Picks for next week NFL games

[Mudpuppy]

Steelers for the win.. And this is why I hate the super bowl.. the regular season all the leading up to it is awesome but all the hype, bullshit, the way the NFL and officiating manipulate the results is why I have no interest in the super bowl.. It lacks the purity of the game that makes it so good..

Last week the Packers, Bears and Jets looked sick. If I had a say in it I would say all 3 teams should close up shop and disenfranchise. They were an embarrassment. Rex Ryan, Jay Cutler and Aaron Rodgers should be shot. Well at least the first two - let Rodgers fail on a national level when the Steelers pound him into the ground and then shoot him.

I no doubt don't try to dispute the Steelers are a far better team than any of the other 3. I just really wanted to see something different and more importantly some good games. Well none of that is possible now. The super bowl is a joke. Seems like it has been since the late 70s.. And how the fuck can the Jets beat the Patriots (which I was glad to see) and then just give up and play like shit against the Steelers? Motherfucker please.. If I am not at the super bowl party please start without me.. I will be doing something far more interesting..

As a baseball fan first, the one and done nature of football playoffs coupled with a clock that can be manipulated by a shittier team pisses me off. The qb taking a knee to kill the clock shit needs to get axed

I'd like to see a rule that you have to make forward progress to keep the clock going, so you actually have to try somewhat.

IDK but they need to somehow take the booth and refs out of it.

2002 - Brady incomplete pass??!?!?
2011 - Sanchez fumble??!?!?

Both WRONG calls. It's quite obvious they were manipulating the outcome.

Let's bring back the USFL or XFL or whatever. No refs, no rules, cage match football. The best man, or the one still living, at the end wins.

Fumble for first possession was a cool idea

It was a similar deal to how they start basketball and hockey except with a whole hands team. Assuming I remember it correctly. According to the front page im old now lol

For the XFL, the ball was placed @ the 50, and one guy from each team got like a 10 yard running start at it. Whoever recovered it, their team got the ball first. They were also allowed to have their nicknames on their jersey if they wanted.
