Dan Campbell is nuts. If that doesn't work he gets crucified.

Hutchinson thoughts:
-His arms look really small compared to the other players. I had thought he was bigger.
-His dad is an annoying meathead.
-His mom has no fucking idea what is going on in the game. Every time they show them the dad is standing up hollering, the mom gets up and asks what happened.

This is not a thing I need to see repeated week after week.

Who is Hutchinson and why are we seeing these things? (Like I know he's on the Detroit D... but why?)

He is a TTUN grad who had one good season, couldn't get drafted early, was taken by the hometown Lions, and is a feel good story for the franchise. He hasn't played terribly, but he also isn't lighting the league up.

As for why his parents are miced up, I assume someone at NBC thought this would be a cool new thing that NFL viewers would want to see.

We don't.

The biggest thing about the NFL that the 12 team CFP will add is the ability to lose a game early.

It's fun to watch a game that might not matter in the grand scheme of things. Does Campbell make that 4th and 2 call if the game means everything if they lose? Probably not.

It also won me my first NFL bet of the year. I bet the Lions to win outright.

Only Big Ben could talk this sort of shit about Cleveland, and I think even Stranger would begrudgingly admit that. Chase should shut the fuck up because Cleveland has owned the Bengals in recent years.

True, but I mean the disregard for the Browns. They're a legit team.

Steelers are getting absolutely destroyed. Four 3 and outs has been their offense into the 2nd quarter. Pickett looks awful. They can't run at all. They committing penalties non-stop.

This is a terribly coached team.

This is the Steelers I expected.

watching the Skins play, I was too optimistic.

Before the last drive that went for a TD, the Steelers had 10 total yards in 16 plays for an entire half. That last drive started with 2 minutes left.

Mike Tomlin is the GOAT...when it comes to wasting timeouts and losing challenges.

If you lose to the Steelers this year your whole team should commit ritual suicide.

Steelers offense was terrible, but at least their defense sucked. 30-7 and it wasn't that close.

The only good thing I can say is Freiermuth scored a TD for one of my fantasy teams.

It cannot be overstated how bad Kenny Pickett looked.

When they go under 500, remember who predicted it!

Although, you are playing the AFC South, right? Ugh.
