first win watch:

miami 3/10 - giants look poor but they can function to some degree as a football team so does not look promising for the fins
indy 5/10 - divisional game so theoretically anything can happen. matt hass honeymoon might be over and they used to have a running back
st. louis 0/10 - new orleans could punt on 1st down every possession thru 3 quarters and they would still score the 10 points required to win in the 4th

Yep, Indy is the favorite to get their first win out of that group. They're only 9.5 point dogs.

I feel like Detroit at Denver is the one to watch. I know he's all anyone talks about but I really want to see Tim "The Toolman" Tebow succeed just to watch people's brains explode. If Detroit can't win their season is going to be in total freefall as their second half schedule is brutal.

shaun hill and drew stanton are both as good QBs as tebow, and if either had to play they have better weapons, so i can't see any scenario in which detroit doesn't win that game. and their d line will be revved up, so there is a chance tebow ends the day with his pal jesus in heaven.

i can't see any scenario in which detroit doesn't win that game

if they start an injured stafford they might

Meanwhile Brady’s heard all the talk about tight end Rob Gronkowski and his encounter with BiBi Jones over the weekend, and knowing his tight end as well as he does, he’s not exactly surprised.

“No, but I’ve heard,” said Brady when asked about the topic. ”He never ceases to amaze me. I would have guessed there would be pictures of him somehow with his shirt off, posing or something like that. I’m just glad, I’m no longer the one that people are making fun of on my team on a daily basis.”

Brady said that a visit with Belichick is probably in the 2nd year player’s future, although considering other things Gronk has done, apparently it’s not exactly the first time he’ll be making one.

“He’s used to that walk into coach’s office now,” said Brady. “He probably knows it’s coming.”

Brady also was asked about the jersey that was with Gronkowski that he apparently keeps for situations like the one that happened over the weekend, and apparently it’s something he was already aware of.

“The Gronkowski travel bag?” quipped Brady. ”The jersey, and the football to throw around at the pool at the Hard Rock. He has more fun than anybody. He doesn’t miss a fun day. Gronk is single, he’s young and he’s making his own decisions. It’s hard for coach … he talks to us every time we head out for an extended vacation about our decision-making. I’m sure he’ll have something to say to Rob. The players will probably be asking more details — the jersey that the girl was wearing or something like that.”

lol, Tom Brady OTM

I'm betting the conversation with kraft was a high five, a few laughs and then kraft gave him a prepared statement.

btw Matt why do you believe in the Chefs?

"Because they're playing the Chargers."

just a gut feeling.

so there is a chance tebow ends the day with his pal jesus in heaven.

this. i asked an office teboner how he would feel when timmeh gets paved a few times and ultimately doesn't answer, got a "that will never happen, tebow is built to take it."

this guy is kind of dumb:

The NFL has made Chris Cooley a millionaire many times over. During the NFL lockout, when he was banned from working with the Washington Redskins' training staff, he could've hired the best physical therapists around to help him with the left knee that was feeling stiff from surgery in January.

Instead, he figured he would handle it himself. He didn't think the knee was that bad.

It was a decision that essentially cost him a season, and maybe his career. The knee didn't recover. He missed almost all of training camp and muddled through five games, unable to run more than 10 yards without pain. He had the knee drained 15 times.

http://espn.go.com/nfl/story/_/id/7156235/washington-redskins-chris-cooley-ir-says-casualty-nfl-lockout

oh no, cooooooley. i knew he landed on IR again but not the whole story about it, although i was wondering a few weeks ago why he wasn't a little more concerned about losing his job because fred davis is having a v good season. redskins future does not look bright - hightower is done for the season too, and santana moss out for over a month, and then there's that QB issue..

i wouldn't be surprised if the redskins organization was less competent than most at contacting players during the offseason and before the lockout was in place to, you know, make sure they knew how to handle stuff like this?

"In 2010 only 17 percent of kickoffs went for touchbacks. Through the first six weeks of 2011 more than 50 percent (50.1%) of kickoffs have been downed or gone through the back of the end zone. In fact the total number of touchbacks in 2010 (416) was already eclipsed by the 2011 total after just six weeks (452)."

:(

Last week 9-4, Season 67-36

Arizona at Baltimore- The Cards have pretty much gone back to their norm of being just flat terrible. Bmore is a pretender to the crown. Defense is still good but man do they make dumb penalties at bad times. Offense is just not that good. Ravens.
Minnesota at Carolina- This is probably a pretty decent game to watch. It's pretty much pickem'. I guess Carolina at home.
Jacksonville at Houston- Jack Del Rio does know how to put together a defense, but his clubs are always really awkward on offense. You got to go Texans, by pedigree, but it's hard to believe in them as they have always waffled in these situation. Gimme Houston, but I wouldn't be surprised if Jville knocks them out in a fugly game to watch.
Miami at NY Giants- Giants better win considering their schedule is a witch for the next couple months, but they do sometime play down to their competition.
New Orleans at St. Louis- Got to go Saints, even though they have been upset in a couple of games against total dogs in the past 2-3 years.
Indianapolis at Tennessee- Wow this is a matchup between clubs that got their ass kicked hard last week. Indy got whooped more, but they were playing the Saints. I don't know...it's a stretch, but give me the Colts this time. Wow have both of these clubs fell, few years back this was a marquee matchup.
Detroit at Denver- I'm feeling a Lion swoon, especially if Stafford misses games. I can't buy the Broncos either though. Gimme the Lions but I don't feel good about it. I think the hoopla was a bit premature.
Washington at Buffalo- Both of these clubs definitely don't have the shine from week 2 or 3 now. Beck at least statistically didn't seem to play poor last week, though I didn't see the game. I guess take the Bills at home, but this game feels like a pickem contest. It might be a good game to watch.
Cincinnati at Seattle- Seattle is a tough place to play. Bengals D has been solid and Dalton is getting the job done. I'm going Bengals more on hope they do win more than I feel like they will win. Seahawks are not that good or at least they have some serious flaws on offense, but I'd believe they could win this one especially if the Bengals don't protect the ball.
Cleveland at San Francisco- 49ers have been beating the tar out of people, hard not to take them to win. Browns are a quiet 3-3, but when you have wins against the Colts, Dolphins and Seahawks (especially since that last one was fugly) - they don't inspire confidence.
New England at Pittsburgh- Can I just hope for a mean destructive game where both sides are completely decimated by injuries in the end? Other than the Packers, who seem to be channeling 80s SF right now for being totally efficient, the top of the NFL seems to have clubs that while obviously the best in the league, they got serious flaws. NE's defense gives up tons of yards. Pittsburgh is no longer getting the turnovers and their o-line is swiss cheese. This is a pickem, I have no idea who really to go with as either way you are dealing with the forces of evil. I guess Pats.
Dallas at Philadelphia- Another total pickem game with teams with talent and big flaws. I think in total Dallas is better overall, but they play so stupid at points. Eagles have big flaws. Whatever happened to DeSean Jackson? That guy has vanished. I want to go Cowboys, but I figure it's just too hard to go against the Eagles at home. ESPN won't shutup about the game either way.
San Diego at Kansas City- Speaking of clubs that have quietly gone 3-3, how about KC coming back from their first two weeks. I'd imagine Haley has had to go out and find a new dictionary of curses and swearwords from around the world to make that happen. SD last week got Norved. Rivers and that offense is just not cooking. I'm feeling Chiefs for no good reason other than it would make the division race interesting.

dying @ the last one on WEAK SIDE

uses blocks as he pleases without appreciating them

Brian Cushing is back on some good shit.

time to ban the giants!!

FATMAN BELLY FLOP

luke mccown time already in houston

gabbert's ribs got cracked

Miami up 7-0, now to predict in what way they'll surrender the lead back...

(it's not televised here this week and I'm making no attempt to watch it, GameChannel will suffice thank u)

how about that ravens offense

huh, glaine babbert died

with a Lions win today, they'll match the start they had w/ Kitna a few years ago where they finished 7-9.

really hope that doesn't happen...Lions in the playoffs would be a nice thing this year

Lions will be fine. Need to fix the o-line to become truly elite though.

I'm gonna go out on a limb and say Arian Foster is the best in the business.

get it together, giants

kinda wish I could see the Minnesota-Carolina game to see the young QB battle

flacco is bad

Oh boy! Vikings/Panthers, or Dolphins/Giants.

*shoots self*

o ya, hot gabbert torso action

watch cam newton, it's p fun

dude, as a Dolphins fan, I can't imagine anybody who would want to watch Dolphins-Giants, take the other one. bad teams, but exciting QB play!

sorry didn't mean to call you "dude"

i call female friends dude all the time shd I cut that out?

Yep, gonna switch over now.

RUN RICKY RUN

I call everyone dude

god I miss him so much ;_;

xpost

Houston has taken way longer than any other of the 1995-present expansion teams to make the playoffs. get it together, dudes!

houston is one of only three teams in the past decade to not make the playoffs. think the lions and bills are the other 2.

1 yard on 4 rushes for chris johnson.

sounds about right

surprised Chris Chase hasn't written 30 blogs with the quote "WORTH THE NEW DEAL?" in it...

man this is a pulse pounding day for the luck sweepstakes!

matt schaub 1 rush 2 yards 1 td
steve slaton 2 rush 1 yard 1 td

christ, joe flacco

the shitty thing is that prior to the season beginning this afternoon's lineup would have looked at least somewhat appetizing

what a catch by steve smith

great catch

oh my gawd steve smith

man that was gorgeous

nice touch by cam

as long as cam newton is qb, the panthers should never just be slamming the ball up the middle from inside the 1

hope miami kill the giants, that would be good tv.

Eli Manning is clearly a Jets double agent on a secret mission to keep Andrew Luck from going to the AFC East.

this is at least worth considering

I fear most of these games have reached tehir final scores already

is it just me or does jim caldwell never move his mouth

wow come on miami come thru for me here

the colts are gonna get andrew luck aren't they

they really are the worst team so I guess it's fair.

omg ravens

i will SO enjoy butthurt peyton manning if that happens

CAM

can we make cam the official heir to "he's just having fun out there"

jesus Cam!

can we talk about how the ravens lost to the jaguars

flacco 3/9 for 3 yards with a fumble lost

30 yards sry

has someone told Eli that the Giants aren't really in the running for Luck

i think at this point it's legitimate to discuss whether or not the ravens should be banned from the playoffs for losing to jacksonville

it moves beyond that phase if they lose to the football cardinals

can chris johnson not catch at all or what? why do they never pass to him?

i love patrick peterson.

oh loltimore

wb loltimore

patpete

baltimore was a 13 point favorite.

PAT PETERSEN

he might be the second best returner in the league.

weird games going on

holy shit flacco

come on they have to give up on him this season right

omg jaguars with an awesome couple of laterals on a fumble recovery

okay lol at xtian ponder

baltimore imploding

ok texans might lose

dying @ the fatman laterals

jags cornerbacks are legit

that jags fumble play was like rugby. what in the world did they think they were doing.

I'm a huge advocate of laterals on plays like that

throw it to someone who is faster.

this is only going to lead to massive disappointment for the rams

from espn

Andy Reid's Philadelphia Eagles teams are 12-0 in games immediately following bye weeks. That's a large enough sample size; the record can't be written off as a fluke or a lucky streak.

as much as i'd like to believe that...

i don't think that's a large enough sample size at all!

exactly :/

who broke chris johnson

i dunno i think it is -- the sample is 12 YEARS btw, that seems like a decent enough span of time

jesus some of these scores today are O_O

i have no idea what that second sentence is even trying to mean

i mean he isn't one of those average qbs who plays consistently average. he makes some really superb plays and he makes some really boneheaded plays. i don't know if anyone else works the extremes the way he does. it really wasn't that challenging to understand...

I think you could draw shitty teams after your bye week 10/12 years.

i mean in football 12 games is 75% of an entire season, that's a strong sample size

my miami friends are probably hoping the giants pull this one out, but i gotta root hard for miami today. irony!

i really have no idea wtf is happening today

I guess I should waive chris johnson

has there ever been such an inexplicable meteoric fall of a RB like CJ this year?

oh, it's explicable.

he's the haynesworth of RBs.

your theory is that he got lazy bc he got a big payday?

yeah, seems pretty clear

dude just lays down at first contact

well it happens all the time to running backs (i.e. shaun alexander, larry johnson) but not someone at CJ's age

but also generally there's a decline, no? this is such a sudden drop

another td for 2008 obama

cj is just not working for extra yards ever. That used to be why he was special-- a speed guy who also could get yac.

the saints are getting straight up dominated.

really wonder how much sean payton not being on the sidelines has fucked them

guys saints-rams !!!

dolphins tackling really strong today.

waht?

dolphins-giants just had the worst play in nfl history

eli attempts a left handed pass that goes .5 yards, two dolphins attempting to sack him collide w/ each other and both get injured

who is the nfl mvp: aj feeley or matt moore?

blaine gabbert just said motherfucker on mic

omg that saints 3 and out just now. is that what's happened this whole game?

is the rams d good?

why did n.o. run three running plays?

what happened? i am confused.

saints are punting this game

no the rams d is not good

haha i thought not!

i'm gonna watch the shit out of 60 mins tonight

is drew brees's throwing hand injured or something???

it's not like saints-rams is a trap game for the saints. this is really just a game you need to be able to win (or at least score some points in!) if you're a good team.

yah this sux

how have the pats used so many draft picks on the secondary and yet..

it's really a top to bottom problem tho. they still can't rush the passer at all.

i wonder when the last time was that NE didn't drive the ball into the red zone once all game

they actually haven't played horribly they've just been on the field way too long

ugh bad throw tom

ocho slowmo

100 yard pick six for god's son

it is gonna fucking rule when tebow pulls this one back

what a day for kickers

feel like the pats are gonna score in about 3 mins here

8 completions from 25 attempts is really something

how can they possibly start him next week

its an AJ Feeley world...we're all just living in it

i'm not watching the Broncos anymore but are they booing Tebow yet?

tebow to eric decker is TOTALLY giving me flashbacks of elway to mccaffery

nah man, he just got a TD, comeback is on

xp

BB should have challenged

both of those throws coulda been tds

hahah what in the world

who was that even for

they haven't given us a single replay on the gronk one

they just did, it was a td

lol, a foot over the line

a minute and a half burned for nothing

yup

this thing where the nfl doesn't review "scoring plays" if the guy goes down at the .0005 inch line really needs to be changed

also, horrible call by the line judges to not give him the TD

seems like they had a play and made a conscious decision to try and stick with the hurry up

not smart by the pats at all

are you fucking serious

wah wah wah

that was the year everyone went 9-7

yeah they didn't even make the playoffs that year

this game has been interesting. the steelers have clearly played a lot more man press than the patriots were ready for and i wonder how much of that is informed by their missing linebackers? like if they had more healthy starters would they have done the same crap they always do and gotten burned by brady again?

btw i loved earlier in the game where nantz & simms were gargling ben's balls about how he wanted to be a coach and they were all like "oh, he wants to be a high school coach! to teach kids! what a guy!!!" which i'm suuuuuuuuuuuuuure is the exact reason why ben roetlisberger wants to be hanging around a high school in his 40s

Tebow's passes all looked so bad.

things we knew going into today:

st louis has the worst offense in football
the bills have no defense
new england has an unstoppable offense
baltimore has a shutdown defense
tim tebow is just a winner

when was the last time that the pats didn't win the division

you think the bills are taking it?

what are you trying to say???

heck yes you can drop kick!

afaict the bills still have no defense it's just that every single skilled offensive player for the redskins is hurt (except john beck, and the verdict is still out on him)

re: cincinatti, their defense is really good, i think

looking at the sched, 49ers could easily go 13 wins. they are def my new nfc rooting interest.

are they even good?

yeah, they have a great defense - looking like the best MLB pair in the league and a couple free agent pick ups in the secondary that are really paying off. on offense they have one of the best RBs in the league and a top TE, and a QB that for the first time in his career can move the ball a little, and who crucially isn't turning it over.

whoa rodney just said george wilson should be dpoy. i love wilson but i don't know about all that.

wow that was the worst nfl onside kick i've ever seen pats

yesssss

chris johnson now splits carries with javon ringer. Ringer gained almost twice as many yards on the same number of carries.

the cowboys are still having trouble with the snaps

tony romo getting sacked, the football equivalent of an inhaler

what is happening i just lost power

YEEHAW

eagles up 14-0

lol @ dallas

LOL ONLY THE COWBOYS

that is a spectacular drop right there

that was athletic like fuck

martellus bennett is gonna get his ass cut

that's great! if you're not going to catch it why not tip the football to asomugha

jesus christ, michael

that was really really stupid by Vick

when vick is on his game, he's the best player in the nfl after aaron rodgers and one of the most enjoyable athletes to watch ever

woo! this is a game that a philly fan can enjoy!!

yeah this is fun

this is a straight colonoscopy

always fun to watch a cowboys beatdown

hoping for more ridiculous turnovers soon

i can't believe reid's totally nonsensical after the bye stat is going to remain perfect!

ok romo throw it to asomugha again plz

it really isn't nonsensical

how could that possibly mean something? reid, of every coach in nfl history, somehow has the incredible ability to coach his teams into playing significantly better the game right after the bye, but we don't see any correlation between that feat and other games?

like what skill would make you an above average coach (let's say) for all the rest of the games, but the greatest coach of all time for this one particular game each season?

i don't see why being able to utilize a week off of playing is somehow not a skill that one could possess

like what skill would make you an above average coach (let's say) for all the rest of the games, but the greatest coach of all time for this one particular game each season?

― Mordy, Sunday, October 30, 2011 9:21 PM (54 seconds ago) Bookmark

because you're really good at utilizing that week off................

that's for sure a legit skill, but you'd expect many talented coach to have it. why is reid's record so much more impressive (assuming that it is actually statistically significant and not just a small sample size)?

like what accounts for his superhuman ability to utilize that extra week?

this just reads like andy reid fatalism to me... mordy i guarantee you if reid 0-12 after a bye week you would not be sitting here going "ah well, it's just like any other game! it doesn't mean anything!!"

out of bounds

if reid was 0-12 after a bye week the entire city of philadelphia would've spent this week huddled in their basements in fear

idk, i think i would probably feel more repressed by that stat but i'd like to think i'd be clear-headed enough to question whether it means anything predictive

like what accounts for his superhuman ability to utilize that extra week?

― Mordy, Sunday, October 30, 2011 9:24 PM (1 minute ago) Bookmark

i don't know! i'm sure whatever it is that he's not rushing to let the entire NFL know what his bye week strategies are

altho an easy guess would be that he's very good at game planning with an entire extra week to devote to a certain team? like how is that not completely plausible?

it's also plausible that the fact that he usually coaches an over .500 team + the randomness of post-bye week matchups could mean that 12-0 is within the margin of error.

i guess it's possible he has some special trick, and i'm very curious to find out one day what it is. it just doesn't make logical sense to me absent whatever that trick is. like, on the face of it, it's more likely that it's a small sample size. otherwise i'd expect utilizing a bye week to correlate with other coaching skills and i'd wonder why reid uniquely has gone 12-0 and not other great coaches that certainly have relatable skills.

2010: indy (10-6)
2009: tampa bay (3-13)
2008: atlanta (11-5)
2007: nyj (4-12)
2006: washington (5-11)
2005: san diego (9-7)
2004: carolina (7-9)
2003: buffalo (6-10)
2002: tampa bay (12-4)
2001: nyg (7-9)
2000: cincinnati (4-12)
1999: st. louis (13-3)*

*this was the last week of the season, rams likely had little to play for.

if they were like 8-0 after bye weeks against playoff teams that would be sexy.

i'll say it again, 75% of a season is a pretty decent sample

idk; simpler things like turnover differential don't correct themselves over the course of a full season all the time.

i think the season is too short really for even 75% of it to be substantial enough

? = andy reid obv

otherwise i'd expect utilizing a bye week to correlate with other coaching skills

it does! andy reid is a very good head football coach. this isn't like if eric mangini or something was undefeated after bye weeks.

i can't help but feel like a romoception is coming...

this is just...

this is too much

this guy, murray

run the benny hill play dallas!

they have no idea what to do right now

oh hey it's bob costas! *throws computer out of the window*

ok the cowboys centers are just plain bad at snapping the ball.

waht why would that be a backward pass

biggest shock of the game: andy is gonna earn himself a third challenge!

it was obv a forward pass, ref misspoke (bc he said that philly keeps possession) but bc he misspoke call on the field i guess is a fumble?

"and bc philadelphia has two successful challenges this season, they will have a third."

misspoken, but true in spirit

he said "this evening"

oh lol, i misheard then

131.6 QB rating for Vick tnite

16-for-23 for 235 yards and two TDs

i think romo is a really good QB, but i do wonder at what time jerry jones gets too impatient with him

nfc east, man. smdh

thank god for the nfc east otherwise eagles would already be out of this thing.

lol dallas giving up p much a first down on 3rd and long on a dump off to the TE

dallas kind of gave up on this game midway through the second quarter didn't they

I think he'll just draft a QB at some point. Trading him really isn't an option when the backup is kitna.

shady is absurd

matt i agree with you but couldn't you see jerry just being like "fuck this" and trading romo & a third round pick into the top 3 to pick landry jones?

i think shady is my favorite eagle

he's rapidly becoming one of my favorite players

this is otm

freemaneric
McCoy is what I thought Reggie Bush would be.

maclin great too obv

good thing I got Romo in my league

hate to be THAT GUY but vick shouldn't be in this game

right on cue

no, i agree

give young some reps

fuck, give the ballboy some reps, just get vick out of there

this division is so weird, I have no idea who's the best team but they all look kinda shit right now

that's how this division is every year

I actually am thinking he makes a move to get robert griffin III if he slips. Jerry's type of player and won't cost romo.

that's a very good theory

babbin is having a hell of a season

i love that dez bryant, who went broke basically immediately upon entering the nfl largely because of his obsession with buying jewelery, is rocking massive diamonds in his ears tonight

VICK IS FIGHTING PARROTS NOW

/everyone

is cris collinsworth not going to question why both teams are still playing their starters right now?

lol philly took a timeout

remember when this looked like the game of the week

well it still was, in one sense

love mike tomlin so much

ok it's amazing that romo is in on this series

i have no idea what is going on

remember when this looked like the game of the week

we still have chargers vs chiefs to look forward to!

espn needs to drop out of the primetime football game this year

hey man, chargers-chiefs is an important divisional battle

sadly that isn't a joke

aw <3<3 shady <3<3

"why does the eagles 3-4 seem so much hopeful?"

maybe bcuz they just trashed the cowboys 34-7? idk just spitballing here

beck was sacked 9 times o_O

L. Fletcher is good - 20 tackles - 12 solo/8 ast, .5 sack, 1 int

interesting trade idea:

Ponder, ADP, Jared Allen, and a 1st for Cam Newton
think this could benefit both teams

can I just say LOL INFINITY @ PATRITOS

no

man i need to start betting again, so I can bet on Miami beating the spread in the 1st half of every game, and the opponent covering in the second half.

Its been a ridiculous season for gambling. I bet the under on the Saints/Rams, figuring a final of 31-3. The Rams are averaging less than 10 points a game!

the problem with football betting is just how quickly a few small weird events can skew a score (ie, two quick turnovers, and a usually offensive deficient team scores two TDs off of it). unlike say, basketball, where a little spurt by one team may even out down the line (partially why I made a killing betting on b-ball).

AP still number 1 i rushing yards! had a great day as a receiver too.

i think it's funny to watch chris johnson. every year there's some player that jumps up and ppl are like "oh he's the better than AP" then watch where he is next year...AP is always right there contending in the top 5 for rushing year after year, he is the fucking greatest

a good step for Ponder, he has some stuff to work on but I'm feeling optimistic

was fun to really see Cam play a full game...dude is going to be fucking amazing, i mean p much amazing as is, but yeah with a couple more seasons, wow.

yeah, the fact that the Panthers "only" have a -20 point differential to this point despite being completely awful on defense (last year, they were -212) is really a reflection on how good Cam's been this far.

AP is kinda tomlinson 2.0 ain't he

I watched LDT a lot and honestly AP is better.

As a runner, I mean. LDT was great in the passing game.

AP is just as fast but MUCH stronger than Tomlinson was. Tomlinson didn't break a lot of tackles.

i watched LDT a lot and i probably have only seen ten or so games with peterson and based on that small sample size, he's a little fluky in comparison. I've seen monster games and i've seen games where he's made 100 yards seem difficult as hell to achieve. again, i think this is more a matter of not seeing him play enough (lol east coast)

Peterson doesn't seem like he's even having that good of a year this year but yet he's on pace for 1600 yards.

I'm probably not giving LDT enough credit, looking back at all the yards he piled up. But A Pete is so much more upright and muscular. He's got that Dickerson upright style, but he sheds blockers like a Jamal Lewis or somefin.

tacklers, not blockers.

Tim Tebow got thrown to the (Detroit) Lions

nice one

http://www.denverpost.com/broncos/ci_19228711?source=rss&utm_source=dlvr.it&utm_medium=twitter

yeah i think when you look at pure rb form it's hard to find anyone from the last decade plus who looks as good as a pete

"I want Tebow to know no disrespect to God or anybody, just having a little fun with it."

Hey, intangibles are awesome, but rarely prove to be as valuable to any quarterback as a discernable talent such as hitting a wide open receiver in the end zone.

massive lol

fyi

petes:
167 rush

We knew all week that if we brought any kind of defensive pressure, he couldn’t do anything. In the second half it got boring out there. We were like, ‘Come on – that’s your quarterback? Seriously?’ ”

mccoy also has 48 first downs to peterson's 40 - the next runner has 33

i'm trying to think of a reason he's not the best runner in the league but i'm not thinking of one ; )

mccoy has been the best running back in the nfl THIS YEAR, definitely

but he's still got a long way to reach a pete

http://snl.jt.org/caps/episode_sketches/1993-12-04-15.jpg

kevin otm re o line worries but having vick as a potential scramble option is undoubtedly giving him a leg up that AP ain't got

"We just wanted to make him be a quarterback," said Houston, who revealed the defensive game plan was based on the Lions' steadfast belief that Tebow was incapable of moving the Broncos to a score by completing six consecutive passes in any drive. "We had somebody take away his legs and made him use his arm."

that strategy very much reminds me of the way the humans defeated the aliens in Signs

having vick as a potential scramble option is undoubtedly giving him a leg up that AP ain't got

a factor that keeps from the best title maybe, but not pretty damn awesome.

glad i didn't draft him this year, i'd had rivers on at least one of my fantasy teams for several years running.

this game is bananas

huh

that one bomb from rivers to jackson that almost got intercepted (a couple plays before the last lolception) was seriously so bad. it wasn't just that he threw it poorly. it was like he just didn't notice that his guy was completely covered

he's ahead of kyle boller's INT pace

KC chiefs: 8 interceptions in 5 quarters.

so antonio garay has a pumpkin painted on the back of his head

Haley is such a freak. I know it is a thing on here, but EVERY time they show him he is either going FU or Gdmit.

This is the worst game of the weekend (of those I've watched).

that 9ers tackle eligible play was cool

all of the running backs in this game blow

tho i do have a soft spot for guys who go by "jackie"

this game is a real slog

NO REALLY WHO KIDNAPPED THE REAL PHILLIP RIVERS

these SD WR's and RB's run the line really well. they all seem to do this thing where when they hit resistance they shove back in and grab a few more yards. i don't think i've ever seen eagles runners do that particular thing... (i might just be making stuff up bc i'm really tired but it seems like they're doing something special that they've maybe been coached to do?)

man battle really sucks

mike tirico did just say "aranus" right

OH MATT CASSELL

this game is batshit

man that was a quacker from cassell

F*** IT GO DEEP

did we get any haley.gif moments in the first three quarters that i missed? this is absurd

matt cassell fucking sucks

him and kevin kolb and both of their $50 m contracts should be shot to the moon

all i can say is thank god for vick or i'd be watching kolb every sunday

it would not be right or fair for the chargers to win this game

No, you'd have quit watching by now. xp

do games still end in ties w/ the new overtime rules?

(or do all the new rules only ever apply to the playoffs?)

good lord, tamba hali

still regular season ties, but no ties in the post season

the tragic thing about cassell is that with a good QB this team could really make some noise.

their defense seems surprisingly good

maybe not surprising. just surprising to me since i haven't seen KC play since last year

the two corners are studs, hali is a superstar.

the kolb thing is a fireable offense

he was acquired in the same off season as cam newton and kolb is getting paid DOUBLE him

Don't think the Kolb deal would've happened the way it happened in any other offseason.

who's the next one? Ryan Mallett?

AZ was panicky and he was (what seemed like) the best option.

also, i think reid really sold kolb well. i don't think kolb ever showed on the field what ppl apparently believed he was capable of

Fitzgerald wanted him, too. Never figured that out.
