"I really wanna see Jared Goff in Primetime!"

Yea, that doesn't pass the smell test.

[Doctor]

I got my BCGs around here somewhere.

[Doctor]

Now we're talking.

I still remember this unbelievable catch

I can’t believe the season is over

I can’t believe the season is over

I can't believe this defensive coaching staff looked themselves in the mirror and said:


And Bowles is over here:

Let’s hope Licht and Bowles see the holes that need to be filled this offseason.

Not important because it didn't happen in the NFC East

[Grahamburn]

That’s what she said.

I lol’ed. Good stuff

[Phantom]

Yeah, it’s going to be a boring month with the upcoming Daytona racing, but free agency and the draft are coming up soon before we know it lol

D’oh

The Steelers are the current betting favorites to acquire Jets’ QB Aaron Rodgers, per @draftkings.

Rodgers, 41, will be seeking a new team if he returns for the 2025 season, and Pittsburgh could be a landing spot.

I could see that ... Not sure there's a better team out there who's a QB away from competing ...

[Jonny]

Watched Bryce Young being interviewed by Gruden. Such a likeable young fella. Sucks that he's a QB for the Panthers. He's younger than Jayden Daniels and Michael Penix by a year. His skillset puts a hard ceiling on how far he can go, but his floor is high and he can be managed to be effective like Tua.

We all see them. Looks like we don't have the cap room to do anything about it though.

[Bootz]

[__Chef__]

Didn't have this on the bingo card ... do they have a GM yet?

[Snake]

The dead cap hit has to be through the roof. He just got paid, right?

[Grahamburn]

Yeah.. that’s a weird one. Good for the Steelers? His dead cap hit is $133M.

And Lawrence has a full no trade clause. Who writes this shit?

[Phantom]

The San Francisco 49ers could reportedly pay QB Brock Purdy somewhere in the range of $55 to $60 million per year.

After three seasons on a rookie deal, Purdy is finally eligible for a contract extension and is reportedly expected to become one of the league's highest-paid QBs.

The NFC West rejoices.

[Grahamburn]

I’d be surprised. Why extend him now? Will he hold out? I’d make him play. If he’s like, nah. I’d just sign Rodgers.

[Doctor]

Hey hey.
Baby we got your number, got your number....

[__Chef__]

Hey hey.
Baby we got your number, got your number....

So we just need to bounty-gate them and it's smooth sailing from there.

[Snake]

Kelce is cooked.

[Bootz]

I thought he was contemplating retirement.

[Snake]

Found this interesting. Shanahan is only 2 years older than Canales…

McVay is still the 5th youngest HC in the NFL.

[Bootz]

Tomlin is the current longest tenured HC and he's 10 years younger than John Harbaugh, who's the 2nd longest tenured HC.

[__Chef__]

Tomlin is the current longest tenured HC and he's 10 years younger than John Harbaugh, who's the 2nd longest tenured HC.

No idea, but Tomlin's record is remarkable. Not a single losing record.
No matter the QB, the OC, the DC, position coaches ... no matter what.

[Phantom]

Tomlin is a good coach, but the team’s offense performance has been subpar for the past four years.

They need a freaking quarterback. They haven't found one since Big Ben retired.

2022 Kenny Pickett (12) / Mitchell Trubisky (5) [90]

2023 Kenny Pickett (12) / Mason Rudolph (3) / Mitchell Trubisky (2) Mason Rudolph (0–1) [91]

2024 Russell Wilson (11) / Justin Fields (6)

shitty QBS

[__Chef__]

...shitty QBS

And even with that, no losing records.

Typically teams will have ups and downs with injuries, players, and coaches coming and going over nearly 20 years ... no losing records.

Not one.

A bad year for Mike is 500.

Unreal

[Central_Buc]

We’d lose by 20+. Baker would get happy feet and it would be downhill from there.

I could see Evans & Bucky making a game of it, but yeah they'd need to keep up with that offense ... we know this D wouldn't stop them.

Sometimes there are certain teams that just have your number no matter the record and vice versa. We have theirs. So while yeah, we might have lost but they never seem to play well against us. I would not have been surprised we go up there and upset.

And what Vea and our DL did to their OL week 4 would have been in their head.

@Bootz I was just thinking about this again, this morning.

Is Tomlin the luckiest coach in the world?

To consistently draft and sign guys who are "that guy" and their backups are "that guy" ... ensuring not a single losing season for nearly 20 straight years no matter the injury or FA loss is pretty remarkable, right?

Is it all due to his GM, or does his coaching somehow make a difference?

There is definitely an element of luck in there for him.
