NFL GAME DAY DISCUSSION Week 15 Other NFL Games Thread

That was a funny comment by Chris saying Tom’s hair looks better at 44 than in his 20’s. It sticks out like a sore thumb.

Wait! What?!? Are you saying Tom had a hair replacement procedure?!? What next? Claiming Drew Brees had one too? Good thing Brady doesn't read this board or he might sue you for slander.
 
I know exactly what Collinsworth wanted to say. Dirty play. Bernard Pollard looking play.
 
Bruce Ariens was like my parents growing up. My parents always threatened me with harsh punishments of groundings for months if I missed a curfew or screwed up some way. But if I was punished on a Sunday, I was already given furloughs by that Friday night.

That is what Ariens did with Antonio Brown and his alleged zero tolerance policy towards Brown.

Arians has no zero tolerance policy toward anyone. But his wife has one with him, which is why he unretired to take the Tampa job.

Was it really dirty? He didn't go for Godwin's knees. He hit him higher.
 
Well good thing for Tampa that brown is back next week. That did not look good.
 
That was a dirty hit.
 
No, you said that our run defense "has issues and might not be fixable this year". It wasn't a direct comparison to Tampa, it was a criticism of New England.

Our run defense was fine last night. They got beat up in the 1st half but were solid in the 2nd half. The defense was good enough to win that game if they didn't turn the ball over three times, give up 7 points due to a blocked point, and gifted Indy 3 points on the FG/offside snafu.

I don't think they're an elite run defense, but I sure wouldn't say they have fundamental issues that cannot be fixed, or that if they face a team who wants to run it every play, that they'll be completely outmatched.

It's a team sport and I have confidence that the run defense (and the defense in general) is capable of performing at the level necessary to beat good teams. It comes down to how the team, collectively, performs.
Hope you’re right. I just feel it’s personnel more than scheme..and that isn’t fixable unless you get different players. Need more depth of good and fast linebackers that can defend against the run beyond Bentley. A big run stuffer up front was a need last year and still is. Hightower losing a step doesn’t help either.
 
It was a dirty freaking hit.

So was Devin White's dirty horse collar that took at WInston for the year...no Bucs fans were complaining then
 
The Bucs are cooked. Godwin was their only player that can beat man coverage tonight

It’s well known Brees had one after getting his TV gig. Looks good.

I don’t think Brady’s hair looked bad, but you can see a major difference.
 
A lot of holding by NO OL.
 
It was a dirty freaking hit.
It was also the dreaded short of the sticks play. He wasn’t going to get the 1st and the defender was barreling in on him.

I wasn’t a huge fan of Brady making Welker, Gronk and Edelman into kamikaze’s. They took some major hits.
 
Is it me or are the saints hitting low?

Take it easy Mrs. Jones
 
Is it me or are the saints hitting low?
The team that was punished for coaching and paying their players to try to hurt people are trying to hurt people in this game?

I refuse to believe it
