General Discussion of the NFL

[Jon]

I've been kind of waiting for this thread to be made so...



The Seahawks had better get their "O" line right, real quick!

They looked good this week but that was the Lions they played...2 sacks in the first quarter of a predominately running game??

I wouldn't sell R.Wilson any life or health insurance.


BTW....OUCH!!!! Got facemask??

[Sai Sheb]

Sorry Jon Patriots all the way!

[Still Servant]

Is this one of those start-up leagues? I've never heard of it.

Sorry Jon Patriots all the way!

Then I guess you're pretty happy the Giants were eliminated, huh? lol lol

[ke7285]

I think it is Green Bay and New England Super Bowl, Patriot's win. Yes the Lions have a lot of bad call's go against them the past few year's, in the first picture the ref is looking straight at the play, this is why I don't watch much NFL anymore. In my 55 year's the lions played in 12 playoff game's winning only 1 the 91-92 season against the Cowboys.

Yeah, can't believe we didn't already have a thread like this tbh. Shame on us.

I'm a Packers fan, but I think the odds are stacked against us winning this SB. We're pretty much invincible on offense, but our defense has more holes than swiss cheese. The only reason we weren't down to the Giants early yesterday was because Beckham decided to come out with hands of stone and Eli overthrew a couple of passes.

That's not going to happen with surgeons like Brady or Roethlisberger.

None of those passes were overthrown. This is the NFL, you have to catch every single one of those passes. Brown doesn't drop those. That could have been a very different game if those balls were caught early.

Giants or packers don't make no odds... NE win... I was about 8/9 years old when my Big brother said let's put a bet on the SB... ok I said(not knowing what it was) so the money went on NE and they won, meaning we won £75 each great win... since then I've been a fan of NE and the game, not many fans this side if the pond... I also support Tottenham Hotspur who are having a retractable pitch put in so we can host NFL games next season...

Not talking about the dropped passes; there were 1 or 2 sideline throws were Eli was just a hair off.

Our CBs got smoked in the first Quarter but they adjusted uncharacteristically well over the course of the game.

How much money did they make you when they got smoked by Eli Manning and the Giants in back to back attended SBs?

I too am a Pats fan (and isn't it great being a fan of a cold weather team, when of the 8 games each year, the cheerleaders have to bundle up for 6 of them?).

People in this area are taking Houston WAY too lightly and the spread is outlandish (16 1/2 points????).

I wouldn't be surprised to see Pittsburgh, Seattle or GB win the SB (I'm not familiar enough with KC, Dallas, Atlanta this year to have much of an opinion on them (other than to say that any team that makes the NFL playoffs is a threat)). I would be surprised to see Houston win the SB, but not surprised to see them win this week.

[fernandito]

The one thing all teams who have defeated the Patriots in the post season have in common: relentless pash rush. Great pash rush like the one Houston currently possesses.

You have to make Brady feel uncomfortable in the pocket quickly and early if you're to have any kind of success.

And you don't have to go for gold every time. Hit him. Bump him. Push him. It adds up.

Says the guy whose team got beat both of those years by the same Giants team.

[DoctorZaius]

I too am a Pats fan (and isn't it great being a fan of a cold weather team, when of the 8 games each year, the cheerleaders have to bundle up for 6 of them?).

People in this area are taking Houston WAY too lightly and the spread is outlandish (16 1/2 points????).

I wouldn't be surprised to see Pittsburgh, Seattle or GB win the SB (I'm not familiar enough with KC, Dallas, Atlanta this year to have much of an opinion on them (other than to say that any team that makes the NFL playoffs is a threat)). I would be surprised to see Houston win the SB, but not surprised to see them win this week.

Time for you to move out of state dude. Only way that Houston even makes it competitive is if Bill decides to take it easy on his protege. I will give up my season tickets if the Patriots lose this week. No way that Houston is coming to Foxboro and winning. Pittsburgh and KC, now we are talking a game.

[fernandito]

Poor Texans. No one is giving them a chance in hell

[St. Troy]

Houston has a damn good defense; very possible that the Pats max out at 20 points - if Osweiller plays like he did last week, they make a few plays, we have a game.

I agree, it doesn't look great, but as Feev noted above, the way to beat the Pats over the years is pash rush.

The only way I could see the Texans winning is if Clooney just takes over. He has the kind of talent to break your game. If he does, Texans have a chance.

As in George "Clooney." It would have to be a movie - this is reality.

[Sai Sheb]

Guys I can't see Tex doing this, they just don't seem organized enough! Houston do have a good defense line but I don't see their attack as one to worry even a half steady defense! I see NE and GB final, very close but NE (with their persistent ways) winning by 7 in the last quarter...

[St. Troy]

Well, that (NE/Houston) did NOT feel like an 18 point win...

[Sai Sheb]

NE all the way...

[fernandito]

HOW BOUT THEM PACKERS BABYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY

[Still Servant]

HOW BOUT THEM PACKERS BABYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY

Good win. Made my day. Now I can relax for the rest of the playoffs.
