skidmarkgn Posted September 22, 2016 Share Posted September 22, 2016 (edited) Week 3 Predictions Patriots over Texans Cardinals over Bills Raiders over Titans Redskins over Giants Dolphins over Browns Ravens over Jaguars Packers over Lions Bengals over Broncos Panthers over Vikings Bucs over Rams Seahawks over 49ers Jets over Chiefs Chargers over Colts Steelers over Eagles Cowboys over Bears Saints over Falcons Current Record: 19-13 Gonna have to disagree with the 3 I crossed out. -The Redskins are a huge mess right now, on the field and off, and the giants are well ahead of them in every way. -The Bengals won't be able to handle the Broncos' D and I think Dalton falls apart while the on the other side of the ball the Bengals secondary accumulates a zillion penalty yards -Finally, the Chargers are also completely dysfunctional right now, losing Woodhead is the final nail in their coffin. Half of me wants to disagree on the Seahawk/49ers pick too but I won't give up on Seattle quite yet. The injuries are kind of scary right though. Wilson, Baldwin, Rawls, Lockett, Ifeti... the offense is in such shambles right now that holding a team to 9 points last week wasn't good enough. The 9ers defense just gave up 500+ yards and 40-something points though so maybe the Seattle defense can hold the 9ers down enough for the offense to squeak out enough to win... maybe. Edit: Know what, I'm gonna add Patriots over the Texans as well. Haven't heard if Gronk is playing or not but a 3rd stringer and Edelman are the QB's tonight, the dark magic has to end eventually right?

It's not that the Giants are a wonderful team, but the Redskins do stink and the Giants are good enough to beat the bad teams put in front of them right now. I was going through NYG's schedule the other day and this is a team that could finagle their way to 10-6/11-5 just by beating the lousy teams on their schedule and treading water (or even a little worse) against the better teams in their schedule. Their division sucks, the NFC North/AFC North have some craptacular teams in them, and NYG has a third-place scheduline (meaning the Rams and Saints). I think they'd be roadkill for a good Wild Card in the playoffs, but I don't have issues seeing them get there right now. As for Colts/Chargers? The Colts stink. I'd pick the Colts because the game is in Indianapolis, but that's a franchise that just isn't very good and it's a shame because their division is very winnable. Indy's GM ought to be fired for the job he's done bungling everything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

acasser Posted September 24, 2016 Share Posted September 24, 2016 Oi, less than 3 weeks in and already 2 shutouts. The bad football epidemic is growing. To be fair, it's two bad football teams that got shutout. I don't care that Houston is 2-1, they're still a mediocre team at best.... and the Rams are simply bad against everyone not named "the Seattle Seahawks". The historical average is ~8 shutouts/season, at least since the last expansion in 2002. Two shutouts in three weeks isn't too far above that number, so I wouldn't worry about it very much.

Dang, I thought it was far less common than that. Still though, the 9ers defense isn't "shutout good" (just ask Carolina) and Houston payed Osweiler waaaaaaaaaaay too much to put up zero against the Patriots. Seems like the Thursday games really are becoming damaging to the overall product, more often than not the Thursday night games are just awful, I'm sure they're too profitable to ditch for the league though.

Still though, the 9ers defense isn't "shutout good" (just ask Carolina) and Houston payed Osweiler waaaaaaaaaaay too much to put up zero against the Patriots. So did I, at least until I looked up the relevant numbers. The number is ~3.2% of games, or once every other week, and those numbers actually go back all the way to 1992. I mean, I didn't think it was that common but I have a difficult time arguing with legitimate statistics because that's what they're there for -- they make a better record than our faulty memories and lovely things such as "confirmation bias". As for the specific games this year? San Francisco's defense may not be "shutout good", but Los Angeles' offense is absolutely "shutout putrid". And New England still plays good defense and has the most brilliant scheming mind (Bill Belichick, *sigh*) to rely upon, plus Houston had to travel a long way on a short week, so that doesn't help.

skidmarkgn Posted September 25, 2016 Share Posted September 25, 2016 Los Angeles' offense is absolutely "shutout putrid". Wow, I guess so. The Panthers put up what? 46 on them last week and Seattle's already dumped 21 in the first half. Just makes it hurt even more knowing they just straight have the Seahawks number. Although, the formula seems pretty easy, the better the pass rush, the better your chances against Seattle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zio_Sam87 Posted September 25, 2016 Share Posted September 25, 2016 Well... Just half time and 49ers are sucking out clear and loud... Damn. And again that Garbage Gabbert can't throw a fucking ball... Plus, did you see the first snap? He went for handoff, without a single damn back on field!!

I know this is going to come as a stunner to you.... but did you know that Blaine Gabbert had the NFL's longest active streak of "consecutive games throwing at least one TD pass" before today's game? One of my friends, who is a Jets fan, must be breaking things left and right with how bad this game is going for them. This is precisely why I didn't want Ryan Fitzpatrick back, especially after the holdout and the massive price tag. When he's good, Ryan Fitzpatrick is very, very good. But he has far too many days like today when his decision-making goes well beyond "awful" to "What the fucking fuck is he thinking?" I know the normal rule of thumb is not to blame the QB for an interception when the ball is tipped, but the two earlier picks in the KC end zone were balls he tried to force to receivers who were blanketed. If I'm Seattle's defense, I'm licking my chops for next week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I'm Seattle's defense, I'm licking my chops for next week. The 9ers offense isn't their main problem, they have scored a pretty decent amount of points in all their games. Some would say it was all garbage time today but Seattle's starters were still in there and I'm sure they wanted to hold 3 teams in a row to 10 or under. As for the last part, I was thinking the same thing about the Jets defensive line. Especially with Russ being double gimped. Gonna be a low scoring, ugly, game.

Well I knew that, still thinking most of that TD came on garbage time and/or was kudos of WR/TE, not to him. He never threw a 20+ yard if I recall correct. Also, to my eyes mean nothing to have a longest active streak if at the end of the day 50%+ of that game went lost. The 9ers offense isn't their main problem, they have scored a pretty decent amount of points in all their games. Some would say it was all garbage time today but Seattle's starters were still in there and I'm sure they wanted to hold 3 teams in a row to 10 or under. I don't think so, they ARE the problem... last in the league in 3rd down conversion... first in 3 and out... If you can't stay on the field, then your defense have to... and get tired and give up point (well, yesterday not the case since they went 0-14 in less than 3 minutes)... Only threat is Hyde, so if opponent stop him, it's over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

acasser Posted September 30, 2016 Share Posted September 30, 2016 So anyone looking forward to the halftime how for the Superbowl (lady gaga) I get laughed at in my household for this, but I've switched the channel to Animal Planet ("Puppy Bowl!") for the past several years and I enjoy that immensely. And there are precious few musical acts the NFL could come up with to make me decide otherwise. Lady Gaga is not one of those acts that will make me pass up Puppy Bowl. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
