NFL 2017 Season
- Thread starter the 4th hanson bro
- Start date
Well the Broncos-Redskins has started off as the very textbook definition of mediocrity. Gonna be a long game.

Feels like all the games started off with some mediocrity.
Skins pulling ahead thanks to the magical slippery fingers of Brock Assweiler.
Oh yeah...and GO BILLS!

Yeah please knock New England down a peg or two.
Doesn't look like that's going to happen now. 
Damn - I had hoped the Skins would win but I didn't expect a 26-3 route. Poor Denver. I honestly feel sorry for those guys right now. Not Osweiler, though. Don't feel bad for him at all. He should be the first to get a pink slip in his locker.
Correction - 26-11. Still...

Their turnaround speaks volumes to just how much of a joke Jeff Fisher is (and he's now saying he wants back in).
This is a pretty hilarious time to be a Patriots fan knowing everyone else in the country hates them. Freaking Steve Harvey refereeing these games, every controversial call benefitting the Patriots.
He's acted as if he wasn't there all bloody season!
Man, that video of Osweiler trying to rally the troops on the sidelines may be the saddest thing I've ever seen in sports.
Thanks. I missed the game and hadn't seen the video. Ouch! Not exactly Knute Rockne and win one for the Gipper.
And how about them Saints? I knew they'd beat Atlanta after that hiccup two weeks ago.
Jesus wept, Osweiler is so fucking pathetic. I really hope they shitcan his worthless ass in the off-season.
Heh... #FireJohnElway has already been a thing in Denver for the past 3 weeks now. Yes, Joseph has certainly been an uninspiring coach by all measures and standards, but the real problems start from the top-down. Elway needs to stop doing his stupid little local commercials and start going back and fixing his damn team.
I am enjoying the high butthurt quotient at the moment. SO much whining about calls, but since they're all correct per letter of the rule (dumb or otherwise), it seems like all the complaining is about how the refs should ignore the rule to hurt the Pats, or how they must be paying off the refs (to make the correct calls?), or just make the wrong call anyway, not fair they all go the Pats' way.
Just enjoyable.
And not like the Pats don't get any against them, or non-calls in moments they should. See: every time Gronk catches a pass with 3 guys hanging on his arms before the catch. (hint, that's pass inteference with everyone else, they let it go with him half the time because he's big and scary, apparently, so should counter his advantage somehow).
Agree that some weird ones have gone our way this year, but nothing dumb like 'simultaneous catch' or other nonsense. Think it's just the far end of the replay system and HD, they're nitpicking over blades of grass and if any bumps on the football wobbled. Going too far, and while RIGHT, it's starting to counter what the eye tells you, which is where the uproar is coming from.
One I really didn't care for was the fumble ruling resulting in touchback instead of touchdown. Seems overly harsh, if you fumble out at the 1 yard line, you get the ball back there. Another couple inches forward, you lose the ball and other team gets it? Something's not working right with that one.
The Steelers one at the endzone I get; he didn't catch/run/stretch, because that would have been a fumble recovered for a TD by the same guy. Sort of a falling catch and stretch, so not distinct enough things; he had to secure the ball even if the endzone wasn't there, and it doesn't matter that it was. Just a weird transition area. I mean, if you catch it, run 50 yards, and then fumble when hitting the ground, obviously a catch. If you dive for a ball, have it in your hands clearly, but it bounces out at the ground, no catch. Neither is questionable. There's obviously argument about when one is closer to one or the other, but seemed pretty legit call once explained, even if it doesn't always pass the eye test in real time.
Nice to get things fixed in replay, with tons of camera angles, but obvious risk is that they sometimes fix things you didn't intend to be looked at. Maybe this year, the NFL will have that bakesale that Belichick has been asking for so they can get more cameras on the goal line?
Final week of the regular season. Still some things to be decided.
The Rams are resting their starters today against the 49ers, which really pisses me off (a friend and I have a $100 bet every season, you only win if you sweep).
The good news is I will be headed to Los Angeles for the opening round of the playoffs!
I can't wait.

I look forward to the Jimmy G/Jared Goff match ups for the foreseeable future in the NFC West.
I don't really participate in these threads, so I don't know if any there are any Bills fans here, (I think eddie might be?) But if there are, I just wanted to say congrats. No fan base is more deserving.
Plus it made for a really great ending to the season.
