Week 17 Thread

[Brandon]

93% > 90% rating

65% > 62% comp.

All while not having any receivers. Charles didn't even have a great season either.

[nate]

Now take a look at how bad the offensive players around Flacco were this season.

[Brandon]

Ummm, the 5th leading rusher, Steve Smith, and Torrey tied for 10th in tds.

That did not help your cause.

[nate]

That is like referencing RBI in baseball.  Flacco attempted 100 more passes than Smith.  They were a pass heavy offense and were second in the league in dropped passes.

[Brandon]

You told me to look up his weapons, I did, they are solid, end of discussion.

Smith had a better rating missing a game and not having a receiver catch a td all year.

He's a lot more efficient than Flacco. I'm sure he has less turnovers as well.

[OregonLAA]

Smith. Lol. Flacco sucks too. Chiefs get a real QB for once and they'll be deadly

[nate]

You think not having a receiver catch a TD all year is good for Smith?  He plays in a simple offense, of course he will have less turnovers.  There is a reason why he never caught on in SF and they didn't mind losing him at all. 

[OregonLAA]

To be fair, I think the Niners would take him back if they could.

[Brandon]

Yeah, everyone I know would rather have Smith than Kaep.

It's the offense and the play calling. They ask him to not turn the ball over, Nate. I'm sure if they had weapons and deep threats they would air it out.

Arguing about stats is moot. I only care about the team winning and he does that.

[Catwhoshatinthehat]

It's like you guys are arguing who is the 20th most attractive chick that didn't get nominated to be prom queen.    

[Tank]

Ndonkeykong Suh suspended 1 game for stepping on Aaron Rodgers leg.  Dude is such an idiot.

 

this guy is such a dbag. glad the league stepped up and did something.

[Hollyw00d]

Lol @ "rivers is overrated"

What a foolish statement

[nate]

He is.  He started his career surrounded by hall of famers and put up huge numbers but never won anything.  Now he is barely above average.

[OregonLAA]

No

[DW711]

Suh is really stupid.

 

If you buy into playoff record in a team sport:

 

Flacco: 9-4

Smith: 1-2

[NJHalo]

Suh just cost himself some money. Going into his free agent year, the guy tried to keep clean all season so that he didn't scare away potential suitors.

 

I am sure he will get a nice payday, but could have been a lot better if he showed he could keep it under control.

[bloodbrother]

Suh suspension lifted. Gets a slap on the wrist and a $70K fine

 

NFL's discipline policy makes no sense. Suh was considered a "first-time offender" when it comes to player safety violation, thus the fine. Now, that makes no sense considering the guy has a history of being fined countless times for player safety violations

 

Well, apparently the NFL revised their rule on this, and it makes no sense really. If you violate player safety, first time offense is a fine(obviously). Once you have violated player safety, you then have some randomly assigned 32-game window where you must not violate player safety or else you get suspended. If you go 32 straight games without any incident, your slate is wiped clean. If you then violate player safety after that 32 game window has passed, you'd be treated as a "first-time offender" yet again, and be fined

 

Suh apparently just made the cut, so instead of a suspension he gets a fine. He now must go incident free over his next 32 games for his slate to be wiped clean. Why 32 games? No freakin idea...

[nate]

32 games is two full seasons.
