Glen Coffee too a while before that.

He might have been crazy though, or just crazy on religion, I didn't keep up with the story.

e: looked him up, he tried to come back and got cut before the season, now he's apparently on Nick Saban's staff at Bama. Or was in 2017 at least.

Im doing an american football crash course with pizza and alcohol tomorrow for my Japanese coworkers. Im limited in games from the last week I can show them, so im going with Ravens/Browns as its kind of close for the first half and then becomes a points bonanza. I feel like thats a good way to show how it all works.

Thoughts?

Can you at least show highlights from last year’s Chiefs/Rams game through YouTube or something? Show them some razzle dazzle.

It takes awhile for preseason / week 1 narratives to fade away and for people to realize, oh huh, the Lions and Buccaneers are actually playing pretty good, and the Browns had a horrificially bad month but are still 2-2, and even the Steelers' nightmare month leaves them only 1 game back right now.

Also holy poo poo there's only 3 teams in the AFC with a winning record currently.

Getting injured is a weakness in the NFL.

You'd like to pretend otherwise, but that's simply how it is. If you get hurt and someone performs better then you, then you just lost your loving job. If you get hurt and can't play, and your backup goes in and fucks things up and your team loses the game, then you hosed up and lost the game because you weren't there to stop it.

I remember a few baseball players who were stars but not absolutely top of the game guys sitting out for over a year with concussions. Hockey too although that was Crosby who was like the biggest star they had.

What's the longest anyone who didn't retire because of it sat out with concussion symptoms in the NFL?

Raiders on there is the surprise to me, I think most of us would have said they were the "favorite" for last place in the AFCW, followed by Denver. The entire Chargers' roster dying has really given them an opening.

But also it's only been 4 weeks so this is all kind of meaningless wanking anyway :pseudo:

It's fine Miami wants to tank but it loving sucks there's still going to be injuries in the games they play for both teams. Just a complete waste for everyone involved every time Miami steps on to a field.

I'd tell you to give up on the team that left you but I know you won't because of Rivers reasons. I also think you're being sent a message in some fashion over and over again and it's just going to get worse from here on out.

This was seriously beautiful even if it made me do the surrender cobra watching the game. There's a better view from behind Stafford out there somewhere where you can see exactly how tight the window was.

e: oops it's probably in there, I just glanced at the first few seconds.

It was a very nice throw for sure but it's also somewhat of a lucky throw and a short one so I would not say it's the best of the season

I will say that Stafford looked better in that game than I've seen from him in a long time. I wonder if he can consistently deliver that kind of performance
