2016-2017 NFL Thread

Nervous as all hell for the Lions - Bears game tomorrow. On paper it should be a cake walk but Barkley hasn't been bad and a good day by his receivers could be the difference.

Yeah I feel the same way about Skins-Eagles. We dominated the Eagles last time but the score was close because of a pick 6 and KR TD. Our D is just so bad we give every O a chance and division games are always tough to call.

Forgot this was an early game. That really scares me because of Denver's (and west coast teams in general) history of east coast early games.

Most exciting thing today is Jordan Norwood is inactive! Hopefully that means Sunshine gets on the field more.

Salary cap is being increased by 10 million next year. Guess that means the Browns and Jags will have to way overpay someone to reach the cap floor.

Great start to the game, Ward badly missed 3 tackles out of 11 plays, got burned and should have had PI against time, Davis playing horribly. Booker completely missed a block, Forsett next drive actually gets yards then fumbles and the Titans start in FG range. On the bright side, Lynch isn't playing.

[MAGAmobile]

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

[Grube]

I wonder when Booker is going to stop just running into the backs of the o-line as fast as he can.

This is kind of comical, block in the back on a fair catch. Then Sanders of all people drops a big gain, then Latimer happens.

TJ Ward is up to like 5 missed tackles so far.

Cool now Harry Douglas launched himself head first into CHJs knee. Won't be surprised if Talib ends up getting ejected at some point in this game now.

[Pendulous]

Just woke up in time to see Marcus Mariota ru nfaster than his running backs. Sorry Grube, being a KC fan and wanting to see the Titans do well, have to hope for a Denver loss today.

Well, there's some drama. Harry Douglas makes a low block on Chris Harris, Aquib Talib next play goes after Douglas. Spends a couple plays off the field and got a penalty for his trouble.

https://twitter.com/sportscast_thn/s...26830473232384 That was a cheap shot, not a block.

Talib should have kept it on the field, or gone up in the booth and thrown Dan Fouts out it. This guy is worse than Phil Simms.

I want the Titans to win the South anyway, and they are the type of team that can make a run in the playoffs.

I wonder how many times holding has killed drives this year, well with an assist from Booker staying in bounds because knowing how much times is left on the clock is hard and all.

[Northern Goblin]

You know what we've lacked this season?

DEFLATEGATE DRAMA

Get the popcorn folks.

[Grube]

Not sure if Booker or Garcia is more of a liability in pass protection. One runs into o-lineman, other looks around confused. Would at least be funny bad if that combined with Okung false starts and Stephenson holds didn't seem to ruin drives every game.

The dropoff from CJ to Booker has been insane. Booker has even fell flat on his face while running a route today. Forsett, outside of the fumble has actually been good.

Todd Davis is probably out, leaves just 2 ILBs.

Wow they finally let Dixon do a fake punt.

[Pendulous]

I still don't get Forsett being traded around so much. He's been on like four teams this year.

[xskarma]

Watching Redzone Channel. Every time the Denver-Titans game comes up it seems like Denver is shooting themselves in the foot on offense. Don't like this at all, this will mean Denver is just ridiculously fired up next week if they don't turn it around. They'd be fired up for the Patriots anyway, but if they continue to lose to the Titans like this they'll want to show something extra.

[Grube]

I've decided Kubiak is actually insane. Something is working? Stop doing it. Something isn't working? Keep calling it until it works. It is either that, dropped passes or o-line penalties. At least the defense made adjustments (well kind of forced with Anderson replacing Davis), too bad the offense never does.

Raymond is SO MUCH better than Norwood. If the punt return team could stop being penalized every other punt they would be really good.

[Pendulous]

Siemian is doing pretty damn good given the circumstances. Seems like he's had to scramble every play.

- - - Updated - - -

Le'Veon Bell is having the best game of his career.

Emmanuel Sanders' celebration was not a penalty. God what the fuck is wrong with these rules? Also the commentators not realizing he was imitating a baseball pitch...

[Grube]

Seems like half of the big plays Siemian makes is him running for his life. Happens when you have Okung next to nothing at LG and a bad RT and you won't chip pass rushers.

Hey a celebration penalty. Thanks No fun League. Hopefully not kicking that FG doesn't end up being the difference in this game.

Dan Fouts and and Ian Eagle are just extra special. At least the penalty helped some on field position.

Also it is insane how much better the run defense has been with Zaire Anderson playing instead of Todd Davis. Outplayed him big time in preseason, but barely ever gets to play.

[xskarma]

Dan Fouts and and Ian Eagle are just extra special.

Only Solomon Wilcox irks me more when he commentates. Those 2 are the worst. At least Wilcox is just dumb, Fouts and Eagle are just offensively bad at times.

[Vetali]

This Eagles Redskins game is sloppy, but entertaining. Eagles can't keep longsnappers alive and its created some interesting moments.

[Skayaq]

It just wouldn't be a Lions game if they weren't behind deep in the fourth quarter.

Stafford taketh and Stafford giveth.

Stafford with like a 20 yard scramble for a TD after throwing a pick 6 the last possession.

[Northern Goblin]

Eagles are now hosting long snapper tryouts on the sidelines.

[Grube]

Kubiak is still insane, passing game working, lets run it even though it hasn't worked and lose 2 yards. Luckily Siemian and the receivers are converting stuff afterwards.

Haha play action inside the 10 when you can't run and your QB is running for his life. Great play call.

And Bennie and not the catch showed up again. Had the 3rd down drop in OT against the Chiefs, should have caught that one. Not kicking the FG earlier is also the difference in the game right now, seems to always work out like that.

[Pendulous]

Yeah, if Denver loses it's zero on Siemian. Dude is making good throws and running for his life the whole time.

Stafford with a rushing TD late in the fourth quarter to go ahead of Chicago. Because of course.
