2016/2017 NFL Week 17
- Thread starter icsept
- Start date
Bradford throwing the ball to everyone except Thielen
I don't get it, Rudolph is getting targeted tons and having a great game but Thielen not involved at all.
Maybe the opposing team have clamped down on him.

I doubt that's what's going on, but that will be the narrative..

Miami DBs going out of their way to rough up Edelman. Maybe they think he's too uppity. One play after one of them adding some extra on a tackle he burns them on a 77 yarder. Sweet.
Great block by Floyd (as Westside has noted) helped spring him.

Notice how black players get all white like in their playing style when they get to the Patriots. Look at how well behaved Lagarette Blount has become.
Why is Edelman returning punts? Why overuse your number one receiver in a fairly meaningless game? Isn't there some guy on the bench that could be using the reps?
Osweiler in for Savage and playing pretty well. Matt Barkley playing well again -- except he's thrown 2 more picks. This may be the best chance he ever gets to become a starter, he just needs some more experience, but it won't be surprising if the Bears draft or sign a QB and let Matt go back to being a backup. The picks are killing his chances.
And no matter how disinterested Baltimore may be in the game, you know the Ravens' defensive players are very very interested in tackling Rex.

It looks like EJ Manuel was benched in favor of Cardale "I aint come to play school" Jones. Hopefully this means the end of Manuel as a Bill
Stefon Diggs also had a shot at 1,000 yards and was on track to play today but was scratched. So if Thielen "inexplicably" can't get open today enough to get 40 yards after being uncoverable in recent games, my guess is that it's being done to "keep up morale in the locker room."
Barkley benched after fumbling.

There are 25 White quarterbacks starting today. We may not see that number again.

Burkhead does it. Great for him and for the cause!! Good day with Edelman torching miami all day long too!
Brady has to get mvp, ill take Ryan winning it but if one of the cowboys gets it how undeserved!

Congrats to Rex Burkhead for breaking 100 yards. This guy is an every down back and in a fair
world he would have been the starter for the last 3 years. I really hope he leaves for another team
unless they expand his role. Not sure of his contract situation though. Just happy he proved his
worth the last few weeks which he could do all season long if they would only play him more!
