Only thing I'm pretty sure of is that stopping the run isn't a big priority. Browner got murdered covering TE's in that game so hopefully it can't get worse than that.

Xenomorph acid is called bleach on our planet.
How are Cobb's hands? What Cam needs more than anything is a slot receiver who can reliably get open underneath and catch the ball. Deep threats are nice, but the way this team plays, we need to move the chains in short yardage situations.

loooooooooool
This is amazing.
Nope.
I think they're pretty good. This isn't exactly the same thing, but a good proxy is targets. Cobb's caught 227 of 307 career targets (74%).
Yeah that's probably right. I was gonna put 1A to Kelvin's 1B, but same thing.
If he didn't say he was getting their bandwagon at the end that is probably a perfect imitation of what is going on at ez's house this week!
Not only would I love to watch that defense break the Pats, but I think I'd enjoy Wussle stylin' on them and Lynch running all up in dat ass. I actually like Rodgers (sorry he took an SB from you guys) but that regular season game against the Pats was too damn close! We need athletic freaks like the Hawks to beat them.
I have already rewatched the Week 11 matchup because there is still a small part of me that believes! It's like 85/15--will likely go down during the week. It is clear they don't give a fuck when we run it. Unless it's near goal line, ya'll committing to pass nearly 90% of the time.
Fleener reminds me of a young inferior Dallas Clark if he was a bit of a pussy with long hair, but he's coming along great this season. Waaayyyyy better than what he was even a year ago. Needs to be a bit more consistent in traffic and a better blocker. Allen needs to have a big game too, it will be interesting because while it seems like all Bill does is take TY away--he does something different every time we play his team. It is kind of amazing how he seems to take away whatever is working for us at that point and time.
Fuck em'.
I thought Kas' thread was the most concentrated form of football stupidity this board would ever see.
I was wrong.

Yeah getting that itch to get back into FF XIV. It's been a while so I should get back into it.
If it is Hawk/Pats and the Hawks are destroying them I am pretty sure I am going to get thrown out of my buddies SB party.
I am unable to handle that amount of awesome without it spilling over!
Lets hope it doesn't come to that and we get Colts/Hawks. That way no matter who wins I won't care and I can just enjoy the game.
Behold, the Lord and savior Luckbeard. He shall carry NFL-GAF's fiery sword of insularity into Foxborough and vanquish evil.
Or he can leave throwing 3 picks in a 20 point loss.

I made this for my Cowboys fan friend.
Lose the tags. It's funnier with just the speech bubbles.

I just think he'll be too expensive for the role he'd play on this team. I'd rather spend that money on a LT and go after a less marquee receiver.

The Packers should have no excuse getting Lacy going on the ground. Then Rodgers should go off in the 2nd half on a more tired defense.
Key to the game is turnover battle.
As I said previously, use Matthews to spy Wilson, let everyone else do their jobs. Play dime.

What are Pack fans' opinions of Lacy 2 years in?
You can't just say you'd "rather spend that money on a LT" though. Have you seen the FA class?

Bulaga would be nice, but I doubt the Packers let him walk (I'm certain they'd prioritize Bulaga over Cobb). After that, King Dunlap could be an intriguing option, although caveat that this is the first season he started 16 games in his career. Michael Roos if healthy would be a nice vet stopgap to mentor a first round draft pick.
If you're not signing one of those 3, well...there's really no one else worth signing. I would rather spend $$$ on a proven difference maker and draft an OT on a cost-controlled contract than splurge for a mediocre at best LT.

Even if Hardy beats his criminal trial (which is a pretty big if), you still have to deal with paying probably double digit salary for a guy that hasn't been in football for basically a year with loads and loads of baggage.
If we didn't have capable pass rushers here still with Ealy/Horton/Addison/Alexander (who, albeit, are all much more situationally good compared to Hardy who gives you every-down and inside/outside flexibility that's rare of a DE) I think we might have rolled the dice with him, but now?
He'll probably be Oakland's headache to deal with.

Well Pats failed miserably at stopping the run against the Ravens when they tried to so it's an option. I said it earlier though. At this stage teams are what they are I think. I can't see the Colts flipping their entire year of basically slanging it to suddenly playing a super balanced attack although that is how teams have beaten the Pats. Press man ball control. I guess we'll find out.
On offense my main concern is McCarthy trying to get too cute with the play calling. I agree with you though, in the first half they need to pound the defense with Lacy and then have Rodgers scorch them in the second half after Seattle's defense is tired
and Rodger's calf is loose
I think he's the best back we've had since, I dunno, prime Ahman Green? Dorsey Levens?
Yeah I know what you mean. I think Russell is damn good, he's just so young we have to wait and see how it all plays out. To be fair I feel similar to luck, and I should've included I'm not quite sure, only it's harder with him given he's the 1 overall, and to be fair to him, he's had a lot more put on his shoulders, that seahawks team would compete with just about anyone back there. Russell also hasn't got a chance to show us what he really can do with some actual weapons, and that's crazy to think about.
Any Bobs Burgers fans? Season 6 confirmed!
It's not even worth the carpel tunnel to entertain the thought. My guess is we go into camp with CJ and Alexander as the starting ends, Ealy as the top rotational guy, and probably supplement the position with a mid-round pick (3rd/4th).
Same as your and mine, he's fat.
:lol
The only way the Packers win is if the Hawks choke and the Packers pull something out of their diseased assholes.
This is pretty much the same analysis I have for the Colts.
You guys are fucked unless Lacy turns into Bell by the weekend. He is your only hope and we all know he isn't going to do enough.
And throw to Sherman's side.
Thats rude.
The Bus was even fatter and he is a HOF back that I loved until the Colts paid him off to throw that game.
Thank goodness for Ben and drunk kickers that choke.
The Packers defense is the key. They need to limit the Seahawks to a few short drives in order to have any kind of a chance. If Lynch gets going the Packers are boned. If they can hold the Seakhawks to around 20 points then the Packers have a shot.
Fat Eddie sounds better than The Bus
