The Everything NFL Thread - 2016-17 Season

[Pretzels]

Also I think comparing Gronk to other TEs is kinda shortsighted.

Gronk should be compared more to guys like Antonio Brown, Odell, and Julio since hes essentially the Patriots big play guy/no.1 receiver, the guy leads the league in yards per reception for gods sake. No other TE can compare to him.

ITT Patriots fans searching for reasons to doubt their team because they're bored of winning all the time

All pats fans care about is the superbowl, and this injury puts a pretty big dent in their superbowl aspirations

Um, Antonio brown and le'veon bell are definitely in the top 10, so you're not the only team...

Other than that you are still alright without Gronk, and he'll be back in time for the afcc anyway. if you'd lost brady you'd be in more trouble, but I'll wager you could still win even the afcc without Gronk.

Well Lev Bell is always hurt/suspended so Idk if i'd put him in the Top 10, you could probably make a better case for Big Ben.

And Gronk is probably out for the season. Theres like a 0% chance hes back for the AFCC and like a 10% chance of him returning for the superbowl.

Looked it up on football outsiders. The patriots are ranked 8th worst in 3 and out frequency. Is it possible to comprehend how malignantly odious you have to be to fail to scheme a first down with this team? To be clear after the drive starts they're rated the 6th most efficient team at getting first downs! 6th! How the fuck does that even happen?

I feel like those 3 games with Brissett skew this number quite a bit

 

[WaterBomb]

That Matt Patricia lookalike though

 

[shadowpandax]

Apparently Jeff Fisher still thinks that Danny Woodhead still plays for the Patriots. He also got a 2 year contract extension today and his team is playing like shit right now.

 

[Pretzels]

The Patriots offense looked Chiefs esque today

which is not a good thing

 

[Randombobman]

Lions defense coming alive as usual in the 2nd half of the season. 8-4 on the way to the 5th seed

 

[TheLastAce]

The amount of Saints fans telling me yesterday how the lions would be exposed with the inability to stop Brees..today is a good fucking day.

So we just destroyed a team on a 6 game winning streak, and our only touchdown (and points) conceded was when the Dolphins started with the ball 9 yards out.

Who was it in this thread said that our defense was "good, not great" again?

Me

Cuz they got shredded by the cowboys raiders and Giants

and coincidentally those are the three best teams they've played this year

Giants only started moving the ball on us when Jimmy Smith left the game injured, before then he was bottling up OBJ.

I'll give you the other two, although neither team even reached 30, so if they're the worst defensive performances we've had all season, I'll take it.

Also nice of Flacco to do something that doesn't make me want to fire him in a rocket ship into the sun this season

 

[Pretzels]

I don't think wins are a good stat for a QB but Tom Brady setting the record today is pretty cool.

Also nice knowing that It will never be broken

If u watched ten seconds of the Rams Dolphins game u would be convinced that they are not a good team lmao

 

[Pretzels]

Eli Manning is the highest paid player on his team

and is also its weakest link

Dudes been absolutely awful this year

 

[Del Rio]

Is Joe Flacco elite again?

 

[Mr.E]

Eli Manning is Joe Flacco four years before Joe Flacco was Joe Flacco, this isn't new information.

LOL rams lolfisher already covered
fuck tom brady
Failcons manage to lose the game on the game-winning touchdown. Another one this season, exciting!
Blake Bortles has more pick-sixes in his career than wins. edit: dak prescott also has more wins than him
Kaepernick threw for fewer passing yards today than the number of times he was sacked, and the team threw for an equivalent amount.

COWMEN clinch a playoff berth !!!!!!!

 

[Finchinator]

mfw Derek Anderson starts for the Panthers

 

[WaterBomb]

And that first play was about as lol as possible

 

[Pretzels]

Love Chris Collinsworth reminding us that Jimmy Graham played basketball in college

ppl forget that

 

[Aerodactyl Legend]

Just like that, the LOB is sliced in half. Earl Thomas is out with a broken tibia. Tweeted in the locker room saying a lot is in his head, including retirement. Really saddens me. Just when he got back. Never missed a start, put his all every week, then out like that.

 

[bludz]

Giants O Line is the weak link, not Manning. They hold on every play just so he can barely get the ball out without being sacked. He hasn't been good this year by any stretch, but he has no pass protection or run game to work with.

Glad someone else sees it. watching the game it was pretty obvious, and no qb is going to thrive without a running game or more than .5 seconds to throw. you know your line is bad when you let Pittsburgh's nonexistent pass rush create pressure on almost every play with just 4 guys

 

[Deschain]

Blake Bortles has more pick-sixes in his career than wins.

Broncos game would have been tied in the 4th quarter without the pick-6.

Jags could easily be .500, if not a little better, without Bortles actively finding ways to lose and refs forgetting what DPI looks like.

also Jags D is playing pretty damn good, and if they were creating turnovers like the other better Ds in the league that probably would be a couple more wins.

Im telling you, henne would have us at 6-6 rn.

not a difficult case to make.

 

[WaterBomb]

Tom brady would have the jags at 12-0
