The Everything some hero (NFL) Thread - 2015-16 Season

[Pretzels]

You're worse than some hero

I try to remain consistent.

But sometimes I loose my cool when the weekly SPYGATE CHEATRIOTS story comes out.

and if you don't like talking about the Patriots then I don't know what to tell ya. That's like asking someone to discuss basketball in the 90's without mentioning the Chicago Bulls.

Really makes you wonder how much the Patriots really did

Prolly pumped crowd noise into the falcons stadium and Hacked Ray Farmer's phone mighta set up ray rice too who knows

a) you're delusional to compare the Pats to Jordan-era Bulls

b) no one has a problem with discussing the Pats. the problem is that not a single post in the last 30 has been discussing their team composition, field performance, etc. AKA all the things football fans care about. The Patriots "discussion" has been a complete persecution-complex circlejerk. That's not football discussion, and it gets old, fast.

edit: Taking comments about the Pats causing 9/11 seriously? You are, in fact, worse than some hero

So when a report that brings the validity of your on field performance into question surfaces, the players in said report shouldn't care about it? The fans of that team shouldn't care about it? Gotcha.

And yes deflategate was getting old, but now we have a brand new (old) story about the Patriots cheating to pass the time with.

Like it or not, the Patriots are getting talked about.

I really love this pic from the article

(Left BB talking about Spygate, right BB talking about Deflategate)

Yeah pretzels you need to relax, your patriots homerism is disrupting the peaceful and entirely respectful Ravens circle jerk this thread wants to be.

Lolling at the idea we can't compare the 90s Bulls to the current Patriots who have had a longer reign of dominance by half over in a much harder sport to dominate in. But yeah bud, Patriots fans are overzealous in their praise to make a comparison like that.

And I'm really lolling at the idea that most football fans don't want to hear about it anymore or don't care when it has been a media driven story from the get go and they release a new story every other day on the same content and they still get paid oodles and oodles of money because everyone still fucking listens to it. Hilarious how passionate people are when they insist that "no one cares".


If you wanted to talk about football, go watch a fucking old game and yak about some shit, literally try and start ANY conversation on your own. But don't try to shut people down for talking about literally the only major story in the offseason. Especially don't do it under of being tired of homerism. Like fuck, you'd have to kick Killah out of this thread if you really hated constant homerism. No one wants that, man.

 

[Pretzels]

Btw hope everyone watches America's game tonight on NFL network featuring the Patriots

and if you haven't had enough Patriots, on Wednesday you can watch the do your job documentary on the Patriots which looks extremely interesting.

Then on Thursday you can watch the Superbowl champion New England Patriots raise their banner in what will almost surely be the most watched opener of all time.

Then on Friday we can all talk about the new Patriots cheating scandal when we find out the Patriots cheated on Thursday.

Just can't get enough of the Patriots

At least some hero is mildly entertaining

Bruh picking Kansas City to win the division and not even put Denver on your WC spot? That's ballsy af. I like the pick because it's interesting but by the end of Week 17, will Kansas City even have a winning record? That's the real question. San Diego is competitive..usually. Oakland got better. Denver is Denver.

I've said it before and I'll say it again, it'll be a miracle if the cards win 8 games.

Also I don't understand the vikings hype, they look terrible on paper and will win about 6/7 games. I just don't trust teams without qbs. The Cowboys, without the leagues best running back, will revert back to shit defense and excruciating last minute losses by romo and finish 8-8.

If Lamar Miller leads the league in rushing, like I'm predicting, the phins can win the mediocre afc east. Otherwise they're another mediocre team.

The problem with the chiefs is that the single greatest passing qb ever is still playing. They'll choke against him like they do every year.

 

[some hero]

And here are my predictions, which are probably better than everyone elses.

AFC North: Ravens(10-6, Steelers miss the playoffs at 8-8/9-7)
AFC South: Colts(13-3)
AFC East: Dolphins(assuming Lamarr leads the nfl in rushing, otherwise the Patriots at 9-7)
AFC West: Broncos(12-4)
Wild Card: Chargers(9-7, the phins can take this spot if Lamarr leads the nfl in rushing but they somehow still screw everything up), Bengals(10-6)
Championship Game: Colts v. Dolphins(if they win the division through Lamarr, otherwise the Ravens)

NFC North: Packers(9-7)
NFC South: Saints(9-7)
NFC East: Giants(12-4)
NFC West: Seahawks(14-2)
Wild Card: Lions(8-8), Falcons(8-8)
Championship Game: Seahwawks v. Giants

Super Bowl: Colts v. Giants

Coach of the Year: Dan Quinn
Comeback Player: Eric Berry
Offensive Rookie: Ereck Flowers
Defensive Rookie: Landon Collins
Offensive Player: Lamarr Miller
Defensive Player: Ndumukong Suh(if Lamarr leads the NFL in rushing, otherwise Watt)
MVP: Andrew Luck

Patriots with a 13-3 record when their team has gotten weaker and their division has gotten stronger? Can't say I agree with that.

 

[JackTheGordie]

Patriots with a 13-3 record when their team has gotten weaker and their division has gotten stronger? Can't say I agree with that.

It's probably a bit optimistic, tbh. 12-4 or 11-5 is more realistic I'll give you that, but I could still see them getting 13 Wins, even if it's a bit of stretch.

 

[WaterBomb]

He also listed a 37 year old QB as his offensive Rookie of the Year candidate

undoubtedly as a joke but still lol

Eh pay for a football outsiders one instead. The way they grade stuff is terrible so i ain't paying for that so do us a solid.

 

[Pretzels]

The Patriots literally killed the Charger's franchise and sunk the city of San Diego into the Pacific ocean (Pay no attention to the fact that Shawne Merriman was roided up beyond belief during these games)
