NFL 2016-2017 Thread

The Buffalo Chips couldn't hold a lead with 80 seconds to go and Miami having no time outs. That would have helped the Broncos out. But it's our own fault if we miss the playoffs. Can't rely on other fucked up teams now.

The Panthers were eliminated today even before their game went final. This could be the first year both Superbowl teams don't make it back it back to the playoffs since the Raiders and Bucs 14 years ago.

 

Seattle is Getting PUNKED @ the Crib...Home Fans Boo'ing and Everything...





REED:mut:

 

sux for the raidas

 

Carr suffering a BRUTAL injury all but insured a move to Vegas unless McGloin could Hostetler his way to Super Bowl

 

Donks being embarrassed. Dontari poe just tossed a tim tebow jump pass td

 

And the Dolphins are officially in the playoffs. Been a while since I could say that.

Heaviest Man to THROW a TD Pass, in NFL History...Poe Also RAN for a TD, Earlier this Season...

Could You Imagine a Backfield of Dontari Poe and William "the Refrigerator" Perry???...:dan2:

6'3 1/2, 346lbs...Ran the 40 in 4.98 and has a Vertical of 29 1/2inches...

:wtf1:

Broncos embarrassed themselves again. We don't deserve to be in the playoffs. I guess Stephenson decided that after three false starts, why not throw in an unsportsmanlike conduct penalty on top. Darrien got punked all game and couldn't tackle for shit. I'm not surprised we had another fumble on special teams but I am surprised in wasn't Norwood as usual. And what the fuck was #87 doing on the final play. Escorting Berry down the field. He had a free chance to fuck him up. Felt sorry for him because he has cancer I guess. Horrible, gutless performance.

 

Broncos defense finally got demoralized by their offense. Paxton Lynch better develop quick, or they need to go out and get somebody. I wonder if Elway just decided Siemien was going to be the sacrificial lamb this year because he didn't want Lynch to get hurt behind this offensive line.

 

From the Outside Looking IN, it Appears the Broncos Lacked LEADERSHIP and PRESENCE on the Offensive Side of the Ball...

Say What You Will about Peyton Manning's LACK of Production in his Final Season, but REED Can't See the Defense Straight Up CALLING OUT the Offense, if Peyton was STILL There...Dude Had Probably his WORST Season Ever, Statistically, yet You NEVER Heard the Defense Bitching about the Offense, they Way they've Done THIS Season...

To REED, the Broncos Imploded INTERNALLY, Which Eventually Trickled Down to the On-Field Product...





REED:hammert:

 

Matthew Stafford's a Free Agent and, Uuuum, There MIGHT Be a QB in Dallas Interested in Plying his Trade in Denver...




REED:hammert:

 

How about that 4th quarter then, Baltimore fans :dunno: ::

Yellow and Black Lives matter :nono:

 

Mate, wait till you see Wembley. It's browner than fucking Cleveland.

 

If Detroit and Green Bay tie on Sunday Night both make the playoffs

 

Romo has been relegated to third string, meaning Sanchez is the back-up

 

REED Thinks Romo's EGO is at Work Here...

Dude Hasn't Taken a Meaningful Snap Since Thanksgiving 2015...It BEHOOVES Romo and "America's Team", YOUR Dallas Cowboys, to Get Some FIELD Time Prior to the Playoffs...Final Game of the Season, vs. Philly, is the PERFECT Scenario for Knocking Off Some Rust...

REED Doesn't Think Romo WANTS to Play...Specifically, REED Doesn't Think Romo Wants to Play Clean Up to Dak...If Dak Gets HURT In a Game, Romo Would GLADLY Enter the Game, but he Doesn't Want to Do it This Way...And the Cowboys are Accommodating his SELFISH Wishes...

And Sadly, Jerry Jones is Sooooo Faaaaar Up Romo's Ass, he's Going to End Up CUTTING Romo, as Opposed to TRADING Him, Which Would Be Better for the Team....






REED

 

I don't think they want to risk brittle Romo behind the second string left tackle

 

#90 on Stanford just made himself a helluva Lotta money in the sun bowl today. What a ballgame he played

 

If the bears go qb in the draft I prefer deshaun watson. Though I expect he and trubisky go 1 and 2

 

Congrats to the Bears on "competitive" 3-13 season. :bears:

 

The bears were competitive in some games against playoff teams. They had 19 guys on injured reserve.

The front seven is loaded with young talented players. They have some talent on offense at the skill positions and on the o line. I don't see them as being far away from contending

 

No Offense, But The Bears SUCK, Neil...



REED:mj:

 

so says their record. but if you look at their roster as compared to 2 years ago they actually have some young building blocks on both sides of the ball.

 

2017 NFL Playoff Predictions...

NFC Wildcard

Detroit @ Seattle - Hardest Game of the Weekend to Handicap...Seattle's Defense AIN'T What it Used to Be, and they Often STRUGGLE To Score Points, on the Other Side of the Ball...Meanwhile, Detroit Scores on Everybody and if they Force Seattle to Play from Behind, they'll BEAT the Seahawks...Ultimately, REED Thinks Homefield Advantage will Be Enough, but it WOULDN'T Surprise him @ All if Detroit Pulled Off the Upset, Earning a Date w/"America's Team", YOUR Dallas Cowboys, the Following Weekend...

Seattle BARELY...


New York @ Green Bay - The ONLY Time N.Y. Looks like a True Super Bowl Contender is When they're Playing the Dallas Cowboys...Most Other Weeks, They're Average or Just Above...Their Plus/Minus was Virtually Equal and they Won Like 10 Games by 3 or Fewer Points (Beat Dallas by a TOTAL of 4pts in 2 Games)...Eventually, SKATING as Such Catches Up w/Them...

No Doubt, the Giants are Looking Forward to Seeing Dallas, a Matchup REED Welcomes, Personally, but it Won't Happen...Green Bay's ROLLING, & They'll Beat the Giants @ Home...

Green Bay Wins...



AFC Wild Card...

Oakland @ Houston - Really SUCKS for Oakland that they're Enduring All these QB Injuries, Just as the Playoffs are Beginning...w/a HEALTHY Derek Carr, the Raiders SHIT on the Texans and Likely Advance as Faaaaaaaaaaaar as the AFC Championship Game...w/Out Carr, they Lose to Houston...

Houston Wins...


Miami @ Pittsburgh - Miami's Suffering Thru QB Injuries of their Own, but it Wouldn't Matter in this Case...Pittsburgh's Just BETTER...Jay Ajayi is the Only LEGIT Offensive Threat Miami Has, so Pittsburgh Needs to Key on him Early and Often...Make ANYBODY Else Beat You...

Pittsburgh Wins Comfortably...


NFC Divisional Round

Green Bay @ Dallas - 1 of 2 Team's REED Would PREFER "America's Team", YOUR Dallas Cowboys NOT have to Match Up w/, but it Is What it Is...The Boys BEAT Green Bay Earlier, IN Green Bay No Less, but the Packers are Obviously BETTER Now...This Game will Be a Shootout, but Dallas Eeeeeeks Out the Win...There May or May Not Come a Time where BENCHING Dak Prescott Becomes an Option...No Other Playoff Team has 2 Capable QB's, to the Degree Dallas Does...No, Not Even New England...

Dallas Wins in a Thriller...


Seattle @ Atlanta - Atlanta WOULD Have Beaten Seattle Earlier This Year, if Not for Arguably THE Worst Missed Call of the Season...Richard Sherman had Hands ALL OVER Julio Jones, on a Deeeeeep Pass that Jones Would've Caught, but NO Call....Atlanta RIGHTS that Wrong, Bounces Seattle from the Playoffs and News of "Chemistry Issues" in Seattle's Locker Room Will Surface...

Atlanta Wins...


AFC Divisional Round

Houston @ New England - Patriots Win in a LAUGHER...Brady Might NOT Even Need to Play the 4th Quarter...

New England EASY...


Pittsburgh @ Kansas City - The Chiefs are LEGIT and Tyreek Hill Gives Them that Big Play Option that Even Alex Smith CAN'T Undermine...Still, the Steelers are as GOOD as Anybody, Offensively...And They're Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaay More Experienced in Big Game, Playoff Atmospheres...

Pittsburgh Wins...


NFC Championship Game

Atlanta @ Dallas - Another Shoot Out, yet NOT to the Level of Dallas vs. Green Bay...Atlanta's the Other Team REED Ain't Exactly KEEN on the BOY's Meeting...Again, PLAYING Tony Romo Could Still Be a VIABLE Option...The Cowboys have Been THE Best Ball Control, Clock Managing Squad in the League, and This will Pay Dividends vs. the High Powered Falcon Offense...

Dallas Wins, Fairly Close, yet CLEAR...



AFC Championship Game

Pittsburgh @ New England - EPIC, Classic Game...Could Boil Down to Which Team Has the Ball LAST...REED's Going w/New England Though...By This Point of the Playoffs, who Knows What Injuries Big Ben will Be Nursing???...Their Path to this Game is CLEARLY Harder and More TAXING than the Patriots'...And That'll Ultimately Be the Difference...

New England Wins, BARELY...



Super Bowl

Dallas vs. New England - Probably THE Most Viewed Super Bowl Ever, Real Good Game, but Dallas Wins via Superior Weapons and THE Most Valuable Player in the League, Ezekiel Elliott...

Dallas Wins...





REED:mj:

 

i favor the vagiants over green gay

 

Not OUT of the Realm of Possibility, but REED Can't See it Happening in Lambeau...




REED:mj:

 

Giants defense can carry them if the offense doesn't leave them on the field for so fucking long.

I'm still amazed they won some of the games they did. Eli has done his best to throw some games away, but the D just comes up with big play after big play. Janoris Jenkis went down for a bit and Dominique Rogers-Cromatie has been playing out of his mind the last few weeks, in his spot.

 

Saturday...

Raiders at Texans
Conor Cook becomes the first QB in NFL history to get his first start in a playoff game. Who knows what you're gonna get out of him. You do know what you're gonna get out of Osweiler, and that's a bad performance. I had a few Texans on my fantasy teams so I watched a decent amount of Texan games this year, and Brock is terrible. I mean really, really bad. And Lamar Miller has been banged up all year and is coming off of a string of 2 games where he couldn't play. This will a be a low scoring, run first game that will ultimately be decided by turnovers. And those turnovers will be Brock Osweiler interceptions. Raiders 16 Texans 13

Lions at Seahawks
Seattle is home, but that's not the reason they're gonna win. The reason they are gonna win is because they are a better team than Detroit. Period. Also, the Lions have won one....ONE...playoff game since 1957, so history is not on their side. Seattle 31 Lions 23

Sunday

Miami at Pittsburgh
Miami handled Pittsburgh pretty easily earlier this year, but that was a team that had Ryan Tannehill, Mike Pouncey, Rashad Jones, Isa Abdul-Quddus and Jelani Jenkins playing. None of those players will be playing Sunday. Miami has been doing it with smoke and mirrors for the most part because of all the injuries this season. Look for Pittsburgh to exploit Miami's weakness in the short middle game with quick passes and runs up the middle. I'll be cheering my Dolphins of the whole game, but I just don't trust a Matt Moore led, Mike Pouncey-less team to be able to keep up offensively. Pittsburgh 35 Miami 24

Giants at Packers
The Packers are on a roll and are playing at home. I just don't see any way NY can win this game. Aaron Rodgers will be your NFL MVP, although you can make a STRONG case for Matt Ryan, but I see the Pack taking care of business pretty easily. Green Bay 31 Giants 17
