NFL Thread v2: The 2020 NFL Season!

[Luminesa]

Dude, its the NFL... The Pats played a fair game, I wanted KC to win but calm down

College Football is better anyways

Pats played anything but fair. Over half the calls on the Chiefs where completely bullshit.

Ya know I hope that the new pro-football leagues do well. The NFL needs a reality check.

The refball this season is probably going to be mentioned by someone, I think the current problem is the power of the NFL is in the hands of too few people who have been in power for far too long. Meanwhile incompetent buffoons (Goodell) sit on their hands and claim the pins and needles in their hands are progress.

Top 10 burns against Goodell

[Dresderstan]

I wanted to shoot him. He couldn’t stop sucking Brady’s cock.

He really, really does not stop talking about Brady. Neither does Joe Buck or Troy Aikman. Once again, I think the network pays them to say certain things. And I hate to sound like a conspiracy theorist, but it IS TV.

All I ever hear from these announcers is that Brady is the greatest, and I just wish they'd shut up about him for once, because let's be honest, he is not that great.

I mean, because people like Brady, they just want to glorify him. Not that he isn't a great player, but you'd think that they have something else to talk about.

[The South Falls]

It's like how the networks treated Joe Namath after SB III.

[Ranoria]

The worst part is I wish I could say, “Oh yeah they can do it,” but they only won because they got help from the refs, even if they are a fantastic football team. And I hate to say that about the Rams. But we’ll see if Goff can go to the next level and do the impossible.

On offense Goff has a lot of weapons, but they Ram D will need to get 3 and outs early and often on Brady. It will be up to the Rams D-line, guys like Suh and Donald need to bulldoze old Tommy boy. The LBs and secondary need to shutdown that dump off shit. Look at the film from that last AFC championship game in Denver for the defensive plan, McVey. Knock Brady on his ass repeatedly. The Rams defense isn't a marshmallow like the Chiefs D.

That’s basically my blue print to beat Brady as well. I’m fairly certain that was the worst beating he’s ever taken. Dude was bleeding by he end. Im not sure they’ve got a guy besides Donald who can consistently generate pressure. Suh has done nothing this season, or the last few, for that matter. I don’t think Fowler has been very good since the trade (or before), but honestly I just don’t want the Pats to win because fuck ‘em. I don’t hate the Rams, and they deserve this after so many years of being awful.

Oh hey sorry to be correcting people like this but you accidentally typed the past tense of the word "treat" instead of the present tense. It happens don't fret about it.

((Don't any of you dare correct my mistakes. It's a one off gag and it wouldn't match the context.

He is pretty awesome, but the thing is the league has a lot of other exciting players as well. Of course people like Drew Brees, Patrick Mahomes, and Jared Goff, but also non-QBs who are making waves in their positions. The Khalil Mack’s and the Aaron Donald’s. The Saquon Barkley’s and the Alvin Kamara’s. But marketing probably plays a role in why Brady gets so much attention, aside from his many SB rings.

If Andy Reid would organize his safeties and corners more, and not rely on the beautiful existence of Eric Berry for everything, they would have been a lot better coming into this game. As for the Rams, I do have faith in Donald, but the safeties and corners for them also have to step up...and not get stupid PI calls. Because between the Pats and the Rams...the league already probably has a favorite to win, and it’s not the Rams. They’re gonna get the treatment the refs gave the Saints, which means they need to keep the game from being close at all.

Brady is their golden child. They’ll make a story out of anything they can with Brady. Anything. All offseason, at least a quarter of the articles on NFL.com are about Tom fucking Brady. I don’t think he’s the best ever, but it doesn’t matter, because he’s universally acknowledged as such by now.

[Maineiacs]

The only chanced the Rams D has is to send three players to cover Gronk, and the other eight to blitz Brady on, like, every play.

Brady isn't intimidated enough by pressure to warrant blitzing that hard. Realistically the only way to do that is to have an unstoppable front 4 (or 5 if you bring in a linebacker) break through the middle or outrun the tackles and nail the QB before he has a chance to throw.

[Zurkerx]

I'm going to go against conventional wisdom here and pick the Rams.

Which is impossible against Brady because of course it is.

What does this man have to do earn anyone's respect here. The man has literally done the impossible countless times, and yet people STILL count Tom Brady out. I find it sad that so many people could possibly find themselves blaming the refs for a game that was clearly officiated in favor of BOTH sides evenly.

[Major-Tom]

Still pretty fucking despondent about the Chiefs. They haven't been to a Superbowl in decades, if I recall, and played a largely phenomenal game last night. Huge disappointment.

[United Allied Earth Federation]

Why does it always have to be about fairness. When in sports are you supposed to let someone else win because you feel bad. In the end, the Chiefs def did NOT do enough to stop Brady in OT. It's as simple as that. They played pretty good, but not good enough evidently.

I never counted Tom Brady out, and I actually mentioned earlier that the game was officiated fairly. Brady is amazing. All I was pointing out was that the NFL uses him as their star and makes a storyline about everything he does. Don’t make him an underdog, he isn’t and never will be.

[Jerzylvania]

Though I will say that if that idiot on the Chiefs wasn’t just over the line it would have been game after that interception

Speaking of which Romo ruined it saying this could be game and that the refball was against the Pats.

Romo has a chronic case of hoof in mouth disease. Once upon a time CBS was known as the Hee Haw network bc of the shows they had, like Hee Haw and the Beverly Hillbillies. They're right back to being the Hee Haw Network with Romo doing color. And he's no Don Meredith, that's for sure. If he was, that would be great. There are some smart country sounding NFL folks out there if you actually try to find one.

The Lincoln assassination was a conspiracy. Don't buy into this nonsense that conspiracies don't occur. That's more TV brainwashing that started right after the JFK assassination, mainly by fucking CBS. Who'd have guessed?

It's like how the networks treated Joe Namath after SB III.

You got that exactly right. And Broadway Joe never saw another SB. Though he did get a lot of pussy... but not Suzi Kolber!

I’m probably getting my hopes up, but if he reverses this game I will send him a Saints keychain. Or something.

I could also go back to the 2012 AFC Championship, Ravens walloped him 34-14 at home. Basically the same scheme. That's where Denver looked for an answer. Kubiak was in Baltimore prior to heading off to Broncoland.

If that happens I'll start believing in the tooth fairy again.

Simpletons must think they invented refs and umpires bc they look good on the field.

I highly doubt it, sorry to break your heart Lum (although I did support your Saints over the Rams despite my Eagles losing to them ).
