The 2017 NFL Season thread

"....5. Philly looks to be the top-dog in the NFC! Go Wentz!! (wonder how that makes
da Dog Pound feel?!).."

My Birds are definitely moving in the right direction this year! The second half of the season will be a true test, especially now that our Pro-Bowl left tackle is out for the season.

[Crazy Joe]

I'm actually not really pissed about trading Benjamin away to the Bills - the more I think about it, the more I think it may snap our offense out of the underperforming funk it's been in as of late. We'll see this Sunday...

[Buc Wheat]

Hey! Bills don't need no help! Knock it off, already!

(am happy Jimmy G finally gets to play... here's hoping he has a
great career!)

[Buc Wheat]

Marc: damn!!! When I heard the news, that was sincerely a bummer!

[Buc Wheat]

Well, my initial feelings of the Bills this year just deflated a bunch after
last night!!

You mean to tell me you had a freaking bye week... w/ the Jets having
a SHORT WEEK and they kicked your arse that badly???!! Whaaaaaaaaaa??!

Guess da Bills are back to being da Bills!

[Buc Wheat]

Week 9: I hate bye weeks! (but if you gotta have one... wk
9 is perfect!)

what did we learn this week:

1. Giants

2. I picked Houston thinking Savage could at least beat Indy... although
my heart wanted to pick Brisett... ahhhhh... one should sometimes listen to
their heart!!

3. Giants!

4. So is Jax for real? (see!! ol' Coughlin still has it, shippies!) Hear me, NY?

5. and what happened to Baltimore?! wow!

6. Hear ol' Jimmy G now: "So this is what 'a sucky team' looks like!"

7. so what do GB fans watch on game day nowadays?

So, on to Denver and then on to ol' Mexico City... long road trip coming up
ahead on the backside!

[Buc Wheat]

Game balls to the Special Team this week!! Always nice
to come outta Denv'a w/ a win! (I think Elway should
suit back up for the next 7 wks... know he could do better)

So what did we learn this wk, shippies:

1. Show of hands: who picked SF this week!!

2. Buffalo: they are who we THOUGHT they were, after all.

3. everyone is hyping Pitt... I just don't see it!! Guess I'll learn
more in wk 15.

4. after all these years, still can't figure out Tenn... good? bad?
can we have some consistency inorder to base better judgements?!

5. I picked Deadskins... sheesh!

6. so w/out Zeke, is this what we should be seeing from the cowpies
going forward?!

7. heehee go SF!!

On to Mexico City!!!

[Buc Wheat]

must be tough following the other 31 teams!

[TeddyNovak]

must be tough following the other 31 teams!

I'm not saying Jay Cutler is better than Tom Brady but consider this.

Tom Brady: 2 Superbowl losses
Jay Cutler: 0 Superbowl losses


Jay Cutler: Never lost to Jay Cutler
Tom Brady: Has lost to Jay Cutler


Checkmate.

[Buc Wheat]

lol

[Crazy Joe]

I REALLY HATE being one of the front stories of the league for reasons other than the stellar play all around of this Carolina Panthers team.

BUT -

We WILL be ok, either way. All we gotta do is beat the Sucky-Neers, and let everything else fall as it may. All WE can do is do what we do.

And hopefully, a chance to go to Mini-Soda to SHIPPIE SHIPPIE SHIPPE on Buc's Cheat-Tri-Oughts....

[Buc Wheat]

whoa whoa ...f'ing WHOA boy!

1 week at a time!!

<slap>
This ain't the time to be looking at no mini-soda, maxi-soda, or any oth'a
type of beverage, shippie!!

[Buc Wheat]

(btw, did you SEE that pathetic D we put fwd in Pitt?!?!!)

(we play like that against maybe Jax or Diego and we won't have
to worry about mini-sodas!!)

[Crazy Joe]

whoa whoa ...f'ing WHOA boy!

1 week at a time!!

I DID say "HOPEFULLY", Buc....

And yes, I did. The Squeelers beat themselves as opposed to New EnglandGland winning it. A PRIME example of snatching defeat from the jaws of Vick-Toe-Reee.....

[Buc Wheat]

Definately! I was expecting the camera to swing back to the
Pitt sidelines and see Pete Carrol standing there!!

[FilmMkr]

All good things must come to an end:

http://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/page/ho ... r-struggle

"If we trade Jimmy, we're the Cleveland Browns, with no succession plan,"

[Buc Wheat]

Ignore the noise! It's all fake news!

[Buc Wheat]

was that jax/bills game the MOST boring game in the world????!!

[Crazy Joe]

Yep. That game was all kinds of bad.

The Saints- Panthers game, though???

Awesome. Result sucked, but proud of the fight my 'Cats put on. But for a play or two, it's a different result.

I'll NEVER blame the refs, as bad as they might have been, for a loss. The Saints were the better team, and I'm pullin' for 'em all the way! I just don't want a Saints-Duckies championship two Sundays from now.
