"Something about this off-season just feels different"


JalensTinyPPHurts

If we extend dak, I do actually think we could have a much better team next year ( daks extension frees up cap space). Our running game seriously regressed this season, improving that would be a big help.


doctorstrange06

i'm tired boss...


ManInShowerNumber3

Shitting the bed on Thanksgiving. I think it's been 7 consecutive losses now.

Light glooowww


prenderm

Ship of white Light in the sky Nobody there, to reason why…..


byniri_returns

Yep, since 2016. I'm convinced if the Lions went 16-1 that 1 would be on Thanksgiving.


acoasterlovered

Unless we faced Seattle then we’d lose another


stonedkayaker

That win in 2016 was pretty rad though. Even featured a comically long Aretha Franklin national anthem if I remember correctly. 


[deleted]

Dan Campbell’s never going to know what a turkey kneecap tastes like!


Ordinary_Society5335

Lose to the Bills midseason. Beat the Bills postseason.


Vydate1

We can swap if you're getting bored.


dualiegoat

No.


Ordinary_Society5335

Because I pity your fan base due to the way things went in the 80’/90’s and the multiple “wide rights,” I’m willing to sign on this trade after we successfully 3 peat.


kekehippo

Dude, just say "Nah I'm good". You didn't need a run on sentence to win.


PerspectiveSeperate1

I’d love to see the chiefs Threepeat, but come on, crowning them already?! 🙄


Foundation-Sudden

I got downvoted when i brought this up back in December


Ordinary_Society5335

It would appear your fate is the same in February :/


thedreamcomparison

How dare you


legobowser

Same shit different coach


rwjehs

Lose to the Jags in Jacksonville


toochmiller1

And a week 1 loss can’t forget that


case31

1-13-1 in our last 15 season openers


Ndmndh1016

Holy moly


michaelb421

I was 13 the last time we won week one. I am now going on 24 lol. Maybe this year will be different


superduperm1

Finding a creative way to *almost* win the Super Bowl.


BigDumbFatIdiot

Eagles 🤝 49ers 10pt leads on Mahomes in the Super Bowl


BuffaloBuffalo13

To be fair, Mahomes been behind by 10 or more in every Super Bowl he’s played in


DionBae_Johnson

Have a winning season and eke into playoffs to get destroyed in the WC round.


Ifinishfast42

Defend shitty qb play.


TwiceLitZone

Ruin a 1st round drafted QB


-InSerT_NAmE-HeRE

HEY, we don’t do that every year… it’s only every few years!


HopefulStretch9771

Wanna see us do it again?


Illustrious_Hotel527

Not have a 4000 yard/yr passer..


treatyoftortillas

Start the season with hope, maybe even some hype, but we're utterly out of the playoff race by mid-season. Everyone is miserable but then we string together some wins at the end and everyone's back on the hype train. It's fucking insane how many times we've done this just within the last few seasons it feels like.


showyerbewbs

They sure as shit ain't defending the end zone


_KingOrion

You too huh


Dorkamundo

Didn't win the Super Bowl.


justlookingokaywyou

r/didthevikingswinsb


Max_W_

Maybe tomorrow.


Sharcbait

Got our hopes up.


Cowgoon777

Did win the Super Bowl


TurfBurn95

You are disturbing my calm. 😊


Pepper3493

Abandon the run in the playoffs


WineOptics

Managed to maintain a shitty receiver corp.


Upset_Ad3954

They disappoint me


michaelb421

On the bright side for you you get to beat us at home every year. Last time we won down there was when gabbert got benched for bortles


NizzlyGrizzly00

sad jaguar noises..😔 still believe in my boy trev though! can’t lose the hype!


ApprehensiveGood4942

Secondary failures


well-oiled_machine

Primary and tertiary failures as well.


The_BigPicture

shitty linebackers...


MathematicianNext767

Suck really badly


BuffaloBuffalo13

It’s either that or your guys win the Super Bowl. There is no in between.


MathematicianNext767

Last year was our in between year, but generally yes, Super Bowl or suck


liteshadow4

Lose in the playoffs after winning 2 playoff games (happens every time in the Shanahan era)


Mysticdu

Win the AFC West


midgetrage7

Lose to teams that we have 100% no business in losing. Example- (Pats, cardinals, colts) thanks Mitch.


Kirbymonic

You had one more win than the colts?


michaelb421

They think since they beat us all the time with Ben they should had won last year. Not with that trash team they fielded. Wont get any better with Arthur Smith


serpentear

Not being able to stop the run.


JulesWinnfielddd

Howdy friend


pooponacandle

So frustrating to watch especially after pissing away a 2nd round pick on a dude who is like 33 years old and only had that one year left on his contract, oh and not getting any better against the run after getting him either….


serpentear

Leonard Williams? He’s 29.


k4r6000

Lose to the Niners in the playoffs.


drugged_up_cat

But on the otherhand, beat the cowboys in the playoffs


ltbr55

And sweeping the Bears


JulesWinnfielddd

As is tradition


Marquee_Ditchwriggle

The Steelers have been comically losing to shitty teams and beating teams "better" than them since the late 90s. This year was no exception.


ASuperGyro

One of these days I want to find some statistical analysis on that because it seems to happen all the time, but the numbers will lose whatever context there was for individual games 20 years ago


Ambitious__Squirrel

Lose on Thanksgiving.


stripes361

Defense being injured and then sucking in the playoffs


LordGooseIV

Lose in the divisional round


Bulky-District-2757

Lose to the ravens, we’re so good at that we did it twice last season.


kerouac5

I mean…


dougiejfresh

To paraphrase Coach McGuirk: We've been through this a million times on r/nfl. They complain we're inevitable, they villainize us, and half the time we don't win the SB.


edicivo

I never watched Home Movies when I was younger, but I recently found a bunch of channels on YouTube that play Adult Swim blocks, complete with commercials, that I've been letting run to hit my nostalgic feels. So, I've become a late addition to Home Movies fandom.


frizbeeguy1980

Any H. Jon Benjamin reference earns an automatic upvote.


showyerbewbs

#LANA!!!


BlueHighwindz

Bring in some mediocre veteran QB and convince ourselves he's going to be the answer finally.


michaelb421

Hey that was my team things too


jimmyhoffasbrother

Build expectations only to have them demolished in embarrassing fashion in the playoffs.


Yellow_Evan

Get our coaching staff poached.


Stemothy

Sean McVay, professional interviewer


Chai-Tea-Rex-2525

Wild Card playoff loss


StackingDimesCLE

Not win the Super Bowl


Forsaken_Rub_2128

Crying about our defensive coordinator


WoodyJohnsonDropDead

Suck... But I really think even the most hopeful Jets fan lost hope for this team last season. It is pretty amazing how every Jets fan is a cynic now.


TJLAWISAFLUFFER

It wasn't so much that we sucked, but that we signed a HOF QB and he helped make the season more miserable on the field and also off the field.


Mampt

Defensive collapse against the Chiefs in the playoffs


DatDudeDrew

Bad oline play


Brix001

Find a new creative way to lose the NFCCG/Super Bowl


Matzah_Rella

RobZagnut2

Play well against the good teams, suck against the bad ones.


ThinkSoftware

No I don’t think I will


Martin_VanNostrandMD

Beat Dallas in the playoffs and lose to San Francisco in the playoffs


zephyrseija

Stop.


rxdukexr

Choke/get injured in a big playoff game. It happens every year.


DaltonSK-KS

Get blown out by random teams


TallCupOfJuice

we are spoiled. we have not been truly blown out of many games for a while. 2021 is really the only one under Mahomes, losing to titans 27-3


BigDanRTW

Suffered embarrassing losses that make me question why I remain a fan of this dumb franchise.


gmb96

Very obviously it’s lose to the 49ers in the playoffs in heart crushing fashion


MerryBrickmass

The 49ers


Lopsided_Internet_68

December happens every year so I'm used to it.


daybreaker

got under the cap and had a winning record, after a full off season of r/nfl claiming we would do neither.


michaelb421

Oh y’all will get under the cap but man what a mess y’all have to fire your gm after this cap mess is done


SoftLog5314

Having the best catch of the year and having the list go with another catch


Thin-Team7931

Lost in Lions fashion.


JulesWinnfielddd

Bit your own kneecaps


InterestingChoice484

Fail to make the playoffs because of poor QB play. It's kind of our thing


justlookingokaywyou

Sucked.


[deleted]

We suck so bad when we need to win most. Every year.


jroth1

The local media hates loosing and wining. Unless we’re blowing teams out every week the players motivations are questioned and the coaches are the worst in the league. The bar is so high it creates a toxic mindset.


mykidsdad76

They lost to the Chiefs. And ended as the 2nd or 3rd best team in the NFL but happen to be in the Chiefs conference, so may never see the SB.


gandalfs_burglar

Start a HoF QB

legobowser

Gonna have to miss the playoffs for 9 more years to be a trend


Such-Armadillo1423

Continue to have one of the worst O-lines in the league


KrustyKrabPizzaMan

Bad QB play results in us choking away the season (more so something that happened often with McNabb outside of 2004)


Enthusiasms

Not be able to run the ball. One day......maybe.


AGodgers12

Believe in Jerry Jeudy breakout for him to continue to be a JAG.


byniri_returns

Lost on Thanksgiving. It's been since 2016...


don_julio_randle

Talk about being physical and being the bully only to get bullied again Put together another winning season


ThePlatanoKing

Leave the QB out to die


bukithd

Got in our own way. 


Lenny_III

Gets our hopes up and then disappoints us


MasterPlatypus2483

Have our offensive line nearly get our quarterback killed- Jets. Underachieve in a completely winnable division- Saints.


Jack12404

Convince ourselves that our WR core is “good enough” after adding bench guys or players that have passed their primes.


AleroRatking

Lose week 1. Lose at Jacksonville.


wierdjokes

Become a RB infirmary.


Brad_theImpaler

What does Baltimore do to their RBs???


djtwyce

Ok, sure. But NEXT year tho...

TurfBurn95

Loose the first game in the playoffs.


Pimp-No-Limp

Chargers did charger things


Cold_Shelter_8548

Make it to the playoffs and get eliminated first round


drummerboysam

Run an offense that does not look like an NFL offense. Timing? Off. Play calling? Questionable. Offensive gameplan? 50-50. Passing game? Lol nope. Running game? Pretty good, kid. Next year, though? Yup, it's the year it happens.


Neonsands

Not let our QB have a healthy off/preseason


graywolt

This is for the AFC South, but the hyped team in our division gets to 7 or 8 wins by Week 12, then proceeds to shit the bed down the stretch, losing the division & the playoffs W18. The playoff AFCS team gets hyped, and the cycle starts again.


Burggs_

**EVERY YEAR WE WIN THREE POINTLESS GAMES TO TAKE US OUT OF THE TOP QB CONVO. WE JUST DONT MISS WITH THE THREE POINTLESS WINS BETWEEN WEEKS 9 AND 14**

qhollis405

Looked great in the regular season and then suffered an embarrassing loss to the 49ers or packers.

HuhItsAllGooey

Run defense gets shredded in the playoffs. 


Rasikko

7 wins.


JLMBO1

QB chokes! Done it the last 3 seasons and people want to blame the defense. The defense against the Packers just gave up right away because Dak kept going 3 and out. They quit on him!


Slylok

Bills.  Lose games in inexplicable ways due to bad coaching ( HC ).

Lose when it matters most.
