the organization's team building philosophy in this generation is to begin with building a Killer Pass Rush and despite all the sexy additions the killer pass rush, in the last couple months, did considerably less killing than advertised and so often seemed less than the sum of its parts, especially in the 4th Qtr. Personally I think the Super Bowl loss was due mostly to the predictable and easily thwarted offensive play selection in the 3rd Qtr (three straight 3 and outs including one after the INT that should've been a game changer), and course due to Patrick Mahomes and Andy Reid are really fucking good at their jobs and didn't Belichek and Brady just spend 20 years teaching us that when a team has both the best QB and the best coach there's not a hell of a lot you can do about it? But I digress. Bosa just got his bag and Chase Young's a mercenary anyway, so the coach becomes the most expedient scapegoat.

the best overtime system is Basketball, wherein they employ the radical pie-in-the-sky idea of... just playing more basketball.

Enduring that bullshit betrayal once (and I never fully forgave Gorilla for that first Bret screw job) was enough, I suppose I’m relived I at least didn’t have to go through that “this match must continue until HBKC wins” mularkey again

Pedantically speaking, they both did

I Hate Football Forever Ban It

personally I'm hoping Juaun Jennings ends up MVP of this one.

nice kick. terrible 3rd down play. too much time.

You make this the last drive of the game, and score however you score.

much as it pains me to say, they were actually fair calls.

plenty. But they haven't actually called anyone for one since the 1st half

For whatever reason one of my enduring attitude era memories is the Jericho vs Stephanie & HHH all started with Stephanie & Tori talking shop about whatever and Jericho comes up behind them and casually asks “Excuse me ladies where’s The Godfather?” and attempting in vain to apologize when they turn around angrily

urinal troughs were an integral part of the Candlestick Park experience

I want Brock Purdy to win a Super Bowl and thus single-handedly destroy the entire Draft Analysis Industry once and for all as he becomes the living proof that it’s a crapshoot and everyone’s basically just blind guessing

I want to find out if State Farm will let you bundle in bicycle theft coverage after Deebo goes for 200+ yards and 4TDs

Private Equity firm buying the O's means get ready for the St. Louis Browns to be Back And As Bad As Ever by 2032

first 4th down go for it can be second guessed because the FG potentially makes it a 3 score game. The others can be chalked up to That's What The Lions Do and you could argue not going for it on those would "send the wrong message to the team" or whatever. Niners played pretty poorly in the first half, and played a lot better in the second half (including but not limited to Actually Stopping The Run Finally, geez you guys). Lions all forgot how to catch, too. That's a big part of it.

15 yard penalty for LARIATOOO~!~!

Steve Young gained almost as many yards on his, but even he caught it behind the line and scrambled around a bunch, he definitely didn't sprint upfield for the reception and get a first down like that.

for those of you who missed that Lamar Jackson pass to himself, don't worry, it'll be in every highlight reel and promo package/commercial for the next 30-40 years

few things better illustrate how out of step I am with the NFL and it's target audience than the framing of that Ravens TD being "yay, the QB escaped and made that play" instead of "damn, the DE missed" Remember Tecmo Bowl, when if you correctly guessed the opposing play your defense utterly swarmed and the play was fucked? But if the other side had Bo Jackson or Barry Sanders you could escape the impossible blitz anyway? Remember how bullshit it was to do everything right and have it still not matter? Modern QBs leave me feeling that way a lot.

shame the NFL doesn't have double countouts

They snapped out of it

I'm still holding to my prediction that he basically traces Joe Paterno's footsteps. His life's work in ruins, rightly drummed out of his personal fiefdom in disgrace, and just... doesn't continue.

Posey should not only be in unanimously but should have the five year waiting period waived. Mauer was Mr. Twin and should be in because the Hall Of Fame is the hall of FAME and is about more than pure numbers, and being The Face Of A Franchise should count for something. (and while we're talking Face Of The Franchise catchers, Munson not being in yet is silly too)
