I'll take, but I don't know if this mindset is needed in sports. And hey, we got a WNBA dynasty going on here. Nah, it's not that im bandwagoning. The Giants are still my team, but out of these teams the Vikings are the most endearing to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Funny thing is it was actually a bad pass, but because it was a bad pass it didn't go where the defender thought it would. If it had, Williams likely makes the play. Now that I've had time to really let the game sink in, I think that might be the most exciting play I've ever seen. I really don't recall feeling anything like it. I was watching the game with like 20-30 people, everyone was resigned to defeat. I went into the kitchen (but I could still see the TV) to grab a bottle and some shot glasses because I knew were going to be doing some sad drinking. A lot of other people stop watching too. And then my mom just screams out, "You've got to be f'ing kidding me." I look over and Diggs just crossed the goal line. I could not believe it. Even Diggs, after the game, had said that he accepted defeat. It sounds like Case was the only one who thought they still had a chance, and went out there and made the biggest play of his life. Good for him! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A career journeyman QB catches lightning in a bottle. A failed starter replaces the likely MVP and leads them to a title. And a QB mocked more than just about any in NFL history overcomes the hate. The Pats' story line doesn't offer anything like that really. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Right, but that MVP-replacing QB plays for a team that has perhaps THE worst fans in football and that mocked QB played like ass in the game before the last one, plus the Jags bore me.

Good for him! I've looked at it from a hundred angles since I read this post. I can't disagree more. It was an excellent pass. Sure, it wasn't as on-the-sideline as you might want. But even if the safety had immediately initiated a proper tackle, Stephon Diggs had a legitimate chance to get out of bounds (and I think he would have). Hell, at the end of the day I think Diggs is smart enough to have known that he simply couldn't go down in bounds and would have done anything (including possibly an 'accidental' fumble out of bounds) to get the clock stopped. Remember, it's not like they were throwing a hail mary. They had a full 10 seconds, plenty of time to work the sideline. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nictarion Posted January 16, 2018 Share Posted January 16, 2018 My condolences to Cowboys fans on the hiring of Paul Alexander as their O-line coach. You guys probably have enough talent on that line to cover up his terribly outdated and passive schemes for a while, but you better hope Jerry doesn’t let him have much say in future draft picks. He singlehandedly set the Bengals back years do to completely missing on a couple high picks that have been total disasters. To put things in perspective we wanted him out of Cincy even more than Marvin Lewis... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I mean... if the Bengals o-line's performance this year is any indicator of his success as a coach at all, I'm not sure why anyone would go near him with a ten-foot stick...

Case was supposed to drive the ball to Diggs’ outside shoulder so it would either be a catch and he immediately goes out of bounds or it’s an incompletion. And that’s what Williams was playing. But Case threw it way behind Diggs, and that’s why he missed so bad (a veteran probably would have adjusted and tackled Diggs in bounds). Diggs made an amazing play and slowed down and went back for the ball, which is also why he had enough room to pivot and turn it up field. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fez Posted January 16, 2018 Share Posted January 16, 2018 Are Jets fans really that bad? (Relatively, I mean) I think most of the bad ones are just endlessly delusional, with a massive kid-brother complex about the Patriots, but that doesn't even put them in the bottom half of bad fans. And don't bring up Fireman Ed. He's just a single guy with a hopelessly inflated ego. There's also plenty of examples of drunken toxicity and misogyny, but sadly that sums up elements of every NFL fanbase (every sports fan base really).

Maithanet Posted January 16, 2018 Share Posted January 16, 2018 Also, which fanbases are the worst is obviously greatly influenced by where you live. I would consider the three most obnoxious fanbases to be Pittsburgh, Philly and New England. But there's a good chance this is influenced by being so close to PA. Although I've never had much of a problem with either Ravens or Panthers fans, which are similarly nearby. One of my good friends lives in FL and insists that Dolphins fans are THE WORST, and that they still bring up the 17-0 season as if everyone should care about this season that happened before most of us were born. Seeing how I've only met a couple of Dolphins fans in my whole life, I can't really judge how obnoxious they are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
