I mean it's not like they just get the ball at the 1 yd line. He's having a really good season.

Yeah Josh flops when he gets shoved because he wants to win. And the keyboard warrior questioning his masculinity would suffer broken ribs if an NFL defender casually bumped into him.

Yeah, no. I pity what will become of his knees.

Wait, who exactly gets to be his FWB now??

The Cowboys game was by far the most impressive. It may actually be the most impressive game of any NFL team this regular season, in that a team being regarded as a top-3 SB contender got physically embarrassed to the point that they're no longer being taken seriously just a day later.

If you had a way of determining MVP by an objective analysis of a team’s success with or without a player I think Josh would be MVP by a mile for 3 years running.

Aren’t we more or less saying the same thing? I have no doubt there have been individual bad faith actors. Refs, coaches, players, you name it. But some people talk about it like it’s the other thing - the league office or some proxy handing down orders.

Had to check it out. It gets better in the actual post when the guy says he would give Dak an uppercut if he saw him.

Lawrence is an above average starter and he's made some steps forward this season but he's still not what you expect a 1st overall pick to look like in Year 3.

“They’re not booing, sir, they’re saying Duuu-val, Duuu-val.” ”Are you saying boo or Duvall?” ”Booooo” Hans Moleman: “I was saying Duvall.”

Go Ravens. Send the Jaguars into the 8-6 fracas.

The defense played like they'd just attended a religious revival of some sort. Full berserker. I don't even mind the personal fouls.

Rip that interim tag off Joe Brady’s name. He identified our advantage and never stopped using it, neutralizing a top-3 defensive player in the process.

Everyone should relish football media this week, focused on Dallas being utter fool’s gold.

Brady’s biggest credit right now is realizing that Cook, not Diggs, is our most important weapon besides Josh.

Can an OL be charged with criminal neglect?

Now the Pats are standing in the way of the Chiefs’ greatness. You hate to see it as an NFL fan.

Wait, what? If he wanted an excuse to not play wouldn’t he have just shut it down for the season with the Achilles injury?

Becton is an embarrassment.

So there’s this thing where human beings are *terrible* at keeping secrets. If referees were being instructed by the league to impact games in specific ways there’s a 100% chance that one of the hundreds of people involved would have squawked about it by now. What I do believe is that the gambling industry is more than capable of getting to individuals, either in a shady back room kind of way or simply by one of the refs becoming a problem gambler. I also think refs can be motivated by dumb things like which players they like better on a personal level. But yeah this “fixing” concept, as in the sport is like pro wrestling…absolutely not. The risk/reward for the NFL to do that makes no sense.

Tomlin taking his TO's here at the end here is a terrible look. Imagine if a player got injured.

Ron Howard narration: “But they didn’t”

There was a post on this board right before their losing streak started explaining how they’d get the 1-seed.

Unfortunately for the RBs in the league, Jonathan Taylor made a lot of noise about RB contracts and then went on to have a season that more or less proved that the position is plug and play if you have a good OL.
