2017 NFL thread v. Patriots Dynasty

[TAC]

The Pats' O-Line has not gelled yet. They haven't really been very good at all. They will be severely tested tomorrow against Texas.

Cannon may be out as well and that's Brady's backside protection.

I thought Black Biff Stadler was Brady's backside protection.

I'm blonde tonight.  That went right over my head like a bad snap.

Interesting to see the response to Trump's comments at Wembley. The Browns owner, Jimmy Haslam, is apparently going to issue a response to Trump shortly.

As for the Browns themselves, I'm hopeful the promise shown against the Steelers in week one will come to fruition in this evening's game against the Colts. Garrett is out running at Lucas Oil Field but I imagine he'll be kept back for next week or the week after.

How many points will the Jags score today before Flacco completes a pass?

[KevShmev]

It always get glossed over, but if you look it up, since winning the Super Bowl, Flacco has mostly been dog shit.  If I had to rank the 32 starting QBs right now, he wouldn't make the top 20.

I had a feeling that the Ravens would come back to Earth eventually once they played a real team, but I didn't think it would be today

They just made a mockery of my power rankings, since I had them 7th this week.

What a complete and total embarrassment.

This'll be the first Bears game I start watching (when they're not playing the Packers) today. I heard that the Steelers won't even take the field during the anthem; I'm interested in seeing what exactly they do.

[KevShmev]

I'm interested in the games starting so we can enjoy the games... *[SNIP] - No Politics, see rule 13.*

Oh jeez, can we take this to the P/R and leave this thread to just football?

This. No politics outside the P/R forum. If you wish to discuss the events regarding the anthem protests, do it there.

That's fine...provided you keep snipping the posts before mine and Splent's that brought this up.

[RoeDent]

Right. Football. Jacksonville. Great in week 1, abysmal in week 2, great again in Wembley in week 3.

[splent]

Sorry bout that.

[Dr. DTVT]

The Steelers are playing bad, but they haven't been Joe Flacco bad at least.

And Kizer wasn't Flacco bad, either. So there's that.

[King Postwhore]

Thank God for a 40 year old QB.

[Destiny Of Chaos]

I'll never forget how excited I was when I learned that the Browns were coming to Baltimore and for the first time in my 12 years on earth, I'd have a true home team to enjoy and cheer for. The Ravens were everything that I could ever hope for. I spent hundreds if not thousands of dollars supporting them over the past 20 plus years. I never could have imagined that I would no longer be a fan.

[SNIP] - See Rule 13.

Thanks for the many great memories and the two great Super Bowl seasons, but I'm now a free agent fan, in pursuit of a team that will not tolerate this foolishness. If no such team exists, then so be it.

I loved my Ravens....but some things are more important than football. I am a vet and a proud patriot, and I deserve better. We all do.

Rule 13?

[KevShmev]

Bad day for NFL officials:

-Had no clue what the rule was on the batted ball play in the Bears/Steelers game.
-Threw a ridiculous flag on Von Miller for him doing the help you up fake out thing, which he and the Bill were both laughing about.
-Botched the end of Falcons/Lions.

Just ugly.

[SystematicThought]

I thought they made the right call at the end of the Lions game

[KevShmev]

I thought they made the right call at the end of the Lions game

Technically, they did, but had they got the call right on the field, the Lions would have at least had a slim shot to get off one more play. I get that is a bang-bang play, but the Lions really got the short end of the stick there.

Also, the rule itself is moronic. Had Tate gone to the ground in the end zone and not maintained control, it would have been an incompletion, but since he held on to it, it's a catch and not a touchdown.  It's like, the play is over, but it's really not.  It makes no sense.

[PowerSlave]

I didn't watch the lions game, but from what I seen I don't think that there should have been a 10 second run off. I'm saying that with very little information, though.

Rule 13?

Exactly, and he knows it. We already almost got into it earlier in the thread. Man I bet he's pissed. I could go on more in detail but rule 13

[dparrott]

Looks like the Raiders and Seahawks were more concerned about ***rule 13*** than playing football.  WTF guys?

Most of my football teams looked bad this week.  Two college, two pro, all terrible.
