QFT. I can't remember a recent season where we were this deep into December and only two teams were eliminated. Usually it's a third to a half by this point.
NFL Season 2023-2024: Epic Battle for the Ultimate Mediocrity!
Yeah there's what...10 teams at 6-7?
Welcome to the NFC South. Reminiscent of the 2010 NFC West won by the 7-9 Seahawks.
Speaking of mediocrity, there are rumors swirling in Washington this week of none other than Mike Tomlin being potentially considered to be the new head coach:
Column: Tomlin to the Commanders isn’t as crazy as you think - WTOP News
Yeah. It's pretty crazy. And pretty fucking stupid too, IMO. FFS!
Although I did get a good laugh about the first sentence of the second paragraph:
I guess it could work out... maybe? I just lost all respect for the man when he walked out on the field during the infamous Thanksgiving game against the Baltimore Ravens back in 2013, pretending like he was watching the big monitor, oblivious to his illegal position on the field. He just happened to be right in the way of Jacoby Jones running the ball back 73 yards, who had to adjust his trajectory that resulted in a tackle that might have otherwise been a touchdown. Tomlin knew exactly what he was doing and earned himself a $100K fine just for that little stunt.
It's a shame (and not just a little bit surprising) that he considers Joe Gibbs one of his coaching heroes. Gibbs is everything Tomlin is not. Quiet, unassuming, humble and kind. What lessons would Tomlin have taken from such an influence, I wonder? I personally find him to be ethically bankrupt and something of an insufferable asshole but, then again, seems like everyone in the NFL is these days, so I guess it doesn't really matter anymore.

There is nothing untrue about this statement.

I wonder if these owners ever stop and do any research. No Super Bowl winning coach has ever went to another team and won it.
Interesting. I’ve never thought about that before.
I’m wanting to say that Shula lost with the Colts, then won with the Dolphins, and Mike Holmgren won in Green Bay and lost with the Seahawks. That’s it, IIRC.
EDIT: Forgot Dick Vermeil, who lost with the Eagles, then won with the St. Louis Rams.

That was awesome!
That was awesome!
Considering they scored a big fat zero last week…
63-21 is the final. The worst part is, the Raiders suck, so the Chargers must REALLY suck more than I thought. 49-0 before the Bolts scored. 2 defensive TDs, including a fat-guy scoop and score.
I doubt the Chargers could have kept up with the Raiders points-wise even with Herbert.
