2018 NFL Thread - The Dynasty

[KevShmev]

There is very little hate for Russell Wilson, a segment of 49ers fans notwithstanding.  He is well-liked and well-respected by most, largely because he is a great player and a classic individual.

[TAC]

I like Russel Wilson.

[King Postwhore]

Thank you NFL owners for this arena bowl football I'm watching in Miami today.

[KevShmev]

After looking like the '99 Rams for a better of a month, tearing defenses apart left and right, the Saints have now scored 13 points in the last six quarters.

[El Barto]

Referees continue to suck ass. I don't know how challenging a fumble recovery after a big scrum works, but that was definitely Patriot's ball.

And yeah, I'm wondering if Dallas broke the Saints.

Dolphins are having to use motion on their punts now. 

[King Postwhore]

Man the Pats are trying to give this game away.

1.  Missed extra point.
2.  Not getting a Field Goal  before halftime.
3.  Missed Field Goal.

[King Postwhore]

Are you fucking kidding me?

[El Barto]

Are you fucking kidding me?

Patriots aren't good tacklers. They had a TE in instead of a safety. Miami executed that perfectly, and made some great blocks.

Go Baltimore!

Crazy to think that with Houston and New England going down, if Baltimore pulls off the upset, the Chargers would be able to win their way to home field advantage.

[King Postwhore]

Watching that game right now!

[KevShmev]

Go Dolphins!!

This Ravens/Chiefs is the best game of the season.

[King Postwhore]

Well, not this year for the Pats.  Their play won't get them by the Divisional round 

[TAC]

That was pathetic.

[Dream Team]

How can Tomlin possibly defend this latest gaffe?? Refusing to use his timeouts while Oak marched for the go-ahead score. Resulted in a field goal on a slippery field instead of having plenty of time to try for a TD. I HATE Tomlin, and I HATE kickers.

[KevShmev]

Just be happy your head coach isn't Vance Joseph.  If he's brought back next season, Elway is officially out of his mind.

[King Postwhore]

You two make me feel better.   Lol

[KevShmev]

The Steelers are in real trouble.  They always struggle against the Patriots anyway, and Belichick is gonna be in a foul mood this week, relative to his normal foulness.

[TheCountOfNYC]

Right now the Chiefs and Chargers look like the class of the AFC.

You want me to send you his Monday interview he does weekly on a local sports radio? Lol

[KevShmev]

Haha, I will pass. I already deal with two cranky older men at work every day...don't need a third on a Monday.

[TheCountOfNYC]

If Cleveland wins out, they could steal the NFC North, and it's a legitimate possibility too. Baltimore and Pittsburgh have tough schedules. Should the Ravens go 1-1 over the next two weeks against the Buccaneers and Chargers, they'll be 8-7 going into their Week 17 showdown against the Browns. Meanwhile, the Steelers could easily go 0-2 against the Patriots and Saints, putting them at 7-7-1 with a game against Cincinnati to finish out the season. The Browns on the other hand have games against the Broncos and Bengals and could realistically go 2-0, putting them at 7-7-1 with the aforementioned game against the Ravens standing in between them and a chance at the playoffs. If Cleveland beats Baltimore and Cincinnati decides to play spoiler to Pittsburgh, the Browns are the 2018 AFC North Champions at 8-7-1.

[Stadler]

Pete gets a pass up here because of his youthful enthusiasm and general likeability (unlike say a Belichick). Bringing a city its first major sports championship in almost 40 years also helps.

And yet that’s exactly why Belichick is loved in New England. 

[King Postwhore]

Haha, I will pass. I already deal with two cranky older men at work every day...don't need a third on a Monday.

 

You'd laugh so hard.  He's not very talkative on a radio show when they lose.  lol

To the Dolphins, this will be the highlight of their season.

For the Patriots, this will be an afterthought for what looks to be another deep playoff run.

I'm not sure how deep this year DOC.  There is something off this yard with the team which makes 9-4 seem good but they can't win on the road.  They might not get the 2 seed.

I'm with Doc here. NE's trouble will come in the ACG. Unless they seriously blunder (like yesterday) they'll still have a first round bye. They'll play up for the divisional game. The problem is if they have to go to KC. Of the remaining teams LAC are the only one that are really concerning, and @KC.

Even better yet, he admitted post game that Ben had been cleared to go back out and play and Tomlin kept him out for a whole series before sending him back in because they were in the "flow of the game".... What. The. Heck. By flow of the game I guess he means Dobbs trying not to get completely dominated out there...

That might be one of the dumbest things he's done and furthermore - he admitted it  If he hadn't of said that, we wouldn't even have known.

As for the kicker, I honestly laughed when Boswell fell. He's been so bad this year and the team has been dragging their feet to get a new kicker in there for some mysterious reason. This should (hopefully) force their hand.

[King Postwhore]

While that is a high percentage, the Texans can win out and we lose one and The Pats are in the wildcard game.

They have the Jets, Eagles & Jaguars.

[cramx3]

Are you fucking kidding me?

I was flying home yesterday and missed any football but OMG that ending was insane  but

this.  I wouldn't pick the Pats to win it all right now, but they are still primed for a deep run.

If you meant "classy," that is a word that should NEVER be used in conjunction with Wilson.  I wouldn't be able to stand the dude if he was playing for my team.  The NFL will be better off the day he stops playing.

[TAC]

Really? I'm not aware of much baggage with him.

[Samsara]

Really? I'm not aware of much baggage with him.

Same. Care to elaborate, bosk?

[Destiny Of Chaos]

Me neither. Seems to be a class act. Spends his off day at the children's hospital. And I love how he's always wearing the team's gear, and finishes each interview with "Go Hawks".

[TAC]

A quick internet search yields a story that his first wife cheated on him with Golden Tate.

I knew about that. But I am unaware of anything negative he personally has done. Then again, everyone has their skeletons...
