Buffalo Bills WR Steve Johnson dropped what would have been the game-winning touchdown against the Pittsburgh Steelers today in overtime -- but it wasn't his fault he choked, it was God's.



The Steelers ended up winning the game 19-16 ... but we think Steve Johnson has bigger problems on his hands.

1. It is worse than I thought

I was going to give him credit because a lot of players point to the sky when they score a touchdown. I was thinking he wwas like the Colts kicker who points to the sky whether he makes a kick or not but this is way different. He is making personal with god. I hope for his sake this is a joke.

2. Good for him.

I liken it to the absurdity of team prayer meetings. I'm an atheist and I find the thought that God cares who wins the football game absurd. When I was in the seminary (and religious obviously), I found it offensive that athletes prayed for personal success.

3. Eli, Eli, lama sabachthani

Saw that happen this afternoon. Such a perfect play otherwise. Felt bad for the guy.

4. Jesus, Stevie, God just having some fun

give Him a break. He can't watch everything you do.
Maybe He thought it was time for you to help yourself.

5. I approve.

God should get called out more often when he screws the pooch. He gets away with murder.:evilgrin:

6. About time someone called God on his bullshit.

7. God replies:

[gratuitous]

8. God was too busy helping the Chiefs

Divine intervention is the only explanation I have for KC being 7-4. As for Mr. Johnson? God (or the QB - what's the difference?) put the ball right in your hands. You expect God to catch it for you, too, you lazy fuck?

11. They lead the league in rushing attempts and rushing yards

They have a QB that averages over 7 YPA. Without looking it up I think they are pretty solid on defense. That is a recipe for success.

Here is an article of their coach, who was the offensive coordinator during the Cardinals Super Bowl run.

The numbers back up Haley’s unorthodox calls

It’s a question of common sense and convention, bravery or foolishness. Todd Haley is the Chiefs’ second-year coach, and he’s not afraid to risk his team’s short-term fortunes and long-term future.

Open a game with an onside kick? No problem. Pass up an easy field goal to try for a fourth-down conversion? Bring it on. Haley might not be timid, but one question has grown louder this season: Does he lack the restraint to hold off on impulse and make the decisions that have worked in the NFL for decades?

“As we used to joke in my family,” Haley said this week, “there were box people — we had box people in our family, those were people that were within the box — and we had outside-the-box-people.”

Haley might be unconventional, but he might also not be as reckless as it seems. The Chiefs have attempted nine fourth-down conversions, and four have failed. But a growing culture of coaches and football people now believe that punting on fourth down, in some or even most situations, is a waste; that probabilities prove teams have a higher chance of converting risky plays than most coaches, players and fans are comfortable with.

9. If God gets all the glory then he should also get all the shame. n/t

10. God obviously had the Steelers for his Fantasy Football picks.

12. Hey Stevie, The Steelers Have The Most Superbowl Wins In NFL History

The Bills lost 4 Superbowls in a row. God hates the Bills and loves the Steelers.

13. God gets so much credit for winning TDs...

...that it's about time She gets blamed for fucking one up.
