LOSERS ASSEMBLE IN SMALL GROUPS AND COMPLAIN ABOUT THE COACHES AND OTHER PLAYERS - WEEK TEN 2009

Chicago at San Francisco* → I had more confidence in da Bears, albeit misplaced, before I saw 'Zona stomp them last week. Now I'm confident da Bears will just find ways to lose.
Detroit at Minnesota* → I missed the fun last week. <3 u Brett!
New Orleans* at St. Louis → Close games the last couple weeks were out of character for the Saintses. I expect a four-score blowout this time.
Tampa Bay at Miami* → Tampa Bay finally won a game! Now they'll lose one.
Atlanta* at Carolina → This one will be incredibly close, but also incredibly boring save for a couple crackling runs by DeAngelo Williams and/or Michael Turner.
Jacksonville at New York Jets* → The Jets might have finally fixed their problems, as long as having a bye week didn't make them regress.
Buffalo at Tennessee* → Tennessee have definitely fixed their problems. Sorry, Bills.
Cincinnati* at Pittsburgh → Cincinnati just seems like a team that is playing so far above their level for intangible reasons, and if the Stillers slip up even once the Bengals will take advantage.
Denver* at Washington → Denver. Because... Washington, really?
Kansas City* at Oakland → Kansas City. Because... Oakland, really?
Seattle at Arizona* → 'Zona at home is a riskier prospect than 'Zona on the road, but Seattle losing on the road is an almost sure thing.
Dallas* at Green Bay → Packers are eating dicks this year.
Philadelphia* at San Diego → The only reason I'm picking Iggles here is because they're consistently inconsistent.
New England* at Indianapolis → Colts have gotten pretty exposed the last few games, and the Pats have only looked better.
Baltimore* at Cleveland → What we have here is an opportunity for Jaws and Gruden to get conversational in the booth for three hours. I'm looking forward to it. (Oh yeah, Ravens.)

8-5 in week 9, 88-41 on the season.

thomas davis out for the season; having his best season to date, should be devastating for the panthers

j. puppies was playing with a broken hand this week too so hopefully he will suck

a couple weeks old but damn

In another season or two, the NFL is going to release a dvd of Adrian Peterson's greatest hits and it will sell out immediately.

I'm a little behind the times here, has anyone talked about Tom Cable?????

It seems like they are overcompensating on this. I mean, the things he did twenty years ago were despicable, but why does that mean he needs counseling now? Attacking Randy Hanson seems pretty understandable from what I've heard about Hanson.

i forgot who said this (maybe gabe at videogum - def gabe at videogum) but you'd think that PETA would come up with a different campaign now, like who the hell even wears fur anymore? it's not even a thing!

i'm sure it's a bigger deal in, like, russia and canada

also idk how leather fits into this

uhhhh ws october

not really givin a fuck about the message of the ad tbh

Picking KC and Philly upsets, though I agonized over 3-4 other games.

8-5 last week, 91-38 season.

i'm sure it's a bigger deal in, like, russia and canada

also idk how leather fits into this

footballs = leather so cowhide must be ok i guess

7-6 last week (terrible), 85-44 on the season.

Chicago* at San Francisco - gotta stick with mah boyz
Detroit at Minnesota* - got a sinking feeling that brett favre might win mvp
New Orleans* at St. Louis - only question is what quarter new orleans gets to 40 pts
Tampa Bay at Miami* - tampa might get another win but not this week
Atlanta* at Carolina - carolina is better than their record though, might be a tight one
Jacksonville at New York Jets* - jets kinda suck but still...
Buffalo at Tennessee* - titans just got too many weapons (that is: 1 weapon)
Cincinnati at Pittsburgh* - i feel like this will be very close, not confident
Denver* at Washington - denver will murder washington
Kansas City* at Oakland - kansas city isn't really totally terrible, whereas oakland pretty much is
Seattle at Arizona* - sensing a 4 td game from warner
Dallas at Green Bay* - i think green bay will play some smashmouth football and throw romo off his game
Philadelphia* at San Diego - this could be one of those seemingly even matchups that winds up a philly blowout. or philly could score 9 pts.
New England at Indianapolis* - will pick indy til they lose, which i don't think is this week
Baltimore* at Cleveland - worst coach ever vs a decent squad. 83-0

quinn is getting the start Monday night. this could be the last time the browns are on national TV for a hundred years

LOL (sorry ;_;)

the vikings have played one game against a team that currently has a winning record. which they lost.

YOU SHUT UP

Get new wife.

Chicago at San Francisco – I’m feeling the Bears will bounce back a bit and win, no good reason. I think Chicago just needs to open up the passing attack, start going with some no huddle and try and run up some points. They are still trying to play off the old offensive ideas, which works when you have a D, but the Bears are pretty weak this year on that side of the ball. SF has some bluster, but they are not anything special.
Detroit at Minnesota- It would take a monumental screw-up for the Lions to win on the road against the Vikings. Won’t happen. I am curious on how big the spread might be, as I guess Vegas is getting taken to the cleaners often with so many of these teams being horrible.
New Orleans at St. Louis- See above, even on the road, I can’t see the Saints losing to the Rams. LA could be able to run the ball and maybe make it interesting, but probably not.
Tampa Bay at Miami- I said before that I do like the Dolphins and their schedule eases up. If I’m right, this is the start of them picking up some wins. Bucs won last week, but they still played kind of ugly going by the turnovers in the box score.
Atlanta at Carolina- The Panthers are playing a bit better or at least not letting Delhomme lose games. The Falcons are pretty middling and don’t seem quite as explosive as last year, which makes me suspect them on the road. I’m taking the Falcons, but I don’t feel that good about it.
Jacksonville at New York Jets- The Jags are a sneaky going nowhere 4-4, same as the Jets. Neither club is very consistent, but I would have to lean a bit on the Jets defense maybe being a bit better. I’m feeling Jacksonville in an upset.
Buffalo at Tennessee- I’m not ready to crown a new age of Vincanity, but just the fact that he is a bit mobile has to improve over Collins who was kind of a sitting duck. I’m taking the Titans at home. Some loonie on the NFL network show I watched for a few minutes picked the Titans to end up 8-8. I won’t go that far, but they could beat the Bills who just don’t seem to have much of an identity either way.
Cincinnati at Pittsburgh – Big time game and as much as I want Cinci to kick their ass, I’d have to see it happen this time. When Cowher was the coach, they would lose a bit more at home for a good club, but not as much in the last couple of years I’ll take the Steelers and hope I’m wrong. Hopefully the injuries don’t really start to expose the Bengal’s defense.
Denver at Washington- This is kind of a trap game for the Broncos. I would believe that the Redskins defense could make a valiant stand and keep it close. Broncos are not all that, but they should win.
Kansas City at Oakland- What a mess…I guess I will take Oaktown at home as I feel a Bruce Gradkowski sighting coming.
Seattle at Arizona- AZ has been winning on the road and not winning at home, even when they are good they are not consistent. Seahawks have thumped a couple of rotten clubs, but I’m going to take the Cards to keep their s#@t straight and win a game they should win.
Dallas at Green Bay - Green Bay’s lines are both pretty bad, I’d have to think that Dallas is going to smoke them. You have to wonder what happened to that Packer club from a couple of years ago that was really young and seemed loaded all over the place.
Philadelphia at San Diego – SD seems to have gotten things together except the running game, which might not matter when you play the Eagles, as they don’t run the ball much either. I’m taking the Chargers in a close one.
New England at Indianapolis – I’m wanting to take the Colts, but they are just due to lose one. I’ll take NE and be pissed off about the results either way.
Baltimore at Cleveland- Bmore is not that great on defense anymore, but when you are playing against an offense that couldn’t move the ball in the Big Ten, it doesn’t really matter. Ravens it is.

Last week, mediocre 7-6. For the season, 88-41.

New Orleans at St. Louis- See above, even on the road, I can’t see the Saints losing to the Rams. LA could be able to run the ball and maybe make it interesting, but probably not.

haha, the L.A. Rams? was that intentional?

i'll be rooting super hard for the Bengals to beat the Steelers on the road.

One of those bottom trawlers is eventually going to end up in LA.

if it's buffalo i'll move back to LA

Dear Los Angeles,

Take the Jaguars, please!

(I'll miss you, tho, Mojo Drew)

It's that time of year again when I realize I hate both NFL Network and my cable company for not meeting in the middle so I can watch a football game on Thursday nights. FUCK YA BOTH

glad I will be stuck in class so watching stat tracker will be more productive

damn i thought they finally settled with all the cable companies. or maybe i just stopped paying attention when they settled with mine.

I guess it's on here in SF on channel 44 (the CW) of all places. Not even sure if I get reception for it.

BEREA, Ohio -- Cleveland Browns running back Jamal Lewis said he's frustrated by another losing season and believes coach Eric Mangini is pushing his players too hard.

Lewis, who intends to retire after this season, said Thursday that he doesn't want to be a "babysitter" to Cleveland's younger players. He wants to win and expressed disappointment that two- and three-hour practices aren't translating into wins for the team, which has a 1-7 record.

"There's talent all over this locker room, young and old," he said before practice. "There's talent everywhere, but that talent has got to be ready for Sunday, it's got to be fresh for Sunday. You can work all day, but if you're going to work like that, you're probably not going to get what you want out of your players."

While Lewis doesn't mind working hard, he said Mangini is wearing out his players. The team captain said he hasn't approached his coach about making changes.

"This is his show, not mine," Lewis said. "You got to take care of your crop. If you don't, when it comes time to harvest, you're not going to make no money because the crop is no good. That's that."

Lewis said the length and intensity of Mangini's practices are not the issue, it's that the first-year coach's approach isn't producing wins.

"If I'm going to come out here and work the way I work, then I want results," Lewis said. "Right now, that's not what's going on. I feel like it's just a waste of time for me."

Earlier, Mangini said he has changed his approach and adjusted this season.

Lewis was asked to comment on the coach's stance.

"Next question," he said.

time to sign Larry Johnson. this is a football team that cannot pass defend, tackle, pass or run. stop complaining about having to practice.

when the answer is "sign Larry Johnson", there is no answer

looks like The Who are doing the SB halftime show this year

look, i've been on board for almost all of the dadrock acts they've pushed on us since tittygate (except mccartney fuck that dude), but this just... dang, man. your best dudes are dead as hell dogg. what are you gonna do about that. huh.

suggest ban halftime show

yeah this is straight-up awful. two og members, and a singer who cannot sing.

I always switch to Puppy Bowl at halftime unless Prince is performing, so this doesn't really matter to me.

man, the Who! ugh

BRING BACK PRINCE is what you gotta do

welcome to the autotrader.com PRINCETIME SHOW

it's always PRINCETIME

i never switch to the puppy bowl because its FUCKING BULLSHIT FUCK YOU PUPPIES

More for meeeeee

the vikings have played one game against a team that currently has a winning record. which they lost.

― mookieproof, Wednesday, 11 November 2009 18:57 (Yesterday)

That sound kind of like the Jets start last year. That being said, I do think the Vikings defense is pretty stout.

how did mangini even get hired? i mean, how does someone leave the nyj and obv have something of a reputation and yet.. walks right into another head coach job?

randy lerner + pats mystique imo

Jay Cutler is currently your NFL leader in interceptions.

u_u

chalk up another for Cutler.

this might be the worst 5 minutes of football i've ever seen. was the first half like this?

he might have given up on the season

that was kind of brutal with the ref being there. didn't see that the first time.

yes i hate to admit that an int is not cutler's fault

this game is not very interesting

forgot this was on, really. fuck the nfl network and thursday night football in general

the telecast blows fwiw

and so do the chicago bears

ugh

fire lovie smith

*shoots self in head literally*

i am watching on a stream and glancing at the chat it went from.. uh.. talking about football, to arguing about vick, to racism that people thought was funny, to racism that people thought wasn't funny, to..
'i hate myself for watching this game'

jordan how many points are u gettin for cutler tonite

If the Niners lose this game, I mean...

did anyone deserve to win this game though? i mean, we already lost

It's true, but it takes a special team to lose a game when you're +3 on turnovers, at home.

jordan how many points are u gettin for cutler tonite

funny thing - the trade won't go through until tomorrow & i forgot to take favre out of my lineup for cutler, so he's on my bench tonight. i was originally mad about this because i was forced to pick up josh freeman for my other qb spot but i'm quite please right now

#5

loooooooooooooooooooool

omg

I didn't see it, but I was eyeing stat tracker. lol indeed.

jesus fucking christ

fitting end

god what an AWFUL decision

tell you what, i'm gonna win bigtime this week in i hate the nfl, i can feel it in my bones

so jord how many points did he end up getting on yr bench? (congrats btw--that is v. fortunate for you!)

kyle orton just finished his eight busch ice, laughed uproariously, and crushed the can on his forehead

some1 needs 2 make a cutler int tracker like the arodg sack tracker

lol

5 points

a whopping 58 POINTS in i hate the nfl

wowzers

probably the worst football game i've ever seen

niners defense was worth watching but the rest of it was a disaster

some1 needs 2 make a cutler int tracker like the arodg sack tracker

It would be easy because you only have to show the redzone part of the field.

The first thing Cutler did at the podium was apologize to a huge list of people.

i hope they included his receivers

did he just open a chicago phone book

oldie but goodie

dude always has this look like he's walking up the driveway to tell you he hit your dog with his car

lol dude that is an amazing description

i loled @ this email in simmons' column today

"Andy Reid is a great coach for 3 and a half quarters. In baseball, most starting pitchers do their job really well for most of the game, then need a little help to finish it out. I think you see where I'm going with this. The Eagles need a closer. A coach that they can bring in at the end of close games when they're trailing, or winning by a touchdown or less (save situations). As asinine as this sounds, tell me Eagles fans wouldn't strongly consider it."

Either have the Clock Management Closer come in and stand next to him, or even better, just have Reid actually leave the sideline and head into the locker room like a baseball pitcher. He could even get a standing O on his way out. I would love this. Who wouldn't love this?

i would love this

Green Bay's record since Nov. 2, 2008: 6-11. The six wins? Chicago (twice); Detroit (twice); St. Louis; Cleveland.

jesus...

xpost
as soon as he uses his first 2nd half timeout, ie around two minutes into the 3rd quarter, oompa loompas should come onto the sideline and roll him off to the locker room

aha, that accounts for why i keep imagining that green bay is a better team than they are, that last win over chicago was pretty awesome.

On his Twitter account Friday morning, Ochocinco continued to poke fun at himself by tweeting "Barrack I've just been fined again, can we meet to set up a fun rule please. I can't go to mcdonalds for 2 weeks now."

http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2009/football/nfl/11/11/ochocinco.ap/index.html

Story Highlights
* Chad Ochocinco tweeted that he planned to send mustard to Steelers
* Bengals coach Marvin Lewis told Ochocinco he couldn't do it
* Last week, Ochocinco sent deodorant to the Ravens defense

the mustard thing is kind of a head scratcher. am i being dense?

heinz field, brah

btw lol & <3<3<3 those story highlights

the half-time interview with Ocho was the highlight of last night's game. full thing to air this Sunday if you have the NFL channel, I guess.

lol, maybe if it was ketchup i would've got it.

i think that's the joke--it is not ketchup

lol, yes

ochocinco mailed stars of david to auschwitz, etc

heinz makes mustard too...?

stop being an asshole, forks

before i send some sirloin to your apt

so wait, did he sent deodorant to the Ravens because they smell good? what is going on I am confused

*send

Always a gracious host, Chad Ochocinco sent a special gift for the Ravens ahead of their trip to Cincinnati this Sunday. On 105.7 FM earlier today, Ochocinco said he ordered gift baskets with deodorant to be sent to the Ravens’ secondary as well as Ray Lewis and Ed Reed. According to Ravens Insider:

“I not only sent them gift baskets, but I sent them something they could use so they don’t sweat,” Ochocinco said.

feel free to send all beef my way

This dude is insane:

http://www.fastcompany.com/blog/ken-carbone/yes-less/penalty-nfls-helmets-kick-season-unneccessary-blandness

i dig that skins helmet

yeah, i was confused the 2nd time because heinz also makes mustard. ocho is clearly operating a level beyond my puny powers of comprehension.

This thing is really hard to look at:

http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2453/4090502658_b891488c64.jpg

me 2 - the pats helmet should just be the old pat logo imo

http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/beksmommy/evel_catwalk.jpg

should go for the full uniform revamp

tom brady looking dope in that pic

i like the 'skins helmet but nix the other two

also, why is it so hard for people to figure out that the Browns weren't named after a color. i will pummel, with my perfect golden fists, the next person who refuses to comprehend the sublime beauty of the name Browns

http://i36.tinypic.com/351y4x4.jpg

we need a hatcat compendium

hatpatcat helmet is the way to go

i want to see tom brady come onto the field sunday wearing hatpatcat helmet and a red white and blue leather cape. maybe they could replace the ball in the logo with peyton's severed head.

also re: the mustard thing, ochocinco made a comment on his twitter about how the steelers won't be able to 'ketch-up with me' or something

god it's like you guys dont even read OGOchOCinco... yall make me sick

cutler looks like he's about to tell you that you should also get a new air filter, not just an oil change

also omar i am so sorry for your lots :(

http://sports.popcrunch.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/04/bratty-jay-cutler-traded-to-chicago.jpg

: (

he can look fuckin awesome (cf the first TD pass to olsen last weekend) or horrendous (last night).

pics are making me begin to believe cutler is 1)huffing glue 2)a zombie

he looks like a young, psycho deniro in that last one

Andy Reid is like the Anti-Schottenheimer. That dude would start trying to kill the clock half way through the 3rd quarter. It would end up fxxcking him just as much as Reid's crazy lets throw three in completions and burn 40 seconds while taking a time out for everyone to tie their shoe kind of clock management.

I think a big problem is that the Bears seem to be trying to run the exact offense as they have run for the last few years except with no running game. Cutler needs to quit screwing up, but I think it is not too much to ask to have someone who can snap the ball in a shotgun either. Having to constantly pick the ball up off the rug when throwing a quick slant often leads to mistakes.

Considering their o-line is a bit screwy and yet they have a ton of speed in the skills guys, I think theoretically the Bears would be best trying to run some no-huddle stuff running out of the shotgun. That would not let clubs substitute to blitz like mad and could get some mismatches by getting the ball into Forte, Hester, Knox's hands letting them get a shot at making someone miss without having to have a big truck size hole cleared up by a lineman.

there is a cutler praise ban in effect until next media cycle

we should never allow him to be tried on american soil

i dont really blame cutler for sucking; that's what happens when you have no o-line and no receivers (besides a pretty good TE)

yeah my sense is that cutler and forte are a lot better than this. i don't think cutler is used to having a totally shitty o-line. i can't even begin to imagine what rex grossman would be playing like back there. 46 INTs by now?

Last year Cutler was sacked 11 times all season, and yet somehow found a way to throw 18 picks. This year, more sacks means more picks, but he isn't really getting sacked all that much. I mean, especially compared to Rodgers, who has not thrown many picks at all. Favre, Romo, Rivers, Big Ben, McNabb, Flacco, Schaub all have 15+ sacks, but none of them have more than ten picks.

A bunch of his picks have been on plays when there isn't anyone pressuring him at all, imo.

Not trying to be funny, but his diabetes might be affecting his vision.

didn't he have lasik?

OGOchoCinco

Matter of fact whoever picks me up we can spend 20k just because I feel like being generous<---have I ever lied before--smh-shopping spree

Saints are kind of like some monster 18-wheeler this season -- takes them the whole first half to get up to speed, but then they roll over everything.

Bucs may be sucking today, but their kicker has nailed fg's from 50, 51, and 54.

Graham has gone ham? WEEK ELEVEN 2009 <-- mental bookmark

yes but what about sean suisham, now?

Adam_Schefter To all those tweeting to correct me, is this right: Graham has gone ham?

hahahahahaha i am fucking dying

it's like when you tell your grandma some kind of slang word and then she keeps using it inappropriately because she's a grandma and not really hip to things.

um did the redskins win a game today for real for real? i need some time to come to terms with this. it's weird.

omg if the rams win here

steelers kind of lol, mostly sad

oh look jake delhomme wins! <3<3<3

this is the saddest day in the history of the nfl

The Bengals defense was stout today. Even with the couple of injuries they have had, they are very solid pretty much everywhere. They didn't show any weakness against the Steelers.

If you were watching, who did Ochocinco go up and give a hug to on the Steelers after the game? It was Jeff Reed, another ILNFL superstar.

elam is the worst kicker in the nfl

omg davone bess

what is this day

JETS LOSE
BILLS LOSE

SO FAR TODAY IS PRETTY GOOD

the only good thing to happen today was the delightful bengals aka the CARDIAC CATS shitting on the steelers and their stupid turds-in-human-being-form fans

joe buck just presented the information "green bay is 4-4" in such a manner that it sounded like he was about to confess to murder. wtf was that about?

canks otm

stupid turds-in-human-being-form fans

hi dere

sorry, i actually do know a lot of decent steelers fans, but at the same time fuck them and fuck you)

haha it's cool

O_O sidney rice

wow way to go bengals, that's an awesome win imo

why is everyone upset?? the jets lost so it's a good day so far

*sharts on you*

lol romo had NO idea he was being pursued

‹^› ‹(•¿•)› ‹^› vikings

sorry i found that on a lions chat and i thought i'd share it.

maybe i can wrest some joy from the day if rodgers and his majestic beard destroy the cowboys

doesn't the jets loss console you at ALL?

what on earth are you doing on a lions chat

WTF? Pack are looking OK.

investigating what infinite tears looks like

it's weird, i don't really despise the jets this year? i mean, i do, because they are the new york football jets, but it's more like i hate them in principle now - i sorta find rex ryan and his wacky band of misfits endearing - just unfortunate that they work for such an odious franchise

Heavenly Comedy Jam is a 2 DVD set featuring the top names in Christian entertainment sharing their hilarious insights on everything from parenting to the difference between men’s and women’s bicycles.

I think the announcer just lied and said Iggles are winning 14-7?

lol xp

has this been posted yet?

http://deadspin.com/5405095/old-people-fantasy-football-is-adorable

ugh did another return just get called back?

FUCK, DESEAN

not the best pass from vick but u gottta catch that shit

Way to kick a field goal on 4th and inches at the goal line, Andy Reid.

srsly

also 14-3 is a v bad score for eagles, hate that score

BIG STOP

......

Turner loves to run Sproles up the gut so he can get stuffed.

desean did u just call a fair catch on the 5 yd line O____O

Lotta injuries today.

green bay vs dallas -> zzzzzzzzzzzzz

i am almost tempted to watch kc vs the raiders

zzzzzzzzzzz

Why are Arizona so inconsistent?

this green bay - dallas game is like torture

really surprised they are showing the Dallas Green Bay game here in SF instead of a division match-up. wonder how that works. oh well, watching Chargers/Eagles on jtv anyway olol

WHY NOT TRY SCORING ANY POINTS AT ALL GUYS

WHAT IF A GAME HAD NO POINTS IN IT - DID IT REALLY HAPPEN?

hahahaha

iggs have most points inside 2 minute warning in the league, somewhat validating my theory i've been posting the last few weeks

FUCK THIS SHIT

guys since dallas is on the road and sort of trying to play football today, do you think we could like invade the cowboy terrordome, maybe take it over while they're not paying attention?

The dancers stay behind, armed to the teeth.

ok also adam schefter just keeps tweeting the word ham - honestly today

mike mccarthy getting rightfully eviscerated by a dude that is like 8 concussions deep

jesus christ, this game

yup pretty much

what is wrong with the cowboys offense? i've basically been doing everything i can to not actually be watching this

romo is getting sacked & they cant gain yards

green bay has run 59 plays, dallas 29

4 sacks in 14 attempts for romo

wow

http://i38.tinypic.com/16c7yv8.jpg

hahahahahah my favorite part of the week ^_^

we also have a bruce gradkowski sighting

yeah that took awhile even though it's kind of shitty but nothing was happening on the field. except rodgers lambeau leap <3

here is the romo we know & love

HAHAHA TONY ROMO

welcome back bro

jones had that ball tho yeah

actually a good challenge

hate nfl reviewing

This day is making me hate teh footballs.

O_O mcnabb

wtf with this

srsly

WHAT THE FUCK IS WRONG WITH THIS GAME

GB should get a delay penalty for that

JEFF TRIPLETTE, YOU ARE FIRED, SINCERELY, NFL FANS

wmc otm

yeah it should be like if you call a time out when you don't have one

i'm sorry about that guys. i called up the sideline phone in green bay dere and was like AYO PACKERS what would happen if you tried to challenge and you didn't have a challenge? oh jeez

keystone kops ftl

AHAHAHAHAHAHA WELCOME BACK TONY ROMO

http://i33.tinypic.com/2ynqu11.jpg

YAAAAAAAAAOOW

Nice throw Romo

fox, please switch to chargers-eagles

hey guys the CFL is having playoffs today apparently. one of the teams is called the Hamilton Tiger-Cats.

penalty flag on this game

fuck this gay network for not switching to the end of the chargers game

yeah but that game has 10 seconds left and an 8-pt differential

this game has 47 minutes left and a 17 point differential so it's obviously superior

*switches to oakland-kansas city*
*repeatedly punches self in face*

fox shoudl switch to the calgary stampeders - edmonton eskimos game, quite frankly.

the edmonton eskimos are the canada version of the redskins, btw. i know nothing about the stampeders. their name is not as good as hamitlon tiger-cats.

lol @ Maurice Jones-Drew apologizing to his fantasy owners for not scoring that last TD.

OGOchoCinco @Adam_Schefter where do I send a check for your suits n how much for a years supply<---I always keep my word
27 minutes ago from Echofon in reply to Adam_Schefter

rofl at the raiders

darrius heyward-meh

gotta go into lockdown for the pats--much <3 guys on this bizarre nfl day

Jones-Drew stopped at the 1 and took a knee, keeping the clock ticking and setting up Josh Scobee's 21-yard field goal that gave the Jaguars a 24-22 victory over the New York Jets as time expired Sunday.

"Sorry to my fantasy owners," Jones-Drew deadpanned. "I apologize. I had myself today. It was a tough call, but whatever it takes to get the victory, that's what counts."

do you think it infuriated Steve Young that Joe Montana's answer to the "who is better" q was that he would just have both Brady and Manning on his future football team?

how long is it likely to take for review of a challenge vs length of normal time out?

colts lite field on fire :(

addai is a touchdown machine - he's basically the 09 jerome bettis if bettis was a reliable receiver

Wow, that would make me feel GREAT as an attendee to know that the entire playing field is potentially flammable.

how about being a player

o_O

Adam_Schefter Apparently, L.T.'s wife left a positive pregnancy test in his locker. And from that moment on, L.T. turned in an inspired performance.

that whole story about germany was completely made up by collinsworth, right?

RANDY MOSS!!!!!!!!

vollmer story is completely true!

BOOOOYAAAAAHHHH RNDY MOSSSSSSSS

ok that cat is the best thing that ever happened to us

im so happy

Oh, so that's where Hank Baskett went.

Collinsworth GTFO with that "Greatest Rivalry of All Time"

i think he was being facetious

he was being slyly hyperbolic

lol brady is on the cover of all these fashion magazines & peyton -> sports illustrated x 1000

guys

whenever i see anything now, all i can think is hatcat photoshop

"hmm... hatcat is GQ's man of the year? isn't that nice...?"

the injury reports coming from all these games today sound like the teams were all sent to afghanistan or something. a seahawk has bleeding in his lungs and was kept in AZ O_o

If Ronnie Brown's ankle injury is serious, my fantasy season is DONE.

lol indy keep yr backfield in line

ha, costas is such an asshole

he really didn't enjoy that today show chimp attack promo

who the fuck are these subway sluts

yeah i noticed that about the today show thing - sounded so glum

is this an internet only feature it cant be on real tv

If Ronnie Brown's ankle injury is serious, my fantasy season is DONE.

Early indications are that he'll miss the Carolina game, but it isn't a serious injury.

damn, brady. oops

o wtf double coverage brady dawg

haha these are not v good quarterbacks

phew! thanking you pats defense

manning has butter on his fingers

i lol'ed at collinsworth all like wait, what? st. peyton can do no wrong

yeah hes all haleys comet wont see that again then manning puts up another duck

btw nbcs video player is a total piece of poo

it's going to take nfl announcers several years to come to terms with the fact that a german dude can play american football

brian dawkins on the broncos' loss today, fyi:

“Crisis? No. Tough spot? Absolutely,” safety Brian Dawkins(notes) said. “There’s not going to be too many teams that’s going to have a straight shot and not go through some adversity. … You can’t sit there and dwell on the piddly-poo of tears and worry about the last game. You have to move forward and that’s what we’re going to do.”

RIP peyton for mvp

man, that was weird

this game is weird, fun but weird

like pats should be winning by 30 rite now

weird INTs all over

btw lol @ denver most predictable collapse ever

colts hav not played well last 3 weeks

texans should've beat them

it's one of those games where i wish one of the commentators would explain more about why stuff was happening, like collinsworth just went on abt how colts offense is messed up tonight, but.. uh.. and? what is the reason? are they just off, or are pats dbs beating up on their receivers

Gruden would tell you IN GREAT DETAIL, and then punctuate it with ridiculousness!

Would probably also give one of the QBs a silly nickname.

The STurgeon.

manning = the sheriff iirc

woah wtf just happened there

are you fucking kidding me

unbelievable. so glad i didn't turn this game off.

lmaoooo

lol 4th and 2 what a cocky dick

JESUS H. FUCKING BELICHICK

really the prob is that they didn't throw it to moss or welker - kevin faulk running an out lol ok

seriously how did that happen? i actually took a walk because i don't enjoy being stressed about football that much

belichick making his squishy mad face

Holy fuck, I went out to walk the dog after the FG and WHAT THE FUCK!!!!

yeah, I left to take a shower and WHAT THE FUCK!!!!

I can't believe the Colts won this game.

i watched the whole game and still WHAT THE FUCK!!!!

I picked Pats to win, but I totally don't mind seeing them lose at all. Especially in such a DUMBFUCK way.

DUMBEST FUCKING 4TH DOWN CALL I CAN EVER RECALL IN MY WHOLE DAMNED LIFE

i just had the craziest dream.

ok why did everyone on this board flee their house during the 3rd quarter or something?

Belichick HAD to have had money on the Colts. It's the only reasonable explanation.

To be honest, NE seemed pretty much in control of this game. They fxxked the duck and choked.

keep fucking that duck

i mean, i think you could still argue that it wasn't the worst idea - the play call was garbage but - does anyone really think that they were stopping peyton even if he had to go 70 yds?

if anyone knows adversity, it's a member of the manning family

belichick provin that he did in fact mentor that eric mangini, thank you v much

was thinking v manginiesque that call smh

lol ally OTM ps WHAT THE FUCK!!!

someone has to create randymoss_smh.gif

I have missed like an entire day of football except for the 3rd quarter of Chargers-Eagles and the parts of this game where the Colts turned into the Saints and the Patriots turned into the Dolphins, or possibly the Rams, or some kind of ridiculous Madden team. Weird day.

Liking Andrea Kremer's first question being "Hey Peyton, what the fuck was that 4th and 2?"

tony dungy trying not to LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL on live television here

did harrison commit suicide?

HE DIED

"well...I mean...you have to punt the ball there, in that situation."

there u r rodney ~_~

Harrison looks like someone shot his dog.

rodney harrison looks like he's going to cry any moment?!

h8 football

rodney looks like he's going to cry

woah xpost

lol @ pats irl

holy fuck this game

where is that star trek gif of the dude shaking his head? that's harrison right now

i was listening to this on the radio in the car, the announcers were just like "they will be talking about that 4th and 2 call for the next 342 years"

http://th00.deviantart.net/fs24/300W/i/2008/022/f/1/facepalm_gif_by_thatweirdo7.jpg

randy moss knew what was gonna happen

i mean.. you don't trust your defense to keep peyton & co from scoring a touchdown, if they had to go 70 YARDS???

so indy gets to the playoffs and loses to super chargers again, right?

http://img.ffffound.com/static-data/assets/6/448c8496e8cbcdfce9f654282663ef255f83ac2b_m.gif

lol this thread was like the '04 alcs thread during games 4-7 condensed into 28 minutes

Ugh Bears vs Eagles next week? I guess it is fun to watch Jay Cutler throw interceptions, and maybe Andy Reid will take tonight's game as a challenge to come up with an even stupider end-game decision.

switched to the Belichick press conference just in time -- DEATH STARES. Course that's nothing new.

larry fitzgerald @ twitteronia

Did u see the guy with belichick throw the camera man down?! Did anyone catch that or was it just me?

I think at this point I am kind of hoping for 18-0 Saints vs. 18-0 Colts in Super Bowl: Fuck you 72 Dolphins and 07 Patriots.

http://i43.tinypic.com/2l9nrih.jpg

Hey Belichick

http://www.thevancouverite.com/pictures/nelson-muntz.gif

prince et al otm

i found it by typing "prince gif" into my search and discovered an ENTIRE FUCKING PAGE that is nothing but prince gifs.

Hahahaha there is a Jim Ross SMH! Delightful.

yes, exactly, on some messageboard that is purple and the first one is that? that is precisely the one i was looking for as well, thought i had it saved around here..

yeah, there are like a million prince gifs all over it. i had no idea! i'll be using more prince.gifs from now on, that is for sure.

peyton in press conference is like a kid being called on at school, all struggling to remember exactly what coverages the patriots were in on the last drive and how much the colts were down by at various points. nobody is grading you, peyton, relax.

He is even nervously scratching the back of his neck!

http://i42.tinypic.com/25rph6c.jpg

at one point he was like, "we were down 34-21, I THINK" and he winced really hard with the effort at remembering and it was a little scary

like maybe archie manning makes him give him a post-game play by play of every look the defense gave him after every game

ok I'm going to go to bed and laugh myself to sleep

also i'm glad the colts won and i still hate the patriots but i thought the fourth-down call was badass and totally in character.

brady trying to defend that call.. awkward

http://i33.tinypic.com/fu9cvt.jpg

nah i mean, if it worked everybody would say bb was the most brilliant genius ever, but then it's like harrison saying, that says you don't trust the guys on the defense..

ok guys i'm gonna post some thoughts abt this before i try to erase it from my mind.

belichick knew the defense was completely gassed--they played the entire game in a 2-4-5 since their 2nd and 3rd-best defensive lineman were inactive. the colts finally figured this out and realized they could double wilfork and run right by prior and wright and...oh yeah those are like the three guys that played. on reflection it's impressive that the defense held up for as long as it did but imo belichick rightly figured that they hadn't stopped the colts for an entire quarter (save a gift INT) and weren't about to start. so he put the game on the line with his offense and u know what? it damn near worked.

that being said what was really frustrating was that the colts made better adjustments as the game went on. in addition to figuring out how limited the pats defense was, they also realized that the pats offense was only using draws and delays for running plays, and the colts blew up several plays in the fourth that would have helped ice the game. gotta also hand it to mathis who had a great game, and the pats never figured out how to help kaczur on the right side.

finally lack of a third receiver is KILLING the pats and i'd venture a guess that the colts figured that out too--it's not a big role in the offense but you need someone competent to make plays when the opposing defense overcompensates for moss and welker. edelman and stanback are clearly not the answer yet (or possibly ever), and ben watson is a talented guy who will never be a go-to guy.

sadly good luck hearing abt most of that it's all gonna be LOL BELICHICK U TARD--i'm not saying he was right in going for it but i think he saw where the game was headed.

the two play calls on 3rd & 4th were super conservative & uncreative

i agree--can't run the spread if you're never going to throw to 2 of the 5 guys. that being said the fourth down play was inches from working and the third down play was a qb pressure where brady's arm was hit on release.

no just no ok

going for it was a pretty sane gamble imo. if the alternative is betting against peyton manning on a last minute cross-field drive, hell, going for a 4th and 6 wouldn't even be that crazy.

afc title game 06 flashback

think what we can all agree on is that whatever the thought process was, bill belichick just failed to go "HAM"

yeah, the blitz on third was a good call by the colts

trent dilfer is infuriated about this, he is just yelling and screaming, it's like this was the last straw for him, the cheating scandal was one thing but HOW DARE BELICHICK MAKE SUCH A CALL. honestly i'm not sure that he's ever watched an eagles or chargers game if he really thinks this was the worst thing that's ever come from a coach's mind.

*RETWEETS*

hahaha wait where is trent dilfer doing this? deion sanders loves the call, btw, because belichick has swagger, and thinks the official was wrong to call it short of the first down.

on espn's "sports shouting"! but now it's berman making his "tweet! tweet! whoop!" noises :(

The more I actually watch the 4th down play the more I am like "Well OK that is pretty defensible, and that spot might have gotten pushed forward on review", but burning the timeouts is what I do not really understand.

it's not so much the concept of the call itself, it's that they were on the 28 yard line, and they had no time outs, and then called a play that didn't make a lot of sense to me.

but, like, in the general scheme of "stupid shit coaches have done" it doesn't even hold a candle to, like, that whole "eagles didn't realize a game could end in a tie" debacle, for example.

or andy reid kicking a field goal the other week

if any analyst realizes that this was not about "arrogance" or "swagger" i'm going to send them a thank-you note.

also forgot to mention that the pats were without their "best" olb tully banta-cain and could basically not substitute linebackers.

every play is about swagger this week, didn't you get the memo

everything is about ham & swagger

ham & swagger should be the title of some aamn thing

;_;

oh well. a play or two goes the other way..

most def like watching that 2006 afc title game.. you know it won't end well

espn replays maurice jones-drew end zone celebration - what was that?!

CAD is mostly otm with his analysis there. the NE defense had died. indy had taken the ball 80 yards in 2 mins twice in that quarter. 2y of offense i would guess was the more sound option statistically by a mile. any other coach in the league make that call? say what you will but that dude has gigantic testicles and they have and will win more often because of that than lose. the move should've been matched by a slightly ballsier play call tho.

but they didn't lose the game on that play - they lost it on those two turnovers in the red zone when they already knew that they were down to the bare bones on defense and needed to help them out. pretty boneheaded turnovers too i thought.

btw the fact that the pats got out-adjusted is particularly galling given the fact that the colts are coached by the inflatable autopilot from "airplane!"

or a guy that was fired by WAKE FOREST

it's the punchline that writes itself

caldwell has some fierce moobs there

http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/news/story?id=4659318

lol

enjoy your interesting, exciting football while it lasts because here come the browns tonight!

went to bed early last night, guess i missed a pretty good game huh

never go to bed early imo

i remember tuning in at one point and NE was up by like 17 or something and i was just like 'eh fuck it'

Yeah, ^^^ this.

Now someone else plz beat the Colts (and NO) and everything will be okay. They can both go 15 -- 1, tho.

pats will beat NO i think

still SMH over here
maybe i'll get over it during the monday night game OH WAIT THE BROWNS ARE PLAYING ;_;

i am actually obligated to watch tonight because i need about 13 points from rice, lewis, and lolhauschka to win in ilnfl fantasy.

besides i like seeing mangini fail.

i hate him and want him to fail, this is true!

fierce moobs is maybe the funniest phrase in existence.

sportswriters outrage over the belichick call making me root for the dude for the first time ever

yup. hmm.

not sure if my link will work but it should be a really long paper about why you should pretty much always go for it on 4th down.

in no way does that diminish my lol fuck belichek enjoyment

thanks for sharin bro

Adam_Schefter ESPN's Michael Smith reporting that Larry Johnson is en route to Cincinnati, and barring a breakdown, is expected to sign with Bengals.

we're getting closer then

Taken on its own, there's a certain logic in going for it on 4th and 2 in this situation.

But it was batshit insane given the poor clock management and bad play calls on that play and throughout the 4th quarter (offense and defense).

The Pats needed to commit to their running game in the 4th and just slow everything down and eat up as much clock as possible. Instead they tried lots of failed passing plays and then let the Colts speed down the field.

And tossing it to Faulk right at the 1st down line was wrong, wrong, wrong. There were several better options, just not that.

Rodney Harrison choking back the tears in the after game show damn near broke my heart.

BTW, is Rodney Harrison vs. Tony Dungy an extension of the GREATEST RIVALRY OF ALL TIME?

Ugh, I don't want Larry Johnson upsetting the balance in Cincy! They're going to the AFC championship this year.

it looked like faulk caught the 4th down pass across the 30 for a first down.

but bobbled it

But it was batshit insane given the poor clock management and bad play calls on that play and throughout the 4th quarter (offense and defense).

i'm not sure how the clock management and other calls affect this one? if anything they added to the sense of urgency and the fact that the pats really needed to steal one.

Honestly don't think this game mattered at all. New England and Indy will both win their divisions, and will probably play the Colts in the playoffs and be healthier when it happens. A lot of hubbub over very little.

i'm not sure how the clock management and other calls affect this one?

i think going for it on fourth would've been much more defensible if they hadn't unnecessarily blown two time outs on that offensive drive (didn't they call one on first down coming out of a tv time out or something?)

yeah they did. timeouts would have been useful to stop the colts from running out the clock which is why my first inclination was to let them score.

With 2 minutes left it makes more sense to force the Colts to move the ball 70 or 80 yards than to give them the opportunity to only go 30.

yes in a vacuum it does.

look, i think it's basically inarguable that the colts were going to score

remember that on monday night this season, the dolphins sat on the ball & kicked a FG assuming that their defense could stop the colts from getting a TD and they scored a TD in like 5 plays

I think if they kicked to Indy, the Pats would have had a decent shot at running down the clock without an Indy TD.

I think they convert that fourth down maybe half of the time, but stop Indy maybe 1 out of 5 times based on how shredded their defense was.

have you been watching the same colts i have run the 2-minute drill for the past 10 years? no one--NO ONE--runs a better two minute drill.

xp btw

also far as the running game.. if memory serves they did try that at least partway into the 4th and it wasn't working? they only had maroney/faulk

the pats running game is passing short to welker. when they can get him the ball 10-12 times a game in little 4/5 yard patterns that let him run after the catch they are pretty much unstoppable. like i said last night, i think the play call on fourth was just obvious & uncreative esp from what you would expect from the pats. idk how they don't try and get moss or welker in space. it's like they got totally spooked by the blitz on third down.

it's like they got totally spooked by the blitz on third down.

that's exactly how it seemed, which was so weird because they had looked indestructible offensively earlier. i was totally dismayed during the first half watching all those brady long bombs to moss.

http://cache.gawker.com/assets/images/11/2009/11/500x_billb.jpg

also HOLY CRAP GUYS.

1) it was a bad call not because percentages blabbity blah blah blah but based on how the pats were playing at that point in time (not well) versus the fact that the colts were running their "every other possession" offense in which they score in 30 seconds one possession, and then hurtle the ball straight at the defense in the next. so it's putting a lot of stock in the concept that the pats offense could get the first down after the series of missteps and mistakes that immediately proceeded the call.
2) yes, everyone is right that regardless of the decision, the colts were going to win that game so who even cares, in many ways this was a zen koan.
3) anyone who is all like WORST DECISION EVER is a fucking retard who apparently is unfamiliar with norv turner, brad childress, andy reid, eric mangini, etc. i mean it was just your run-of-the-mill questionable call here where you are like, "yeah well i guess the dude figured either way the colts would score so might as well try to keep the ball" where you understand it but are like "why so negative on your d lil bro, the plays leading up to this did not indicate that your o could accomplish this thing". as opposed to seriously literally having no idea what a person could've possibly been thinking at the time they chose to do that thing.

i don't even understand why this is an argument.

it was also a bad call b/c indy needed to go all the way down and score a td, not just get to the 30 and kick a field goal.

when the indy offense is working they score tds not fgs. is anyone going to tell me that the indy offense wasn't working at that point in the game. also,

yes, everyone is right that regardless of the decision, the colts were going to win that game so who even cares, in many ways this was a zen koan.

iirc if the pats gain 2 yds the colts lose the game, so yeah.

spooked by the blitz is a good description imo.

I wonder if a day will ever go by where the schef doesn't rip on my Chargers. :(

i am simply appalled that no one in the media seems to be talking about: ty warren, jarvis green, sammy morris, fred taylor, tully banta-cain.

signing LJ is such a bengals move - they spend no money on scouting, so they base their personnel decisions off name recognition (their draft this year was a great example of their player-personnel-on-a-budget strategy, andre smith, michael johnson, rey maualuga - they just love to collect big names who fell) - i wouldn't call LJ worthless exactly (except as a human being), but anyone with eyes can see that he's pretty much a used up cumrag

xpost re: why they're not talking about all the injuries for the pats - i don't know. i haven't read too much other than mike reiss who is a really good reporter. besides him i wonder how people get into sportswriting and don't seem to offer much insight, or who are fans of the game for a loooooong long time, and don't try to at least think about all the factors that might go into whatever major decision a coach makes

(the bengals signed larry johnson btw)

btw prev post is not meant in ANY way to refer to anyone on ilnfl, <3<3<3 everyone here, i mean when i read yr average poster on sports blog or boston globe or something
