That is jawdropping.

Most of the WYTS articles are funny. The Bears one was hilarious.
Roam free, Andrew Luck. Roam free.

"Luck made the truly courageous and correct decision to walk away when he did. This team sucks because the cretin Confederate-wannabe fans are going to turn this into a decade-long screed about “toughness,” like their fat asses could sustain anything close to the physical trauma Ryan Grigson (and by extension Jim Irsay) put him through. Irsay has had lightning strike twice and has largely squandered both. May his cursed guitar collection burn."
"Things you can count on every year as a Cowboys fan
- 500 thinkpieces discussing how “Jason Garrett is actually a great coach.”
- Zeke getting into some kind of trouble that results in at least one meeting with Goodell.
- The team trying to tell its fans they’re going to make an unstoppable weapon out of a Tavon Austin/Lance Dunbar type (this year it will be Tony Pollard).
- The continuation of the DiMaggio-like streak of having a DL suspended for drug use.
- (At best) a loss in the divisional round of the playoffs, likely to Aaron Rodgers.
- Discussions on who the next “triplets” will be, and are they the best Cowboys triplets ever (No).
- Endless praise for Rod Marinelli, who’s never actually achieved anything.
- A terrible nickname for the defense. Last season it was “The Hot Boys.” Kill me.
- One excruciating loss where they snatch defeat from the jaws of victory."
After I read that article, I thought about all of the teams that have won/and or made a Super Bowl since the Cowboys last went. Hell even Tampa Bay and Arizona made appearances, and the Panthers managed to go twice.

Yet there are pundits that peg them to go every single year. I snort.

That Chargers video is extremely well-made from a technical standpoint. I didn't finish it, though, because the entire argument seems to operate under the assumption that special teams shouldn't matter. I'm not some kind of special teams apologist or anything, but it's a lot to assume your audience would generally agree with that to the point they'll sit through an explanation of an entire season's-worth of special teams foibles--all with the implication that it's "lesser" football and the 2010 Chargers were actually "one of the best teams of the superbowl era." Seems to me they were only two-thirds good, and I can only assume those guys are bitter Chargers fans.
Yeah thats true, if they're so good why don't they have rings? Every other team has the same plus or minus of special teams too, so deal with it. If you're missing a full third of your game theres almost no way to win.

I think it's operating under the exact opposite.Quoting Idioteque Stalker (view post)
Hmmm... Not sure I understand. Are you saying they think special teams should matter more than they do?
"Do you realize if we didn’t shit the bed against the Broncos we’d have been the 1 seed in the AFC? Home field throughout the playoffs. A first round bye. A home game against the 6 seed Colts in round two, and then the winner of the round two bloodbath between the Pats and Chiefs coming to our stadium (such that it is) for the AFC championship game.
All these things could have been ours, but no, Rivers decides to throw the ball out of bounds with 1:58 left and the Broncos out of timeouts to avoid a meaningless sack. That saved the Broncos 40 seconds. How many seconds were left when they kicked the game winning field goal you ask? 3. What was going on when there was 40 seconds left in the game? The Broncos were on their own 45 and down by 2.
And that is how you get the five seed with a tie for the best record in the AFC.
Shoot me in the face."
More like don't underestimate ST's role.
I mean, you didn't finish the video so I'm not surprised you don't understand the point.
Yeah while both the guys say the don't like special teams, the point seems to go if you ignore that part of the game it doesn't matter if you have the best offense and defense.
Edit: I watched about 2/3rds of the video.
Then instead of "2010 Chargers -- a modern tragedy," the video should be called something like "2010 Chargers -- never underestimate special teams," and they shouldn't spend the most crucial part of a youtube video (the beginning) talking about how dumb special teams are and how elite the Chargers were in the other two aspects of the game. That's the part where people, like me, are deciding whether or not to watch the entirety of a relatively long video.
They sure as shit could've sped it up. I don't even mean dropping anything, just lets gooooooo with the graphics and pauses and HURRY UP. Its great content but its edited like I'm behind that old fucker going 40 in a 55.
Are you a closeted Chargers fan or something?
Ha no. I guess I get easily annoyed on the subject of "athletic justice." My home town thinks it's a college football town but hasn't been relevant in twenty years. Can't tell you how many passionate pleas I've heard detailing what would've happened if this were that way or if this thing had or hadn't happened. And that video comes off that way to me. I don't mean to shit on it--in many ways it is excellent.
“Offside, defense, number 55. Lined up in the neutral zone. Five yard penalty and we will replay third down.”
"People in NOLA still complain about the time Andrew Jackson came to town and made them stop drinking in the streets. They will continue complain about that missed DPI call until the very last inch of the city is underwater. And then the alligators will continue to complain about it long after humanity is extinct.
We’re one more star-crossed playoff exit away from being the louder, drunker version of the Buffalo Bills."
I mostly skimmed the Chargers one. They deserved to get blown out by the Pats because they moved to LA.
As for the Chiefs, they couldn't beat the Rams in the regular season. I doubt they would have done it in the Super Bowl, but I hate what ifs. On to the next sad playoff failure! Go Chiefs.

The Saints one is hilarious. GUMBO GUMBO GUMBO. Also I hate their chant and I was glad when Alex Smith carved them up in the playoffs Joe Montana style years ago.

PIGSKIN PICK EM MATCH CUT!!!
http://fantasy.espn.com/nfl-pigskin-...groupID=161908
I'm in!
Just picked Davante Adams, Adam Jones, and Aaron Rodgers in fantasy... Those Packers better score!
"The Saints got fucking jobbed and even the zebras had to admit it. A Pats/Saints SB would have ended the careers of FancyDog, Gronk.,and the entire NE dynasty on the spot and in a spectacularly humiliating fashion. Brady had a 72 QB rating and the Pats scored a weak-as-fuck 13 points. Brees would have sent them all home in body bags.
And yet, given that soft offensive effort and seemingly summoning the bloodlust to strangle the life out of Brady, what did the Rams actually do instead? For those of us paying attention, we were rewarded with Goff’s total rectal failure on the Deepwater Horizon scale. He stood there with giant eyes and looked like he was collecting autographs. Could we have rolled out Roman Gabriel and let him itch his nuts in the pocket and still moved the ball better than Football Gollum? You know we could have. Half the Rams offensive plays went for zero yards or less. Don’t worry though, Gurley was absolutely healthy! He torched the Pats for 35 yards!
Fuck Stan Kroenke Vlad the Impaler-style with Hiccup’s Flaming Sword."
