NFL Week 14: What Have We Learned?

[BrehWyatt]

Would love to see Buffalo with some offensive balance/a Pro Bowl RB that they can trust. CMC would fit this team perfectly. Alas.

San Francisco under Shanahan would be in the playoffs every year if they could stay healthy.

Parsons locked up DROY a long time ago. DPOY is next on the list and frankly he should be favored to win it, despite TJ Watt's dominance. Mostly because as best I can tell, what Parsons is doing is ESSENTIAL to Dallas' success on defense. Watt appears to be dominating all for naught.

Buffalo is done. Their defense can't be trusted against elite offenses/rushing attacks.

Chargers could legit win the Super Bowl with a better defense.

Trevor Lawrence is having a tough year, but I don't know if the current talent/lack thereof at WR/TE fits his skill set. However, Shenault is being wasted.

Despite the loss, Ron Rivera is one of the best coaches in the league. They're a strong offensive draft away from something legit.

He's got a knee issue, but even before that he just looks slow now. Pollard should be their RB1. It just looks different when he runs the ball.

I wouldn't go that far.

Outside of speed, I don't think there's anything Pollard does that is outright better than Zeke, but the breakaway element Pollard provides does help Dallas a good deal.

All that said, Zeke isn't as fast as he used to be, but is still producing like a top-10 RB in this league and his current year's stats are right in line with what he's always done, which is average around 4.5 yards a carry and punish defenses on his way to 10+ TD and -- assuming an uptick in carries -- 1,000+ yards.

Only thing is that it doesn't look all that great because Dallas is moving more toward the pass and prime Zeke was whooping ass with a higher workload that most backs, I.E. the Derrick Henry effect.

Moral victories are for suckers, but man, the Ravens showed me something yesterday. Would’ve been so easy to just fold at halftime, especially after losing Lamar, and yet they made the Browns earn it. John Harbaugh has a decent national rep, but gets pretty beaten up on by the locals. One thing about him, though - his teams never quit. Respect for that.

Glad I took KC +1050 last month, seeing as they’re now down to +525 and probably going lower. BTW, WTH were the Raiders thinking with that logo dance? Of all the opponents to agitate…

I forgot I also took a $20 flier on SF +1100 back in September. Hard to see for a while there and still is, but if you squint you might be able to see a path for them if (big if) everything breaks just right…

I was at Tony Romo for calling the Bills a “complete team.” Can’t run the ball (unless it's the QB) and can’t stop the run.

Wonder if Matt Rhule'll regret not getting in on this season's CFB coaching carousel. Doesn’t seem happy/comfortable in Charlotte.

None of these teams are good

will be a wild playoffs

Super bowl on some chargers vs disfunctional franchise Washington football team shyt

Brady or Rodgers will go to the Superbowl. I can't call the AFC at all, could be the Chiefs or Colts who tf knows at this point.

 

[RubioTheCruel]

I swear everyone with this Tony Pollard shyt

Nobody is game planning for that dude and I doubt he can be an every down back

Most teams use a running back by committee now. Zeke is only 26 but looks old and slow(even before his knee injury).

Pollard has done nothing but prove why he needs more touches, not less.

No Most teams use that committee when they don’t have a horse..

Pollard is not a workhouse

Pollard is not a workhouse

And Zeke is? They're basically doing a 60/40 carry split now between he and Pollard. They just need to flip that ratio where Pollard gets the 60%. It'd probably help Zeke too, let him bully a tired defense later in the games

Cmon man Zeke is a workhorse he has already shown that he can carry it 350 times and he was fine this year until he got hurt. If he’s healthy he should carry it about 290-300 times..

And nobody is game planning for Pollard he’s a change of pace back he can’t carry the load

The defense won't get tired if Pollard goes out there and gashes them. They'll be frustrated, but the drives will be over quickly. If anything you let Zeke soften them up and then hit 'em with the Pollard home run.

Brady is really 36 years old look at his Birth Cert

 

[I AM WE ARE]

Brady is really 36 years old look at his Birth Cert

Brady and the refs are going to win another super bowl this season

I swear everyone with this Tony Pollard shyt

Nobody is game planning for that dude and I doubt he can be an every down back

Nobody game planning for a running back who can break off 50 yard touchdown runs and 100 yard kickoff returns and averages over 5 yards a carry

You doubt Pollard can be an every down back but Zeke can't even out rush Corey fukking Clement against a second string defensive line

Tony Pollard can't be an every down back but if you put money on Zeke rushing for over 50 yards you going to lose that bet once every 2 weeks

Washington Football Team needs a QB, bad. Riverboat needs to tank.

I'm not tanking till next year for Bryce Young....or maybe they need to tank now and move up for Kenny P from Pitt.

Have you seen Zeke play football at all in the last 7 games? He not "softening" anybody up breh. He runs to the line of scrimmage and falls on the ground. This aint 2018 breh. The running back who came into the league trucking the legion of boom...that dude gone and he aint coming back.

Pollard needs to be the feature back, Clement can spell Pollard. Zeke can just go play somewhere else. Just make the nikka a tight end now. Dallas is effectively paying him 15 million a year to "pick up the blitz"

 

[Rekkapryde]

Henry Ruggs' absence is definitely missed by the Raiders' offense.

he got other things to worry about

 

[Rekkapryde]

man had a dinosaur tv

shyt ain't even worth 5 dollars. clout chasing clown.

got a million hits so it worked I guess.
