Ana, the vast majority of the time an NFL team wins around 8 games by within one score, it's because their defense can't put the game away or their offense has to do late game heroics which is unsustainable. A lot of teams tend to lose 5-6 less games the next year if they win the fashion the Steelers had last year, and when Shazier went down their defense went to shit. Their expected win-loss record was 10-6 or 9-7 or something based on their point differential, which is the stat correlated with future success and consistency.

And I've told you I disagree. Not getting into it again. Besides, I said the Pats were a king too.
Steelers aren't the king by any measure. The Broncos, Patriots, and Ravens have been to a Super Bowl more recently than the Steelers. The Steelers have won the division three times in the last 8 years, Bengals have won it 3 times, the Ravens have won it twice. Also, the Ravens have won more playoff games in the last 8 years (6) than the Steelers have (2). And we haven't exactly been labeled "kings" either.

For a bunch of seasons, this was the point in the seasons where the Patriots floundered and the dynasty is over, for the record.
I'm pretty fucking superstitious as an NFL fan and I will not believe the Patriots look weak until I see them eliminated from the playoffs. I'm not falling for that bullshit this time.

We've been over this but that Steelers team was definitely not great. They were 13-3 but had a Pythag of like 10-6, they eked out too many close wins to be "king." They got beat pretty handily by the Jaguars twice that year so if anything Jacksonville is better off.
Besides, the Patriots made 3 of the last 4 Super Bowls ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Yeah, the coverage isn't even that bad, he just gets the ball exactly where it needs to be.

It was nice to finally beat Tom Brady and the fucking Patriots for once, and fairly decisively at that. But I will note that this is pretty common for the Patriots, the Chiefs had a great game against them in the opener last year and look what happened.
yah and they just traded for josh gordon
they just couldn't take it when the rest of the nfl was happy

Ravens dominate week 1, lose to a team they should almost never, but consistently do lose to.
And despite that, Flacco somehow had his best game ever in Cincinnati. Yeah, it's inexplicable; that was his best game.
i'm very happy with this week tbh ravens #2 in the division baby
pat mahomes is for real btw, that aint a fluke

My favorite standups are either Dave Chappelle or Lewis Black, probably because we're from the same area. I actually saw Lewis Black live on campus once too! Jim Jefferies is a close third though.
I've also seen second city in Chicago and DC (not exactly standup but plenty of famous comedians got their start here) and a few night clubs in New York. I've also seen Nick Offerman live and he wasn't that great, but Donald Glover is a pretty fucking good standup comedian live. I do love watching Bill Burr and Norm Macdonald in the right mood. John Mulaney is timeless and regardless of mood I enjoy watching him.

Is there anything that stops Trump from giving Manafort a pardon? It will look really bad, but if Democrats do not take the House, I do not see why Trump could not pardon him then.
If he was convicted by the state of New York and not convicted of federal crimes, then Trump cannot issue a presidential pardon I believe.

I can't tell who has it worse. Titans fans, Bills fans or Browns fans (who simply cannot do anything right).
the browns at least became the ravens
arguably the greatest thing theyve ever done
-
As a Ravens fan, I would love for the Browns to be 1-15-1 for the rest of their existence. Same with the Steelers (but they'll be 0-15-1).
-
today was probably the most amusing day of football i've seen in a while
-
Maybe the Bills will finally be a garbage team instead of a mediocre team. This is pretty much what they've needed but never got since the late 90s.

so who's watching pitt-cleveland...
EDIT: ben roethlisberger picked off in OT...
EDIT 2: LOL FIELD GOAL BLOCKED TIE GAME
-
Flacco literally has more completions than Peterman has yards.

Ummmmmm, about that...
... yeah i'm caught off guard, but at least they got two firsts
but this year the raiders are gonna tank (on defense)
EDIT: also i'd rather be wrong than have mack in the AFC lol
EDIT 2: I thought about this some more. Raiders are trying to rebuild again -- their 2016 season was pretty much a fluke in some ways considering all the close games they won, they were still 2nd in their division at 12-4 and likely would've flamed out at the divisional round if Carr stays healthy. 6-10 is probably closer to the kind of team they are and Gruden's probably trying to rebuild, also having 25% of your cap in two players is a problem. Lots of picks with your franchise QB might be better than a franchise QB and pass rusher taking 25% of your cap.
Bears have a QB on a rookie contract, and might be trying to ride this window for the next 4 years.

It looks like with Khalil Mack holding out, the Browns are showing interest of acquiring him. With the Browns having a pretty respectable defense, that would be scary.
the raiders arent gonna trade him away
he's gonna sit out a few games, the raiders will have like zero sacks or picks, and throw a 25 million dollar contract at him
anyway the ravens are lowkey really really stacked, the young guys from last year developed hard and our wide receiving corps actually exists and complements each other
our schedule is tough but W A T C H O U T the last time Flacco was in a do or die year this happened
(random homer fact of the day: Flacco has the most consecutive playoff games with 2 touchdown passes at 8, and he's #2 (would've been far and away #1 if Torrey Smith could tap his toes in bounds for once) for most consecutive playoff games with 3 td passes
we're gonna make waves

fuck george iloka, glad hes out of our division

I can't imagine I think everyone is aware of how much of a monster Arpaio is,
Sure, maybe not across the country. But Maricopa County is where much of the population of this state is, and they really do not like him. He is basically disgraced there.
Pima County (where I live right now) is generally pretty blue to begin with, and Tucson is only 30-40 miles from the US-Mexico border. They would never elect Arpaio in the first place.
Every other county is not that populated.
