2016 NFL Gameday Thread

With the Patriots success you kinda can. The defense is playing at its best right now, and we already stopped Le'Veon this year. They have an awful defense respectively, and I see no evidence at all saying they could beat us. I'm a lot more scared of Oakland than I am Pittsburgh tbh

 

[CameronCrazy06]

Pittsburgh on their A game can beat anybody. Their offense is so good. They arguably have the best RB and WR in the league. Obviously the patriots are going to be favored against anybody, but to act like Pittsburgh couldn't beat them 3 or 4 times out of 10 is just being arrogant. I thought you learned this lesson with the Ravens in 2012

 

[CameronCrazy06]

And not to discount the patriots run (clearly a phenomenal franchise), but for every super bowl you can name that they've won, I can name w time where they lost to a team they had absolutely no right losing to in the playoffs

 

[bosoxlover12]

The Ravens have a history of beating us though pre-2012, and they win through their defense. The lesson of beating the Patriots have been the same since 2007 -- get pressure from your front 4 and drop 7. Pittsburgh doesn't have strong enough of a pass rush at all

New England has held Leveon already this season. We're gonna run Cover 2 all day and shadow butler on AB. I'm not being arrogant, i'm being realistic. KC would be a huge threat to us -- Pittsburgh isn't. They barely beat the Ravens yesterday, and probably would have lost if BAL had better time management

i can name 2 -- 2010 Jets and 2007 Giants. We barely beat Baltimore in 2011 so it wasn't shocking losing to them in 2012. Brady is never good @DEN so those losses aren't shocking. 2009 we had no receivers since Walker was out. 06 Colts won the Super Bowl lol, and 05 Broncos were def better than us

 

[CameronCrazy06]

09 Ravens and 2011-12 giants also stand out

 

[bosoxlover12]

09 Ravens had Rookie Edelman starting at WR (he wasn't good until 2013 really) and 2011 Giants had Edelman starting at goddamn cornerback, along with Slater

 

[CameronCrazy06]

That giants team was still mediocre as hell haha

 

[bosoxlover12]

so were we. we won the game before vs BAL on a missed 30 yarder, and had the 31st ranked defense

 

[bosoxlover12]

plus no gronk really

13-3 vs 9-7

giants beat a 15-1 Packers on their way to the Super Bowl

i was nervous as shit for the 2011 Super Bowl and only someone who solely paid attention to records wouldn't be

 

[elcheato]

The Packers went 15-1 in 2011? I literally don't remember that 

 

[bosoxlover12]

The Packers went 15-1 in 2011? I literally don't remember that 

they were 14-0 before the lost to some scrub team iirc and they got blown out by the giants in the playoffs

 

[CameronCrazy06]

Was it the Chiefs? I vaguely remember that

 

[Foreman]

Probably the Lions

 

[.infamous]

Need boldin and Dallas defense to do nothing tonight. I'm ahead by 14 points in my fantasy league

 

[bosoxlover12]

Was it the Chiefs? I vaguely remember that

i think so

 

[Teagz]

I think that 2011 Giants team is the worst team to ever win a Super Bowl, they were so mediocre until the playoffs started. I don't think any other champion had a stretch where they lost 5 out of 6.

 

[Pugz]

they better not take that td away
