Teams That Did & Did Not Show In 2017


King Colt

The AFC is loaded with major disappointments for 2017 while the NFC has several teams that may face New England or Pittsburgh in February. The Raiders are the biggest disappointment while the Rams are the biggest surprise winners. Who gets fired and hired in the coming weeks? This could get brutal and fun to watch.

       In the NFC Philly and Carson Wentz came to play this year, looks like the Panthers are back as well, the Saints have come out of nowhere. Atlanta big dissapointment, they currently do not even hold a wild card spot, super bowl hangover at a premium. For the AFC have to say the whole AFC west was suppose to be a power division and all 4 teams including the chiefs look pretty weak right now. Texans also were suppose to be taking a step forward. Props to the Jags and Titans, one of those teams if not both will be going to the playoffs.

 

    I am seeing coaching change in Cin Nyg Cle, Sf and i hope in a that is holy Pagano will be canned for anybody new, i seriously dont even care at this point who they hire as long as Pagano is not on the sidelines any longer for anything but secondary coach.

The Raiders are a case of "If it's not broke, don't fix it." JDR should have kept Bill Musgrave as his OC. Ironically BM is going to face his former team in his fist game as Denver's interim OC after Mike McCoy was fired.

 

Meanwhile every Broncos fan on the planet is probably mad at John Elway for hiring Vance Joseph, who he reportedly had a "man crush" on, instead of someone who has proven to be a natural leader of men everywhere he went.

 

Both conferences have teams that went forward and backward. Look at the Jets, who most people thought were going to pay for the #1 pick. Many people laughed at the player (Muhammed Wilkerson IIRC) who guaranteed six wins. Also, the NFC South is upside down with the Buccaneers being terrible when everyone thought they were on the verge of a return to the postseason.

No way are the 49ers firing Kyle Shanahan after one season. Jed York's goal was to hire a coach and GM who have a great working and personal relationship. They are in it for the long haul. The rumors about Hue Jackson being fired in 2018 are just that right now. It would be a big mistake for the team to give up on him after only two seasons because it is detrimental to the team when they have to keep learning new playbooks, especially young quarterbacks. Of course, the Giants job is guaranteed to be the first one vacated; there are reports swirling Ben McAdoo will not make it to New Year's Eve. He is the only boiling hot coach; the other losers can wait a few more weeks to worry about job security as the media tries to guess who will join McAdoo on the unemployment list.

Pagano should be on the hottest seat out of everyone

I agree about SF and Cleveland. SF is not firing Shanahan and Cleveland should not fire Jackson. However, I don't see the Giants firing McAdoo during the season. That is not the Giants way.

McAdont is pretty bad but I agree, he will get his pink slip at the end of the season much like Chuck will.

Of course the Giants won't fire anyone before the calendar flips to 2018. Jerry Reese probably will be fired too since it is his fault the Giants are practically Odell Beckham and everyone else.

Lol. Yeah, I am not a fan of his.

 

The Giants will clean house at the end of the season. McAdoo and Reese will be gone. Now that they are almost guaranteed not to make the playoffs, the fans want to see what they have in 3rd round pick Davis Webb. However, Eli has his consecutive streak going and management may want to keep that going. I believe that Eli is third on the consecutive game streak for QBs with 171 and first among active players.

 

Btw, did you know that Flacco has a 116 consecutive game streak? I don't know why I perceived him as oft-injured.

Flacco is a tough guy, have always liked him. Ravens might make the Playoffs. I love Eli, well because he is a Manning and he beat the undefeated Patriots haha. McAdont isn't doing him any favors with that Offensive system.

I disagree. The Giants have a lot of good players. Olivier Vernon is a stud. Landon Collins, Snacks Harrison and DRC are very good players. Evan Engram will be a star. I love Sterling Shepard. Those are just guys I can name off the top of my head. I am not a Giants fan.

That can't be, didn't he go on IR a few years ago playing vs the Jeff Fisher led Rams with their D coached by "Bounty" Gregg Williams? I have to check it out.

The Ravens D may get them into the playoffs. They have 3 shutouts this year. The Vikes were fortunate to win that game. Keenum did not have a good game.

That is what I thought but ESPN has an article about him having a 116 game streak. Check it out for yourself:

The article was written in 2015. It did end in 2015 though, just like I said vs the Rams.

That ESPN writer jinxed him because he went on IR a month after that. :)

Eli's streak is actually at 209!

Still 116 was pretty good

 

It sure is. Eli's streak is actually at 209 and is actually 2nd now, ahead of his brother. My friend who is the Giants season ticket holder said that now that Eli has passed his brother, it is time to see Davis Webb. Many of the fans at the game on Sunday felt the same way. They appreciate Eli but realize they have a chance to draft one of the QBs in this draft. If Webb is the real deal, they can draft a different position.

Eli just passed his brother Peyton (pun not intended) for second on the all-time list.

 

Joe Flacco's consecutive game streak ended with a torn knee ligament two years ago. He's also lucky to not miss more time because of his preseason back injury and a concussion.

You have to admit Eli beating the Pats twice in the SB is priceless, once when they were 18-0 looking for perfection. Peyton 3-1 vs Brady too in Title Games, man those Manning's saved us from watching the Pats winning 10 SB's possibly. I am just glad Peyton went out on top and got that 2nd Ring as a starter. Getting Ring #2 validates that he is a great winner because only 11 other QB's have won 2 or more SB's as a starter. Anyone can win 1 but getting #2 proves a lot winning wise. Yeah Eli has won 2 as well but Peyton has 5 League MVP's to his 0. So I would take Peyton's career easily over Eli's now because of the 2nd Ring + the League MVP's. I am hoping Ben Roethlisberger doesn't win his 3rd because he isn't near the QB Peyton was, that would be sad if he had more SB wins. Ben is like Eli though = 0 League MVP's. 

 

-Only Tom Brady (5), Joe Montana (4), Terry Bradshaw (4), and Troy Aikman (3) have won more SB's than Peyton as a starter. So even if someone wanted to go by just SB Rings, Peyton is still a Top 5 QB of all-time because League MVP's is the tiebreaker amongst the 2 Time winners. League MVP is easily the 2nd best thing to win only behind the SB. Winning League MVP means you were voted as the best player or most valuable by the media in the whole league. I just love how Peyton haters are so butt hurt the way he got #2 because Denver's D carried him in the SB haha. Peyton still earned #2 though because he played well vs the Pats. Brock would've never beat the Pats on that type of stage. Too much pressure and BB didn't fear him at all. Brock played well in that Reg Season and beat the Pats actually in the Reg Season but in a Title Game it would've never happened.

Dear God 

   So, are you saying Pagano couldn’t coach the Colts to a winning record with a healthy Luck? Say, 11-5....? Oh yeah, he already has a few times.

   Fans will blame the coach, no matter what. New is not always better

Luck hasn’t been healthy since the beginning of 2015.

90% of the time? Where in God’s name did you come up with that stat? The D is starting to come together and has improved since Ballard has been here.

You’re right; he sometimes makes bad decisions. So does 31 other coaches.

 I’m not saying Pagano is the greatest coach we’ve ever had, but his record is a lot better than other coaches. I just think he gets a lot of unwarranted criticism, considering the circumstances.

    • Do u ever get there is any sense of urgency with Ballard when he speaks bout the team? I hear a lot of I think they should. He just comes across like a guy who feels that he is safe as long as Irsay is the owner. Smooth talker, I guess, and I tire of the soft ball questions from the media. Your team was like at the bottom of the league and that was against horrendous qb play.  Your 2nd round pick corner couldn't stay healthy. Your other corners are late round picks and one coming back from serious injury. I know it's a presser and he can't give it away but man, you would think his defense is just peachy. I honestly think this D needs so much work both schematically and on the talent side. I do think listening to him, he will trade back. I think that the guys that he really covets will be gone or way too expensive. The  top 3 wrs will be gone as will be Bowers. Mitchell is probably not his guy the Dends will go fast. There might be a guy at say 12 but I think he won't pill the trigger and say give  up a 2nd or 3r rounder. 
    • I see most of this forum is fine with Ballard doing what Ballard's always done.   So I'll just remind everybody that he is 54-60-1 and he doesn't have the QB excuse anymore. If he thinks that playing conservative with trading back for more picks and the cap are always the way to go, then I just hope the fan base, and Irsay especially, make no excuses for how those picks work out (and how the top prospects that he didn't make moves for worked out). It's going to be incredibly easy to compare how his strategy works vs what the Texans and Jags have done in FA this year, and it'll be very easy to follow how MHJ,Nabers,Odunze and Bowers perform.
    • MJH does not have elite speed. He didn't even run a 40. Nabors has elite speed but not size. Jones would have been a combination of both of them if u picked out their elite traits. Jones was like Calvin Johnson. Just  absolute freaks of nature that shouldn't be able to do what they do at that size.
    • I think u r missing my point. Pick a player that fits and excels in your scheme. Guys like Nabers and MJH are freaks and r not scheme dependant. Think of the Rams. Kupp is good, but they dipped into the draft and amazingly draft another stud because he fits their scheme and does not have elite triats. It is similar to the way they draft corners. They r typical zone corners. U can let one-way if they want to much as u can go back into the draft and hopefully get another in the 2nd. That is my point.
