!!! 2016 Nfl Season Thread !!!

[CantCatchMe]

And quietly Marcus Mariota has established himself as an MVP candidate. I'm happy Derek Carr and him are balling out. These are two of my favorite young guns in the NFL right now.

Dallas has shown otherwise. They are still better than Seattle at this point. They're the only team who will give Dallas a run in the NFC. They should be undefeated too if Williams got out of bounds in that first game against NY.

Which brings me to the Raiders and Lions this season...if they had a good defense they would be much better(the Raiders defense finally showed up against the Broncos). Their defense has made average QB's look good like the Lions haha.

The Steelers game gave me a heart attack. 42 seconds left and they won it. I thought we were done before that.

The defense should improve once slay comes back and if/when Levy comes back.

With Prosise being a more versatile back, and Rawls being the power back- there's no need for him now that's Rawls is set to play this week

[TrevorM3]

i was a little dissapointed they let him go. he was working hard at his position... weird imo.


prosise had one good game.. i mean really?

[1MOREMOD]

Same

[Mr.SugarSkulls]

Well I for one won't miss him!

It's more than just one game that they are basing this on, it's the practices /work ethic etc. That and the fact that he's doing exactly what he did at Notre
Dame, precisely why they brought him in. Personally, I think he has a chance to be this years Rawls. Also word has it they are going to bring Troymaine Pope back in, I was sorry to see him go.

I was never sold on him, though respected him for making it back. He lacks a toughness in a Back that we've come to expect with the likes of Lynch, Rawls and potentially Prosise. There were several times this year I saw him avoid contact when we needed another yard for a first. He also seems to get tripped up easily or just flat out falls on his own. Gotta respect a man who can go through life with a name like Christine though.

How glorious was it to see Kam back, rested, on fresh legs?! When they are healthy there are few that rival the one two punch of Thomas and Chancellor.

I mean, NO ONE hurts Gronk.

Except Earl Thomas that is.

[TrevorM3]

The one thing that did piss me off about michaels was his lack of patience. Prosise still lacks the size to get the short yardage situations. Lets just hope when rawls is back, he is back like last years form.


Gronk is seriously lucky that kam didnt hit him..

I'd rather have Thomas hitting him. Kam's hits are slowly catching up with him in the form of injuries. His rep already proceeds so I'd rather have him using his length to disrupt with the threat of a hit than lowering the boom on every play like he's done in years past. Thomas is built like a bowling ball whose frame is better built to absorb the hit. Just look at the Gronk hit. Earl gives up 65 pounds and bounced off him like he hit a tree but the amount of force he was able to deliver by leaving his feet at the last second and launching himself at Gronks chest was phenomenal. Gronk actually looked every bit concussed on that play from a blow to the chest.

I'm dating myself but it reminded me of Drago in Rocky IV using PSI to measure his punching power.

"...Vot-ever he hits, he destroys.."

[TrevorM3]

meh.

i've actually been pretty dissapointed in ET's tackling this year. he has missed quite a few, and is always seemingly trying to launch himself into a another player to bring him down.

i'd consider sherman a better tackler. look at the difference on tape.

No need to roll the tape, I agree, people don't appreciate Sherms tackling, he's a technician. Just look at last week where he got called for a horse collar yet replay clearly showed it was all shoulder pad. Hell, I wear #25 and if you're going to wear another mans jersey you best believe!

Yes, this year I've seen Earl take some weird angles or just flat out miss but notice most of that is when Kam is out. They work in tandem and without Kam he has trouble setting up those hits. Last year when Kam sat out I was watching a mic'ed up segment featuring him it was particularly painful to watch. However, I'm just talking the straight hitting power that he delivers. Sherm doesn't do that. Another good example, how many times this year has Earl come out of no where denying the goal line at the 1? I count 3 or 4 TD saving hits.

Another day, another victory......
