Ongoing NFL Discussion Thread IV

[Good Golly I'm Olly]

First topic message reminder :

I still dream of Sudfeld and Gronk over the middle Dave  

[GSC]

Time for Geno to ride the bench if Rex plans on saving his job. He making Sanchez look competent

[GSC]

And on cue Matt Simms is in.

The Patriots are in a game with the Texans. I don't know where this Texans team has been the past few weeks.

[Good Golly I'm Olly]

STOP PUTTING ARRINGTON ON THE OUTSIDE YOU F*CKING IDIOTS

[crazy_dave23]

Alshon Jeffrey showing what I always thought he had...

[Good Golly I'm Olly]

Got the win, defence kept it close (not in the good way), but made the plays when it needed to. Offence is looking good again (although Dobson and Thompkins both hurt we are very very short at WR, despite having EDELTRON)

Oh and GRONKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK

[BamBam]

Alshon Jeffrey showing what I always thought he had...

Yeah I loved Jeffrey too, remember drafting him for the Texans in one of our v2 mock drafts!

Also .. Josh Gordon is an animal!!!

To think there were pretty solid rumours Cleveland wanted to trade him. Just stay out of trouble Josh...

[crazy_dave23]

Jags suck at Tanking... Texans and Falcons are experts

[mikeygnfl]

Jaguars take a four point lead with 40 seconds to go.

[BamBam]

Bears about to do a Bama?

[Good Golly I'm Olly]

haha was just about to put something along those lines Dave!

Bradley doing a good job there this year, certainly something to build on. Just stop winning games so you can get a good QB in the draft Jacksonville!!!!!

[BamBam]

No.

[mikeygnfl]

The Vikings looking for another tie.

[Good Golly I'm Olly]

Some really good early games today, making up for the crapfest of a SNF tonight

[mikeygnfl]

The Raiders had back-to-back ties in 1971. Can the Vikings match that feet?

[Good Golly I'm Olly]

If the Texans get the number one pick do they go Bridgewater or do they go Clowney? Imagine Clowney and Watt!!!

[Take it to the house]

What a dodgy facemask call on Ellison

[crazy_dave23]

If the Texans get the number one pick do they go Bridgewater or do they go Clowney? Imagine Clowney and Watt!!!

Well I know which way the Falcons will want them to go!

[Lowlandbrit]

Vikings trying to get a streak going here. Anyone ever done back-to-back division game ties?

[crazy_dave23]

Ice that Kicker

[skins4ever]

Andre Ellington is inactive for the Cardinals.

So pee'd off about this and J Thomas, as I was out all day coaching (we lost, just to rub it in) and didn't get home until 6:50. I know teams often keep injury announcements until game time for a number of reasons, but it sure screws up FFL!  

[GSC]

The Bears had a 250 yard receiver and a 120 yard rusher and lost

[Bull]

Unbelievable.

[Lowlandbrit]

Only Eric Dickerson and Jim Brown reached 10000 rushing yards faster than Adrian Peterson.

[mikeygnfl]

Knile Davis returns the ball for a 108 yard TD.

[Good Golly I'm Olly]

Can you hear that? Its the sound of the big game Peyton choke...

[mikeygnfl]

The Chiefs are now 21-7 up against the Broncos.

[Number-25]

Redskins.... 

This is a team that isn't going to win anymore games this season, which means that in addition to creating the biggest negative regular season headlines this year, they are also in the process of creating the biggest negative offseason storyline because they're going to be handing the number 1 pick in the draft over to the Rams. I mean, this is just the hardest to support team in the league - they just keep finding new ways of embarrassing themselves. I think losing the number 1 pick like that would be a new low though. You have to wonder if that would be too much for Snyder to bear and if that would be the final nail in Shanahan's coffin.

[Lowlandbrit]

they're going to be handing the number 1 pick in the draft over to the Rams.

Not if the Texans lose to Jacksonville. Who'd have thought the Jags might not even get a top 5 pick?

[Good Golly I'm Olly]

So with Denver winning yesterday, it probably means the AFC will have to go through Mile High again this year. Same will probably apply if Seattle beat New Orleans tonight in NFC and Centurylink

Think we'll be on for another Manning-Brady showdown in the AFC title game

[Good Golly I'm Olly]

Jags making a late burst to stay in obscurity for many more years

Is that what they call London these days?

[skins4ever]

I'm not saying it would have changed the result, given the next play, but last nights officiating fiasco gives me cause to ponder. If the officials think (or even know) they have screwed up the call, should they call an official time out to sort it out with each other or he coaches as appropriate? We seem to end up with an officiating screw up at least once a year that a simple time out and time to talk would avoid, instead of a rushed decision that becomes a topic of the media the day after.

Oh, and I don't think Shanahan will be fired, but he will likely be told to earn the contract extension next year, not be given one this year. If he screws up then I think Snyder will tell Allen to fire him. I think the owner is fed up of paying two HC salaries a year after the last few busts.

[skins4ever]

Haha, looks like NFL.com suffers the same proofreading issues as the BBC:

Panthers celebrate 8th straight win

The Carolina Panthers picked up their 10th straight win Sunday over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and celebrated by giving the game ball to running back Mike Tolbert. For more go to: panthers.com. Watch....

 

[crazy_dave23]

Its not just proof reading... the NFL website is just generally a shambles nowadays... its so so slow compared to literally any other website I open since they fill it with flash stuff and autoplaying videos!

[GSC]

Snyder can pay all the HCs salaries if he really wants.

[Number-25]

Redskins/Chiefs game this weekend is getting flexed apparently.... they're moving it so it can be shown on Comedy Central

[Number-25]

Its not just proof reading... the NFL website is just generally a shambles nowadays... its so so slow compared to literally any other website I open since they fill it with flash stuff and autoplaying videos!

So true Dave. So true. The autoplaying videos are so irritating. If I wanna watch it I'll play it. The new gamecenter set up for mobile devices is useless. Even if it worked fine, the new content would add nothing to the previous version. It's pretty much unusable.

And then there's the dreadful standard of the reporting....

[crazy_dave23]

literally I can be watching a stream (of anything be it Iplayer, You tube or even NFL Gamepass) and if I open any other website in a secondary window you don't notice... I can probably get about 10+ windows of something like the BBC without the stream batting an eyelid...

But if it's NFL.com, my stream will stutter just on opening the homepage as a single tab!

[Number-25]

 There's not much that the RG3 obsessed media hasn't written about him this season but I bet he (and Mrs Griffin III) were still a bit surprised when they saw this one....

http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/dc-sports-bog/wp/2013/12/02/sky-news-and-rgiii/?tid=pm_sports_pop

[mikeygnfl]

Peyton Hillis has out rushed Adrian Peterson, Lesean McCoy & Alfred Morris in games this year.

[Good Golly I'm Olly]

There ain't no team beating Seattle in Seattle

[mikeygnfl]

Two huge Panthers vs Saints games coming up in the next three weeks.

I also think Josh Gordon deserves a massive mention on here for.becoming the first player to have two successive games with over 200 yards receiving. He has now had 600 yards in his last three games and that is with Campbell and Weeden at QB. Imagine what he'd be like with a decent QB?

[BamBam]

I was kind of hoping he would be traded to a team with a QB when there were rumours, the guy has so much talent.

Just needs to stay out of trouble off the field, if they get a half decent QB in the draft he will do damage next year

[Good Golly I'm Olly]

Two huge Panthers vs Saints games coming up in the next three weeks.

Indeed. I like Carolina's chances as well, the Saints are a bit too finesse for my liking

[Good Golly I'm Olly]

Matt Miller ‏@nfldraftscout
Per the Univ. of Oregon, Marcus Mariota will return to school next season and not enter the NFL Draft. He’ll be my No. 1 prospect for 2015

Big big news for teams looking for a QB...

[NYJ]

Sadly, this means Derek Carr will be taken before the Jets pick.  

[Good Golly I'm Olly]

Puts a lot of teams in a sticky spot, likes of Tampa, Cleveland, Jags...Houston if they get the #1 pick could hold someone to ransom, same with Atlanta.

This is of course if Bridgewater declares, which he hasn't yet...
