Last week 9-4, for the year 58-32.

San Diego at NY Jets- I could see the Jets winning as while SD does seem to be better, they are still coached by Norv Turner. 1pm east coast starts seem to be a thing for some west coast clubs, but they are coming off the bye. I'll go Jets for no good reason.
Chicago at Tampa Bay- Nice comeback by both clubs last week. Chicago's O-line did a good job this week against the Vikings. Beating the Saints is big, but beating them after you got mauled by 40 points is impressive. Kind of a pickem game and yet a big game, as both clubs need as many wins as possible, as winning their division is going to be pretty damn impossible. I'm going Bears and hoping for the best.
Washington at Carolina- Newton and Sexy Rexy both came back to earth from their first couple of weeks of good production. I'm going Washington as their defense is playoff caliber now.
Atlanta at Detroit- I'm going Lions but I don't feel good about it, as I could believe a swoon could come to a team like them. ATL is no greatshakes, but they need the wins as it is going to be nigh on impossible to get over the Saints in the division I think in the long run.
Seattle at Cleveland- I guess Browns at home. I don't know much about either club.
Denver at Miami- I'd think the Broncos are the better club, but who knows. I guess give me QB Jeyzus to lead them to the win.
Houston at Tennessee- Neither club is looking as good as they were at the front. Texans need the win, if they don't get over, injuries and all this year, then I think they will blow up the coaching staff.

Late games:
Kansas City at Oakland- I think this year has proven that practice is kind of overrated in the NFL a bit (at least for offense). I'd think Oaktown should be able to win just running the ball and playing defense. As for the Palmer trade, it's a cold day in hell when someone makes Mike Brown look savvy. That said, it's a high price, but Oaktown has had success with the vet QB over the years coming out of the woods (Plunkett & Gannon), so it is not out of line with something Al would have done.
Pittsburgh at Arizona- Kolb's not really looking too hot now. He's still better than what they had I guess. Steelers should easily win, even banged up as they have been.
Green Bay at Minnesota- Packers but this feels kind of trap game like.
St. Louis at Dallas- Cowboys should win this one. Rams have really regressed after seemingly improving down the strech last year.

Night game:
Indianapolis at New Orleans- Boy I bet NBC and ESPN could flex schedule out all of those Indy games, they probably should be able to do so really, as this is just cruel. As close as they have played everyone, you know the Colts would be like 5-1 with Manning at this point. Saints should roll but I wouldn't be surprised if Indy covers the spread. Boy I bet the Colt locker room is a pretty tense place these days. You have to wonder if Indy still might use this poor season (even with Manning) to maybe use it as a convenient way to shift head coaches. You never know, Caldwell might have gotten the job as a placeholder to a bit to keep Dungy happy. The rest of the staff has turned over quite a bit in the past few years. Would Indy maybe go for a Gruden as coach? I know there is some friendship between Gruden and Manning - and being able to coach an offense run by that guy would have to be damn tempting. Pure speculation on my part, but I oddly could see something like that happening.

Monday night:
Baltimore at Jacksonville- Bmore is 5-1 but I am still not a big believer. There is something about that Titans loss that bugs me. They are going to be 6-1, but I still don't see them as a contender for the crown for real yet.

10-3 last wk
57-33 season

san Diego at NY Jets - bolts, big
Chicago at Tampa Bay - bears
Washington at Carolina- sry beckgruber, panthers
Atlanta at Detroit - this is kinda a big game for nfc wildcard tiebreakers probably - lions
Seattle at Cleveland - whitehurst is not a good qb but im not sure cleveland can win this? maybe if cribbs works some magic, fuck it, browns
Denver at Miami - fins!
Houston at Tennessee - how is andre johnson healthwise? will say titans
Kansas City at Oakland - Raiders.
Pittsburgh at Arizona - think this might be low scoring, ugly. ben might take some hits but i say pitt wins
Green Bay at Minnesota - Packers.
St. Louis at Dallas. Cowboys. i feel bad for the gorams
Indianapolis at New Orleans - Saints
Baltimore at Jacksonville - ravens

Would Indy maybe go for a Gruden as coach? I know there is some friendship between Gruden and Manning - and being able to coach an offense run by that guy would have to be damn tempting. Pure speculation on my part, but I oddly could see something like that happening.

gruden coaching the sheriff! i like the way u think, earlnash

peyty was in the booth on the cbs lsu @ tennessee broadcast the other day, it was great

Oh yeah, I forgot John Beck making his first start this week too

Jahvid Best is maybe out for the year, and Jerome Harrison has a brain tumor.

Fuck man.

the trade my actually have saved harrison's life, apparently

*MAY

I know this sucks for Lion fans but Jahvid Best should really consider retiring. He's gotten a lot of concussions through college and his short NFL career and is only 22. I shudder to think what he'll be like at 40 should he play another ten years :(

^^^

one day there will be mandatory long term time off / retirement for concussions

I wonder if the Lions should have traded for a rb. I know it would be hard to considering they have so much invested in best and leshoure, but they have a real chance to make noise this year.

{a rb way better than ronnie brown)

maybe they'll make a run at peyton hillis in the offseason?

!!! for the whole thing?

gruden at indy would be great; h8 caldwell

A couple of more losses on the Colts and that meme is going to be picked up, you don't go from 10-6 to 2-14 and keep your job no matter who gets hurt and really the only man down is Manning. George Seifert won a Superbowl and looked like a f-ing genius after Bill Walsh, but notice he didn't sniff after his utter failure in Carolina. Same goes for Tom Flores, who was not an older man when he bombed in Seattle after winning 2 Superbowls with the Raiders. Caldwell was a bust as a college head coach and the only path you can say in his time with the Colts is down 14-2, 10-6 and now apocalypse.

yeah not only is Caldwell boring as shit but he's an awful coach too, with Manning gone I can't fathom why any of THOSE GUYS would want to stay

btw I really think that any decent coach would have beaten the Saints in the Super Bowl

seriously it should be a law that whenever jim caldwell is shown on TV it says:

HEAD COACH JIM CALDWELL*

*fired by Wake Forest

jim loldwell

i must have done this before, but whatever:

http://www.myflightblog.com/images/autopilot_1.jpg

the first question at every jim caldwell press conference should be "now jim, i know we've been over this before, but could you once again explain how you got a head coaching job in the nfl when you previously went 26-63 at wake forest?"

if they hired jim grobe they would go to the super bowl every year?

I don't know about 'any' coach beating the Saints. Caldwell got outfoxed in that game, as New Orleans ran the script that works against the Colts - keep the offense off the field. They also had the balls to run that onside kick and make it work. Manning has made some good coaches including Cowher and "the dark one" try that kind of trick and get burned big time. Payton rolled the dice got the ball and made that extra possession stick.

wow, looks like Carson Palmer might not even play this week, as he's likely not conditioned enough to make the throws they want...nice trade

dude took an 8 million paycut to offset that tbf

he's gonna start

They should let Boller start and give Palmer the bye to learn the playbook and get his fitness up. But they probably won't do that.

― frogbs, Friday, 21 October 2011 19:49 (1 hour ago)

Doubt it's conditioning. 5 days is an awfully short amount of time to learn the playbook!

Whether they start him or not, keeping it a total mystery all week is totally the right move strategically.

guys I'm really glad tomorrow is sunday fyi

great way to spend the bye week imo

holy shit that 1st tebow throw was the ugliest thing ive ever seen

oh man cam newton

prob not a good sign that they're not even letting him throw on third down

lol jets

I really can't think of any nfl starting quarterbacks who had throws as ugly as Tebow's.

lions oline might wanna block some dudes no big deal

Detroit should seriously just take 7 offensive linemen in next year's draft.

bold prediction: all 3 Oakland QBs take a snap.

oh man, falcons :(

ugh, forte

denver is running urban meyer's offense

matt ryan: fully torqued

john beck throwing some rex grossman passes here

can't wait to start random fantasy defenses vs the john beck redskins

aaaaand FUMBLE

this john beck thing might not be working out so well

lol denver's offense

should i be watching the denver game so i can LOL @ tebow? i have on detroit/atl right now

lol sanchez

intercepted in the end zone when jets were driving for a score

LOL

and after he had a TD pass called back by a penalty

tebow just havin fun out there

man if the jets lose this one...

THEY BETTER LOSE THIS ONE

there are some wacky things going on today

no offense can score a touchdown

ok how did suh not get a flag for blatantly shoving one of the falcons guys over long after the play was dead

this titans-texans game is terrible, and it's such huge must win game.

london crowd reacting to a safety has to be among the oddest crowd sounds in history

i don't know what's happened to me, but i am starting to think phil rivers is kind of cute

if ally still posted on ilnfl she would o_O that post

and she would be otm

me too, hon

san dee-egg-o super chargers!

been kinda into the butt chin recently, for some reason

ruh roh jets

also his face is less dough-y than it used to be! it's a very confusing time

the lions have committed like 5 penalties inside the one

the lions losing two weeks in a row would be way uncool

san diego is going to neutral zone infract the jets into their endzone

miami and denver 0/10 combined on 3rd down

dammit burress td

great play call, a tiny DB trying to press plax on the line

arian foster

that guy is ridiculously good

that pass across the field looked dumb as heck but ended up being superb

is everyone just watching red zone today? that's what it seems like. def one of those kinda days.

i have schaub and foster in one fantasy team - 22 points in one play

TOLBERT, YOU SPLENDID SNOWMAN

titans fans booing chris johnson every time he carries it.

holee shit malcolm floyd

another prisoner outbreak on cromartie island

lolll

feelin' good, with a commanding 6 -- 0 lead.

fuck sake miami

tebow is like cam newton minus even a remote ability to complete a pass

is denver possibly thinking about brady quinn?

tebow is like cam newton minus even a remote ability to complete a pass

he has 24 passing yards already!

brady quinn getting in against the dolphins would be kind of hilarious

is denver possibly thinking about brady quinn?

bcuz ppl there were apoplectic when the dolphins drafted ted ginn and passed on... brady quinn

tebow with more rushes than pass attempts.

picks like ted ginn are why the nfl draft is my favorite sporting event of the year.

what a game. it's like both the broncos and the dolphins play tackling dummies where offensive linemen are supposed to be.

the scary thing is that ginn is probably in the top 5 players drafted in that top 10

they're just gonna cancel this browns-seahawks game at half right?

lol @ d hall showboating after dropping an INT that would've gone back for 6

Cam newton had the best 25 yard qb scramble in NFL history.

ROWDY RODDY

have the lions had the ball at all this half

yes, and they've gotten creamed almost every time. one good drive I think?

way to go, jabar

another prisoner outbreak on cromartie island

hahahahah

meanwhile, redskins just turned it over again. but if precedent holds the carolina offense will now use a combination of penalties/sacks to go about 15 yards backwards before a FG attempt

if u like watching olindo mare fg attempts, this is the game 4 u

well the panthers are paying olindo like $25 million so they might as well put him to good use

has the nfl network ran a "behind the scenes of red zone" program? seems kinda fascinating to me tbh

does the guy get to eat anything? by 3:15 i would see the jaguars throw an incomplete 7 yard pass on third and nine and hurl my chair across the room

cant we ever give london like a saints v packers game so they can see actual football

"so we should see more offense in the second half with john beck and cam newton"

I DON'T BELIEVE YOU

did they get the buccaneers because the Glazers own Man U?

that was some pass, tebow.

at least the bucs don't go there every year -- i'm sure malcom glazer prob has lobbied for it

GOOD HEAVENS this sea/cle game is unwatchable

this chris johnson is another dude right, like the other adrian peterson?

how the hell are the titans 3-2

how the hell were they favored over the texans?

god, foster is crazy good

you know, if my job was to go to the set of nfl network and talk about football all day, i might actually like mornings a little bit.

Ben Tate pretty good too

Chris Johnson 10 Rush 18 Yards

what happened to this guy?!

i picked tennessee in that game. i still can't get quite adjust to an nfl in which houston win away from home.

CJ looks depressed

lotta ppl picked tenn 2 win this game including peter king & bill simmons iirc

lol, denver has more punts than passing yards.

fox halftime: "and it's ALL MIAMI.. well, it's six to nothing.. well, it's not much of a football game, really"

made a bet prior to the season that houston would sweep the division, still feel pretty good about it

foster's bow celebration is a pretty nice bit of trolling

there's a serious chance tebow finishes this game with less than 10 pass attempts, which HAS to be a record right?

at least like, post-merger

bucs that was a fuckin chump run you just got sold on. what happened to that D

good grief redskins hand it off to hightower don't pass

james anderson is a lunatic

javon ringer>chris johnson.

every time tebow throws the ball i feel like there should be tumbleweed rolling across the pitch afterwards

this may be the worst NFL game i've ever watched.

if denver doesn't pull tebow for orton, i will suspect they're trying to throw this game, to better their chances of securing the no. 1 pick.

xp that could describe like 5 diff games rite now

oh jeez rip matt ryans ankle

matt cryin

matty iced

RIP

who is their back up again? redman?

method man

jeez i can't believe that didn't hurt ryan more

great, hightower's knee is messed up, torain comes in and loses 6 yards

tim tebow should maybe play a different position

TOUCHDOWN, washington redskins

lotta beckgruber fans in carolina

ok since megatron hasn't caught anything i'm going to have to start watching this miami/denver disaster

and we're going for 2?

lol

BEHOLD, DENVER BRONCOS AND GATHERED MIAMI FANS, BEHOLD AND COWER BEFORE THIS OFFENSIVE JUGGERNAUT

<3 steve smith

aww san diego, don't you dare fuck this up

seriously

come on, phil riv

wow you guys are rooting for phil rivers now huh

well, it's against the jets

"wow"

phil rivers is cute now fyi

fucking san diego

bills play in the afc east btw i will root against the jets and pats all day long. fuck the jets, also

i hope sidney rice is enjoying that money

MEGATROOONNNN

remember when arian foster didn't get drafted?

well about time Calvin did something

omfg just score a touchdown, seattle

aw, that seattle FG should've hit the posts and then the posts should've fell down and killed everyone

haha

loll

i just checked the seahawks-browns score and might i add: lol

THE BURNER

MEGATRON! d'oh, the moment i switched to the other game

steve smith is amazing

oh for the love of god, matt hasslebeck

today is the perfect example of why i'd never ever own nfl season tickets unless i was a millionaire

JAKE LOCKER TIME

OMG PLZ

god, matt ryan

remember when people thought matt ryan was good?

today's games have totally turned me into peanutfreemom. i'm just sitting here staring at my screen going "um, hello" as quarterbacks throw awful interceptions

san diego has no pass protection at all

raiders starting QB still unknown

cameron newton

man, steve smith

right time, right place revis

man, detroit is gonna pull another one out, aren't they

LET THE JOE MCKNIGHT ERA BEGIN

a lot of football players aren't that good at football

that's what happens when half the NFL is injured

hey tebow got them a touchdown!

fucking jets

holy fuck the same shitty back has been killed by burress for all 3 TDs. maybe time for an adjustment?

the jets having renewed faith that plaxico isn't an old ass 33 yr old WR will only lead to bad things tho

518-148 total yds in hous v tenn btw

the red zone guy uses "stiffen" way too much

chargers special teams r u for realz

i guarantee denver goes 3 and out after that onside kick

oh sorry nfl.com lied to me

beck actually doesn't look terrible. Not much talent around him.

i bet they score but miss the 2 pt conversion on some super tebow-esque play

oh phil

this blows

c'mon rivers

well i was almost right

like, how the hell do you let tim tebow run a qb draw on you

lolololololololol.

tebow chants lol

wow plexiglass caught three touchdowns?!
meanwhile, chris johnson 18 rush 27 yards

EthanJSkolnick Ethan Skolnick -- Like I was saying earlier, Tim Tebow will be the mold by which all others QBs are measured.

"Tim Tebow Time strikes again"

it really is hilarious that tebow went in the first round, gets all the benefit of the doubt in any circumstance, and Terrell Pryor went in the 3rd round and may be converted to WR.

detroit going to win this game aren't they

omg i just saw the replay they really did let tebow run a draw for 2! what the hell!

tebow is just crappy enough to come back in games in clutch fashion against shitty teams.

plz chargres

a tie is definitely in the wheelhouse here

the fuck are the chargers doing

no clue

well, beck just turned into rex grossman again

so mad about this dam game

rivers is workin on his completion percentage

wow terrell pryor wildcat first series, false starts

is phillip rivers high

rivs didnt know what down it was

that should not have gone down like that

i'm mad

calvin just got stuck

you don't get many games as compelling as that seahawks/browns one, folks

oh dear, boller pick 6

o not calvin i guess

bolllollololler

blech, josh freeman

dolphins-broncos is gonna be a tie

just have carson run the 8 plays he knows?

is tim tebow the only QB in this goddamn league who can run a 2 min offense???

pryor & palmer should be the only qbs on the field

i don't care if the browns win every game i will not watch football anymore if i have to endure what i saw today

good job, pettigrew

LOTS of derp going on today

the dream is alive.

what the fuck is john fox doing

"let's settle for a 50 yard field goal attempt for our kicker that has missed two FGs already today"

a wise strategy, it seems.

now we have to hear about tebow for days Q_Q

well not really, him & denver are still terrible

gonna have to hear about tebow's grit and determination to overcome his shittiness for at least another week lol xpost

lions @ denver next week

dolphins/rams/colts are in a death race for andrew luck

aaron rodgers is playing now. everyone just be cool.

are you fucking kidding me boller

god, they probably have to throw Palmer in there now right?

i mean jesus christ dude, just hand the ball to the running backs and don't make any mistakes.

he has more completions to the chiefs then the raiders

mcfadden is out with an ankle injury too.

"how about that late magic by tebow"

they showed him praying :(

Palmer chants...

Jason Smith appears to have suffered a serious head injury.

i think 2/3 of the crowd at the cardinals' home field are actually steeler fans

this is some christian ponder honeymoon game here

today's games are filling me with sadness

aaron rodgers sack (by allen) is def a sad thing to see

sooo is the groin kick gif on its way or

well, I think we're gonna get carson palmer after halftime...

i'm kind of stunned that Boller is THIS bad.

maybe hue could just call some plays that are leftovers from cincinnati?

oh dear god more boller

lol @ carson p

ap is still the best

what happened to the raiders?

jason campbell = mvp

boller had one of the worst games in the history of the NFL, Palmer screwed up the timing on a couple routes (understandably)

2nd Palmer INT prob. should have been caught by Moore.

also mcfadden got hurt.

:(

today's games were not good

I kinda don't know what Hue Jackson should have done. Obviously based on this Palmer would have been a better option in general, but he's clearly uncomfortable with the timing on the plays... so it would have been a really crazy decision to start him. Maybe Hue should have tossed him in after the second Boller pick though.

I imagine Boller will be cut.

they should just throw pryor in there, what the hell

ponder just led a fuck of a drive

demarco murray srsly has 235 yds rushing ?

over 250 now

cowboys record

dan martin: what's your headline for week 7, rodney?

rodney: the tennessee titans: they quit!

the titans game was the saddest thing in a day of sad things.

this day was just awful quarterbacking, injuries, and blowouts.

you must have missed the epic quarterback struggle in miami.

Jordan I think you are really underestimating how much Tebow talk we're gonna have this week.

i just slept thru the entire second slot of games, which seems like a good decision in retrospect

maybe you're right, matt. he still didn't even actually play that well.

are you guys ready for this SUPERBOWL REMATCH?

lol ;_; it used to be at least when the bills had a bye i could look forward to peyty

sean payton is awesome

why are they pretending to be surprised that a norv turner offense can't get their act together when they're down one score and the clock is running out

because i feel like i've watched the chargers screw up like that in about 20 games?

dallas clark just called curtis painter a "delicate flower"

tony dungy: you weren't as hard on curtis as peyton was on you?

dallas clark: LORD NO!

Wow Rodgers nearly had a day in which all his incomplete passes were either drops or spiked balls

in other news, the combined rating of all three QBs in the chiefs-raiders game was 77.9

Been avoiding the board out of dejection, but feeling good about ponders first start.

Some dumb throws but a lot of good ones and showed poise. I thought we'd get blown out

even his dumb throws were accurate, if you know what I mean.

Yeah they weren't even the worst reads he just doesn't quite get how routes can get jumped, but I'm happy overall

I guess we can officially say Darrius Heyward-Bey is an ok NFL receiver? Maybe... BETTER than ok?!?!?

lol painter

what just happened

it looked like the saints re-fumbled and the refs blew it dead for no reason

what the hell, guards tell the center to snap it sometimes?

Had the misfortune to be at the Raiders/Chiefs today...ohhhhhhhhh woe is my sadface.

Boller was fucked from like throw 2. WHY OH WHY WOULD YOU ---ugh forget it.
Feel lousy for Palmer, it was way too soon to put him in but what the fuck else were they gonna do, start Lechler?

Oh and Pryor did go in right around the end of the 1st quarter, early in the 2nd: except he changed position right before the snap and drew an illegal motion flag. And that was the end of that, I didn't see him go in for the rest of the game.

This game, in a word: ffffffffffuuuuuuuuuuuuuu

Packers remind me of 98 vikings, just superhuman passing attack

Nfl.com top story calls game” latest chapter in the legend of Tebow”

fucking barffff

I'm not sure what the hell was going on with that play. Were they supposed to be faking them out and then doing a qb sneak and he just botched it?

was it on him or boller? looked like the flag was on boller to me

omg this game why i am i watching it?

the chemistry of collinsworth and michaels?

this is solely saints offense porn to me

i'm happy for sproles that he's on a team that knows how and wants to use him

xxposts: I thought the flag was on Pryor, but law of averages for that game it could have easily been Boller. Probably was. I have no idea what they were trying to do though.

my understanding was that it was on boller bcuz he was moving forward to sneak as he took the snap, which is illegal bcuz you can't motion forward

idk i only saw it on red zone or in highlights tho

I kinda wish Jim Harbaugh was coaching the Saints so they would go for 84-0

stepped away for a while - 28-0 and it's not even halftime yet? daaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaamnn

cheesy bacon bowls would def do a better job at slowing down saints offense

lol

so I came into the Sunday Night Football game "nursing" a nice comfortable 35 point league in fantasy, with my opponent only having Colston left to go.

of course Colston promptly gets 2 TDs in the first 10 minutes of the game. fml

and eff Indy too, worthless team

"coming up, bob costas on tim tebow"

NOPE

oh no, costas! can't we listen to harrison/dungy discuss whether or not suh is a dirty player for another segment

whitney is more annoying than the legend of tim tebow, possibly

ok what the fuck, the 10th anniversary of where in the world is matt lauer? That shit started in the 90s

whos better the saints or colts vote now

it's close

holy shit it's 62-7 now?!?!?

i don't know if i've ever seen anyone put up 62 points?!

october 2009 pats 59 titans 0 vs this game

hahahaha i stopped watching but ahahahahahahaha i hate you, indy

holy shit they have ten minutes of football left

new orleans saints, if you knock the redskins loss vs bears back in the 40s off the "worst loss of all time list" i will love you even more

guys what the fuuuuuck happened in this game

did someone hit the "emergency alert" button on the stadium after saints were up by 50

speed limit 65
indianapolis colts 7

haha

Caldwell HAS to be fired. Just HAS to. I mean this is pathetic

man i hope so

i think they're just gonna take a mulligan on this entire season -- i don't see the colts hiring from outside their staff until peyton leaves, and i'm not sure what the point of firing caldwell and hiring from within would be

is it true peyton manning is died

DYING

The Saints have scored 62 points tonight.

The Rams have scored 56 points the entire season.

holy fuck...

I guess it's dolphins vs. colts

http://30fps.mocksession.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/2011-October-23-22-28-41.jpg

it's "peyton," lady

i should be enjoying indy getting humiliated more but this was kind of like the iron shiek being quadriplegic and hulk hogan just waling on him for an hour

wouldn't this team be better off if they just fired Caldwell and let Manning coach? how could he be any worse?

they should let manning coach his own neck surgeries

i don't see how the dolphins win a game this year

They have KC and Washington coming up in Weeks 9 and 10. I'm guessing they won't be favored in either but those teams can definitely fuck up with the best of them. If they don't do that they're going on serious 0-16 watch though I guess they could have a chance vs. Carson Palmer and the Raiders

here are remaining opponents:

miami: @ nyg, @ kc, vs was, vs buf, @ dal, vs oak, vs phi, @ buf, @ ne, vs nyj

indy: @ ten, vs atl, vs jax, bye, vs car, @ ne, @ balt, vs ten, vs, hou, @ jax

stl: vs no, @ ari, @ cle, vs sea, vs ariz, @ sf, @ sea, vs cin @ pit, vs sf

the dolphins sched is insane

i'd peg the dolphins at 1-15 and indy at 2-14, the rams prob pull off three of those

wow Aaron Rodgers QB rating on the season is 122.4, nearly 20 points better than 2nd place (Tom Brady obv), with the rest fairly bunched together

like i said, i was in a voluntary coma for the afternoon games, but:

demarco murray, what the fuuuck?

was it like 3 weeks ago that i said that rodgers was by far the best player in the nfl and it's not even close?

bcuz he so totally is

ive only watched him once this year but he was just making every throw it was ridic

yeah i mean provided he stays healthy i'm pretty sure we're gonna be watching one of the best qb seasons in the history of the nfl

oh, and a big FUCK YOU to the san diego chargers

for some reason someone hasn't murdered steve mariucci yet?

hard to shake the idea that the Dolphins aren't firing Sparano because he's giving them a great chance of getting Luck.

also, for some reason deion sanders & michael irvin don't have a 2 hour PTI style show yet?

or an around the horn style show with chris webber & gary payton?

yeah, i mean... there's really no point in firing him. the season is over with, they could easily promote mike nolan, but i'm not sure what that would accomplish

its funny this andrew luck sweepstakes cause college qbs are everyone knows impossible to project

i know, that bothers me! i figured there's something insanely great about luck since i don't follow college football and wouldn't know but aren't there any number of historic busts? seems weird to talk about how indy should lose all their games, draft luck and TRADE PEYTY as though that's a sure thing.

i think the college game in many respects has gotten so close to the nfl that we might enter the era of the no bust qb

the only prospects with a comparable level of near-unanimity among scouts were Elway and Peyton Manning. So the track record is pretty strong.

okay fine

this is complete and utter revisionist history and i demand a retraction

right? hear, hear. cr?m ?tm!

who else compares? Palmer?

idk do u have a spreadsheet documenting all these scouts opinions

not that all qbs will be bradford & newton level stars but i think we're gonna move ahead of the 50% washout rate for first round qbs

omg over 50%! someone call the guinness book of world records

Luck is the most highly touted QB since Peyton and Peyton was the most highly touted since Elway. Just look at the relative frenzies over the number 1 picks in their respective drafts. There's a reason there's so much interest in the worst record this year compared to stafford's, palmer's, vick's years.

#confermationbias #anecdata

#tautology

fwiw, mel kiper says he's given Luck his second highest grade ever for a QB, behind Elway.

but, ryan leaf, right?

you know how many qbs there have been since then thatve been better than elway, a lot! and where was their top mel kiper ranking i ask you

wut

no, I do not know many QBs there have been since then that are better than Elway.

zero?

I would argue that Vick was higher touted than Peyton was. With Peyton people were not sure he would be better than Leaf (lol), but Vick was the clear #1 and arguably more of a sensation in college.

Sam Bradford was also the consensus #1 guy for multiple collegiate seasons.

oh now im talking to a dude who doesnt know how overrated elway is smh - there are at least two playing rite now! one of whom was selected in the 6th round iirc

Bradford sat out a year with a serious shoulder injury!

Yeah Vick was probably more highly touted than Peyton, but with more caveats.

Bradford sat out a year with a serious shoulder injury!

Yeah, but he was the top prospect the year before the injury, and the top prospect the year after it!

Stafford was the top prospect too. Players picked number 1 are usually the top prospect. Scouts rate Luck unusually high for a top prospect.

guys what r we even fighting abt everyone knows projecting college qbs to the pros is impossible

yes, didn't everybody always say that? like, five minutes ago?

its a well known fact borne out by mountains of data

there are even good and easily understandable reasons why

yes i recall watching a show once where the analysts went through all the reasons why!

ice cr?m was questioning my statement that scouts rate Luck as the best qb prospect since manning, and manning the best since Elway.

btw it's true that Leaf was just one notch below this level.

but i guess andrew luck changes all of that >:[

im still questioning it! the value of the scouts opinion and the existence altogether of this scout rating index!

do you guys think the colts should trade manning?!? that is what tony dungy apparently thinks!!! all because of andrew magic luck!!!

i mean who r these scouts, is it all of them, just mel kiper or what

according to wikipedia, "CBS Sports draft analyst Rob Rang called Luck the best prospect he has ever scouted."

r they the same scouts who rated manning, same ones who did elway, same ones who let brady slip to the 6th round

i assume so

mel kiper said jamarcus would revolutionize the quarterback position.

do you guys think the colts should trade manning?!? that is what tony dungy apparently thinks!!! all because of andrew magic luck!!!

― horseshoe, Monday, October 24, 2011 5:05 AM (3 minutes ago) Bookmark

man dungy says some weird shit

right??? we're in a fight!

tbf peyton manning is just a dead corpse now rip

not even tony dungys homophobic jesus can save him

i could see trading peyton if they somehow got a really sick haul for him, I guess.

but his value has to be so low right now

h8 u

xxp

tom brady died one time, but he came back!

I was absolutely sure that Cam Newton was being severely overvalued in the 2011 draft, and I turned out to be wrong on that. He picked up the pro game way faster than most people imagined he would (most people besides Ron Rivera, that is). There are still first round qbs who bust in the NFL, but I think the Jamarcus Russell fiasco really schooled every team in the league about being EXTRA careful about using a first overall pick on a qb.

its true tom brady did die, i guess there is still hope for peyton, prob just has to drink belichiks blood or w/e

one thing I find funny about the NFL draft is that it seems like whenever a player is touted as the "safest," "can't miss" player of the draft, he's a complete bust like 50% of the time. Robert Gallery, Aaron Curry, A.J. Hawk etc.

Maybe Mandarich too?

But sometimes the safest pick is actually way better than a safe pick and actually a superstar.

Like for example people gave the 49ers a ton of props for drafting a reliable linebacker in Patrick Willis, and he has been so much better than advertised. Plenty of examples of guys like that.

i'm not sure what ice cr?m's deal is itt

trading peyton manning would obv be insane, but if the colts do get the #1 pick they should def pick andrew luck even if it means that they'll undoubtedly be in a rodgers/favre (and to a lesser extent rivers/brees) dilemma like 2 or 3 years from now

i mean it's very unusual for one college prospect to be this highly touted -- it's extremely unusual, vick i think had lots of "he could revolutionize football!!" hype or w/e but i think there was a lot of ppl that legitimately questioned whether or not he could throw the ball. but there is literally zero doubt in everyone's mind (inside the nfl & out) that andrew luck would have AND should have been the number one pick for two straight drafts. that is not normal.

he could end up being a massive bust but it's really unlikely

we'll see how the three non-cam QBs from 11 turn out (i have hopes) but the track record since 08 of first round picks looks to be pretty good so far

08
matt ryan
joe flacco

09
matt stafford
mark sanchez

10
sam bradford
tim tebow

11
cam newton
jake locker
blaine gabbert
christian ponder

5 of those guys are already in the top half of QBs in the league, one is probably not that good but has been in two AFC title games, and the jury is out on the other four, but a few of them at least look okay

and if luck and barkley and landry jones all come out and all go in the top 13 or so... there could be a really huge influx of good young QBs in the league and that's not even counting someone like andy dalton or w/e. i think it's very possible that the college game has become so advanced (and i'm not even talking about like style of offense here) that there's not going to be many more russell and leinart and leaf and akili smith level busts going to be going forward.

but maybe i'm wrong! i guess we'll see

tebow & locker will prob throw my whole hypothesis off

luck's apparently already indicated that he may force a trade if he is drafted by a team for whom he doesn't want to play (like elway did). that's a nightmare scenario for the miami dolphins now.

uh i guess

i don't know why he would force a trade from miami

"i will only play for the kansas city chiefs"

i'm going to have to look around for it, but that's exactly what he (or his father, who manages luck's career) suggested.

not saying it will happen, obv., but it was enough of a suggestion to raise concerns locally.

one such story.

i guess

i'm just not exactly sure why he would refuse to play for the dolphins

because the organization has become a joke.

profootball.com's mike florio (not vouching for his qualifications): "This is where the selection of a new head coach, new general manager, these are all things that are going to be done with Andrew Luck in mind if the Dolphins 'earn' that first overall draft pick. I don't think Andrew Luck stays in school. I just think he tries dictating where he's going to go and tries to force a trade." foxsport.com's alex marvez: if the Dolphins drafted Stanford star quarterback Andrew Luck, there's a strong chance he wouldn't play for them.

it also has a pretty rich history, is in a nice place to live and the team itself has some decent players on it

i'm willing to bet that a lot of those rumors surfaced last year when it looked like he'd be going to carolina or buffalo or cincy

both the last two links are from interviews done in the past 10 days.

the other thing is that, by the way, a team doesn't have to trade him! he doesn't actually have a choice

he can't, for instance, stay in school?

he can certainly sulk, become a cancer to the team, and make clear he won't stay beyond his rookie contract.

i thought luck had another potential year in school.

the other thing is that there has to be a team in the top like... 5 picks that he would "force" a trade to, bcuz the dolphins (or whomever) would not trade down from one much further than that

so i guess that leaves him with, like, seattle or the colts

yeah he could stay in school but i don't see what that would do

i guess he'd be rolling the dice that a more "preferable" team would get the #1 pick, but it could also end up being the jaguars or the browns in which case he'd have lost a year of his life playing a worthless in college and that's if he doesn't injure himself or w/e

eli manning forced a trade from the chargers to the giants iirc. similar situation.

yeah, risk of injury is a big concern about staying an extra year in college.

right, but the situations are not exactly the same

for one, phillip rivers was available, so it kinda worked out for everyone. secondly, eli was obv considered a top pick (if not THE top pick) but he was not thought of as andrew luck is thought of.

i guess if he wants to stay on the west coast he could force his way to seattle or arizona but really he can have fun with that

if a team trades for him they're gonna have to give up a herschel walker or ricky williams type bounty to get him

he can certainly sulk, become a cancer to the team, and make clear he won't stay beyond his rookie contract.

― Daniel, Esq., Monday, October 24, 2011 2:54 AM (13 minutes ago) Bookmark

this is true, but it also means he wouldn't play a down in the nfl till he was 27

the acquiring team would have to give up a lot, i assume. but luck's attitude could damage the trading team's leverage (if he's really trashing the team that drafted him, it could force them to trade him, as opposed to the team just dangling him out there for a possible trade (which might still happen if, for instance, the rams get the top pick, but remain happy with sam bradford)).

the team with the first pick -- esp with the pick being andrew luck -- would still have a shit ton of leverage, bcuz they could very easily play the "we're gonna pick him anyway!" card

this is true, but it also means he wouldn't play a down in the nfl till he was 27

for comparison, aaron rodgers, who prob had the most protracted wait of any recent major qb prospect, had already won a super bowl at 26

by comparison, the colts got QB Mark Herrmann, rights to OL Chris Hinton and a first-round pick (OG Ron Solt) in the 1985 draft when elway forced his way out of baltimore (to denver). hardly fair value.

if andrew luck ends up being as good as ppl say he will be, then fair value would be like... 8 first round picks

i mean, however many first round picks it would take to trade for aaron rodgers basically

which i think right now would be around 20

right, but no-one's giving up that for luck. any trade value for the trading-team that's closer to what the colts got for elway would be disasterous.

well of course not -- but if carson palmer and eli manning were both round two first round picks, the team that has the #1 pick in the luck draft will demand at the outset at least double that

round worth

four no. 1 picks would be a powerful rebuilding tool, in the hands of a different regime. i assume the dolphins will totally clean-house in the offseason, i.e., fire sparano (for whom i feel badly) and ireland (for whom i wish a painful demise).

with this regime, i wouldn't trust four no. 1 picks to revive the franchise, unless one or more of them are -- like luck -- can't miss, once-a-generation players.

yeah well i think they're gonna have to get rid of ireland

but yeah... the current front office has had disastrous drafts

altho it looks like they might've hit on daniel thomas

otherwise i can't think of a good pick they've made, jake long aside

i'll give them credit too for plucking cam wake from the cfl

right. those are the three.

guys, no offense, but could we save this for next year and talk about this week's games instead?
*skims box scores*
never mind, carry on

i'm surprised Sparano hasn't been fired yet, but really, what's the point?

can i just say that there has never been a worse name for a quarterback than "blaine gabbert"
"blaine gabbert" is the oboe for the marching band. he is not the quarterback for an nfl franchise.

http://coedbc.files.wordpress.com/2011/06/gabbert-fishing-morning.jpg%3Fw%3D600%26h%3D350

yeah otm "blaine gabbert" makes me think of an attempt @ a pynchonesque character name by someone who writes for n+1

I dunno, "Ryan Leaf" and "Tim Couch" are pretty bad

i agree with barnwell this morning: of all of the sorry reasons that sparano should be canned, letting tim tebow run untouched up the middle to score a game-tying 2pt conversion is more than enough reason on its own

OMFG espn and espn2 were basically on ALL TIM TEBOW formats this morning

i just want to SCREAM

i've never been so personally invested in wanting another human being to fail

does anyone doubt that the Broncos would have won that game by 10+ with Kyle Orton?

btw, I *like* Tebow, but the way he's getting treated in the media is so puke-worthy

does anyone doubt that the Broncos would have won that game by 10+ with Kyle Orton?

oh yeah. make no mistake: the broncos consider themselves in the race for andrew luck, too, whether by abysmal record or by getting luck to force a trade to denver.

EthanJSkolnick -- Reflective, subdued Tony Sparano at his press conference today. Says he has heard from Parcells, other coaches in support of him.

i feel badly for sparano.

i really doubt the Colts are going to win 2 games so they're probably out of it already

does anyone doubt that the Broncos would have won that game by 10+ with Kyle Orton?

yes!

kyle orton is terrible, prob worse than tim tebow

"christian ponder"

oh, he is not. and i've seen more than my share.

sorry, xpost.

though that name sounds more like bunyan or something than pynchon to me

xp 2 myself

everyone needs to start understanding that the one year orton had with mcdaniels is the outlier year

haha christian ponder is so pilgrim's progress. christian ponder and the slough of despond.

tebow's qb rating yesterday was 91.7, orton's on the year is 75.7

so: no

it sounds like something a harsh mother would say in a depression movie after a kid steals something. "you sit right down and have yourself a good christian ponder about this"

i don't think that single game passer rating (or even tebow's season passer rating!) is indicative of much but then again orton isn't great either (though he did have three consecutive "ok" seasons that were better than terrible.) i think we should just sit back and enjoy the rest of this broncos season and hope for the best, which would be the worst for the broncos.

orton is of course terrible *now*

tebow's pretty bad too though, orton at least is a legit bottom-tier starter

lol, we were considering signing orton in the offseason as a "franchise quarterback."

orton would not have won that game 25-15

also it's worth nothing that in tebow's defense, the denver kicker missed two gimmme field goals that would've made the DRAMATIC COMEBACK unneccessary

in fairness, if our franchise quarterback -- chad henne -- had been playing, we would have won, 127 -- 10.

well, we definitely would have one. maybe 27-10

orton likely would win that game imo. there were wide open throws available for 6 at least 3 times. orton can read basic defenses, check down, and make basic nfl type throws.

at a certain level, i could give a fuck, because all i want to see is if tebow can be a legit nfl qb, i don't care if he wins right now.

but to say he's "better" than orton is at once irrelevant and wrong.

er, won

xp

he's at least roughly as terrible

btw, tebow will not ever be a legit nfl qb, but it will be fun watching his sandlot antics for 10 games. xpost

that was the problem with first 3.5 qtrs, more antics needed.

well, we definitely would have one.
____________________________

er, won

xp

i like it better the first way. implies that, with henne playing, we'd have had 1 point.

they each seem sort of terrible in unique ways

no, orton is terrible in a pretty generic way

well right, but tebow is not

yeah, if his flaws are pretty common ones. whereas tebows look more like "what is this thing in my hand? and can i pop it?"

er, ortons flaws are generic ones that is.

will be interesting to see if tebow can develop into a peak era vince young type, even if it's not with denver

i'm intrigued by his ability to no turn the ball over

i mean he can't pass for shit, but he could potentially be of use to a team w/ a good running game

well, lets see how he does next week vs a team that isn't a complete embarrassment. as good as he was for the last few minutes, the Fins shut them out for 53 minutes, and that's without him even turning the ball over. Tebow didn't even complete 50% vs. them.

yeah... the dolphins defense isn't atrocious tho

well they haven't gotten completely blown out of the water the way the Chiefs, Rams, and the Colts have. still when your best defensive performance is only allowing 17 points to the Cleveland Frowns you don't really have anything to be proud of.

our defense -- particularly our secondary -- has been pretty atrocious. but a lot of that apparently has to do with injuries. our big recent free-agent signings have been disappointments this year, too (tho i guess they can/will improve with time?).

the defense is just generally better than they have been, also the stats are a bit skewed by the pats putting up 523 points on opening night

sure, that's true (about week one v. NWE).

btw adrian peterson had 175 yards yesterday but no one seemed to notice!

he is amazing

and cute

there has been like a 15 minute Tebow debate on ESPN. Currently ongoing.

bold prediction: this game will be not bad.

prediction: i will watch zero seconds of this game

awww man

i was thinking 'blaine gabbert' sounds like one of the 85+ people who have been in the band pigface at some point

he did some remixes on invisible records and stuff, i dunno

both these teams have the same helmets ;_:

I hate the jaguars' color scheme

logo has grown on me though

"blaine gabbert" sounds like a gossip girl castmember imo

I think the jags got screwed on the spot here

little hercules!

so many ageless wonders in this game

hahaha "this is only their 7th trip to the raid zone" followed by cutesy retarded shovel pass

*red zone

the negating of penalties has to be the most byzantine and obtuse thing in the NFL rulebook

"you know, somewhere we'll all get those five minutes of our life back"

oh blaine

gabbert sux

brutal

eugene monroe sux

everyone sux

actually scobee is pretty good

the ravens D has been so good for so long, and their quarterbacks have been so bad for so long.

what happened to the Ravens airing it out deep?

these are some fun 3 and outs

i sort of enjoy watching flacco fail

me too; idk i am kind of loving this game?

maybe the colts-saints game is just making it look really good by comparison.

i should be watching the 2011 world series

i generally find the jags ludicrous, but i am enjoying their improbable not-losing-by-a-lot-yet

i saw this game yesterday in cleveland #groundhogday

haha poor brownie

these are two defenses playing really well; I'm enjoying this game.

we're not even seeing the full awfulness of the QBs because the defenses are so good.

lol flacco

bizarrely long game so far but as long as the jags can hold on to their 3-0 lead i'll be all smiles

o flacco, u are going down

i enjoyed that "here are all the many ways flacco's completion percentage is below average" infographic breakdown btw

maybe baltimore should trade 8 first rounders for luck.

wow O_O at that whole explanation from chucky just now

also jags fans are hilarious all filled with elation about a field goal.

in this game that was like scoring 3 touchdowns on one play.

yeah totally it just made me kind of sad for them in their teal wigs

he was down imo

ah there you go

this game is going to take 4+ more hours

it will! with all that jaguars smacking at the ball.

the jaguars are a smack-y team.

glaine babbert

laine bagbert

bert blabgaine

blert labgaine

seriously these defenses are just on fire

every time they do a replay from the qb's angle there's nothing open

is ray rice hungover?

all they're doing is running screens and the best case scenario is that the receiver gets tackled viciously for a 4 yard gain.

wtf @ ray rice

psyched out imo

hoo boy

this game rules btw

well that was something

4th and 43?!?!? record?

"and joe flacco completes the pass to.. joe flacco"

i don't think i've ever seen a defender deflect the ball back into the qb's arms before

dude ran down flacco like he was going to hogtie him

WHHHHOOOOOOO -- HOOOOOOOOOOOO jaguars don't want andrew luck
