Roethlisberger out 4-6 weeks.

:depressed just ship the AFC to New England I guess.

[Avante]

The AFC is sooooooooooooooooo damn weak in 2016 to begin with and now this, sheesh~~~~

Yep, you nailed it shut, the Pats would have probably won it anyway but now there is no drama/mystery at all.....none!

Heading into 2016 Big Ben was ranked...

TD passes...272 #14
Yards....42, 995 #13

If he plays just one more full season he'll be in the top 10 in both.

How can the AFC South even be legal? The Browns couldn't win the CFL. Hmmmmm...ok ok but it would be close.

Cowboys catch another break.

[Avante]

Cowboys catch another break.

Cowboys are the real deal.

Young smart mobile QB.
GREAT...offensive line.
Young legs at RB, a stud.
Hall of Famer to be at TE.
Good enought receivers and there is Dez Bryant.

When ya can run the ball, there sits your D getting a good rest. Which is huge. Yes, not a dominate D in any situation but good enought if the offense is clicking.

An owner who will give his team anything they need.

I think the secondary is top 5... DEs outside of Lawrence who is still recovering from injury, and especially MLB position, remains huge bugaboos in our defense.

the problem with the bills is the albatross above them in their own division.

That's true, but if they can win at home against them next week, look out.

[DD]

Great, this all but guarantees we have to watch Cincinnati waste another playoff spot

[Avante]

Don't sleep on the Bills in the AFC.

I can see that with the current state of the AFC. Looking at their schedule....hmmm?...11-5?

BUT...they aren't beating NE in NE in a playoff game.

[Avante]

That's true, but if they can win at home against them next week, look out.

When was the last time NE was beaten twice by the same team in a season? There is a reason the Pats are 18-3 vs Buffalo since 2006.

2015 with Brady.

NE 40-32
NE 20-13

[DD]

BUT...they aren't beating NE in NE in a playoff game.

Nobody said (or even implied) that they would

I took it as the Bills could possibly be a playoff team. It's up for interpretation, but I seriously doubt he or anyone else on this forum would bet on the Bills to win in New England in the postseason. With that being said, way to go out on a limb and declare that New England (who is 16-3 at home in the playoffs with Brady/Belichick) won't lose to a team that hasn't made the postseason since Clinton was in office. That's bold, bro...very insightful take:tu

Well I could have talked about their Italian connection Babe Parilli passing Gino Cappeletti who was also the Boston Patriots kicker. Or maybe Larry Garron out of Western Illinois, the first stud Pats RB.

Or maybe Elbert "Golden Wheels" Dubenion out of football powerhouse....Blufton, with the Bills. Or maybe their 250 pound fullback who was the first AFLer to have a 1000 yard season.

Be cool little guy, ok?

And who cares about who can make the playoffs if no shot of winning anything?

Yeah, you could have...and it would've held no relevance.

So what? What relevance is telling me what I already know, well?

WE ALREADY KNOW THAT

Then why not sleep on Buffalo then? Who cares who the Pats beat up on, well?

That must hurt, huh? I can't even imagine losing 4 SB's in a row...OUCH~~~ Niner fan here.

I can't take you seriously when you say you're a Niners fan. I don't see HI-FI, Robz4000 and other Niner fans tonguing their rival's asshole at every turn.

btw did you enjoy the game this past sunday?

[UNT Eagles 2016]

Great, this all but guarantees we have to watch Cincinnati waste another playoff spot

nah... cincy is a 8-8 team as I've said all along... AFC North sucks this year and it's about to get really roughed up, especially by the NFC East which is a very good division.

[UNT Eagles 2016]

bills will likely go about 9-7, which could very well be good enough for a WC in the weak AFC

[Avante]

I can't take you seriously when you say you're a Niners fan. I don't see HI-FI (http://www.spurstalk.com/forums/member.php?u=34236), Robz4000 (http://www.spurstalk.com/forums/member.php?u=26403) and other Niner fans tonguing their rival's asshole at every turn.

I don't play this childish fanboy shit, that's for punks ass kids. My team has always been the Niners and will always be the Niners, but being a grown up I keep things real.

I have Niner caps, coasters, books, a binder of nothing but Niner football cards. I can talk about every player of note the Niners have ever had. Remember the great kick returner Abe Woodson, of course not.

BUT...I don't need to act stupid over liking a team.

The Seahawks play my kind of football, they understand what's real, that is run the ball and play D. And I do get a kick of the know nothings running down a guy who is doing things never seen before in Russell Wilson, so I over do that a little because it's funny kicking dummies around.

Rex has already done that before.

All the excuses you made for Alice Smith and the Niners' Super Bowl loss say otherwise.

[Avante]

All the excuses you made for Alice Smith and the Niners' Super Bowl loss say otherwise.

Wrong as usual. You ever see me talking up my Niners, well? Was I disappointed we lost a game we should have won, sure. That;s just being a normal fan. And all I ever said about Smith is he is a middle of the pack QB, because he is.

Dude, have you EVER been right about anything EVER?

[UNT Eagles 2016]

Yup

sorry bro, Bungles suck too... 8-8 ceiling... that entire division sucks... "staggering/hedging" your picks by picking two from the same division ALWAYS seems to backfire, doesn't it?

[DJR210]

Nope, Dalton averages like 15 fantasy points a game, plus DeMarco and my 6th round pick Crabtree are averaging way more than predicted before the season.

[Raven]

really not sure what you guys are sweating about, the league has been about New England and Denver for a while now. The AFC may be unbalanced, but the NFC can't compete with the best in the AFC either.
