NFL Discussion Thread - Hall of Fame Game: August 3rd

[mackmittenzz]

When I played football my coach said the first 1 too smack number 84 gets to be captain, needless to say I smacked number 84
This is the same thing....

Sherman and Browner locked up Niners receivers Kyle Williams, Michael Crabtree and Randy Moss, taking some liberties within the five yards of the line of scrimmage where contact is permissible.

"I wouldn't use the words, 'locked up,'" Harbaugh said Friday, via CSNBayArea.com. "We'll take that up with the officials (NFL office) and get their view of it."

This afternoon...


...but last week it was this:

"Kevin Gilbride's outrageous, irrational statement regarding Justin Smith's play is, first, an absurd analogy," Harbaugh said. "Second, it is an incendiary comment targeting one of the truly exemplary players in this league. It's obvious that the Giants coaching staff's sole purpose is to use their high visibility to both criticize and influence officiating."

Oh, ok....

^ I was at the game yesterday and noticed that those 2 CBs get away with a ton of extra stuff, a lot of which is away from the field of play. But I love physical football games so as long as they call it even both ways, Im not going to complain. Dont recall a single PI, holding, or illegal contact penalty on either team.

The Dolphins aren't a bad team...their offensive and defensive line is solid. The only thing they lack is skill players lol.

Definitely, I'm surprised Jim wouldn't love that type of play. I certainly do, give the DBs a chance

 

[6 Rings G.O.A.T.]

Tampa Bay need to beat New Orleans on Sunday..

 

[knightlovesqueen]

he took a habitual 6-10 team to 13-3 NFC Chip 1 play from SB in his first year with the same team. dismiss yourself

Da hell bro. I just gave him props.

However, as a 9ers fan you should expect a superbowl.

U really gonna be ok w/ just a trip to the NFC chip????

Thats all great the team went 13-3, but let me tell u a story about this one team that my Giants also beat.

They went undefeated up until the superbowl and then lost.

Its greta and I wont take away anything from their succes or the 9ers success.

but if you aint first...

dismiss myself????

shouldnt you be arguing with the texans fans or something.

Unless you wanna have a spirited debate on how my Gmen own your team I'm done.

Fans getting sassy even when their team isnt being ripped on

Gawd!

Richard Sherman is from the Charles Woodson school of mugging the WR 5 yards past the LOS. Dude gets away w/ murder out there.

Whole lot of regular going on in these top 10s....

 

[tripda6]

@ that list...

I counted 10 players that lived up to their draft pick....

Thats being generous

 

[MON5T3R]

^Its always the same bad teams missing on bad players so it doesnt even surprise me that much.

 

[mmg]

thats 2007 draft i wanted no parts of Okoye

 

[ag 47]

that 2007 draft.....that's that **** I don't like

 

[Peep Game]

Ugggggh, Okoye. Every time he didn't step up, all you heard was "He's 19, he has plenty of time." "He's young, he's young, he's young." He's a complementary player at best. The 3rd or 4th guy you add to some studs or something.

 

[buc em]

Is Okoye even on a roster right now? I know we cut him before the season started.

 

[Maximus Meridius]

That 06 draft had so much potential.

 

[primetime21]

Okoye plays for the bears

 

[kevin cleveland]

Yeah. He's probably the fourth or fifth best defensive lineman on a really talented unit. The Bears rotate them a lot.

 

[Peep Game]

Patrick Willis, Darrelle Revis, Adam Carriker, Lamar Woodley and Lawrence TImmons are just a handful of guys who came after Okoye

 

[Kimchi Papi]

Saban to the Browns rumors starting...

 

[illoquent aka dsk]

And they should end right there.

Nick Saban ain't leaving Alabama to go coach the Browns.

 

[do work son]

i'm glad the drafts were brought up. i've always wondered this, but why are teams so hesitant to trade first rounders. the draft has been and always will be hit and miss. a couple of years ago i wanted the texans to trade a 1st round pick for julius peppers to go alongside mario williams in a 4-3. my reasoning was that, what are the odds that a 1st round pick is going to equal the production of julius peppers? trading a guess at potential for a proven NFL player.
