2017 NFL Football

I honestly feel worse for Buffalo fans
Every year you get some glimmer of hope
then it all just goes to shit

At least with Cleveland by week 2 or 3, you just know you've got another bad year

[Kmd4390]

The Bills fans I know have no hope to begin with. They could be 8-0 and fans would still say "they'll find a way to screw it up"

I thought that was just Iggles fans
I guess losing 4 straight superbowls does things to you

[drealmerz7]

yah, it struck a chord of familiarity when I read it too

it's interesting for sure to be so hot at this point, because it's so unusual

oh I recognized several weeks ago at this point and meant to say something, because I thought it was cool

the Eagles picked up Alshon Jeffrey, who had been #17 on the bears last year is #17 on the Eagles this year, and on the Eagles last year #17 was Agholor, so it seems like he deferred giving it to the more veteran player / person who had had the # longer, and I think that is nice

[Nero Cain]

I remember reading something that said that players will sometimes buy their #'s from players. Of course, Agholor just could have been nice and given him #17 like you suggested.

[drealmerz7]

I'm definitely curious to know

you (General Yu!) know that during the Giants vs. Eagles game at the end when Eagles kicker Elliot was setting up to go for the 61yd. game-winning field goal, Carson Wentz standing on the sideline says "if he makes this I'm giving him my whole game check" (and of course did)

Happy Buttfumble Day!

How does it feel to be wrong?

Play any of the late 00s early 10s college games. They are the best man.

Never played any of those college football games. Last college football game I own is for the Sega Genesis.

The difference between the bills and the browns is how long their plans work before they fall apart. I can't believe they benched tyrod. He was not why Saints crushed them. Bills still have a chance at playoffs but its smaller now. They won't go deep into playoffs if they make it there. I don't think the chiefs will go deep after their loss to the giants

[drealmerz7]

hey where is my share of the $$$ for being right about the giants vs. 49ers game?!

I want Raiders to have Baltimore's spot, but given how easy the ravens schedule is, I think they will get in.

[T-Bone]

Some easy schedules down the stretch produce some potentially interesting results. Notably, the Falcons and Lions miss out with 9-7 and 10-6 records...and the Chargers make it to 9-7.

I don't think I've ever seen a QB go from 100 to 0 as fast as Dak Prescott

[T-Bone]

This is what happens when you don't have time to play your position.

oh it wasn't money
i got a cupcake

we bet for food
The loser of the week has to bring snacks for everyone betting

[drealmerz7]

funny cause I almost said "dough" instead of "$$$"

derfail

[drealmerz7]

Dak Prescott killed a play and changed it to "reefer!" - called it out 4 times pretty surse

Tony Romo says it's "Revert" but...

[Killthestory]

jay cutler

[PJ.]

Mmm. Some would argue if Cutler ever actually hit "100" also it took him like 2 years to hit "0".

Dak did it overnight, which as T-Bone stated is a product of losing Tyron Smith and Zeke but I think that there is a valid argument that if you are a 0 without multiple top 5 talents surrounding you maybe you were fake 100.

[drealmerz7]

I been waiting for the fall of Dak Prescott but figured it'd take longer but when you have no depth a less than good QB becomes glaringly obvious and yep that's what happened there

[T-Bone]

Most QBs can't be Aaron Rodgers and prop up an entire failing organization like he has.

Most quarterbacks need talent around them to be successful. It doesn't make them bad quarterbacks it makes them...like every other football player because this is a team sport. Rodgers and Brady are the exceptions, not what we should expect.

Look at what happened to Jared Goff and Case Keenum this year. Now that they both have a supporting cast and a coaching staff that isn't a dumpster fire they are able to do their jobs. I think a quarterback having a work environment where they can do their jobs is a good thing. Just because Aaron Rodgers could take the Browns to a Conference Championship doesn't mean we should put that expectation on all quarterbacks. Look at Matt Stafford. When he has a supporting cast he is an exceptional talent. When he doesn't, his team is a 4-12 mess.

[Thestatusquo]

dak hasn't even been bad this year? he's just been not exceptional.

[T-Bone]

Probably just a rush of people to hate on the Cowboys.

Maybe he should kneel during the Anthem.
