NFL Thread - 2019

[Guinness]

I would like to give a shout out to whomever calls the plays for the Gmen. They allowed what should have been a close game to be a blowout with their refusal to give the damn ball to Barkley. Dude could have had 250 yards and multiple TDs if they did not insist on throwing it so much. Or flat our refusing to run it with him on 3rd and short. I would take him in a heartbeat over the head case Zeke.

If I were a giants fan I would be ready to throw that coaching staff in the dumpster.

 

[Cowtown]

How bout Dem cowboys.

Meh, I wasn't impressed with Baltimore, either ...

Early mutiny in Miami

Losing 59-10 at any level of football leaves a mark.

All the players that suck so bad that they lost 59-10 think it’s all the other players faults?

 

[STEVEHOLT]

He’s as much of a franchise QB as any of the guys we could’ve picked last year, at this point.

People acted like last year would be the only time the Giants would ever be able to draft a young QB that’s potentially a franchise QB.

Yes .. you get it .. why is it so hard for some people ? If last year was the only year you could draft a Qb .. maybe you pass on one of the greatest backs potentially to ever play .. but that’s not how it works ..

This Patriots performance is very reminiscent to week 1 in 2007 in the Meadowlands against the Jets.

Crazy how much Brady owns Pittsburgh at home.
Are the Steelers a playoff team?
This Patriots team is adding an all-pro WR next week.

 

[Alsacs]

You seem to let some of these reporters and radio types get under your skin. I pay them no heed. In Philly the football go-to guy is Ray Didinger. He's in the HoF and he's shat out more football knowledge than most of these clowns.

I don’t like the blue check mark brigade on Twitter.
I don’t really care just making reference but these writers were butt hurt the Patriots got AB.

Steelers getting dominated no doubt. Don’t look like playoff team tonight. No comment on the wr joining the pats next week , none at all, lol.

New England is -14.5 at Miami next week.
I mean I get Miami sucked today and New England looks good but the Pats suck in Miami.
That spread is too high.

It’s not. Miami is a train wreck and New England is rolling. nE is a mess in Miami late in the season more than early

 

[STEVEHOLT]

You can’t tell much of anything for a few weeks yet ... some teams will look great next week that sucked this week and vice Versa

Can almost guarantee you Tennessee will be a team to bet against

Miami is an absolute dumpster fire right now

Listen to me my man, this is not the Dolphins of the past few years. Patriots by 30.

Is Pittsburgh really that terrible or is New England going to be this good? Ugh.

New England has a legit top 5 defense.
They have the deepest secondary in the NFL their 3rd-5th CBs would start for 3/4s of the league.
Pittsburgh though looked like they didn’t realize how much AB meant to their offense. In the past against the Patriots AB would get double teamed and allow Juju or whomever was their number 2 guy get single coverage or their RBs would get less attention because the Patriots would try to take out AB.

Patriots offense will come down to their OL as the weapons are now there for them to score a lot of points. Pittsburgh D has talent but they were switching schemes against a really good QB.

I said they looked like they did in week 1 in 2007. It was utter domination

Good lord that schedule is extremely easy until November. Maybe the bills give them a game in Buffalo, but it's pretty easy sledding until they go to Philly in November.

Agree totally. I wasn't expecting three lousy points, but this is it right here. The player mentioned above is, unfortunately (no offense to your team), that good! I don't agree with how he acted one bit and I agree they had to move on, but perhaps, just perhaps, he was right about how much he meant to the team talent wise. Trying to be objective. We got the Hawks next week at home, can't let this one linger.

You guys are still my pick to win the North.
As the switch on defense was something the Steelers only do against Brady because he has carved up their primary D for years. Steelers don’t like to play man to man but know that is how you beat the Patriots.

The Steelers have really good DL and OL. Ben didn’t get sacked without blitzes the OL was really good. Your offense was just utterly predictable either spread out and 4-5 yard slant routes and then deep vertical shots to James Washington which were low percentage throws.

 

[Capt. Tuttle]

It's an embarrassment to the league, and he should be suspended for the year. No one should be allowed to profit from such outrageously selfish behavior. It's obvious he wanted NE all along and he manipulated the system to his personal advantage and to the detriment of the league. He's a "me me me" player in a league built on team play. It's hard to know who's more offensive, the rapacious owners or the multitude of diva players. I still like the games, but I'm tired of the drama, the millionaires screaming the billionaires are unfair.

So, just watch the games. Turn of the noise.

I said to BPO their schedule is crazy easy.
If they don’t lose a division road game they won’t lose till @Baltimore or @Philadelphia.

The first 8 games
Pittsburgh
@ Miami
NY Jets
@ Buffalo
@ Washington
NY Giants TNF
@ NY Jets MNF
Cleveland

I said 13-3 or 14-2.

I mean they play Dallas and Kansas City at home and the only road game that will require more than 2 hours to fly to is @ Houston.

 

[Alsacs]

When the Giants are 5-0 heading into bradyville, you guys will all be wondering just what the fluck has happened to your season.

So will it be 4-1 now?
Or as I think 2-3.
Big Blue are 2.5 point home dogs to the Buffalo Bills this week.

They might be 0-5 after what I saw yesterday. The skins look better than them and the Giants defense is terrible. They have a shot against Tampa, but that is on the road. I think the Patriots will be Eli's last start. Jones will get the not after that against the Cards.

 

[kirbivore]

I like the depth of the Bills roster.
Their biggest weakness is Allen maturing.
They are a 10-6 team.

I am not trolling.
The Bills went 4-0 in preseason because they have a deep roster.
Plus the Bills had the 3rd most players claimed after cuts behind the Patriots and Rams which means other teams saw how deep their roster was.
Plus the AFC East plays the AFC South and NFC East which means they won’t have long flights.
I believe the Bills make the playoffs as long as Allen doesn’t kill them.
They spent in FA on OL and depth and not flash like the Jets did with Bell and Mosley.

 

[kirbivore]

during the red zone yesterday I see Myles Jack get tossed then I see the Jags D get an unsportsmanlike penalty which gave KC a new set of downs in the inside the 5 when the game was still competitive. Classic Dougie discipline right there.
