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

We should start a poll to try and guess which evil ancient deity or lesser demon a 6th round pick with a weak arm sold his soul to for a 15 year run of Hall-of-Fame play and an almost infinite amount of lucky plays and ref calls.
 
yeah the tuck rule thing was such a new englander way of winning a championship

oh 1 call doesnt make a game and everything

uh... yeah it does. if thats a fumble that game is over. and the rams probably would have repeated as SB champs

Nick Foles has a broken collarbone, could miss up to 7 games. Im no mathmetician, but that basically means he'd come back around the playoffs.

Im actually strangely confident in The Sanchize. Mostly because I see this team getting back to what it did best last year, running the football. as the rest of the team gets banged up, the offensive line starters will come back with fresh legs and a lot of motivation to kick ass after being sidelined. McCoy WILL get his yards, talking about trading him to the Raiders GTFO philly fans. you dont know shit

if mccoy was on the raiders this team would be fucking done right now.

So they might not finish as strong as they could have, still, at 6-2, is that really a big deal? I dont think Dallas will finish overly strong either. It will come down to the two head to head matchups most likely, as it usually does (thanksgiving day about 4pm get the tvs ready)

Im more worried about the DeMeco Ryans injury. fuckin casey matthews DAMMIT NOO. good thing Kendricks looks back on his shit

the worst part of this whole thing is, our defense is going to be so questionable, Chip HAS to make adjustments on his play calling. Ive been saying this for way too fucking long now. You dont need to run the no huddle ALL THE TIME. take some time off the clock and just accept the fact you arent scoring on every possession. this isnt college bitch. just run the ball, chill for 25 seconds, run the ball (hey maybe a 1st down?), chill for a bit, crucial third down pass to Maclin (sick hands ftr), rinse and repeat

but instead we get three rushed plays with an incompletion at some point and the punt team (which is really good dont get me wrong) strolls on the field.

such an oddly structured team atm, and in a totally conflicting way with how the coaching philosophy works.

Chip wants a dual threat QB who will make plays when given the oppurtunity.

Mark Sanchez does neither of those things. quintessential game manager.

now manage the fucking game Chip. stop trying to innovate the wheel when you have a pair of 24 inch rims already between shady mccoy and the o line.

run the ball, shit works itself out

Two years later and I'm glad Mike Wallace is gone. Steelers got a steal with Wheaton in the 4th round and he is playing super good right now. And Antonio Brown....so good, SO GOOD. Oh yeah, welcome back Mr. Harrison, nice game last night.

Man it is weird that the AFC North has all teams over .500 right now (the only NFL division like this currently). WTF Cleveland, who would have guessed that!?!
 
Being a born and raised Clevelander I'm happy obviously. BUT my cavs will have to deliver a title for our city. The Browns are playing good ball. The D is the key to this run.
 
patriots fan here, best team in the world right now (not that it matters in week 9.)

anyone else think that the pass interference/defensive holding has gotten out of hand this year? it's been bad for several years now but every pass play i look for a flag now.
 
Because the NFL movers and shakers know that offense is key to keeping people interested. Who wants to watch a bunch of 9-6 score games every weekend because one team's D is more physical than the other? Then again, the "special emphasis" rules we hear about every year appears to keep favoring the offense and makes it a little unfair.

I feel like there is a balance to be found somewhere in there because otherwise if you don't have a top 5 qb your pretty much fucked. I like the rules that protect the qb and wr from taking crazy hits that change was necessary but they need to let defenders play physical within 10 yards of the line instead of 5.
 
AFCE London games for the 2015 Season just announced-
The Miami Dolphins will host the New York Jets on October 4, 2015
The Jacksonville Jaguars will host the Buffalo Bills on October 25, 2015

I'm psyched. My girl's sister goes to school like an hour outside of London. Definitely going to rep the Bills on 10/25/2014 there. Of course every team in the division EXCEPT the Patriots have to play a game in London in 2015.
 
It's considered a Jaguars home game so nobody probably cares. Miami on the other hand definitely got fucked. It's the first/only division game played in London. Taking away a team's home field advantage in a division game is downright criminal.
