NFL 2016/17 Season

Yeah the Philly D is awesome. Wentz has been awful the last 5 weeks though, think I heard that only Osweiler has a worse QBR over that time - need him to play a little better to support that defense.

This is false. Numbers aren't everything and it doesn't help when your WR's drop balls they shouldn't. He has only really struggled against the Skins (and that was Vaitai's frist game) and the Vikes. After the poor start in the Vikes game he played pretty well. Same goes against the Giants, rocky first quarter but played well enough to win.

So the Steelers have decided to get Bell involved a crap load on this first drive.

The Packers really are mediocre, we need to stop pretending that they're still what they were a few years back. Jukes still reckons they'll be in the SuperBowl vs the Colts in a few months time though I assume :P

Titans do have a beast of a running game, just wait until they get Mariota some receivers. Will be very hard to stop.

Called it weeks ago. They are so overrated. That whole division isn't very good as the Vikes lost their 4th in a row.

Pending what the Hawks do tonight they could claim to be the best team in the NFC. The NFC does seem very weak compared to previous seasons. I think the AFC have a stronger conference as of right now.

Eh, Philly receivers have dropped 14 passes all year - tied with 4 other teams for 5th most in the NFL, a fair bit but nothing too out of the ordinary. Yeah he doesn't have any weapons which is why it's hard to compare him to someone like say Prescott, but Wentz is 29th in QBR, 32nd in passer rating and 24th in DVOA. He's not quite the Joe Montana that Philly fans were making him out to be after 3 games :P

They have dropped way more then 15 and we had a couple more today. JMatt dropped one on 3rd down which would have put them in FG range, Ugholor turned into Ugholor and dropped a 3rd down conversion. It's when these drops occur that is the issue.

DVOA is again useless and no one uses it, QBR is BS that heavily weighs on the last quarter of games, most of the games that Philly won he was handing off the ball come the 4th quarter so his QBR is significantly lower. His passer rating is probably a better guide and it tied 21 not 32. It has dropped significantly off the back of the Vikes game where he really struggled.

For example with today's game his passer rating won't be all that high but it's because the game plan was to keep the Falcons off the field and gash them with the run. He probably had one poor throw and 2 huge drops. If they're catches his rating spikes and he is throwing at 75% for the game. Wentz is a stud, you just have to watch him play to see that.

[Mat0369]

Oh yeah, this also happened.

How bout that ending to the Broncos Saints game!

[Mat0369]

I was pretty confused at first when I saw the tracker.  Saints loss helps a lot of teams for a wild card birth in the NFC

[PowerBug]

Now this is interesting :o Big Ben to try and win it for Pittsburgh

[PowerBug]

WOW FAKE SPIKE BIG BEN WHAT A PLAY

[PowerBug]

Now Dak has a chance to be clutch again 3 timeouts and about 40 seconds

[RiOtChEsS]

Ezekiel MOTHERFLOWERIN Elliott

[PowerBug]

ZEKE MVP

[Mat0369]

Zeke is probably the league MVP right now unless Brady throws for 4 TD's and they blow out the Hawks.
