OT: 2017 American Football Thread

[NJDevs26]

Like two teams in the history of the modern NFL (14+ game schedule) have been winless lol

 

[Devils Dominion]

has a new york team ever gone winless?

would add a whole new dimension to the local sports culture

I think the Jets were 1-15 under Kotite on the 90's.

There are interviews with Boomer Esiason that document what a mess that team was. Well worth the read

 

[Devils Dominion]

Jets won't go 0-16 since there are a few other horrid teams in the league and I think on their schedule.

They can't do anything right, including tanking. So this is an accurate statement

 

[Edmonton East]

Nah, Jets are going 0-16.

No QB. No WRs. No TE. Whatever oline. Questions all over D outside of two positions. And a joke of a head coach.

Typically garbage rosters like this can squeak out a win or 2 due to schedule. But this roster with an awful head coach....good luck. Ironically the only 2 games they even have a shot at (ignoring future potential injuries) are against the Bills.

You have to be historically bad to go 0-16 and the Jets are far from it. Heck the Bill may start Joe Webb week 1.

Jets will win 3-4 games. 2 at worst. But there is more talent on the Jets than people think.

nah, there really isn't. They have 2 young promising safeties and a decent DL but thats it. Their offense is going to be a mess.

I agree they will win a few games though.

 

[Emperoreddy]

Do we want to try another separate fantasy thread this year? I recall it working two years ago but last year didn't seem to have much interest

 

[Zajacs Bowl Cut]

Hurricane Irma is apparently not a category 5 hurricane

Dolphins-Bucs game Sunday at 1pm is certainly not going to happen, at least not in Miami

Quincy Enunwa was their #1 receiver before he got hurt. Think about that.

 

[TootooTrain]

Heyo, didn't know where to put this.

I'll be fairly busy throughout the next couple of weeks. I'll have very little time when I'm not on the go. I'll still be able to watch football, but that time inbetween of catching up on general team news/discussion will be faded. Just wondering if there are any good podcasts surrounding the Giants. I'm sure there's a fair number, but just looking for another fans opinion on a 'good' one. I've been listening to the CBS fantasy ones for a fair bit

Cheers fellas.

What a **** show the NFL is. Obviously the game between Tampa (my Bucs) and the Dolphins shouldn't be played in Miami. They're talking about having them play on their bye week, week 11, and leaving week 1 as their bye week. That amounts to 16 straight non playoff games. If either team makes the playoffs they're looking at playing football every single Sunday for 17+ weeks if they advance. Move it to a neutral site.

yea its kind of ridiculous. the NFL is all about safety and then misses the easy way out on this (if they actually make them take a bye this week).

Just move the game to New Orleans, Carolina, Atlanta, etc.

 

[Devils Dominion]

Elliott will play vs the Giants

Apparently Pittsburgh and Philadelphia are possible neutral sites and they'll make a decision tomorrow.

 

[Zajacs Bowl Cut]

oh man, if the game is in Philly I would absolutely go. I live 30 minutes from the Linc.

I'm right there with you, an hour away but I'm a Bucs fan so if tickets are cheap (between checks lol) I'm interested in heading there. Knowing the NFL though they'll probably make them use their week 11 bye week and fine the Dolphins and Bucs a first rounder next year for inconveniencing the league.

 

[Devils Dominion]

Might be the only time they won't need the jail and court in that Stadium for a NFL game.

 

[Zajacs Bowl Cut]

there is no jail and court in the Linc

that was the Vet

 

[Emperoreddy]

With Luck still hurt I thought about picking up Cutler, but with the fate of this game so up in the air I might just stick with Wentz.

Flacco is the only other decent option or god forbid Bortles

 

[Edmonton East]

I don't have a problem with Zeke playing against the Giants because I'm not so sure about the suspension to begin with. That said, it is typical NFL ******** to drag their feet with a ruling (independent ruling....ya, okay) and then go "whoops, since it took so long Zeke has gotta play on opening sunday night." At home. During primetime. Against their biggest rival.

Lol.

and of course, guess what they decided to do?

Game postponed until week 11

We care about player safety... play a minimum of 16 straight weeks... solid.

Dolphins start the season @LA Rams, @NY Jets, in London against the Saints
