We sacrificed TJ Watt’s knee to make the playoffs


SoFlyKight

You have to at least win the Wild Card or it wasn't even worth it.


ieattoomanyburritos

While I don’t necessarily think that’s impossible, lets just say I would be pleasantly surprised

DollarDollar

Don’t worry. McD has hired multiple interns to count to 11


SuperSaiyanSandwich

Part of me desperately wants y'all to beat the Bills so we can avenge the "sweep". Then part of me is scared shitless of facing an AFCN team in the playoffs even if we should be heavily favored on paper.


AltecFuse

To be fair, I think this year every team should be scared of playing an AFCN team in the playoffs.


Rock-swarm

"Yeah, this is the smallest chainsaw we have in stock." "But it still cuts pretty good, right?" "Oh definitely. This sucker absolutely chews through wood. It's just that I've got bigger, stronger chainsaws available."


gbeezy09

Mason just opened up the offense for yall. Dude is just slinging it cuz he has nothing to lose. Refreshing to see from Pickett.


Overall_Nuggie_876

We sacrificed TJ Watt’s knee to ~~make the playoffs~~ finish above .500 for Tomlin.


Jakebob70

No, that was already locked up with the win over Seattle.


pahbert

So that's how Tomlin does it...


serbeardless

Black Monday has passed and Matt Eberflus and Luke Getsy are still Bears employees.


Jasonofindy

I’m honestly surprised that Eberflus is still there. As a Colts fan, we were honestly surprised he was hired to begin with as the feelings around here were that he was on the hot seat to be fired here right as you were hiring him to begin with. Does them retaining Eberflus foreshadow their decision on Justin Fields? Keeping Eberflus but drafting a new QB at 1 seems nonsensical to me. It just seems like you’d want a coach better equipped to develop your draft pick instead of a coach that could be fired next year forcing a coaching and likely offensive scheme change in year 2 on your newly drafted QB.


serbeardless

> Keeping Eberflus but drafting a new QB at 1 seems nonsensical to me. You, me, and everyone else. Unfortunately, we have a tendency of hanging onto a lame duck HC, drafting a new QB, and then firing the HC a year into the new QB's career. And also failing to learn from our mistakes. See for example our recent history with Mitch Trubisky (John Fox to Matt Nagy) and Justin Fields (Matt Nagy to Matt Eberflus).


Jasonofindy

Hopefully they will come to their senses and start fresh. I honestly always hoped you guys would win one under Lovie. (Just not THAT one). I still remember all the excitement in 1985. (I grew up about five hours south down I-57 in Illinois). If you would have told the Bears fans around me that that 85 defense would never make it back to a second Super Bowl, they wouldn’t have believed you. Good Luck to you.

MY TEAM COMPLETELY CHOKED THE DIVISION AND A PLAYOFF SPOT


phillyeagle99

Arguably they choked the conference… but I would have no idea what that feels like


SammyBronkowitz

I feel your pain


pyreal_

Wow, yet another year where the networks refuse to show a single Chargers playoff game. Unbelievable.


everythingisreallame

My complaint is that the Chargers will be this off seasons mvps despite only changing their head coach.


on-the-cheeseburgers

My team is the worst


redooo

Hold on there buddy, I'm pretty sure *our* team is the worst.


Knightro829

Are we seizing the means of suckitude and placing under collective ownership? Beauty...I'll grab the rifle and be right there.


uncoolaidman

My complaint is that my team has to play a playoff game.


Knightro829

I live in Orlando and thanked the Gods (all of them) that the family already has a Disney staycation planned for the long weekend so I'm not tempted to waste my money braving I-4 traffic to watch Baker fucking Mayfield torch us for 400 yards and 5 TDs...


Bkbee

I work at Saratoga resort, come over here and I can yell “Cry Eagles Cry” and “You suck!” To make you feel better


BlueHighwindz

Your team has been great twice in the time the Broncos have sucked continuously.


austinalexan

FictionalTrebek

TAKE MY KNEE LAPORTA


yic0

Do the Pistons have anymore life force left for y’all to drain to give to LaPorta’s knee?


AmeriCanadian98

The Pistons? No probably not. Can we sacrifice the Tiger season before it even starts? Is that allowed?


yic0

Whatever you gotta do for that Lions Super Bowl.


AmeriCanadian98

I'm a hockey guy first and foremost so sacrificing the Wings is just about out of the question, but I can live with the Tigers being even worse than they were in 03 if it means the Lions have a deep playoff run


yic0

From my point of view, because the Lions are your only team without a title, if worst comes to worst, you gotta consider sacrificing the Wings too. But that’s just me talking as an Atlanta Fuckups fan.


stoneyhawk

what the fuck are the Bears even trying to do


[deleted]

Do exactly what we did the last two times: keep a lame duck HC, draft a QB, fire lame duck HC at season end, hire new HC for year 2 of new QB. John Fox, draft Mitch, hire Nagy year 2 Nagy, draft Fields, hire Flus year 2


BrohanM

This. Would be insane to continue this trend when we have a chance to reboot the QB with a new HC and offensive mind


hard_pass

It makes sense to everyone else, it's a perfect opportunity to start fresh with a ton of picks. Of course, the Bears aren't going to do it though. It's maddening and it's not even my team.


Minimum_Cucumber7170

I might legitimately switch to becoming a fan of another team


amethystalien6

Have you considered the Packers? There are ups and downs but I can guarantee two wins every year.


Overall_Nuggie_876

As soon as he realized the trip to Detroit was dependent on the Bears being useful against the Packers, Carson Wentz said *”fuck that”* and willed his legs against the Niners.


Jakebob70

When your team owner is 101 years old and still in charge...


LegacyLemur

"Sure, he has the worst coaching record in Bears history. Sure he's had 3 historic losses this season alone and spent last year choking away games. Sure the players have seemed bitter towards a lot of his decision making. Sure he can't beat any of the division rivals. Sure, he hasn't shown the ability to develop a QB. Sure, he had two of his coaching hires resign in disgrace But still, there goes the best damn coach the Bears have ever had" -Ryan Poles and Kevin Warren I guess


Janawham_Blamiston

Their best.


Struggle-Agile

As long as the McCaskeys are in control, the organization will never be serious about winning. The team is literally their sole source of income. As long as there are fans still filling the stadiums and buying their merch, they are content enough to never win a championship ever again.


silverrabbit

This is such a bullshit sentiment that I keep seeing. They literally fired Ryan Pace and Nagy as soon as the team regressed and hired someone who had been on a winning team to help them build a better roster. I won't pretend the Bears have been making GOOD moves, but it would be inaccurate to say they aren't serious about winning. Virgina McCaskey is 101 years old and you better believe she wants to see them win again.

At least you guys still have your first!


Walks_with_Chaos

Yes 😭


making-flippy-floppy

Pretty sure they can't top the "oh my God!" moment when they drafted Rodger Vick in the first round.


Zaphenzo

To be fair, they've actually been pretty dang good at drafting recently. Besides Zach Wilson, obviously.


notmyplantaccount

at least you'll have 34 weeks of your QB making sure he's in the news cycle saying stupid shit the whole time.


Drrek

Stay away from my coordinators, you animals.


Glass-False

Same. Well, one of them anyway.


Uncle_Benny15

Can't wait to see the new QB carousel graphic that is going to be made for the Broncos next season

That was Elway's thing. Except when Allen was available

THE WAIT BETWEEN THE RAVENS LAST MEANINGFUL GAME WEEK 17 AND THE DIVISIONAL ROUND IS REMINDING ME JUST HOW LONG THE OFFSEASON IS.

spartan117S

nfl should not allow interviews for the staff from other teams before the super bowl, come one, that is a big distraction for teams and the personal.


notmyplantaccount

I feel like they should wait until after wild card or divisional at least. No one really needs to start interviewing the week or two after, and that would put most teams in the offseason.


spartan117S

agree


OverlyOptimisticNerd

I’m just disappointed that my man, Brian Johnson, isn’t the hot HC candidate that the media claimed he would be. The man is a legit offensive genius and deserves consideration. Would love for him to get the Commanders’ job!


Dudephish

He sounds more like an AC/DC candidate.


xcaltoona

Maybe someone will mix him up with Ben Johnson


OverlyOptimisticNerd

We did that with a player before and drafted the wrong guy. Two players in the same team and we named the wrong one at the draft. I’m having a huge brain fart on who it was.

Kimmel v Rodgers, Rodgers hasn't taken a bigger beatdown since he ran into the 9ers in the playoffs


JojenCopyPaste

Which time?


non_clever_username

Any non-comedian who tries to take on a comedian in a war of words is going to get obliterated 100% of the time. By the time we’ve heard of them, they’ve dealt with dozens or hundreds of Rodgers types in the bars and clubs they started in. You don’t get to where Kimmel is at without being quick-witted and learning to deal with jackasses talking shit at you. E: for that matter, I don’t like Kimmel all that much or think he’s all that funny. But you’re 100% going to lose against any professional comedian


nicetrylaocheREALLY

"Never pick a fight with people who buy ink by the barrel."


AlfonzL

Don't bring a ~~knife~~ *conspiracy theory* to a ~~gun~~ *battle of wits* fight.


tarekd19

It's even worse because half the time Rodgers seems to think of himself as a comedian. His whole thing against Kimmel seems like the poor attempt of someone terminally online to make a joke to clap back against someone they perceived slighted them first. Elon Musk does the same nonsense but even worse somehow.


everythingisreallame

Poor guy. It would have been funny if it weren’t for all this wokeness. /s

LindyNet

Matt Schaub is funnier


PowerDiesel23

The NFL just scratched the halftime show, and instead of a musical performance....were gonna get a fightclub style deathmatch between Kimmel and Aaron Rodgers. This is what the world wants to see.


FrigOffRicky16

There's no way that I'd ever watch that legally, not even with a free trial. I ain't supporting that crap.

Dudephish

R.I.P Dangerwich.


Stretch_Riprock

I looked up "Iowa Food" And had never heard of "Ham Balls"..... So Purdy could be a HAM Ball Sub. If we make them beef then we could call it a 'Chuck Down Sub'.


RyanPelley

MUST BE NICE TO MAKE THE FUCKING PLAYOFFS.


bestthrowawayever5

The Dolphins gave our backup running back a concussion at the end of the first half and nobody is talking about it


green_euphoria

On an illegal hit* with no flag* that the NFL subsequently used as promotional material*


AmeriCanadian98

The NFL used the Kerby Joseph hit to the head on Justin Jefferson in a highlight package. Jefferson was shaken up and Joseph was injured on the play They don't care about player safety at all


tarekd19

WE'RE IN THE PLAYOFFS! AND BEAT THE BEARS TO GET THERE! WHAT COULD WE POSSIBLY HAVE TO COMPLAIN ABOUT? I GUESS JOE BERRY BUT IT'S WHATEVER RIGHT NOW.


byniri_returns

I'm fascinated to see if the Packers D can hold up against Dak and that great offense. Especially since it's at Jerryworld where the Cowboys have been nigh unbeatable* recently.


nicetrylaocheREALLY

My guess? No, probably not. But for the first time in ages, that's truly okay.


gbeezy09

I swear to god if Rodgers lends Love his powers idk what imma do myself.


Taydolf_Switler22

Just sit back and enjoy us being killed by San Francisco 😎


_Goose_

As a Cowboys fan, this is umpossible


bujweiser

The answer is no. Controlling time of possession and getting into a shootout is our best hope. I can’t even pretend to say that we need turnovers, because we’ve been very poor at getting them this year.


JojenCopyPaste

If the Packer offense can keep with the long sustained drives like they have, at least Dallas won't be able to run up the score. Then maybe get lucky on a turnover or 2. Nothing's impossible, but I'm happy either way.


D0ctorHotelMario

Seattle was the closest to beating them this year at home if it wasn't for Shane Waldron's chickenshit playcalling near the end of the game.


Meat-n-Potatoes

Shane Waldron deserves much of the blame yes, but in a game with zero punts, you should also blame the defense.


[deleted]

[удалено]


Citizen_Snips29

The ref screwup that caused Dallas to leave an eligible receiver completely unguarded? The ref screwup that the Lions saw happen in real time and chose to do nothing to address? The ref screwup that left you two more chances to score (or even go for OT) afterwards? The ref screwup that wouldn’t even have been possible if they called tripping on the correct team? That ref screwup? Just making sure we’re on the same page. Edit: For context, the (now deleted) comment that I replied to stated that the Lions technically would have won if not for a ref screwup.


TaischiCFM

If you live in WI you can probably still complain about itchy, dry skin.

Zorseking34

Stop trying to take our personnel other teams!


notmyplantaccount

have you considered hiring guys that no one else ever wants?


UsVsWorld

Still heated we got the MNF time slot.


BrotherSeamus

*Give me something for the pain and let me die.* Fucking sucks, happened to us last season. Either your elimination gets dragged out another day, or you get a short week to prepare for a likely road game. And the Buccs actually got shafted two years in a row.


LindyNet

Sorry, the first game is reserved for any AFCS team playing. The second game is "cock" blocked, so you don't want that one. 1st game Sunday is for the non AFCS match up they feel no one wants. 2nd and 3rd games they are putting their premier games and the cowboys draw eyeballs. That leaves MNF for Baker vs the eagles.


UsVsWorld

I feel like they could have gave us the early Sunday slot. Bills should have gotten an extra day considering they played the latest game the previous week anyways Whoever wins is definitely going to get blasted the next week due to fatigue and whoever loses is going to get a full day from fans and media dedicated just to shitting on them. It sucks


xkulp8

I don't get why we've never had MNF games on the last week of the regular season, ostensibly because it would give those teams less rest for the playoffs, but suddenly MNF games in the playoffs themselves are fine.


COTEReader

Dolphins vs. Chiefs is going to be the most boring, one-sided match this season. The dolphins have no chance of winning. At least that’s the game the NFL chose to be on peacock


Citizen_Snips29

The Chiefs are one of those teams that can probably beat anyone or lose to anyone any given week.


[deleted]

So basically any NFL team


Citizen_Snips29

Sure “Any Given Sunday” and all that. Just saying they’ve looked inconsistent enough that Miami taking the win would not surprise me in the least.


Janawham_Blamiston

I'd give that to the Bills right now. Lost to the Jets, the Pats (almost twice), but beat the Dolphins, Cowboys, and we could've/should've beat the Eagles.

Our coach has lost control of the locker room and the whole team is rallying around a serial rapist backup QB. So yeah...basically we need a whole new team.


Overall_Nuggie_876

My team’s special teams is the worst!


LazyBuhdaBelly

I'm super sick with a sore throat to the point where I can't even talk so I took the day off.


deathandtaxes1617

Neither my coach, GM, or owner will squash rumors of our coach being on the team next year and every minute that passes makes me feel more and more certain he won't be here.

The eagles game is on monday night meaning whatever happens will be the main story line for the rest of the week. We can't even die quietly.

I FEEL THAT OUR DIVISIONAL ROUND OPPONENT WILL PLAY WAY BETTER THAN THEY SHOULD AND BE BETTER THAN THE OTHER REMAINING SIDE OF THE AFC BRACKET’S TEAMS FOR SOME REASON. I ALSO THINK THAT WE’LL FORGET WE HAVE HANDS IN THE PLAYOFFS LIKE IN 2019 DAMN IT!!! EDIT: “FEL” TO FEEL!


Lost_And_Found66

THIS IS GONNA HURT SO BAD


ChoccyMilkIsMyLife

The Seahawks, then the Huskies. All I feel is pain.


maltzy

I and many of my fellow bengals fans are really nervous the Bengals FO is gonna run it back with the Oline setup we currently have. Our Oline coach, well we had the worst running game in the NFL (he's our Run game coordinator too) and our Olinemen have regressed the last two years. Something is clearly not working and they have absolutely invested in making them better via FA and trying in the draft. But it needs to have already been fixed. and it's frustrating to have a talent like Burrow and the bengals FO seemingly isn't trying to do everything they can to protect him.


BlueHighwindz

George Paton is still on the payroll so I can guarantee you three, make that four, things: 1) we'll draft a corner instead of a QB, 2) some fucking loser will be our QB next season and a different loser will be the QB after that, 3) Payton will get bored and pissy and quit after years of futility here, and 4) I'll never find a football team I want to be a fan of instead of this neverending bullshit.


DropC2095

Winning seasons with no playoffs sucks. Especially when it’s your first loss in week 3 that ultimately eliminated you.


scotte16

I hoped and prayed that the bullshit ending to the Colts/Browns game wouldn’t matter, but it literally ended up costing us the playoffs. Obviously we lost 7 other games and weren’t quite playoff material, but the fact that the stuff that was out of our control ended up being the difference is infuriating.


notmyplantaccount

I want to complain about not having anything to complain about. My team's slide at the end of the season was greatly overshadowed by the Eagles and Jaguars taking a dump. We got to rest most of our starters before the playoffs start, while the Dolphins 3 remaining uninjured starters have a short week now playing Saturday and traveling. It's snowed here the last 2 days, and will be cold as shit at game time which will be fun to watch. Skyy Moore and Toney both have "injuries" that will keep them off the offense, and the rest of the team is as healthy as it's been all season. Also, wild card weekend is the best weekend of football. 6 games all on 1 at a time with the loser going home, and hopefully all of them are close besides ours.


impeelout

Lions should be #1 seed, fuck the refs


jpk17041

We lost to the fucking Jets


Cellopost

It could be worse, it's not like both your team's lost to rivals this week.


jpk17041

At least the Bears loss means that I get to see Patriots at Soldier Field next year


Cellopost

That works out then.


FictionalTrebek

My team is the Titans. That's the whole complaint


NatureTrailToHell3D

Sure am glad my home team didn't make the playoffs just to get steamrolled in the national championship game. That would be depressing.

WabbitCZEN

WE COULD'VE RESTED TJ THE ENTIRE SECOND HALF AND STILL WON THE GAME. WE DIDN'T TAKE THE LEAD UNTIL THE 4TH QUARTER ANYWAYS AND HE GOT INJURED IN THE THIRD. I WILL TAKE ALL THE DOWN VOTES OVER THIS BECAUSE HAVING HIM HEALTHY FOR A PLAYOFF GAME IS MORE IMPORTANT THAN ANY RECORD.

smikkelson2

The overall quality of football this year has been so dog shit that hockey has officially overtaken it as my favorite sport. Yes obviously my own team was a huge part of that but in general this season was terrible as far as entertainment goes
