2016-2017 NFL Thread

You should do this every season if possible of course. On a unrelated note, anyone want to venture a guess at which team(s) will surprise next season or crumble? Browns and 49ers not counting.

[Vetali]

I mean everyone deserves a 2nd shot, but running away after just 1 game is kinda iffy, even if he did clash a bit with Saban

I don't blame him for leaving Bama after one game. If somebody calls you and wants you to go to the NFL you take it unless the pay is worse.

Unless you're the 49'ers and lose your best coach to Michigan cause your ownership sucks lol

Sarkisian probably shouldn't drink at all, you know, let alone a second shot.

Gigapixel image of the stadium from about 5PM, never seen one of these before and for an event like that it is pretty neat, you can spot a few people around but just seeing the stadium with that clarity and from all around is really cool. Also zoomed in on someone being as close to another Superbowl as he will ever be

Bengals will have another losing season.

O-Line is awful as is, but losing Kevin Zeitler in FA will make it even worse.

Marvin will continue to giggle in press conferences.

Right now, nothing happened in the off season yet, fresh off the current season: Bears.

Picking third, had a TON of injuries, but played hard pretty much all season. I think with some good work this off season, and the reliable if unspectacular coaching staff they have, I think they can surprise next season (if they have less injuries).

Cool shit. (I also saw what you did there )

Chargers and Saints for losing teams. Chargers had way too many injuries and the hardest division this year (Which might not change, but without injuries they can put some wins together in division and feast outside of it.) Saints need just a 20th ranked defense and I think they go positive and can be dangerous in the playoffs like Flacons were this year (SB notwithstanding).

Also I think the Titans can be very dangerous next year, they were a winning team, showed flashes of a greatness and have a really good RB and at worst a solid QB. Can’t really call them a surprise though, but I could easily see them winning the division and maybe even going 12-4+ so that would be a pretty big step up.

Just wait until Dak and Zeke smash your face in *shakes fist*

Those were fun to read. I totally forgot about this thread /shame.

So mean.

[xskarma]

For this next segment it's probably not a good idea to laugh too hard at others, cause you are probably in here yourself too. (My prediction is probably the worst though)



Famous last words:


Crissi, 2nd post in the thread

Id put the odds more on how likely Romo is to get injuried again. He gets inhured, we tank.

WskyDK before Blount rushed for 1k yards and a league leading 18 TD's

Blount has gotta go though. I've never liked how he hits the back of the line and just stops doing anything.

xskarma

Adam Gase is set up to fail this way. He's expected to take an older, contract heavy roster with less depth and win immediately, and win big. He'll need to be a spectacular coach to satisfy those demands.

Northern Goblin, before Weddle ended up in Baltimore

Knowing our luck, would be Weddle not coming to Oakland.

Northern Goblin

Dallas is going to suck for a while then

xskarma

Also, apparently the Titans have "significant interest" to trade the no. 1 pick. Yeah, right.

Northern Goblin, with the best prediction that didn't actually come true

Prediction: Brent Grimes will hire a divorce lawyer this season.

Grube

Chiefs are more likely to fall off than Denver. Just purely based on schedule, Denver won't fall off much if at all in wins (11-12 wins).

THE Bigzoman

I think Sanchez will be a serviceable QB for you all.

Packers01

The Lions will be trash again but thats usually nothing new.

Gumboy

I think this is going to be Wilson's leap year and he will be mvp.

apepi

It has been too slow, I almost miss deflategate.

xskarma

Shines: Jaguars

THE Bigzoman going 4 out of 8 with the spectacular scatter shot

I guess now is as good a time as ever to break out division predictions:

draynay

I liked the Bears signings way better than the Giants.

xskarma

Starting to get problematic for the Cowboys now. Can't go into the season with just Romo and a rookie like Dak Prescott.

THE Bigzoman on league leading TD receiver Jordy Nelson

Jordy isn't going to be 100% one year off a torn ACL

THE Bigzoman

Why is Matt Ryan ranked above Dalton? Christ.

Packers01 weighing in too

Matty melt is one of the most overrated QB's I can remember.

Faltemer going 5 for 8, with the Cardinals in the Superbowl

My guess for eventual record will only go on teams that I see making the playoffs, and I’ll put thoughts on a few of the choices but definitely not all.

Grube, also going 5 for 8, with the Falcons in last place in the NFC South

Just so I can see how wrong I am at the end of the year:

xskarma with the jinx

If I had to pick a surprise this year I'd probably pick the Bills doing well.

dwightyo39 in August, when things were about to get much worse

Dear Buffalo, Stop being dumb assholes. Sincerely, A Bills Fan

Alfakennyone before Joey Bosa had a 10,5 sack season and won DROY

Joey Busta Watch, he will reenter next year and drop to the 3rd round.

xskarma should probably not trust his gut ever again

Falcons are secretly my team that will just bottom out this year for no apparent reason and just stink, Julio or no Julio. Gut feeling, nothing else.

SEASON START


Fencers before the Falcons made the Superbowl

I don't think the Falcons are going anywhere special this year.

4KhazModan drops by

I don't wanna overreact, but the Eagles are gonna win the superbowl.

Piglord doesn't get his wish

Please lord, don't let this game go into overtime.

Vetali in the next post has more luck

I'll take a tie tbh

Serpha before Brady went undefeated 12 games without Gronk and won the Superbowl

Brady without Gronkowski is...plain.

xskarma talking playoffs, on the last day of October

Seems pretty clear that both the Cowboys and Philly will make it there

Northern Goblin, before Miami made the playoffs

I certainly don't see anyone from the east or south claiming a wildcard spot

Denkou, about the Packers

Unless they pull off a miracle and win 7 of the last 8 or something, I suspect someone is getting fired this offseason.

Netherfall, just before the Packers demolished the Seahawks

Depends on what Seattle team decides to show up today really.

xskarma, before the Falcons blew out the Rams 42-14

Seriously. Falcons on the road, late in the season, bad defense, iffy play lately, major players hurt. That's exactly the kind of game where the Rams will suddenly show up and cause the upset.

xskarma, about the playoffs

Packers I think don't have enough to beat the Cowboys unless the stars aligned.

Aussiedude, almost nailing it in the first week of January. Almost.

AFC winner : Patriots NFC winner : Falcons.. Superbowl winner ATLANTA FALCONS.. Julio Jones 2 Touchdowns

[Dormie]

Dak is the next Kaep or RG3 IMO.

[Pendulous]

Dak is the next Kaep or RG3 IMO.

No, he doesn't try to run the ball every play.

[draynay]

I still like the bears free agency better than the giants, too bad their owner is Satan and nobody will sign there any more.

[Tyrgannus]

I really need to post more next season, didn't make it.

[apepi]

I really need to post more next season, didn't make it.

Yeah, I did not make nearly that often, I need to up my shitposting.

@xskarma Thanks man this was great read. Apepi you talking about yourself in third person a lot.

[Crackleslap]

Lets be real my post about Cowboys losing to Giants was fairly obvious was gonna happen! :P

I also had in white, and small writing that I would poison @xskarma in his sleep if the patriots won. No one saw, but I did mention it! :P - Better look out!

@xskarma Nah if the scumlords patriots win I'll respect the outcome.

But I'll still poison you in your sleep.
