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

tony romo has a better completion percentage than rivers right now. fact.
matt ryan has more passing yards than rivers right now. fact.
kirk cousins has more yards per game than rivers right now. fact.
mohamed sanu (wr) has more yards per attempt than rivers right now. fact.
bryan hoyer has fewer interceptions than rivers right now. fact.
ryan fitzpatrick has fewer fumbles than rivers right now. fact.

does that mean that romo, ryan, cousins, sanu, hoyer and fitzpatrick are better quarterbacks than rivers? of course not.

your approach to football discussion is completely moronic, dwe.

Sanu made one of the nicest catches ive seen this year and it was on 3rd down. Just like that Williams catch for Dallas against Seattle and the Maclin catch against the Niners

getting a crucial first down when your team is on 3rd or even better. 4th down has gotta be the best feeling.

youd think a touchdown would be, but if you know you got 1 or 2 more cracks at scoring one, it probably wouldnt sting too bad to mess up.

id want to do that at least once in my life if I was an NFL player. make a sick grab and just get up and emphatically make the first down signal with my hand.

greatest one I ever saw was Freddy Mitchell on 4th & 26 in the divisional game between the Eagles and the Packers. one of the best games period. Pretty much the highlight of Fred-X's career but damn was that clutch.

4th down after mcnabb jjst got sacked, like a minute or two to go, down by 3, top seed in the playoffs, Brett Favre the old gunslinger on the other side

and fucking Freddy Mitchell steals the show

what

The Chargers are toast tonight. Sports media and the NFL will puff it up as the battle of the century for ratings, but Vegas always knows what the real deal is. SD are 8.5 point underdogs LOL.
 
dwe, you're broke so here is your chance to make guaranteed money. just stick everything you own - i'm guessing that's about $250 :) - on the chargers. if everything you're telling us is true, you can not lose!

hell, take the money line ($+370) and you can turn your $250 into over $900...

do it.

you talking about that ESPN article? they had a hypothetical trade for LeSean McCoy, Brandon Graham, and a 2nd and 5th rounder to Oakland for the first round pick (safe to say it's gonna be #1 overall I think) next year and everyone on the radio is like

YEAH, I'd do it in a heartbeat

and Im on the complete opposite side of the fence

for who, for what? Marcus Mariota? Am I the only one who just doesn't really see it with this guy?

yeah, he puts up numbers in college on an offense-oriented team and is a good fit for Chip Kelly who recruited him and really likes him but he had a major injury already iirc, plays in a mediocre conference, and hasn't done anything to make you say:

yeah, he's worth giving up one of the best running backs in the league and two important picks.

especially if Jameis Winston is slipping in draft stock. I dont care if he is a petty thief, steal me some QB rushing yards. He's not exactly "mobile", but neither is Nick Foles.

let the O line come back, and then give LeSean some more games before you fucking dump him for a mystery box. people give up on running backs so easily these days, unbelievable.

and why the fuck would Oakland do that trade? You dont TAKE ON running backs, you try to find one under the radar. LeSean himself was a mid 2nd round pick. Arian Foster went undrafted. do some fucking scouting. oh yeah it's Oakland, they cant getr shit right except their uniforms.

not gonna happen IMO, neither will the tom Brady thing. You dont blow a team up when you have a legitiamate shot to go deep in the playoffs

I dont care if Jesus Christ himself was coming out to the draft next year

and how do you give up on Foles so fast?

buncha bandwagoners around here I swear

Honestly the fact they are 8.5 point underdogs makes me think the game is going to be even closer that I thought, and it wouldn't surprise me at all of San Diego won. This feels like a trap. Phillip Rivers always plays good against the Manning brothers, and always seems to have a great game when he goes up against Denver.

I don't think Denver is going to cover that spread.. we'll see though

If I bet money on NFL, I would put money down on that spread right now (+8.5) for San Diego

The chargers play hard in denver, there is no question about that. I think rivers is 4-1 there? I could be wrong.

And preferably i would like a close game, makes it more fun to watch.

Plus i lost an avi bet to dwe last year, so it would be nice to see him rock a broncos avatar.

I think the McCoy trade would make some sense for the eagles after the season is over. There's no reason we have to use it on a qb. We could go after a game changing no.1 corner or other position of need. Or we could trade the likely 1 overal pick for more picks that we could use to shore up our defense or other needs. Personally I think nick Foles is our guy for the foreseeable future.
 
That interception that just happened, at 13:35 of the 3rd quarter, is when the game will go from a contest to an ass-whooping. Mark my words.
 
^ incorrect. the chargers are "playing tough".

too bad i just traded away emmanuel sanders...

and too bad, because fred jackson got hurt, i had to start branden oliver against the impressive denver defense. i think he has about 6 inches rushing in this game...

alasdair
 
I'd have to say that, overall, Denver probably has the best team in the league. There isn't really any other franchise that can boast that solid of a defense while having such a potent offense. With the way the NFL works that certainly doesn't mean they'll win the bowl or even make it there, but there's no doubt they're the best overall unit in the sport.
 
You obviously know a ton about football and you've emphatically stated several times, and with authority, that the Chargers are the best so I have no choice other than to believe you.
