2016 NFL Season

[MalaCloudy Black]

Zachary Orr retires at 24

Quote

 

Orr played in 15 games for the Ravens this season, but missed Week 17 with what was listed as a neck injury. After an MRI he learned about his condition, which would leave him with serious damage if he continued to play football.

Orr signed with Baltimore as an undrafted free agent in 2014. He had a team-leading 132 total tackles this season.

LA Chargers have hired Gus Bradley as DC.

To be fair they've only played in two since then.

 

And the two were at Denver, where the Patriots never really do well

[Maxx]

So then home field advantage is pretty important?

The Colts have fired GM Ryan Grigson after five (!) seasons.  Chuck Pagano will be the Colts' coach in 2017.

Police apprehend Boston man for false alarm at Steelers’ hotel

[Lineker]

Jordy Nelson, Davante Adams and Geronimo Allison are all expected to play for Green Bay today. 

 

Predictions? I'm gonna say Atlanta and New England.

Sames.

Ditto. I could see Green Bay *maybe* beating Atlanta, but I doubt it. On the other hand, the way Pittsburgh played against Kansas City, and having some players with the flu, there's no way they beat New England. If they do, the game is rigged.

(And confidentially, if the Cowboys had beaten the Packers, I don't think they would have gotten past the Falcons. But I'm still not at all happy that they lost.)

Falcons offense is just so fast.

Quick rules question,after the fumble the Atlanta player seemed to roll over the line with the ball and it was given as a touchback. Wouldn't that normally be a safety or would the ruling be that as he's rolling he doesn't have the ball under control yet?

Hasn't established possession fully, or something. I don't like calling it a safety, and I don't like calling it a touchback either.

[Lineker]

First time Green Bay have been shut out in a first half since the 2002 playoffs. Against Atlanta also.

[Your Mom]

Don't get me wrong I am loving this but what the hell is happening here? I was told it was going to be like 1 billion to 900,000 and GB hasn't even scored yet!

[Lineker]

Pleased for Atlanta. Hope they can get the job done in Houston. 

[Meacon Keaton]

This is a skunkin'. I hope they do the same against New England or Pittsburgh.

Fun fact: Matt Ryan is from Exton which is seven miles from me, and his back up, Matt Schaub, is from West Chester which is zero miles from me.

Is forward momentum still a thing?

[The Buscher]

Press Secretary Sean Spicer:  "The Packers did not lose this game and they will play in the Super Bowl."  Alternate facts.

And this is why Atlanta is the team I was most afraid of facing.  They seemed locked in this year.
