NFL 2017 season

All sports. We don't even mind if its women's Curling or junior badminton. Although we won't have strong opinions on the latter.

I hope the Steelers trample New England in Fagsboro after that robbery. They don't need any more rings, so realistically I think Pitt/Minnesota is an actual possibility and I'd be rooting for the Vikes. I feel bad for Eagles fans after Wentz went down. This was their year, but then again I don't feel bad, because their fanbase is almost as shitty as Raiders fans.

The shining light in that moment is that Andy Dalton may have saved Marvin Lewis's job!

Nah, Steelers blew it. They had their chance, it would have been a classic AFC Championship in Pittsburgh. In Foxborough, they have no chance. I'm betting on a Pats/Saints SB.

Things were going too well for Philly. Young QBs need their playoff baptisms before they can win rings, I think they would have crashed and burned no matter what but now they won't even give their opponent a game.

I'll bet the Saints lose to Atlanta in the first round. I am sour on Atlanta because of the way they blew the Super Bowl last year. Almost would rather see Seattle get in.

Rams/Panthers will be one for the ages. Winner will beat Philly if the Saints beat Atlanta. Only team I see beating Minnesota is either the Rams or Panthers.

I'm banking on NE/Minnesota. And New England winning.

Have not seen a single minute of their games this season. Just could not imagine coming here from New Orleans or California right now.

Pretty complete team when healthy outside of some shoddy corners, but losing their QB is going to kill them. Their last two games have both been at home and they've scored 10 points total against a couple of bad defenses. They have a pretty amazing defensive line so maybe they could make things tough but I can't see them winning a playoff game.

Vance Joseph will return as Broncos coach after players lobbied for his return. I can see why, he's really nice and doesn't hold them accountable for mistakes.This a day after reports were he was a goner.

Elway doesn't have a fucking clue what he's doing. This franchise is a joke.

Shortage of head coaches. If the players dig him and there isn't shit available, not much you can do but give him another year and hope Jon Gruden returns.

Elway is a coward with no conviction. Afraid the players who already hate you will completely revolt if you fire their buddy Vance? Gutless drunk fool.

Also, Gruden is going to the Raiders this year and he's the most overrated coach in our lifetime.

Dude's going to be the highest paid coach in the league and get whatever else he wants.

I admire the way Gruden played the game. Every year he'd have his agent float rumors that he wanted to get back into coaching and ESPN would give him raise after raise. Now that the well has finally dried up there, he is really coming back. I will miss his fanboy commentary tbh.

I never believed in the coaching shortage. There is no coaching shortage, there is a shortage of coaches you can sell to people. It is kinda amazing to me how much teams focus on that while not giving a shit what the fans think 90% of the time.

They get caught up in hiring the hot guy this year, instead of looking for the hot guy last year, or tow years ago, or next year. Or someone who is a great coach, but not in a great position. Both Andy Reid and Jon Harbaugh had to basically pad their resumes to become head coaches. Bill Belichick did not suddenly become stupid his last year in Cleveland.

More special teams coachs should get opportunities. They check so many boxes. Deal with game management. Work with players at almost all positions. Have to be great motivators.

Dave Toub needs a head coaching job.
