2015-2016 NFL thread

And there's the white flag.

It has? And would Seau's story have had such an impact if he knew the risks and decided the reward was worth it? For me, it was tragic because he didn't know and the NFL hid possible evidence from him. Players today have the info to decide if their quality of life is worth their compensation (with the advice of doctors) some player pay even depends on the number of games played, so protocols hurts their back accounts.

He'll, if someone told me I could accumulate wealth for me and future generations , I'd gladly get rocked by Ray Lewis for a few years

This game is just about done. Unless the Eagles conjure some kind of miracle out of thin air Washington wins the game and the Division and will most likely play the Seahawks in the first round of the playoffs. Good luck with that.

Battle of the Washington teams?

Dunno if this was posted already, but "in a follow up interview with Al-Jazeera, Sly recanted the allegations, saying they "are absolutely false and incorrect." Sly said Collins took advantage of him during a vulnerable time in his life following the death of his fiancee".

Battle of the Washington teams?

There can be only one!

[Crissi]

I thought that was zoolander....

Clearly got my landers mixed up. Also time to photoshop Washington gear onto that pic!

Eagles score. Bradford has the pocket awareness of Ray Charles though, he's gotten so many turnovers and almost-turnovers this year.

[KOMO1211]

Guessing he had a brain fart. Mixed up a kneel and a spike. Weird end to a half.

was listening to the game on westwood 1 on the way in to work and they said something to the tune of someone for Philly being offside/in the neutral zone so he snapped it to start the play to get the call and are naturally taught to take a knee to get the play over and get the call but no call was made. (paraphrasing)

Seeing RG3 on the broadcast: Wouldn't it be completely hilarious if Washington plays the Seahawks in the playoffs, Cousins gets injured, and RG3 comes in as the back up and helps them win the game? We'd get another year of QB controversy in Washington!

[apepi]

Steve Harvey was in his ear piece... WE NEED 3 TAKE A KNEE!!

At least he did not throw the ball.

[THE Bigzoman]

It's to protect players from themselves and that locker room peer pressure mentality of sacrificing yourself for the team. If it wasn't enforced players would be expected to brush it off, teammates and coaches might say they respect them in interviews, but they'd mock or belittle them behind closed doors. Look at the shit players (Cutler) still get for leaving a game.

I overlooked team culture.

So, a thought popped in my head today and not too sure it's been mentioned here. Looks like the Madden curse struck again this year. Beckham was on the cover of Madden 16. He ends up in that huge scuffle and now suspension. Giants aren't making the playoffs now. I know people put the injury stigmata on the curse, but wouldn't this also constitute it? Bad misfortune instead of always injury? Just my two cents on the matter that happened to strike me as I was playing it earlier.

Rg3 probably already has his ticket for Houston or Dallas on reserve

Nah, it's about injury ruining their season. This was too late for a playoff missing team to matter. Also this was like the third time this year Norman got in a fight with a receiver, nothing unlucky about it.

[THE Bigzoman]

Frunken, I just saw the bruised uterus jokes directed at Cutler. Wow.

[FobManX]

Wow....just unbelievable. Never thought this team would win the division this year. Incredible growth shown by Cousins. That kneel at the end of the half was just ridiculously stupid but he balled out in the 2nd half. Over 350 yards and 4 TDs in the biggest game of his career.

I'm just so happy. Finally I can say I'm a Redskins fan and not be ashamed. We dominated them. Yeah they may have dropped some balls but we also left some points on the board. Big game on the road and we stepped up on the big stage.

I can't sleep. Way too excited. HAIL TO THE REDSKINS! YOU LIKE THAT?

I hate Washington's ownership, but you, as a fan, deserve everything the team is doing right now. I hope you enjoy yourself the coming weeks, cause you clearly support your team and you never know what kind of crazy stuff happens in the playoffs.

I'm going into these afternoon games thinking the Jets will probably beat the Patriots, but really REALLY hoping the Patriots win anyway.

So many players hurt though. Chung, McCourty, Edelman, Amendola out, that's 4 starters not counting the 17 people on IR. Good luck stopping Marshall and Decker with such a beat up secondary or attacking that good defense with pretty much every healthy receiver out. >.<

Nooooooooooooooo, Vollmer down. For the love of..... Can we PLEASE get at least ONE fucking game without an injury.

jets winning would put the pressure on pittsburgh. which would you rather face in the playoffs?

RG3 has been inactive all year I think. If a backup comes in it'll be Colt McCoy. RG3 is done in Washington.

Washington clinched the division without beating a team with a winning record.

[ProphetFlume]

Also if the Texans win that would guarantee every playoff team having a winning record.
