Ongoing NFL Discussion Thread V

First topic message reminder :

Manziel is learning school yard football doesn't cut it in the NFL.

Until he learns the basics this will continue

In light of the Mueller report, why is Roger Goodell not taking more flak over the League's handling of the Ray Rice scandal? He really is made of Teflon.

The winter of Gronk has arrived my friends

The Patriota lead the Ravens 8-3 in head-to-heads though that includes a 2-1 record to the Ravens in the playoffs.

Brady is 5-1 against the ravens in regular season games with a passer rating of 83.6. Brady also holds the records for the most playoff appearance and wins.

Joe Flacco is 1-3 against the Patriots in the regular season with a passer rating on 92.o but has led the Ravens to two playoff wins in Foxboro. If Flaco wins tonight he will be level with Peyton Manning and Troy Aikmen on 11 playoff wins.

The Patriots lead the Ravens 7-3 in their last 10 meetings with an average score of 24-19 to the Patriots.

Just looking at recent head-to-heads the Broncos record against the Colts is pretty poor. The Colts lead 2-0 in playoff games and have only won one of their last seven meetings.

Seems like the Seahawks are going to vastly overpay Russell Wilson this offseason.

by mikeygnfl Sat Jan 10, 2015 9:39 pm

Joe Flacco getting it done early.

by **Good Golly I'm Olly** Sat Jan 10, 2015 10:00 pm

Right did the New England patriots go missing during the bye or something??????

by crazy_dave23 Sat Jan 10, 2015 10:00 pm

Erm... who are you and what have you done with regular season Joe Flacco

by mikeygnfl Sat Jan 10, 2015 10:12 pm

Brady does his best Tebow impression to get the Patriots back in the game.

by JDizzle Sat Jan 10, 2015 10:14 pm

Tom Brady ties the Patriots record (5) for post season rushing TDs.

"@AshokaESPN: If Dick LeBeau doesn't report to a training camp this summer, it will be the first time since Dwight Eisenhower was president. Really."

That's mental

by JDizzle Sat Jan 10, 2015 11:08 pm

Matt Stafford wondering where these officials were last week.

by **Good Golly I'm Olly** Sat Jan 10, 2015 11:15 pm

We're playing like absolute crap.

Guess it's good we're still in it but step it up ffs

by Number-25 Sat Jan 10, 2015 11:41 pm

Uh oh Baltimore are doing it again...

by **Good Golly I'm Olly** Sat Jan 10, 2015 11:47 pm

This isn't the New England defence I've watched for 17 weeks. Talk about laying an egg

by **Good Golly I'm Olly** Sat Jan 10, 2015 11:52 pm

At least Gronk showed up

Edelman to Amendola. Who needs Brady and Gronkowski?

by JDizzle Sun Jan 11, 2015 12:08 am

Edelman has a better deep ball than Brady.

by **Good Golly I'm Olly** Sun Jan 11, 2015 12:19 am

This game is awesome

Wait for the Panthers vs Seahawks then!

by JDizzle Sun Jan 11, 2015 1:00 am

And that is that. NE will need to be a lot, lot better. Like getting some QB pressure would be nice!

by **Good Golly I'm Olly** Sun Jan 11, 2015 1:01 am

What a game. What an Frak incredible game

by JDizzle Sun Jan 11, 2015 1:02 am

Providing nothing goes wrong here...

by **Good Golly I'm Olly** Sun Jan 11, 2015 1:09 am

That was incredible. Absolutely incredible

by Skyforger Sun Jan 11, 2015 1:20 am

Think I just aged 10 years. What the hell was with that clock management at the end?

Anyone remember our running game against the Broncos earlier this year?

by JDizzle Sun Jan 11, 2015 1:24 am

I would really, really enjoy it if the Panthers some how got the job done tonight. Just to see Sherman combust over Cam's antics. It's a shame the chances of this are disgustingly slim.

by GSC Sun Jan 11, 2015 1:20 pm

Rex Ryan goes to the Bills.

I.e a team with plenty of defense and no offense. This can only end well

by crazy_dave23 Sun Jan 11, 2015 1:38 pm

We could have a trade between Rex and Doug Marone when all is said and done...

by GSC Sun Jan 11, 2015 1:41 pm

Not sure anybody wins in that scenario

by **Good Golly I'm Olly** Sun Jan 11, 2015 2:11 pm

Rex Ryan and Jim Schwartz calling plays on defence. I'm sure those egos will get along just fine

by Number-25 Sun Jan 11, 2015 3:37 pm

Thank goodness we're not going to be subjected to anymore "Flacco is the best QB in the league" chat.

He'll never be Tom Brady.

Re the Bills though... what are they thinking??

Will Mark Sanchez follow?

by **Good Golly I'm Olly** Sun Jan 11, 2015 4:14 pm

Flacco is like the anti Peyton - ridiculously average regular season then becomes a top tier QB in the playoffs. He did play pretty well last night tbf

The Ryan hire just doesn't make much sense on many levels, he isn't a good HC being one but if they're keeping Schwartz around you've got two defensive guys who run completely different schemes and styles of defence. How is that ever gonna work when they're both mega egos.

Buffalo man, forever entrenching themselves in mediocrity

by GSC Sun Jan 11, 2015 5:56 pm

I doubt it. Both know a reunion isn't wise.

by **Good Golly I'm Olly** Sun Jan 11, 2015 6:22 pm

I'm afraid we're gonna have two home team blowouts today folks

by crazy_dave23 Sun Jan 11, 2015 6:43 pm

I love how Fox is desperately trying to compare this to the Ice Bowl...

by **Good Golly I'm Olly** Sun Jan 11, 2015 6:52 pm

Wow Rodgers is evidently worse when he can't scramble, huge turnover too

by crazy_dave23 Sun Jan 11, 2015 6:57 pm

Yeah, I figured you calls of "blowout" were likely a bit optimistic. The first drive was made by Lacy and Rodgers is not himself

by mikeygnfl Sun Jan 11, 2015 7:11 pm

Ice Bowl 2? This is more like Mud Bowl.

by **Good Golly I'm Olly** Sun Jan 11, 2015 7:23 pm

Oh my God just run the ball for the first down there ffs

by **Good Golly I'm Olly** Sun Jan 11, 2015 7:33 pm

He can't even jog downfield on that calf, god I hope Dallas goes through otherwise he'll get massacred next week in Seattle

by BamBam Sun Jan 11, 2015 8:55 pm

4th and 2 and Dez does that Shocked

by **Good Golly I'm Olly** Sun Jan 11, 2015 9:00 pm

That's the single most cowpat call I have ever ever seen. Frak this sport

by GSC Sun Jan 11, 2015 9:01 pm

Or not. Cant use the ground to hold onto it

by **Good Golly I'm Olly** Sun Jan 11, 2015 9:10 pm

He makes like two steps and a reach for the goal line!!!!

by GSC Sun Jan 11, 2015 9:10 pm

Much like last week, one controversial call will take all the attention.

Much like last week, one team blew a very winnable game

by Breadvan Sun Jan 11, 2015 9:10 pm

Dallas have played really well. A bit unlucky...

by GSC Sun Jan 11, 2015 9:11 pm

And drops it. Not a fan of the rule, but applied correctly

by JDizzle Sun Jan 11, 2015 9:12 pm

They just compared Rodgers performance to Tiger winning the 08 US Open on one leg. Just no.

by BamBam Sun Jan 11, 2015 9:13 pm

It's a complete bollox rule but since Calvin that's the way it is.

Try telling anyone who has no idea about the NFL but has ever caught a ball of any sort that wasn't a catch and see the reaction
