Joe Pesci Posted December 13, 2016 Share Posted December 13, 2016 So there's four games in London next year, and the NFL is sending over some heavy hitters as the Jags, Rams, Browns and Dolphins gave up a home game for a trip to London. Funny how they keep sending the dregs of the league and they still fill up the stadium every time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Awesome. I am becoming more bullish on Goff being a bust. True, their whole offense was shit all year, but he rarely if ever looks like he can threaten an NFL defense in any way. Goff's best plays are run-of-the-mill NFL throws at best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it's hard to judge the guy. He's in an offense filled with Jags with the embodiment of ineptitude as a coach. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I tend to agree with you. Hard knocks showed him in daily practice and it was bad. I mean the coaches could tell he was bad. He may need two more years of QB coaching before he is actually a serviceable NFL starting QB. I say that and he will end up lighting up Seattle this week!

SkynJay Posted December 15, 2016 Share Posted December 15, 2016 I am still trying to figure out what the Broncos have at QB. Looking at recent scores things are looking very grim. At best I would say, on the surface, Siemian is this year's Bortles AKA king of junk time stats. But I have actually been strangely impressed with him when watching the actual game. The O-line is horrible yet the man never shows fear under pressure; I have seen him stand in the pocket knowing a hit was coming. He also is not very turnover prone yet hits some impressive deep balls. He is clearly better than Lynch at this point and I expect him to be next years' starter as well baring something strange. Fact is I am apt to blame the offensive troubles on play calling and the o-line and I think this goes hand in hand. I know Kubs wants to run but it just...ain't...happening. And because of that in the first half Denver is fairly regularly seeing second and nine, third and nine, safe pass punt. I would love to see the playbook opened in the first half. In fact I would love to see Denver come out against NE in shotgun running some basic version of the Manning offense. Sanders deep, DT on a waggle, Durby chipping and running free. I truly think Siemian can handle it and it simply MUST be better than one two three punt. This Defense is still the best in the league. I know the stats don't show it but they just don't get a chance to rest before the offense puts them back on the field. The problem is Denver is never ahead anymore which doesn't let the strength of the defense (pass rush and secondary) shine. Come on Kubs, go for broke. Let the kid play. Playoffs are already an iffy proposition as best at this point, get there by trying rather than sitting back and hoping. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rhom Posted December 15, 2016 Share Posted December 15, 2016 Just heard a promo in ESPN Radio that made me realize how little I've been paying attention to the NFL this season: "Tied for the second best record in the NFC, the Giants and Lions face off..." I knew the Lions were up there, but I honestly had no idea the Giants were doing that well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Chatywin et al. Posted December 15, 2016 Author Share Posted December 15, 2016 I just heard the craziest stat ever: Bill Belichick would have to lose 668 straight games to have the same winning percentage as Gus Bradley. I did the math, and it's correct. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Their offense has been brutal to watch but I'll take 9-4 any day of the week. I saw Brandon Flowers was placed on IR on the ESPN bottom line and initially got a tinge of excitement because I thought it was Ereck Flowers. A horrible thing to say but dude is one of the worst tackles I've ever seen and might get Eli seriousy killed soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bronn Stone Posted December 15, 2016 Share Posted December 15, 2016 My take on Dak Prescott is that even when he's been good, he's been Trent Dilfer/Alex Smith good. Dallas has been winning with defense, Elliott (a true star and the true MVP IMO) and a dink and dunk offense. Prescott seems to have none of the skills necessary to take advantage of Dez Bryant's downfield talent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While I agree that Prescott isn't quite as good as people having been touting him to be (although I think he's doing just fine for a first year rookie), Dez had a pretty awful performance in their only loss in the last twelve games. I think there are plenty of reasons the Cowboys are having the success they've been having that don't have to do with superior skill, although I do think they've been doing well, but yeah, I don't think they're gonna go far in the playoffs.

Could we get another glimpse of the pettiness and black soul of Goodell? And I swear I've had like four seizures from these hideous lime green Seahawks uniforms.

Bronn Stone Posted December 17, 2016 Share Posted December 17, 2016 The problem I see with Prescott is more serious than "he's a rookie". He's got a noodle arm. Even when the game "slows down" for him, he still won't have the tools to be a top tier QB. Middle of the pack is probably his ceiling. Of course, middle of the pack means that about half the other teams are doing worse, and teams have won with MOTP QBs, but I think if I were a Cowboys fan I'd be prepping myself for the reality that his limitations will only become more evident.

Guest Posted December 17, 2016 Share Posted December 17, 2016 Prescott's arm is plenty-strong. Goff has a noodle arm for an NFL QB. He also forgot how to throw a spiral between college and the pros. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A preference for the short pass does not make one noodle armed. Prescott doesn't have a Jamarcus Russel cannon (few do), but he has plenty of arm strength to make all the NFL throws. If there is a problem besides playing a couple great defenses, I think it's mental. He's afraid to take risks IMO, which works great when you can just steamroll over the other team. But in games where the passing game has to provide the spark, there is such a thing as too risk adverse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
