NFL GAME DAY DISCUSSION 2024 Week 17 NFL Games

I'm sure Mayo and Company will find a way to lose. If the Giants are allowed to blatantly tank, then the Pats certainly can. Time for Milton to get some reps?

Right? Benching a high-paid (albeit terrible) QB in Jones to get to worse options Drew Lock and Cutlets DeVito.

Daboll has to go and I would have thought Giants would have been perfect fit for BB and especially getting #1 pick and others ….. I think the owner of the Giants whiffed

Texans, like Steelers, overrated…

Texans are worse than Steelers….Stroud has lost confidence and poise….definitely regressed

Just another of many examples : you can’t anoint young QBs before you see them for a few seasons (if not more).

 

[stcjones]

Wow stroud sucks tonight….that could wrap it up

 

[ViperGTS]

Wow stroud sucks tonight….that could wrap it up

He’s been underperforming this year. Was last year an aberration?

 

[farn]

Boring. The NFL games have been boring. The college football games were boring. It’s boring.

 

[PatsFan2]

Spot on.

A peewee football player knows that you carry the ball outside towards the sideline.

The Steelers are coached by a piss poor HC.

And we are currently coached by??

 

[wtf]

There have not been many good games lately, in either NFL or NCAA

 

[sb1]

What’s up with Stroud this year? Diggs and Dell out doesn’t help but dude is inaccurate and that was never an issue with him before.

 

[denverpatsfan]

Stroud barely broke a sweat when he beat the Pats. Think about that...

Do we have to ? I’d rather not on Xmas….

 

[ScottishPatriots]

Chiefs gonna get the famous tomato can game at home in the Divisional Round and cruise while the Ravens & Bills slug it out unless there's some kind of upset.

 

[PATSYLICIOUS]

nightmare scenario is Pittsburgh vs Houston in rd 1 and kc essentially gets a second bye with whoever wins that ****fest.

Not that I have much faith in Denver or lac but at least theres a glimmer of hope there

 

[varjao]

Steelers are frauds, I though Steelers and Broncos, could be one of those teams to put one of those any given Sunday games you know, came out of the locker room blazing, scores a TD in the first drive, capitalize on a turnover and is 14x0 in 6 minutes, putting a ton of pressure in one of those favorites Bills, Ravens and Chiefs.

Now? nah. I don't think any of those teams should present such a challenge.

 

[Ray Ray 717]

Can’t argue that Stroud has regressed this year

His weapons (Diggs Collins Dell) all spent significant time injured. He, like most QBs, needs weapons to succeed

 

[Ray Ray 717]

I agree with this… Pats won’t do it because it would look like they’re tanking… in reality it would mean that they are not trying to win the game perhaps ….unless Maye came up with some kind of injury…..but it would be great for final 2 games to see what Joe could do with our #1 squad….even tho on any other team….our WR/RB/TE would be average to slightly above average at best. I do think Henry would do extremely well in a very good offensive scheme and with good OL talent.

Our WR would be wayyyyy below average on any other team

Tomlin is Marvin Lewis with a ring (won with Cowher’s team). He’s mid as hell

I'm not so sure.
Tomlin has had much more success than Marvin Lewis.
Tomlin has a .634 winning % and Lewis was at .518
Tomlin has a SB ring and an AFC title ring. The only rings Lewis has are in his bathtub.
Tomlin never had a losing season. Lewis has had 6 losing seasons (2 less than Belichick btw).
Tomlin has 8 playoff wins. Lewis has none with 7 one and done playoffs. He was going for the PEDton Manning record of 9 one and done playoffs (the only one with a chance at that now is Harbaugh and Lamar Jackson).

Maybe Lovie Smith would be a better comparison. Let me check. Nah. He's overall worse than Lewis but does have a .500 playoff record compared to Lewis' .000.

Speaking of Tomlin, I was watching one of those best trick play videos and one of them was Tomlin intentionally interfering with a runner along the sideline to prevent him from scoring. How is that something to applaud? Imagine the stink there would have been if Belichick did that.

 

[1960Pats]

No problem with blows to the QB’s head when you’re KC. This league is a joke

The officials are the fall guys for the owners.
