NFL 2022-23: How About A Lions vs. Jaguars Super Bowl?

So the talking heads are driving me crazy over the cowpoke's loss- as they keep framing it as this massive disaster the world has never seen. One of the points is how long it's been since they've been in the championship- which they last won in 1995. They claimed it's the longest in the NFL.

As if the Commanders (1991), Lions (1991), and the Dolphins (1992) don't count. I'm not including the Browns, since their 1989 last time was taken by the Ravens, and the current Browns can only trace back to 1998.

Let alone the number of championships the D men have- which is considerably more than all of the above- especially the Lions since they've never been to the SB and they are one of the oldest franchises. The Browns/Ravens franchise has gone twice after they moved. The current Browns have another 20 seasons to match the Lions.

Sure, the Cowboys have had a long stretch of bad play, but it's not the worst by any real measure. The only way it's worse is when the ego of the owner is factored in.

That's because the Lions are supposed to suck and the Cowboys are supposed to be good.

You forgot about the Packers and the Midwest.

And the Broncos and the Rockies.

And the Raiders and “I’m pretty sure that place sells meth and coke.”

Uh, the Packers would be just Wisconsin and the UP. Can't have Minnesota or Illinois. I guess Iowa, but who actually lives there? The rest of Michigan are Lions, and Indiana has their own team.

And the contempt Karon has for the rest of the NFC-N, the hate is strong against them, locally.

edit- I missed the Broncos part- yea- not so much. Recall that I'm from Idaho, and I really can't stand the Broncos. Hate them a lot. I get seeing the Lions being 40 miles from Detroit, I hated seeing Denver being hundreds of miles from there. There was a zero chance of going to a Broncos game unless is was well planned in advance.

I was not aware about the Packers and Broncos.

I don't know if the Raiders are still the Favorite Team Of Men Who Are Or Soon Will Be In Prison.
 
Lots of people wearing Raiders and White Sox gear in the late 80s to early 90s that knew absolutely nothing about those respective sports. The NWA effect.

If you happen to be on Twitter at all today, do NOT click on why Damar Hamlin is trending. JFC - the tinfoil hats are out in full force saying he's dead and the guy at the game on Sunday was a body double.

Not really a surprise. These people also think Joe Biden has been replaced by a demon.
 
Jets hire Nathanial Hackett as an offensive coordinator, hoping to get Rodgers, I'm guessing. He's not very good otherwise.

Hackett as an OC

Buffalo 2013- 29th
2014-31st.
Jacksonville 2016- 25th
2017- 18th

so going back in time, I saw that some fines were laid out for the pushing the trainer in the GB-Detroit game.

Quay Walker was fined a massive $13,261 for that penalty that caused him to get ejected. Wow, that's going to really teach a lesson, isn't it. Especially for a second offence at pushing a non player. Whew- going to hurt for sure.

The forearm to Swift's head that was the reason the trainer was on the field in the first place, nothing. For sure, that's going to leave a mark to make sure he doesn't do that again.

Then again, Jamaal Williams got fined after the game for his TD celebrations for $18,556. So that will teach those packers.

Wait, what? Oh, yea, the Detroit player got fined for a celebration dance, but the Packers players who shoved a trainer and forearmed a player to the head got less of a total fine than a celebration dance.

So tell me why Detroit fans should not be angry at the NFL again? That's complete....
 
Those fines are locked in by the CBA. I don’t know why Walker didn’t get fined for the Buffalo ejection, but 13k was the maximum for a first offense for an unsportsmanlike fine. Trainers don’t fall under contact with an official which would’ve deemed a much higher penalty.

Williams’ was his second fine of the year for celebrating. So he got the second offense level of 18k.

As for Reed, on review they may not have deemed him defenseless. As bad as it looks I think that play is technically legal if he was still considered a runner.
