The joys of parity.

Parity is when your team hasn't won a title since Eisenhower was in office :goleft:

I remember a couple of copium articles when WCF was nearing death that the league should put its thumb on the scale a bit to help get one of its longest-serving owners a shot at a Super Bowl, but alas. Not like he deserved it.

I meant that which teams are best and worst in any given year is not certain year to year. There are a few notable exceptions, but each year there are teams that were poo poo the previous year that are great and teams that were great that turned to poo poo.

Sadly pretty accurate for Harris. You can see the talent when he catches the ball and has some space, but doesn't really seem to have any vision when taking handoffs to do anything beyond running into the lovely blocking ahead of him

Something to watch going into the game: the Bengals maybe reducing the play time or even benching Eli Apple. They played second round rookie Cam Taylor Britt for 30 snaps last week and he did pretty okay. Apple has not been bad largely up until now but the go he gave up vs the Falcons was just about disqualifying.

I will never understand why Eli Apple has gotten so many chances

This is part of it of course, but I feel like he'd just be viewed as a normal sort of playable corner that kinda sucks if he never talked or posted on social media.

He gives fuel to the fire of disliking him I guess.

i don't know if he was only dogshit on other teams but since coming to my house in the woods, eli apple makes a couple good plays every game, a couple not good plays every game, and gets totally and extremely embarrassed about once every other game. if he was a 3rd rounder i don't think anyone would know who he is in a particularly awful way but i also don't know if he would still be in the nfl. if you disagree please send me a pm with the true information so that i can edit it into this post as my thoughts

Yeah, every team needs a bunch of CB's, and he's.... fine.

But you kinda have to have diva mindset to play WR / DB which is why they're such great drama buckets.

I'm not gonna go full conspiracy theory on this since I can absolutely believe refs are this clueless/tone deaf. But this really seems like something that should have easily been handled by like 2 text messages to Evans' agent. Not weirdly chasing him down in the tunnel.

He was truly atrocious this last game. The 4th down call by McDaniel was actually there - he cut to the wrong side. Apparently he’s not very smart.

Very disappointing overall in the season. Mostert looking great tho!

Gotta ditch Edmunds asap and bring in a new spell HB

If anything, it probably occurred to him when he saw Evans walking down the tunnel and figured he might as well ask about it while he was thinking about it

the ref story actually makes a lot more sense than the autograph thing which is just a fun scandal meant for ESPN's hit 2003 TV show "Playmakers" but isn't true

that being said, i think we're all forgetting the most important thing right now: the Miami Dolphins are the greatest team in the NFL and Tua will win a Super Bowl this year

I imagine a dimly lit, 80 degree film room. Rodgers sits at a desk with his arms crossed. A nervous coach begins writing grades on a whiteboard. As he gets to Rodgers name he begins to sweat profusely. He starts to write a six on the board, when he hears a loud throat clear behind him.

"Oh what a dummy I am, I wrote this 9 upside down," he says as he begins to erase, stopping first to wipe his brow.

This actually makes me more suspicious than I was before!

Before people were making it sound like it might have been some procedural thing that only looked dumb because they looked like giddy idiots. This sounds a little too close for refs and players imo.
