    I’ve always enjoyed watching the best players in the world play.

    The NFL used to be a little too conservative and every offense was the same. That isn’t the case anymore. Teams go for it on 4th down on the wrong side of the 50. I mean, we root for a team that once punted on 4th and 1 at the Oregon 39 yard line.

    The Chargers probably didn’t make the playoffs because they were too aggressive going for it on 4th down.

    The Chargers didn't make the play off because I'm not allowed to have nice things.

    I attended many a San Diego Chargers loss in a half empty Jack Murphy stadium in the 80s. Then I realized in 1990 I could start liking UW because my dad was an alumni and this college football thing was way more fun.

    Now I'm back to square one with a big dick Duck QB and no Super Bowl prospects.

    I'm calling it now. Chargers in Super Bowl 2023. The salary cap is gonna hit most of the other good teams in the AFC, except Cincinnati -- but I don't see the Bengals going back-to-back. It's kind of a miracle they made it this year. Chargers have a lot of room to make some moves to help the duck. (Shore up that D-line against the rush maybe?)

    College football used to be set apart from the NFL. More passion and tradition. More fun. Especially away games. Now everything that made it different has been tossed.

    Let me tell you about life down South....

    If the chargers fix their run defense I agree, I think they can make a deep playoff run.
    But disagree with the bengals, should have all of the WRs back and Joey B, if they can get a couple decent olinemen they should be just as good if not better, but that’s a lot easier said than done

    Bengals got a 2 year window until they have to start paying players.

    CFB used to be a more passionate game than the NFL. It's the other way around now.

    Watching the same 3-5 CFB programs duke it out every year is just a total fail.

    We are about to watch a Bengals vs. Rams Super Bowl. That's roughly equivalent to a Purdue vs. Cal National Championship. How likely is that? CFB is broken. Completely.

    I'd call it more like Purdue vs. Utah (Rams are a good team), but your point stands.

    Rodgers won a SB then started losing conference title games

    Wilson won a SB then lost one then years of playoff loses

    Mahomes with 2 SB and 1 win with 4 straight conference title games is about as good as it gets for QBs not named Brady

    McVey is at his second SB with his second QB. The Gibbs method

    Burrow and the Bengals need to take advantage. This shit is fleeting

    Big reason Brady won because he took a pay cut to keep the gravy train running

    Started watching Man in the Arena (yeah I'm bored shitless). I have always hated Brady -- well, maybe for 75% of his career. But watching that documentary, it's pretty clear why he's the GOAT.

    (I still fucking hate the Patriots. Tedy Bruschi and Mike Vrabel can DIAFF.)
