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

axl avatar bet
it's last minute but if ur there?
I'm down for it so if you see this b4 kickoff just say so and see if you'll be wearing green for a week:D
 
U guys see how much the line moved on the phi/det game? From det -2.5 to Phi -3.5. No significant injuries I don't think, so why the big swing? Why was det favored to begin with? I don't get it.
 
that is a crazy line move. usually otherwise inexplicable moves are due to the action being lopsided but not by 5 points unless we're talking about some really unusual activity but of course the first rule of sports betting is that the bookies generally speaking know more than you do; although this is a particularly wild ride and not one I really was paying mind to. some useful info here and apparently it actually opened as a PK but just became a tug of war; Philly has been hot but so has Stafford former could explain a lot of bets going that way and the books trying to cover but who really knows? makes that an interesting game to watch if I were to bet it I'd still favor Detroit might even a small money line bet because fundamentally I like a contrarian bet and a big ass move is often bookies trying to cover their asses but the movements a bit wild for me especially for a game I haven't really put a lot of mind to
 
took me for a ride for sure. I did wind up putting money line bet on DET at +165 last night with BL fake $ and this morning more modestly at the actual book, all strictly because of the line changes which actually wound up tallied up to be the exact scoring differential (1); rule one — the bookies know what they're doing. I am not claiming I have some secret sauce method, far from it, this was strictly tea leaf reading and riding on the seat of my ass but feels good mqn.
 
i was not able to watch raiders game as we were driving back from a camping trip but i listened to it and it was a pretty exciting game.

raiders are all fluff. they aren't going to win the afc w. nice job taking one loss out of context. enjoy it while it lasts.

nice win against the browns. brady is on fire and boy does he look pissed.
 
i don't think the raiders are fluff. i think carr is the real deal and they have some great receiving. the defense is not great - definitely need to improve against the pass. only the ground game is a concern but i think they can hold it together.

the chargers? hardly out of context. they've thrown away pretty much every game this season.

pats looked good. bills are getting in gear too - nice road win against the rams.

Love seeing the bandwagon panthers fans scatter. Lol. Pathetic. "Keep pounding" throughout the 15-1 season, now first sign of struggle they're no where to be seen.
 
Raiders are legit and will own the AFC West in no-time. their D can't be this bad for so long, hah

and sorry I missed your post, SKL! I have not been BLing on the weekends lately. man, Brandon Marshall was scary and mad-physical all day long, but looks like your team got contained. pretty crazy how good WR Sammie Coates is doing - if he didn't have a case of the dropsies, he woulda had 4 TDs!!

pretty happy with the way things are going with my Steelers ATM

man watching charger games reminds me of watching gopher football '02-'05

they won pretty much every game, yet they found ways to blow it

sry bro, injuries, and spanos and uncertainty about future of organization, joey bosa, tough division, shitty stadium and all that
hang in there

:( if we had Allen and Woodhead things would be much different. But that's part of us being shitty... Injuries. I can't wait to see how we lose on Thursday I'm. Guessong we are up 17-0 in the third and Gordon fumbles once. Punter punts for 10 yards and gates fumbles and splits his acl in half.
 


Pretty touching piece from one legend to another after they retired in the same year.

Calvin's response:

Charles "Peanut" Tillman

I just saw the piece you narrated on us which was awesome. I wish I could come with something just as good but we'll settle for this short letter for now. Peanut, not many people I've played against during my career demanded respect on the field but not thru words or social media. Simply by bringing IT every play, it being a will to win, a want to sacrifice not necessarily life but limb on every play. It being putting the team before self and you 33 exemplified this. You were a hard hat lunch pale toting clock punching kind of guy and I knew with every face off if I didn't come with that same intensity I'd be left coming up short on that terrible Chicago turf. Looking back I cherished our matchups bc like you said it was a heavy weight match each time and trading blows for 60 min wasn't easy nor hardly fun but that's the grind of the game which we love and thirst for. Not only did you put in work between the lines but in the community as well and nothing warms my heart more than to see our professionals giving back to their communities. I wish you and your family the absolute best in retirement and future endeavors my friend. It surely was a pleasure.

Calvin is fucking epic, man. so sad to hear when he retired

maaaan - thinking about that Jets game - how bad was HC Todd Bowles's clock management? dude couldn't Head Coach his way outta a paper bag! I've ranted against HCs and clock management before - maybe it's because I am of the generation that grew up playing Madden - which helped me understand clock management/QB reads/defensive formations... lots of shit, really. but DAMN - that was embarrassing, huh, Jets fans??

the Jest win was HUGE, cuz the Steelers have a historic tendency to play down to lesser opponents. if we take care of biz against Miami, I will be very pleased. I am hoping for Big Ben to get another 4 or 5 TD passes. and DAMN, surely Big Ben is up for MVP contention with all the bombs he be droppin'??

we need to win VS Miami to set up a huge game against the Patriots. last year, we didn't have LeVeon Bell, our starting center, and we had literally the worst kicker I've ever seen kick in the NFL.... aaaand we only lost by one TD. the Pats historically play the Steelers very well VIA Tom Brady dinking & dunking the holy hell outta them, but having LeVeon Bell in is a freakin' game changer (he could be the best offensive threat in the league who IS NOT a QB)

god damn I love football season....

LOL you know I gotta stick by my super headie take that the Raiders are gonna be legit ;) plus I like that Carr kid & always liked Kalil Mack since I saw him in person VS Ohio State ;)

mad respect for the Broncos tho - if they can get Trevor Simian goin' they should be good too. sadly, I think the Chefs' bubble has burst :(

I imagine we will be seein' Denver in the playoffs again - and this time my team won't be decimated from playing the Bengals the week before ;)
 
man Chargers need 2 trade Rivers ASAP... so he can salvage the rest of his career with a contending team. it most obviously is NOT working out there

however my dude Joey Bosa looking BOSS on D so far... o dam wat a talent
 
dew your boys might pull one out tonight. didn't see the atlanta game, was at work...but im feeling like pax wasn't ready and kubes brain clusters prevented him from calling an offense that would actually score points. boy i hate to lose lol. you guys are better than your record. you will surpass the chiefs at some point. reid and smif...nuf said.

the raiders suck...they score points but that d mann... them being first is a technical misrepresentation of who really owns the west.

assl, well see how it pans out, would like to see you guys face the pats before you play us lol. pats AND steelers seems unfair two years in a row.
