OT: 2015 NFL Football Discussion

[BenedictGomez]

The Lions mascot's reaction to that interception was priceless.

 

[Edmonton East]

I like Bengals +3, Raiders +3.5, Steelers -1.5

Thank god the Steelers held on. 3 game parlay

 

[tr83]

The Bears had 9 possessions yesterday and punted 9 times. They had 5 3 and outs....LULZ.

I'm rooting so hard for Arizona to win it all

What did that pay, 9:1?

 

[Edmonton East]

What did that pay, 9:1?

Nah, about 6 to 1.

Sitting at 3rd out of 78,000 people on yahoo's DFS league...concentrating on work today is impossible.

The Chiefs O-line is garbage

 

[NJDevs26]

At least a Chiefs WR has finally caught a TD pass, baby steps

 

[Devils Dominion]

The Lions just could never catch a break in their history.

 

[Rhodes 81]

The Chiefs O-line is garbage

Spread offenses in college have ruined the influx of o-line and QB talent. Barely anyone in college still runs a pro-style offense.

Why ON EARTH did the Steelers not cut Scobee after his foibles the first two weeks of the season?!

Nantz and Simms mentioned that they brought in two other kickers to challenge Scobee but the both got hurt. Plus they gave up a draft pick for him.

 

[New Jersey Devils]

Loss wasn't all on Scobee. Steelers were coddling Vick too much and never gave him the chance to make big plays down field (he has the arm to do it). Wayyy too conservative.

thursday night football blows and is going to turn way too many good divisional games into idiotball this year

That play call on 4th and 2 was mind boggling.

 

[Better Call Sal]

Tomlin blew that game just as badly as Scobee did.

As a long time Steeler fan watching every game, Scobee is the worst kicker this team has ever had. Half the reason they are going for 2 after every TD is because they have no confidence in him kicking the PATs and he has already missed one. It's not an exaggeration to say just about every field goal he has made this season has either hit the upright or just missed it.

They should've tried another field goal attempt the last time because they were only going to lose if they didn't convert but as an NFL kicker you have to make AT LEAST of those 40 yard field goals. I blame the loss on Scobee.

As for Vick, I don't want him getting the keys to the offense because he's going to turn the ball over like crazy and any Jets fan will probably tell you this. Just let him manage the game and let the weapons he has make plays. The defense has been playing way above most people's expectations, our front seven is going to be creating havoc for a long time with all the young DL and Linebackers. IF they can steal 1 or 2 wins until Roethlisberger comes back , they will be in good shape.

The defense, which is a sieve at crunch time, doesn't get an ounce of blame?



What drives me crazy is that if the kicker makes a kick, he's just doing his job, but if he misses, he's just an idiot kicker. I just want to hear one kicker come out and say, "You know, the team and fans will blame me for a loss, but the defense couldn't stop a college team."

 

[Devils Dominion]

Eagles & Jets will win this week

lol they can't do that cause 99.9% of kickers are expendable. It's even bad form when a QB does it (criticize the defense after throwing a bad INT).

The closest I ever remember to a kicker getting mouthy was when Vanderjagt ripped Peyton and Dungy for not being emotional enough to win in the playoffs then Peyton had a memorable retort at the Pro Bowl calling him a idiot kicker.

 

[Devils Dominion]

I'm killing it this NFL season, won beer money for Devils games through at least Christmas, 4 for 4 so far this season including this Jets win today.

Eagles will make me even more $ later today.

 

[Devilsfan992]

Big win for the JETS.

Anyone check out that Norman kid from Carolina. He's a freak

 

[BenedictGomez]

This Eagles team CONTINUES to be a complete embarrassment.

They've played 2 quarters of good football this season out of 14 quarters, should be 0-3 rather than 1-2 (Jets "out stupid'ed them"), and looked worse than incompetent in that 1st half.

 

[Devils Dominion]

Philly up 20-16

 

[NJDevs26]

Come on now Giants, don't blow ANOTHER double-digit fourth-quarter lead.

 

[tr83]

It was nice to see the Jets beat the Dolphins AND the referees
