OT: 2018 NFL Thread Part II

[MadDevil]

As a lapsed Vikings fan used to heartbreak, I understand how Bears fans must feel right now.

 

[BenedictGomez]

…at least you get to enjoy some more playoff football

One more game.

It's not possible to beat the Saints with your entire secondary injured.

Like someone said on the mainboard Parkey's gonna be the most hated guy in Chicago since Steve Bartman

as a fan of both cubs and bears…...right now, this moment he's tops for me …..how do choke that hard at home……and i f***ing despise bartman……cant believe the cubs gave him a f***ing ring in '16

…..like, what in the f*** are you thinking?! ….asinine

at least youre not thinking of a win next week…..i was confident that the bears could take today

 

[BenedictGomez]

My 4 picks won a ******** of money this weekend.

The only one I got wrong was SEA/DAL and that was only a 2 point game.

 

[njdevils1982]

sort by FG% and take note of number 1 vs number 30 on the list…..

robbie wouldve made the kick

 

[Ripshot 43]

He's a mediocre kicker whose career is possibly over. It's ok to have some empathy for the dude even though you're correct, being rich certainly helps to absorb the blow.

Knowing that town, if I'm the Bears I cut or trade him asap and potentially eat the 3+mil left on his contract.

I was just trying to make a funny.

 

[My3Sons]

The incomplete/fumble play to me was the league covering up for the ref screwing up the play. He charged right to the ball empahtically blowing the whistle and it looked like he actually cut them off from the ball. Then they go to replay and realize the ref stopped it prematurely and if the Eagles lose the replay they go bananas and who is at fault? The ref who stopped the Eagles with his take charge moment. I think the replay refs just chose the lesser of two evils. Really lame either way.

 

[Jack Be Quick]

Against his former team no less



Kickers don't make that many millions, he probably won't have a job full time next year. Look at what happened to Blair Walsh after his playoff miss.

His current contract came with a $2.5mil signing bonus and $9mil guaranteed, he'll be fine so long as he gets out of that town and didn't spend like a dummy.

Still sucks for him though. What do kickers do after football? At almost every other position there are still options for you once you stop playing (coaching, training, commentating, etc). But kickers, especially bad ones? I guess you'd get a proper major in school and see it through just in case.

after football? who cares…. 11.5M (if you dont want to live a "gangsta" life) is more than enough over and over to never work again and enjoy hobbies

sure, some people need the aspect of doing something aka working, but theres always volunteering for things that mean something to you if have that urge to feel 'useful'

The kick was deflected by someone's hand.

But let's all blame the kicker bc it's the thing to do.

 

[NJDevs26]

Well you needed the Zapruder film to see it, but the Eagle player claims he did get a piece of it so there's that I suppose. Parkey's still a meh kicker that's already been on four teams in five years.

his season was bad as i mentioned above

 

[Devils Dominion]

I am up bigly

Philly game was easy money, I'm still stunned that a chump team like the Bears were giving 6.5
Best defense my arse

SD came through but it got a little dicey late.

I just dipped my toe in the water for the first time. Couldn’t pass up the Eagles at -6.5

Interesting, I didnt realize that, and the commentators never mentioned it.

As I mentioned before, the Bears only played 4 of 16 games against teams with > .500 record, and were greatly overrated.

Dont get me wrong, I knew their defense was amazing, but I also knew the Eagles defense was pretty decent too and was getting WAY underrated in this match-up.

At any rate, I made more money betting this game than I have on any sporting event in my entire lifetime. Taking it Eagles to win, covering it with Eagles +6.5, and also betting UNDER.

So with a big spread against PHI again next week is it as easy a bet? NO apparently opens anywhere from -8 to -9 from what I read. If so that is a big number. I’d expect it to shrink rapidly.

 

[Hischier and Hughes]

Hoping Zeke doesnt run all over my Rams next week

You're prob the only Rams fan in NJ

I would set the line at NO -4

Haha me and a few of my buddies are all in NJ as Rams fans

Id assume theres always a small group of fans of every team in every state

I'm sure but I've never seen anyone wear Rams gear.

Oddly enough I've parked near two different cars with Colts license plate frames this past week (def different cars)

Did you pick them as your team during the Kurt Warner era?

 

[My3Sons]

I would set the line at NO -4

I’d be surprised if it moved to that. Maybe it settles at -6? I’d wait to see injury report on NO o-line before betting.
