Dude I could have told you that chiefs -14 was a sketchy ass line
there was no way we were gonna cover with hunt controversy plus usual chiefs/raiders weirdness
thankfully mahomes is jesus so we scraped our way outta there
Glad you could tell me that. But I didn't take the chiefs at 14. For the third time I took the under! I didn't like it a ton but experts picked it. f***ing sons of bitches prob laid it in there as a "solid bet" to help vegas
Or both Gruden and Reid are just f***ing stupid assholes. I vote for this

Since the bye last season, the Chargers are 15-5.
They still have Baltimore and KC on the road, so I don’t think they’re going to comeback on KC for the West, but they’re an interesting team.

The Patriots on a clear path to the super bowl yet again. With that 2 seed (a bye and at least one home game) if they don't get to the super bowl i would be shocked.
They have the talent for sure. Injuries have plagued them and they never come up big in the big moment.

Ha I think that was the strategy. They were trying to time it perfectly, knowing if they didn’t it was gonna mess with the kicker. Not a bad idea with no timeouts.
I don't know if you're agreeing with me or disagreeing with that comment, but if you don't think that Carolina was gifted the game back in October, and the Philadelphia game last week wasn't decided by officiating, I don't know what to tell you.

Giants were 1-7 at one point. To suggest that bad calls swung them there from a potential 6-6 record seems disingenuous about how much this team sucks.
Tbf the real swing would be from 1-7 to 3-5.
I get the sentiment. Bad ref calls should never decide the outcome of games.
I also get the sentiment that the giants were bad enough to deserve most of that blame
Because you're fixated on presumably bad calls that cost the giants while ignoring calls that go the other way.
And I don’t disagree that the Giants are absolutely terrible.
That said, the officiating in the Panthers game was an absolute travesty, and giving up a 63 yard field goal isn’t exactly getting “beat”. And, even leaving everything else alone, at 5-7, they’re still in the playoff hunt, as ridiculous as that may be. My point is that most teams in the NFL are awful these days.

Even if the Jets were interested, I doubt he goes to the Jets to answer to the trust fund brothers. Their involvement stifles any chance of better candidates.
I did read somewhere that the Browns were moving in on him. So I doubt the Jets get a chance.
And on one more point. He really struggled the last couple years. Didn't change much, couldn't see that Jones is 10 times the runner that Williams is, bad management. His time could have passed as a top coach.

If his concern is meddling ownership and he takes the Browns job over the Jets, he’s a world class moron. The Haslams are the definition of meddling owners.

The Haslems have stepped aside and Dorsey is running the show now in Cleveland. Something the Johnsons should take a hint on.
