downhill from here >>> nfl 2017/18 weeks 10 thru 17 thread

am i making this up or is it ok to use "utilize" when you're talking about using something for a novel or unintended purpose? may apply to some of those qbs.

It's ok, but unnecessary.

My manager is a good guy, but instead of saying "use", or even "utilize", he favors the phrase "utilize or leverage". Not sure why he does, but it always makes me antsy.

i have experienced my share of corpspeak and have to say pulling off "utilize or leverage" is impressive.

see also "cadence"

lol nice

lol these teams are so bad

yes and the eagles are good

:D

does dallas play all its games at home or what

tyrod making a case

literally the worst challenge ever

if dion lewis was on another team he'd be getting a lot of press

so I went to that horrendous game at fedex field on Thanksgiving night and there was absolutely nothing memorable about it until... it was Eli's last starting game for the NYG. closed it out with an INT iirc

that's powerful motivation to get grandchildren

I forgot just how good dion lewis was, I guess since he didn't do much last year after the injury? idk.

yeah he was only partway back last year for sure, even offseason

"Not at a tailgate," Gronkowski said when asked if he'd ever busted a table. "But I've been through tables before. For sure. Family get-togethers. I've definitely been growing up (going) through tables."

No results found for "si gronk n'existait pas, il faudrait l'inventer".

btw pats are somehow going to get knocked out in the divisional round by baltimore. bookmark this

bills could really use a marcell dareus type player

lol someone threw a dildo onto the field again! 2nd year of a cherished new tradition in this division rivalry

this is a great pats bills tradition for sure

robert wtf

lol there wasn't a foul on the interception, you have got to be kidding me.

kinda surprised no ejections too.

NFL says Marcus Peters was not ejected from the game officially. He left game after tossing a penalty flag into the crowd. Walked right out

chiefs have legit fallen to pieces. chargers are going to win that division

jesus

gronk did a no

I'm not watching the games this year but I am following the Vikings' season record.

I am expecting an implosion at some point but right now... I might feel hopeful?

it's just that the qb situation is so dubious

yeah I don't know what to think but you can't ignore the Rams then going on the road to beat the Falcons

the defense is absolutely great though so they may not have to score that many points

i think it's maybe time to stop expecting keenum to just turn bad suddenly. he knows he's playing with exactly a 1 game rope with teddy in the wings now, great motivation. thielen is so good. vikes are extremely legit.

i mean, keenum's not just getting by, he's playing well. jeff fisher escape velocity.

wish they could've had cook for the full season tho

sean payton having a 3rd string qb play special teams is next leveling belichick, probably keeps him up at night

yeah it's also entirely possible that Keenum was underrated by draft experts because he doesn't really have the physical attributes of a big time qb and then struggled because Fisher sucks

I'm sure Zimmer is loving that aspect since he hates Fisher so much

Friggin Seahawks

ughhh

wow that pass by wentz

ANOTHER ONE

That non challenge cost them a TD and probably the game

the nfc is definitely the fun conference. eagles/rams and vikes/panthers next week, hoo boy

rams is the hardest single game either has left but i think the vikes sched is slightly tougher overall. v good chance the vikes plus the winner of the eagles/rams game will be the 1 and 2.

gaining 450yds and only scoring 10pts is pretty rough

I expect Vikings will be number 1 in the power rankings?

Seattle has beat the Vikings and Eagles (Vikings was preseason though)

the new england patriots are #1 in the only power rankings that matter, gods

yea but Vikes probably #2 now. their schedule has been kinda brutal but they're killing it. that said they're obviously gonna choke in the playoffs as karmic retribution for breaking Rodgers' collarbone

pats have won 8 straight but probably played 0 playoff teams in that stretch (with atl losing this weekend). the best defensive stretch of belichick career in terms of points allowed too.
