NBA OFF TOPIC THREAD

You talk a lot of shit but if you put Carr on the Saints....they are one of the better teams in the NFC.

The Saints have had some of the worst QB'ing in the League this season with Semen and Hill.

Difference is they had Drew Brees for 15+ years. Only a matter of time before he retired and they never found a young replacement. When they did make a move, he gets injured. There aren’t a lot of teams that have good 2nd or 3rd stringers at QB and once you do have them playing, your chances of winning beyond the regular season is almost non-existent.

True but Saints are so good otherwise that they can be fine with a mediocre Qb

Yeah, they're just 5-7.

LOL.

 

[bksballer89]

Yeah, they're just 5-7.

LOL.

They were 5-2 with a mediocre QB in Winston. You can't possibly be this dumb

 

[trojanfan12]

I take the other side.

Easy to criticize because it didn’t work.

But, Harbaugh was playing to win and playing the percentages.

OT is a 50-50 proposition and the Steelers seemed to have the edge and game flow on their side in the 2nd half.

Ravens had a play they liked, and I believe they score on that play more than 50% of the time.

I like the call, like the decision, but it didn’t work.

Agree. Just because the play didn't work, doesn't necessarily mean it was a bad call. Sometimes you make the right call and the defense wins anyway.

Yeah i don't mind it. OT won't offer you a better situation. 1 play to get 2 yards and win the game

 

[Black Adam]

Yeah, they're just 5-7.

LOL.

Bks did ask how the Chiefs could fix a shitty defense when they were 3-4. I'd say the last five games have answered that question...

Seriously though, when the playoffs get here the question will truly be answered...

They have definitely improved that defense that looked lost but it's not like they played the best offenses, just sayin...

Giants - one of the worst offenses
Packers - Jordan Love
Raiders - I mean this team is very inconsistent, offense has been bad of late
Cowboys - seems like every since Dak came back from injury and that Denver loss this team is lost. They are playing Zeke even though he is injured, OL hurt...that team has issues at the moment
Broncos - one of the worst offenses

BUT STILL, like I said, the defense looked lost halfway through the season, if they keep it up they are back to a contender. The offense is still not looking like their old self though, not sure what is up there.

They're greatly improved. It wasn't like they were seeing great offenses in the 3-4 start either. They've really turned a corner.

Um, you're 5-7. And by tiebreaker, last in your division.

I know that. Sieman is far worse than a mediocre QB which is why things went to shit once Winston tore his ACL. My point was with Winston who is a true mediocre qb they were 5-2

 

[Shanemansj13]

They definitely were seeing WAY BETTER teams/offenses and most importantly physical offenses too, in the rough stretch. Still improved a lot but no comparison about the competition

Browns - (when they actually looked good and healthy), Ravens, Bills, Titans, Chargers

 

[Shanemansj13]

Anyone see CC recently? LOL

From what I've seen and heard, defenses are taking away the big plays and forcing them to put together drives of more than 3 or 4 plays. Mahomes eventually gets impatient and tries to make a big play anyway and it puts them behind the chains.

Defenses will keep doing that until they show they can make sustained drives.

 

[WiggyRuss]

Yeah i don't mind it. OT won't offer you a better situation. 1 play to get 2 yards and win the game

ehhh i see your point- but the Ravens do have easily the best kicker in football- which is an advantage in OT...when you have a kicker who can nail a 60+ yard field goal.

Point was they're definitely trending in the right direction...

 

[Wamu]

I like 12 so that the top teams can get a bye.

I’d be good with 8 though too.

4 is better than 2, but still just not enough. Almost creates more problems.

My concern with a 12 team playoff is what will it do to the regular season. It would have to be shorter than what it is now right?

He's learning. You can see it in his most recent outings...

Not worried about Mahomes one bit...

12 INT's, you should be. Maybe they are just figuring out the youngster. One trick pony? LOL
