NFL 2016-2017 Thread

Paul Richardson with one of the greatest catches you'll ever see. He came to hoop with us at the park I go to, good to see him making plays finally after his knee injury a few years ago

 

Great catch with one hand, but with his other hand he had all kinds of facemask. Should've been a penalty.

My predictions from yesterday were Texans over the Raiders 24-13 (close) and the Seahawks over the Lions 28-17 (it was more of a beatdown than I thought but the payout is the same.)

I'm not confident enough to bet today but my predictions:

Dolphins 10
Steelers 28

Giants 16
Packers 21

 

Matt Moore got DESTROYED

 

i thought bud dupree murdered mooore on that one hit

 

Once again, the Packers having no clue how to play in cold weather

 

That Miami fling took a lot out of the G-men receivers

 

That'll Be the NARRATIVE, @ Least...

Per Odell Beckham, the Pic was Taken 7 Daaaaaaays Ago, and if that's REALLY the Case, it SHOULD Be a Non-Issue...




REED:hammert:

 

I don't give a shit about the boat but if beckham jr doesn't drop that td in the first quarter it's a different ball game

 

So Aaron (or "Sharon", as You Affectionately Refer to Him As) Rodgers DOESN'T Throw for 350+yds and 4 TD's, if Odell Catches that Ball???...






REED:hmm:

 

Manning was playing really well for once and Beckham and the receiving corp choked it away, along with the inexcusable defensive lapses in the last 2 minutes of the first half.

I love OBJ, but he's not clutch at this point. I've seen too many examples of elite teams and defenders getting in his head and all of a sudden the guy who makes one handed catches look routine can't catch a ball thrown right in his bread basket.

DRC getting hurt early in the game was also a killer.

 

Its a different ball game. maybe that bullshit TD pass at the end of the half doesnt occur. watching the game it was pretty obvious the giants were fucking up, leaving points on the board in the first quarter when they couldve taken control on the scoreboard as they had in the overall flow of the game. if beckham jr or shepherd wouldve hauled in one of those passes in the end zone. regardless, they at least managed to injure that hick jordy ray nelson. the internal injuries he suffered to organs should prevent him from playing against your cowgirls. im counting on your squad, reed

 

Yup, butterfly wings man, butterfly wings.

At a certain point, the offense for the Giants, completely demoralized the defense by putting them in a bad position over and over again. You can try to get away with that with Kirk Cousins or even Matthew Stafford playing QB for the other team, but not with Aaron fucking Rodgers.

 

So is Watson the number 1 pick

 

Bill walton on ESPNU was classic television during the game

 

REED's Sure Mel Kiper, Jr and/or Todd McShay will Rate Somebody that HASN'T Played 1/3 the Level of Competition, but Watson Certainly DIDNT Hurt his Chances Last Night...

Watson 1nce Again SHINED Against an NFL Caliber Defense, That Went OUT of its Way to Punish Him...Nonetheless, He Stayed the Course, Brought Clemson Back and was Magnificent on the Game Winning Drive....Dude Throws the Ball a Miiile, he's Accurate, he's Mobile and there's Been Little to No Off-Field Baggage...

DeShaun Watson's a GAMER, and any Team that Passes on Him May Regret It....

They're really gonna try to play at StubHub Center,

 

www.fanspeak.com

interesting site with a mock draft simulator where you can select your team and choose who they take with each of their picks.

here is what i came up with for the bears:

3: R1P3
EDGE MYLES GARRETT
TEXAS A&M
36: R2P4
S BUDDA BAKER
WASHINGTON
67: R3P3
QB BRAD KAAYA
MIAMI (FLA.)
109: R4P4
CB RASUL DOUGLAS
WEST VIRGINIA
115: R4P10
WR CHRIS GODWIN
PENN STATE
148: R5P3
EDGE JORDAN WILLIS
KANSAS STATE
224: R7P3
QB CHAD KELLY
OLE MISS

 

Seattle at Atlanta
This is a great matchup. It's really a coin flip. Ryan has had an MVP worthy year, but I think the Seahawk Defense comes up big. Seattle wins.

Houston at New England
The Texans are getting no respect in this game. 16 point underdogs last time I checked. Houston has an excellent D, but they're not gonna win unless the Pats completely underestimate them looking ahead to next week. It'll be a closer game than people think early, but the Pats will pull away in the 2nd half. Patriots win.

Pittsburgh at KC
KC has a playmaking defense, Travis Kelce has finally reached his potential, and Tyreek Hill can score every time he touches the ball. Pittsburgh has Bell, Brown and Ben all playing at a high level. Conventional wisdom says to take Pittsburgh, but I'm going with KC. Chiefs win.

Green Bay at Dallas
Rodgers and the Pack are on fire. Even with Jordy Nelson out, I don't think they can be stopped this week. If the Packers get out to an early lead it's gonna be hard for Dallas to catch up. Packers win.

i agree that dallas may be in trouble if they fall behind early by 14-0 or something and they are forced to pass more than they'd like to. i still expect them to be too much for this over rated fudge pack team. peppers had a big game last week against scrubby offensive tackles, lets see if he can do it against tyron smith.

 

I went 4-0 last weekend. VERY close on the scores of the AFC games and not close at all on the NFC games but had the winner right. This week is trickier to predict so I don't expect to go 4-0 again.

Seahawks 28
Falcons 30

Texans 9
Patriots 28

Steelers 24
Chiefs 26

Packers 27
Cowboys 23

 

seattle, new england, pittsburgh and dallas

 

Devin Hester showed up today thus far

 

The Falcons taxed that ass.

 

Ol' Man STILL Got it, for Sure...




REED:hammert:

 

No Doubt...

REED Can't Recall the Current Era of Seahawks EVER Looking Worse in the Playoffs, Defensively...Atlanta Basically Did WHAT they Wanted, WHEN they Wanted....





REED:hammert:

 

I actually bet on the Patriots -17 pts.

Thank you, Osweiler!

 

Even if that Happened (It WON'T), Green Bay's Gonna KEEP an Extra Man in the Box, to Contain the Run...

Which Means Dez Bryant will Have Single Coverage for Most of the Game...Dez has Been Hit or Miss Since the Catch/No-Catch, the Last Time he Faced Green Bay in the Playoffs...Time to RIGHT that WRONG...Time to Exorcise that Fucking Demon!!!...

1 Way or the Other, "America's Team", YOUR Dallas Cowboys Will Be Able to Look DIRECTLY @ Dez Bryant's Production Today, as the Key to a Win or Loss...Zeke will Be ZEKE, Dak Will Spread the Rock Around Properly, but Dez has to Be SPECIAL Today...






REED:hammert:

 

Osweiler is really awful. Texans would be better off luring old concussed Matt Shaub back to the Texans, then letting Brock fuck up another season for them.

 

Looks like Tyron smith might not play
