Week 17 Discussion (Other NFL Teams)

[ratedr]

Manning is coming back in!

[redlobster]

Uh oh Peyton manning is coming in!

[Inqui]

Tunsil or Stanley in the first, and Voltz in the 2nd. That would be my guess.

That makes sense, they need to both protect Rivers and open some holes for their first rounder from last year. I'd be surprised if they took Stanley over Tunsil, since the latter fits their philosophy of big blockers with a mean streak.

 

A few weeks ago I promised to change my avatar to a picture of Barbie for a week if Tunsil's available and they pass on him (unless something crazy happens like he gets charged for murder), and even though the draft is a long way away I haven't seen any reason they'd take anyone else. 

[Tank 92]

He is, and with something to prove. Will be interesting to see what happens1

[Inqui]

LA Chargers hit the front.

 

Hopefully Peyton starts in full-on playoff mode.

[ratedr]

What a catch from the future HoFer Gates.

[52520Andrew]

Denver inflating those turnover stats

 

At least they aren't deflating anything

[Inqui]

What kinda system does Pettine run? 3-4 or 4-3? What are his philosophies of note?

[ratedr]

Very odd though...Anderson fumbles and OSWEILER sits?

 

But the offense needs a spark.

Tunsil or Stanley in the first, and Voltz in the 2nd. That would be my guess.

I think the Titans will go with Tunsil with the #1 pick and Cleveland will go Bosa with the #2, so it will be either Stanley or Conklin for the Chargers if they want an OT, although Ozzie may take one off the board if the Chargers win this game.

Believe a 3-4 and a former Ravens and Rex Ryan guy. Did well in Buffalo as DC although not so well in Cleveland with the defense

I'm guessing the Broncos have been preparing for Manning to come in for a few weeks now. Try to catch an opponent flat-footed before they can prepare for him.

This is crazy that the Broncos are struggling like this ... I mean, the #1 seed is there for the taking. They sure don't look like a #1 seed. If they lose, they'll likely drop to #5. 

 

Actually, I don't think there is any team that looks like a #1 seed in the entire AFC. 

[cobrajet]

Wow Peyton came in and has give this team life in the second half.

[ratedr]

Now that's a spark! Denver TD.

[Inqui]

So he's an aggressive guy who's used to a hybrid front? Not sure how I feel about the former, with Trestman airing it out a lot I'd almost prefer a more conservative guy.

Why the hell didn't the chargers go for 2

Agreed.

 

My team to look out for is still the Chiefs. But ultimately, the AFC right now is still NE's to lose.

[ratedr]

TD reversed. First and goal.

[Inqui]

Agreed.

We'll see. Brady's been slipping out of form a bit so we'll see if he bounces back or goes full Rodgers.

[ratedr]

The Pats are slipping but I still don't trust any of these teams to beat NE in NE if they have to.

 

Shame we couldn't get THESE Patriots last year. Would've been a wash.

[Inqui]

49ers go for it on 4th and 4 but the pass is broken up. Rams still lead 16-13 with 12:30 or so left in the 4th.

[Inqui]

Lengthy drive from the 49ers ends in a horrendous pitch to Harris near the goalline. Fortunately it was just a really silly loss. FG ties it up at 16-16 with 4:20 left in the 4th. The Rams haven't offered a lot offensively since late in the first half (now watch them take three minutes to score a TD).

[ratedr]

What kind of breakdown of coverage in Denver? WIDE OPEN touchdown for SD.

[Inqui]

Rams go three and out. 49ers to drive for the lead with three minutes left.

[Inqui]

What kind of breakdown of coverage in Denver? WIDE OPEN touchdown for SD.

Hopefully that sets the stage for a Patented Playoff Peyton Pick.

[Bengal Billy]

Terrible offsides there on SD

[ratedr]

Not over in KC yet.

[Nge2grads]

Browns being Browns firing head coach and gm.
