NFL Thread

If Damaruius Thomas is traded to the goddam Patriots I will personally tweet very mean things to John Elway.

It would basically mean they have given up on this season and are clearing house for a fresh start on draft day, probably with a new coach.
 
He came across as a right twat on Hard Knocks/All or Nothing.

Shortly after the Saints' bounty system came to light, four former Washington Redskins players, as well as a coach, told The Washington Post that Williams operated a similar system while he was the Redskins' defensive coordinator from 2004 to 2007. The players said that Williams paid his crew thousands of dollars for aggressive play, with the biggest payouts—as much as $8,000—coming for "kill shots" that knocked opposing players out of games.

Former NFL coach Tony Dungy later told Profootballtalk.com he was certain that Williams operated a similar bounty system while he was defensive coordinator of the Oilers/Titans from 1997 to 2000. He also believes that Williams put a bounty on Indianapolis Colts quarterback Peyton Manning during Super Bowl XLIV, and targeted Manning on several occasions while with the Titans.

Players also received "bounties" for "cart-offs" (plays in which an opponent was removed from the field on a stretcher or cart) and "knockouts" (plays that resulted in a player being unable to return for the rest of the game).

On April 5, documentary filmmaker Sean Pamphilon released audio of a meeting Williams held with his defense before their 2012 divisional playoff game against the San Francisco 49ers. In a profanity-laced speech, Williams instructed his players to deliberately try to injure several 49ers players. He ordered his men to try to knock out running back Kendall Hunter, even if it meant hitting him out of bounds. He specifically directed them to try to tear wide receiver Michael Crabtree's ACL, injure tight end Vernon Davis' ankles and go after kick returner Kyle Williams specifically because he had a history of concussions. He also appeared to put a bounty on quarterback Alex Smith; according to Pamphilon, after Williams told his men to hit Smith in the chin, "then he rubs his thumb against his index and middle fingers – the cash sign – and says, I got the first one. I got the first one. Go get it. Go lay that motherfecker out."

its incredible that with all the scrutiny on concussions this scumbag is now a head coach while kaepernick is being blackballed
 
I'm enjoying how angry everyone that there's an NFL logo at Wembley tonight. (Agree though)
 
Apparently Gordon will be benched for the first quarter because of ‘tardiness’. You’d think he’d want to make better decisions than what’s he’s done so far in his career.

Pretty sure if he does it again, Bill will Jonas Gray him.
 
Apparently Patriots are very interested in Golden tate , hopefully the lions don't give him away to the pats
 
Witten and the other guy are not doing a good job. They offer absolutely no element of analysis to the broadcast.
 
they need to bring in phil aloysius simms

Narwhal, let’s see,
let me make an observation here
The night—gotta stay in there
The rain—’ell, he’s under there
The football!
Just a little off center
But the defenses, Jim,
we talked
(during commercials)
And boats warp fast, fresh
 
Brady setting the block :lol:

Good win. Rodgers up next...
 
Rodgers will go 2-0 vs Brady and his fanboys will forever use that in the argument when they both retire ffs

Green Bay D looked pretty awesome vs Rams. And they looked like they could run it well. Not overly optimistic for that game sadly, especially with the fact that we are struggling to get it into the end zone right now.

Rodgers is better everyone with eyes can see that. Brady is the second best player i've seen in 25 years, but Rodgers, he's a different level

Rodgers would have won 8 superbowls if he played for a club and a HC that didn't genuinely hate him with a passion and were out to ruin his life

:D

Anyways, the NFL is fun this year! Do you hope the Browns will make it funnier by hiring Jeff "embodiment of 7-9" Fisher? I know i do :lol:
 
:lol: you seem tetchy recently, it was Kazi's "fanboys" comment above I was reacting to. A particularly ironic comment coming from him.

What does tetchy even mean?! Plus I’ve hardly even posted in here recently lol.

Btw, I wasn’t being tetchy in any case. You’ve just assumed me saying “right” was in that context lol, but it wasn’t.

I know who might be though, if we bag Thomas :smirk:

I'm probably too used to my missus; "right" and "fine" usually mean I've done something wrong and I just haven't figured out what it is yet.

If DT becomes a Patriot I'm gonna be livid.
 
Eagles really need a RB from somewhere, haven't had a 100 yard in a game rusher this season. In fact 72 yards is the highest which is abysmal
 
So who's the better receiver for the Pats, Golden Tate or DT?

DT is fantastic with the right QB, I was hoping the Texans would trade for him with Fuller's injury. His size and athleticism would give the offense an entirely new dimension.
