2016 NFL Week 16

[Don Wassall]

Zenner eating up huge chunks of yardage yet is ignored four straight times from the one yard line

 

[FashAnonymous]

Yeah Don I couldn't believe it myself.

 

[white lightning]

ZZ Tops is on fire! Way to go Zenner.

 

[Tannehill17]

Zenner with another TD!

 

[FashAnonymous]

Good thing they didn't give him the ball at the one on the previous drive!!

 

[Don Wassall]

This is the best week of the season. Thielen with a 202 yard 2 TD game, Jordy with another great game, Travis Kelce in beast mode and Greg Olsen reaching 1,000 yards again, and now Zach Zenner finally getting a real opportunity to show what he can do!

 

[Tannehill17]

Derek Carr goes out with a leg injury.....maybe a broken ankle. Why was he playing with 10 minutes left and a 19 point lead

What I don't understand is why don't the Raiders put in Connor Cook? I really liked him a lot coming out of Michigan State, yet he slid to the 4th round in the draft. He has to have more upside than Matt McGloin and if a limited QB like Dak Prescott can win in Dallas, I don't see why the Raiders can't do the same with Cook in there, especially since he was a much better prospect coming out of college than Prescott was.

Hope it carries into next year. I remember Janis doing great for the Packers in the playoffs last year, catching the game tying hail mary td and look what they did to thank him.

 

[MrPoon]

Yeah. Then they'd seriously have to start him next year. Too much pressure.

I think they're looking to the playoffs. McGloin has some NFL experience and Cook has none.

That would really be the only reason I guess. Changing gears towards the Cowboys, it really makes me sick how they've phased out Tony Romo in favor of Prescott. To me, this is Smith/Kaepernick part 2 and I predict it will have the same outcome. The team falls in love with their shiny new black quarterback where as the guy who's busted his ass for the last 10 years or so is pushed aside like a piece of sh*t. Prescott will have a similar career trajectory to that of Kaepernick. Good for a few seasons, then gets figured out and flames out of the league.

The lead story on NFL.com is titled 'Pure Zenner'......

Zenner looking good tonight. Refs are in Jerry Jones pocket imo, good game so far though.

 

[celticdb15]

DB Heath is getting a lot of playing time tonight and I've seen him make a few nice open field tackles. Still a young guy but I like his size and intangibles.

Stafford is battling with Dak!

You mean Prescott is battling with Stafford...right

 

[MrPoon]

Hopefully my Eagles can grab Zenner from the Lions somehow next year. Anazing this guy is not starting on so many teams. Had to wait out injuries from 3 guys who average less than 3 ypc.

 

[MrPoon]

Sideline commentary citing Cowboy injuries for the reason the Lions are running successfully.

 

[sprintstar]

Stafford making bad reads now and poor throwing choices, hopefully he settles down...Zenner with the hold cuz Stafford took to long to get rid of the ball..

 

[MrPoon]

So now Washington is in? WTH?

 

[MrPoon]

Wow. Body slamming while tackling a running back ....so tackling hard...is a penalty? Refs are a joke. Cowboys get so many gifts.

I like that McDonough and Gruden call out crap like this, perhaps the only broadcasting duo that will.

 

[Don Wassall]

I'll be surprised if Prescott is a flash in the pan. The thing that separates Prescott and Russell Wilson from many other black QBs is they have the smarts to play the position successfully. Both look to be roughly half Euro, which undoubtedly plays a big factor.

 

[MrPoon]

What a shame. Zenner would have easily had 100 plus tonight if the passing game would do anything!

Sure, but the media will never say "Dak gets that innate IQ from his European heritage. Its why he is so successful at this early stage of his career."

Thank God for Caste Football, where there are no taboos.
