I had a bad feeling as soon as Garrett called that play for Dak to run it up the middle on 2nd and 10.

Hopefully Dallas can still get the division secured and someone else can knock the Giants out in the wild card round before their playoff bullshit mode takes hold.

I will concede that fact if you concede the Jets will never be relevant ever again. Actually, who cares what you think, the Jets will never be relevant ever again. Well, they will when they sign a 43 year old Tom Brady, but only as a storyline and not actual success. Also, congrats on hiring Greg Schiano.

gently caress that, give me a 3/4 seed and a WC game against a beatable Bucs(?) team or a rematch against Washington. Winning a playoff game for the first time in 25 years would do way more for the public perception of this team IMO.

Honestly you can probably point to a solid instance for every one of them.

Giants - Josh Brown, Collusion crap
Skins - well, come on
Cowboys - Greg Hardy situation, jerry jones in general
Eagles - ?
Seahawks - Frank Clark
Cardinals - ?
49ers - pretty much anything York has done related to the stadium and to harbaugh
Rams - scamming St. louis and LA
Panthers - Jerry Richardson arguing against the players in the lockout, despite being a player once
Saints - trying to move the team in the wake of Katrina then playing it up as if he didn't
Bucs - drafting rapist Jameis Winston
Falcons - ?
Vikings - swindled minnesota for new stadium
Packers - are packers fans
Lions - ?
Bears - ?
Bengals - Paul Brown is a cheap gently caress
Browns - Haslam is like an actual criminal
Steelers - defending rapist big ben, sending Big Ben out to play when he sucks, also probably behind collusion crap with the Maras
Ravens - Ray Rice situation
Broncos - ?
Chiefs - ?
Chargers - Trying to swindle and screw over San Diego, did screw Eric Weddle
Raiders - trying to move the team, that loving haircut
Dolphins - Ross tried to screw residents of Miami for stadium upgrades
Patriots - Big 'ol cheater defense
Bills - ? New guy hasn't done anything we know of yet
Jets - generally seems more interested in publicity than a good team
Jaguars - built pools instead of a team and gave away home games each season for london
Titans - gently caress you, houston!
Houston - ?
Colts - Drug addict nutcase

The worst thing I remember hearing about Clark Hunt is screwing over team employees--not the players, like people who work in the office--for no real reason during the lockout. I'm probably forgetting something worse than that though.

Also for the Cardinals Bill Bidwill is the original Mike Brown as far as being cheap as hell goes along with relocation over stadium issues and lying to the city he was leaving (he promised St Louis he'd vote for them to get an expansion team, then voted for Jacksonville instead). Their recent success has mostly come when he stopped being as involved with the team.

Seattle is probably getting a first round bye and home game in the Divisional Round which will give them a very good chance at making the NFCCG despite being poo poo. Mostly because of their incredible home field advantage and their dogshit division.

I don't remember anything about screwing over employees during the lock out, but he certainly had his hand in the mess about Scott Pioli firing people because they were old.

As I remember they basically laid people off and publicly blamed the players for doing it (while locking the players out, to be clear), which I'd imagine is probably what most teams did. It made minor news at the time. Yeah the Pioli purge might be worse on reflection since there wasn't even a bad excuse for doing that.
