2016 Gameday Thread

Definitely the Colts.  Easily the weakest team in a playoff spot.  I think NYJ is a pretty good opponent to have because they have a QB playing over his head.

 

For the most part, teams with an experienced elite QB not named Peyton seem to have the best chance in the playoffs.  Brady, Rofls, Wilson, and Rodgers in a close game are hard to bet against.

 

The Packers have some big holes and I wouldn't expect them to get past the second round.

 

Of course you can say the same thing about defense.  KC, AZ, Denver, Carolina, Minn and NYJ can really play D.  

 

I still think that KC's style wont work in the playoffs and Andy Reid is no a very good game manager, and Alex Smith is not a big arm guy so the offense is pretty conservative.  Still, the AFC isn't exactly loaded with teams that can score a lot outside of Pitt/NE if they are healthy.

 

Minnesota doesn't have the offense to do much IMO either.

 

Kinda cool that it seems more open this year.  Only teams I don't think could do much are Den, Indy whoever wins the NFC East and Cincy without Dalton.

 

I think when you look at Carolina and AZ they have really strong defenses and they put up insane numbers.  Cam could certainly be considered elite, he is this year's MVP, but not the playoff experience like the four I mentioned earlier.  Carson Palmer was really good early in his career and then injuries seemed to really stop him.  He has been really good this year but a little up and down.  Narrowly winning a couple games they should have easily won and in the two losses.

 

In the end I just hope that the Pats don't win again.

How has Palmer been up and down. He's thrown for 4000yds 31td to 9int.

His worst game imo was @ pitt. Cardinals moved up and down the field on their defense just couldn't finish drives

Here you go AO.

Rams won't fire Fisher

Rams beat TB 31-23, after leading 21-3 at halftime.

Last home game in St.L.?

[Tank]

anyone know why the ravens are wearing gold pants today? it looks goofy, like some kind of throw back gone wrong.

 

also, the chiefs need to bring back the red pants. love those.

[Brandon]

Read an article about it and no reason, just wanted to change it up.

 

I don't really like contrasting tops/bottoms, but the Chiefs red pants with the road whites are pretty clean.

 

Ravens score on a hail mary to end the half haha.

 

Chiefs are in control, so I don't fear a loss.....looked like a classic trap game with that first Ravens possession.

Odell Beckham is a ****ing bitch. Just another typical diva WR. Josh Norman and the Panthers have been owning his ass all day and he's taking cheap shot after cheap shot. He just launched himself at Josh Norman's head. These ****ing referees are atrocious. Beckham has 3 personal foul penalties and he hasn't been ejected. I expect the media to rip him this week and I expect him to get some serious fines. He's lost me as a fan of his.

Yeah ODBJ looking like a total dipshit.

Just about to come here and post the same. That helmet shot was one of the worst I've witnessed. Beckham should have been ejected. Now there is another full quarter to play with both players fired up. No doubt there will retribution until the refs start taking control and throwing people out. Now we will see if the NFL has the balls to suspend a star WR for a game. I highly doubt it.

I guess dude is as douchey as his haircut

[Brandon]

Cut from the end of the Chiefs game for a game featuring Brandon Weeden vs. Charlie Whitehurst. Solid.

[Brandon]

Speaking of assholes, the only one I despise is LeSean McCoy. Dude needs to STFU and stay out of the news. Dude is constantly in the headlines or trying to get into the headlines.

[Hollyw00d]

Haha eli

[Hollyw00d]

Bills gonna bill

[mancini79]

Carolina is trying to give this game away.

[nando714]

Chargers ending their stay in SD on a high note

[Angels_Make_Me_Drink]

Cam Newton is the unanimous MVP, right?

[nate]

Someone will probably vote for Brady and say it is because of injuries but Cam is for sure the MVP.

[Spirit]

The Broncos are a hot mess right now. 

[nando714]

The Broncos are a hot mess right now.

In the 2nd half*

Why did they stop running the ball?

[Spirit]

Whatever Kubiak is saying at halftime, he needs to stop saying it.

[Catwhoshatinthehat]

The last 2 games opposing teams have made adjustments after halftime and the Broncos have been outscored 36-0 in the 2nd half.  Raiders/Steelers deserve credit but a lot  of it is also on Kubiak and his staff who are getting out coached.  Nothing about the Broncos right now says anything more than one and done in the playoffs supposing they don't lose the next two games and miss the playoffs all together.

NFC West Champs!!!!!!!!

he should absolutely be suspended for that bush league move. what a punk.

 

and how is getting 3 personal fouls not a cause for immediate ejection??

If you get 2 you should be ejected
