NFL Week 4 Thread: Bring Back Bubby!!!

Cincy is awful. AJ Green working to come back to that?

 

Got to avoid a MNF hangover and beat the Ravens. 1-4 won't get it done.

 

No hangover. They will be riding a pretty good high this week.

This pretty much is a totally new Steeler team out there except for the O-line and Hayward.

 

I was impressed by the wrinkles to the offensive playcalling, with the wildcat and some of the jet runs. Rudolph was still a little too conservative with his throws, but he's still getting used to these receivers (except for Washington, who coincidentally did nothing).

If Pitt can beat the Ravens at home, the season can be saved. Big game next week for the entire division. If Steelers win and Browns lose, they're tied for first, which is crazy.

 

MNF has gone from the highest rated show on TV to dinner theater in Des Moines. It used to be sad but now it’s just another relic of American Exceptionalism

 

Indeed; it's the Marriott of sports.

(When did Marriott become so sucky, by the way? The last few times I've stayed there the service and the facilities were terrible.)

 

What is especially awful is ESPN hyping their match-ups (like they do everything they air) as if they matter and the "hot take artists" suddenly are find the teams "intriguing."

 

If you’re watching ESPN for anything other than a game you’re doing it wrong.

 

I've had no such issues recently, not even with the Fairfields and Springhill Suites of the world.

 

Watching TSN in Canada was pretty refreshing last weekend. It was almost like what ESPN used to be. Sure, there are some hockey commentary shows, but I didn't stumble across any true hot take shows on their five networks.

 

Oh I don't - but the mindset also infects their website, which makes me figure SAS is talking the same kind of nonsense.
