NFL 2016-2017 Thread

Don't know if this is view-able in the USA but apparently the JET's are to blame for all of this.

Super Bowl 53: Stunning Rob Gronkowski catch sets up New England Patriots' touchdown - BBC Sport

 

Man, both D's played lights out. If anything hurt the Rams defense, it was the Rams offense not being able to keep them off the field for any length of time.

Offensive genius McVay, was embarrassed by Belichick's game plan.

I have to assume Gurley was hurt or just plain burnt out from being overused throughout the season, even if he isn't admitting to it.

 

I know. Super McWokez.

 

Fuckers everywhere touting poor man's Wes Welker as a no doubt future Hall of Famer all of a sudden.

Nice little player, but c'mon. Isaac Bruce, Torry Holt and Henry Ellard can't get in, but juiced up Danny Amendola clone is a no doubter???????

 

Super McNoblez
Super McCdoggz

 

Cliff Branch
Harold Jackson
Harold Carmichael
Etc etc etc

If this dude is a hall of famer, so is Wayne Chrebet ... shit, may as well put Brandon Stokely on the ballot

 

BS for Sure.

At NO Time in his Career Has Edelman EVER Been Considered a Top 10 or Top 5 WR. Not to Mention THE Truly Elite at his Position, Top 2-3.

Edelman is tough little guy but he's never beating number 1 corners

 

Big win for AAF, as new football league posts better ratings than Rockets-Thunder

Never, ever underestimate the power of football in America.

The Alliance of American Football, a league most people probably couldn’t name one team from before this week, debuted on Saturday night. Its debut, with two games on CBS, was up against a great NBA matchup between James Harden’s Houston Rockets and Russell Westbrook’s Oklahoma City Thunder on ABC, a fantastic game that ended with a comeback Thunder win. And the AAF posted better television ratings. That’s a heck of a victory for the new football league, which generally played to positive reviews in its opening week. Darren Rovell of the Action Network reported that, according to his sources, the AAF did a 2.1 overnight rating while a marquee NBA matchup between the league’s last two MVPs did 2.0. There are plenty of caveats to a one-night win like that. There was certainly more curiosity about the AAF than a regular-season NBA game. Other startup football leagues like the USFL and XFL did fantastic ratings right away, and then those fizzled quickly. It’s not like the AAF is going to routinely outdraw the NBA. But it’s a clear victory for the new league. Social media reaction to the games — San Diego Fleet vs. San Antonio Commanders, Atlanta Legends vs. Orlando Apollos — was mostly positive. Complaining about anything and everything is the easiest thing to find in 2019, yet a new football league of mostly castoffs was received well.
What does this mean for the AAF? The challenge for the AAF will be to keep the good times rolling. Ratings will be harder when the games are on CBS Sports Network and not CBS in primetime. The novelty is great, but compelling football will be what keeps people engaged long term. But you have to start somewhere, and the start for the AAF is a clear win. It’s more proof that football, no matter what name it is under, rules the American sports landscape.

 

@mikefreemanNFL

 

Neil, what did you think of the new AAF league? And what are your thoughts on the upcoming XFL?

 

I havent watched any of either league's games

 

Holy Jesus, Giants in full tank mode. Let go or traded anybody who was worth a shit on defense, and then trades Beckham which still leaves them with a pile of dead cap money, while still insisting that Eli is the guy. Barkley better be ready to catch about 150 passes out of the backfield next year while taking an absolute beating on his body, because every defense is going to be keyed on him.

 

107 guaranteed for the game manager 65 up front

Highest paid player in league history

 

Nice Job Teflon Russ.

Your Last Contract FRACTURED a Perennial Super Bowl Contender w/1 of THE Best Defenses Ever (as REED Predicted).

This Contract Will Likely Result in Seattle NOT Even Being a Playoff Contender Anymore. But @ Least You Got YOURS, Right!?

Nut Riders Will Claim “Wilson Has No Help”, But if He Didn’t Hold the Team Hostage and Give them Cutoff Dates to Re-Do his Deals, Maybe Seattle Could Actually AFFORD to Add Other Pieces.

Can’t Have it Both Ways.






REED

 

Wilson compromised to stay in Seattle. he could have gotten more/a better deal

This is the going rate for QBs from here on out. Look at what scrubby choker cousins received

 

“Compromise”. You Mean “DEMAND”?

Wilson Gave Seattle a DEADLINE of April 15th to Renegotiate the Team Killing Deal (w/a Year Remaining No Less).

Sounds More Like an ULTIMATUM to REED.

Cousins’ Contract was a Byproduct of Washington Franchising Him Multiple Seasons.




REED

 

Cousins deal was a byproduct of Minnesota being dumbfucks and setting the QB market

Wilson took a deal that was friendly enough to Seattle. Only 4 year extension instead of 6 or 7, no ties to cap increase %

 

Back to Back Franchise Tags Garnered Nearly $20mil for Cousins in 2016 and Nearly $24mil in 2017...

He Made Like $22.5 Last Season, Will Make $27.5 this Coming Season and $29.5 in Year 3 of the Minnesota Deal...





REED

 

wilson is good. cousins sucks. not sure what point youre making here reed.

 

REED Never 1nce Compared Them, YOU Did...

REED was Speaking of Cousin's Contract EXCLUSIVELY, Since You're Obviously Incapable of Speaking Objectively About Russell Wilson...

"Compromised"???...






REED

 

Minnesota should have just kept Bridgewater for cheap and keep all the players they lost because of Cousins

 

yes compromised. wilson was gonna get paid a huge deal becoming the highest paid player in the league regardless. the deal he took was relatively team friendly for seattle because he wanted to stay there.

you seem to be justifying the amount of money scrubby cousins gets paid, reed, yet complaining that wilson makes too much.

 

No, That's How YOUR Russell Wilson SENSITIVE Ass is Taking It...

You DON'T Give a Team a Fucking DEADLINE, w/a Full Year REMAINING On Your Deal, if You're "Compromising"...Your Choice of Words is PISS POOR...

YOU Seem to Be Trying to Portray Wilson as Some Swell Bloke Who Bent Over Backwards for Seattle, When That's NOT The Case Here...THE Reason The Seahawk Dynasty FAILED to Accomplish as Much as it Should've is Russell Wilson's CONTRACT...PERIOD...How Many MORE Former Seahawk Defensive Players Do You Need to Speak Up and VALIDATE This???...

And Now Wilson Gives Seattle an ULTIMATUM???...That Ain't Even Remotely "Compromising" Bruh...

As for Cousins, YOU Spoke as if Minnesota Stepped Offsides 1st...REED Was Merely Pointing Out how Back to Back Franchise Tags INFLATED Cousins' Salary BEYOND What he was Worth, w/a 0% Chance of Him Taking LESS Money to Be a Starter...


"Compromised"....

REED

 

and there you have it!

reed is just upset that the guy he continually referred to as a game manager is now the highest paid player in the history of the NFL !

 

So WHY the DEADLINE Neil???...WHY the ULTIMATUM???...WHY Label it a "Compromise" in the 1st Fucking Place, When Clearly it WASN'T???...

Wilson's 1st Post-Non Rookie Contract Played Out EXACTLY as REED Told Your Ass it Would...

When the Seahawks RB Position Became a Fucking Turnstile and the Defensive Players Got PISSED About Your Hero's Contract, Wilson NEVER GOT Close to Another Super Bowl...AGAIN!...The DEFENSE and BEAST MODE Led Wilson to the 2 Super Bowl's he's Played In...PERIOD...

That's a FACT...

REED Couldn't Care Less About Wilson's Money...It's Not Like REED's Spending Any of It...







REED

 

cloggs newest linebacker in his draft attire. what would jack ham think of this ?

 

Dave Gettleman may have just cemented his legacy as the worst GM and draft talent evaluator in the league since Al Davis.

What's the use in tanking if you're gonna use 3 1st round picks on 2nd and 3rd round talent?

Like most Giant fans, I don't get it.

Only thing I have to hang my hat on, is that the last time Giants fans went this batshit over a draft pick, it ended up being Phil Simms, who in hindsight, arguably might have had the most valuable career out of all the 1st rounders in his draft class (Joe Montana went as the last pick of the 3rd round).

I think we've come a long way in judging college talent since then however, so I have a hard time believing Gettleman is right about Daniel Jones, and the rest of the talent evaluation community is wrong. Even if this guy works out, it was a horrible pick. They could have traded down for more draft capital and easily plucked this guy much further down in the draft. Still can't wrap my head around this guy being picked ahead of Haskins.

 

Jerry Jones Feels BETTER About His GM'ing for Sure, After Last Week's Events...
