Sometimes I hate the NFL

One week, we're beating the Saints. Heading for the top of the division, league, etc.

Cam Newton is the perfect player. He's the MVP. He's ours. He's ours forever. He'll be here forever. Racking up swag, MVP's, Lombardi's.

Steve Smith tells us how "Things are different 'here' now".

Chud seems brilliant.

A week later everything is the opposite. Steve Smith is a Prick. Cam newton is leaving town when his rookie deal expires. He's a cancer. The local paper pokes fun at him. The coaching staff is on the verge of losing the team.

I mean I swear I wish I didn't love the NFL sometimes. It honestly makes me kind of hate it when things are going like this. People are rough on baseball, but I follow it day in, day out.... it's not like this with players, teams, managers. They get more equity and buy a lot more time when they do well..... not so much hate and vitriol flying around.

It's not just Carolina. It's the NFL. Happens in every city, every fan base. One loss and Cowboy fans are wanting to hang Romo. One loss and Pats fans are saying Brady has lost it. One loss and it's time to fire whoever is coaching that dumpster fire in Cleveland.

Anyone ever get tired of the damn roller coaster of this sport?

I don't mean to be a baby. I'm actually watching old NFL Primetime Highlights on YouTube

Tell me THOSE DON'T BRING BACK MEMORIES!!!!!

And I think back to when I was a kid. God the nfl was fun. All the over coverage brought on by twitter and everything else just kind of ruins the damn game. I miss NFL Primetime. I miss when QB's weren't judged just by their last week.

We're talking about running a record setting QB out of town.... he is 23. What the fug is the football world coming to? Hate it.

Fewer games magnifies their importance.

Exactly. You're comparing apples to oranges here in the OP. baseball has 182 games. Football has 16

I do understand what you're saying, but you can't do what you just did. You'll just end up getting more frustrated. The best way to get over last week is to look forward to the next week. It's early and we still have hope. Until that's completely gone and it's a mathematical uncertainty I will continue to believe that we are going to the playoffs... Where anything can and will happen

consistently winning a majority of games helps mollify the losses a little.

sucking ass as a franchise with no hope mollifies nearly all the losses.

having a franchise QB and losing a majority of games anyway is heartbreaking and very difficult to mollify.

The problem is, when you folks win, you start dusting off your mantal for the SB trophy. When you lose, you want to fire everyone and the attitude of "everything is your QB fault" gets ampted up three times more than nornal..

That level of extreme happiness and disappointment is disturbing...IMO.

      NFL admits the TMac catch should not have been overturned

      By PanthersATL · Posted

      They said there wasn't clear evidence to warrant the overturn.  How would it have made a difference at that point in the game?   https://www.nbcsports.com/nfl/profootballtalk/rumor-mill/news/nfl-privately-admitted-to-erroneous-reversal-of-catch-by-panthers

      WWE pay per view and programming thread

      By Khyber53 · Posted

      Me, I'm sick of WWE channel hopping their PLEs and shows. Netflix now with Raw. USA still has Smackdown but you can't get it with Roku if you don't also have cable. Then they went from all the PLEs on Peacock to ESPN+ which required upgrading your Disney+ package. Then they frikkin' move Saturday Night Main Event with John Cena's retirement match back over to frikkin' Peacock, which we'd just cancelled two months prior because no PLEs there anymore. And there are fewer, but longer matches and its the same danged stories again and again. Rematch after rematch after rematch between PLEs. Fewer matches, fewer wrestlers, more promos (of lesser quality) and less action.  It just seems like it's all fillers and re-runs. I'm tired of Cody Rhodes. I'm tired of Jey Uso. I'm tired of the two Brons. Shuffle the deck a bit guys, this game's getting stale.

      Going for it instead of leading by two scores in the 4th

      Chuba was 3 yards behind the 3 gap. He was lined up weak offset I. It was a 33 dive. Chuba needed to power through off of Ekwonu's block and slip off into the 5 gap where the Tremble had the lane sealed and Rick pulled the LB out of the 5 gap. Here's a visual if you need proof. Chuba did a jump cut laterally to the 2 gap on the right side with unblocked defenders crashing down and went airborne.   This is a 33 dive that should have been slipped off the block into the 5 gap. Chuba lacked vision, but you can see Rico and Bryce staring at the intended running lane sealed off by Tremble and Ekwonu. He should have read Ekwonu's block. The blocking and misdirection is NOT set up for the right side. The play worked. Chuba failed to execute on this play. Trust who you want to, but I wouldn't suggest you argue with the video. Anyone telling you this was drawn up to go right with the blocking did not analyze it. They are correct it should have been a called dive, and it was a called dive.  This was a weak offset I bringing Tremble in motion from the right to the left.
