2018 NFL Season Chatter

I know you specifically aren't. I was referring to some of the sports media I follow on Twitter. And I agree, he's probably a better QB than Sanchez. 

When I said "I'm not outraged" I knew you weren't referring to me, just a general statement.

As far as Kaep goes, I think part of the reason he's not in the league is because of this rumored "blackball" but I think the bigger reason is that he's a system QB that sucks. Basically RG3 with a little more success. If he wasn't all that great before, I can't imagine he'd be anything special with all of that time off. I don't see him lobbying, like he was before, to return to the league. Is he even working out, etc, etc?

Nice breakdown of the rookie QB's. This guy really doesn't like Josh Allen...

Help me out here....the Steelers have BLOWN 3 straight games and can’t finish. They have a 1/2 game lead over Baltimore but Steelers face the Patriots and Saints the next two weeks.

Why do most NFL talking heads...why would any at all just assume Steelers are winning the North? I’ve heard it over and over and over since they lost Sunday. How can this keep being said?...to me it’s the least definite thing going that sports analysts keep making a definite. 

They just had Ben go 25-29 with 2 TD and no turnovers, while Raiders had 13  penalties for 130 yards and still lost to the 2-10 Raiders. How can any sports person not at least use the words likely or probable (those words are too strong but not definite like it keeps being said)

They will most likely win the division, especially with the tiebreakers.  Congrats. 

Pittsburgh owns tiebreakers right? So a wins means Baltimore needs to go 3-0? Or am I off by a game?

Tie-breakers arent even possible unless they tie with Cleveland or Baltimore ties a game

Pittsburgh 7-5-1

Baltumore 7-6

Steelers play the Patriots, Saints and Bengals

Ravens host the Buccaneers and Browns and play at SD

is it not completely believable and likely the Steelers go 1-2 and the Ravens go 2-1? That’s all it would take.

Lol, forgot about the tie. Christ.

Yeah...I mean had they somehow held on in Cleveland 5 minutes into the season...I’d be fine with the talk. Up 14 with the ball and 7:45 left in the 4th. Season of blows.

If Chargers win tonight they are legitimate SB contenders...I don’t think they will though.

I think chiefs win comfortably. 

The actual throws weren’t anything extraordinary but I feel that Mahomes made 2 plays on that drive that no other QB in the NFL makes

That td throw was amazing. Mahomes is unreal

I bet Pittsburgh wins one of these next two games. Just when they are left for dead, they UNFORTUNATELY find a way to rebound.

Rivers has thrown 3 potential picks but only the first one was caught.

Only watching this bc of fantasy, but that drive was bullshit. Ref calls phantom cb hold call and then rivers to Williams who the guy I’m playing has both. Refs are so bad this year 

4 potential picks and Chiefs have made 2...last one being huge

He’ll take a lot of chances but you gotta take advantage. Last week Haden had an easy pick in the endzone in 4th quarter but safety came over and mashed his own player and ball flew into hands of WR for a freak TD, which was insanely big. Tremendous play by the Chiefs DB

Lol...Chargers DB whiffs on one he likely could’ve ran into FG range

Have Keenan Allen in fantasy..fucking great

you in playoffs of your league?

Another weak call on db holding. This shit is worse than the preseason helmet to helmet
