2015 NFL Season Thread

Adams had multiple drops. He's terrible. Lacey with the fumble as well. He's missing his number 1 guy, Cobb is a good number 2, he's just being asked to do too much.

No way he's over-rated. None of his guys got open on any of those 4 down at the end.

The way they were running the ball I'm surprised they didn't try a run even without a timeout, they could've spiked the ball.

Problem is that if the run comes up short and you have to spike the ball than you give up 2 of your 4 downs.

I think throwing on all 4 downs was okay. Usually at some point you'll get a flag for holding or illegal contact if you can't get a completion.

Rodgers has to take some blame for sure as he is missing probably at least 2-3 throws/game and unfortuantey he's missed some bigger ones. At the same time, thats not bad for a QB its just Rodgers has set the bar so high that he almost can't make mistakes so tough to call him overrated when even when he isn't playing well he's a fair bit better than the average.

QB has no play makers on offence and thats the problem. With Nelson out, teams are doubling Cobb to take him out and then going 1 on 1 on the outside with Adams and Jones and they can't get open. James Jones was a great story but the reality is he can't get open 1 on 1 anymore and the only times he does is when Rodgers makes an incredible throw or the D blows an assignment. Adams and Jones are both so slow that playing them man to man is almost too easy for D and then you get to blitz more and make Rodgers rush his throws to receivers who arn't open.

And on top of that GB has no legitimate NFL TE on their roster. Richard Rogers is beyond terrible in the pass game and barely average in blocking. QB has failed miserably to help ARod with a legitimate TE and if they did I think it would open up all kinds of options. Right now you don't need to respect the QB TE so you can blitz freely and not have to pay the normal consequences when blitzing ARod.

Based off their form the last few weeks and their remaining schedule, I think there's a pretty good chance Carolina is going 16-0. They have @NO, ATL, @NYG, @ATL, TB left. I think at the Giants is the only game that could give them trouble, they should roll over the other teams. Patriots have injury concerns but after this weekend they too have a pretty easy finish with PHI, @HOU, TEN, @NYJ, @MIA. Kind of reminds me of the 2009 season when the Saints and Colts were by far the two best teams and they both had good looks at 16-0.

[troutman]

CAR could lose @ NYG or @ATL. Maybe they rest players in the last game and lose that one.

I don't think NE will go 16-0 - only two home games left.

Can we just skip to the Patriots/Panthers Super Bowl already? This season has been...uninspiring.

You never know in the playoffs. Steelers and Seahawks as wildcard teams are super dangerous. Playing with house money.

[Senator Clay Davis]

That's the only thing at all the NFL has going for it is single elimination playoffs. If it were series than it'd 100% be Carolina and New England. I think Arizona is certainly a threat to Carolina, and if the Packers get in and Rodgers gets right than they're always a threat. The AFC is awful though, if New England doesn't get through that's really bad. Denver is the only threat and with no offense to speak of it shouldn't be hard to beat them.

Yep, that was a great Super Bowl. I've caught every one since Scott Norwood's "wide right" back in 1990, and I'd put that '03 Pats/Panthers one in the top 5, probably even the top 3.

That's back when Jack Delhomme was regarded by Saints fans as the "one that got away.."

Just starting to get a sense of it. I mean he's definitely up there among the great QBs. But he ain't delivering right now (same thing last season too). Yeah, there are injuries but still (hate to compare, but look at Brady).

Last year he was the MVP of the league so i'm not sure that qualifies as not delivering. If you mean in the playoffs keep in mind he played with a torn calf and still should have beat the best D in the league in one of the hardest buildings to plan in and would have it a 3rd string TE does his job...

Brady has Gronk who is a matchup nightmare for any D. Rodgers has a TE that shoudln't even be playing in the NFL and no receivers that anyone is scared to matchup against.

[Senator Clay Davis]

Rodgers has the best TD:INT ratio in league history by an absurdly large margin. He'e definitely struggling right now, and he's getting no help either, but he's pretty far from overrated. I mean even in this "down season" he's still projected to finish with 35TDs and 6INTs, which would still rank in the 97th percentile or higher of QB seasons in league history. He really has set the standard for himself at an almost unreachable level.

[TBone290]

Whoa #### chill

[Senator Clay Davis]

lol I don't even like the Packers. But I mean Brady had a horrible start to last year and people were thinking Garappolo will be starting soon. It happens. I think it's just the tendency now is to severely overreact to things that really shouldn't be severely overreacted to. The only way Rodgers can be considered overrated is if you definitively think he's the best ever. Because he's clearly already one of the 10 best ever.

[Sylvanfan]

Buffalo is laying a serious beat down on KC. This looks like an easy 40 point win for Buffalo.

[Sylvanfan]

Without Justin Houston, the KC defence gets absolutely destroyed. No pressure and the coverage is completely clueless. Sammy Watkins might go for 400 yards today if they keep throwing.

[Da_Chief]

Syl being a bit over dramatic I think.
