2016-2017 NFL Thread

[chickenpotpie]

We had a discussion on this thread about the Steelers head coaches, their tenures, and their greatness levels awhile back.

 

Terry B. the HOF Steeler QB says Tomlin is a great cheerleader, but great coach?...umm no.

Just one ex players opinion for what it is worth.

 

This goes back to the Belicheck/Brady debate....who makes who great? In that case, I think they both need each other. In Pittsburgh's case, I think Tomlin needs Roethlisberger more.

Line trends for week 16

 

Patriots laying now 17 to the Jets......new winner for largest spread of the year right there. I think.

Hey you, happy holidays.

I dug up some pics of the Lions cheerleaders just for you and posted them. Not See?

Or did you not like the humorous statements about Detroit women?

 

Lions I hope do well Monday Night. Maybe facing Romo.

No time for analysis or witicisms today, unfortunately.

Go Bills! But, probably, Miami squeaking it out.

Pats over Jets, yawn. Points? As bscinstinct would say, fuggetaboutit (I can never pull off a NYC accent)

Jaguars in the upset... just kidding... I'm not picking them 3 weeks in a row. Titans run all over them.

No AP, which might help the Vikes, but Rodgers and GB are on a mission. Packers by 3.

Do I have to type "Chargers over the Browns"? Crap! I just did.

The Bears have given both the Packers and Lions more than they wanted from a 3 win team. I have a feeling... Bears over the Skins. (Sorry touch).

Tough game for the Falcons, but I think they will prevail over the Panthers.

Colts vs Raiders. 11-3 vs 7-7. Should be a comfortable win for the home team... but, I think Luck and Co will put some points on the board. Raiders fans sweat out a close one.

Upset special! Saints over the Buccaneers.

Seahawks re-focus for the playoffs. Cardinals on the road. Could get ugly.

At least the 49ers don't have to travel far.

Tom Savage... savior of the Texans playoff hopes?... I think so, at least for this week. Texans over the Bengals by 7.

Ravens vs Steelers... I don't want to think about it. I should be drunk by then anyway.

Broncos vs Chiefs. The Chiefs' offense has not scored a 2nd half TD since week 13. I need to think about this one some more...

 

Hope Santa brings me a Ravens win!!!

 

Merry Christmas to everyone!!!

[CrabDaddy]

And the 2008 Detroit Lions are poppin' the champagne corks!!! They remain the only 0-16 team in NFL history! Congratulations to the Cleveland Browns on the win ... and, uh, jeopardizing the #1 pick in next year's draft!

Cleveland! Jacksonville! The 49ers have gotta be feelin' it! Something special is in the air! If only they weren't playing the 4-11 Rams... might be a little cross-karma going on with that matchup.

 

Meanwhile, that stadium lease just got a little harder to negotiate for the Chargers.

[toddnt]

Chargers better fire McCoy before their flight leaves !

[CommerceTiger]

Falcons clinch!!

[touch]

OMG

the 4th quarter and end of the Seattle game. That is why we are fans of the great NFL right there!

Blown away with amazement.

 

Merry Christmas to all the regulars around these parts.

Thanks, and yes I saw them! Thanks for that Christmas gift!

 

Will be a close game I think, but tough for Detroit to win on the road. All comes down to next week against GB. But the way Washington and Tampa are playing, the loser might slide in as the 2nd wild card!

Falcons clinch!!

 

Happy for CommT with that, and happy they took it to Cam and the boys in their house!

Really a bummer for Carr and Mariota. Big fan of them both here. It's a violent game we love, and on any given Sunday you can lose a

star player from your team for the season.

 

Sorry for ya 2putttom , seriously.

 

Can you get Jay Schroeder to grab the QB wheel?

Nice call on the Saints

Cousins leads way as Redskins pound Bears 41-21

Kirk Cousins threw for a touchdown and ran for two more, and the Washington Redskins gave their fading playoff hopes a boost with a 41-21 victory over the Chicago Bears on Saturday.

Um, the Packers and Lions are not NFC East teams. . lol

Did you get a trip in to Frankenmuth this month?

I always wondered if they had Lions themed ornaments and trinkets there.

[touch]

Crab, Just when you jump off the J'ville horse, he comes through. I knew that had you saying "Now you....."

You had their vibes right for almost a month. Those of us as regulars can attest to that.

 

This play from them yesterday was so slick.

That was some well run deception! The announcer in that clip said something odd, though, "The only time a QB is eligible to become a receiver is when he's in the shotgun". Doesn't make sense. Has there been a specific rule created recently... or did he misspeak?

 

Jags have been within one score in 9 of their losses! They had 4th qtr leads in their last 2 games.

Guess that's why they tell ya not to try timing the markets, either. LOL!

No, they're not NFC East teams, but do you want your Redskins to play the Packers right now? Rodgers was on top of his game yesterday!

Lions were briefly in line for a first round bye, now they might not make the playoffs.

What a blow to Oakland! Talk about your season crumbling... can't imagine McGloin, whoever he is, will be the second coming of Earl Morrall.

Whatever Miami has been paying Matt Moore looks like money well spent.

[CrabDaddy]

Who is Matt Lengel?

http://www.nfl.com/videos/nfl-game-highlights/0ap3000000762460/Tom-Brady-finds-Matt-Lengel-for-an-18-yard-TD

 

Was he the 10th caller to win WEEI's 'Catch a Tom Brady TD pass' contest? Or was this a trial run for the NFL's new Pro-Am competition? Or was it Belichick f-ing with the Jets? " I'll beat you with a random guy I picked out of the stands".

Nice work Mr. Lengel... you can change your name to Legend now.

Crabism------catch a td from Brady contest put on by the Beantown Sports Radio Station! love it.

Almost out of the stands Crab as you hear the announcer say they got him from the Bengals PRACTICE SQUAD !!

That is where they found the big ol' white boy !!!! Belichick and his crystal ball that sees all dark horses. Just

playing master level chess and every other head coach in the NFL is playing checkers. GOAT Head Coach and GOAT

QB on the same team is just so unfair...but I'm a fan.I just roared when

the announcer said that. He also said that it was his first career TD, and it came off the arm of um GOAT, I mean he said

arm of Brady. lol He followed it up with "that smile on his face is going to be there for a long time."

I saw it live and I thought "who the hell?" too!

Good lord no....that place is such a tourist trap, plus the chicken is about as good as what you'd get from a KFC 3-4 days after they lost power to their fryers. And I live only 40 minutes away, so distance really isn't an issue.

[CrabDaddy]

I'm sick, just sick. So close...

 

That last drive by the Ravens was quality. Really thought we had it when Juszcyk scored. Then realized 1:18 was too much time left, but I thought it would go to OT. Roethlisberger completed all of his passes on their last drive. Tough to win if you let teams drive 75 yds in 69 seconds.

[glk]

My cronies in the burgh did their usual and called game over after the 2nd pick and had likened Ben to cutler. Short memories. As usual saying nothing until the game is over is best course.

It was like Santa said "here Raven fans is your gift "..and then snatched it away. Brutal way to lose to a rival.

It was all Tomlin. lol

Now I am supposed to believe Bob Ley was actually this young on ESPN once? wow just wow
