Re: NFL 2017 season
Any Dallas game is Dallas centered. Denver is right there in terms of popularity, so it should be more balanced, though. Dallas, New England, and Denver make up a huge chunk of NFL fans.Headhunter wrote:Trev has made a noticeable leap, they're running the ball at will and McCoy's play calling has been amazing. It's a fun player friendly offense. Defensively, Roby looks even better, the defensive line is stout as fuck (Gotsis looks like Wolfe at times), they're more unpredictable and they're hunting for splash plays again. And the whole team has a winning swagger. During the lightning delay, the Cowboys spent the period diving into the game plan, meticulously trying to fix things. The Broncos turned on the TVs for the other games, played music and danced. And then proceeded to continue serving that ass whooping for three more quarters.
And yet the narrative nationally is "what's wrong with the Cowboys". I love it. The franchise never gets national respect and I want that chip there the whole season. This team is really good. Vance and his staff have been phenomenal.
Also, going into Denver is never easy. They should be favored over anyone they would normally be within a TD of on a neutral field.

Re: NFL 2017 season
The national disrespect is a real thing with the Broncos franchise. They are statistically the most underrepresented team in the Hall of Fame by any win/Hall of Famer metric you can create.Foo wrote:Any Dallas game is Dallas centered.

Denver is unbeatable at home in September. Has been for a long time.

Re: NFL 2017 season
And while Denver probably has the second largest regional base behind the Cowboys, none of the top media markets in the country are represented in that region. It should be the legacy of success that elevates them above their market like the Packers though, yet it never seems to be the case.

Re: NFL 2017 season
The Colorado fans are underappreciated, too. The Broncos are the only team to sell out every single home game since the AFL-NFL merger. That includes the Packers fans, where there is absolutely nothing but fuck all to do outside of going to a Packers game.
The Broncos are also the only NFL team left who has not been shut out at home (knockonwood).

Re: NFL 2017 season
Start the countdown until the Rams and Chargers leave L.A. for somewhere people actually pay to watch them play. May I suggest St. Ĺouis and San Diego
Re: NFL 2017 season
Southern California is the ultimate sports bandwagon, Tigg. They have whined for years about not having a football team, and now that they have two they can't even sell 100 tickets. The problem is the teams are not Super Bowl contenders. The stadiums will continue to struggle selling tickets until they're one of the best teams in the league. Until then, there are plenty of Pats/Seahawks fans down here who will gladly switch when they start losing and the L.A. teams start winning.

When they leave and they will this should be L.A.'s last ever chance. Las Vegas is another shitty choice that will backfire.Jason wrote:Southern California is the ultimate sports bandwagon, Tigg.

Re: NFL 2017 season
A lot of black peoples in the audience didn’t stand either. Plus 1/4 of the Ravens and the Jags didn’t. But they all stood for God Save The Queen. Was really classy and showed great purpose and heart. Was impressed.Reign in Blood wrote:I guess today's the day all NFL teams decide to lose their fucking minds with this attention whoring non-sense.

Bortles and the Jag-offs looked pretty good, but not raping the Ravens by damn near 50-0. Bloodbath.

Re: NFL 2017 season
Indeed, always had a soft spot for them. This was just vultures feasting on a carcass. Even joked “bet we fumble” just as that happened. Was not a pleasant scene. Had to laugh in the end at the sheer futility.Reign in Blood wrote:I had momentarily forgot the Ravens are your #2.

Re: NFL 2017 season
Well my friend, I've had to experience that in the fucking Superbowl with my only team (there is no #2) numerous times (though all but 1 were retrospective), the tears of a clown are very real. :cry:showa58taro wrote:Indeed, always had a soft spot for them.

Re: NFL 2017 season
Sanders catches ball, takes 5 steps, ball comes loose slightly, incomplete. Refs then proceed to hand the game to Buffalo on one of the worst unsportsmanlike conduct penalties in history.
Football is a laughing stock. I'm out.

Re: NFL 2017 season
Eh, I'm okay with that loss. Can't leak field goal after field goal on the road like that. Tyrod just made some plays, Justin Simmons continues to make mistakes in coverage and Siemian unraveled under pressure in a hostile environment. Cue the overreaction but Buffalo on the road is always a nightmare, they mostly hung tough. They'll be fine.
