The NFL Thread - Root for your favorite team (or laugh at the Browns, whichever's easier)

God please another Rasul Douglas situation

It was so dumb to trade Rasul away at the time and in hindsight it's even worse. Really could have used him in the divisional round game against the 49ers (where the difference was a couple of big pass plays given up by the Packers CBs). Gute then used the 3rd round pick from the trade to take Ty'Ron Hopper, who only plays special teams. Meanwhile the CB situation now is horrendous.
I don't see Diggs starting the wild card game, but Nixon and/or Valentine can't be given much leeway.

Scott Van Pelt is all over Twitter because they flashed two dudes kissing for the ball drop and he was visibly repulsed.

He's having a down year right now, but Saquon did run for over 2000 yards last season.

That is an odd name - “Saquon” - is it Native American?

I still think OJ is the GOAT. He had some sort of legal incident I think? so nobody talks about him anymore. Nobody ran against more stacked boxes than he did.

He was better than Barry Sanders? It’s my understanding that he played on bad teams where he was the only viable offensive option.

Oh, Barry played on some bad teams too. Outside of Herman Moore, he was pretty much the guy in Detroit.

Also will give OJ credit for getting to 2k yards first, and in the least amount of games.

According to a search "Possibly stemming from Native American Lenape roots (meaning "to be strong") and African-American naming trends, with inspiration from family names like Shaquona and Laquan, and a French-sounding "-wan" ending." So a triple mix of influence.

Ah yes, negro naming culture. The name “D’Brickashaw” still stands out for its extraordinary retardation.

Sir, this is an NFL thread.

Sir, this is an NFL thread.

Yeah, we call them Redskins around here.

Today is Eli Manning's birthday! It's also Dallas Goedert's birthday.

Bro definitely knew how to take a beating

 

[Fat Gay Riker]

Eli Manning is the definition of "can the head coaches convince him to get three scoops from Cold Stone to win the game" and it happened twice.

OJ and Barry are probably the two most talented running backs of all time. Getting 2,000 yards in 14 games is absurd, and anyone passing it in more games shouldn't be considered the record holder.

The NFC South is an embarrassment to football. They are going to send their 3rd team with a losing record to the playoffs. I would rather watch the Lions than whoever wins this pathetic division.

And Tampa players are allowed to facemask, rip a receivers helmet off, and throw it to the sidelines without being penalized for one of them. Oh and anyone who respond to Baker talking to them will also be flagged for taunting.

It's obvious the Refs and quite possibly the NFL were pissed off that Tampa didn't get into the playoffs. Edit: Unrelated to previous statement, anyone with predictions for the 49ers/Seahawks match coming up tonight?

-looks at the years of Kelce doing the exact same on the Chiefs to draw penalties-

First time? When in doubt of your rosters flaws, abuse the rulebook to draw bullshit penalties. For all the shit we can give guys like Brady, Rodgers, Flacco, or the immortal Philip Rivers, they could at least get absolutely motherfucked with fairly minimal consequences if they talked shit…

 

[Wallace]

That has to be some of the dumbest playing I have seen. 1st and goal from the 1 yard line, and Seattle gets nothing.

Barner holding not called.
