2017 NFL Football

I realize TB has decided to change Coaches. They have not had any coach last longer than 2 years for awhile. Which is sad since the players want some stability in the staff

I realize Del Rio is the alternative to Gruden. I don't think Gruden will come back to the Raiders since the Bucaneers Job will be open.

If Gruden goes to Bucs and Rio stays with raiders, I think Rio is going to feel insulted. Especially since Raiders have said they want Gruden

Well I clearly missed that article

[PokerFace]

weekly reminder deshone kizer fucking sucks.

[scotmany12]

Parade time in Cleveland?

[Bella]

loltimore

[PJ.]

Guys.....Nathan Peterman might start a playoff game. I'm so pumped

[LlamaFluff]

Like my SB bets value for the most part from around the end of week 10:

NO at 12:1
JAX at 11:1
LAR at 9:1

[PokerFace]

Bills first playoff game in many years. If Peterman starts, they will lose to Jags defense. With Tyrod I think they still lose but have much better chance at win

BUF < JAX
TEN < KC
CAR < NO
ATL < LAR (Not very confident in this pick)

I want a Jags vs Rams Superbowl, but doubt it will happen.

[T-Bone]

I didn't see the game, as a Ravens fan who should I be angry at for pissing away a playoff spot?

[D3f3nd3r]

This year's prediction game is up!

the ravens

[Lil Uzi Vert]

Receivers. They dropped balls all game and left a ton of points on the field.

[T-Bone]

Oh okay, the thing I've been angry about for 4 seasons lol

[drealmerz7]

hahah

[pickemgenius]

yo this is the part where i get really upset that gruden is probably gonna be coaching the raiders.

it hasnt happened yet but hoooooooooooly shit i am already tilted off the face of the earth that its even being considered. actually with schefter reporting its going to happen and his uh.... lets say I cant think of (m)any times he breaks stuff and is wrong i'm actually just waiting on the ink to dry to be angry.


this move is significantly more likely to be a franchise killer than a franchise maker. raiders about to go to vegas with fucking john gruden as their coach. is this real life? Like, I had planned on going to games in Vegas since its approximately 25 cents to fly there but what the fuck?

I want it to work. Let's state this near the end after rambling, but it's just such a confusing hire.

[Nero Cain]

I think SB will prob be Eagles/Vikes vs. Pats

[BROseidon]

Vikings vs Jags let's GOOOOOOOOO

[drealmerz7]

I don't see the steelers letting the patriots win if they end up facing each other and I don't see the steelers losing to the jags again

never seen the NFC so up for grabs it's pretty exciting

[Bella]

I don't see how the Steelers overcome the biggest weapon the Patriots have when facing them. They certainly didn't have an answer last time.

[Lil Uzi Vert]

Pats/Rams

Book it!

[LlamaFluff]

Probably Vikings/Rams v Pats

AFC is just hard to call... its basically just "Anyone but Bills/Titans can win if they get hot". All of the AFC has looked very bad in some games and very good in some games. Just with the Jags if Bortles plays like early December Bortles, they could be super bowl bound. If he plays like classic Bortles, they might lose to the Bills.

[Mulch]

Go falcons!!!

Falcons V pAts REMATCH

Gronk or the refs?
Think this mostly comes down to AB's health and if Steelers' talent can overcome coaching differential

[Bella]

No, I'm talking about coaching. That was the definitive difference in the last game. The Smith-Schuster non-catch didn't decide the game. There were 28 seconds left and the Steelers were in relatively easy field goal range. At a minimum they should have been able have a chance to force overtime, and even if they were taking the snap back at the 10, Boswell's 22/22 on FGs under 30 years on his career, and his missed only 3 extra points (though two this year), so there's an extremely high chance they make it. Instead, Tomlin and his staff blew it by first taking a passing play that stayed in bounds, letting the clock run, and then throwing a fake spike into a crowd around the only Steelers player who was actually trying to get to the endzone. The accounts of Roethlisberger and the coachign staff after the game paints a picture of total disarray. They didn't know what to do, screwed it up and all the while the Pats were calm, collected and ready for the trick play. That's the kind of difference coaching makes, and that's why the Patriots are 7-2 and on a five game winning streak against Tomlin's Steelers. Which probably explains the decision making, actually, since Belichick apparently lives in Tomlin's head.

Besides, even if the Smith-Schuster non-catch had been incorrectly called a TD, the Pats had 28 seconds and two time outs, so they were perfectly capable of winning the game anyway.
