The NFL Thread

While it appears Tom Brady will go down as the Greatest Quarterback on Accolades. I think it's quite clear that Aaron Rodgers is the Most Talented QB that the NFL has Ever Seen.

It's something about Jameis Winston that bothers me. He has Talent but for some reason he can't throw the Deep Ball very well. Even his Throws for 15 - 20 Yard Passes be Scary sometimes.

>:(

The Giants are so bad...it's funny...we might go 0-16...I can actually see it happening...lmao. Team needs a lot of improvements. Time to fire the GM and entire coaching staff..

That Texans team blow out over Titans

Anyone with a solid offense is gonna beat the Pats...Broncos and Steelers can take them out this year.

Ravens are a hot mess!!!!

@lukehero: Broncos and Steelers have had their own issues this year, especially with away games.

@lunacyde: Hey, Broncos get Pats at home this year.

And for the playoffs if the trend continues Pats could make the playoffs, but may have to go on the road, even if they win the div. Unless their defense picks up drastically, I doubt they will be a 1# or even a 2# seed.

That Patriots Defense Is Terrible.

The Buffalo Bills Are Better Than I Thought They Was.

Deshaun Watson Playing Like A Boss On That Titans Defense.

@lukehero: True. If we don't make a major turnaround on defense we aren't going far. This defense is on Pace to break records and I just can't understand it.

Ugh, I hate playing in Denver.

Wow. Perhaps the best move KC has made was drafting Patrick Mahomes. Seems to have lit a fire under Alex Smith’s a$$, and in turn reinvigorated the whole team. Let’s see if they can maintain this momentum as the pressure builds towards seasons end when things start to get close

I think the Buccaneers are gonna shred the Pats defense like paper

@mercy_: Nope, but Bucs could have won if they had a kicker. They need to kick Folk to the curb ASAP.

@lukehero: Could have, but I wouldn't say for sure. He makes those FGs and it changes Bill Belichick's calculus at the end of that game.

@lunacyde: Pats D still gave up a crap load of passing yards over 300 to Winston and they can’t stop good TEs.

@lukehero: Bucs couldn't do hatdly anything to move the ball for 3 quarters and were gifted a few first downs that changed things from Patriots penalties. Without those penalties it's just as likely Winston would have finished under 200 yards with zero TDs. Instead of getting off the field with three and out they got a fresh set of downs and that is when the wheels started coming off for the defense.

Also, because the Pats were already up two scores they played conservative with their play calling and punted in a situation that was a very manageable FG for Gostkowski because another FG wouldn't have benefitted them as much as making the Bucs drive a long field.

@lunacyde: IDK, they get the Jets next week, but after that it's the Falcons which will tell us a lot more. Bills are only ahead by 1 game, but they get Cincinnati this week. So they should stay ahead. I'm just not fully confident in the Pats as a team. They still allowed Brady to get hit during that game and he even got sacked/fumbled. He's having to hold the ball longer in the offense they ran last night it seems.

@lunacyde:

I believe Carson Palmer and Brady have been sacked the most this season.

@lukehero: Oh yeah, they need to fix a lot of problems if they're hoping to make the playoffs this year.

• I was more concerned with Brady's protection during that game than anything the defense had going on
• Still eyerolling the offensive pass interference against Amendola
• The Buccaneers lost the game because their kicker couldn't relatively short field goals and that's a yikes
• I'm glad we have a long week, hopefully Gronk can heal some more and be up to par

Also gifted with an interception and that sack/fumble and didn't score on either turnover.

I know Brady's like an abnormal superhuman health food freak but he's 40 and this amount of sacks is concerning me because sooner or later it's going to result in injury.

They have to go back to the short dinks and dunks and stop looking for big plays down field.

My Bucs are doing a.ok so far, after that game with the Pats.

Go.Eagles.

Kansas City is playing like they're the best team in football.

Had a really great game today. Green Bay made an excellent comeback against the Cowboys!!! Nice touchdown in the end!!! GO PACKERS!!!

Feel bad for Odell. Terrible injury.

There's a strong possibility the Giants will be in contention for the #1 pick. They have to be thinking about Eli's replacement (presumably Sam Darnold).

My Giants we suck so bad...I hope we yank the rest of the season at least we can get the 1 or 2 overall pick...there’s nothing to play for...

So, Jerry Jones said they will bench anyone disrespecting the flag...

This could go 1 of 3 ways.

1. Nobody takes a knee and things move on.

2. So many people take a knee he has to decide on losing a game or keeping his word.

3. It is a hollow threat and does not bench anyone when like 5 of his players do it.

@misterwhisper: It’s a hollow threat...two of his players already did the black power Fist...he’s not gonna do squat that risks losing games. Sure if some slub does it he may “not allow them to play” wink wink they were a 3rd stringer anyway. But, if starters do it what’s he gonna do? Lose games? If I were a starter I would do it just to annoy him now...

@lukehero: well that might work for a while but you could end up like Kaepernick next season and be looking for a job

On the plus side of things the more the Giants lose the happier I am so I'm having a great season so far

I can't believe how bad NE defense is...honestley.

Looks like Aaron Rodgers might be out for the year. Bad year for injuries...

We are so f*cked dude. We have no CB's. our o-line is in shambles. And Rodgers is gone.

Another ugly win for the Patriots...

Still not sure why we got the ball back on this TD/Fumble...

Deshaun Watson is still playing Great.

Pats are playing like they are on dope and they are still cleaning up!

Watson on fire how bout them Texans I see them in the wildcard

The Packers are done for the year.

Jets were robbed, lolz.

I'd be bitter as hell about that call if I were a Jets fan. Made no sense.

Patriots are the number one seed yess!!

I would like to see Brady get that sixth ring, but I want to see some new blood in the Super Bowl. Preferably Minnesota or Jacksonville.

Kansas City Chiefs Are Cursed. The Titans Came Back Like Cockroaches In An Apartment On Their Ass In The Second Half.

Atlanta Falcons Are On A Roll.

People are always doubting the titans and we still win. LOL.

Out of all the QB performances yesterday, I think Mariota takes the cake. He may not have the numbers in comparison to Brees, Matty Ice and Cam but that was some “I will not lose” play making grit to get his team the W in those conditions. I did not see that coming from him.

I naturally worry about my Vikings but have been pleasantly surprised by this season.

I'm fine with the Saints but cannot stand Saints fans. I hope we beat the wheels off them and their stupid gold uniforms.

@sawed_off_it: Vikings will get rekt by Who Dat. ;P

@marvelous-croft: I highly doubt that.

You guys went 3-3 to finish the season and lost to TB with seeding on the line. You guys are good but my "hope" is more me being modest.

I fully expect to trample the Aints on Sunday.

@sawed_off_it: I wasn't totally serious with that, tbh. I'm hoping it's a great game. xP

Yeah, I don't see that happening. This is a QB league, and I don't trust Case at all. The only way I see Minnesota winning is if their defense have a dominant game.
