NFL Regular Season Thread

[Kirby101]

They they should have gotten NFL Sunday ticket or whatever the service is that guarantees they can see the games they want instead of the games the networks choose to give them for free. It sucks, but you get what you pay for in life and if something is "free" it applies even more. Games on a free network is a luxury service not a right. People will be pissed sure, but again you get what you pay for and they paid nothing for it (and paying for cable or streaming to get networks doesn't count because you can et those without paying if you so choose).

I have little sympathy for people complaining about not being able to get their bread and circuses for free.

True. But the NFL only exists because of it's fan base. They have an obligation to do right by the fans. Being money grabbing pigs doesn't serve anyone. They don't need a few more pennies.

As much as I want to talk playoffs and hirings and firings... I have to share this article: Aaron Rodgers talked about what the Jets need to do to improve from a 7-10 season next year... and he said they need to "flush the B.S." and talked about unnecessary distractions.

...

This dumbass has no self-awareness. He got hurt on the fourth snap of the year, and was a CONSTANT distraction the rest of the year for the rest of the Jets and pretending he was gonna come back in a medical miracle. He's still seemingly doing what he can to get Pat McAfee fired on a weekly basis. No one on the Jets insisted on being in the spotlight more than Capt. Four-Snaps.

Self-awareness is for lesser people, not him. Sadly, no one on the Jets has the balls to tell Rodgers that HE'S the unnecessary distraction.

As Jimmy Kimmel said in a particularly scathing monologue response to the hit job Rodgers did to him, "Aaron Rodgers is too arrogant to know how ignorant he is."

It seems the Bills are favored over the steelers by 9.5 right now. I still don't know how the Steelers made the playoffs, that was a smoke an mirrors act the likes of which I have never seen.

Good coaching and overall solid organization.

Exactly that. Like I said in another post, no head coach in the NFL today does more with less than Mike Tomlin. However, with star defensive standout TJ Watt sidelined from an injury, Pittsburgh’s stay in the postseason might be a short one.

Titans have fired head coach Mike Vrabel

Jimmy Kimmel's monologue roasting Rodgers for being an ignorant putz was great

Titans have fired head coach Mike Vrabel

This is a surprise to be sure. I thought Vrabel was solid, just couldn't get an OC to buckle down the O

And Rodgers who does not want to be a distraction and says The Jets need to get rid of distractions tweeted that he would have his response on Pat Macafees show today. So you know not a distraction.

I’m not surprised. Vrabel’s time was over in Tennessee. However, his next stop might be New England (where he used to play) to replace Bill Belichick should he leave the Patriots.

[Hiromi]

Of all the problems the Titans have Vrabel wasn't really one of them, guess we have to have at least one odd firing a year

In reading the NFL.com article, the last 2 seasons doomed him. Even though he started a promising rookie QB in Levis, they felt that it was time to move on.

The Jaguars have fired defensive coordinator Mike Caldwell, running backs coach Bernie Parmalee as well as a host of other defensive assistants and one other offensive assistant.

I was waiting for someone to take the blame for them not making the playoffs.

NFL has offered about 200 front office employees buy-outs. That doesn't sound good.

[Jimbi]

This is insane.

Stefon Diggs had 44 more catches than George Pickens. 107 to 63.

But only 43 more yards. 1183 to 1140.
