2017 NFL season thread

[Senator Clay Davis]

The Vikings letting Bradford play that long was pretty irresponsible. Perfect scoreline though for what has been a terrible game. Let us hope for a 5-4 final.

[Senator Clay Davis]

That was a truly Cutler-esque INT by Trubisky, both in terms of how bad the throw was and the devastating timing of it.

[DropIt]

Ugly game once it got late. Trubisky needs some real receivers to catch the ball but still a mediocre start at nest albeit against a great defense.

Refereeing was truly pathetic as well and cost the Bears 10 points in the end

Trade! The New Orleans Saints have traded Adrian Peterson to the Arizona Cardinals for a conditional pick per sources

[Sainters7]

Peterson obviously wasn't going to get the touches he wanted in N.O., so it's for the best for both parties. I know the question is "why even sign him in the first place??", but at the time the Saints hadn't drafted Alvin Kamara yet, who's really looking lethal and is becoming a big part of the offense. Too many mouths to feed. If Payton knew he'd come out of the draft with someone like Kamara, I don't think he makes that AD signing. I think Arizona's style fits Peterson a lot more than N.O. did

AP is a chump who's long past his best before date. I hope he falls flat on his face in ARZ.

I can't believe the Cardinals were foolish enough to trade for him. You'd think a guy who has done nothing for two years along with some massive personal faults would be kicked to the curb by a league that is desperately trying to improve its own PR.

They could make the 49'ers, Browns or Giants 50,000 to 1 and I'd still chose to keep my dollar.

Nm: wrong thread

[rubecube]

Eagles D has the potential to be good if they can fix their coverage problems when Darby returns.

[rubecube]

Cam Newton has be one the most easily unlikable players in football.

[rubecube]

Hey, Doug, how about making some adjustments, you freaking tool.

[Senator Clay Davis]

Haha Cam.

[rubecube]

The lack of consistency in officiating still chaps my ass. If those calls on Mills were PI then that one on the deep call to Jeffrey should have been as well.

[Senator Clay Davis]

Two point conversion looms large here. Panthers can't really kick a FG.

[kevman]

That's a dive by Newton. Not that it wasn't a late hit but Newton sold that hard.

That's on the officials. They have to make that call but I know I didn't hear the whistle.

[Senator Clay Davis]

Lol Cam.

[rubecube]

Panthers' defense is for real but this scoreline absolutely flatters their offense.

[rubecube]

This has all the makings of a classic Eagles loss.
