Huh? You making nonsensical comments again?

Eye of the beholder. Jaguars/Vikings or Eagles would excite me much more.

It would be great for Philly to go too but as an NFC East fan I'm fine with my most hated rival having 0 Lombardis. Still can't believe Brady has at least as many Super Bowl rings as the other remaining QBs have play-off starts. That's just mind-boggling.

But they still have 3 Championships so that’s a Logic Fail.

Also what happens if they change the name on the trophy...again.
Everyone resets to zero?

Of course he is! Just enjoy the damn games!

Take it away, Prince.

[Batman1980]

Adam Thielen is definitely one of my favourite NFL stories. To go from undrafted to having the season he had with a #2 QB is insane. Dude's going to get paid no doubt, hopefully by Minnesota when the time comes.

What a glorious way to start the week! Bye Mularkey!!! YES!

There was nothing worse for us Titans fans to have our season come to an end and realize we are stuck with Mularkey moving forward. We were all hoping and praying our GM Jon Robinson (who has always been the reason for our improvement the last two years) would ditch him. But our stupid owner came out and made that idiotic statement after the Chiefs win that Mularkey was our guy moving forward. Shut up, Amy. Let JRob do his job. And thankfully it appears she is doing just that.

Everyone knew that if Mularkey stayed, Robiskie (OC) had to be fired. As the team was working out an extension I guess part of the agreement was staff change so had to be made. Mularkey refused and he’s gone now. Bye!

I guess it’s admirable he didn’t want to fire his friend, but his friend sucked and was ruining this offense and Mariota’s career.

Munchak did the same thing and then we hired the worst coach in the history of mankind Ken Whisenhunt. We’ve literally never had a good head coach. Fisher sucks. Munchak sucks. Whiz sucks. Mularkey sucks. Quit getting these limp d*ck stubborn coaches who do not adapt to our talent. It’s 2018. Not 1970.

I have wanted McDaniels for two years now. Just take the risk and see what happens. No risk, no reward. He will open things up for Mariota. And that is this franchise’s priority! Get McDaniels and pair him with our GM who’s a beast. Then there’s actual hope moving forward.

Congrats to the Vikings on winning on that last second play. So very happy for former University of Houston QB Case Keenum.

Skol!

Lol, I’m loving all the dining on crow today!

Amen to that, brother!
Things are looking up for us.
Pumped me up this morning to hear the news.

G-men close to finalizing a deal with Shurmur.

[Batman1980]

Pat Shurmur is the man I was expecting to go to New York, good signing for them. Wonder who Minnesota will bring in to continue to develop Thielen, McKinnon and Cook.

Colts & McDaniels close in on a deal as well.

"Bulletin board material" is the most talked about nonsense in pro sports. There's no evidence such a thing works. Do you seriously think players are on cruise control then a coach puts some newspaper clipping on a locker room wall and all of a sudden players get all pumped up? That's ridiculous. Workouts, careful review of game film, team meetings, etc. win games. "Bulletin board material" is about as relevant to football games as astrology or paranormal activity are to science.

[Batman1980]

The big decision for McDaniels will be whether or not to continue with Luck or go for a new QB. Colts pick pretty early so that choice will probably define his tenure in Indianapolis.

If you're a professional athlete and you need bulletin board material to get fired up to play, then you shouldn't BE a professional athlete. To be fair not everyone in the NFL is probably as psyched to be there as I would be but still.

They're not abandoning Luck. I'd be shocked if they take anyone other than Barkley at #3 to improve their running game.

Luck could still be the guy but that shoulder injury scares me, as does the lack of consistent play-off success. I'd at least hedge my bets but then again they may consider Jacoby Brissett to be the man for that job.
