Good point, mom.
I think they talked too much before the game. Mike Mitchell was talking about how they were going to beat NE and how it did not matter where they played them.
A Jag’s player on Twitter responded that Mitchell will have all off season to play NE on Madden now. An awesome slam. Classic.
Deadspin ran an article with all the trash talking the Jags are doing, and it's hilarious. I want the Browns to be that team. They have taken so many beatings from the Steelers over the years. We're just two free wins to that team, and it's been that way pretty much from the rebirth.
I also love that Pittsburgh isn't a scary/intimidating team any more. They have an aging QB who can still play, a ridiculously good RB and WR (I love watching Antonio Brown, all hatred of Pittsburgh aside) and that's it.
Their defense isn't scary any more. In fact, they really aren't even good. The mistique of the steelers, the uniforms, etc plays up to them being that team, but honestly, after what I saw Sunday, New England would have put 60 up on that team. I also think Mike Tomlin is overrated as a coach. He's been bailed out by Ben and Dick Lebeau for years, and now that Lebeau is gone, and Ben is beat up and old, you're seeing how good of a coach he really is.
I also love the particular group of Browns fans who think Tomlin is this legendary great coach. I absolutely miss hearing these dolts call in the Monday after another Browns loss with the whole "do you think Mike Tomlin would put up with this???" as if he's Bill Belichick, as if he could do any better than any of the schlubs we have sent out there to coach the Browns. Gimme a break.
I was so disinterested in the playoffs until last Sunday. Seeing the Steelers lose, especially to a team that they clearly didn't respect was awesome. And seeing the Vikings and their fan base go through all those ups and downs was great to see. I'm officially pulling or them. I visited Minneapolis over the summer and had a blast. Great town, great people. They deserve a winner.
