American Football Thread (NFL, NCAA)

thought you might crash and burn at the end there! Did you see Jennings flip out at the time out? Passionate guy!!

 

The Redskins should have won that game last night. I don't know what the Shanahans were thinking in the second half, their gameplan was horrible. Alfred Morris was running through the Vikings D with ease, he had 88yards rushing AT HALFTIME, then in the second half they only gave him the ball 9 times?! That's some bad playcalling right there.

I also think the Redskins need to try harder to protect Bobby 3 sticks. He took another pounding last night and is destined for a very short NFL career if he keeps getting hit like he has in the last season and a half. It's not all down to the coaches though, Griffin needs to take better care of himself and learn to slide at the end of a play instead of charging head first into defenders who want to hit him as hard as possible and put him out of the game. I admire his bravery and all that but you have to be sensible at the same time.

 

Yeah I saw it.....Frazier kept calling timeouts as the D was gassed. Jennings got * cause it stopped the clock, can see why Frazier did it though. Plus Jennings was our big money signing, suppose to light up the offense, just hasn't worked. Going from Rodgers to Ponder/whoever else wants to play QB must have been tough for him. Don't think Ponder trusts him, so many times this year he has been open and Ponder has scrambled or checked down. He will make a nice target for the new franchise QB we draft.....

 

How much of an idiot is Christian Ponder? Blew out his shoulder for absolutely no reason.

Anyway, the Vikings will still pick 3rd-5th, so last nights win shouldn't make that much of a difference. Awful result for the Redskins though, but the NFCE sucks so they might still have a shot. Agree about RGIII, he takes way too many hits. Although I think the Vikings D were targeting him a bit, Allen had loads of "accidental" late hits, as did others.

If the draft goes Jax, TB, Minnesota then I see it going Bridgewater, Clowney, Mariota/QB.

 

Quick Paul accept my trade!

 

OK, I guess Nick Foles' performance last week was not a fluke. This time he tears up the Pack in Green Bay with amazing numbers. Deebo actually looks like a decent team...

 

Anybody seen the Incognito interview today??

Shannon Sharpe had his say on NFL Today.

The Broncos aren't all that, they've struggled every time they've faced a good team. Luckily for them the Chargers were awful in the first half and couldn't even string together a TD

 

couldn't score a TD due to the broncos D stopping them in the red zone 3 TIMES! not to bad for a team thats not all that, oh and another 4 TD's for peyton. looking forward to going to new england in a couple of weeks

 

Coming to New England and leaving with a loss! Should be a great game though.

Anyway, the guess on SNF for Channel 4 just said Tom Brady wasn't elite....

 

Interesting interview with Incognito. It's such an odd situation. I can't get my head around it.

Incognito seems to come across as a well spoken, respectful guy. But I've heard a number of players say he is the dirtiest player in the NFL and he has obviously had troubles in the past. Who is speaking to the media if John Martin said nothing? The whole thing is just a bit fishy, nothing adds up.

 

Think he is desperate to show he is the future, he isn't!! Yeah a few dirty late hits from out D...prob most D's this year have had a wee dig at RGIII.....

To be honest, I just want us to win games...not even bothered about our draft position. Season still has plenty of games left, jobs are on the line. Win a few at the end of the year and we can take that momentum into next season SKOL

 

Considering how weak the NFC East is you have to fancy them now at this point to win it.

 

Just reading back through this cause I'm bored, I was kind of right, Pats traded out of the first for 2/3/4/7 and selected a WR in 2/3. Also selected a CB in 3rd and DE later. I'm a genius.

 

Yup, thanks for Aaron Dobson and Logan Ryan!

 

:icon_mrgreen:

 

I picked them because I thought it was the two worst teams... Chiefs put me right in my place!

 

Apparently Ed Reed is being released by the Texans!!!

Come on Baltimore, bring him home!!!!

 

* *, Watching the Wolverines play this year is killing me

 

Not a Wolverine fan, but I hope they can pull miracle at home and beat that * master Urban Meyer and Ohio State....
