NFL '16 Season Thread

[Straight Shooter]

Congrats Broncos. The offseason begins now

 

[Jack Davenport]

Go Carolina Panthers!

Fuck the Deflateriots!

 

[Ace Boobtoucher]

Denver already did that to them two weeks ago. Brady and Newton are probably both still pissing blood.

 

[The Yak]

Here's one they told at work:

What did Peyton Manning say to Cam Newton after the Super Bowl?
Sorry I ruined your black panther party.


Still can't laugh about it. I think this offseason might be a long one.

 

[Jack Davenport]

I think we can be very good, or we could suck donkey balls. No middle ground.

And by donkey balls, I mean not winning it all.

Could see Carolina being good again as they are young.
The Broncos were extremely fortunate this year health wise and it would shock me greatly if that can happen again.
The Patriots will get healthy and as long as they have Tom Brady they are contenders.
If the Seahawks can get Rawls back healthy and upgrade the O line they will be in the title picture again.
As always in the NFL it's all about healthy.

Seahawks. This past season has shown what Russell Wilson can do when the offense revolves around him. Watch that offense light it up through the air next season.

Bolster that line though.

I have nothing substantive to add at the moment I'm just moving this thread to the top so that the NFL '15 Season Thread will die.

You know, this whole "you need to spread reputation around" bullshit really nibbles my sack when it comes to you. Seriously. There are very few people who receive routine rep from me, especially enough to where I actually am NOT ALLOWED to give that person any more until I give others some rep, but you seem to constantly be the one who always ends up giving me that same old bullshit "you must..." message.

You are a dirty, raw son of a bitch. And I love you for it.

I am a long time Broncos fan. We got every single break this season. Pats and Packers come to Denver unbeaten - don't leave that way, Bungals - all in Denver and Denver wins them all. If these 3 are on the road Broncos lost at least 2.

Pats have no one but themselves to blame for how the season ended. If they beat Miami in Week 17 (and they should have) the AFC Champ Game is in MA not CO and Pats win and Pats repeat. You lose to Miami - you don't deserve HFA in AFC

Broncos have the better chance to go back to the SB because I just don't trust the Panthers - they have a "one hit wonder" feel to them and the NFC will be a brutal minefield in 2016 and I doubt they get close to going back. I don't think Denver does, either but when you play defense - you can win championships.

And who's part of the cool kids club.

 

[The Yak]

Well, franchise tags have been handed out. Josh Norman, Von Miller and Kirk Cousins among those receiving the tag. The offseason marches ever onward.

 

[The Yak]

Also a dangerous time of year for aging veterans: Charles Johnson, Arian Foster, Roddy White, others released.

 

[panther]

Jared Allen did the smart thing...just retire.

 

[Jack Davenport]

Panthers re-sign Charles Johnson and Mike Tolbert.

Super Bowl rematch to open the season:

Rams trade up to #1

[Jack Davenport]

It's not a rematch unless they meet in the Super Bowl.

The Packers played the Chiefs last year too. I guess that was a rematch of sorts.

 

[sean miguel]

Jared Goff to the Rams is all but a done deal.

Now for the uniform change which isn't gonna happen til 2019 apparently (thanks NFL).

 

[The Yak]

Eagles have traded with the Browns and now have the 2nd pick. Likely to pick whichever of the top 2 QBs that the Rams don't.

In a move that nobody saw coming, the Panthers rescind franchise tag from Josh Norman making him an unrestricted free agent. Seems he already has several teams vying for his services. I knew they weren't going to get a long term deal done but at least let him play on the tag and keep him for a year. Oh well. In Gettleman we trust.

I think it might be a smarter move than people realize. Isn't Norman almost 29 already? While people age better now than they did in the past signing him is still more risky than people seem to realize, especially since it seems last year was his first real year of being elite and one of the best corners in the game. Maybe he really did turn the corner and will be that good for years to come, but I don't know if I would bet the farm on it, and I'm sure he asking for a gigantic paycheck.
