Shady Slim Posted January 15, 2018 Share Posted January 15, 2018 i managed to go a perfect 0 from 4 on teams that i wanted to win this weekend, guess i used all my goodwill on other things (though i did go 2 from 4 game picks if we're talking that way) in regards to the jags steelers game the steelers played like the 2016 saints and the jags played the role of the cowboys of 2016, ben having to put in a legitimately all time great i'd say passing performance but falling to his team's schlunky defense, here against the run specifically, and needing to play a nigh on perfect game in spite of that then we had the saints who pulled a vikings and found an incredibly heartbreaking way for them to lose, up against the vikings at minnesota, possibly setting them up to play a home super bowl!! the steelers gave me so much hope so many times but the jaguars kept putting it just that very minute extra bit out of reach, even with as i said an ATG performance from the very same big ben they massacred last time they played and what about the vikings game, drew brees coming back from a 17-0 deficit to get the saints all but to the NFCCG, before watching the defense fall to an absolute dime launched by case frickin keenum, compounded by a mad whiff by one of their impressive rookies that helped get them so far even though both of them lost brees and ben showed they're well away from being forced in to retirement by old age, and keenum and blake showed they can win a super bowl if the breaks go their way and the right pieces surround them. i'm fanboying so very hard rn but this is what football is all about word Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because it was the Pats against yet another cupcake team. Theyve had the easiest schedule in the NFL by a landslide this season. 6 free wins a season in their own division alone Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because the destruction of the Vikings is a glorious thing(I know it's technically destruction of the gods but whatever)...although maybe not this year if it keeps the Pats from winning again. Seriously though, because I've always loved older mythology and I've been using this same moniker since 2009 or so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not about me being anti-tax that's not really the case honestly it's about the fact that that division sucks. The Jets still need a coaching change in my opinion but until those teams got much better Talent the Patriots will always control that Division and it is what it is it's not the Patriots fault right but the point being is the Titans were just another nobody. Patriots had no control over who they played other than having gotten the number one seed so it's not their fault that they got an easy game but the fact is that they did Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Patriots had no control over who they played other than having gotten the number one seed so it's not their fault that they got an easy game but the fact is that they did During the Belichick/Brady era, the Patriots W/L with AFC East is 79/23, 0.775, the rest of the league is 130/40, 0.765. Pretty much the same. But maybe that's too much history, what about recently? Last 5 years: AFC East is 28/8, 0.778, the rest of the league is 47/13, 0783. They also only swept their division twice during the Belichick/Brady era. Basically, they are rarely ever getting 6 free wins with their own division. Also the Patriots had the 23rd hardest schedule in 2017. Out of all the 13-3 teams only the Vikings had it tougher, but they were tied for 18th - 21st hardest schedule. Eagles and Steelers had easier schedules. Sure it wasn't the hardest schedule, but far from the easiest schedule. But back on topic, the first half of the Vikings/Saints games was boring. The second half was good and had an amazing finish. Definitely the more memorable game. My pick was the Steelers/Jags. That game entertaining throughout with lots of big plays, back and forth scoring and head scratching coaching. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Easily one of my favorite Packer posters. You want to learn about the Packers follow this guy and @Ketchup My favorite was the Steelers and Jags. No stress involved for me just some good football.

3rivers Posted January 15, 2018 Share Posted January 15, 2018 1. vikes 2. eagles 3. pats 4. jags Despite the Jags game being won by 3 points , it was a terrible game and should have been a blow out. Perfect example of how the score doesn't tell the whole story. Jags played great but the steelers didn't show up until the second half . The Vikes game will always be remembered , what a game and final play with perfect throw. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Apparition Posted January 15, 2018 Share Posted January 15, 2018 Eagles/Falcons was worse than Pats/Titans because at least one of the teams in the latter looked competent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you for dispelling this often-uttered nonsense. AFC East has been one of the strongest-performing divisions of the past couple decades, when you look at W-L outside of the division.

Yeah, Eagles defense definitely looked incompetent. You'd think a Pats fan of all people would know the Eagles have the formula for being a dangerous playoff team. If you can consistently rush the passer successfully with 4, you have a chance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Eagles defense was fine, but you can't tell me they weren't helped out considerably by Sarkisian's awful play calling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
