0-2? THAT'S WHEN I'M A VIKING ✰✰✰ NFL Week Three ✰✰✰

Make yr picks, y'all.

DET @ MIN : Lions have almost gotten there twice, and played Philly really hard last week. I think Favre is toast, at least until Rice comes back. So, Lions.
DAL @ HOU : I can't think of any reason whatsoever that Houston loses this game.
BUF @ NE : ^ I can't think of any reason whatsoever that New England loses this game.
CIN @ CAR : ^ I can't think of any reason whatsoever that Cincinnati loses this game.
ATL @ NO : Falcons aren't really clicking yet, and putting a whoopin' on Arizona is a red herring. Saints.
PIT @ TB : I would've said Pittsburgh before, but it looks like Leftwich will be the QB. Tampa honestly looks better in this situation.
CLE @ BAL : Ravens O is shittier than anyone predicted, and Browns O may just win by a point or two. Browns win, maybe?
TEN @ NYG : I think the Titans poor W2 performance was a lark. They should beat the football Giants even on the road.
SF @ KC : I'm pulling for the Chiefs until further notice.
WAS @ STL : I like the Skins here, even though the Rams are improving (baby steps).
PHI @ JAC : If Kolb is back, it becomes less of a certainty. But I still think the Iggles win.
SD @ SEA : I'm starting to really hate the Chargers, but they'd have to be asleep to lose this one.
OAK @ ARI : Ugh, is this really happening? It will probably end in overtime in a 0-0 tie. (Raiders)
IND @ DEN : Colts get it together and start their streak here.
NYJ @ MIA : I have every hope this resembles the Jets/Fins game from early last year, including the Miami win.
GB @ CHI : Against all good judgement, I'm picking Bears to go 3-0.

DAL @ HOU : I can't think of any reason whatsoever that Houston loses this game.

they were a 45 yard fourth down heave away from losing to the redskins fwiw

i def can't think of a reason why new england or cincy would lose tho

xp Redskins def better team at this point than the Cowboys, and have a close win to prove it.

also this isn't about football but i think i should point out that i was just watching "diner's, drive ins & dives" and they were at a diner in pittsburgh and their signature dish is a prime rib salad that has french fries in the salad

just to get us in the right mindframe for week 3

ha man idk... the cowboys haven't looked great but i wouldn't say that the redskins are definitely better -- they prob don't win that game if not for the fluke felix jones fumble

not that i would come anywhere near picking the cowboys over the texans at home, but i was just giving one reason

also reggie bush out 6 weeks

Fair enough. I'm buying into Tom Jackson's Houston hype, though. Now that they've got a decisive divisional win at home (over the Colts) and a comeback win on the road (over the Skins), they've got an equal balance of skill and confidence.

Oh man, 6 weeks?! That makes me sad irl, but it makes me happy in fantasy because Pierre is one of my RBs in the 8-team league.

8-8 last wk; 18-14 overall

DET @ MIN : lions havent won a game on the road since 1984 or something - vikes
DAL @ HOU : still fully expect the texans to go 8-8 somehow but will take them here
BUF @ NE : pats
CIN @ CAR : bengals
ATL @ NO : saints
PIT @ TB : pitt
CLE @ BAL : ravens
TEN @ NYG : chris johnson is gonna torch the giants & the fans are gonna be ready 2 kill this new coordinator; i guess nyg could still outscore them? but ill still go - titans
SF @ KC : kc
WAS @ STL : skins
PHI @ JAC : eagles
SD @ SEA : bolts
OAK @ ARI : i think the raiders!
IND @ DEN : Colts
NYJ @ MIA : gonna say miami
GB @ CHI : i think the pack

DET @ MIN : I feel comfortable picking the lions
DAL @ HOU : Dallas in an empty "ship-righting" win. That said, I suspect Mario Williams tees off on TR.
BUF @ NE : ^ I can't think of any reason whatsoever that New England loses this game.
CIN @ CAR : ^ I can't think of any reason whatsoever that Cincinnati loses this game.
ATL @ NO : Saints.
PIT @ TB : Pit
CLE @ BAL : BAL
TEN @ NYG : TN
SF @ KC : SF
WAS @ STL : WAS
PHI @ JAC : PHI w/ Vick as starter (starter = Start of game + >50% of snaps), JAC w/ Kolb (Kolb = Start of Game + >50% snaps). I feel comfortable w/ this prediction split.
SD @ SEA : I'm starting to really hate the Chargers, but they'd have to be asleep to lose this one.
OAK @ ARI : Raiders
IND @ DEN : Colts get it together and start their streak here.
NYJ @ MIA : NYJ irritating team of destiny
GB @ CHI : GBP

seems like it's a week to pick a lot of road teams? always an uneasy feeling.

DET @ MIN : vikes
DAL @ HOU : this feels like it "should" be a cowboys win but texans in a shootout
BUF @ NE : pats
CIN @ CAR : bengals
ATL @ NO : saints
PIT @ TB : steelers, though i don't know how they score
CLE @ BAL : ravens
TEN @ NYG : giants

DAL @ HOU : Stern looks between Romo and Jerry Jones forthcoming. Texans
BUF @ NE : Still don't understand how they lost to the Jets. Pats
CIN @ CAR : Bengals I guess? Haven't seen them this year but the panthers look pretty weak, so
ATL @ NO : Saints, but could be a surprisingly good shootout.

zzz boring Raider talk: Raiders will go over .500 if Gradkowski does the cleanup like he did against the Rams, and McFadden stays healthy & runsrunsruns. If it's all Campbell all the time, I think we're hosed. And that's not so much against Campbell as O-Line being in a state of perpetual stink (same as it ever was)

RT@BearsTwit‎: Source is reporting to ESPN's Adam Schefter that Chargers WR Vincent Jackson has been traded to the Vikings.

12-4 last week, 20-11 overall

DET @ MIN : vikings i suppose though detroit was putting up a good fight against the eagles, and the vikings look a little old and confused
DAL @ HOU : texans' O is epic and the cowboys' D won't be able to stop them imo
BUF @ NE : patriots
CIN @ CAR : bengals
ATL @ NO : atlanta is better this year than last but still not up there with new orleans
PIT @ TB : it'll be close but steelers
CLE @ BAL : ravens
TEN @ NYG : giants are gonna try to stop CJ and let the QB(s?) try to win it for tenn, which they will fail to do.
SF @ KC : if the niners can keep the ball for more than 30 seconds at a time on offense, they should be alright
WAS @ STL : wash
PHI @ JAC : eagles
SD @ SEA : chargers gonna tear it up
OAK @ ARI : raiders
IND @ DEN : colts
NYJ @ MIA : i hope it's the dolphins but i'm picking the broncos
GB @ CHI : BEARS!

xp it's not so much that the raiders are that much better (well they're somewhat better) as it is that they should be able to go 6-10 with their schedule without trying. And they appear to be trying!

NYJ @ MIA: I hope it's the dolphins but i'm picking the broncos

i would happily trade 10 consecutive losses to the broncos for one win over the jets this week

lol wait

re: Jackson to Minnesota.

Dude hasn't played since January amirite? This is a deal that won't show any immediate improvement.

However, by the time Sidney Rice gets healthy, Percy Harvin gets healthy, and someone replaces Brett Favre, the Vikes offense will be cookin'. So...2012?

By 2012 Jackson will probably be playing for a different team.

and favre will be interred into permafrost

Favre will be driving his Wrangler van to a parking lot near you for free giveaways and prizes

he'll be tossing them out into the crowd where they'll be picked off by guys wearing levis

then he'll hail mary a pair through the front window of the Radio Shack & have to leave town

9-7 last week. 17-15 overall
DET @ MIN : vikings are overdue for a win. despite gramps.
DAL @ HOU : oh please please please Texans
BUF @ NE : patriots by a lot
CIN @ CAR : bengals, though not having moore at the helm might make carolina's D setp it up
ATL @ NO : Saints.
PIT @ TB : The steelers defense really scares me.
CLE @ BAL : ravens
TEN @ NYG : Tenn

braylon in "gotcha!" fail:

"Why was I stopped for tints when my driving didn't lead you to believe I was drunk driving?" Edwards said, according to the report of the arresting officer.

re: Jackson to Minnesota.

Dude hasn't played since January amirite? This is a deal that won't show any immediate improvement.

yeah it's a stupid move if it's true....still hasn't happened i guess

I dunno, Jackson is pretty good. If they do it now he can start learning the playbook and be in better shape when his suspension ends.

re: Jackson to Minnesota.

This is the route Favre finally took to camp this season. </dad>

ESPN sez Vick starts this weekend. Also, Larry Johnson cut by Skins (ha!).

chris mortensen said that vick is the indefinite starter and the decision is not related to kolb's concussion

also lol at d'brickashaw ferguson & vernon gholston being in the car with braylon

they would've been better off had the car plunged into the east river after they dropped ferguson off

Oh man, you guys. I just saw Josh McDaniels' press conference about Kenny McKinley's suicide and now I want to give every Bronco a hug. ;_;

GB @ CHI : Against all good judgement, I'm picking Bears to go 3-0.

― Johnny Fever, Tuesday, September 21, 2010 5:09 AM (18 hours ago) Bookmark

Dude no way. The Bears line can't protect Cutler at all, and Clay Matthews is a steroid monster right now.

Weirdness, thy name is Monday Night Football.

Close games are usually closer, upsets happen more often than usual, great players play poorly, poor players play greatly. So, while Green Bay should absolutely win this, I'm going with Chicago anyway. (I'm not putting a lot of confidence points on it, though.)

one amazing thing about the bears so far is that Cutler has been so resolute and tough in the face of constant pressure. He's a SOB, but a tough SOB.

he's made some incredible passes this year

highest qb rating in the league so far this year

8-8 last week, didn't pick for week 1, so 8-8 overall.

DET @ MIN : Vikings are lol, but Vikings get a win this week.
DAL @ HOU : Texans.
BUF @ NE : Pats.

ATL @ NO : Saintz.

OAK @ ARI : Raiders.
IND @ DEN : Colts.
NYJ @ MIA : Fins.
GB @ CHI : Packers.

the hester TD was an amazing pass & catch all around

For the Browns to have a receiver as fast as say J.Knox, is unfathomable to me.

can i just
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F31ELjaFkO4
i mean this was the prettiest td i remember seeing

umm how have we not talked about FLYING POLAMALU yet

wait for the second angle

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6DyzASDVpwU

so sick

partly i wondered if revis faked his hammy pull so he could explain away getting sonned so badly.

maybe he's just scared to play the dolphins this weekend.

Couple of things I have noticed...

Houston Texans have given up over 800 yards in passing in the first two weeks.

Talking heads are talking like the Bears don't have any 'real' receivers. Now going into last year, I could see this point, as they didn't have much experience. They put up some yards up last year, even if the interceptions killed them. Their wide outs are just flat out fast, even some of the backups like Bennett. I'd like to see them have a hands/possession receiver, but they pretty much have that with Forte and he has the ability to make a move after the catch. Olsen isn't bad either. That offensive line...err, I hope they can keep Cutler from getting killed.

Bears defense put some flat out knocks on the Cowboys last week.

Have you guys noticed that on the team pages for Yahoo (those of you who play in the fantasy leagues, anyway) they list salaries? I was just peeping the Raiders page and saw this: punter Shane Lechler makes $6,401,560 in 2010, while Jason Campbell, Bruce Gradkowski and Michael Bush don't even make that much combined. Punting is lucrative!

To be fair, Lechler may be most reliable player on team. "May"

"We had multiple deals in place," said Neil Schwartz, Vincent Jackson's agent. "It is our understanding from (other general managers) that the Chargers were unreasonable. More than one general manager referred to A.J. as the 'Lord of No Rings.'"

sportscenter's poll tonight was "who is the best quarterback in the nfc east?"

tony romo finished last

Sources say Jackson’s agents will attempt to get back at Smith by making sure their receiver, once he ends up with a new team next spring (or later, depending upon the uncertain labor landscape), has an inordinately low base salary for 2011 – which would likely reduce the compensatory pick the Chargers would receive for losing Jackson from a potential third-rounder to a sixth- or seventh-round selection.

Haha that is genius.

yeah that really is

aj smith is a fucking dumbass

this is like the decision to let drew brees walk, except EXACTLY THE OPPOSITE

Sorry guys, I have to rant and the AFL board is tumbleweeds. Whatever issues the NFL has with o/t rules in Superbowls, it's all gravy compared to Australian Rules Football: AFL Grand Final was played today (well tomorrow, whatver, timezones, ow)...both teams tied the score at the end of regulation. Aaaaand that's all.
Official league rules say no extra time in the Grand Final, so...no extra time. Both teams come back next week to play it all over again. Stupid bloody archaic rulebook, probably still has penalties for untrimmed mustaches and not folding your breeches correctly before a game. GAH!!!!!! St Kilda haven't won a premiership since 1966; last year they were beaten in the grand final in a heartbreaker; this year they tie. If they don't win the do-over game, I'm pretty sure they'll chomp down on cyanide pills.

The end.

For posterity:

http://images.theage.com.au/2010/09/25/1948454/gf_defcon4-620x0.jpg

Sorry. Back to Yankeeball!

nothing in that photo makes sense ot me

The score, or just everything?

i understand that they tied

A couple of those dudes have nice ink.

Quick AFL scoring, 101:

A goal = 6 points
A behind = 1 point (There's an extra post on either side of the goals, so if you kick a point and you miss, and the ball goes between the other posts, it's a 'behind'. Like a 'nice try' point).

10 goals, 8 behinds = 68 (Saints, ie Saint Kilda, known as the Saints bc its in their name obv)
9 goals, 14 behinds = 68 (Pies, ie Collingwood who are known at the Magpies b/c they're black and white like the bird..Pies is just bc Australians shorten all words wherever possible to make it easier to talk fast)

ugh i'm tired: I meant if you kick a GOAL and you miss, and the ball goes between the other posts, it's a behind.

Saints are Red White and Black; Collingwood are Black and White

I'm all for AFL. it's like if every game was run like the final NFL desperation ploy of passing the ball backwards to eight different players on a last second kickoff return.

In fact, since we're so inclusive, we could rename this board "I Love Football".

really enjoyed the idea of a successful team being officially named "pies" before you had to ruin it

Haha, sorry iatee! If it makes you feel better there's a team called the Swans, and that's not slang for anything :)

Adam_Schefter OT Marcus McNeill signed his one-year, $630,000 tender. He will miss next 3 games, then be eligible to play against Patriots next month.

En route to foxboro to see big ryan fitzpatrick throw on darius butler for 400 yards. HOLLA

Last week 11-5 (season 22-10)

DET @ MIN : I think the Lions are improving, but the Vikings D should be able to hold them down enough to win.
DAL @ HOU :
BUF @ NE : Patriots
CIN @ CAR : Bengals, but I could see this being kind of ugly and the Panthers hold around.
ATL @ NO : If it was in Atlanta, I might go Falcons, as I think the Saints are a bit infallible, but NO it is.
PIT @ TB : Steelers defense looks to be reloaded, even with the QB troubles I'll take Pittsburgh. It would be a huge win for TB if it happened.
CLE @ BAL : I'll take Ravens in a snoozer fugly played game like usual.
TEN @ NYG : Both of these clubs took a crap last week. Who knows...I'll go Giants.
SF @ KC : This should be a pretty good game. KC at home. SF had a real QB I think they would be really good, but they don't have one.
WAS @ STL : Washington but it will be closer than expected.
PHI @ JAC : Both of these clubs are really inconsistent over the years. I think the Eagles have the talent and should win, but I would believe they would come out flat and j-ville's D could step up and win. I'll take the Eagles but I don't feel confident on it.
SD @ SEA : Chargers should win, but Seattle can be a tough place to get a win. If they lose that is one more knot in the noose for Norv Turner.
OAK @ ARI : Both of these clubs pretty much illustrate what happens when you get pathetic QB play. I'm going Raiders with Gradkowski, as long as he doesn't get knocked out of the game.
IND @ DEN : I'm sure some real Broncos fans are dying to win this one, as Peyton Manning has used Denver as his bitch over the years both completely destroying them a few times and stealing away victories at the final second. I'm going Colts, as I don't think Denver is ready for prime time and without Moreno, they might not be able to run quite as well, which is the key to beating Indy (control the clock and keep the offensive off the field0.
NYJ @ MIA : Lord will ESPN and the NFL Network shut the fxxx up about the Jets? I'm taking Dolphins just hoping that they might take the din down a notch.
GB @ CHI : Hmmmmm....I want to take the Bears and I really hope they impale those bastards in Yellow, but the betting side of me knows that the Pack probably have the defensive goodies to really run havok with Chicago's crappy o-line. Packers but I hope I am wrong.

Oh Yeah - Dallas at Houston -- This is a hard game to pick. They are kind of the same club, lots of talent and some star power but they will do dumb plays to blow games. Houston has given up a crap load of passing yards in the past couple of weeks and the Cowboys are getting back a couple of O-lineman from injuries. I'm taking Cowboys but like with the Indy game, if Houston wants to step up to the big leagues they got to win this one and I am still a bit skeptical. A Cowboy 0-3 start would be great from a schadenfreude perspective.

DET @ MIN : Detroit. Would that even be considered an upset pick anymore? Detroit's getting better and better and I predict Favreceptions galore.
DAL @ HOU : Houston. Wade has got to be fored if Dallas loses, right?
BUF @ NE : Pats. Moss and Welker please score ten TDs apiece kthxbi.
CIN @ CAR : God the Panthers are awful.
ATL @ NO : Saints are bad but they're not THAT bad.
PIT @ TB : Steelers, duh.
CLE @ BAL : Cribbs can't even return the ball well anymore! Ravens in a blowout.
TEN @ NYG : Giants
SF @ KC : Chiefs. Will Thomas Jones please blow out his knee in four places???
WAS @ STL : Redskins. McNugget is my man.
PHI @ JAC : Jags
SD @ SEA : Chargers
OAK @ ARI : Cards. How in God's name did Derek Anderson make the Pro Bowl???
IND @ DEN : Colts
NYJ @ MIA : Dolphins in a snoozefest
GB @ CHI : Packers. This shoud be a great game.

None of the four games I want to see are being shown on regular TV or basic cable. Kinda hate that I have to sit at Buffalo Wild Wings all day just to watch NFL games. Insight also, to my knowledge, doesn't offer any sort of NFL fastpass kinda package, a la DirecTV, where you can watch all the games.

OK, rant over. Guess I'm watching the Bungles.

jesus christ -- how many deflected interceptions has eli thrown this year? 5?

also lemme know if anyone can hook it up w/ a stream of the dallas game

texans-cowboys looks like its gonna be chippy

ATDHE has a stream!

assholes fyi directv is the only provider that offers the comprehensive nfl package--so tons and tons of ppl are out in the cold on that one.

just didn't want you to feel too alone--if u live in a different city from yr team there's a good chance you have to watch at a bar. sucks imo.

yeah the atdhe stream was asking me to download some shit, guess i might

god, lol at the cowboys forever

fuck, really eli?

aaron hernandez is fantastic

hello RANDY MOSS

xpost Thanks, destroyer. Tough being a Titans fan in Bungles country. I'd probably settle for the Houston - Dallas game, but I've got Saints - Falcons and Bengals - Panthers here. It'd be much cheaper to just get DirecTV than to spend untold amounts at the bar every week, but they don't even offer it here. Lame

i don't get why the nfl doesn't have a thing where you can pay them to stream games online in good quality -- mlb & nba do it -- it doesn't make any sense

god the giants suuuuuck

fuckin diehl sucks ass

just a guess but i bet their contract w/directv is very, very exclusive

yeah but i don't see how it's not profitable for directv to get in on it too -- make me pay $125 for the whole year or something -- you can sell more ads etc

just seems like they could make some money doing that instead of holding out for ppl to subscribe to directv completely

ugly redzone possession by the texans

yeah that was not good

hey! nice deep ball by charlie batch to mike wallace! wtg old dude.

It's weird. This is the second Houston game I've seen this season. I can't remember ever seeing more than one in one year before.

guess no lions wanted 2 cover harvin there

<3 dex mccluster

That was a killer run by Dex

he's awes

Drew Brees WHAT??

Yikes

The Browns defense is very very very bad.

BILLS

christ, fuckin patriots

the hell is going on there

defense sucks

but hey, danny woodhead!

yeah defense looks awful. who is danny woodhead?? i mean, i know they signed him lately, but..

isn't that the dude they signed from the jets?

yea he was featured a lot in hard knocks

yeah he's nu-kevin faulk

49ers offense is so inept that I am finding myself rooting for the Chiefs

i'm sure it's been mentioned before (here even) but damn Brad Childress looks like a serial killer.

i think it's usually a molester but yeah he just straight up looks like a creep

DID YOU GUYS JUST SEE THIS LITTLE TIDBIT IN THE DALLAS GAME

that their kicker has never attempted a 50+ yard field goal in the nfl OR IN COLLEGE

Did he play on a short field? WTF

so raise your hand if you also thought to yourself "well if charlie batch is gonna be quarterback i'm just gonna go ahead and BENCH mike wallace this week"

Xpost yeah 49ers don't look great...Chiefs have had some nice runs & their D is pretty tite

hey, gostkowski didn't miss. all right

yeah i needed someone for flex this week and mike w. is definitely chillin on my bench

i benched mike wallace this week too, tho considering shady mccoy was my flex i can't get too down on myself (tho maybe i should've started him over Steve Smith Caroline)

of course my opponent played him !%&^@#$@

whaaaaaat favre got picked by a lineman???

clausen's passer rating = 0.0

Can someone confirm that the Lions are having fun?

"...You think you can beat me. And then you meet me." (Aaaaand then you defeat me.) lol Niners commercial

hahah

i'm sure it's been mentioned before (here even) but damn Brad Childress looks like a serial killer.

ohhhhh romo

daaaaaamn. billz just ran back a kickoff 95 yards. belichick is going to flip out

arrrgggghh

I guess the NE defense is just not all that anymore.

Alex Smith getting nailed. May have better luck just not standing at all.

they're making cj spiller look like the player i thought he wasn't

If Buffalo wins today, I'm out of the survival league after three fucking weeks.

spillla

xp me 2 but itd be worth it

favre is getting blasted

Awesome!!!!!! Woooo double fleaflicker

Cassel threw a BOMB

that was fun to watch - KC deserves to win. I have now switched to the superior NYG/Ten game.

(and ATL/NO online)

pittsburgh is gonna be a big factor in the afc off of this start. keep in mind they have a 3rd-place sched

Considering NYG/Ten but Chiefs are making this watchable

you guys, why is Dallas winning? ;_;

PEYTON HILLIS!!!

haha. AP is gonna win my fantasy week for me

whatcho talkin bout hillis?! dude has a really square head

always been a monster. ertime i start feeling not too much animosity about mcd i can now remember hillis and resume my hate affair

meanwhile den will have a way beyond useful buckhalter and maroney

PURPLE JESUS

Green-Ellis starting to show a little consistency.

BROWNS IN THE LEAD @ BALTIMORE

Everybody, the browns 12-point dogs are beating the baltimore ravens in Baltimore!!!

this saints game is stressful as shit but it's a good one!

I'm glad that the Pats finally have some decent TEs to use in scoring situations.

Haha. Steelers D winning games for me again too.

def a bunch of good games rite now

wtf

fukkin larry tynes

giants = unglued

think im gonna become a bandwagon CHEFS fan

I'm watching the Bengals and the Panthers. Don't know if Palmer can't go deep or his wide receivers can't go deep, but like last year, Cincy is running a total basic offense. For about a season and a half, the Bengals used to be able to run a Indy/NE attacking offense, but that is long gone. This slow down basic stuff works in the big games with the tough teams like the Steelers or Ravens, keeping it close, problem is that they will play a club like the Panthers who doesn't have much offense and it also keeps them in the game.

got a good "HA HA" outta gus j. on that keisel td

everybody pat chung tonight

giants are the worst team in the nfc east

giants in the red zone is like watching the democrats in an election

http://imgur.com/qjl9x.jpg

Panthers are SOOOO terrible

ok texans, was fun while it lasted

god i hate roy williams

he's abusing this corner tho

As a saints fan who is reallllllllllly pissed off about how close this game is going, this is a really tight really pretty game so far.

pats wisely running it down buffalo's throat--can we use this gameplan every week pls?

Thank goodness they're willing to commit to a single RB for more than one play.

Devery Henderson, quit dropping the fucking ball.

Dhani Jones with causing a fumble for the Bengals. Cincy needs a TD to put the Panthers out of this game. Bengals keep back like 7 dudes and Carolina will rush 3 and they seem to keep getting pressure. Got it to the 5, they got to punch this sucker in. Got it punched in.

After the first half fireworks last year, the Saints won a bunch of games like they have in the past three weeks. They haven't really been stomping clubs, just playing smart enough to win. They don't dominate.

bengals pulling away; glad 4 them

Niners atm = every losing Raider game ever. Loving the Chiefs though.

singletary might not last through the year

also 2010 nfc west will be the worst division in the history of the nfl

also antrelle rolle is gonna get cut at the end of the year

i hate all those Direct tv commericals, but that knee injury one makes me especially sick

Everybody, the browns 12-point dogs are beating the baltimore ravens in Baltimore!!!

patriots defense--making ryan fitzpatrick look like tom brady

bills have 3 minutes to score 8 and tie it

annnnnd fitzy skies one

Leave it to the Bills to screw up a golden opportunity like that. Thank goodness!

goddamn motherfucking piece of fucking shit.

Too bad Pats are depending on the other team's incompetence to win the game.

Ha,Meriweather. About time the defense stepped up

man, why did they stick with this SF game to the bitter end? There are other great games going on right now. Switch to NO/ATL!

rip pierre thomas

yeah def

that looked ouchie

oh good, he's walking--that looked bad

ROCKAPADS OTM

lol @ Singletary calling his timeouts with 1:23 left, down 31-3. i think i have done a 180 on this guy. he is a baddie.

i want to invite all u guys over to watch redzone. or we could crash my uncle's place in delaware and hit up the full directv package

ack on to ot

singletary should be fired
coughlin as well

SOOOOOO glad to see pierre thomas walking off. going into OT!!

Singletary is giving me Coach Art Shell 2.0 flashbacks. Tilting at windmills ahoy

singletary is such a dickface

Oh so NOW Gore runs

U_U

feel so vindicated that singletary is an awful coach

i think this game is where SF fans turn on Singletary

LOL KARMA

omfg "if time permits we're going to get you to New Orleans." FUCK YOU SINGLETARY

and yeah coughlin needs to go; that team is mad underachieving

Way to start shit up Philly!

YES GET ME TO NEW ORLEANS.

(I still don't understand why Hobbs is taking all our kicks, but good on him for a good return!)

red zone should be a basic cable channel

crunch otm

also there should be a college redzone

College redone otm

Ugh redZone

falcons almost win in ot on a bomb to harry douglas, matt ryan is then brutally sacked

i'm finding the colors of the iggles-jaguars game really confusing

damn, sick play call

pierre!!!

I believe they're preempting skins-rams for OT but by some stupid rule they can only stay with it for a few min?!

I was just about to say Shockey's had a good game, but then that announcer person beat me to it.

RIP

matt ryan is a red motherfucker

Fuck, quit giving it to Ivory.

Football is pretty cool, you guys.

Iggles D looking strong today.

Fucking hate freezing the kicker

WHUUUUUUUUT

kill every kicker

Omg conspiracy

hartley might be out of a job p soon

lol @ fistpumping saints coach

OH FUCK YOU NFL RULES

Kickers still getting frozen, after how many years of this technique being used, is lol. You'd think at some point it'd become commonplace enough that kickers just learn how to cope with it.

that was... bad.

larod stevens-howling!

shit the bed with the lights on, IN A DOME

LOL Raiders giving up a touchdown on the opening kickoff

Oh godammit Arizona already scored. Yay Raiders ffs

HUGE Vick-Jackson connection!

61 yards!

"right through the hands of Darius Hayward Bey" ...redundant

i have hope that this Raiders game is going to be zany as hell

Yay offensive penalty woo DHB you are a tool

that throw by vick was sick

matty ice is a leader!

lol @ skins

What did we do? Besides let Rams put a TD on the board. (Still have OT here)

let the rams put another on the board

Rams appear to have woken up from a 7-year slumber.

yeah this Raiders game is gonna be fun

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0hiUuL5uTKc

I love that on 3rd + yard Vick is willing to go with the pass play.

Yay Zach Miller! Raiders TD.

Skies are gonna rain yellow flags for this game. Penaltyfest weee.

Punt returner for the Broncos is working up the paper work for release losing a kick like that one.

the raiders use heyward-bey very much in the same way that the dolphins used to use ted ginn

lots of curl routes, nothing really over the middle, a few futile shots deep every game, but no YAC, no tackles being broken etc

I'm sure on a sunny Sunday back in John Unitas day, they didn't have a bunch of guys holding a piece of fiberboard over the players head for shade like on a Pharoah's safari like they do at this Colts game today.

Criminy do they have someone peeling grapes?

^^^^^^^^ SO otm

idk that was pretty dope imo

saw a guy get his face wiped by another dude holding a towel earlier today and thought the same thing

Don't even get me started on this whole 'wah wah wah, if we pway 18 games we might get hort' bullshit. Man up, kajillionaires.

Basically modern football is a bunch of pussies.

No offense Hatcat.

wow, amazing Vick TD

Man up, kajillionaires.

Josh McDaniels is wearing some Broncos shirt that looks like it is out of Rollerball.

Nice cut Maroney, all your blockers are on the other side of the field.

well this game just got a little more interesting

San Diego is in trouble.

You could almost call that last hit in the Denver game a fumble and not an in completion.

Redskins are in a battle with the Rams and the Chargers are going to have to pull off a comeback against the Seahawks it seems.

hey look it's Santa Stabler! <3 u Snake

WTF at that 60 minutes Brees story. "we don't watch you play so can u hit a bunch of inanimate objects with the football so we can judge ur greatness"

LAROD

Chargers are looking pretty bad at this point, down 8 heading into the 4th.

Redskins down 8 in the 4th, criminy...

MARONEY

I love how the 60 minutes thing is being pitched like an episode of Mythbusters. "Brees. Superbowl champion. Is he really the best?" Like as if they might uncover the horrible secret: Brees is secretly mediocre and used pagan magic to win a superbowl last year!!!!!!

Is that not what happened?

Raider's ball!! Maybe dont eff this one up gize

Lol "Exclusive: Drew Brees is a sorcerer!"

Josh McD's taking a shot out of the hooded ones book going on 4th.

And no..."nothing to speak of out of the redzone".

HA HA!

rivers makes the best faces

way 2 waste a nice drive mcd

WHY WHY WHY does Rob Ryn blitx every play and leave Ezy TD Wright alone

WHY

I guess a field goal only puts it down to a four point game and it does have the Colts pinned, but this play has backfired on many a coach.

he should've kicked the fg

but i have no idea what kyle orton was doing

Probably a blown route.

Colts o-line has been surprisingly undisciplined in this game.

Wow...nice throw and catch to Austin Collie, especially with the shadow line on the field.

Collie is having a huge game.

Oh Raiderpaws

How do you get a 4 yard penalty Raiders?

Thinking about it, why you kick a field goal is if the Colts drive and kick a FG, it is still a 7 point game.

Hayward Bey :(

*hi-5s mordy* :D

Game over...Collie for the TD.

All that for a christing fg? Honestly Raiders. Honestly.

Cardinals HANDED Raiders a free TD and it's blown on stupid penalties & DHB. smdh

I was looking good on my picks, but it looks like I am going to drop 3 in the afternoon.

Kyle Orton 448 yards of passing, team scored 13 points
Eli Manning 386 yards of passing, team scored 10 points

Oh man the SAN DIEGO CHARGERS. Philip Rivers is amazing when he is not being a ridiculous asshole.

rams may be playing for 1st in the nfc west next week. LOL

LEON WASHINGTON

Oh my God Leon Washington! This game is out of hand.

Aaaaaaaaaaagh

GodDAMMIT seabass

leon!

I'm surprised that Phil Rivers didn't pull a Woody Hayes on that return.

He makes those kicks when he's warming up all the freaking time. Game on the line? Forget it.

Hey Seattle, you might want to cover that Gates guy, he's pretty good!

Oaktown is going to get the ball back unless they have another dumb penalty in them (which you know they do).

Criminy...Gates completely open again.

is this seattle game a joke?

Seattle's secondary is getting destroyed right now.

Prevent you from winning...BA DUMP PUMP!

Hopefully the Cards have a penalty or two in them as well

seattle should put leon into its secondary

Oh well SD fans, you will probably have the pick of coaches next year, as that is a pretty cherry job.

john fox would be good there

maybe cowher

Why do you pass on 2nd and 11 while trying to kill the clock, Seattle? Why?

omg

Awww no Seabass! Noooooo

i hope the chargers score & lose in OT just to spite norm

did he miss another?

Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck

I guess the answer is yes.

How quickly we forget what a dickbag this guy was / is.

welcome to america, homie

lol that should've been a quote

what he did was obv really fucked up, but he did his time, he's been clean since, he doesn't seem like an awful human being, i don't think the dogfighting thing needs to be held over his head tbh

^^^^yeah, this. forgiveness is an important and valuable thing. none of us know what mike vick is "like," but he did his time and deserves a second chance

whether his play is being overhyped is an entirely different thing, but damn if the guy doesn't look like one of the 6 or 7 best qbs in the nfl right now

I'm now trying to guide my friend around town via cell phone to buy wine cuz every store here closes early on sunday.

glad the shart(opus) meme is back <3

hate the orange on the dolphins, but root for them n.e. way

right but this isn't some dude out of college - it's a guy who, at various points of his career, looked like one of the 6 or 7 best qbs in the nfl, and in the long-term has proven himself not to be one

xp

but

- i don't think he ever played on a team this talented when he was in atlanta -- i don't remember the skill position players on those vick teams, but i doubt they stack up w/ jackson/cellek/mccoy/maclin

- important people seem to think that he's changed his mindset as a player -- on nfl matchup last night they showed some video where he def seems much more committed to the pass & he seems generally more accurate

we'll see but he looks like the real deal to me

he seems like an obviously different player so far this year to me

isn't andy reid well-known as a guy who can really help qb's?

he did make the playoffs with jeff garcia

I mean has he proven that he's a legit starting qb? yeah sure. but nothing more imo. xp

Dear god no

• Zach Thomas assures he ``definitely'' will root for the Dolphins Sunday (he will be one of three honorary captains), despite brother-in-law Jason Taylor playing for the Jets. ``I want Jason to stay healthy and have a good game, but not a great game. It will be difficult going against Jake Long,'' Thomas told us after taping an NBC-6 show Friday. Thomas sat in Jets owner Woody Johnson's box for the Patriots-Jets game: ``I was hoping they would both lose.

yeah!! JT married zach's sister

My real hope is a goal line stand, but my secondary hope is that the Jets do something stupid and attempt a 2pt conversion and miss it, then the Dolphins go down the field and tie/win.

Oops. On. Come on Dolphins.

The Dolphins are at your house? Did they bring refreshments?

you can challenge this? there's no way they can overturn this

what kind of play was that

he was actually open, fuck

i feel confident the dolphins will get them next time but damn

damn. Wtf

henne is close to primetime, but not quite there

yeah he kind of folded at the end there

I hope the Jets' plane crashes on the way home. Everyone survives of course, but they are missing for weeks and have to eat Rex Ryan to stay alive.

i actually didn't think the dolphins were gonna win -- it's so hard to beat a team three times in a row esp when they're as evenly matched as these two teams

without that awful long td they gave up it's a v. different game, but that's why they play 'em amirite

yeah -- also they fucked up that drive when they got it first and goal at the 5

and kicked the extra point

holy shit i just saw the eagles highlights

shit, actually one of them was to maclin, down the sideline perfectly beating the cover 2

(seriously tho, hate u 4eva but nice pass)

49ers have fired Jimmy Raye: http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2010/09/27/jimmy-raye-gets-run-away-from-niners/

Earlier this morning, Rosenthal posted that 49ers coach Mike Singletary gave offensive coordinator Jimmy Raye the dreaded vote of confidence. Singletary specifically said that Raye will remain in the job for the rest of the season.

Apparently, the 49ers' season is over. (As a practical matter, it possibly is.)

Jason LaCanfora of NFL Network reports that Raye has been fired.

Unless Singletary decided to pull an Andy Reid about-face in a matter of hours, it's possible that the order came from higher up in the organization, possibly with a "fire Raye or you're out" ultimatum.

Then again, we continue to believe that no one in the 49ers organization would have the nerve to tell Singletary that he's out of a job.

Still, the move brings to mind whispers around the league the Singletary wasn't ready to become a head coach after being elevated into the position during the 2008 season.

LaCanfora also reports that Mike Johnson has been promoted into Raye's job. Two weeks ago, Singletary and others in the organization suspected that Johnson was the "rat" who spoke to the media about Raye's actual or perceived flaws in calling plays quickly.

^ The year's most wonderful soap opera.

i did not realize that jimmy raye was a 64 year-old coach who has coordinated only three seasons where the offense was ranked in the top 16, last being the chiefs in 2000. i mean, why would you hire this guy in the first place?

That's an excellent question, and goes to the root of why the Niners have been so bad for so long.

cf: Tom Walsh, Oakland Raiders 2006. (Though probably an extreme example in contrast). Who knows why the hell these people get hired.

Jimmy Raye had been a trusted assistant behind Norv, who had been the one coordinator Alex Smith had some success with before Norv took the San Diego job, so the theory was that maybe he could duplicate that success. However, Singletary did not allow Raye to run a Norv-esque system. Raye and/or Johnson implemented some spread offense at the end of last season and the team looked pretty good. Then they drafted two huge dudes and tried to go back to Mike's '80s offense and it didn't work.

I mean, obviously Raye had his own problems this year, but I don't think the problem was that Raye was too old fashioned or didn't know what he was doing.

Oof! Trent Edwards is apparently unemployed now.

Whut?

They've dumped Edwards in favor of Fitzpatrick (and, eventually, Brian Brohm I guess).

So I guess Fitzpatrick is REALLY their guy now. Wow.

I will be shocked if they don't draft a quarterback next offseason.

Oh, they most definitely will. In fact, Andrew Luck should probably start looking for a house in Buffalo.

"Hey you, waterboy! You're our #3 quarterback now. Here's a visor, here's a clipboard. Go sit next to Brohm."

How does Daunte Culpepper not have a job in the NFL, btw. Some seriously gross QB play out there.

Weeeelll...friends of mine watched him in a UFL game - Sacramento Mountain Lions v Florida Tuskers (Brooks Bollinger as QB, lol!) and they said Culpepper looked pretty bad. He made Brooks Bollinger look like Michael Vick. And honestly, he didn't get many reps with the Raiders as backup but he was looking slow and creaky when he came in. He's not anywhere near as mobile as he used to be.
His arm's pretty nice, but I dunno that anyone would take a risk on him now. He's way too injury prone.

That's kind of sad.

There's always Jeff Garcia, though. I would love if Garcia were to eventually be signed to every NFL team, even if it's an honorary signing, before he finally retires.

Yeah, I haven't seen Garcia lately but he seem like the kind of guy that can consistently step up.
