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

yeah i gotta give it to GB last night, they finally broke their slump and played some legit good ball.

but why does Aaron Rodgers lately always have a look in his eyes like he's running on three hours of sleep?
 
Eagles WRs are definitely bottom 3 in the league

Their cornerbacks are an enigma to me tbh.

Jalen Mills is a decent player. Fuck the stat line, he's taken on some of the best receivers in the league as a rookie 7th round draft pick and made some plays. He gives up some plays, but I try to look at what he is capable of doing rather than what the guy he is covering is MORE capable of doing.

Leodis McKelvin doesn't really do anything for me tbh. He's just kind of there. Every once in a while he'll make a tackle and you're like "oh yeah he's on the team that's right" but it's usually when they're already down big. Doesn't get repeadtly killed but doesn't make any big plays either. Again, just kind of there

Nolan Carroll is really not a starting CB in the NFL. I think he tries hard but he's just not. Made some plays in preseason against the offensive Nolan carrolls of the world but now in the games that matters he gets exposed

Malcolm Jenkins is a really good safety. He basically runs around and puts out fires allowed to burn uncontrollably by the previous players mentioned. Solid player

Rodney McCleod is in the same boat. Probably been their best secondary player this year. Can't really describe him in words he's just always around the ball it seems.

Their linebackers are about average overall

Jordan Hicks is a fuckin monster. He's they're best LB by far. Great speed, great tackler, good hands, can cover well enough. Really like him

Kendricks seems different after his injuries. He seemed faster when he first came out to the league but now it's like he's never got a step on anyone. And he's not big enough to be a pure run stopper so Idk what he can really "do" for a team tbh. Maybe he's just having a bad year idk

Bradham is your stereotypical Eagles 3rd wheel linebacker. Pretty sure he was a special teams player who got thrust into the starting job because we spent all our cap money on (no one? Wtf?) I mean, he's not terrible, but he's not great

They're d line hasn't dominated at all this year. They don't get nearly as many sacks as they should. They're great at pressuring the QB, they just never seem to bring them down. Idk, I like the players they have, just not how they're playing right now

All in all the defense gets a B- from me at the moment

Mostly because the offense does them no favors just about every game and they have gone up against some really good teams this year.

If they got more sacks, less penalties, and more turnovers, they'd be one of the best in the league.

I guess you could say that about any defense but you know what I mean. Or maybe you don't idk

B-
 
so i'm pretty damn nervous about the Lions' remaining schedule

@ Saints
Bears
@ Giants
@ Cowboys
Packers

gonna be really disappointed if we manage to bungle our playoff chances.
 
Everyone will be able to guess a lot better once we see how they do against the Saints. We are definitely going to beat the Bears tho, and I think we can manage to pick up at least one more game other than that. Hopefully wins vs. Saints and Packers.

Lots of hope going around that Ameer Abdullah, our RB that injured himself at the very beginning of the season, might be back before playoff time. If we do get him back and he plays like he did before the injury, things will change a lot for the Lions offense. We have basically gone this whole season without a run game.
 
I'd be careful about claiming the bears game already. That rb they handed the reigns over to might just stuff those words back down your throat
 
Fck it's hard for me to hate the Raiders like a Denver fan properly should, because I like Derrick Carr, and idk this raider team just doesn't seem like the Raider teams of old when Al Davis was alive. Definitely looking forward to Thursday though.

I can't believe denver might not even make the playoffs this year! Wtf!
