lol I was just looking back at this season's thread titles and realized I'd already forgotten about the replacement refs. That shit seems like it was three seasons ago.

Johnny Fever, Thursday, 13 December 2012 03:20 (twelve years ago)

I'm going to the Falcons-Giants game. Huge game for both teams, Falcons for respect, Giants to actually make the playoffs. Cant wait.

This is a great week of football, by the way. Killer games abound.

do we really want 16 playoff teams? we're already in a world where the 7-9 Seahawks can win a playoff game. let's turn this into the NBA where top-tier teams don't even have to try!

call all destroyer, Thursday, 13 December 2012 17:18 (twelve years ago)

there is clearly just constant pressure from some of the owners who are determined to eviscerate the golden goose. there is definitely a rich business guy mentality of 'i don't mind if we all get less overall as long as i get a bigger share of it' - preferring 2 dollars out of 5 over 5 dollars out of 50

eagles are an example of what happens when you don't have an offensive line, a secondary, or a qb and you do have andy reid

I think celebrating their second quarter performance by rolling in duck fat was a bad idea on the Eagles' part

pun lovin criminal (polyphonic), Tuesday, 18 December 2012 05:07 (twelve years ago)

Sanchez is grossman minus the chipmunk cheeked loveability and w more incompetence

LIKE If you are against racism (omar little), Tuesday, 18 December 2012 05:08 (twelve years ago)

Dont know about the lovability, but he's sure a lot more incompetent.

When Tebow went in Gruden specifically said "I'd like to see Tebow throw some". Then two plays later he was criticizing the fact he was in there. Strange.

Sanchez should ride pine the remaining two games.

One Way Ticket on the 1277 Express (Bill Magill), Tuesday, 18 December 2012 14:59 (twelve years ago)

i am fascinated to see what they do with sanchez now. all that money tied up for next year, but they have to get rid of him. how can they start another season with him on the roster. no one will pick up that check of course, but you know someone will take him when he's available for cheap - just being a regular starter somewhere seems to guarantee you one more try somewhere else, however shitty you are.

anyway, rip #6. heaven needed a qb who can occasionally make throws over the middle between the 20s.

Roberto Spiralli, Tuesday, 18 December 2012 15:14 (twelve years ago)

the interesting thing about the jets is that you've got tanny, rex, and sanchez, and you could be justified in firing all of them or any combination of them (cutting, in the case of sanchez i guess). honestly not sure what i would do if i were in charge beyond the fact that they desperately need help evaluating nfl talent.

call all destroyer, Tuesday, 18 December 2012 15:48 (twelve years ago)

I still think that Rex isn't the problem with that team. If you're going to blame him for this disaster you have to give him some credit for taking two pretty horrible teams to the AFC Championship. Sanchez at this point is just a sunk cost. He'll be a backup for a few years I guess but really I don't think there's any chance he gets better. It's okay that he's terrible with deep throws but the fact that he keeps getting picked off on slants and screens is what's so damaging b/c those are the ones that get run back. And unless they pick up Alex Smith or Matt Flynn I don't know who they could possibly start to make things better next year.

frogbs, Tuesday, 18 December 2012 16:07 (twelve years ago)

i really don't know how much credit to give rex. he took two teams that were really stacked with talent on defense overall as well as on the offensive line deep into the playoffs. but a lot of those guys were from the prior regime. also a point i've been hearing recently is that there is basically no more important job for a head coach these days than to get the best out of his qb--coach him up or find someone who can. rex has failed miserably at that.

call all destroyer, Tuesday, 18 December 2012 16:13 (twelve years ago)

whoever is responsible, letting their running game deteriorate is what has killed them as much as anything. i am not sure if rex has ever done much more than bring bart scott with him.

sanchez is 33rd rated qb per qb rating this year so there's got to be at least one guy they can get hold of to improve things

Roberto Spiralli, Tuesday, 18 December 2012 16:16 (twelve years ago)

that team rex inherited had alan faneca and damien woody. faneca in particular was outstanding in the run game iirc.

Johnny Fever, Tuesday, 18 December 2012 16:42 (twelve years ago)

the defense is still pretty good! but yeah whoever put that offense together deserves a pink slip. if it's Rex so be it but I think he'll be on the sidelines next year with some team

frogbs, Tuesday, 18 December 2012 16:43 (twelve years ago)

This was the seventh time this year that Sanchez has thrown 20 passes in a game while failing to complete at least 50 percent of those passes. Nobody else in the league has more than four such games.

an eagle named "small government" (call all destroyer), Wednesday, 19 December 2012 01:35 (twelve years ago)

The Jet defense was pretty good both the years they got to the AFC title game. The offense was also really good at running the ball. They kind of won despite Sanchez being a pretty poor QB.

What I would do if I was one of those clubs in the black hole QB quandry like the Jets or Cards is go and try to get Kyle 'Weirdbeard' Orton. I still don't get why KC didn't bring him back, they were winning with him at the end of last year.

earlnash, Wednesday, 19 December 2012 03:42 (twelve years ago)
