Wonderfull, a sub 500 team will make the playoffs thanks to the NFL and there ridiculous amount of divisions.

Throw out divisions, just have one table for 16 teams and that way the best six records are guaranteed the playoffs. For scheduling purposes, act like the divisions still exist and keep the current scheduling format.

Nice to see Steelers back in playoffs.. Antonio Brown still not getting respect tho, which is annoying. I'm so tired of hearing people argue dumb ass shit like that he "isn't big enough like Dez or Calvin" or "all he does is catch screens" or "he isn't a red zone threat". I guess he caught a ton of screens for over 1500 yards and his 12 touchdowns are a fluke. In last two season he has over 200 receptions, 3000 yards and 20 touchdowns, but he isn't "elite" and According to some these "experts" he isn't even a top 5 WR. lol

I have a love/hate thing with the Steelers. Classic team, for sure.

LOL at the Bills predictably losing to Oakland. Now perhaps all the fans pointing to the 0.17793% chance of making the playoffs will shut up.

Why does Romo get such a bad rap? Dude's now the top passer in Cowboys history.

Jay Cutler is the top passer in Bears history.

Ouch.

I'm not a fan of Rex Ryan at all, and his firing was inevitable, but given the crud he's had to work with the last four seasons underlines the impossible job that NFL head coach often is.

This Le'Veon Bell injury man.. FUCK.. The Steelers can not afford to not have him against the Ravens.

I'm not a fan of Rex either. He obviously knows how to build and field a solid defense. I'm not sure how much of the blame he should take for the dumb draft choices and a weak offense. Maybe he has some say? Maybe some others made the decisions unilaterally.

Either way, the Jets usually came to play against the Pats who were always the superior team. I respect that. I also will miss his media sessions. He said some crazy and dumb things but was always entertaining.

I would have given him one more year with a new GM.

Oh well.

The way these things go, the new GM would probably want his own guy.

Undoubtedly.

Marrone walks out on the Bills. There's been rumors of a rift between him and the GM. If that's not the reason, I hope it's not just so he can join the Jets, because he'd be an idiot to trade the Bills roster for the Jets.

[Northern Star]

Don't care what anyone says, NFL games AREN'T fixed. There is too much to risk, and too easy for the conspiracy to be exposed in today's 24/7 media exposure. How many people would need to be in on it for it to work?

I won't go as far as saying the refs fixed it for the Cowboys to win. But that picked-up flag was one of the worst officiating decisions I've ever seen. It was the correct call, and the penalty was announced! Then it disappeared. I've never seen that happen before. If I was a Lions fan I'd be ballistic.

Chris Christie brought his Jersey Housewives to fix the deal with the refs.
