wtf is wrong with Dalton tonight... terrible throws

[spurraider21]

Atlanta .... surprisingly San Diego isn't as bad as I thought. truthfully it is a shame that Clipper Nation reps them because I have met several Chargers fans at games in the past and they have been good people.


Emory University’s Sports Marketing Analytics program in Atlanta completed a study to find the most “loyal and supportive” NFL fanbases. Instead of simply finding the team with the most tickets sold, the students factored in team win/loss record, area population, median income, etc. to see which teams’ fans show up no matter what.

This gave them a “Fan Equity” ranking to show which fanbases are the most committed to their teams.

The results were fairly predictable at the top, and then got very surprising.

seriously, crofl at having the raiders last. easily among the most loyal fans of the league. our team has been a joke/floormat for over a decade now and they still have the support of the fanbase, getting all dressed up n for the games. i'd like to see how loyal the post-brady pats fans are, tbh. i've got no problem with coyboys fans up top though. they're always backing their team even when their qb is a serial choke artist

It's crazy bad. It's like he has a case of the yips. He is not even close right now.

[Darth_Pelican]

Ben, calm down, it's the 2 minute warning

[Darth_Pelican]

I just noticed that Avante picked the Bengals... that explains it. Bengals are ed.

[DPG21920]

That wasnt close.

[Raven]

a drop on a 50yard hail mary..

[HarlemHeat37]

Dalton isn't that good, tbh, and Cinci is overrated, I've been saying this since last year..

They should still win this game against a ty Steelers team, though..

[DPG21920]

Agreed, but Dalton is better than he has been tonight. You don't have to be great with Green, just not horrific.

[Raven]

nice drive for cincy here..

[Darth_Pelican]

this game sucks

Everybody in the AFC in overrated outside of Denver, right?

[HarlemHeat37]

Not at all, I haven't said anybody in the AFC is overrated other than Cinci, because some people actually believe they're a contender..

[Chief Brody]

Cotchery could've gained another 7-10 yards if he cut that inside

[Darth_Pelican]

Rapistberger with the game clinching int

[Darth_Pelican]

so Mike Tomlin was 8-8 last season, 0-4 this preseason, and 0-2 this regular season

[Chief Brody]

so Mike Tomlin was 8-8 last season, 0-4 this preseason, and 0-2 this regular season

That resume would buy Marvin Lewis another 5 years

[Raven]

contender may be a stretch, but it would be shameful not to get to the play offs the way they are now imho.

[HarlemHeat37]

Getting into the playoffs in the AFC isn't difficult this year, it's one of the weakest conferences of all-time, tbh..

[Chief Brody]

The AFC West will most likely have 2 playoff teams

[Darth_Pelican]

Steelers trying to piss off the betters right now

[TIMMYtoZO]

The Bengals are going to be one and done if they make the postseason again. Andy Dalton is a piece of . I never understood the love they got this offseason.

[lefty]

Can't wait to see the Eagles hang 45 up on our asses....
