Football2016-2017 season (Page 6 of 8)

You are right about winning against the 4ers

It was a real slug fest in the windy city but the pack never gave up and pulled it out in the last minute

The Packers look like they're heating up at just the right time.   And perhaps you haven't heard, but  I'll take a gimpy legged Aaron Rodgers over pretty much anyone. 

Since Detroit lost, Seattle is now in the #2 seed spot behind Dallas (clinched the #1 spot), which means if they win out they'll get a bye and a home game.  Which they're gonna need because they've been terrible on the road.

The line on the Peach Bowl seems to be holding steady at -16 for Alabama, which means all the suckers have placed their bets.

We got 1 more win today. Green Bay looked awesome.

I agree Jerome. I thnk carr may have some injurys now.

Carr is having surgery today on his broken leg.  He might make it back in time for OTAs next year.   I don't even know who the Raiders' backup is, but Carr is a young superstar in the making, and it's tough to replace those kinds of people.

Rex Ryan got fired this morning.   They're putting Tyrod Taylor on the bench so he doesn't get injured, so they can cut him after the end of the season.    I'd like to see what he can do in an organization that isn't a disaster. 

Stealers vs pats sounds like basketball scoring. Seahawks will get a win playing 49ers.

Pat's looking good to me....

I don't know what Pete was thinking when he pulled his starters in the 4th.  The Seahawks are already stumbling into the playoffs, slipping from the #2 to the #3 seed when they choked on Arizona.   If they had lost to the 49ers, they would have slipped to #4 and instead of seeing Detroit at home, they'd be on the road to Green Bay.

In college ball, my Huskies went out and put on a pretty good show against Alabama.  The Dawgs defense held Alabama's offense mostly in check (320 total yards and 17 points) but that Alabama defense was as good (or better) as advertised, and managed to stymie the Huskies offense and score a bunch of points on their own.    Big plays decided the game, and Alabama made them.    27-7 final.

The other semi-final game went like I though:  A blowout, but it was Clemson embarrassing Ohio State rather than the other way around like I had predicted.  I don't know if that means Ohio State wasn't that good or if Clemson really was that good, but  Alabama will let us know when Clemson plays them for the national championship. 

The Big 10 did not fare well in bowl season.  Along with the Buckeyes getting killed, Michigan lost to Florida State, and Big 10 champion Penn State lost a doozy to USC in the Rose Bowl.

They need a new team!!

I'm hoping for a SeaHawks - Steelers Superbowl - I can't lose - my two faves !!

Of all the match-ups I'd like to see the 'Hawks in the Superbowl with, this is the one that least interests me.  And it's nothing against the Steelers.  That would be a great game. 

It's because if it is a rematch of Superbowl XL, then I'm going to have to listen to every whiner in the universe cry about officiating and getting robbed! (With no mention of all those dropped passes) and I don't think I could handle that.
