NFL football was just insane insanely bad in this moment. offenses got dumber and less interesting than they were in the 90s or even 80s. the uniforms looked terrible. no surprise the league only really exploded into the stratosphere after passing was rediscovered by the pats in 2007

the situational formation and personnel choices are insane. i love it. this is how i was calling plays in madden at 10.

21 personnel i-form on third-and-10? sure

The Patriots have one successful run so far, and it was a 1-yard run on third-and-1

The Lions fired John Morton after Campbell cucked him, and the Commanders front office is reportedly meddling with personnel decisions.

Ben Johnson is ball knower of the year and the race isn't even close
