 a game (kinda late middling).

Steelers are giving up 142 yards on the ground a game...yikes and with Big Ben kinda sucking and no running game how the heck are they a .500 club? Looked it up and their punter is next to last on the table in yards too and the Steelers usually have kinda crap kickers too.

And some Pittsburgh fans want to get rid of Tomlin? That is some wizardary to both suck at throwing the ball, running the ball and stopping the run, punting and at least win half yer games. Just saying...

Cousins now out with Covid too, right before a prime time game vs. the Packers which is essentially a playoff game for them. Lmao. Kinda hard to laugh at these guys given that a ton of vaccinated dudes are getting it too but still, funniest possible timing

Dear God

Antonio Brown just took off his uniform and left the game. This is real. pic.twitter.com/wrp2xvgVhE

dude ain’t right

Cannot believe there’s still another week to go

Like what is the point of the Giants even playing anymore. This is like last week of softball league shit

LOLLL if only

This sideline report is incredible. Stadium security thought there was a shirtless fan on the field and intended to tackle him before they realized it was Antonio Brown

some true brady goat shit there even tho vs the jets

The fact that they won the game makes the AB thing even funnier

Yeahhh these are the Cowboys I remember

Lmao perfect Cowboys/McCarthy loss. That was a fumble but he couldn’t challenge it.

thought Brady's post game remarks on Brown were very good

At least now I will stop hearing about how “the Vikings playoff hopes are on the line!”

incredible leadership from kirk cousins

another nationally televised prime time nailbiter

thought Brady's post game remarks on Brown were very good

Actually yeah. I mean he seems to know that something's up with him and a lot of NFL Twitter is speculating that the hit Burfict put on him (the one that got him suspended for the entire season) might've fucked him up for good. I remember reading something a couple years ago about how he was never the same after that.

The Bears and Lions must love what they saw of Kellen Mond and Jordan Love tonight, yuck

with that win Matt LaFleur has broken pretty much every record in the book for a coach's first 3 seasons

will be nice to see Love get a meaningless game vs. Detroit, my gut is that he's not gonna be any good but I gotta know what it was the front office saw in him

haven't hardcore followed the steelers for decades but the pittsburgh writers who do were in unison about how antonio brown was absolutely the hardest-working player they had ever seen. like, not even close

which is not an excuse for anything he's done, but something definitely changed even beyond the 'aging receiver who thinks he's always open' paradigm

The guy has done some pretty horrible shite and in any reasonable public business would not have a job (except in finance), but I don't think anyone is going to be surprised if this guy does not end up dead soon and also find out he had CTE.

I wonder if any ESPN personalities are gonna be brave enough to suggest this is probably CTE. someone put together a timeline of AB these last 4 years and it's nuts, in addition to the sexual assault and battery allegations there is so much weird stuff, like threatening to retire over his helmet or throwing his furniture out the window. Which could have killed someone!! not to mention the fake vaxx card. dude is not right.

maybe I'm speculating too much but I wonder if it's affecting Rodgers too. obviously not on the field but he's gained a reputation lately as a legitimately strange dude who holds inexplicable grudges towards everyone and always seems to have a different accounting of events than everyone else. does anyone even know exactly what all the offseason drama was about? he was incredibly media-savvy his first few years and now he seems legitimately confused as to why everyone's so mad at him. he's always been very private so who knows if this anti-vaxx stuff is out of character for him but I am pretty sure the Rodgers of 6-7 years ago would not have given that idiotic interview

I think Rodgers just might be another victim of right-wing brain worms

yeah sometimes people are just morons... AB seems like hes got some real issues tho + hes moron

Rodgers was pretty left wing on the whole Kaepernick thing so I suspect he's maybe more of a Joe Rogan type who is just willing to vehemently defend the last thing he heard. idk he just seems to be getting increasingly erratic & confusing in everything he says publicly in a way you don't see often in other sports

Rodgers is just an average guy who thinks he's smart because he's spent his life around morons

b-b-b-b-but JEOPARDY!

I wish I had the gall and gumption to do some profoundly—and very publicly— unhinged shit then tweet “real gremlin hours 😤” https://t.co/r8P5YgCMrA

maybe he did the whole stunt as a tribute to "super gremlin" rapper kodak black whose sexual assault allegations also had no impact on his career?

ICYMI the Vikings did pull off one really cool play last night

BIG MAN WITH THE CATCH AND RUN 🤯

haha yeah that was fun

basically impossible to say whether the brown stuff is CTE or just some other run of the mill mental illness, but neither is incompatible with having been a really hard worker

Roffles final home game feels a lot like Kobe's...he's got 20 completions in the 1st half but hasn't yet thrown for 100 yards

stellar quarterbacking all around

ya Mayfield threw maybe the worst interception I've seen this season. not only was the dude tightly covered there was also a receiver literally a yard away who was wide open. can't imagine what watching that as a Browns fan must've been like

Good God, end this miserable season already.

Urgh, I can’t even look forward to the draft because all the college QBs suck.

yards per pass: PIT 2.6, CLE 2.4

christ

still a ways go before hitting the -0.7 mark the New York Football Giants put up yesterday

Browns put up 0 in the 1st half against a team which is literally only trying to goose Ben's stats

oh i don’t think they’re trying to goose ben’s stats — three-yard dump downs are literally all this offense can manage

he's on pace for 70 pass attempts this game

I can’t believe this pic.twitter.com/08MTR7UZEr

(Mayfield was sacked on this play)

It's about time to ask if Mayfield's poor play on the field this season will seriously detract from his credibility as an insurance salesman?

next time he sees Alice Cooper he'll be serving him at the soup kitchen

holy shit they topped it on the very next drive

now the next drive they turn a 2nd and 2 into a 4th and 19, go for it and get a DPI on a ball that was absolutely not catchable
