We live in a world where a whole lot of people are calling for LeFleur to be fired for not getting over the hump and winning it all where those same asshats then turn around and defend Tomlin.

Like is blowing a 21-3 lead where your kicker missed 3 kicks seriously worse than annually making the playoffs only to get demolished? All of us here were always aware of it, but it's comical to see people finally taking notice of how bad they've been every January. 6 straight playoff losses where they trailed by 21+ at some point in the game. A Mike Tomlin record that will probably stand for a century.

I need one of these assholes calling for LeFleur's head to explain to me when having a winning season is good enough and when it isn't. LeFleur has had as much success as any coach who hasn't won a ring since being hired.

This x 1000.

Although Shanny is probably the winner in that category.

That shin down reversal could be the diff in the game

Was gonna be 14-3 Jags

Instead…..10-7 Josh Allen’s

Did I miss a rule change? Romo is talking about when he was touched down - I thought if you slid feet first you were down where you started the slide.

Yeah. Strange. Thought initiates slide as well.
Romo explanation would mean they don't mark it till he is touched....? 10 yards of sliding?
I think these guys just feel the need to noon stop talking and explaining.... and step over the tho7ght process

Three playoff games in...
Usually wild card weekend has at least one blow out...
This is looking more and more likely Steelers blow out Texans

That is calculus Jibba has NEVER figured out.

In his mind he is a Jedi Master of applying "time pressure".

Problem is, he always puts the time pressure on himself.

These first 3 games are almost identical

Like a handed out script to all playoff teams and same results - close at end and scores almost same
