I have not watched an NFL game since 2020. I might return after Goodell dies a fiery, painful death.
Now might be a good time. AFC storyline is unreal, somehow the Browns are just holding open tryouts every week for Offensive Line and QB positions every week and (amazingly) are 9-5 and could clinch a playoff berth this weekend (they need a win and 4-5 other teams have to combine to win/lose)... but they have a 88.9% chance to make it! With Joe Flacco!
Also, now that I have said this, they will fail in such a way that the pain will be immense and humiliating. So now you have two incentives.

This year is unreal in both conferences. Some data I've seen is reporting Something like situations not seen since the 1970s. Of course this was on ESPN with the guys who yell at each other...

I watched a football terrorist waste one of the most talented rosters in football this season. I gave up the second Herbert went out.
Yeah- 4 teams in the NFC have winning records total. The AFC North had 4 teams with winning records until the Steelers imploded like 2 weeks ago (which makes me giggle).This year is unreal in both conferences.

There was a season when the Panthers were going into the playoffs with 5 wins (I think. Maybe it was 6). Math, baby.
We also follow the Bills as my wife is from Buffalo. They are the luckiest of not hottest team in the AFC right now but need some luck to make the playoffs.

With the Rams win last night...one has to see them as a threat. It's weird at this point NOONE has clinched home field from either Conferences...usually someone has nailed down a rest week by now. The scientology behind this blows my mind but end state a few teams on the bubble have easy games and there definitely will be some nail biters (potential SB scenarios) with DAL vs MIA Christmas Eve and SF vs BAL Christmas night!
Side note - I'll always root for the Browns and Bengals because I like Ohio pizza!!!!
Dallas has to win out to have any chance , otherwise they lose to SF after their wildcard win.

Anyone thinking Kyler Murray is captain material is insane.

I'm assuming you are talking about Shadeur and not Shilo. Personally, I believe he is, but I think his play style and mentality could also result in him having a career like RG3.

If there is new way to lose a football game, my Cincinnati Bungals will figure it out.

Yeah Travis Hunter is the only player on that team that will play meaningful snaps on Sunday.

Performance art - that's all it us. Dick heads like that do what dick heads like that do because we pay them for the entertainment value. They are just circus performers that put on a costume and take the stage.
Did that guy show his ass?
Of course he did.
But he also managed to blend football with shit talking the crowd AND beach volleyball.
That is what made the play SO great !!!
-It's why nobody cared that Lyle Alzado was full of lab synthesized horse urine !!!
We wanted to watch him lay waste to an offense with his quarterback destroying sacks.
-It's why watching Barry Bonds go from being a skinny looking dude in the Pirate Outfield to a 400 foot home run hitting monster juiced up on Winstrol for the Giants over the course of the 1998 season was so much fun...
...and why watching him hit a 450 foot home run was every bit as entertaining as watching him wiff on three straight pitches and stomp back to the dugout with his hair on fire.
-It's why an entire nation was mesmerized when a guy that was pissed off at being benched took a knee during the national anthem and then said it was in protest of police brutality. Nobody really gave a shit why he took a knee - we just like watching a train wreck and he was the train wreck of the week.
It's why I liked watching Deion Sanders talk SO.MUCH.SHIT when he played for my Atlanta Braves and the Falcons - but hated him so fucking much when he went to the 49'ers
...entertainment value
It's why assholes like Lebron should just shut the fuck up and dribble.
