NFL Gameday Week 16 [Archived] Football • Page 2

They didn't ruin the Jags season. They just happened to be built to beat them. Shit happens. At least your team lost within the rules 3 times instead of getting shafted by a bad call and then vanishing into the pit of nothingness for almost 20 years!

 

Fans on the Bills board I post at still pretending the Peterman disaster isn't the most important loss for the team this season. Instead trying to say that the awful passing games Taylor had against the Saints or Patriots are worse. Like...Assuming all the games break they way they are expected, the Ravens will be 10-6, the Titans 8-8 and the Chargers and Bills will be 9-7. The Bills then lose head to head tiebreaker but NOPE IT'S DEFINITELY NOT THE PETERMAN GAME THAT'S GOING TO COST THEM THE PLAYOFFS, it was Tyrod!

I've never seen such blind denial. I've never seen such hope for a 5th round pick backup quarterback, let alone one that threw up all over himself and played one of the worst halves of football in NFL history in his first start. I know what the underlying reason is, and our fanbase (and this region to an extent) really sucks for it.

 

Randall I'm sorry, you aren't winning this argument.

 

This is all without mentioning the playbook thing

 

Man, I forgot the good teams Rivers had and how often they came up short in the playoffs. They should have went to at least a couple of super bowls.

 

WAS Fred Taylor top three?

 

Behind Emmitt Smith and Curtis Martin I'd say. This was before LaDainian Tomlinson was out there, after Barry Sanders, and I absolutely think Taylor was better than Priest Holmes. Would also put him ahead of Eddie George, slight edge over Edgerrin James.

EDIT: shit, forgot about Marshall Faulk. And Jerome Bettis. Let's say Taylor was top 5.

He got hurt for some of 1999 but the years following that he averaged between 1700 and 1900 all purpose yards

 

Cool, then I agree hahaha.

 

Jimmy Smith was without question top 3 WR though. His only superiors at the time were Marvin Harrison & Randy Moss. By the numbers he was better than Isaac Bruce.

That year he set a then-record for most consecutive 100-yard games (9 in a row) and led the AFC in receiving yards.

 

i guess but when your loss has so much to do with special teams and so little to do with them actually stopping your offense or getting a lot of yards, it's harder to feel like you got beat straight up. The Jags outgained the SHIT out of the Titans in terms of yards that game. We just, apparently, had an AWFUL special teams that constantly lost the ball and failed to cover punts or block for returns? Reggie Barlow had 2 early fumbles that led to points and they still didn't pull him out of the game, lol wtf

They literally were NOT stopping Jimmy Smith. He had nearly 100 yards and a TD af halftime, and could have had 3 touchdowns by the mid third quarter if not for holding penalties calling back two perfect bombs, that CB could not handle him. Taylor also reached 100 yards in 9 carries.

Idk man. I'd rather not give Jeff Fisher the credit to be honest with you, fuck that shit we could have beat the Rams in that SB.

 

Feels like a preseason game

 

Packers entire team seems like 2nd stringers.

 

If they were going to go four downs there why not run with Williams on third and fourth?

 

Fucking AWESOME and almost chilling to see / hear the "SKOL" chants at Lambeau

 

All our first stringers are injured

 

It’s gonna be sick when the Vikings lose in the second round

 

ideal scenario - Bills beat Patriots

They take the playoff spot from the Titans rather than taking it from the Ravens, and the Jags hop into that 2 seed if they beat the 49ers. Fuck yeah Buffalo. I'm ready to experience heartbreak with you @ClarettsGreyGoose

 

Oh I dont care if they do or not. I'm only a Vikings fan when they play GB. I just hate the Packers.

 

I'll take a W today for sure. But because it's Bills/Patriots, I am not in any way expecting one.

 

It’s gonna interesting to watch Kirk Cousins play against his future team today.

 

Still wouldn’t had mattered lol

 

Go Bills Go Rams and GO JAGS

 

I have absolutely zero expectations for this game. If the Bills lose, oh well, hopefully the Jets or Titans win. If the Bills win, Fuck Tom Brady and merry Christmas, but this is still the Bills, they'll just lose a win and you're in game to Miami next week just like they did to Pittsburgh in 04.

 

Time to keep the slim playoff hopes alive

 

Damn. It's snowing like crazy in Chicago. This makes me think Howard will have a big game and the Browns will continue sadness!
