1 play, 0 yards, 0:00 - Fumble Recovery (Opponent) NFL 2011 Week 8

Arizona at Baltimore
Minnesota at Carolina
Jacksonville at Houston
Miami at NY Giants
New Orleans at St. Louis
Indianapolis at Tennessee
Detroit at Denver
Washington at Buffalo
Cincinnati at Seattle

New England at Pittsburgh
Dallas at Philadelphia
San Diego at Kansas City

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.

fuckin patritos--wtf did gronk do exactly? that's bullshit imo.

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."

even if stafford doesn't play, i don't see any fucking way how den could win, but ~miracles happen~

tamtam still has the pats on track for 0-16. bold. in previous years that was known as "omar littling"

who is Michael and why does he not know it's an abortion

fuckin patritos--wtf did gronk do exactly?

a porn star, apparently

(more seriously, he got called in because she tweeted pix of herself wearing his jersey while with him, it's basically a "please think before you link our brand to porn stars" conversation)

supplementary crying because the jersey has MHK on it so it's akin to drawing tits on myra kraft's gravestone

lol have i really picked against the pats every week? believe me, i've given this minimal thought. pittsburgh's tough at home!

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

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

The Tragedy of Scott Pioli

kolb on the other hand is just more like wtf lol

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.

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

right but after they traded for him i don't think they were forced to lock him up 6 yr 65 m contract

btw, classic gruden: "the chiefs are rotating backs like i've never seen"

why does haley like thomas jones

is that rachel nichols on the sidelines? is she sick? she sounded like he's a 64 year old smoker

RIP

i like looking at rachel nichols

one of the funniest thing ever is to watch rachel nichols on mute. she's gesticulates to an absurd degree.

she always has really cute cold weather outfits

picking out the worst norv turner loss is like picking the prettiest Vermeer painting.

Rivers looked cute with the helmet drawn over his eyes.

"little wise one?"

#chemistry

Rachel Nichols looks completely different in profile.

man that ending was straight out of a Buffalo Wild Wings commercial

It is very frustrating being a Chargers fan sometimes.

c'mon man facebook brings it home

taking too long to load here, is that the "worst game ever" moment? because i laughed my ass off when espn ran that.

worst day ever i think

yah, you're right

hearing that in napoleon dynamite's voice

it's actually funnier; implies that bad stuff was happening even before the game
