How seriously are you taking this year, as a whole?

Just generally watching every NFL game I can, I can’t remember a time I have seen so many awful teams. A lot of rosters are fuged because of COVID. Like the 49ers, last in their division with 5 wins. I feel like if it wasn’t for COVID they’d be much better. Limited prep time preseason, subing players, rescheduled games, cancelled practices, injuries galore etc.

Hell when is the last time a 3 win team (Eagles) had a good shot for the playoffs post halfway in the season, until recently (now the 5 win Giants are on top). And the Browns are 9-3, what in the hell? The NFC is bad...you might have teams with losing records make it.

Reminds me of the time we made it several years back at 7-8-1...apparently it has only happened 4 times in NFL history. And two of those only happened with a 9 game season.

But it’s not just the records because trash playing trash won’t tell you anything. Some of these teams are playing like it’s a preseason game or worse, even ones with ‘good’ records.

Now don’t get me wrong I’m truly thankful for football and to be honest they have done a lot better than I ever imagined. But watching these teams I can’t help but see how this pandemic is affecting the quality of the season.

This whole year is a wash.  From kindergarten to NFL.

Yeah, just thankful sports are on and there is good news on the horizon with the vaccines. A title is a title but if you gonna suck (or boycott watching) this is the year to do it.

Congrats man. Born and raised in Pennsylvania, right? 

1970-1983. Then my father got transferred to AL. Which worked out because I swore off the Steelers for a couple years after they passed on Marino. He’s still my favorite player ever. 
 

   Getting through KC to get there is gonna be tough. They needed to lose. But losing D. Bush and Dupree is starting to have a big impact.

    • Sometimes its fun to read the threads/posts.  The panthers could literally hire a groundskeeper and we'd have a thread "improving the field for no other reason to prop up Bryce Young".  Apparently no move is ever done to actually make the team better.  All a conspiracy to just focus on Bryce Young. Or suddenly daydreaming and reminiscing about Sam Darnold when he was hated more than Bryce Young.  Its really fun to do a message board search about Darnold during that time period.   Or thinking there is just a tree that grows QB, and you can just easily go up and pluck one.   
    • Yeah okay. We as an organization have been more patient with him than many. And there has been a small parade of guys drafted since he was, also to bad teams, that have passed him. Some have lapped him. As a fan I am out of patience but he gets this year it is out of my hands always has been. I just hope the bar is higher than it has been for him.    FWIW, XL dropped two passes last year. He did do some other bad stuff, just saying. 
    • Except it takes those QB's a few years to develop because they needed to learn the mental side of the game and have it catch up to their physical attributes. Bryce was supposed to be a QB savant who already had a fully developed mental side of the game and that was going to make up for his lack of physical ability.  And his lack of NFL level QB physical traits has been clear as day to anyone who has watched him the last 3 years, mainly, he just doesn't have an NFL arm, he can't zip the ball into tight spaces or throw on a line down the field like is needed at this level.
