Re: Football
Shadeur Sanders is a monster they the media created themselves. They anointed him as the “top pick” in the draft and then when he didn’t go in the first(or even second) round, they all began screeching about what went wrong, and then everything that’s happened with the Browns all season has been thru this prism of Sanders not being played blah blah blah.
There are 50+ backup QBs in the NFL. He’s one of them. Good enough to get drafted onto a team, and that is all.

Re: Football
He isn't the first player sports media overhyped during the draft. Off the top of my head, Matt Barkley was supposed to be a top pick, but dropped to the 4th round. The media loved that the Browns got Johnny Manziel when he fell to the end of the first round. Every year there is someone. The difference this year is that Shadeur Sanders probably has the most famous father.

Re: Football
Awesome comeback in Buffalo. 21 pts in 4 1/2 minutes off of back-to-back interceptions. What a fun game to watch.

Re: Football
The way this season has been going, that game was kind of stressful. Yet somehow, it felt like they had the ability to come back even when they were down.
Right now I'm the #2 seed going into the last regular season game in my fantasy football league. It looks like I'm going to lose to the 11th place team because I started Daniel Jones at QB, who threw for 60 yards, 1 int for a total of 0.8 points before getting hurt. The #3 and #4 seeds will also probably still lose, which means we will all have the same record. I won't know what seed I am until the games are over. If I stay at #2, that's is a 1st round bye.

Re: Football
Someone please explain these egregious bullshit calls.
A couple weeks ago, Eagles jump offsides, but their coach comes down like five seconds later and calls timeout and they give it to him.
Now in this game, the guy’s knee is clearly down a yard short of the line, but somehow that’s a TD?
Like, how does the League defend this shit when there’s footage showing what really happened?
At least the Chiefs definitively got knocked out today.

Re: Football
It is extremely frustrating watching hockey and football lately. The NHL can't explain what goaltender interference is or call it consistently, not to mention illegal hits. The NFL can't decide what is a catch, where someone is down, if a hit is legal, or what pass interference is.

Re: Football
Riddle me this, Batman. When is the shortest day of the year also the longest day of the year?
When it’s Dec 21st and you have to watch your fucking team implode just like they do ALL THE FUCKING TIME at the end of the year.
S. O. L.
A non-viable game plan: Dig yourself a hole every fucking week, and then try and dig yourself out of said hole. It’s got a 50% success rate. What could go wrong?

Re: Football
The Bills are somehow bad versus bad teams (like losing to Miami and only beating Cleveland by 3), but can pull wins out of their asses against good teams. Luckily the playoffs only have good teams.

Re: Football
After they blew a 16 point lead and then threw an interception with 2:00 left, I turned off the game(I had to give my daughter a ride to work).
Came home and was mildly shocked.
Given that we needed that win, and the Vikings win over GB, it makes that diarrhea performance the week before that much more bitter. Maybe, possibly, Minn and GB weren’t putting the effort into a game that didn't matter. But maybe they were. Or maybe outcome would’ve been the same.
That one game is the difference between being 1st and 4th in the Division. Hrrrmmph.
