NFL Discussion Thread - Hall of Fame Game: August 3rd

[champcruthik]

Lost by 2 points in fantasy once Romo got pulled for Orton.

A lot of moderately interesting games in Week 15.

Bengals/Steelers, Ravens/Lions, Jets/Panthers, Seahawks/G-Men, Bears/Browns, Chargers/Broncos, Pats/Fins.

 

[IATT]

that's gotta be all Sam Bradford on the Rams; I wouldn't be shocked if they took a QB in the first round and moved on from him

Bridgewater at 2 with washington's pick

dont see this game being close , personally

Pats got Gooddell and the NFL refs on their squad so that balances it out for them

clearly you haven't watched any pats games besides the browns game. and of that game, you probably watched the highlights only and are just parroting what all the broken hearts of NT have been crying about

 

[champcruthik]

I'm pretty sure the line was 11 or 12 points, so Vegas agrees.

Carolina still has no #2 receiver which will hurt them in the long run when Smitty and Olsen can't get loose. Asking a lot of LaFell. He's more a #3 in my book.

Could be looking past NYJ to New Orleans revenge again, this time at home.

Of course Geno is bipolar with his play. Kerley and Winslow need to duplicate and improve their performances against Oakland.

Ivory is going to have a difficult, challenging game.

#1 run D vs. #2 run D in the league.

clearly I watch alot of football, but I dont know why anybody in their right mind would watch a browns game

Sorry about Gronk, DSA.

I want him to stay healthy and challenge Jimmy for Gonzo's title as best TE of all-time.

Im a raiders fan, im still super salty about 01... let me hate!

A few calls against them still doesnt change the fact the NFL refs have a chubby for the Pats

 

[champcruthik]

Looch gave Engelland that Gennaday Golovkin.

Pretty cool little article by a photographer who shot the Eagles - Lions game. Talks about the obstacles he went through to shoot the photos given the conditions and provides some pretty awesome pictures. To get them to turn out properly he actually had to switch the lens autofocus to manual.

Here's an even better photo of Lesean McCoy hurdling the defender. (Picture is much bigger when opened)

This might be my favorite picture of an NFL player ever. I'm not even an Eagles fan and I'm seriously debating about setting this as my background on my iPad It helps that Shady is just friggin awesome.

 

[champcruthik]

Do it, Jay.

We'll let you switch teams like Jason Collins.

That's awesome.  SNOW, BABY!  Can't wait for the Super Bowl to look like this.

If Peyton makes it

A lot of people complain about how high scoring the NFL is now. These same people typically prefer games in the elements.

If the Super Bowl or any game for that is played on a snow laden field it's going to be a high scoring affair because offense players are going to have a distinct advantage on a surface like that.

As soon as the snow actually stopped failing in Philly and Baltimore record setting scoring took place.

So which one yall want?

Personally I have no problem with high scoring games as long as it's not a defensive travesty like last night.  

I'm not really sure what your point is though.

A lot of "traditionalist" if you will prefer defensive low scoring football out in elements. But if a football game is actually played on a snowy field but it isn't actually snowing or windy the exact opposite is going to happen.

Its a contradictory stance is all I'm saying.

 

[stillin729]

The NFL is only high scoring because it's regulated to be high scoring with all the offensive favored penalties

 

[651akathepaul]

This football life on the '93 Oilers is interesting. It's crazy to believe that an NFL team could be that divided.

 

[lb510]

I thought the game in Philly over the weekend was crazy. That being said I wouldn't want to see a Superbowl in that type of weather. I hope this decision to have it played in New York backfires on Goodell.

Antonio Brown's desperate last second play for the Steelers reminded me of Dyson for the Titans. Or Mason. Forgot who it was against. Buffalo, maybe?

MMG: Houston didn't hold up their end for a potential SB showdown with my Eagles.

Love that McNair backed Smith. Would be a mistake to let him go.

That's the Music City Miracle, c'mon man.  All-time classic play.
