2017 NFL Season Thread

Eagles eliminated the Falcons with a tough 15-10 win.

Titans Patriots
I'm optimistic it's a close game that the Patriots win because the Titans defense can't get the major stops and Gronk has a great game receiving over 120 yards.

One potential key stat I read a couple of days ago - the Titans rank 30th in stopping the pass catching running back.

This may not be the game for them, but any given Sunday......

I was very happy for Nick Foles. In fact as Collingsworth brought up...


- Foles was ready to retire due to how he was done by the Rams in 2015. How he was on a camping trip in 2016 when his phone rang and it was Andy Reid. Who talked him into coming back to play and he debated it. But as we know he came back. But as Collingsworth brought up Foles was so irked by how he was treated by the Rams and blamed for the offensive failures (this was under Fisher).

I dont recall any other fanbase that drives its stars away as hard as Philly does

McNabb, Iverson, Lindros, the whole of the 76ers

leaving out the questionable behavior at stadiums (especially an instance where a fan forcibly vomited on someone)

Regarding the situation with Lindros, his meddling parents poisoned the waters, inevitably leading to a parting of the ways, a cautionary tale Magic Johnson and the Lakers should study up on while dealing with Lavar Ball. As for troublesome fan bases, just off the top of my head:

—Cubs fans literally drove Steve Bartman into witness protection after his foul ball screwup during the 2003 NLCS
—on the south side of Chicago, a couple of yahoos rushed the field to attack Royals first base coach Tom Gamboa
—Detroit: The “Malice at the Palace”

Every fan base has trash fans, that is just the nature of sports. No one fan base is really better, or worse, than any others. Some just get more publicity.

Second time in two years that Phillies defense has beat Atlanta in Philly, but well other than the turnovers they were really impressive and now they get to host the NFCCG

Still impressed with the year the Falcons managed to scrap together with all the drama and adversity, and hopefully with another year Sarkisian and Ryan can gel and get the offense rolling again, plus we shouldn't have the third hardest SoS next year thanks to third place scheduling

[Ghost Rider TheHellfireDemon]

Great drive and Davis with a 1 hand catch for the Titans td.
7-0 after 1

It's largely anecdotal for me but I have yet to meet a Packers fan that wasn't knowledgeable about football.

Let the massacre begin. There is still time for the Tacks to pull off a Last Boy Scout move at half time. Always good to have options ya dig.

Not after that opening series.

I shouldn't have taken the points ...

ESPN was saying Brady was slowing down.

They are either fools or trying to help the Pats win by doing stuff like that.

[SUPERECWFAN1]

Its clear the Titans was helped by the calls last week. They weren't gonna be helped by referee calls this week since that dude was forced to retire.

[SUPERECWFAN1]

Now the question is can Brady make it a 8th Super Bowl appearance ? If he does people will have to literally say he's the best QB that ever played. I mean people try and say he isn't now. But if he makes it to an 8th Super Bowl....dear lord.
