NFL Discussion Thread - Hall of Fame Game: August 3rd

[coltfanb]

took me a little while to come on here and say this, but congrats to the seahawks on dominating the super bowl with probably the best secondary of all time. im not upset with the game result, i love peyton but being a colts fan i hate the broncos, just wanted peyton to get another one. i may not like all you seahawk fans but i cant even hate on you guys, well actually i can but im not going to because you guys waited long enough for a super bowl so congrats, but im jealous as ****!

Vegas odds now are basically to sucker people in but if you can hit on a big upset and cash in it's good

Weren't the Giants like 60:1 in 2011?

 

[licensed to ball]

Stilln care to elaborate on how they're trying to sucker people in? Srs.

I got BLASTED as a "homer" when I posted that schedule comparison. By a little group that is now conspicuously absent...

(I give ballerific credit for giving congrats)

Sounds like they were the homers

To most people's credit though, the analysts went a long way to make it seem like Peyton & co. were putting up numbers because they were THAT GOOD; reality is, they were playing borderline college teams all season. Auburn could've beat the AFC South (sans Indy)

I think the AFC in general is just soft right now.

Those teams don't hit and get hit right now like Seattle, San Fran, Carolina, NO (just dirty as all hell), Arizona...

 

[Hahahaha]

I thought Cincy was going to do work this postseason because they reminded me the most of an NFC team.

Then Andy Dalton happened.

 

[Chester McFloppy]

That ******g picture.

I said that all year but then DaComeup thought it was to take shots at the Bengals so I eased a bit

Yeah I did too. Obviously Andy's fault but they lost a lot of toughness without Geno and Leon Hall.

And they just lost even more with Zimmer.

 

[fraij da 5 11]

Welp...

Seahawks SB 48 Champs* now

 

[Hahahaha]

After looking at Denver's 2013-2014 schedule I'm surprised anyone thought the Broncos were a real threat. The first legit team they played was their first loss. Srs

Never called you a homer. I called Checks Grossman and the guy with the hideous Seahawks jerseys in his avy homers. If I had anything negative to say about the Seahawks, my logic was flawed and I was a Niners fan.

I lived in Seattle and still keep in touch with friends that live there. I'm happy for that city. They deserve it. Fans love their team, Mariners suck (play in a beautiful ball park) and were robbed of their NBA team.

dang them Seahawks players def pay attention to the media and when they prove em wrong they let me have it afterwards

True. This next season will be very interesting. Will they finally take that next step, or were the last couple seasons the ceiling? So many weapons on offense, great defense... but Marvin Lewis + Andy Dalton.

 

[Hahahaha]

Bengals aren't doing anything with Dalton.

I'm also not sure if Marvin can win in the playoffs

I agree the AFC is soft, I predicted that no matter who came out of the AFC, they were going to lose regardless. Any of the top 7 NFC teams could've taken the Broncs imo. One other thing: I'm seeing this NFL meme where Peyton takes off his "mask" and it's Eli, but I don't get it; didn't Eli win both superbowls that he attended? Doesn't Peyton almost always choke when it counts? I'm kinda slow to get that meme somebody gotta explain it to me.

i think the one with romos face makes more sense lol

 

[dontsteponmyshoes]

:x so tired of hearing about the "12th man"

 

[dmxfury]

I'm guessing TAMU is as well

You know nothing about football, why are you still posting in here?

Congrats to Seattle, can't lie though, I turned the game off after the second half started because I knew that barring some sort of miracle turnaround Denver was done.

Nice to see the Saints with some decent odds, but as always I'll wait until the season actually gets going to get excited about any post season prospects, they've got to move a lot of money around to get back under the cap, keep some key players and fix up the secondary.

I hope Seattle enjoys their time in the limelight.

 

[sb]

if im denver, i go after another corner in the draft and use the money that will not be paid to decker and moreno to get a good proven defensive player currently in the nfl and an available wide receiver. maybe pick up a veteran running back. also, invest on those futuristic capsules in case anyone gets injured. this team was derailed with injuries this year. hopefully 2014 is a better year health wise.

Knoshon is a FA?

Chargers 40/1 odds huh? Not too shabby. Might have to put a bill on them for the hell of it. A 4K payout seems pretty damn handsome.

Raiders 200/1?

Jump. Johnny. We need an explanation.

If the Raiders get Teddy or Manziel those odds have to at least be cut in half right?

Raiders are terrible man, they shouldn't even be tied with Jacksonville for lowest odds we should have it on our own

There's no talent on either side the ball, no playmaker. No QB, no WR, decent RB, questionable OL, and talentless defense. Our GM has a ton to work on.
