2016 NFL Thread

Thanksgiving Picks:

Vikings > Lions (This will be close)
Dallas > Redskins (Dallas is too dominant upfront)
Pit > Indy (Should be a close game)
 
A lot of up and down calls in the Lions vs Vikings Game. Bradford has been hot with 12 TD's and only 2 Picks all year. Lions prevail again and get the W down the stretch. Man that was one hell of a football game to start off ball on Thanksgiving.

Dallas control's the clock, even with Cousins looking sharp in the 2nd half they just continue to look good no both sides of the ball. The dallas defense which was a huge ? to start the season has looked great. Sean Lee has really spearheaded that defense and has them fired up. The atmosphere in the cowboy stadium is loud and the fans are really into this year as they go 10-1. Looking very sharp with a very good O-line, if not the best in the NFL.

Luck is out vs Pittsburgh tonight. Lets hope the Steelers can get a road W!!!
 
Cowboys are gonna be so hard to beat in the playoffs. They dominate on the ground and control the clock no matter who the defense is

What about your eagles? FYI..We are in one of the two best divisions in football. NFC east and AFc west. We just happen to be the best in the NFL.

You are slowly but surely, single-handedly making me dislike the cowboys more than the patriots.

Have you seen me repeatedly talking about how the Eagles are the greatest team to ever grace the Earth? No? Guess it's not a relevant assertion on your part.

NFC East has had an easy schedule all of the way around. Eagles have had the toughest of the 4, if you're asking.

I'm not even saying the Boys haven't been playing good football, but they certainly haven't been playing great teams. I dare you to attempt to prove otherwise.
 
Steelers go for two in a row browns and colts minus luck. Lol. Signature win for Steelers this year KC. Lol

Eat a dick whom in hear said the Steelers are playing great? we just all hate you, not necessarily the cowboys, but you!!!
 
Ill take 6-5 right now..
Remember the Steelers won the SB Going into the playoffs as a wildcard not too long ago.
They can easily gain some momentum as the season goes on

we play
Giants Bills Bengals
Cleveland
Ravens

We should beat Cleveland and Baltimore at home (we always lose @ Baltimore)
Bills and Bengals on the road will be a challenge but win able.
Giants are hit or miss. they could easily run the table and make the playoffs with ease and lead the AFC North, but again time will tell.
we just need to stay healthy going into the playoffs.

Thanks for proving my point? Cowboys had one of the easiest planned schedules in the NFL this year, and even the games that should have been tough were not because those teams (GB, PIT, etc.) have been playing poorly.
 
The schedule is what it is. Most teams like the eagles would have lost more than 1 with our schedule.

No way to know that, considering their schedule was significantly more challenging.

ATL
MIN (when they were unbeatable)
SEA (in SEA)
etc.


What was your teams most challenging game, a notably weak Steelers team that you barely eked out a win against? The same Steelers team the Eagles smashed 34-3, right?

Again, nobody is saying the Cowboys aren't a good team or that they aren't playing good football. We are saying:

1. The Cowboys schedule is one of the weakest in the entire NFL.

2. They are barely squeezing out wins against non-playoff caliber teams (24-17 against SF, really?)

3. You are a huge turd, who likely has not even graduated high school yet. That is based upon your maturity level, so there is some room for error there. (Maybe an 8th grader?)
 
My Picks this week:

NYG > CLE
TEN > CHI
BUF > JAX
BALTIMORE > CINCY
ATL > ARI
NO > LA
MIA > SF
HOU > SD
SEA > TB
OAK > CAR
NE > NYJ
DEN > KC (This one will be close...)

PHI > GB for MNF

You are the best Jim. Actually graduated college a long time ago and have been knocking it down for a Fortune 500 company for around 10 years now. Just b/c the eagles blow and always have shouldn't upset you. You should be accustomed to it by now.

So it's just a mental maturity thing, got it.
 
ATL vs ARI:
The Falcons are looking sharp on offense. Ryan is putting up good numbers. In Fact he has passed for 200+ Yards in 50 straight games. Who is going to be able to calm the falcons as they roll towards the playoffs. They are looking great.

NYG VS CLE:
JPP gets a late fumble pick up for 6 and crushes the browns hopes. The browns were throwing the ball pretty well and had some big plays, but continue to shoot themselves in the foot. 0-12 and no hope in sight, besides another first round draft pick.

TEN VS CHI:
Barkley played very well for Chicago throwing for 300 yards and 3TD's, but it is not enough to beat Tennessee. Tennessee and their defense won this game with 2 picks which came back to haunt Chicago.

BUF VS JAX:
Both teams ran the ball very well, and both QB's played well. Buffalo just gutted out a win in the end in a very back and forth game. Great game by both teams that went down to the wire.

BAL VS CIN:
Baltimore's kicked is unreal. Polishing off 50+ FG's like a walk in the park. Some of those could of went for 60+ by how far he was kicking them with ease. Cincy made some late mistakes in the game which costed them the game. Marvin Lewis is on the hot seat after having a good year last year. Cincy was a favorite in the AFC North, not so much anymore.

NO VS LA:
Goff looked good, but the Saints just put up too many points for them to handel. Brees and company put up nearly 50 on the LA Rams as they looked hopeless on the road.

SF VS MIA:
SF played its best game of the year and just fell short of win #2 on the road. Kaep had a great drive to end the game but could not convert as he tucked and ran. Miami escapes and picks up the win after a late scare from SF. Chip Kelly finally has that offense moving, but its too late in the season.

SD vs HOU:
Either houston shows up or they don't. SD is good, and they get away with a win on the road. Rivers put up some good numbers while Osweiler struggled. Houston has weapons, and a great defense, just some days they do not look like a complete team. Osweiler throwing 3 INT's did not help the case either.

TB vs SEA:
Biggest upset of the day if you ask me. SEA was stunned all game after TB put up a quick 14 points. Russell Wilson could not get the offense
moving one bit as TB came away with a huge home win. Wilson throwing two picks lead the bucks to soaring above .500 and a 6-5 record.

NE vs NYJ:
How many times do we see Tom Brady have game winning drives? Its a never ending story in NE. NYJ had a chance but the defense got a nice fumble recovery off Fitz. What shocked me was NE throwing the ball 50 times in this game. Neither team could get the run game going at all.
 
Bills OT Seantrel Henderson was suspended 10 games for violating the substance abuse policy. This isnt the typical case....Henderson has Crohn's disease and the medical marijuana is prescribed to treat the pain. He was suspended the first 4 games for the same violation. IMO, this is ridiculous. The NFL has to adjust these rules. I realize that guys may try and 'buy off' Drs for prescriptions if this is allowed....but they look like theyre over-riding Drs with rulings like this. After all, they do allow pumping guys full of pain meds to perform...which they may become addicted to later in life. Gotta be smarter than this

-Viks coach Mike Zimmer had 'emergency' eye surgery last night. Presence on the sideline tonight vs Dallas is in question.
-Seahawks S Earl Thomas (hamstring) was a full participant yesterday, and QB Wilson was off the report.
-Raiders QB Derek Carr continues to wear a glove on his right hand during practice (pinky dislocation in 2 spots on Sun)
-Broncos QB Trevor Siemian is in a walking boot....his foot swelled up after the game....sprain
-Pats WB Brady and WR Edelman DNP yesterday
-The league is running a #MyCauseMyCleats campaign. Players are wearing cleats with artwork to support causes. Awesome idea.

You won because of awful officiating missing a blatant call right in his face. Y'all have been the beneficiaries of awful officiating going your way this season.

I agree a missed call but if you watch the tape ball was released before hit. Eagles still blow as always.

Lol. I'm not an Eagles fan? I've watched the tape. It should have been a flag. The two point conversion should have been replayed.
 
My Picks this Week:

ATL > KC
NO > DET (since they are at home and will put up points)
NE > LA
DEN > JAX
GB > HOU (Both are shaky teams giving the edge to GB)
PHI > CIN
MIA > BAL
CHI > 49er's
OAK > BUF
PIT > NYG (I hope... steeler fan checking in)
WAS > ARI
SD > TB (Especially at home)
SEA > CAR

MNF:
IND > NYJ

Oh well then I have s black belt from 10th planet and I am also a 5 star Michilen chef who also owns his own private jet.
 
Some more news around the league:

Alan Branch wins appeal, won't serve 4-game suspension
Eagles' Jordan Matthews likely out, Nelson Agholor to be active Sunday
Mike Zimmer had 2nd eye surgery Friday, could return for Week 14
 
Chicago vs SF
Chicago dismantles the 49'ers and they continue to struggle with only 1 win on the year. Looks like Cleveland and 49'ers will be picking ealry

Baltimore vs Miami:
Flacco explodes, and put up a ton of points on Miami who was hot for 7 games in a row. Baltimore rolls in every aspect of this game. Was a blow out.

Cincy vs Philly:
Philly continues to go in a downward spiral. Cincy showed up and domianted from start to finish. Wentz is struggling, but that defense is giving up way too many points to be competitive.

GB vs Houston:
Both teams struggled on offense, but that is to be expected in the snow on Lambeau Field in the winter. Both QB's had 0 picks, and only 1 fumble each way. Close game with GB coming out victorious.

Denver vs Jax
Even with Lynch in, Denver takes care of business 20-10 on the road vs JAX.

New England vs LA:
Brady is too much for LA, and NE's defense is looking good. Even without Gronk they can carry the team into the playoffs and still be deadly on offense.

Detroit vs NO:
Detroit's defense crushed NO at home. Brees had trouble in the pocket all day long. Detroit is looking good as the playoffs are looming, they should be able to make a late surge and get themselves in.

KC VS ATL
Upset of the day IMO. KC came into Atlanta and walks away with the win. Berry had a huge interception down the line which set up the 2 point conversion for the W. What a hell of a finish.

Tampa Bay Vs San Diego:
San Diego has too many turnovers and lets the Bucs escape with a win on the road. Winston played ok, but really the Chargers made too many mistakes and turnovers.

Pittsburgh vs New York Giants:

Pittsburgh goes up early 14-0 in the first half. Lots of bell, lots of AB, but the Steeler Defense was the star of the show today. The steelers controlled the clock and won the battle up front. Eli & The Giants go 0-3 on 4th down which really helped the Steelers.

Washington vs Arizona:
Palmer throws for 300 and 3 TD's. They get the edge and get away with a W. Washington slides, but Zona needed that win big Time with the playoffs coming.

Oakland vs Buffalo:
Oakland just way too much firepower on offense for Buffalo to keep up. Oakland is looking very good this year, and should be a force by how many points they continue to put up each and every week.
 
Flowers is a garbage LT and has no business starting. Either holds to negate a big play or holds to cause a safety. He has been a liability since he was drafted yet JR refuses to replace him.

Sorry
Pittsburgh just dominated that game :)

I don't think Pits dominated really. NY looked like **** and Pits still had trouble against a defense that ended up losing 3/4 its DL. Not to mention, OBJ was molested on multiple plays with no flags thrown.

Pit fans just full of themselves thinking they always have the toughest D . Pretty soft this year. Many holes. To exposed.

I don't think that at all, media pushes Pittsburgh as a defensive team all the time but it isn't true the past couple years haven't been good for the defense. We have missed on a lot of draft pics on that side of the ball. Offensively we are better than average, but Ben is McNair/mcnabb 2.0. He is/ was great as extending the play problem is just like the other 2 he takes to many hits. It's going to be hard for Ben to play into his late 30's. Like s Brady, Bree's, manning because of that.


The steelers need to think about the next guy to take over from Ben, but historically the steelers don't do that well.
