The 2016/2017 NFL thread v.... Brady's Revenge

You guys may have had the Eagles win after I saw Eli throw the ball when they should be running the clock out at 2:00. Sure enough intercepted. I thought for sure the Eagles would have finished it. Someone really ought to show the Giants how to really run a clock out wisely. NFC East has an interesting year this year.
 
Yeah I didn't get the score right, any given Sunday shit

I feel like everything I said about the eagles was reasonably accurate though. Giants were put in really good spots to score their first 14 points

Get shot every day B I'll be ight
 
Alright the Packs at .500 and certainly still kicking and alive. We really need to come up with answers here.

Answers that get our receivers open more often.

We also have a major bipolar team chemistry condition that needs to be addressed. Someone needs to step up and get these boys to gell, ignite and finally stay blazing.

I wonder how much of Aarons heads has been on the field this year.. I'm thinking quite a bit less than other seasons. Might have a The Natural scenario going down. If this is the case I hope Hobbs gets his head back in the helmet. Plenty of time for all that stuff durning the off season.. Its a long off season especially if we miss the playoffs.

great team win by the raiders - offense was cooking and the defense looked solid. 7-2 atop the afc west.

dwe, sure your team is starting to find wins but you're still in the basement at 4-5. you have to play oakland and kc in 2 of the last 3 weeks of the season. we'll see if your team is a legit contender then.

i'm starting to think you're right about the afc west being the toughest :)

i wouldn't describe @houston and @carolina as 'easy' but those are two games you should win.

Every Lions game so far this season has been decided by 7 points or less. Would be nice if more of them were wins, but they are the first team to ever have a point spread that low in each of the first 9 games.
 
Afcw is the hardest for sure... I really hope we go 10-6 but I don't see that happening and I don't think 9-7 is good enough for wildcard


First 5 games combined chargers lost by a combined 14 points or some bs

99million and one to lose how we did
 
rams have 4 wins

two of them they didn't even score a TD

it's possible, i guess

i'm hearing legit whisperings of goff starting next week 8)

daaaaamn. was enjoying that game and wanted to see overtime, plus wanted seahawks to lose because playoff seeding
Click to expand...

me too man i really wanted rams to win the divison at 9-7 as seattle went 8-7-1

so let's predict what the 6 seed and worst record a divisional champion has

NFC
1 seed dallas 13-3
2 seed seattle 10-5-1
3 seed atlanta 10-6
4 seed - detroit 10-6
5 seed NYG 10-6 or washington 9-5-1
6 seed - los angeles 10-6 (wins: mia, NO, ATL sea/NE, az, SF...loss: @new england or @ seattle
just outside: vikings 9-7, packers 9-7, eagles 9-7, arizona 9-6-1, washington 9-5-1/NYG 9-7, tampa 8-8

AFC
1 seed oakland 12-4
2 seed new england 11-5
3 seed tennessee 9-7
4 seed- pittsburgh 9-7
5 seed denver 11-5
6 seed - kansas city 10-6
just misses houston 9-7, bengals 9-6-1, buffalo 9-7, miami 8-8, colts 8-8

week 17 is going to be exciting
if you don't understand why denver is a 5 seed behind tn/pitt despite having a better record then you're a fucking idiot
 
also besides your favorite team who are you rooting for that are looking like contenders?

titans, raiders and lions

or if your team make a coaching change who do you want?
current HCs:
mike tomlin think steelers would have to finish below .500 and miss playoffs..would be my first choice, love the guy
john harbaugh think ravens would have to finish 6-10
mike mccarthy think packers would have to finish 6-10, rams can use an offensive minded HC for first time since mike martz
marvin lewis i believe is longest tenured coach in NFL besides hood champ in NE...i think bengals would have to miss playoffs or get blown out/melt down in first round for at least the 5th straight season)

currents coordinators:
greg williams(already rams DC, is only reason they're not 2-7...if fisher goes williams will land a HC job somewhere...if he wants it...he's failed twice already and has done wonders as DC...was there in NO when they shut down peyton
jim schwartz currently eagle's DC, has HC experience with DET
kyle shannahan currently falcons OC, was OC in washington for RG3 rookie season, no HC experience which is a turn off
todd haley currently steelers OC, has HC experience with KC
pat shurmur currently OC with vikings, was OC with STL coached sam bradford to ROY, has head coaching experience with CLE
terry robiskie currently titans OC

rams being in LA makes it a much sexier option(new stadium, large market, young talent, can get PAID, go against a declining NFC west, etc) than when they were in the garbage town with an arch

I would love to replace Rex with Tomlin -- don't think he's going anywhere this year. Harbaugh would also be nice. Not a huge Marvin Lewis fan - I like the guy, just don't see him getting it done - maybe it's the team though....

I also think it's too early to replace Rex - can't keep the carousal spinning on coaches --

Gregg Williams (with 2 g's for some fucking reason) is a great DC and a shit HC - from my experience.
Schwartz can be a serviceable HC for some team - but I don't want him as my coach
Kyle Shanahan - I'd give him a shot, sometimes that's all it takes --- All of the best HC started with no experience - plus he grew up under one of the best to do it.
Haley - can be good HC
Shurmur - Have heard good things but haven't paid much attention to him.
 
CR is it even mathematically possible for all of those teams to finish with those records?

I want the Vikings to lose as many games as possible
 
You got a lot of teams just above .500

who the fuck is gonna lose in your league
 
So, the Dolphins aren't Dolphining another season away after all this year. Not anywhere near thinking playoffs yet, but barring another late season collapse it appears we finally have some competency in the coaching and talent development departments, and therefore an actual reason to be optimistic about the future of this franchise.

IMO, the Dolphins are a below average team in terms of raw talent on our roster, or if not low on talent then certainly a team with some gaping holes in areas like our secondary and linebacking corp, and meanwhile we are over performing. Highlights the importance of coaching in a league with as much parity as the NFL. On the other side of the spectrum, we have all seen our share of teams loaded with talent that failed miserably due to managerial incompetence by the head coach or failures to modernize or adapt by coordinators. Look at about half the teams that lose the Superbowl and their losing records the next year.

Wish I could speak more about other teams, but honestly, I lack the ability to sit still for 3 1/2 hours more than once every Saturday and Sunday. I don't understand how people can spend 9+ hours a day just sitting on the couch and watching football all day, as much as I love the sport. At some point I have to pick up a book or play a video game, or something.

I've also stopped watching all sports analysis and prognostication entertainment, as I'm tired of having the people on my television shout their unqualification and guesswork at me, hearing cheesy pop-culture references interspersed with highlights, and having faux scandal after faux scandal shoved down my throat by a bunch of hacks who think they understand social issues.
