For a sec I thought that Metapod had forgotten the Titans, which would be truly incredible

wooger posted:I'm following the nfl seriously for the first time this year, and I've heard stories about the last game or two being very unpredictable as teams rest their best players for the postseason, or else have nothing to play for and may as well tank. Depends on who's playing. There are usually some teams still fighting for playoff position or even a playoff spot. And some coaches will play starters regardless--I think Ron Rivera just said he's gonna play the Panthers' starters through the end of the season, although going for an undefeated year is a special circumstance.

Serotonin posted:Definitely going Falcons. Been watching season highlights this evening, and I'm liking their whole plucky underdog who sometimes play like world beaters then other times like they've never seen a football before. This is definitely my poo poo. The Goatse Dome hasn't opened yet. I think they start this season though.

El Seano posted:So this is my first off-season since I started following the Giants/NFL and Jesus god I thought the NBA off-season was long. I must have read 20 different mock drafts, none of which seem to have the same player twice. It's to the point I wish the loving draft would just happen already and even then we've got another 3 months of waiting. A few questions: quote:4. In terms of drafts should I give too much of a gently caress once they get past the 4th round? I mean I'm yet to see a mock draft that goes past the 4th which I'm taking as a sign nobody really cares. quote:5. It seems a pretty tough thing to watch also. The NBA draft is done in a night (well the meaningful part in a few hours) but the NFL draft goes on for three days? Do you guys watch the whole thing or just watch who your team selects? It used to be the first three rounds on Saturday and last four on Sunday, but the league got greedy.

Also Pittsburgh, Philly, Green Bay. Really most of America is racist so it's easy to find terrible people in every fanbase

Chichevache posted:Yes, kickers angle trajectories for longer punts, but that also increases the chance of a lineman getting a hand up to block it. Pro NFL kickers routinely make shots from 60+ yards in practice. In game situations they rarely go over 50 yards (though it has been increasing rapidly!). Also to answer the question, the longest in history is 64. If you're in Denver with the wind at your back and have a monster leg then in theory you could probably hit from 70, but if it didn't get blocked it would probably miss anyway.

Chichevache posted:Uhhhh.... no. We are getting to the point where we are beginning to expect our kickers to make those shots. I don't think we are at the point where we have 32 guys (96 if you somehow have trouble finding a longsnapper and/or holder) who can reliably make those shots. Maybe I'm spoiled because Jason Hanson was my team's kicker for literally my entire life until he retired a few years ago, and he had range to 56.

El Seano posted:How common is it for a team that was wrecking teams left and right last year in the Carolina Panthers to start out as bad as they have this year? What's gone wrong with them? The Super Bowl loser failing to get back to even the playoffs is actually fairly common, IIRC.

Grittybeard posted:If you want to go waaaaaay the hell back they were a legit dynasty. Think Pats but more dominant, went to 10 straight Championship games between 1946 and 1955, winning 7. In the Super Bowl era it's been rough though, even when they were good they would go out of the playoffs in the most painful ways. The Browns and Lions were the dominant teams of the 50s. One day maybe we can return to that glorious time.

Additionally, Harbaugh is a petty rear end in a top hat who probably saw that Ohio State won 59-0 and wanted to one up them. He went for 2 when up by four touchdowns.

Rent-a-Bot posted:I was discussing football with my friend from Atlanta and I was wondering why have the Atlanta Falcons historically sucked as a football team? Same reasons as anyone else? They've never really been flush with talent or great coaching. They managed to beat one of the best teams of all time to get to a Super Bowl but even then they had Chris Chandler at quarterback.

Ron Jeremy posted:Having not played myself I wondered how the defense was so much more tired for a given amount of play time than the offense. Chasing people and reacting to their motions is more tiring than running a route or blocking assignment

Touchbacks only come out to the 20 in the pros, but yeah in general it's usually the smarter move not to return it. It's also the most dangerous play in football so there have been changes made at all levels to decrease the number of returns. Jameis Winston is considered a pretty good to middling quarterback in the pros. He was extremely good in college.

EvilHawk posted:Thought of something earlier today while listening to some podcasts. I don't think teams necessarily stick 100% to the script. Like if you were planning to run a first down dive play and wound up in a 3rd and 10 situation when it was supposed to come up then the coordinator is going to call a different play.

Ron Jeremy posted:iirc, a sack is a tackle. So if the QB fumbled before being down by the LB, it's not a sack. Although, if the fumble is recovered by the defense, the LB is awarded a sack. Pretty sure it would still be a sack if it was recovered by the offense. But I don't know if you can throw a recovered fumble.
