NFL Week 12 -- Spaghetti Western

Nice guy, hard worker, not in the least little bit sad to see him go.

(Not exactly a hot take. But watching the whole progress-and-regress cycle got really tired.)

 

Jones has been a professional and a stand-up guy during his Giants tenure.

It’s not his fault the organization idiotically made him the No. 6 pick. And then, after a few seasons of mediocrity, doubled down with a big contract.

Those moves set the Giants back a decade.

 

I thought my vision was going crazy. Seemed like a couple of times when a guy ran over one of the numbers, the bottom half of his body disappeared.

 

This board does an autopsy after every Steelers loss. The Steelers are like 98% of NFL teams. They have some down games where they don't have it. Every team except the Lions this year has had them. It was a Thursday night road game in a blizzard.

 

Most of the game was not played in a blizzard. The weather did turn one area that had been an advantage for the Steelers all season into a disadvantage, the kicking game. Boswell had a rare miss, but having him try from 58 yards in rain and wind made little sense. The shanked punt was huge, and Waitman had been very good since they picked him up.

It was a weird game, worthy of a little discussion. It is a bigger deal because it was one of the supposed soft spots in a brutal second-half schedule for the Steelers.

 

Elle Duncan, of all ESPN talking heads, chose to burn Daniel Jones Thursday for his goodbye note, not knowing, obviously, what Jones and the Giants had arranged. She called it "inexplicable."

Duncan took some shots at Jones’ comments on her “Taking the Elle” segment on Thursday’s 6 p.m. SportsCenter. She first mocked Jones for saying he had to write his thoughts down, saying “I’m sorry, you have to write this down? Didn’t you go to Duke?”

“You guys think he had this saved in his notes since like 2020?” Duncan asked. “In all seriousness, DJ, I could have saved you like 90 seconds. A rewrite: I’m sorry you paid me $108 million for one playoff win. And I look forward to reviving my career as Brock Purdy’s backup. The end.”

Giants VP...wasn't a fan:

Steelers fans expect to win Super Bowls. They react according to that.

 

I expect no such thing, but misunderstand or misrepresent large groups of people on this board seems to be a pattern for you.

 

I didn't mean it as a criticism.

 

They've won 2 Super Bowls in the last 45 years. Same as the Rams.

 

Perhaps or perhaps not, but my point stands.
