I haven't been on here since yesterday morning but I gotta ask. Did the bad bunny super bowl thread take a turn for worse or something?
I noticed it's gone, along with all of my alerts. It's amusing if it did get shut down over taste in music. I'm not trying to restart anything. I'm just curious what derailed it. If anyone knows something, please, a DM/direct message reply will do.

It got political

Is it just me or are there a lot of bad teams this year? Like more than normal. When these Steelers are anyone's definition of a decent team, you know it's a bad year for football.

Random fact: Santino is a hip-hop artist in the area. Been around for a minute. Nice guy.

I feel like this has been the trend since 2020. Offenses are looking more and more elementary. Defenses are either lights out or pay everyone's lighting bill because they suck so bad that they help players secure higher contracts.

I think it has to do with QBs, too. Other than a handful, most of them are not good or are stuck on such bad teams, that it's ruining young QBs who might be good.

AFC is pretty much open, I see the Bills and Chargers with an edge

Ravens looks good on paper only, on the football field they are bad, their defense can't stop offenses to put poitns on the scoreboard.

Bengals is toast.

Chiefs despite their win Sunday, they have looked bad and boring until this last game.

NFC the Eagles is in that championship flow that even when they don't play great they find ways to win, they have that weird offense that sometimes the QB pass for 87 yards in a whole game but they win, their HC is kind of a weirdo as well but he is winning games and gaining that valuable experience in the process that happens when you can be a coach for years without the pressure of the hot seat. So you focus on the process as a whole, he is not worried with job security. The Rams look good and the Lions as well. GB will be in the playoffs.

Everything else is really bad football or still early in the rebuild like the Pats, I actually don't see a 'Up and coming' team that could get this label, maybe the Colts are a little bit for real, they could've been 4-0 if not for that stupid fumble that happens every year.

I've been talking about this for quite some time now. The overall quality of the NFL continues to erode. It's not what it was 15-20+ years ago. The turnover on players, coaches and injuries are getting out of hand. Players back in the day had less tech, didn't have rules protecting offensive players and more practices, yet did not get hurt as much as players are today. They are getting paid way to much to be tapping out as much as they are.

The days of the Patriots, 2000's Colts, "Greatest Show on Turf" Rams, 90's Cowboys, Bills, 49ers, Packers and Broncos are over.

I've wondered this myself. Is it just possible there was a uncommon surplus of good QB's in the previous two decades?

Manning bros, wth Eli being mentioned simply because he was good enough to not lose SB's. Even Flacco put together a ridiculous post-season performance to help win an SB. Roethlisberger, McNabb, Brees, Warner, Rivers, Brady, Romo, Rodgers, Ryan, Wilson, Luck, Newton, Mahomes...

Some of them didn't win an SB, but seem better than the crop of today. Who knows, maybe it's a "skips a generation thing" and we're about to enter another era lmao.

If I had to give my real guess, it's that coordinators and unit coaches aren't as good anymore and those braintrusts break up much faster with how quickly people get poached now. "Oh, so you shined the helmet of Aaron Rodger? Well hell, how about being the HC?"

I think cutting games and increasing padded practice would do wonders. The season is way too long now. People are getting paid more, yes, but that number is more influenced by inflation than people note (definitely not all of it, I know) and they're playing more and more games. The more games in a season, the less the decision of sitting out a game matters.
