    • I edited it to 3 SB's, but its hilarious thst you think that makes what you said any less ridiculous lol his play calling in the 2018 playoffs was one of the worst I’ve seen of any OC or coach in NFL history for any team that won the SB. They scored 41 points in the divisional game and 37 points in the AFCC LOL Seriously, do you ever think before…
