Week 15 NFL Games - Previews and Predictions

[reflexblue]

Rodgers has no chance @ Seattle in an NFCCG.

ive been rooting for the niners for that reason. i'd rather play GB if we make it to the SB than Seattle, Seattles d-line scares the hell out of me.

Now all the Jets have to do is take knees. I'd like to see them fail at that.

To draw your attention away from the Denver game, humor me and let me pile on Johnny Football just a bit more.

More than once, Manziel insisted he "wasn't overwhelmed" by the game.

That's the right thing to say, but it doesn't make it factual. The most disturbing part of Manziel's performance wasn't his passing -- although that was depressing. It was the disorganization of trying to run a basic offense.

When the Browns went to the no-huddle, it looked like Manziel had no clue of how to have his teammates lined up properly. Late in the first half, in the hurry-up, Joe Thomas and Mitchell Schwartz were each flagged for false starts. Neither seemed sure of the snap count.

Manziel also had trouble with the plays coming in from the sidelines. The Browns huddled at the two-minute warning. The team had at least 90 seconds to get the proper players on the field. But Manziel was holding his hands out, as if to ask what was going on.

Finally, he called a timeout -- immediately after the two-minute warning -- to try and sort out the confusion.

I doubt I've ever seen that before.

On the second play of the second half, Manziel turned to his left to hand off to Terrance West. The running back went to the right. Manziel was tackled for a loss. Not sure who was at fault on that play. But remember, this was the second play after they left the dressing room.​

Oh let's see:
10-18 80 yds 0 TD 2 INT, sacked 3 times for -26, 5 rush 26 yds. Cleveland as a team 107 net yds. He looked like a HS kid out there from the replays I've seen. Cleveland burned a first on a bust. The sadness returns.

 

[FrodoBagginz]

Titans will have time left. Now we can watch a huge Jets implosion.

Wonder if Rodgers sub par game today will cost him an MVP vote or two...

gotta say why did they run a hurry up with this being maziels first game? its hard enough as it is running the offense out on the field never mind a hurry up

wish i could, watching the jest implode is almost as good as watching a pats win

The Broncos winning this game sets up another Brady-Manning game next year in Denver.

He shouldn't get it imo now. It should shift to watt

the NFL sees $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$

 

[Archeryaddict12]

Gronk should win comeback player of the year imo. The dude almost always has 100 yards and a td every week

 

[sb1]

Yes on next season's schedule.

 

[Deus Irae]

Tennessee makes the mistake of going on 4th-and-17 instead of taking the FG. Jets win. Smith still sucks.


Good news for the Patriots.

 

[OhExaulted1]

Yes on next season's schedule.

In Denver

I dn't know if it was coach, GM or owner, but the person who made the deicison to go to Manziel needs to be fired (GM/Coach) or barred from ever making player decisions again (owner).

Well, assuming the Broncos decide to pay Manning $20 million next year. I assume they will, but this is the third week in a row, he was far less than elite. At least he didn't suck like he did the previous two weeks.

In Denver

I wonder what the Patriot conspiracy theorists will say about that. Maybe Kraft didn't pay off the league enough to have the game in Foxboro again... lol

 

[Froob]

That win really hurt the Jets as far as draft picks go. Brought them from 1-4 to like #5.

I'm waiting for Florio to say "He did...unless he didn't" on the air....
