OT: All Non-Hockey Sports Talk (2015-17 edition)

[SoupyFIN]

Finland vs. France Eurobasket.

Insane game.

 

[Rat Trick]

^ vs. Poland too. 1 min 30 sec left on the clock and 9 pts behind and what happened?

 

[Drugs Delaney]

I've found a way to defeat the Patriots. As a Fins Fan I've never drafted or played Tom Brady in fantasy football. This year he's my starter!!! Tom Brady can't win for me. I'm a fins fan. It goes against every law in the universe.

I'll be starting him all season.

My jags absolutely destroyed the Texans and tom savage.. brought a tear to my eye

Fournette played well for my fantasy squad this week.

 

[pb1300]

The AFC is vulnerable this year...cmon Fins!!!

 

[pb1300]

Boxing is SOOOOOOOO F'NG RIGGED!!!!

 

[ShootIt]

Well. Dolphins won. I'll take it after missing week 1 and well players being rusty.

Dallas... sweet jesus

 

[pb1300]

So Jeter has apparently asked Samson, who will not be retained, to fire Dawson, Conine, McKeon, and Tony Perez, because he did not want to do it. Is this a sign of things to come, or is it not a big deal? Just seems a bit shady that he told Samson to do it, rather than take care of it himself.

 

[Gentle Man]

Melo to OKC

 

[Beezer]

If the Dolphins can put it together(I know I'm asking for a lot) I feel like they would be able to challenge for division title. The Pats look shaky so far this season and I feel we would have a shot at it if our team could not only show up to games but actually play.

 

[ShootIt]

Offense needs to come alive. TBD if that can happen with Cutler and this ratchet offensive line.
Defense has been ok, but teams will probably force Cutler to beat them.

 

[Big Z Man 1990]

Ichiro is wasting his time playing for the Marlins. They are nowhere near contention. If he wants to play longer he should play for a team with an actual chance of winning the World Series. It's the same thing as Ovechkin's insistence of playing for the Caps despite losing to Pittsburgh teams that eventually won the Cup the last two years.

 

[FlaPanthers11]

Finally for the U.

 

[pb1300]

Finally for the U.

Hell of a game. Two excellent defenses going at it for most of the game. Miami is not fully back, but they will be with Richt in charge.

 

[Howboutthempanthers]

Finally for the U.

I know right?! Geez.
So many things that we need to take of that's been long over due. Hopefully they'll just keep knocking them off one at a time.

 

[TheImpatientPanther]

Well looks like Miami will be firing their OL coach Chris Foerster... the guy recorded himself snorting a white powdered "substance" while chatting with his partner about missing her and getting "high" with her. Ouch....Miami is turning into a season of Ballers.

 

[EnforceTheLaus]

Well that explains the offense

 

[ShootIt]

Even though they won, it doesn't feel like a victory.

Cutler was putrid yesterday. I dunno if he ever set his feel once when throwing it, even without pressure.
Getting tired of Gase keeping him in there.

Cutler shows absolutely ZERO emotion. I really believe that this team would be better off with Moore right now. I bet the team would play with a bit more fire for him as well. Cutler's body expressions shows me that other than that fat one year deal, he does not care. Having said that, Im all for them sticking with Cutler, just so we can get a better draft pick.

Vendetta, my fellow Jags fan. Your thoughts on this season so far?

Vendetta, my fellow Jags fan. Your thoughts on this season so far?

Don't they have one of the best defensive pass rushes in the league? Don't know if it was more Big Ben sucking or Jags finally playing as a playoff caliber team? If Bortles can take a big step forward, they have a real shot at winning their division (don't know the difficulty of their schedule though). A lot will have to go right but it looks promising.

Tennessee is a threat but MM is still young and bound to make mistakes.
Houston just lost Watt and their quarterback is on fire but ran into a KC team that may win it all.

I'm a Niners fan so I have been watching random teams this year and watched most of the game on Sunday. Think Bortles only threw 2 or 3 passes in the second half which is a sign of a decent run game and clock management.

IF only you guys had a QB, then the Jags would be scary. Hindsight, should of traded for Jacob Brissett.

The pass rush has been lethal but the real strength of the defense is the secondary. AJ Bouye and especially Jalen Ramsey are bona fide shut down corners. Big Ben definitely isn't the same guy this year, but you certainly won't see him getting picked off 5 times at home very often. The Jags D is a legit top 5 unit.

The schedule is probably the easiest in the league going forward so it should be interesting how it plays out. We did lose to the Jets after all lol.

As for Bortles, I have absolutely no hope for the guy. He has his moments but the guy just isn't accurate and can't be trusted to make good decisions. I hope we move on next year. I think the defense and Fournette can carry us to an 8-8 or 9-7 record this year. Alot better than anything in the past 7 years.

Your Niners can easily be 4-1 or 3-2 right now lol. Some tough losses, but some of the young pieces they have on defense are impressive. It's basically year 1 of the rebuild, so hopefully the Lynch-Shanahan regime can lead yall to a quick turnaround.

I'm with you. With somebody like Brissett we would be the heavy favorites to win the division. Bortles is terrible. Such a shame, he actually looked very promising in his 2nd year.
