It's more about the teams that get left out. Like a 10-6 team with a tough schedule losing a playoff spot to a 7-9 team that by definition got at least six games against teams even crappier than they were.

Being unable to adapt is a killer. I also saw something about how his playcalling in the games where the Titans had a lead was absurdly conservative and contributed to the losing. I couldn't subject myself to actually watching any Titans games to find out for sure.

Unfortunately, it's probably also true that Mettenberger isn't even as good as his numbers at LSU indicated, given the presence of three NFL-quality offensive skill players on his team.

The NFL's objective in its entirety is to continue making shitloads of money for its owners. Roger Goodell has some personal ego issues about getting players to Respect His Authoritah, but outside of that, every decision he has made has been about A)making more profit for the owners or B)pretending that things it…

At least 16-0 is an actual accomplishment. Didn't the Colts hang some "AFC Championship Game Participant" banner this year?

Eh, I think the team has drafted pretty poorly. He's done an impressive job getting veterans who still have it to sign with Team Peyton, though.

Forte is a 29-year-old running back in his eighth straight year as the heavily featured back for an NFL team. I believe the proper terminology is "already wasted the prime of his career playing for the Bears."

Surprisingly low.

My brother-in-law was one of those goons! He was an enforcer who had a brief cup of coffee in the NHL but ended up carving out a pretty long career in the minors and abroad— mostly in what was then the Russian Super League, where I think he set some penalty minute records.

Whis went 3-20 with Tennessee. Even funnier, as Tom Gower mentioned on Twitter: Two of his wins were season openers, so he went 1-20 in "games he had less than eight months to prepare for."

The Denver defense is amazing, but I give New England the advantage due to the fact that Bill Belichick and Gary Kubiak's coaching aptitudes are so far apart, they might as well be playing different games.

To be fair, that game would have been a lot less close if the Jags didn't get to the 1 and Gus Bradley then decided the best offensive strategy possible was to run zero-skills running back Toby Gerhart into the line four times in a row.

Once your gimmick uniforms start to contain none of your actual team colors, you've officially gone too far.

The two Giants teams that made the Super Bowl had great pass rushes. This Giants team's pass rush could so far could be described as "nonexistent."

I'm pretty sure the official Gamergate position on this is "Fine, we'll listen to a woman talk if she's as hot as Scarlett Johansson."

They screwed it up going to 4 divisions. Guarantees too many playoff spots for teams that may not deserve it. When it was 3 division winners and 3 wild cards, it was damn near impossible for a division winner with a losing record to make the playoffs. (I think Seattle in 2010 was the first team to do it outside of the…

I'm sure Jay Gruden's latest excuses for his poor play will please him.

Probably they didn't have anyone better than Maroth to throw out there.

On the other hand, Todd Gurley is looking like he was underdrafted. RB is generally a position where there's no need to spend much in the draft or free agency, but Gurley seems to be proving that truly special talents at the position are still worth the selection.

Really? Hines Ward was a cheap-shot artist. I find Smith eminently more likeable.
