Ties in football are a joke
Anyone see the end of the Steelers vs Browns game? Ties are brutal. So glad college got rid of them. Mike Tomlin is the most overrated coach in the league. Browns will turn to Baker soon and Bell was basically shown that they don’t need him, as his replacement played great. Watching Cleveland’s fans was hilarious, they actually thought they could win. Tomlin reminds me of Hoke, but with a beard and a scowl. Why doesn’t the NFL do something right and get rid of ties?

Hawt takes alive!
September 9th, 2018 at 5:18 PM ^
I agree that ties suck but that was one hell of a paragraph.
September 9th, 2018 at 5:18 PM ^
Agree. A winner needs to be decided!
September 9th, 2018 at 6:21 PM ^
Yeah, but with the current staffing of the NFL's executive offices, the decision would be via a game of Canasta or something, not anything to do with football itself...
September 9th, 2018 at 5:18 PM ^
If the Lions got a chance at Tomlin I'd take it in a hot second.
September 9th, 2018 at 5:22 PM ^
A tie was a perfect ending for that game.
September 9th, 2018 at 6:10 PM ^
I think assigning a loss to both teams would have been the correct ending.
September 9th, 2018 at 8:46 PM ^
And...….
You're both right????
September 9th, 2018 at 5:25 PM ^
The best part was the Browns needing like 10 yards for a FG in regulation and with 30 seconds left in the game the Browns QB throws an interception.
September 9th, 2018 at 5:30 PM ^
Only thing worse than a tie is one with a sweater vest.... glad he’s gone.
September 9th, 2018 at 5:36 PM ^
Sometimes a game deserves a tie. It should be rare, and definitely after playing OT first, but it should be a possibility for regular-season games. In college, do it after 3 OTs.
September 9th, 2018 at 5:56 PM ^
I always thought the possibility of a tie adds some intrigue. Will a coach go for the win or play for a tie.
Slight tweak - I'd suggest it ends after two OTs. That way both teams have equal opportunity going first/second.
September 9th, 2018 at 6:15 PM ^
Yeah, that’d make sense.
September 9th, 2018 at 6:41 PM ^
Sometime you win. Sometimes you lose. Sometimes, just like in life, there is no winner or loser. This idea that there MUST be a winner no matter what is the actual joke.
September 9th, 2018 at 6:46 PM ^
Yea it's not life though, it's a foocking game
September 9th, 2018 at 7:36 PM ^
So in a fooking game, play until someone wins? No matter what? Change the rules completely to decide a winner? How about play 50 minutes of football, then if it's tied decide the winner of the game by spelling bee?
September 9th, 2018 at 10:00 PM ^
Aside from the spelling bee part, that's exactly what they did in college football in the 90s...
September 9th, 2018 at 5:37 PM ^
Neither team deserved to win that game. It was a perfectly just outcome.
September 9th, 2018 at 5:39 PM ^
Mike Tomlin is a great coach.
That tie was the result of two teams playing like shit. Steelers turned the ball over 25 times and the Browns still couldn't win.
September 9th, 2018 at 5:40 PM ^
Shitty post is shitty and the OP should feel double shitty because of shitty post and no "OT" heading.
September 9th, 2018 at 5:43 PM ^
116 - 60 and a Superbowl. I'm not sure of what your definition of overrated is. Especially in the Patriots era. That's a pretty damn good career.
September 9th, 2018 at 5:44 PM ^
My biggest question is when is your boy Jabrill Peppers going to make an impact? He never did anything to speak of up North to get all the attention he got, he's just another football player. He had 20 yards of clearance to return that punt, and he fare caught it. Denzel Ward has done more in 1 game than he has done in 17 games. And I'm a Browns fan, I grew up watching Kosar and company. It's been very challenging watching them the last 20 years.
September 9th, 2018 at 5:47 PM ^
Maybe take off your Buckeye glasses and look at his stat line. Fumble recovery and 7 tackles. I'd take it
September 9th, 2018 at 6:57 PM ^
Anybody can pick up a fumble recovery, and furthermore watch the damn replay, when Jabrill picked it up, he couldn't believe it, he damn near fell down. I don't give 2 shits where they play their college football at, just produce for the Browns.
September 9th, 2018 at 7:35 PM ^
Just a wild guess but I’d wager that Jabrill screwed your wife and you can’t get over it.
September 9th, 2018 at 8:56 PM ^
Not hardly idiot.
September 10th, 2018 at 9:36 AM ^
Delonte West fucked his mom
September 10th, 2018 at 9:41 AM ^
No not mine, but probably yours.
September 10th, 2018 at 10:15 AM ^
+1 witty and acerbic. also very original. well done.
September 9th, 2018 at 6:03 PM ^
Go stick your head in a cooler.
September 9th, 2018 at 6:04 PM ^
Oh look, another hillbilly buckeye troll.
September 9th, 2018 at 6:12 PM ^
Never didn't anything? Username checks out.
September 9th, 2018 at 6:15 PM ^
Yeah, he only returned a fumble to the 1 yard line to set up the Browns' second touchdown. Also, it's a "fair" catch, smart guy.
September 9th, 2018 at 7:00 PM ^
Jabrill is overrated, J.T. Barrett made him look like a fool in 2015. Do you guys remember that ass beating?
September 9th, 2018 at 7:32 PM ^
Are you really an uneducated redneck or do you just play one on this board?
September 9th, 2018 at 8:13 PM ^
Wyandot, I remember. If fact I made one of those embarrassing moments my profile pic on this website.
September 9th, 2018 at 8:57 PM ^
Wasn't that great? Jabrill sucks!
September 9th, 2018 at 6:35 PM ^
My biggest question is why are you here? You need to be spending time working on your complete lack of moral and ethical compass.
September 9th, 2018 at 7:01 PM ^
Just to piss you morons off!
September 9th, 2018 at 7:08 PM ^
How does it feel that we own the all time series lead against you guys even after we have had our worst 15 year stretch ever against you guys? I mean, I guess you’re accepting of being owned.
September 9th, 2018 at 8:10 PM ^
This is by far the most delusional fanbase of all damn time. Who gives 2 shits what happened many moons ago. Is that all you guys can talk about, what happened in the early 1900's? What the hell has scUM done lately, nothing, absolutely nothing. 11 National Championship's, with the last one coming in 97, before that it was what the 30's, that's laughable. Ohio St. fired your last 3 coaches, now were working on your golden boy. Lloyd, Rich Rod, Brady, the fatass who called us Ohio, who by the way sucked at coaching. F scUM and their delusional fanbase, come November there's going to be a major league ass beating. Oh by the way, that all time series lead is getting closer, then what are you going to talk about? You guys aren't shit in football anymore.
September 9th, 2018 at 8:18 PM ^
Awwww, Struck a chord huh? Hahahahaha. You are salty bro. Don’t be selective on your history you Chach.... if past is past then it’s 0-0. You can’t pick and choose what years to count little bro.
September 9th, 2018 at 8:54 PM ^
I have one question for you guys, you won national championship's in 1901, 1902, 1903 and 1904, who the hell did you beat? And furthermore who even said you guys were national champions in those early years? Those records that most scUM fans brag about is just laughable. And by the way Bo has o national championships.
September 9th, 2018 at 9:13 PM ^
Lol completely tried to skirt the facts I presented. You will always be behind us. I could say more, but I’m trying hard not to be mean. Have a good night.
September 10th, 2018 at 9:52 AM ^
Only a delusional ichigan fan would think Ohio St. is still behind scUM. The facts are when you guys were co national champions in 1997 that was your 1st national championship in 50 years. That's the facts. And the best coach scUM has ever had has o national championships. Back in 1901-1904 who did you beat to win those claimed national championships? 11 time national champions, my ass.
September 10th, 2018 at 2:52 AM ^
“who the hell did you beat?” should have been “whom the hell did you beat?”
September 9th, 2018 at 7:21 PM ^
so little joy in your life. sad.
hey, how about we have a spelling bee?
September 9th, 2018 at 7:42 PM ^
Very few people are pissed off by your trolling. Most just think it’s dumb and a waste of your time.
September 9th, 2018 at 8:13 PM ^
Yes they are, I can tell by their response. Just ignore me, but you guys can't.
September 10th, 2018 at 2:59 AM ^
The mods should get rid of this obvious troll!
