NFL - Random Opinions

Underrated big time game next week:
Tennessee Titans @ San Francisco 49ers

This game could mean a ton for wildcard tiebreakers for the Titans and other teams like the Bills and Chiefs.

 

If you want to beat Tom Brady play him in Miami

He's now 7-9 in his career when visiting the Dolphins, with a passer rating of under 90 in 10 of those 16 games

 

One of those truly head-scratching stats.

 

I don't think Miami has won a SB since Brady has been born either. haha.

 

Colts vs Ravens next Saturday will have wildcard and top of the draft ramifications. This is next week's Titans vs 49ers.

 

So they say rogers isnt 100% IMHO now that their chances of the playoffs are slimmer than slimyou sit him down the rest of the year.

 

Credit for calling this in advance. I've clearly underestimated Jimmy G, because he's setting himself up for a huge payday with how San Fran has been since he became a starter.

Man, in 2 seasons Cleveland has intentionally missed out on Wentz, Goff, Watson, and Garoppolo.

 

Correction . . . Cleveland wasn't ever in play for Goff and (per all the reports), New England made sure they weren't in play for Garoppolo either.

 

Raiders and Dolphins needs to stay alive for week 17:
Needed by both teams:
Dolphins over Chiefs
Rams over Titans
Patriots over Bills

Raiders win vs Eagles (Raiders need only)

BONUS: Ravens over Colts
BONUS: Eagles over Raiders (Dolphins only, obviously)

 

That's fair. A fellow Ravens poster was saying how Cleveland was just a QB away from contending, and I started thinking about the QBs they had a shot at over the past few years.

 

They have had their shot at a number of them. But, they're more than a QB away from contending.

 

The past 2 weeks the Offensive Rookie of the Year race has turned from clearly Alvin Kamara to clearly Kareem Hunt.

 

Bills, Titans and Ravens. The Ravens control their own destiny but if they lose a game they are in the most trouble. Both the Bills and Titans are in better position to afford a loss as the Ravens would likely fall from the lead to the back of the back. The Bills in many scenarios can afford a loss to the Pats. The result could even be moot. The Titans vs the Rams next week is out of conference. The Ravens would lose a conference game and an all important game vs a Bills common opponent with any loss.

 

Interesting to look back at the Rams QB's. Nick Foles, Case Keenum and Goff were the backups over the last couple years. Look at who is tearing the NFL up these days.

 

5 teams are in the Playoffs in the NFC this season that were not in the Playoffs last year at all. The Falcons are the one repeat team so far. I think this is a good thing for the NFL, fans and just in general.

 

Most seasons at least 50% of the playoffs teams change.

Thought I'd leave this for Tim, since we all know how much love he has for Jeff Fisher!

 

Saw a nice piece on NBC about Watson, the QB for the Texans. I hear he had more TD's in his first 7 games than any QB in history. That's pretty remarkable considering some of the greats that have played the game. He's a real nice man off the field too with an interesting life. I was glad I saw the story.

 

If you are going to make that assholish of an argument then don't make one the guys you are mocking can easily 1-up you on.
