It’s time for another edition of the Weekly WTF Moments in the NFL, so let’s just start with the obvious WTF of the week: we elected a new President!

No matter how you voted, the tide is changing in politics when a non-politico can now be voted in the highest office. Now in saying that, notice how there are now protesters saying #NotMyPresident?

Well the same is happening in the NFL, and it is out in full force.

Eric coined it #NotMyCoach, and there’s the usual #FireTomlin and #FireHaley hashtags too.

WTF people?!

Get a grip. Not everything goes your/our way, whether it’s football, or the super moon.

Steelers lose… again

The Steelers lost their 4th game in a row on Sunday, to the now 8-1 Dallas Cowboys.

The team, coaches, players… you name it… were called out by “armchair QB’s” and so-called fans. I must have read more “Fire Haley” and “Fire Tomlin” tweets than I ever have before.

Why?

This was a hard-fought game against one of the best, if not the best, NFC team right now.

Fire Haley?

WTF?

The offense put up 30 points.

Fire Tomlin?

Again WTF?

I am not saying there isn’t some frustration there, but he has probably the youngest defensive team in his 10 year tenure, more rookies on the field due to injuries, along with a Defensive Coordinator and Special Teams coach trying to piece meal it together.

He definitely needs to bring the team together, but Tomlin isn’t going anywhere. He has won one Super Bowl, and appeared in another in his 9-plus years so far: remember it took Bill Cowher 14 years to finally win a Super Bowl… with an arguably better team (and easier NFL rules).

This is not Cleveland! We have continuity, consistency, and no coaching carousel in Pittsburgh.

So Stop with the “Fire (insert name)” tweets every time there is a loss!

(If we lose to 0-10 Cleveland this weekend, then I’ll apologize and you can complain all you want!)

Punching Bag

I have to give a WTF to the Minnesota Vikings offensive line.

Per Pro Football Focus, they are ranked 31st (out of 32 teams) overall. If you’ve watched any of their games of late, newly acquired QB Sam Bradford is seriously getting killed out there.

The Vikings O-line is a disaster. Bradford is getting sacked an average of 3 times per game, and for an injury prone QB, well, do the math. They better fix this quick or Bradford should be looking for work as a school teacher somewhere.

And TJ Clemmings? WTF?

He has got to be one of the worst tackles in the game.

Move on.

Going for 2

Let’s get back to the Steelers/Cowboys game: going for 2-point conversions.

Wait how many times did the Steelers try it?

Four.

Yep, 4.

How many were successful?

Zero.

WTF?

I love the aggressiveness, but to ask newly-off-the-PUP list TE LaDarius Green, who has not played a live game for a year, to covert the first one was just dumb.

I mean why?

Then in the Patriots/Seattle game the Seahawks scored a touchdown, pulling ahead by 7 points, and decided to go for 2.

And missed.

That left the door open for the Pat’s to tie it up.

Why try it there? Even Bill Belichick on camera was caught saying, no PAT?

WTF?

No Fun League

The NFL’s policy on fun got a bit more fun (not so much) on Sunday with some calls, and non-calls, for TD celebrations.

After Antonio Brown scored, he started his “dance”… and then stopped, mimicking the “mannequin challenge” being done all over the league.

No Flag.

In the Green Bay/Tennessee game, Tajae Sharpe celebrated one of the Tennessee’s many (many) touchdowns, by laying down and going to sleep.

Yep. Flag.

WTF?

Is the 15-yards really worth it? I mean you beat (beat) Green Bay.

Move on.

(At least no ref hugging happened this week.)

Long drive to nowhere

I have to give a huge WTF shoutout to the Carolina Panthers: in the process of blowing a 17-3 halftime lead, the Panthers had a 20-play drive. That drive included four third-down conversions, one 4th down conversion, and one penalty.

What did they do?

PUNT.

Yes, I said PUNT!

WTF?

That offensive line allowing Cam Newton to get sacked, pushing them back to the opponent’s 40-yard line was a fail on their part.

Start doing your laps now.

Top pick for the money

Lastly, it seems that a 9-6 win for the Rams, with QB Case Keenum passing for 175 yards, was good enough for Jeff Fisher to say “No QB change”.

Waiting in the wings is the NFL’s number one overall draft pick.

Really?

At 4-5 they are still alive in the NFC playoff hunt.

So WTF Coach? Are we going to see Jared Goff?

Well, it was announced this morning that Jared Goff will in fact be starting this weekend versus the Miami Dolphins.

Now if only the Texans could take all that money back from QB Brock Osweiler, who threw for 99 yards on 27 attempts.

Yeah he won too; kind of.

I mean it was against the Jaguars… and Blake Bortles is no Ben… I mean Cam… I mean Russell…

Well, lets just say he’s not Tim Tebow.
