NFL GAME DAY DISCUSSION Week 15 Other NFL Games Thread

Oof

If there's any reason to pull for NOR, it's that they play MIA next week and it'd be nice if that game had meaning to NOR. If NOR loses tonight, they're essentially eliminated from postseason contention. If they win-out, they have a chance to get in.

Tonight's game is meaningless to NE (other than the fact Tom Brady is playing it in), but if NOR loses tonight I could see them having a letdown against MIA next week. From NE's perspective, a NOR win next week against MIA goes a long way towards securing NE a playoff birth regardless of what NE does in their final few games.

Ideally NE wins out and we don't have to worry about any of that, but it was a thought I had. Same goes for the TEN-SF game next week; that's one we want to pull hard for SF in, because a TEN loss would give their game against MIA the following week more importance.

This is absurd.

 

[Ras-IR Dowling]

That’s two drives that Cameron Jordan has wrecked.

 

[Jangles]

The Bucs have no answers for the Saints. It’s unreal how much they get beat up by them

 

[TheRainMaker]

Remember when Trey Flowers was making more money than Cameron Jordan?

 

[dtbrks]

The Bucs are cooked. Godwin was their only player that can beat man coverage tonight

cooked???? They have the goat as their QB. They are not cooked. Ever, not with him and that O

 

[PP2]

This NO defense is playing out of their mind. They always get up for Brady.

 

[TBR]

There are too many good pass catchers on the Bucs for defenses to cover. Hence, from what I've seen, there is almost always a wide open guy for Brady to throw to. In our offense, he'd have 25 TDs. Our guys can't get separation.

Agreed, their pass catchers are great. You'd be surprised how often they don't actually get much separation.

Take it easy Mrs. Jones

Sorry Buccaneer...

Especially Evans. There’s always a guy draped on him.

Kryptonite...

Sorry Buccaneer...

How about that comeback by Mac

 

[Tunescribe]

This is absurd.

What is?

The problem is not necessarily Jordan. It’s more the inside line playing like crap and collapsing every play and not allowing Brady to step up in the pocket. If Jensen doesn’t get bullied the last play Jordan doesn’t touch Brady

 

[VectorPrime]

Someone explain why the Saints can do this.

This NO defense is playing out of their mind. They always get up for Brady.

That's a helluva defense in general. That's a very good team which had a bad stretch of play, compounded by having no legitimate option at QB. If they had a somewhat competent QB leading their team for most the season, they're almost certainly a playoff team that no one wants to face.

 

[sb1]

Why would this game be a coaching win for Payton if he’s not here? Weird

 

[Lagaffe_07]

Kryptonite...

I don’t think it’s a game plan problem. The Bucs are not executing on offense. The line is playing like crap, Gronk dropping balls and nobody winning their one on one.

 

[Brick27]

Wonder if the Bucs regret not turning over some of their roster
