Arena The Official NFL Discussion Thread (Now Featuring Time's Person of the Year, Taylor Swift!)

To be fair he's throwing to guys picked up from like a carwash as WRs at this point

 

After last weeks game Rodgers said he’d rather get wins at this point, stats no longer matter

 

Note for NFL defenses: if you want a ball carrier to score, instead of getting out of their way, try to force them into the end zone. Push them forward or pick them up and carry them.

Also I’m all in on Detroit vs Everybody.

 

Wow, Detroit got screwed, between the zebras trying to hand Dallas a win and succeeding in handing Green Bay one, it's been a terrible week of officiating, and big surprise that the two teams that got the calls are the two teams that always get the calls.

 

You’re right the Packers get the calls like the Fail Mary, the Jerry Rice fumble and numerous “roughing the passer” calls on Clay Matthews last year

 

To be fair, the Fail Mary was with scrub refs, and not the regular refs.

 

That was terrible. I'm sick of all the ridiculous penalties around the game.

 

XFL Draft.

 

I looked up the LA Wildcats draft, and they were assigned Luis Perez. Yay!

 

Marcus Peters traded to Ravens, who are desperate for bodies. Crazy to see such a talented player traded twice already. Gives up too many big plays. I think he can be an elite CB if he’s in the right system.

The Panthers are in a difficult position. I’ve never been high on Cam, but if he’s fully healthy, he has more upside than Allen. He can just do more. Cam can get you to the Super Bowl. Does anyone really think Allen can get you to the Super Bowl if he isn’t dragged there by McCaffrey and the defense?

Cam has one more year on his contract. For now, I’d give him a chance to play it out. If he stinks, you can go back to Allen and trade/cut Cam.

 

I considered those points myself and went back and forth on them, but you’re probably right. You don’t just come back 100% from a Lisfranc injury this quickly. And if Cam doesn’t have his full mobility and he’s throwing off a bad foot, Allen is the better option.

My initial thoughts were they should stick with Allen because they were winning games, but I didn’t consider the extra potential Cam brings. That potential doesn’t matter if Cam isn’t healthy enough to reach it.

I don’t think Cam will handle being benched well. He might make a circus out of it. Fans will be clamoring for Cam if Allen doesn’t cut the fumbles.

 

Well, that ends that saga.

 

That's too steep a price for the Chiefs. I wanted him but not that bad. But good for you Tunes.

 

May not be the Dodgers in a playoff chase, but I'd say you got a pretty good birthday present Tunes.

 

Very interesting. Phillips prefers man, but Peters is better in zone. Ramsey prefers man, Jags play more zone than Rams. Seems like a perfect fit.

Rams do not hesitate to make trades, but they’ve given up a lot of picks. I think all those lost picks will come back to bite them soon.

They’re probably going to have to eat a lot of dead money on Gurley, and maybe Cooks, too.

Whitworth, Weddle, and Talib are getting old, with few picks to replace them. LT is a difficult and expensive position to replace. Weddle and Talib, not as much.
