infrared41 Posted January 5 Share Posted January 5 The Browns are starting their fifth QB of the season - the immortal Jeff Driskel - and it's not because of the usual Browns stuff. It's because they're locked into the #5 seed in the playoffs. Seeing this team sit everyone because they're in the playoffs is something I haven't seen since...now that I think about it, I don't recall ever seeing this. All I can figure is that the end is nigh. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well the Panthers used to be competitive. They just have a dipsh!t owner now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The_Admiral Posted January 5 Share Posted January 5 I hope the Steelers beat a resting Ravens team and the Texans beat the Colts. Impressive what Tomlin was able to wring out of that garbage roster yet again, and Houston seems due for some good football vibes after Megachurch Rasputin, DeShaun Watson, and watching the Titans play Oilers dress-up. Hoping for the Bills over the Jaguars; fun story last year but with Trevor "www.menwholooklikeoldlesbians.com" Lawrence on the shelf, it's less interesting.

I was going to compare the horse-faced Lawrence to several old internet horses, but all of those stories involved either creeps or mushroom-fueled surrealism. So, here’s a summation of the Titans from Downing’s DUI to now: 1 Quote MLB: Project 32 (Complete), MLB: The Defunct Saga (Complete) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dont care Posted January 5 Share Posted January 5 13 hours ago, BBTV said: As worthless as the Pro Bowl is, usually players are excited because at the very least, they get bonuses or something. These guys are so checked out that they don't even give a single F. Not sure I've ever seen complete apathy like this. That’s a pretty universal reaction around the league, especially in that environment. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been offered free tickets by two different people this week. I declined. Weather's supposed to be less than great and I don't need to see preseason football. I'll watch it at home and root A first for me is this is the first time I've worried about the Browns. I think they're gonna smoke whatever AFC South lamb they get to play in the first round and it wouldn't surprise me if they're playing the Ravens for the AFC in three weeks, which is a sentence that makes me want to ralph. That's a team without a glaring hole and will be a tough out. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MJWalker45 Posted January 6 Share Posted January 6 I'm trying to decide if I want Cleveland to play the Jags or the Texans. I think I'd rather they get the Jags, only because I know the Texans will be much, much harder to play with CJ Stroud than with the backups. At least the Texans line will be the same as that game. If they made the AFC Championship, that's probably the top level for them this year. I can't see Baltimore blowing a 10+ point lead in the fourth quarter this year. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whether Lawrence is back or not, he won't be healthy. I would prefer to face Jacksonville. I don't see anyone beating the Ravens in the playoffs. However, a lot of the their losses dating back to last year have been fourth quarter blown leads. The most likely way of them getting bounced is if they do it themselves (or if Lamar has another season impacting injury). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Lamar Ravens have been dominant headed into the playoffs before, but they've never gone all the way. I think the world of Lamar Jackson, but he hasn't been able to put it fully together in the playoffs yet. This is all code to say I like the Bills' chances (and yes, I know all applies to Josh as well). However, Buffalo has to make it first, and getting to the Super Bowl for them would require presumably going through Miami, Indy, KC and then Baltimore. If that ends up the case, at least one of those two teams gets its monkey off its back. But at least this feels like the year KC flames out early, which I'll take in and of itself.

Germanshepherd Posted January 7 Share Posted January 7 Last offensive play of the year was a disaster but respect to the Colts. They got about as far as a Gardner Minshew team could. If Richardson is anything close to what they’re hoping they could be scary. 1 Quote i have unquantifiable corpses on my conscience Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
