2019 NFL Discussion Thread: StaXX talking to himself

[651akathepaul]

This reminded me of something that really bothers me. People who say I’d rather lose to get a better pick when you haven’t been eliminated.

Who cares how ugly it’s gotta be. All that matters is getting in. And if you’re in you’re in baby.

I don't agree with wanting to lose, period. You're right though...Even the Giants are technically still in this and if they had tanked, even just 1 game, it may have costed them the playoffs...You just never know.

 

[Peep Game]

Kirk Cousins....sheeeeesh

I have my doubts that the Vikings even beat Miami.

At home? And Miami with a potential let down game plus the travel?

The @Det game is much tougher, even though Detroit sucks. They've played well at home all year basically plus it's a divisional game.

 

[second2nonee]

Feel like it's been a while since we played at noon. No more primetime games on the schedule

Turnt bout to thrive

Dolphins could be riding high with confidence after keeping their season alive with that miracle

Yeah.. don't see it. They're way more due for a letdown game. And they have a huge difference in road/home splits, plus Tanny's hurt. But we'll see. I hope they win.

packers still alive with that viking loss?

 

[second2nonee]

packers still alive with that viking loss?

Yep. Someone posted a scenario in here earlier.

Gotta win out

Need eagles and panthers and skins to lose at least one game
and Vikings to lose at least 2

something like that

 

[651akathepaul]

packers still alive with that viking loss?

The Giants are still alive, so yeah.

It’s seriously looking like an 8-win team takes the last WC spot.

 

[Clyde Frog]

Realistically I don’t see Vikings losing to dolphins but it’s far from a gimmie

 

[Clyde Frog]

packers still alive with that viking loss?

Literally everyone they needed to lose this week lost. So somehow yes lol. Vikings need to lose 2 of 3.

This makes the cards loss soooo frustrating

im banking on det and chicago (if they have something to play for) doing their job. that chicago game could very well be a primetime game flex too if it's not already.

pack need to take care of business first. i already gave up though but a win next week might do something...

 

[DeadsetAce]

interesting...should be a fun final 3 weeks

 

[IATT]

 

[651akathepaul]

Vikings haven’t beat a team with a winning record yet...Dolphins have a winning record.

After the last few weeks, I’m just very pessimistic about anything resembling a game labeled as a “should win.” Even though I’m still relatively optimistic about them making the playoffs.

 

[651akathepaul]

I think at this point each team in the hunt has one of those. Cardinals for Packers, Bills for Vikings.

I don't know what to make of this season for Mahomes yet.

yeah but who knows if we would've beat the falcons with mccarthy? they've had his number past couple years and came out with pride the past week after the embarrassing loss and subsequent firing.

the vikings tie that should've been a win was a more frustrating. big swing of games there with a divisional foe. oh well

 

[651akathepaul]

Looks like we're at that point in the season where we get Saturday games.

 

[IATT]

Dude about to double up a Alex smith type season.. shh with TDs he's about to triple the typical Alex smith season

Yes, but in the context of the 2018 NFL, what does that mean? We all know he's talented, but this season is different. How much of the combination is new rules + his talent? There's a mix of both in there and he's still playing off of a relatively small sample size. He looks like another "next" great, but 50 TD's going forward could be more commonplace. It's just hard for me to tell what it is at the moment except for one, really great season.

 

[651akathepaul]

nick. who is Kurt Cousins?

 

[va757va]

Eagles don't have much of a chance. Must win game in LA against a Rams team looking to get last night's taste out of their mouths. They'll probably get smoked. Dak had a career day so who knows what the Rams (with an actually competent qb and coaching) will do.

In 2 combined games vs Philly:

Completed 75% of his passes (68 of 90)
725 yards
4 TDs and 2 picks

Seems pretty competent when he plays the Eagles...

Not to add what Zeke and Coop did to y’all...sit down...be humble...

 

[Nike Jordan]

sit down...be humble

The joke's going to be on you when Dak gets that new contract and they'll be stuck with his ***.
