To be clear I don't think the actual players changing had much if anything to do with it. It seems to be more of a conscious decision by management to whitewash the team to keep it politically and family friendly and inoffensive to anyone. This goes all the way back to Jerry telling Cam he wasn't allowed to get tattoos. Now it's manifesting in the team not being allowed to have a personality or do anything at all that would offend suburban white moms. Including kneeling today. I guess it's disheartening to see my team reduced to a product that we're sold while so many other teams are just starting to remind the world that they're made up of real people. So many teams saw their owners risk alienating their fanbase to make a statement in defense of their team (sure, some statements were pretty loving lukewarm, but still). The last stand Jerry Richardson took was to gently caress the players in the CBA negotiations. I guess what I'm saying is... that guy in my avatar? gently caress that guy. zimbomonkey fucked around with this message at 06:36 on Sep 25, 2017 |

I hope they all die. I'm not going to go as far as "I hope they all die" but my social media is soaked with screaming ragespittle and it's both hilarious and unnerving. (And I am a middle-class chubby white person. Not usually red-faced though.)

the brown family statement on all of this was that mixing politics and football is very bad and should never happen I guess what i'm saying is I'm glad the Bengals lost.

The 2013 Seahawks were so much blacker. Then the 2014 Seahawks were pretty black too and the White Identity Patriots whipped their asses. 2014 wasn't a good year for football. The 2017 Seahawks seemed to have internalized the beating they received at the hands of GoAT Tom Brady, and now their identity is a Whack one. It's not very good.

What a goofy football weekend. Between that absolutely insane and dumb end to that lions game and weird poo poo like Chicago beating Pittsburg and Washington stomping on Oakland I don't even know what to think anymore. I didn't get a chance to watch that bears game, I'm assuming they won because the steelers poo poo the bed? Given how rough the packers looked today I'm worried about how Thursday is going to shape up. On the bright side from what I saw king looked decent, or at least as decent as you can expect a rookie cb to look. Jones was Ballin out all over so at least there are a few bright spots on this stressful as all hell to watch defense. I don't know what adjustments got made at half time or if the Bengals just decided to not score anymore but they seemed to hold their own down the stretch and give Rodgers the possessions he needed to work his magic football elf stuff that he does. If king, Jones, and Martinez continue to develop that would go an awful long way in patching up that side of the ball and taking at least a little pressure of Rodgers. Also would be nice if our oline could get healthy because our backups are not back up caliber, they really suck. Sorry lions Bros that's a lovely way to go out. Made me think of the fail Mary game all over again

The Steelers just had their usual "play down to a lovely team" game that you can bank on happening once or twice a year. Embarrassing run defense against a team that couldn't pass and one of their running backs was causing at least one injury timeout per series in the 4th. The Bears tried really hard to give the game away between Glennon's terrible passing, penalties, and that shameful goal line strip on the blocked FG, but they didn't have an answer for Steeler defenders creating wide open lanes and missing tackles on every rushing attempt.

On one hand, some Lions fans are pointing out that it took them 7 seconds to get a snap off off the back of a 27 yard play, while some are contesting the exact time Tate went down in regards to the clock. I'm bitching about the series of ridiculous penalties prior to the fauxdown, plus letting Atlanta getting so far head in the first place

zimbomonkey posted:On an unrelated note I'm really disappointed that no Panthers took a knee. It seems like an odd thing to be concerned about, but it just seems like none of them care. I know that they probably got the order from Jerry (which in itself is a GIGANTIC problem) but just a few short years ago people were low key saying the Panthers were "too black" (looking at you Tennessee mom). The Superbowl squad was a really loving black team and it kind of felt like a part of their identity. This team no longer has an identity and it makes them tough to watch on sundays.

Also one last thing about that Chiefs game: T. Williams and Inman are both playing poor. I was hoping Williams would take a step forward but his route running is as sloppy as last season's and Inman just isn't getting open. Granted the Denver and KC secondaries are great, but they weren't doing much against Miami either. Allen's still really loving good though after the knee injury, so at least they have a WR who can get open right now.

Just lol @ blaming that loss on the defense. The Bears O ain't great, but it's still an nfl offense that the steelers held to essentially 7 points in regulation (the Bears scored 10 on drives that started on the steelers' 1 and 29 due to special teams fuckups). This one is on the special teams and the quarterback, who repeatedly missed wide open guys all day.

seiferguy posted:Someone mentioned this was a lot like that game against the Chargers in 2014 where it was super hot and the defense got gassed. 90 degrees and a lot of players were cramping up. Football isn't meant to be played in this weather. No excuse since Tennessee played in it, but I'm more concerned about lasting injuries now. Listen I'm not saying it's the reason and I'm not mad about it and have this spirit of generosity but it's simply unfair to the sport to ever play it outside a 65-80 F temperature range and any game played outside that range basically doesn't count

How hot was it in the Midwest yesterday? It got to 91 here in upstate NY. It's like August got here a month late after an early September.

I'm bitching about the series of ridiculous penalties prior to the fauxdown, plus letting Atlanta getting so far head in the first place I posted about it earlier in the thread, but the Lions had a lot of issues on both sides of the ball. Whether it was the defense being straight-up run over for 3 1/2 quarters or the offense wasting a ton of opportunities to score points, it was a game that the Lions could have straight-up won without controversy had they actually managed to execute before the final three minutes. That said, I actually feel good about the Lions-even failing to execute, they came within inches and ref fuckery of beating one of the best teams in the league. Considering that this was a year that a ton of people were expecting them to regress to 7-9 or even 6-10, I think the Lions have shown they have the ability to beat every one of the teams they have on the schedule going down the stretch-so long as the offense is actually able to score points, and Davis comes back on defense.
