NFL Thread

[theeboredone]

Well in most fantasy leagues, the championship is this coming Sunday...so someone will have a chance to go out with a bang

Or whatever it is that happens.

 

[Terywj [태리]]

I was being sarcastic.

 

[Peeze]

I'm in.
Also the Nfl thread a few years ago was a prediction thread. Went well

 

[Starphoenix]

Man I can't do that fantasy league stuff. It kills the game for me. Predicting which teams will win is a different story.

 

[Jem.]

Yeah I've never done fantasy football even though I'm a huge NFL fan

 

[theeboredone]

We'll do both for sure. We'll see who has the most accurate predictions. We can simply go to who wins the SB, divisions, conferences...or we can just pick SB predictions.

Right now or for next year?

 

[theeboredone]

Well I was thinking about next year, but nothing wrong with making last season predictions and playoff predictions.

 

[Berserker Swordsman]

Well, here are my current predictions:

Super Bowl: Pats/Packers

AFC Seeds (1st thru 6th): Pats, Ravens, Texans, Broncos, Steelers, Jets

NFC Seeds: Packers, Saints, 49ers, Eagles, Falcons, Lions

What I would like to see but probably won't happen: Broncos/Eagles Super Bowl, Seahawks get into the playoffs and beat the Saints again.

 

[Terywj [태리]]

For this season we can just have discussions, but for next season I can make it more organized. :D

What we should do for this year is once the playoffs are decided, predict the playoff bracket down to every matchup.

I successfully predicted the packers/steelers superbowl last year, would love to try and predict the entire bracket :D

 

[Starphoenix]

AFC: Patriots, Ravens, Texans, Broncos, Steelers, Bengals
NFC: Packers, 49ers, Saints, Giants, Lions, Falcons

AFC Championship Game: Patriots vs. Ravens
NFC Championship Game: Packers vs. Saints

Super Bowl: New England Patriots vs. New Orleans Saints

 

[Reizilla]

AFC: Pats, Texans, Ravens, Raiders, Steelers, Bengals
NFC: Packers, 49ers, Saints, Giants, Lions, Falcons

AFC Champ: Pats vs. Ravens
NFC Champ: Packers vs. 49ers

Superbowl: Pats vs. 49ers

 

[M@v]

Don't care how good brady is, that 32nd ranked defense is going to drag him away from the super bowl.

 

[Berserker Swordsman]

You do know that defense is still better than a lot of others, right? Yeah it's bad, but not like...Rams bad.

 

[Reizilla]

I don't know why people like to look at total yards for defense. Points are the only thing that really matters. The Pats are 14th there. Not great, but not bad either.

 

[theeboredone]

Was gonna mention that Lapras. And if it's against Baltimore or Pitt in the AFC champ, then I know their red zone D will hold up.

 

[Jem.]

Yeah but the more time you spend on defense, the less time you have for Tom Brady to score points. Which means a less chance of winning.

 

[theeboredone]

Well, it'll depend on which Joe Flacco shows up and how healthy Ben will be.

 

[SharkAttack]

I have never done a fantasy league. I might be interested in this next year. The only thing I do now is a game where I predict the scores of every game in a week. It goes like this:

Saints vs. Vikings. Actual score was 42-20. I predicted beforehand Saints 47-Vikings 20

I get 5 points for predicting the winner, plus a bonus point for getting one score perfect (Vikings)

If I would have gotten both teams correct I would have gotten 8 total points.

If I would have predicted the Vikings to win 20-16 over the Saints, I would have got 1 point for getting a correct score despite not picking the winner.

If I had guessed the Vikings would have won 38-6, I would have got 0 points.

Right now I trail my friend for the season 783-748. I don't think I'm coming back.

I'm fine with just the Fantasy Football game by the way.

Also, nice nostalgia thread link Peeze! If I could go back and play it I would have went against the Lions every week

 

[Jem.]

About to be real unfortunate if the Seahawks have to compete with Andrew Luck for 10+ seasons if he winds up with the Rams in the NFC West.. I'd trade away Bradford to a team like Cleveland/Miami desperate for a franchise guy.

 

[theeboredone]

Or trade Luck for a bunch of players. Bradford has no protection and he needs another WR, TE, or something to shore up the D.

On another note, Colts win. They still hold the first pick, btu does this mean the Packers lose again?

Colts and Packs, forever aligned.

 

[Stealth Raptor]

i think the packers will win the super bowl. they may lose in one of the last games due to resting players, but the chiefs really comboed some luck with personnel changes into a look over, the packers will regroup and sweep the playoffs. i dont see anytime that can stand up to them really except the saints, and i dont see the saints winning in green bay

 

[Smooth Criminal]

Houston reallyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy screwed the pooch with those last few penalties.

That roughing the passer call was kinda incidental, tho'. Not deliberate. Guy just kinda fell back on to the QB when his buddy came up from the side and bumped into him.

Smooth Criminal

 

[Reizilla]

Same with that hit that Bethea have earlier. It was definitely incidental, but it's just the way the rules are. I'm just glad we're still undefeated against the Texans at home.

I can see the 49ers and the Ravens beating the Packers in the playoffs. Definitely not the Saints on the road. Probably not the Pats either.

 

[theeboredone]

Game of the week to end the regular season. Chiefs vs Broncos AKA Orton's revenge.

 

[Stealth Raptor]

think about if. if we beat the raiders and denver and san diego lose, it will be tebow vs orton winner take all of the AFC west. if that happens its gonna get flexed looooooool

 

[M@v]

And winner of the afc west will host the loser of the afc north in the wildcard. Then again we might have 3 afc north teams in the playoffs, so ill say 2nd place team.

 

[Stealth Raptor]

we beat the packers at home, we got anyone who comes into arrowhead if we win the next two and somehow make it in

 

[Jem.]

I don't see the Chargers losing to the Lions though. They embarrassed the Ravens. and they are in their late-season crazy mode

Atleast I hope so. Because there are only a couple scenarios in which the Seahawks make it in

Chicago wins next two, Atlanta loses next two, we win next two, we end up winning the three way tie breaker

Detroit loses next two, we win next two

I know we can't win the Superbowl with this team, but playoffs are always fun. And I think the NFL would be pissed to see a "mediocre" Seahawks back in the playoffs again. I guess it's easier that we aren't hosting a game at 7-9 this time though if we were to make it in.

 

[theeboredone]

Too bad Seahawks run ends on Sat vs the Niners

Played another pick up game of football...surprise surprise...it was warmer and I dropped about 5 passes.

 

[Orboknown]

rofl. thats odd.

 

[M@v]

If any of you guys are getting the steelers rams game, keep an eye out for me. I'll be at the game

Was intially going to wear my antonio brown jersey, but with the chance it might be hines ward's last home game, I'm wearing my alternate color hines ward jersey. Gotta support my all time favorite steeler if its his last game at Hines field. I hope it isn't though.

 

[theeboredone]

I need to get a new 49ers jersey, but not sure who I should get. The other 3 I own are players who no longer play on the team

1. Jerry Rice
2. Brandon Lloyd
3. T.O.

I'm stuck between Vernon Davis, Crabtree, or wait for it...

Spoiler

Though how fruitless would it be if he's benched next year if they get a better QB?



Also, Brady on his draft day LOL.

 

[Terywj [태리]]

People don't call him one of the greatest draft steals of all time for no reason lol.

 

[Orboknown]

Jets better get the win
Edit:And Eli goes down!
double Edit-99Yards WHAT?!?!?!?

 

[Terywj [태리]]

Look at that Patriot offensive line struggle. =\

 

[Orboknown]

and folk misses the kick.
whoa, the bangel td oO

 

[Peeze]

NFL on saturday.
What a great day.
