2019 NFL Thread v. Chiefs are Champs, Missouri rules the sports world

[TAC]

Makes sense.

[jammindude]

Ian Rappaport just tweeted that his source is saying that the physical went well.

You guys, when this first broke, I laughed because I thought there was absolutely NO WAY.   

But in less than 12 hours, I have become convinced that Beast Mode will be in the house on Sunday.   In other news, we also resigned Robert Turbin (former Seahawk and Marshawn's old backup).  I didn't think this game could get more interesting, but this is absolutely going to be the game of the year.

[jammindude]

.....aaaaaaand Marshawn’s agent just tweeted that it’s a done deal.

That happened REALLY REALLY fast!!!

[Cool Chris]

I had a feeling it would happen once it broke they were talking, but damn yes that was crazy fast!

[King Puppies and the Acid Guppies]

Maybe the 9ers should resign Deion Sanders...

Obviously a desperation move.  But one that makes sense.  Man is this weekend going to be interesting.  4 teams legitimately vying for the #1 seed in the NFC.  3 games will decide it.  It's going to be a really fun football weekend.

[KevShmev]

I can't imagine GB or NO losing (since the teams they are playing are arguably the two worst over the last month), so if we can assume for the sake of argument that they both win, if SF wins:

1. SF
2. GB
3. NO
4. NFC East winner
5. Sea
6. Minn

If Sea wins:

1. GB
2. NO
3. Sea
4. NFC East winner
5. SF
6. Minn

[bosk1]

I can't imagine GB or NO losing

I hear you.  But just saying, nobody saw SF losing to Atlanta last week either, so you never know.

[Architeuthis]

Even with Beast Mode and Turbin,  I'm still worried for the Seahawks. The 49ers are not going to be intimidated by players coming out of retirement or inactivity that are likely out of football shape.  I hope I'm wrong,  but Seattle's o-line got exposed during the Cardinals game and Russel Wilson had no protection.  It will be hard for Lynch to find any openings to slip through.  I am glad the game got moved to prime time this coming Sunday, the Seahawks seem to step up their game. 

[Dublagent66]

Week 17 will answer a lot of questions.  The complicated math will answer all the rest.  Carry on my fellow football fans. 

[KevShmev]

It's hilarious seeing dopes who obviously never saw John Elway play, bitch about him being named as one of the 10 greatest quarterbacks ever. 

FYI, the 10 QB's who made that NFL 100 list are:

Sammy Baugh
Tom Brady
John Elway
Brett Favre
Otto Graham
Peyton Manning
Dan Marino
Joe Montana
Roger Staubach
Johnny Unitas

[DragonAttack]

^
Just those who like to hate debate for the sake of debating....

Heck, I'd take Favre out and insert either Bradshaw or Starr.

And Baugh would get my pick as best overall player ever (I am taking into account the era and segregation, just going by the numbers)

[Cool Chris]

Again I'm by no means a football historian but that list looks fine to me. Brees was the wildcard for me, considering just looking at stats he is at the top or near it in many categories. It's crazy to see when QBs like Baugh and Joe Namath have more INTs than TDs.

Moving the Seahawks/Niners game to SNF is interesting in that both teams will know exactly what they are playing for. If Saints and Packers both win as they should, Niners paying for a much bigger swing with either #1/bye or #5 at Philly/Dallas than Hawks playing for #3 hosting Vikings or #5 at Philly/Dallas.

Johnny U was before my time but as a Baltimore Colts fan growing up I was always very aware of who he was and what he did on the field. And he was loyal to his fans in Baltimore above anything else. Dude had integrity above and beyond anything that we see these days.

Seriously? "Dopes"?  I saw Elway play, and a lot.  I don't know that he's a lock to be on that list.   I have Fran Tarkenton and Terry Bradshaw on there; I don't know who I remove, but Elway, Favre, and Marino are candidates.

[KevShmev]

If you saw Elway play, then you are not a dope "who obviously never saw John Elway play."

As much as I like fantasy football, far too many people now think FF stats tell the tale as to who is better than who, without considering context, coaching, surrounding talent and a myriad of other factors.

Haha, okay.   .  I would have thought the "dope" applied to the conclusion, but I'll take that (and he's certainly ONE of the greats, there's no denying.)

[King Postwhore]

Way to blow it Pat's.  Poetic.

[El Barto]

Bad game for the Patriot's D to shit the bed.

[Dream Team]

Besides the fact that NE losing their bye to Miami is awesome and hilarious, but I’m really happy for Ryan Fitzpatrick. Seems like a really cool dude who just goes with the flow but that guy is a gamer.

[eric42434224]

Love my Dolphins.  No tanking here.  They are building a foundation with a new culture, and hopefully will build on it with good picks.  Fitzmagic is fun to watch.  Even better is my In Laws are from Boston and huge Pats fans.
I know it could all fall apart but I am very impressed with the Fins this year, and have hope for the future.

[TheCountOfNYC]

I can’t believe I’m saying this, but thank you Miami!

[King Postwhore]

Seeing your responses tells me how spoiled we are in N.E.

It affects so many outside of N.E. 

[TAC]

Just finished watching on tape delay. Patriots WTF??

That was pitiful.

Fucking El Barto carved up the Pats secondary.

[King Postwhore]

El Barto's beard is better. No joke.

[KevShmev]

The offense is just as much to blame.  The defense only allowed 20 points on the day.  That pick-6 Brady threw was awful and the difference in the game, but I know we can never blame him for anything...

[mike099]

NE better get it together next week because the Titans can win if the offense and defense both play well in the same game.  They have been inconsistent all year.
 

[KevShmev]

Philly is trying like hell to blow the NFC East.  Would almost be funny to see after the way they celebrated the win over Dallas last week, but seeing the Cowboys back into the playoffs would be gross.

[King Postwhore]

100%  the whole season the blame pie leans to the offense.

Does it really matter. Going to KC or Ravens they will lose.

[Destiny Of Chaos]

Haven't posted in this thread much this year, but I would be remiss if I didn't acknowledge how proud I am of Carson Wentz and the Eagles. I know the division was trash, but considering how many people were injured this year for them to win 4 straight and make the playoffs for a 3rd straight year is a hell of an accomplishment.

Bring on the 49ers or Seahawks, and a long week of hearing how the Eagles will have no chance to win the game.

[KevShmev]

Kitchens fired in Cleveland already.

Guess that means Baker Mayfield will get his 4th head coach to start his 3rd NFL season.

[El Barto]

Brady's entire first half was awful. I put the loss on the D, though. They could never make the stop when they needed to.

[King Postwhore]

Can't lean on one side El Barto when you expect to win it all every year.

Both are at fault.  I know it's pre mature to say this but no bye, no home game in the second round with the offense not carrying their load spells doom this year.

It is what it is.

[El Barto]

Damn. Did they even let him in the locker-room, or did they just sack him on the sideline and have him escorted out?

(When Ian Anderson wanted two members of Tull fired he had their manager sack them before boarding their flight home. "Hey, wait a minute now. This plane's for bandmembers only. )
