Title: 2017 "Real" (& Fantasy) Football Thread - Super Bowl Long IIsland
Post by: Kilgamayan on July 18, 2017, 01:06:08 AM
>implying the NFL isn't rigged

Much to the delight of DeAngelo Williams, Steve Smith Senior, and Josh Norman, apparently the Panthers fired their GM today (http://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/20087983/dave-gettleman-carolina-panthers-general-manager), which made me remember that Ftahdr is a human being that exists (https://www.shrinemaiden.org/forum/index.php?action=profile;u=302). I'll be honest, I'm only making this thread as a honey pot because I want his reaction to this news. But eventually we'll get around to fantasy stuff too. (Who's gonna roll the dice on Ezekiel Elliot this year?)

So I want two things out of this season, and it's the same two things I always want.

-I want the Ravens to lose and lose horribly, because I'm a Neohioan and I do not forget or forgive. Nursing a grudge is our state sport.
-I want the South to lose, because it will hurt them worse than many other things will.

If I can have these. I will be happy. If I have to pick one, I want the latter first. That's my foobaw take.

I think you're going to get both of those.  The AFC South is probably dogshit again this season, and the Ravens are literally going to start Ryan Mallett.

I hesitate to ask this, but...is there any team that's not a trainwreck held together by metaphorical and perhaps physical duct tape in some way?

Because searching for one reminds me when the political map thread went through every country on earth trying to find one that wasn't shitty some blatant and should-be-easily-fixable way, and came up empty.

Holy shit the guy that got burned by the Vegas bookee

I hesitate to ask this, but...is there any team that's not a trainwreck held together by metaphorical and perhaps physical duct tape in some way?

Off the top of my head:

* Patriots
* Steelers (arguably, though Le'Veon Bell has a roll pulled out and ready)
* Raiders (!!!!)
* Cowboys (arguably, though Ezekiel Elliott borrowed a roll from Le'Veon Bell)
* Packers
* Falcons

That's, uh, basically it. There are a number of teams that could also maybe be good (Chiefs, Broncos, and Seahawks primarily, maybe the Giants and Ravens if you squint hard enough) but ultimately will not sniff their respective conference championships.

Maybes are: Vic (moved to Japan but we may be able to schedule the draft when it's convenient for him), Hain (Hasn't posted in here yet but is still around as far as I know), and Kilga's and my respective mostly-off-site pals.

I think we may be able to fish for 10 this year.  Thoughts?

This week, but I can do my post SB write-up right quick:

Fuck the Falcons and the city of Atlanta forever and ever Amen. All these pundits out there thinking that the Falcons are gonna be good this year are completely fucking delusional. This is a team that once scored 2 points in a playoff and are the owners of the biggest comeback DEFEAT in Super Bowl history and you think they're gonna bounce right back? Fuck outta here! You saw the Panthers choke after their SB loss and that wasn't an actual historic beatdown. You think Matt Ryan gonna stay calm and collected? Freeman signed an extension and then got hurt. Their incredibly ridiculous stadium origami roof still doesn't work. You think they're gonna stop the Bucs this year? Winston got the most terrifyingly underrated receiving corps in history and they're getting ignored to slob the Falcons' knob yet again. Falcons staying the hell home this postseason.

Braving the dangers of expired security certificates to post, is the draft finalized for Sept.3, 6 PM EST?

Quote from: WYTS17
Despite being top-10 all-time in literally every QB category and being a mortal lock for the Hall of Fame, it is impossible to win any argument about Eli because there?s no rebuttal for his dumb face.
Ahh catharsis.
Title: Re: 2017 "Real" & Fantasy Football Thread - Madden: The Gathering
Post by: Kilgamayan on August 28, 2017, 11:40:29 PM
It has legitimately never occurred to me before as even remotely possible, but today's Magary made me realize that not only does Eli deserve some HoF considerations, but he actually has a halfway-decent case. In my head, he's been 27 years old ever since he joined the league and is a turnover machine that constantly has a look on his face that matches the one Jay Cutler had from that one .gif where he accidentally got smacked in the face by a ref. But then I stopped and thought about it and remembered that he has two Super Bowl MVPs and a ton of longetivity.

Even after writing that, it still feels weird to think of him as "good", let alone potentially HoF-worthy.

The draft is as finalized as it's going to be barring multiple people meeting unexpected disaster; I certainly don't intend to reschedule it for shits and giggles.

Teams have been culled down to 8, which means that, unless we get back up to at least 10, two important changes will be made:

* The playoffs will be trimmed to four teams.
* Roster sizes will be expanded. I haven't decided exactly how much yet, but you can all count on the return of TWO QUARTERBACK SLOTS HELL YES EVERYONE CAN EAT MY ENTIRE ASS
Title: Re: 2017 "Real" & Fantasy Football Thread - Madden: The Gathering
Post by: Edible on August 29, 2017, 03:21:05 AM
The only way 8 teams is fun is with a 2 QB league.  I'm on board.

Re: Eli, honestly he's been a HoF shoe-in since 2007.  It's annoying because he's not great, but he's never missed a game and he's in a massive sports market and he had The Catch and he won two superbowls.  But jackoffs like Joe Namath are in, and that's why Eli will get in.

Lions just gave Stafford a 5 year/135M contract, 92M of it guaranteed, making him the highest paid player in the NFL.

My only thought is LOLIONS

Stafford is 5-43 against winning teams, only 1 of those wins is on the road.

Plus 0/3 in the playoffs. 0 division titles.

Stafford basically got paid because the Lions are idiots and Stafford is good at padding his stats in garbage time.

Post by: Suwako Moriya on August 29, 2017, 01:28:37 PM
Even worse than that is that a reasonable argument could be made that Stafford is a Top 10 QB in the league right now, depending on how one feels about Luck, Manning, and the shambling corpse of Drew Brees.
Title: Re: 2017 "Real" & Fantasy Football Thread - Madden: The Gathering
Post by: Edible on August 29, 2017, 03:16:04 PM
You can absolutely make the argument that he's top 10, along with other ??? QBs like Eli and Cousins.  It's a little weird, because saying "Kirk Cousins is a top 10 QB" just feels wrong and yet, are there really 10 starters better than him?

When Brady and Brees retire (next year?) it's gonna be gross in the NFL.  Roethlisberger and Rivers won't be long either.  (Eli will probably play until he's 50 just to irritate Pats fans further).
Title: Re: 2017 "Real" & Fantasy Football Thread - Madden: The Gathering
Post by: Suwako Moriya on August 29, 2017, 03:47:36 PM
Well, my thinking was this:

Rodgers Tier: Rodgers
Brady Tier: Brady
Top Tier: Roethlisberger, Ryan, Newton
Upper High Tier: Rivers, Carr, Wilson
Mid High Tier: Luck, A. Smith, Manning, Stafford, Brees
Mid Tier: T. Taylor, Flacco, Dalton, Mariotta, Prescott, Cousins, Winston
Mid Low Tier: Tannehill, Wentz, Palmer
Low Tier: Goff
Bottom Tier: Bortles
Shit Tier: Whatever garbage bags will get thrown out there by the Jets, Browns, Texans, Broncos, Vikings, Bears, and 49ers

That list may be overly kind to Alex Smith and Drew Brees but it might also sell several of the Mid Tier guys short (most notably Mariotta and Cousins), so Stafford's Top 10 competition sort of balances out. I would personally put Stafford down at #9 overall (that is, better than all of the Mid Upper guys), but I could see arguments for putting the guys on the same level as him slightly above him.

Title: Re: 2017 "Real" & Fantasy Football Thread - Madden: The Gathering
Post by: Rin Kagamine on September 02, 2017, 03:17:47 PM
>implying the NFL isn't rigged

Much to the delight of DeAngelo Williams, Steve Smith Senior, and Josh Norman, apparently the Panthers fired their GM today (http://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/20087983/dave-gettleman-carolina-panthers-general-manager), which made me remember that Ftahdr is a human being that exists (https://www.shrinemaiden.org/forum/index.php?action=profile;u=302). I'll be honest, I'm only making this thread as a honey pot because I want his reaction to this news. But eventually we'll get around to fantasy stuff too. (Who's gonna roll the dice on Ezekiel Elliot this year?)


man I haven't that name in forever. Now I guess I finally gotta write some shit about our GM. Fucking ugh.

OUR GENERAL MANAGER: DAVE GETTLEMAN HOLY SHIT THEY FINALLY LISTENED TO ME AND FIRED DAVE GETTLEMAN WHO BUILT A SUCCESSFUL TEAM DESPITE HIS COLOSSAL FUCKING INEPTITUDE AT ACTUALLY BUILDING A FUCKING TEAM! Thank the good lord that he's out, very strange that they waited until well after a pretty decent draft class to fire him. Let's see who they got to replace him, right after a take a great big sip of coffe-
MARTY FUCKING HURNEY!?
ARE YOU KIDDING ME?!?!?!?!? WE MANAGED TO HIRE THE ONE FUCKING PERSON THAT GETTLEMAN WAS CONSIDERED AN UPGRADE FROM? WHAT THE EVERLIVING FUCKING FUCK!? I HATE THIS TEAM SO FUCKING BAD!!!

Let's recap: Marty Hurney rewarded veterans and past successes with incredibly lucrative and undeserved contracts and by the time the salary cap really came around we (the Panthers) were in such deep deep trouble because Hurney had decided to pay RBs Jonathan Stewart and DeAngelo Williams and probably one other guy approximately 18 Gorillian dollars and we were quite literally in a literal hell literally not figuratively but literally. Due to these horrifically toxic contracts and his failure at evaluating talent and inability to field a competitive team, Hurney was rightly fired. Then we got Dave Gettleman who managed to do one and only one good thing in his entire tenure: get us out of the Marty Hurney Cap Hell Danger Zone Lana Archer Jokes For The Win Lol. He had very little goodwill with the fans and frankly should have been fired years and years ago because the man was atrocious at player management and somehow even worse(!!!) than Hurney at drafting! Let's start there: I honestly and truly believe that Dave Gettleman's childhood pet was once kicked by an Elite First Round Talent Offensive Tackle becuase Gettleman avoided them like the goddamn plague. He drafted FOUR FUCKING DEFENSIVE TACKLES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! in his tenure, all in the first or second round. HEY YOU GODDAMN MORON ONLY TWO OF THEM CAN PLAY AT A TIME oh and he fucking loved to try and convert players to positions they had never played before OH YEAH THAT'S THE GOOD STUFF! NOTHING LIKE A BAD DT PLAYING EVEN WORSE AT DE BECAUSE ONE OF THOSE MUST HAVE SHOT GETTLEMAN'S FATHER IN AN ALLEY LIKE SOME KIND OF FRANCHISE RUINING SUPERHERO ORIGIN STORY! His utter aversion to Oline talent led to his accidentally finding a stud Guard in Trai Turner and making Cam Newton RUN FOR HIS FUCKING LIFE EVERY GODDAMN WEEK so now when the dogwhistle racists say Cam is just a running QB I got no choice but to point at the tape and tell them YOU'RE GODDAMN RIGHT HE IS!

I've been on the "Fire Gettleman" bandwagon for years and the fact that he was fired at the worst possible time and replaced with the previous GM that was generally seen in pleasant terms as "garbage" is mind-boggling ineptitude. I can't wait for Hurney to give Julius Peppers a 1 year 58 mil contract because he's a TRUE PANTHER AND WE TAKE CARE OF OUR OWN! Fucking gag me, I never thought that our next GM would make me PINE for Gettleman before the first fucking game. Jesus Tapdancing Christ. I'm so goddamn mad.

GB/Sea was a strange game. Just looking at the stats, you'd have thought that GB crushed Sea. Watching the game, I feel that it was lucky that GB even won.

This bizarro world of week one where the Bills, Jaguars, and Rams are all sitting alone in 1st place of their divisions.

Call it a hunch, but I suspect the Pats are gonna be just fine.  The last time they started 2-2, they won the superbowl.

The time before that they started 2-2, they went to the AFC title game.

I'm suddenly quite angry and I don't know why.  Fuck you, Boston! :|

TEs in general are injury risks due to their build.  These guys are all effectively basketball players, usually 6'5" at a minimum, with weight to match.  In a physical sport like football, your height and weight can give you advantages during plays but also can make your body more susceptible to injury.

Offense isn't even doing as badly as I thought it would, given they don't have their #1 or #2 receiver.  Blake's still bad but he's making fewer boneheaded plays and Fournette is fantastic.

Obviously the big story in Jacksonville is the defense, though.  Basically, don't even try to throw downfield.

Honest answer, it's because, unfortunately, a majority of Packers fans are outright stupid and actually think Fat Mike is a good coach. The fact that Godgers doesn't have multiple rings by now is a crime against humanity.

Green gets zero games for choking an opponent and punching him in the head repeatedly, Evans gets one game for jumping on a dude's back.

I do not, and probably never will, understand the NFL.

Post by: Kilgamayan on November 06, 2017, 11:27:59 PM
Yeah uh I sure as hell wouldn't have bet on Evans in that hypothetical.

The only reason I can think of is that Green has more or less been a model citizen before this and Ramsey had been (allegedly) needling him all game, and that Evans came flying into a situation that had absolutely nothing to do with him and turned nothing into something.

GB is in a similar situation where Indy was a few years ago when the lost Peyton Manning for the year. With Godgers/Manning, they're a playoff team. Without them, they're in competition for the #1 draft pick. People severely underestimate how much Godgers covers up just how bad GB is, overall.

Not to say Green Bay is good, but he's a sight better than Hundley and is probably just good enough to keep their heads barely above water in the event Rodgers actually is able to return at the end of the season.

That said, I'd still pick Houston; they were legitimately a playoff-caliber team with Watson and Kaepernick is very similar in play style (as opposed to the literal dumpster fire that is the Savage/Yates/McGloin situation). Plus McNair may think it would help get people off his back.

Based on what exactly? Save for week 8 (when Dak died) he's been he's been outplayed and outperformed every single week by either Dak or Alex Smith or both. Ben had also thrown for more than 300 yards only twice this season, one of which was a dud against Jacksonville in which he scored 7.58 fantasy points. Additionally, Thursday night games are notorious for terrible QB performances. Further, Tennessee has a good -- not great -- defense, but not one that would a very tantalizing matchup. Beyond that, I have a way better team than you this year.

In short: suck my dick you fuckman

It's time for me to have a little mini-rant of my own.

The "fire Mike McCarthy" Green Bay fans are blind. Nearly all the complaints are 'the players aren't any good' or 'he's fucking terrible (I don't know why that is, but people I know are saying it so it must be true, right?)' or "he can't scheme!". Really? What I saw in the last two weeks was a victory of scheme and personnel use against teams with more talent. The Steelers game should have been a blowout, yet it wasn't. The Buc's dominated the scoreline and were clearly the better team, but saving the read option until the end of the game to add just enough unpredictability and flummox a buccaneers defense that knew the run was coming (the box was absolutely stacked against the run). That's the kind of difference scheme makes. You can't coach a player into running faster, and the receivers weren't creating separation. That doesn't mean hundley played well, but Rodgers covers up those sorts of player imbalances.

They're right that the team is lacking on talent as a whole at this point, but I'm not sure what they expect after drafting in the 20's for a decade straight. That's the way the draft is built. What does McCarthy have to do with that, though? Or perhaps they think firing Coughlin solved all of the Giant's talent issues.

As for the complaint that McCarthy's record is only good because they have Rodgers, well yes. I recommend you look up Bill Belichick's record with the Patriots before injury forced them to play a no-name quarterback.

I'll agree that McCarthy has done well in Rodgers' absence, but there have just been too many times over the years where he's made some incredibly boneheaded decisions that have cost his team games for me to think he's actually a good coach.  Whether he should be fired is another matter entirely, but I think he's on the level of "just successful enough" to avoid getting shitcanned and is otherwise slightly better than, say, Marvin Lewis.

Re: NYG, I think the Maras have been covering their ass re: the Eli benching and just threw McAdoo and Reese to the wolves.  Not that they didn't deserve to be canned prior to the Eli fiasco, but...

He's appealing because if the suspension is enforced, he loses $5.5 million this year due to a contract stipulation.

People are gonna make an effort to get anyone other than Brady the nod, but there's no one left who really deserves it unless they somehow manage to give it to a defensive player (CALAIS CAMPBELL JALEN RAMSEY AJ BOUYE YANNICK NGAKOUE COUGH).  Anyway yeah Brady has it in the bag.

However, any DPOTY award that is not given to a Jaguar this year is utterly invalid.  People keep saying Bobby Wagner and I'm like... this dude would be maybe the 5th best player on our defense at best.

Considering the NFL has to approve placing players on IR and the fact that the NFL is refusing to comment and directing all questions about it to GB, yes. It's the same rule (and punishment) that gets ignored when hurt veterans are placed on IR at the end of the year to evaluate younger players. "Multiple Teams" (aka Bears/Vikings/Lions) are making a stink because it's Aaron Rodgers, not that they care the rule is being broken.

Also, I did better than last time for sure, despite my team always being injured.

I am mad I didn't realize this was it; otherwise I would have put on Kaepernick.

What is the most surprising is that they hired a new OC before the team was sold and, hopefully, before a new GM was hired. I doubt NORV was in really high demand and that they needed to act now. Still, can't be much worse than Mike Shula

It's amazing to think that, in this day and age of "pass pass pass it's the only way to win", we were closer to a final four of Bortles, Foles, Keenum, and Mariota than Brady, Brees, Roethlisberger, and Ryan.

I guess "defense wins championships" will forever be the one constant in football.

Jags tried to hide Bortles all game, it was bound to fail eventually.

Jags had 2 timeouts left with 55 on the clock and chose to kneel it out instead of attempting anything. If that doesn't prove that they don't trust Bortles then idk what to tell you.

Jags gonna fall off a cliff next season unless they replace Bortles, like the 2016 Cardinals fell off.

Nick Foles:  The next Joe Flacco or the next Kurt Warner?
Rich Joe Flacco

Man, even in the grand scheme of sports championship celebrations, Philly fans did some crazy-ass shit last night.

You can't just say that and not provide ample storytimes. AND I DON'T MEAN NO ARTICLE LINKS NEITHER!

See, you say that, but it's so much easier when Deadspin has already compiled the seven hojillion video tweets into a single location. :(

Here's (https://deadspin.com/things-philadelphians-did-1822724326) a general roundup. The Ritz-Cartlon Awning got its own post (https://deadspin.com/the-saga-of-the-awning-1822717617) because there was a lot more to it than just the one video. (The horseshit-eating guy also got his own post, but there isn't really anything more to add to a man eating literal horseshit.)

There is no way McDaniels does this unless he's guaranteed the HC job with BB retires, right?

Andrew Luck is never throwing a football again confirmed

There is no way McDaniels does this unless he's guaranteed the HC job with BB retires, right?
Why would he want to be guaranteed the job when they don't even have a backup QB on the roster, much less the QB of the future?

This feels more like an 'unfinished business' decision.

I mean, pulling this almost guarantees that he'll never be a HC anywhere else in the league.

Schefter: Text from one league source: ?That?s Kraft putting it to the Colts again. He will forever try and (expletive) that place ever since deflate gate.? (https://twitter.com/adamschefter/status/961045214399025152)

Edit: aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

Also Schefter: On Sunday, ESPN's @mortreport reported there still are doctors who have concerns about Andrew Luck's shoulder and whether he could wind up needing additional surgery. (https://twitter.com/AdamSchefter/status/961059785561997312)

Ok then, yeah, if I was McDaniels and I heard that Luck might be more fucked up than previously thought, I'd be doing whatever I could to get the hell out of that decision.

Holy moley, Jimmy G got himself paid (https://twitter.com/MikeGarafolo/status/961668166211522561).

$74 mil of that is guaranteed btw

Yeah he did.

And Cousins is gonna use that contract as a baseline.

(Come on down to Florida where you don't have to pay income tax, buddy!)

He certainly will, though it'll be interesting to see if he actually gets what he wants, or if what's happening in baseball starts making its way into football.
