    NHL 2016-17 Season

    2016, and Crosby and Ovechkin are 1 and 2 in goals scored. Kind of weird for Ovechkin to be so high this early, he usually doesn't heat up until after the new year.

    NHL 2016-17 Season

    Can dig Golden Knights. Really hope the NHL has success in Vegas, I think it's a bold move on their part to be the first major sport to put a team in there.

    Didn't he have a pretty good year under Gase last year? I mean the team has a ton of holes and has for awhile, but I thought people were predicting a down year for him because the Bears lost Gase since he is head coach down in Miami now.

    They will open up the checkbook. But we can lose one WR of Jackson and Garcon and save money there. Let Doctson get healthy in the offseason and start to contribute. With Reed and Crowder we will be fine.

    Be interesting to see how the QB market shakes out. At this point I don't see us letting Cousins go unless we overpay. So of the available guys, there will likely be Cutler along with Fitz. The Romo option will be there for someone who wants to pay a king's ransom of picks.

    Brady/Gronk would be a better comparison, he's just a TE and not a WR. Edelman isn't in the same league as the other wideouts in the best combos.

    The NFL is going to have to institute a centralized review system for some of this shit. They've literally put in many safe ways that trigger automatic reviews for refs to not fuck up games and they still manage to do it.

    NFL 2016 - <whatever Tony is doing>

    Given where the top QB's salaries are going to go after Luck's deal...I'd probably live with $20M. I've always tried to be tempered with rating Cousins, just because the turnovers were such a problem early in his career. When he looks like he did last night though, makes me think he has...

    NFL 2016 - <whatever Tony is doing>

    Uh...no. If they don't at least limit Zeke Dallas will do what it normally does, run the fuck over us while the D gets a good rest. I think Dallas' D is a little overrated, not so much in how they are playing, but if a team can actually not let them grind out long drives continuously their D...

    It might, depending on what he asks for. Rumors were we were offering some term at $16M a year and they wanted $20M a year. I'd imagine 20 would be the starting point this time around, but it depends what he feels about some of his targets around him (if he wants to keep Jackson or Garcon)...

    NFL 2016 - <whatever Tony is doing>

    Not sure why 2014 was more egregious. Since you were home for Thanksgiving it's roughly the same. Both having to play the night game Sunday and traveling to Dallas for Thursday game at 430. Both just terrible scheduling decisions by the league, but they're basically the same. It'll be an...

    NFL 2016 - <whatever Tony is doing>

    Yeah schedule makers did us no favors. Don't forget if we somehow manage to beat you guys on Thursday (I know, impossible, mighty Cowboys), we'll only be a game and a half back. We also play the Giants final week of the season and already beat them once. It's a little weird not having to...

    uncog I feel that was a poor decision. Feeling high scoring game Thursday. Biggest concern is Zeke going for 200+. No, really. Our offense has to be able to give our D some breaks, or the D is going to need to get some big negative plays (see: sacks) or turnovers.

    NFL 2016 - <whatever Tony is doing>

    Can buy. Although aside from red zone efficiency our offense has been there all year. Obviously Dallas is a much better team than they were in Week 2, but if Cousins throws the ball like this in that game (more important, actually sees the wide open guys deep in that game), we put up 40+ easy.

    Pretty much Ravens v. Steelers for the North. That Christmas Day game could be the whole year.

    NFL 2016 - <whatever Tony is doing>

    Actually putting a team away is important, as is improving our horrific record in primetime games. Also when Dallas/Giants/Vikings/Lions/Tampa all win (which affects division and wild card), plus losing tonight would bring Green Bay within a half game of us...it was important.

    Well Wombat, I guess your Packers were so bad even our inability to win games by more than 1 score was erased.

    This is funny...but sort of true.

    Cousins doesn't give a fuck about the wind.

    Ballsy. But shows very little faith in your D.

    Always comes down to whether our D can hold a lead in the 4th.

    Our defense keeps any opposing team in the game.

    This whole skip the red zone with deep throws so we actually score TD's is working out.

    Okay...less mad about the 2 point try now.

    I'd love to see how bad the wind is going the other way. Longer field goal than XP going good way and it's nothing.

    NFL 2016 - <whatever Tony is doing>

    You don't watch many of our games. One way or the other it's likely to be close. That's just how our team plays. Wind conditions not exactly making for a normal game either. Our D not being able to get off the field at times is always gong to keep teams in it.

    Needed that drive. D get a good rest, and they needed it. Use Reed more in 2nd half.

    I know the wind is bad, but seems fucking stupid to not just kick the XP.

    Jordan Reed top 3 pass catching TE in the league (pass catching, not all around cause his blocking is...not good).

    Well...if you don't block Kerrigan at all it probably won't go well.

    I can't help but laugh every time Trent Murphy tries to get to Rodgers.

    Christ if they start getting 5+ a run too, this will snowball quick.

    Just what we need after a 17 play drive... a 3 and out.
  35. Merrith

    NFL 2016 - <whatever Tony is doing>

    Can't really argue that penalty, Rodgers faked him out of his jock and almost ripped his helmet off. If you mean the catch, I agree they should look at it, but in the end zone you pretty much just need possession at any point with two feet down and the ball breaking the plane, no?

    Hey man, must we use Deadskins? We're a decent team again finally.

    Yeah, Trent Murphy is not going to be quick enough to hold contain on Rodgers.
