I'm 29 years old. I do not remember a time where Adam Vinatieri wasn't a professional football player.

like tbf kickers and QBs have the ability to last the longest because, like, they don't really have to move. Speed goes down with age a lot faster than strength (and QBs can afford to lose a bit of arm strength if they can make up for it in other ways)

Also not getting beat up literally every play helps.

Or, like, ever, in the case of kickers.

The funnier part in Vinatieri's case was that he was literally 1 kick away from getting cut in 1996 in which case holy fuck does history change.

It's the Browns best start to a season since 2004. Lost in the jokes about the Browns is that arguably they should have won, since the Steelers' first TD by Connor was helped by a bad roughing the passer call on a Miles Garrett sack. I don't think you can read too much into the result as to how good or bad the Steelers or Browns are, though. The weather was a big factor in both offences having issues, and as much as Scot wants to deny it, the Steelers have a clearly established routine over the last few years of playing down to the quality of their opponents. The Browns defence looked pretty good though.

Convenient that you ignore the bad calls against the Steelers (illegal block that should have been a personal foul, obviously ball changing direction off the browns player on that punt return)

Also, if I remember correctly, I said Jacksonville in the playoffs doesn't count as playing down, as they were a good team, and that Baltimore games are almost always close. Of course Steelers play down to lesser competition. Almost always lose at least one game on the road to a lower quality team. Steelering is an actual meme among steeler fans.

But thanks for bringing up my name for no reason. I haven't even posted in this thread since like the draft or something.

Oh yeah, the argument was that they were overlooking the Ravens when they played the Patriots the week after, when Ravens steelers games are almost always tough. I even admitted that they play down to their competition in that very argument. Cool though thanks

I brought it up because we have an ongoing disagreement about this.

I'll happily concede the point about the punt call. I hadn't seen it until you mentioned it, and it was clearly a muffed punt.

Except we don't. I've know for years the steelers play down to their competition. Every Steelers fan is worried about playing a bad team on the road.

You're misremember one argument we had last January about Steelers overlooking opponents when they play the Patriots the following week. I'll concede they probably did it in the playoffs, but that the week following the Ravens game that year doesn't count as Ravens/Steelers games are almost always close.

Ravens are solid.
Of all tyrannies,a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

Ah yes because how the Ravens were in 2012 is relevant to how good they are now.

My favorite part was when Flacco did the Jay Cutler in a Lamar Jackson wild cat gimmick play.

That was the thing that knocked me out of post-break up(?) stupor. I was sitting there, zoning out, drinking my water and letting the world wash over me while lost in thought. I cam back to reality to the sound of my own voice screaming "JAY CUTTY!!!". I was honestly amazed. Very funny seeing a guy who has admitted to slacking off after his big contract and is currently running a "I'm reinvigorated because I don't want to lose my job" reputation fixing campaign go full Cutler.
