You flip a bunch of coins 16 times in a row, and count heads as wins, you'll get some really "good" coins.

Im talking about when I watch the games, the levels of incompetence seem very high. Compared to the days of yore. Maybe I'm just grumpy.

But, I don't feel the same way about the NBA. The level of play in the NBA recently has been outstanding. The rosters are way smaller and the talent pool is way deeper than the NFL, I only bring it up to say I don't think I'm just pining for the olden days.
Well, the stats agree with your eye. We don't have shitloads of mediocre play, we have shitloads of terrible, incompetent play, which could be due to a lack of talent (in the players, the coaches, the owners, the league, or some mix).
I'm not sure how eliminating the salary cap will raise the player talent levels. I'm not even confident that player talent levels are the problem driving the recent incompetency.

Nice TD by the Steelers. They just crossed the point Wilson has never won when the other team scores.

Chancellor was looking for a big hit, not giving deep help there---might cost Seattle the game.

Sherman has been spectacular today---the rest of the secondary, not so much.

I'd agree, it won't raise the talent level. All it will do is raise the price on mediocrity. From an owners perspective, they would never go for that.

Your CBS crew here trying to miracle the Steelers on top of that obstable.

Cuz they know the AFC is weak, and they hate the pats.

Defenseless against Ben here.

I am Pats fan thru and thru, but I love Ben. There is no fucking back down with him.

That should be a catch but who the fuck knows. This is why the micro-interpretation of the rules and instant replay kill the game.

That's a great throw and catch and should stand.
