NFL thread! What are you thinking?

[fixyurdivot 9,366]

I understand. What I don't understand is............ how did a protest about how minorities  in this country are treated, become about the military???

 

I'm a staunch Conservative, and I respect and hold the military and all who serve/ed in highe regard. But.... this protest was never about the military or the people who serve/ed. How/why has it been taken as such?

 

For the record.... I'm totally against the protests AT THE GAMES.

 

I don't care to go down that rabbit hole and my reason is clear enough.  I will also add that even before all the anthem stuff started, the league had lost its appeal for me.  Too little spirit, too many prima-donnas, and way to choreographed. I haven't felt connected to an NFL team since my days attending Dolphin games at the Orange Bowl during the early 70's. College football has long since filled the void. Go Irish!

 

Lastly, perhaps this thread should be moved to the "Everything Else" forum.

the only thing I don't agree with here is the leading with the head is a natural body brain function. If you have never seen it look up rugby on youtube and watch the mayhem, I played for 20 years and officiate now and the first thing taught is proper tackling , aim for the hips and quads , not launching headfirst into an oncoming train.

 

Maybe I am off base in my comparison. appreciate your thoughts and I do agree that the players are aware of the risks and still take them.

I tend to agree with you here. I like some of the rule changes, not all of them, I also think that some of them need to have better clarification. Watching in the preseason I have seen some questionable calls on the new rules, and with a bit of clarification the rules could be good.

I'm thinking my Lions are gonna suck AGAIN. Only 2 or 3 teams left that haven't been to a Super Bowl, and I'm convinced that the Lions will be last.

As long as Riddick gets me some cheap PPR points in my fantasy league I don't care how they do

Man, you are unearthing some major memories from my childhood.  My Dad took me to almost every game in the late 70's and early 80's growing up.  The Orange Bowl was magic for the home crowd that was neutered when they moved to Joe Robbie in '87.  The Dolphins have never been the same since.

That's karma for introducing pastels to football.

Ok, now that we know all the bad stuff, can we just get back to the game, your teams, and stuff you like or dislike about what your team has done, or is doing, or yay your team won, or boo-boo,your team lost??

 

Like, the Hawks are gunna win the super bowl!

I'm so glad we got rid of Tom Cable, the worst offensive line coach ever

Russell Wilson is gunna be MVP this year

 

I hate the 49ers!

 

See? Stuff like that...

NOTE: if you're a reporter and ask Tom Brady about Alex Guerrero he will walk out on you/hang up.

As a Vikings fan, I agree 100%.

I'd LOVE to talk about stuff like that, Sluggo, but the greatest coach of all time seems to have deliberately sabotaged the team around the greatest quarterback of all time.

 

The Red Sox better come out of their funk and finish the job, because autumn/winter is starting to look really bad here in the Hub of the Universe.

Rams vs. Texans in the Super bowl.

 

Rams beat Vikings in NFC Final

Texans beat Jaguars  in AFC Final

 

Pats finally come back to earth. Seahawks will not make the playoffs.

 

and the NY Jets are on the clock with the first over all pick.

 

GO PACKERS.

...not out of the realm of possibility according to Vegas (they're usually very good with this!)

It appears your list is broken Stroker, it's showing the Giants and the 49'ers ahead of the Hawks

That's just unimaginable...

Huh?

Pete would never sabotage the Hawks! C'mon man!

I heard on the radio that some guys were predicting the Steelers to go to the Super Bowl...I nearly crashed my truck from rolling my eyes so far back into my head. Tomlin is 2-7 against the Patriots so the only way they make it to the SB is if the Patriots lose early in the playoffs. I know there are some steelers fans on this thread, please tell me why I'm wrong. 

 

Also, I hope Aaron Rogers goes on a war path to the Super Bowl. He seems angry this year.

I have a hard time connecting Texas and Baylor to the Green Bay Packers.

 

It can't just be the colors.   The Gold is completely different.

Put some $$ down on them!  You may win big...

Giants have some of the best weapons in the league with an upgraded line. Only problem is the qb can't move can't throw and gets so scared of being hit he throws it in the dirt or falls to the ground. This season may give me a heart attack

...get your meds now... according to Pro Football Focus the Giants have the 25th (out of 32) ranked offensive line this year.
