OT: 2016 American Football Discussion (NFL, College)

[Zippy316]

This has to be the worst playoffs in a long time as far as the NFL goes.

It seems like there hasn't been any good, close games.

Dallas-GB & KC-Pitts were great games.

This whole season has sucked. Ratings down for a reason.

Tom Brady has never lost to the falcons. 5-0. Dam.

 

[Edmonton East]

I'm torn on this game. I do think NE runs for over 150 yards though, as I expect them to be heavy run early.

 

[Devils Dominion]

It comes down to one thing, can ATL put any pressure on Tom.

 

[DenisSamson3]

I read an article that stated that Tom Brady's 40 yard dash has improved over the last few seasons. He now runs the same time as he did in college. He also wants to play till 45. Interesting to see that athletes can still improve in their later years.

The XFL 30 for 30 was just amazing. So well done and so many amazing stories that are almost too ridiculous to even believe they are true but it explains why the league failed overall.

Anyone actually go to any games? I went to one at the Giants stadium to see the Los Angeles Xtreme play the NY/NJ Hitmen.

That's it though, basically every other game was a blowout.

I'll have to watch it.

I caught a few Hitmen games.
Had a blast at them.

I havnt thought about that league in so many years.

Obviously the Falcons will have the backing of most NFL fans in this one as New England is the boogeyman.

So as a Giants fan...I kinda want the Patriots to win. Reason is that I want to be able to say that only Eli beat Tom in the Super Bowl and he did it twice!

I can't be the only one right?

Giants fan here "rooting" for the Patriots as well. Pretty much the same reason. And I'm a big Tom Brady fan.

Anyone else feeling meh about the SB?

Maybe because I've almost aged out? That would explain why advertisers target the 18-34 graphic

Finally know why Bill Belichik dresses the way he does.

According to sources through the years, after Reebok inked a reported $250 million deal as the official outfitter of the NFL in the early 2000s, one of the tenets of the contract was that coaches would wear their gear.

Belichick rejected the concept on principle, arguing that some NFL executive in New York shouldn’t be telling grown men how to dress. He’s a coach, not a fashion model, after all, and the whole thing felt ridiculous.

That didn’t mean he could ignore it forever, so when presented with all of the acceptable items to wear, Belichick purposefully chose what he believed was the least fashionable choice … the humble grey hoodie. He soon even chopped the sleeves off of it, often with crooked and sloppy cuts, perhaps in an effort to make it less attractive.

Curious to know Michael Moore's reasoning.

So Terrell Davis gets in to the HOF but Owens didn't?

Sportswriters are sanctimonious *******s. Owens is like 3rd in almost all receiving categories and was a great showman. I still remember that catch he made against the Packers in the NFC Wild Card game in 1998. That's where he was born

I could have run for 1K yds if the Broncos O-line was blocking for me

On talent I agree but the fact so many respected ex-players and coaches couldn't stand him doesn't help, it's not just writer bashing. The HOF shouldn't be about morality or what a guy's like in the locker room though, especially in the NFL. At least MLB has a specific morality/character clause (which they're now ignoring to put in the steroid guys).

I wonder how they will handle Moss when he's up next year and Brady when it's his turn.

I bet Brady gets in unanimously the first time and Moss won't get in until his second year

Any Superb Owl predictions?

I like ATL's defense but they're inexperienced, I have a feeling they'll come out on fire and by the 2nd quarter Brady will be dissecting them.

 

[Devils Dominion]

Got in with ATL getting 4 points.

Even though I'd like NE to win by 3, I predict the Falcons will win the game outright.

 

[Devils Dominion]

ATL is faster, hungrier.

 

[New Jersey Devils]

This Falcons offense is really something else.

 

[Devils Dominion]

Game over

 

[AfroThunder396]

Bet all my vCash on the Pats

I'll take it though, **** those guys.
