Official 2015 NFL Season Thread

Well... I'm disappointed with that outcome, but I am very proud of the Giants for stepping up and playing that hard. So much fun to watch. GO BIG BLUE!

I was rooting for you guys. 

And Oakland. 

And the Packers. 

This is not a good week...

[HoffmanMyster]

Is anyone else watching this Seattle/Arizona game??

(second fumble recovery for TD)

I'm watching it on and off but so both fumble recoveries, AZ is really screwing up.

What a bunch of idiots... the Broncos let Manning play with a partially torn plantar fascia. 

At least the Cardinals won last night...

He let himself play with it, too. Can he please just retire now that he beat that POS Favre and go buy the Titans?

And, despite it being sloppy, I'm happy the Cards won, too.

[trees]

Edelman out most likely for the season, throws me off now.

[jbondeson]

I've long since accepted that athletes will attempt to play through just about anything short of losing a limb, and it's the coaching staff's job to keep them from off the field.

And he needs to win one more game to get the wins record, so I'm sure he'll hobble out there for one of the Chargers games to get that win. 

And, despite it being sloppy, I'm happy the Cards won, too.

Maybe now thousands of Seattleites can drop the charade that they were lifelong Seahawks fans all along...

Whoa, what did Favre ever do to you? 

[jbondeson]

Whoa, what did Favre ever do to you? 

The Favrester waged war on NFL fans from 2008-2010, and to this day we still live in fear he might unretire one more time

Hahaha. Exactly. I blame the media for buying into his bull****, too, though. You being the Aaron Rodgers lover that you are, Hoff, should know that Favre basically ****ed him repeatedly.

And torn plantar fascia is EXTREMELY painful. It is basically losing a limb. He should not have been playing. Ugh.

Brett Favre is a joke. He should have retired when GB decided to go with Rodgers. In any case, Bart Starr is the ****ing man, forget about Favre.

I'm a GB fan, and Favre was my childhood.  Many great memories of him playing for my team.  I can hardly blame the guy for loving the game so ****ing much that he un-retired multiple times.  Gotta be tough to give up your career cold turkey.  Yes, I'm a Favre sympathizer.  Come at me.

Hah.    That's not the era I think of when I think Favre. 

I did have the pleasure of seeing him play his last game though.  Nothing quite like freezing your ass off as a layer of ice accumulates over your entire body after 3 hours of constant sleet in freezing temperatures.   


You guys probably don't want to see my childhood room at my parent's house...  )

[katushkin]

Wooooo. Rob Ryan has just been fired as the Saints defensive co-ordinator.

This is what happens when the Redskins shut you out in the second half.

[whmeltonjr]

I better take advantage of this while I have the opportunity to do so... GO TEXANS!!!

[katushkin]

A pretty acrimonious end to a pretty mediocre game.

[hwood34]

**** kyle shanahan

[jbondeson]

Well Brock wins his first start even though the refs did everything in their power to give the Bears the game.

One of the worst officiating jobs of the season. Absolute garbage.

Rooting against the Bears is in the blood of everyone born in the Midwest outside of Chitown...

I was a little conflicted about the Vikings-Packers game though... grew up in Minnesota, but really don't like Peterson.

Yeah, it doesn't help I'm from SE WI so we especially dislike the Bears... 

And huh.  Grew up in Minnesota and actually left?  I thought it was a rule that you have to hate every other state and never leave MN ever.  )

[keshley]

This figures. I lived in Charlotte when Newton was drafted, but the rest of the Panthers were terrible. Now I live in Ohio, and the Panthers are kicking some major ass.

I'll probably go to a Browns game in a few weeks, since the kid unit's high school marching band will be playing at half-time, but in terms of the game, feels like I'm back in Charlotte ('popular' new QB, terribad team).

We're planning on moving out of Ohio in a couple years. Mark my words, history will repeat itself, and the Browns will actually be good once I move away!








OK, probably not.

We have to hate every state in the Midwest, or states East of the Mississippi, or with warm weather year round, or with weather worse than even MN (i.e. Alaska, Montana, and Wyoming). So that leaves us with a few potential destinations that we are allowed to emigrate without completely disowning our motherland.

)  Sounds about right. 

My company actually stopped recruiting people from UMN because they would all go back to MN after a couple years.   

[jbondeson]

It's not our fault most everywhere else sucks! 

God I miss good fishing...

[HoffmanMyster]

-_-

[asdfjkl36]

-_-

It's okay 

[katushkin]

How long was it since the Bears last won at Lambeau? And how long since Jay Cutler beat the Packers?

Yes, we lost to the Panthers last week, but who hasn't?

[katushkin]

The ****ing Giants Redskins game is blacked out D:

**** you Sky! Can't ****ing watch it when I pay for Gamepass.

[hwood34]

****

[katushkin]

****

Mayn, you got runned over, all day...

[katushkin]

****, Gronk looks hurt pretty bad.

[Steezus]

****, Gronk looks hurt pretty bad.

Looks like he was putting pressure on his knee, may not be as bad as it seems.

[jbondeson]

Oooh man.

This gronk injury could be huge here.

[katushkin]

****, Gronk looks hurt pretty bad.

Looks like he was putting pressure on his knee, may not be as bad as it seems.

The way he was rolling around, it looks bad. He doesn't strike me as someone who would overreact. It does look like a hyper-extension of the knee.

Yeah if it's that they will really hurt the Patriots, their offense is starting to diminish.

[jbondeson]

Goddamit! Not OT

D:

[katushkin]

Gostkowski - literally the coolest cucumber.

[jbondeson]

Holy **** a running game!

(Helps that 3/4 of the Pats are injured)

[Steezus]

Wow, no more undefeated season for the Patriots.

[katushkin]

Well, ****.

[jbondeson]

What a crazy ass season. The bloody Panthers are the only unbeaten left at 11-0, and with how bad the rest of the teams left on their schedule are playing could seriously go 16-0

Craaaaaazy

[katushkin]

Undefeated. Cam Newton lifts the Lombardi in SB50.

It's gonna happen.

Then he will go on the cover of Madden and turn into RG3.

"Initial tests on Rob Gronkowski's knee rule out serious injury"

"Initial tests on Rob Gronkowski's knee rule out serious injury"

Yeah, saw videos of him walking out of the x-ray room unaided. He's had worse I guess

Look at the Redskins gonna make it to the playoffs this season 

[HoffmanMyster]

This Seattle / Vikings game tho. 

[35-0 1:00 3rd]

[HoffmanMyster]

Oh, nowww Minnesota is ready to score!?!

[absyrd]

Go Bears! Go Bills!

[hwood34]

2ND AND 36 PERFECT TIME TO RUN A SCREEN, THANKS KYLE!

[HoffmanMyster]

These Panthers are doing okay.
