I personally am rooting for the Rams at this point (get Stafford another win on his way out), but their odds are long.

Really wish we didn’t have to watch the Bills today, Jags much more interesting team. Allen end of half was fucking lulz. Da bears Super Bowl champs

I thought the niners would lose but I didn't expect it to be that ugly. At least we got to beat the eagles and we don't have to lose a 4th straight Superbowl. They really had no business getting as far as they did so I can't feel too bad about it.

Sucks for the broncos but they will have to have their other two quarterbacks get injured at the beginning of the championship game to tie the misfortune of the 2023 49ers. I was ready to root for Josh Allen to finally win one if the niners were out but I'm not sure who to root for now. I wouldn't mind seeing the Texans win one but it seems unlikely. Patriots Seahawks 2015 rematch is probably my least favorite option but it seems pretty likely now.

I'd trade Kyle Shanahan for a 1st Rd. pick and Mike McDaniel in a heartbeat. Kyle is completely outclassed by Mike Macdonald defenses. His offense looks completely lost every time he faces him. It's even worse than the ownage Schwartz has on him.

It's still my favorite team of the Shanahan era but as I've maintained for the last 4+ years, this team will never win a Super Bowl with Shanahan as HC - next year will be his TENTH season. Bill won 3 SBs in that same span. George won 2 in less than that.

I expect us to be 6-11 next season but I also had us around 8-9 this year. So, who fuckin' knows? That said, this team is a LOT closer to the worst team in the division than it is to the best team in the division. Especially since Kittle doesn't play again until he's 34 and coming off an achilles injury. CMC is 30+ and gets spammed every game - even when down 41-6 and you have 8m to go in the 4th QTR. Trent will likely retire. Bosa will be coming off of his THIRD ACL repair. And our WRs had less receptions and yards than our RB.

Time to look at flights to Cancun..

Yesterday I told my wife I wished both the bills and broncos could somehow lose. Then I said I hope one of them loses and the other quarterback gets injured. Beware my powers!
I wish I had your powers, I pray for a meteor just big enough to destroy Philadelphia every time the Eagles play at home, even when Dallas plays because I’d be willing to lose something I love to see that evil destroyed.

I didn't see the game, please explain. Can you find a clip of the play?

Bo Nix threw a pick and then Josh Allen threw one the very next play

Edit: ah shit wasn't back to back plays, close enough though

I thought it was a bullshit call on the Broncos final INT - it was weird to me that nobody on the broadcast was questioning it. Like he clearly seemed to have possession before he hit the ground, then hits the ground (down), and only then did the CB very quickly gain some kind of possession of the ball and rip it away. Seeing so many people question how that was not a catch - call that literally decided the game.

If the defender wasn't there to take the ball but after his knee hit and the ball popped out, it would 100% be incomplete.

Yeah the ref made the correct call but he did it completely by accident. There's no fucking way he saw the ball move when Cooks hit the ground, based on what anyone was able to actually see in real time that should have been called a catch.

Getting it right on accident is probably even more annoying than it just being a blown call.
