NFL 2016 Season Thread

The original argument that Beanclown made was that Bennett was the "new Hernandez". He made that argument at a time when Bennett wasn't being used anything like Hernandez, and he seemed to hope that very simple statistical arguments would bail him out (in his own mind, of course). Now that the stats aren't even bailing him out and he's just doubling down on them?... Well that's just pathetic. Par for the course, though.


(And he also won't acknowledge that Hernandez made his impact on the Patriots right as he came into the league -- not after years of NFL experience. But whatever. Damn the truth. Elect Beanclown!)

Wrong. My argument was that the Patriots traded for Bennett to start using more of the two-tight end offensive set plays that McDaniels ran when Hernandez was on the team....and therefore I was excited about the transaction.

Kind of a head scratcher that you waste so much of your time debating Patriots tight-ends with me. Your life sounds super exciting.

So you think Bennett is going to get 400 yards and 3 tds in the last 4 games? I guess it's possible, but he hasnt been trending up. He has 40 yards in his last 3 games. I think we can all agree the "elite" tag has to come with better consistency than what Bennett has shown.

Bennett is 8th in yards for TE's and tied for 9th in TD's. This is with arguably the best QB in the NFL that has a TE friendly offense. He is more of just a slightly above average offensive TE this season.
No dog in this fight but I think Bennett has been injured for a while.... not certain, but I think he even missed a couple of games entirely.
 
Beantown's first mention of Bennett

Thanks for proving my point.....

Patriots have wanted to go back to the two TE set offense since they lost Hernandez. Chandler didn't work out so they brought in Bennett.

I really don't understand what you're trying to debate.
 
Chiefs beat the Raiders. That's good for the Broncos. If they win on Sunday (@ Titans) then they will be 1 game behind KC and OAK

WR - Julian Edelman
WR - DaVante Adams
WR - Demaryius Thomas

RB - LeVeon Bell
RB - David Johnson

TE - Jordan Reed

K - Adam Vinatieri

DEF - Vikings

BEN - Terelle Pryor
BEN - Marcus Mariota

Don't be sleeping on Tampa, got a 5 game win streak going but have a big test next Sunday night @ Dallas.

Good team.
I'm not even playing this week (1st week of playoffs) cause I finished in 1st place and get a bye.

I don't even understand how I finished in first. I don't think my team is even that good and my #1 pick (gronk) missed a bunch of games early and is done for the year. (I dropped gronk last week and picked up pitta who went off for a bunch of catches and two td's)
Luck
Forte
Jay ajayia (picked him up from the free agent wire when someone thought foster would get all the carries so they dropped him)
Hilton
Edelman
Pitta
Rashad Jennings (traded Matt Jones for him a few weeks ago)
Matt Bryant (at kicker)
I change my defense every week. Pick up whatever defense is going against jax, cleveland, San fran, or whatever is the crappies offense. This strategy has worked perfectly.

Bench: sanu, jordan matthews, Bilal powell, rivers, jaquizz rogers, Marvin jones.

Worried I made a big mistake when I traded Dez bryant for Edelman and jordan matthews.

So far it's been a pretty even trade but Dez is obviously the best player of the three. I needed some depth though.

Right now you look like a genius.

With Gronk out Edelman's usage will go way up.
 
Denver sucked on Sunday. Now they must win out and with their 3 opponents it is unlikely. Sad, 8-5 isn't good enough for Denver and I expect Elway to make some heads roll.

Also that was a damn dirty play by the Titans on Harris Jr. Trying to take out his knee. He better hope some other player in the league doesn't lay him out. Many players don't take kindly to that.

I heard about that play but never saw it.
