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

[Mr.E]

Not even Scobee's fault tbh, Tomlin shouldn't have had him kicking long FGs into the open end of Heinz Field. And then he elects to go for it in OT when they would've been kicking into the closed end (I think?). That's just garbage coaching.

You thought it was Mike Tomlin, but it was me, Dio Jerry Jones!

49 and 41 are not long field goals anymore, and they were driving towards the same end he had missed twice on (that's why the Ravens chose that side of the field)

the first one, fine, but no NFL kicker should be missing 41 yard field goals anymore and expecting to still have a job. that puts him at 6/10 on the year with a missed extra point. I'd be very surprised if he has a job come Monday

 

[Mr.E]

41 isn't that long, but it isn't short and still on the bad side of Heinz Field which is all but known to be a fuckin' wind tunnel. It's a missable kick and you should know that going in. 49 in the same condition is unlikely even for a better kicker than Scobee. Armchair Cowboys fan here shouldn't have to remind the head coach of the Pittsburgh Steelers of these facts.

 

[Stallion]

I almost had a heart attack. We look like dog shit, but hey we won. Tucker is the GOAT

 

[macle]

Steelers deserve to lose for not throwing the hail mary with 3 seconds left

 

[Stallion]

That is fucking horse shit and every fucking ravens fan knows they didn't deserve that win. Fuck josh scobee

Yo your team was ass and put up like 60 yards in the second half. Don't just blame Scobee, blame Todd Haley and the offensive play calling for playing conservatively. The stacked Ravens teams of yesteryear used to do that against you guys when we had a lead and it always cost us.

Side note but both teams looked like they were trying to lose lol

It was the perfect textbook Thursday night game. Players missing the game to injury, short week prevents large changes to the playcalling (aside from a couple plays it looks like the Steelters forgot Vick was the QB, especially early) and both teams played like shit mostly. Still managed to be an interesting back and forth game.

 

[Milos]

you can take josh scobee out of the jaguars, but you can't take the jaguar out of josh scobee

 

[Deschain]

lol.

he was like the only good thing about the Jags for a number of years.

just want to remind everyone that the Steelers gave up a 6th rounder for him. :)

 

[WaterBomb]

I'm still trying to process why they kept getting chunk yardage with Bell on early downs and then trying to throw on 3rd and 1/2/3. Scobee's issues aside, Pittsburgh still had about 5 good chances to put that game away that they were unable to capitalize on because of crappy playcalling. When you have a backup QB and the (arguably) best RB in the entire league, you don't let the QB throw more than the RB carries. 22 carries is unacceptable in that situation, should have been 30+.

To give credit where it's due, Justin Tucker is still clutch as hell and Flacco, as much shit as I give him for being a mediocre QB overall, isn't afraid to stand strong in the pocket and take a shot if it means completing an important pass.

I suppose at 2-2 I shouldn't panic, but with our upcoming slate of games being far more intimidating this game was really important to win, and we failed. I have a nasty feeling we may be in too deep a hole to climb out of by the time Ben gets back to full health.

Heinz field is not the main issue, Scobee is just bad

 

[Pretzels]

Ben Roethlisberger blatantly cheating on the sideline by using his cell phone but the NFL sweeps it under the rug.

He should have to turn his phone over and be subjected to an eight game suspension if he declines.

 

[Unlucky Desperado]

what even is the context of that photo lol , I don't see anything wrong

 

[Pretzels]

You can't use your phone on the sideline

The integrity of the game is at stake here, we can't have other teams gaining an advantage no matter how small that advantage may be.

The Steelers and their fans take cheating extremely seriously so I don't see why they shouldn't face some hefty punishment when they're the ones doing the cheating.

We need a level playing field.

 

[macle]

isnt having scoobydoo as their kicker punishment enough?

 

[xJownage]

Scobee wasn't even bad for the Jaguars, in fact he was really good. Pittsburgh just has bad air. duh.

 

[Ampharos]

Scobee just has a terrible case of Vanderjagt syndrome

Obligatory "fuck Mike Vanderjagt"

 

[Mr.E]

Most kickers don't just drop off a cliff like Vanderjagt though, Scobee will probably be fine if he manages to keep his job and he just picked a bad time to have a bad day. Look what happened to Nick Folk after he had a bad year in Dallas (after having a couple good ones to start his career), he's doing just fine in New York now. Granted, Dallas ended up with another BEAST in Dan Bailey but you could definitely argue it was a mistake to let Folk go and they just lucked out.

 

[Stallion]

Campanaro out for the season. We actually can't catch a fucking break, hopefully Steve Smith ices up over this mini-bye or LOL Aiken will be our #1, and I'll probably be asked to be our #2 receiver

Edit: Smith has 4 broken bones in his back. This season can go get fucked

 

[LonelyNess]

Bitch please we lost our probowl lineman, Jordy fuckin Nelson AND Davante has ankle issues every week.

Every team has injuries, stop whinin that the ratbirds can't cope.

lmao don't compare the packers WR injuries to the ravens. packers still have randall cobb and james jones. granted, james jones is not even that good but you have aaron rodgers throwing the football. you can strap a helmet onto stephen hawking and i would still say the packers receivers look better.

do you understand the ravens best receiver was a 35 year old veteran? losing ANY receiver, even as insignificant as campanaro or whatever his name is, is HUGE. the ravens are depleted to a point where they have to trade for a rams receiver... A RAMS RECEIVER...

 

[some hero]

The rams have a good core of receivers. The problem is the qb.

 

[Ampharos]

there are numerous NFL teams that would kill to have Nick Foles at quarterback

honestly at this moment in time the Cowboys are one of them

 

[some hero]

That doesn't disprove my point that Foles is not a solution.

 

[Zebstrika]

It doesn't exactly help him to have just a single experienced starter on his OLine, leading to practically no run game or pass protection.
