the 2014/2015 nfl thread v. R U RDY 4 SUM FOOTBAW?

[GenericMind]

As an aside, it's getting to the point of being pathetic that PI is becoming such an important part of the game that QBs under heavy pressure are just chucking it up when they're near the endzone knowing that there's a 50% chance they'll draw a defensive PI call.

You gotta figure, if you toss it up to a back section of the endzone haphazardly there's a 50/50 chance your WR will beat the CB for the catch, and there's also a 50/50 chance you're going to draw that flag and automatic first down. I just saw Rivers throw it out there lliterally having no idea who's hands the ball would end up in.

 

[alasdairm]

i agree. there's a real sense that some players are (primarily) playing for the penalty which is pretty lame.

It's seriously handicapped a lot of CBs too. Half of the really good CBs in the league were good because they were physical. They're all too afraid to make any contact now for fear of a penalty and it's made them ineffective. Stephon Gilmore of the Bills has been suffering from it. I've seen Revis get thrown on WAY more than usual this season for the same reason.

I realize higher scores = more exciting games = higher ratings but man, let the players play.

 

[alasdairm]

they just described peyton manning as "probably the greatest quarterback in football history".

they meant rivers, right?

easy mistake to make.

[alasdairm]

if the spread on this game was chargers +22, they're still in it, right?

[GenericMind]

chargers to the bowl imvho

 

[cj]

The chargers are pretty good they are gonna make the playoffs and will be a tough out. But The AFC really sucks this year. the broncos should be a lock for the SB if they stay healthy.

 

[neversickanymore]

I napped through the whole game

 

[DrinksWithEvil]

Good gamee would of been a different game if the refs weren't all over the broncos dixk and overturned that crucial fumble and overlooked tons of pi oh well oh and the bs holding call to overturn weddles interception cmon man


Rivers and gates best qb/te duo ever !!!

 

[pharmakos]

[MikeOekiM]

So ready for Cincy tomorrow, starting to hit our stride now and it looks like Cincy have played their best football of the season...

hitting your stride = playing panthers, bucs, and falcons

whoever wins NFC South just received a golden ticket

 

[MikeOekiM]

bengals have looked shitty as of late tho no doubt to put it lightly

 

[DrinksWithEvil]

If chargers has our starters it would have been diffrent missing wood head,Matthews, Ingram , hardwick, flowers.

 

[alasdairm]

if i was tom brady i'd have three superbowl rings. but i'm not. so i don't.

you knew you didn't have those guys but still went on and on and on about how the chargers were going to play tough in denver and win and be 7-1.

but your team is 5-3 now and it's time for you to stfu about football for a bit

alasdair

 

[DrinksWithEvil]

We will be the pats for sure

 

[alasdairm]

you were going to beat the chiefs for sure.
then you were going to beat the broncos for sure.

so when you say for sure, it's not very sure.

alasdair

 

[DrinksWithEvil]
