2017 NFL Season Thread

[Pooker]

It's much more likely that the 49ers, Giants, and Broncos all win their divisions next season then the Browns are even contenders for theirs.

[VerbalPuke]

I mean, I admire that attitude but baby steps dude. How about a competitive 6-10 season?

[gunnar hendershow]

49ers have Garoppolo, Giants had a good team last year and will be a trendy rebound pick with everyone healthy, and the Broncos still frankly are a QB away (reminiscent of the Kyle Boller-era Ravens). Browns meanwhile have nothing, they might strike gold with a QB next year but even then he probably gets them to 6 or 7 wins.

[GhostMachine]

Speaking of the Browns, RGIII turned down the Cardinals and Ravens, who came calling. 

I get why he turned down the Cardinals, because they had too many QBs already when they contacted him. But, dude, you played for frickin' Cleveland last year. ANY other team is a step up.

Finishing above the Bengals is a victory for Cleveland in 2018.

This really could go in either the NFL or MLB thread but......Mike Francesa was quite often a tool, why do I feel so sad about today being his last show on WFAN?   

[Lineker]

Panthers owner Jerry Richardson is under investigation for workplace misconduct.

Why are the Bears playing today? Makes no sense

[Meacon Keaton]

Regular season college football is over. NFL always starts playing a couple games on Saturday when college stats bowl season.

[Your Mom]

Either forgot that or just never noticed. Although the Bears barely played today anyway  

[Dan]

A win today will see the Jags make the playoffs for the first time in a decade.

Marvin Lewis will be (finally) leaving Cincinnati after the season. Says he wants to explore other opportunities. Gonna be 100% clear here, I doubt there are any other opportunities for a coach with 0 playoff wins in 15 seasons.

It’s funny how much shit Jim Caldwell gets as being this awful coach but he’s done ok given the talent we have. Yet it seems like people consistently praise Marvin Lewis and he’s basically underachieved wih some talented Bengals teams.

That said, we should move on from Caldwell. He’s made us respectable but we need a guy that can get us over the mediocrity barrier. We’re not awful, and I think we have some really good pieces in place, but our flaws are glaring (defensive line, running game). 

I like Stafford but I also don’t know if he’s ever going to be a guy that can carry a team like Rodgers. Make it easier on him with a run game and defense. His detractors hate this idea because “well then he shouldn’t have the contract he has” and that we wont have money to build d/run game. Whatever.

Back in 2003, Marvin Lewis took over a Bengals team that had only 5 playoff wins in franchise history.

In 2017, after 15 years, Marvin Lewis will leave a Bengals team that has only 5 playoff wins in franchise history

[Dan]

Y'all ready for some Jaguars playoff football?

[The Buscher]

4 TDs for Nick Foles so far.

Carson Wentz = System QB

(disclaimer:  it's the Giants)

[munky]

Buffalo and Jay Cutler beat the Dolphins to stay alive. This is going to sting when the Bills shit the bed in week 17.

[Your Mom]

I must be sick. I was actually rooting for the Packers

[Dan]

10-4, playoffs confirmed.

Amazing season.
