This is the NFL Thread, Version 4! Welcome one, welcome all, to the hell we currently call American professional football!
Feel free to sit right at home with us here as we contemplate both some of the greatest games of all time and the absolute worst playcalling you will ever see in professional sports.
All in the same year!

That may have been the most boring game of the week by a mile. Even the Browns and Ravens game was more interesting. Geez Louise.

I like the thread title. The Vikings certainly have used the assistance of divine intervention on multiple occasions this year.

Also, apparently I'm a myth now. That's pretty awesome.

But poor Russ, picked on in the opening post
The West won the world not by the superiority of its ideas or values or religion … but rather by its superiority in applying organized violence. Westerners often forget this fact; non-Westerners never do.

The most fundamental problem of politics is not the control of wickedness but the limitation of righteousness.

They also haven't won a playoff game in more than half a decade at this point. That's even worse than the Jaguars.

I'll take the Jaguars for Thursday. Also, given what they've done so far, the Cowboy's ceiling is losing to the Buccaneers in the playoffs.

Gonna be fair, when it comes to picking Imgur-friendly posts for an NFL meme the internet does not give nearly enough recent memes. This one is still funny though.

Many condolences to his family. I had the honor of watching him play many a game. and get my goat (Colt). He was a total stud. The Immaculate Reception (1972 Playoffs vs Oakland Raiders at Pittsburgh) came rather early in his career and propelled the Steelers to 4 SB Championships over the rest of the 1970s. Franco Harris was only 72, for me he was a contemporary. RIP Steeler RB #32.

The Immaculate Reception, one of those plays, when you remember it, that just is enshrined way above as one of the standards for what the NFL should be. Franco Harris was a well-loved player and a legend. May he Rest In Peace.

And right before Christmas too, what a shame.
