>ATL: "we are sticking with Ryan, he is our quarterback"
Not like they have a choice; I doubt Julio wants Sean Renfree throwing to him for the rest of the season
if a black QB has an undefeated season and goes 19-0 I'm gonna fuckin scream, they will never stop talking about how a black man accomplished it but white boi Tom Brady couldnt
Went to the Packer game yesterday, had a blast despite all the rain.

No shit, Mack got 5 sacks in the span of 20 minutes with one forced fumble that turned into a safety and icing on the cake was he caught that penalty flag that was thrown at him. (anyone see the reaction of the ref?)
He wasn't in contention for Player of the Week since it's all about QBs stat padding off tin can teams.

Yes to a certain extent. It won't be a major talking point, but the black announcers will 100% make references to it. Actually I take that back. It will be a major talking point a few times.

literally how do they keep doing it? Did Butler and Ryan really learn THAT much from Revis while he was here?
>>64240882
They actually do it, just last week ESPN said a white boi didn't get in trouble for a TD dance because he's not black, a couple years ago a North Carolina newspaper made a comic criticizing Cam Newton because he was sucking and ESPN actually discussed if it was racist to criticize him, ESPN is so fucking bad

>>64240875
Cowboys always fuck up the draft so it's mostly irrelevant.
Jerry Jones is one of those GMs that is fixated on overpriced aging free agents and completely ignores the draft. See how he didn't draft a single QB at any round since Romo.
Now you are stuck with washups like Matt Cassel because you didn't take the time to groom/develop a successor for Romo.
>>64240789
>CAR: Rivera plays with fire, refuses to sit starters
I like Ron but he's being retarded.
"Muh record" is never worth losing someone especially when your team is as filled with literally who's as it is now.
Very rarely do teams get this chance, to rest at the end of the season, he should take it. The buccs especially are going to be playing all out in week 17 for that playoff spot.
If he doesn't start sitting people, he is going to lose some.

http://www.nfl.com/videos/oakland-raiders/0ap3000000600757/Raiders-Khalil-Mack-catches-flag
Kinda wish the Punter got some due, since he's really emulating Lechler, he doesn't have his raw power, but he's got good accuracy. He pinned them within the 15 off 5 punts and was one of the big factors for how the Raiders got that safety.
>>64240932
they'll lose to the Giants, for sure. But I don't think anyone is going to be stressing when they win a playoff game and are 16-1. Its just one more win towards the super bowl.
>>64240914

IDK guys it really makes no sense.

>>64240933
>Cowboys always fuck up the draft
Confirmed for not actually paying attention. Jerry doesn't even do the draft anymore. Dallas has actually drafted really really well the last few years. Everyone they have picked in the first round over the last 3 years is currently starting for the team and has made the pro bowl. They are even consistently starting 3 rookies from this years draft.
Also I would be 100% surprised if we didn't draft a qb in the first round. If I had to bet on it, I would say its Goff.
>my face when "people" actually think the team with the best defense and a top 10 offense in the NFL will miss the playoffs this season
>Alex Smith (objectively and statistically a top 15 QB, it isn't even debatable)
>Jamaal Charles (best RB in the game who will be 100% healthy, unlike the entirety of last year, he will put up 1,000+YDs/10+TDs/5.0+YPC,)

I can't figure out Stephen A, he does race bait but he's also a republican that thinks all black people should be republican
>>64240939
You're stupid if you want him to rest starters. Hes been taking them out after we get a big lead and that's good enough. They have a first round bye clinched too, no reason to get the players any more rusty by making them sit multiple weeks.

As much as ESPN likes to think it is, rushing yards are not worth more than passing yards in the NFL. If anything they are worth less because it takes less skill at your position.

Post yfw you remember that Patriots don't have a single player on their roster set to make more than $10 mil next season.
And next season's free agency (especially on the defensive side of the ball) is shaping up to be fucking huge.
This was a "rebuilding" year for the patriots in the sense they grow their talent and go for a run next year, yet they are still going to win the owl this year, that is belichick's and brady's legacy.

Neither yard is more or less valuable than the other, m8.
Football science aside, it's time for some math. 1 rushing yard = 1 passing yard
What happens when the Chiefs actually win it?
>>64241219
When grading people based on their ability at their position I'm going to judge a QB based on the yards his position is designed to get instead of rushing yards.
>>64240788

QB distributes the ball in an attempt to get it progressed down the field. If he does that carrying it, handing it off, or throwing it, those are all from him at his position which is granting him the ability to make those plays.
>>64241259
reporting.
>>64241275
Yes but there is a much bigger advantage having a QB who is elite at throwing than one that is running, specifically strategically.
You can manipulate the safeties much more if you are an elite thrower, while you are mostly messing with LBs if you're an elite rusher.
>>64241259
>>64241216
I didn't even mention Tom Brady or the patriots, you brought him up, you get his dick out your mouth
What if the Chiefs meet the Bengals in the playoffs. One of them HAS to actually win a playoff game, this would be quite the spectacle.

I play MUT in Madden 16, I'm a 90 OVR and haven't put any money into the game, although I've had help from friends along the way but nothing that major, just helped me get started.
I did the original journey and the second one and cleared one of the gauntlets, plus I do the weeklys and I've learned how to make money on the auction house. It's addicting but cards don't really retain much value so it's kinda bullshit. That and the pay to win aspect is somewhat relevant, I have a friend with a 94 OVR team and I romp him regularly with my 90 team unless he uses glitch plays or just chews the clock on every down.
H2H seasons is decent but people quit extremely quick and you don't get the full reward for the win as a result, which is annoying. Not to mention once you hit the playoffs, you run into all the YT glitchers and cheesers who don't know how to actually play football and just exploit EA's retarded AI.

holy kek senpai it's like you don't know the patriots offense is almost exclusively passing and has lost most of their weapons this season.
You know what that means for a defense's stats right? Surely I don't need to explain football basics to you
>>64241305
And if you can do both then you are better than a qb that can only do one or the other
>>64241331
Feels weird not seeing baltimore in the playoff hunt for once. Really weird.
>>64240959
Literally every post on /sp/ that isn't about a player's sexuality is about their race, so don't pretend it isn't relevant in sports.
>>64241331
sup
>>64241233
That's dumb. Plays break down or there are designed run plays.
For everyone else
5000 passing yard qb = 2000 rushing yard rb
1 sack = 200 yard passing
1 reception yard = 2.75 passing
Not all yards are of equal value or all plays
5000 yards passing = 2000 yards rushing = 1820 receiving = 25 sacks
There are some oddities but it works
>>64241403
If you're being passed up by a back up QB in passing stats you can't do both.
Only the elite QBs can manipulate safeties in this league, unless you have a top 5 receiving deep threat who can generally do it themselves like Moss did.

See the NFC East is like the SEC, they're the best division and they just beat up on each other and give each other bad records. Look at yesterday, Eagles dominate the bills, Redskins obliterate the Bears, Cowboys would have gotten redemption and smashed Green Bay if Romo was healthy, Giants will beat the Dolphins tonight. So enough with this meme that the nfc east is bad, we are going to beat the Seahawks and panthers in the playoffs, this I promise you

>>64241570
uhh, Cam Newton has an elite defense and a all-pro TE. Same with Wilson although his TE is def worst and ded now
>>64241492
We can't. Just enjoy the ride of watching the 2 most entertaining QBs in football play a 10 year game of anything you can do, I can do better.

They were the 31st ranked defense, as they said multiple times during that playoff run and in the Super Bowl, but hey I guess you know better than the fuckin NFL!! Your defense of black men is bizarre, seek help for your fetish!
>>64241589
I love Cam (I'm a Panthers fan), I'm just afraid that Cam is gonna b the Peyton in this situation. and I hate Wilson
>>64241479
They don't think it be like it is, but it do
>>64240785
Certainly before they have clenched Home Field.
That said, in the later stages of a blowout, yeah, pull the ones that you can. Which Riverboat did.
>>64241603
neither can be peypey or brady because scrambling QBs have a shelf life of 7 years at most
>>64241494
I have no idea what you are talking about. I don't watch ESPN, it's usually bad.
Think about it this way.
If AD ran for 2500 yards he'd be the mvp. If Tom Brady threw for 2500 yards, he wouldn't have a job.
Not all yards are equal. The reason for that is there are no incompletions in the run game just fumbles but they are harder to get and more valuable. They keep drives alive, fewer generally turnovers and the Last most important thing
Rush yards are cheaper. The amount of money spent for rushing (wrs vs rbs) because of more available talent in the draft and it being an easier position to learn to play is much less that passing yards. Running backs are cheaper generally.
Tldr version what's more impressive 2000 yards rushing or 3000 passing? Yards aren't equal value wise
>>64241601
They were the 31st ranked defense in YARDS. The single most worthless stat in football. Points matter. Call me when Brady drags a real bottom dweller defense to the Super Bowl.
>>64241582
But he doesn't cheat and have even a decent receiver corp or kicker. Ergo, he's not Tom Brady.
>>64241625
>comparing HBs and QBs
wow its literally nothing.
rushing stats for HBs are worth more than rushing stats for a QB because the HB's job in the modern era is generally to take pressure off the QB and keep the defense from pass rushing every down.
A QB running doesn't do that like a HB does because the defense is still accounting for the same player, all the defense has to do is a read and then pass rush.
Seriously can't believe you are genuinely trying to compare HBs with QBs in modern football
DA TOXINS ARE DA SHIT
>>64240797
ANYBODY doing it when Brady couldn't is OK in my book. Fuck him. Also, I believe he rode in on a horse? Fuck the horse as well.

>will require once in a lifetime Lb to cover him
I got some bad news for you senpai. Kuechly is that once in a lifetime lb and he is still getting better.
>>64241630
Yards is the most important stat, you don't get points without yards ya dip! I'll tell you what though, call me when Cam or Russell lead the 15th ranked defense in points allowed to a Super Bowl, I will never hear from you again ;) goodbye!
>>64241645
>cam doesn't take steroids regularly
I don't believe you.
Also a little football history for you because I doubt you were alive at the time.
Adam Ventieri missed 2 of his 3 FGs in their victory over carolina in the superb owl yet still managed to pull out a victory.
>>64240958
Keep dreaming kid. He's a beast.
>>64241683
i live in washington. the hype around him is ridic here, everyone thinks hes the best QB in the league ever since they won their first super bowl. And the dude comes off as a huge douche. He just seems very fake.
>>64240939

That's never going to happen because they're meme players, I'm just tired of the "Brady dragged a shit defense to the Super Bowl" meme. He didn't. He dragged an average defense to the Super Bowl in a weak year for the AFC and then lost to a 9-7 meme team.

>>64241780
>mfw they go 16-1
First I was afraid.
I was petrified.
This is gonna sound crazy but hear me out. The Falcons have an easy path to becoming a contender in 2016.
1) Trade Matt Ryan for a first round draft pick. He's elite but he doesn't fit in Shanahan's scheme. You could DEFINITELY get a first rounder for him, which you will need for Step 4.
2) Acquire a big physical corner, there will be plenty on the market this offseason, especially Brandon Browner who is horribly misused in the Saints defense and will not stick around.
3) Draft Vernon Hargreaves III with your first draft pick. Use his skills to compliment the big corner starting on the other side.
4) Draft Ezekiel Elliot with your second first round pick. Avoid Derrick Henery because a bust. You need a bruising back for this to work and to compliment Freeman
5) Get a read option QB off the market. Literally every read option QB is available this offseason, you can take your pick. RG3, Manziel, Kaepernick, all of the best will be there. Just make it happen.
BAM. You've got a punishing Defense, elusive QB, and unstoppable rushing attack. Add this onto the falcons loaded receiving corpsand you are basically the new Seattle of the South.

funny because I remember the patriots did the exact same thing to the colts. They never even had a flag thrown.

THAT'S RUSSEL WILSON'S BIRD

No. The panthers are not done breaking him yet.
>>64241500
I wanted to make a budget squad with mostly golds and a few elites at key positions but I decided to go with the full team and I quite enjoy it, though grinding the AH sucks. I've gotten one new player in the past 2 weeks or so, it was the BCA Eric Berry.
And yeah, making them rage quit is extremely satisfying, especially after shutting down their nanos on defense and abusing them on offense. Just wish you'd get the full reward for the win.

I for one am glad we didn't ruin another Carr's career.
Also sacks on Brady are worth 5, so I'm kinda thinking Watt is a bust.
how many years until he's the GOAT?
>>64242089
There literally isn't a player on the Texans defense that isn't a bust

Do >we have a chance of not getting BTFO by GB?
>>64241370
I miss that 2003 team. Sure Brady wasn't as nearly as good as he was later in his career but that defense was nasty with all of the following in their primes Ty law, Rodney Harrison, Richard Seymour, Teddy Bruschi, Willie Mcginest and Mike Vrabel. 2004 was rough for the secondary considering Troy Brown ended up having to play cb for a while but they also had some great depth at linebacker.
>>64242282
Tyrod Taylor 22 tds 7 ints
Cam Newton 35 tds 10 ints
Seriously no. Tyrod Taylor is doing an admirable job in Buffalo but the Cam has lead Carolina to #1 scoring offense in the NFL.
>>64242355

>>64241520
I have been impressed by Danny. Actually think he has the best hands on the team. Hopefully he stays on for the next few years as he has good chemistry with Brady.

Christ, why do queefs fans even post? Do you fucks ever benefit, inform, arouse concern in ANYONE on this board? No. You posted this because you are solipsistic memeing pieces of shit who think they matter because people keep replying to your stupid copypastas and memes. I can hear you just now, you're thinking "xD but le smeth is elit-"

I dont care about your fucking QB either. This is a thread where you post shitty-made memes of your pathetic team for validation, hell it could be /s4s/ for all that matters - you are all just cancerous attention whores. The idiots on this board who continue to reply to your shitposts have convinced you that you have any kind of worth, guess what: you fucking dont. You're valued for nothing. Why you think posting the same fucking shit in every god damn /nfl/ thread is funny is fucking beyond me.
Words cannot describe the utter amount of hatred I have for you classless pieces of human garbage. I cannot stand your vapid fanbase or the way you constantly scream during a fucking game. You are literal scum who lives for nothing more than getting validation from random autists on the internet and you think we're going to tolerate you parading your fucking boring memes on our board? Think again, fuckface. Fans like you are the most boring people any NFL fan could ever meet, because you do nothing but spam the same fucking memes and copypastas or SOME OTHER SHIT WE DON'T CARE ABOUT. Fuck you. You have the audacity to expect us to care when you never provide any interesting discourse or say something interesting, you literally just consume and regurgitate SHIT.

It's going to be a couple of weeks. Everybody expected him to return Week 17, 16 at the earliest. He only just got back to Seattle and started rehabbing.
They signed Bryce Brown to their 53-man roster to fill Rawls' spot.
Fred Jackson likely the starter, with Harris as the #2 and Brown for depth.
>>64242407

>>64242428
how can you even compare him to ryan leaf?
leaf had one of the worst rookie seasons of all time, was a locker room cancer and had anger management issues
clowney's issues have been that he can't stay on the field, he's been pretty good when on it and is starting on the texans defensive line
have you just committed so heavily to your opinion that clowney is a bust because it's a funnier narrative that you can't stray from it now?
ryan leaf, really now?
the equivalent of clowney sacking brady twice if clowney was the next leaf would be leaf throwing for like 3 or 4 TDs on the 2000 ravens defense
(ryan leaf's statline against the 2000 ravens defense: 9-23, 78 yards, 0 TDs, 1 interception)

Lel, with Watt being double and sometimes triple teamed, of course another player would end up sacking Brady.
Everyone knows Clowney is going to end up being released/traded. What I want to see is if the Pats could work him out and see what he can actually be capable of. Belichick might be able to do some wonders with that nigga

It's so boring and old, he runs the same few plays on both sides of the ball and it's easy to exploit.

Most teams don't win the owl anyways, so it's pretty stupid to say that resting players is the cause.
So what are the chances the extra point distance gets changed back to normal next year?
This change has objectively been a disaster and what were seeing is RNG effecting the point differential in close games.
As a result the W/L of some teams is incorrectly scued and its affecting the playoffs.
>>64243203
It's not changing back.
Which notable players might have rings if not for the patriots? Steve Smith, Rivers, Ladanian Tomlinson, Brian Dawkins. Anyone else?
>>64243203
thats exactly what the nfl wanted.

so I have an idea, a pretty good one
So I came here recently from a different website and I'm lovin it so far but I wanna spice it up a bit. I noticed you guys like to go back and forth at each other or as you call it "banter". So I was thinking about starting "Got Eem Wars"( in honor of the new Star Wars lol). So basically when two of you are going back and forth we kind of vote and we vote by quoting the person that we think had the Better banter and say "Got Eem!" And whoever racks up the most "got eems" wins and they win the Got Eem War
Thoughts?
>>64243203
>So what are the chances the extra point distance gets changed back to normal next year?
Almost 100%
Many of the owners have voiced displeasure and it's on the table to be voted back to normal.
People forget this was a trial period.
It's too risky for teams and also serves to drive the kicker salary up.
The only way it stays is if they don't get around to voting on it.

what does a computer algorithm have anything to do with human behavior? oh, you don't know what RNG means?

Field goal kicks and extra points are not generated by computers and not RNG. Random numbers aren't a factor.
If your kicker can't make a 33 yard kick git gud.
>>64243203
I think the extra point should stay at 33 yards, but this rule where
>a blocked EP run back for a TD is only 2 points
Fuck that, that's a touch down. Make it 6.
>yfw Josh Norman has held DeAndre Hopkins, Mike Evans, TY Hilton, Dez Bryant, and Julio Jones to a combined 150 yards receiving and 0 TDs

That idea is retarded, a team shouldn't be able to score 6 points after just giving up a touchdown. and especially not during the extra point
>>64243397
>team A makes touchdown
>team B blocks XP and returns it for a touchdown
>team A blocks XP and returns it for a touchdown
>repeat ad nauseam
everyone gets to score touchdowns without the game clock ever running, sounds GREAT!
>>64243244
>Steve Smith will retire without a ring
>>64243424
>panthers fans are surprised that teams can't move the ball against a dominant front 7
>gives credit to CBs
>>64243481
But then it's flawed if blocking a FG and running it back for a TD counts as 6 points, which it does.
You can't have it both ways.
Standardize it or the game is essentially broken.
>>64243424

There is a reason this is like his 8th year and this is the first time anyone has heard of him, tired of all these new Panther "fans" that worship BBC and Cam Newton and defend black men like youre members of black lives matter, fucking cuuck
>>64243600
So just because the clock is not running, the act of blocking the kicked ball, which is CLOSER to the uprights than most FGs and thus HARDER to block but nonetheless still blocked and returned to the other side if the field for points is somehow 4 points less impressive?
I don't buy it.
>>64243424
>Hopkins vs. Panthers
5 receptions, 53 yards
>Evans vs. Panthers
3 receptions, 32 yards, probably 8 drops
>Hilton vs. Panthers

>Bryant vs. Panthers
2 receptions, 26 yards
>Jones vs. Panthers gm. 1
7 receptions, 88 yards
that's 214 yards for an average of 42 yards per receiver, so still pretty impressive, but not 30 yards per receiver impressive
do you have individual coverage stats on norman or something?

Must be your first time watching because Norman has had a name for awhile but ran his mouth and wound up in the dog house for 2 years. Plus he finished last year the #3 ranked DB by PFF and is currently #1 this year by PFF
>>64243424
all of those receivers are shit.
So is this meme finally dead?
>>64243481
Here's a video of the play.
http://www.nfl.com/news/story/0ap3000000595583/article/saints-record-first-twopoint-blocked-extra-point-return
Explain to me how this us 4 points less impressive than a TD simply because "the clock isn't running".
That's a moot point because the clock hitting zero doesn't end active plays as it is.
>>64243789
running a TD, at full speed from the 20 yard line (80 yards), even the fastest runners in the NFL would take 10+ seconds to score a touchdown. you realize how much of a gift a 0 second touchdown is?
>>64243840
46 yards of Julio's 88 yards came once Norman was off the field and specifically came against Bene on the play where he broke his ankle, but PFF is a fantastic place to statwatch
>>64243789
I'm pretty sure the rationale lies within how the XP/2PC phase in one extra down is more like a "bonus round" to score extra points as a reward for scoring a touchdown. FGs are not part of that, so they are treated normally.
it kind of makes sense when you think about all the point values for ways you can score, except for safeties.
>>64243954
O'Brien seriously needs to grow a full beard of something. I'm tired of looking at his chin pussy
WHOSE
>>64243840
again, almost all those receivers had either a rookie or a backup QB

except, you know, if you're down TWO touchdowns with only 10 seconds left, and then returning an extra point for a touchdown without any clock run gives you a chance to win/tie the game, just need to recover your onside kick.
that shouldn't be allowed

WILSON'S
>>64243955
it's not about how impressive the play is, it's about how a team that just gave up a touchdown shouldn't immediately be given the opportunity to score their own during the other team's "extra" point
if one team can only gain one point or two points on the play, and they're the team that just got the ball into the endzone, why should the team that just gave up a touchdown be allowed to score six?
>>64244010
all those receivers have also put up much better numbers with the same QB throwing to them this year

Clowney isn't a bust yet. His surgery was major, and another year removed from it could help a lot. He has been great in run defense, and has shown improvement in pass rushing throughout the year. He has already justified a starting spot at least as a two down player, with a good chance he has not reached his ceiling yet.
However, it is concerning that Clowney is arguably still the best pick from that draft.
2nd round: Xavier Sua-Filo (G) - Bust
3rd round: C.J. Fiedorowicz (TE) - bust, likely the worst starting TE in the NFL
4th round: Louis Nix (DT) - Bust, out of the league already
5th round: Tom Savage (QB) - bust, perpetually on IR and showed nothing when he played briefly
The later rounds were a little more successful, but still only produced backup-tier players that are starting out of necessity.
>>64244359
no
but he's pretty good, especially for a 2nd year QB
>>64244434
hopkins **unironically** went for 8-101-1 against the bucs with mallett throwing to him
so
also you think julio isn't top 10? lel
>>64244360
fanbases regress to the mean just like teams do senpai
>>64244508
Actually su-a-filo is starting right now man and is actually doing well, especially since rookie linemen have the largest learning curves in the NFL. You should check up on your own team every once in a while. If Clowney keeps improving like he is, that becomes a 3/7 as far as expected value goes. Those aren't bad odds in a draft
Top 10 draft bust from the 2014 draft

carolina's defense is really good in part because of norman, not in spite of him, he's been their best corner by far
do you think luke kuechly or thomas davis is covering those receivers? because the original post was based solely off the receivers numbers when norman was covering them
idk just why you're so upset about this

>no rings and a losing record vs 4 rings 3 superbowl MVPs and most wins in playoff history
lol cam needs to make a championship game before he can even talk to brady
>>64246575
completion % is overrated, YPA is much better at rating efficiency IMO
>>64246587
No, I'm saying don't try to complain about Cam Newton's receivers dropping the ball when Brady's receivers have dropped the most this.

The odds of him playing in the playoffs is the same as JT's odds of playing in the playoffs: 0

Can I become a Steelers fan and just yell "6 RANGS" at everyone when they reply to me?
the Eagles would be an elite team if their receivers didn't drop every other pass and if they permanently bench DeMarco Murray.
They just started getting hot, they'll upset someone in the playoffs this year.

No one will talk about it except the /pol/ sports fans. Nobody else is that obsessed with race
>>64243197
Did you see how it worked out for Indianapolis?
They were 13-0, and it was obvious to everyone that the playoffs L vs. Pittsburgh was mainly because of them not clicking.
Maybe Rivera should rest them the last game, but not right now.

>post has nothing to do with Brady
>patfags try to insert Brady into conversation
How bootyblasted will you be when Cam goes 19-0, something that Brady will NEVER accomplish?

They won't get rid of Matt Ryan
You're completely correct about VH3
They don't need another back. Those niggas are a dime a dozen. If anything, they need to trade up for Tunsil so they can move Jake Matthews inside or the other side.

You did not include the turnovers by Carolina defense and how they started in favorable position each possesion
>>64248929
>you did not include the turnovers by Carolina defense
Because that is irrelevant as most of the turnovers are in our own territory. We win the turnover battle with an 18+ turnover ratio. This is both the offense and the defense as the offense has to limit turnovers and the defense has to gain them.
>and how they started in favorable position each possession
Actually Arizona beats us in favorable field position and drive success rate. We only beat them in scoring. We go for it on 4th and succeed most of the time so instead of settling for 3 we go for 6.

Cam Newton is 6'5 250; you'd be flattened in seconds.

Wow you are just fucking retarded.
