Don't forget Eric Fucking Decker!

He has done nothing for me in fantasy. I picked him up on your recommendation. Get him on the phone and rectify this, pronto.

[FearedSanctity]

Yeah, think you got him just in time for Orton's disaster against San Diego and Tim's first game. I'd say give it a couple weeks. Let Tim settle in and adjust and Decker should be scoring TDs all over the place.

[DaveBrawl]

I'm surprised no one has gone with the throwing the Christian to the Lions theme for this weeks Broncos game.

I guess that could also work for the upcoming Vikings Lions game. Get on it ESPN.

[DaveBrawl]

I'm in the same boat Screech. I've had him since like week 2 or 3 and he has been way down for the last 2 or 3 weeks, but hopefully he will really turn it around in the next week or two.

Close enough I suppose.

[Nark Order]

I'm going to cheer while I can this season and I'll take it for what it is but fuck. I've got this staunch gut feeling that the Niners go like 12-4 or 13-3 and then lose in the first round of the playoffs. They aren't going to be challenged nearly enough with their schedule to be ready for the top caliber teams.

Pretty ambitious of Jim Harbaugh to act as the head coach and the mascot of the team. Love that man.

[Droford]

if the 49ers defense stays as good as it is, I could see the 49ers and Packers in the NFC Champ game.

[Nark Order]

Well, unfortunately defense only gets you so far if the offense is inconsistent. Well, maybe. Some teams go all the way with strong defense only but it's far more difficult to do than if a team were properly balanced. So far we've been alright on offense but the 49ers are definitely relying on their go-to guys way too much for yardage. Frank Gore can only do so much before people find a way to shut him off. Alex Smith has been playing a good season but I'm wondering how far it's going to last. Braylon Edwards comes back this week so that gives us another weapon assuming that he doesn't drop passes and Smith can get him the ball. Michael Crabtree looks like he wants to start playing up to his ego also which would be wonderful, but I'll believe it when I see it.

I want to believe.

If the Raven's Offense stays as bad as it is, I could see them not making the playoffs..

:y:

[Kris P Lettus]

9ers are good, but have little to no competition in the West as Narc said..

[screech]

If the Raven's Offense stays as bad as it is, I could see them not making the playoffs..

:y:

This makes me sad because I can also see this.

:(

[screech]

On the bright side, I wouldn't have to watch them choke in the playoffs again.

[Droford]

Ravens offense isn't bad. In their 4 wins they've scored 29+ points each game. If anything they're a shitty road team (1-2 on the Road, only win vs the Rams) which doesn't have my hopes up too high for next Sunday night when they go to Pissburgh. If they can somehow win the Division and at least get some home playoff games they'll be fine.

[Supreme Olajuwon]

I hope the Ravens make the playoffs. When Ray Lewis' misses the playoffs, people get murdered.

[Reavant]

Ravens offense isn't bad.

they nearly got shut out by the jags...

Browns-49ers Preview: 3 Things To Watch

October 28, 2011 8:35 pm

Two teams led by first-year head coaches square off on Sunday in Candlestick Park as the Cleveland Browns head west to battle the San Francisco 49ers. The Browns head into the game with a 3-3 record after a hard-fought 6-3 win against the Seattle Seahawks. The 49ers enter the game with a 5-1 record and are coming off of their bye week, which was preceded by a dramatic win against the Detroit Lions that was concluded by one of the most controversial handshakes in postgame history.

Three Things to Watch:

1. D’Qwell Jackson vs. Frank Gore

Despite the change in head coaches, the 49ers’ offensive game plan remains the same: hand off to Frank Gore, hand off to Frank Gore, and then hand off to Frank Gore one more time. Gore is eighth in the NFL with 541 rushing yards on 109 attempts. The 49ers are second-last in the league in passing yardage, averaging only 171 yards per game. The Browns have the best pass defense in the NFL, and the 49ers will have a tough time winning without a stellar performance from Gore. Browns linebacker D’Qwell Jackson, who has showed no ill effects this season from the injuries that have plagued him over the past few seasons, will do his best to keep Gore from running roughshod over the Browns’ defense. Jackson is sixth in the NFL with 40 solo tackles and he will seek to add to that total on Sunday as he attempts to limit Gore’s production.

2. Montario Hardesty vs. Patrick Willis

Last week, the Browns went back to their characteristic run-heavy style in the win against the Seahawks. Star running back Peyton Hillis could not play because of a hamstring injury and second-year running back Montario Hardesty got the start for the Browns. Hardesty’s career-high 33 carries for 95 yards against a tough Seahawks run defense helped the Browns control the clock and maintain control of the game. Hillis has missed two practices this week, and it is possible that his hamstring injury will once again force him to the sidelines. The 49ers currently have the second-best run defense in the league, allowing only 74.7 rushing yards per game. The Browns have struggled in games in which quarterback Colt McCoy has been forced to throw often, and another strong performance from Hardesty will be necessary if Hillis’s hamstring prevents him from playing this week. Pro Bowl linebacker Patrick Willis will do his best to contain Hardesty and keep him from allowing the Browns to control the game on the ground.

3. The Browns’ Special Teams vs. Ted Ginn, Jr.

In recent seasons, the Browns’ special teams were one of the team’s strongest areas. This year, the Browns’ special teams have struggled mightily. In their game against the Oakland Raiders, the Browns surrendered a kickoff return for a touchdown to the Raiders’ Jacoby Ford. Last week, the Browns almost surrendered a punt return for a touchdown to the Seahawks’ Leon Washington but were bailed out by a very questionable illegal block penalty. This week, the Browns will face Ted Ginn, Jr., one of the league’s premier returners. Ginn began the season by returning a punt and a kickoff for a touchdown in the 49ers’ first game and has continued to excel throughout the course of the season. The 49ers currently lead the NFL in kickoff return yardage, averaging 30.9 yards per return. Additionally, they are fifth in punt return yardage, averaging 13.7 yards per return. The Browns’ special teams units will need to contain Ginn and limit him from pulling off yet another highlight-reel runback.


Prediction: Sure, last week’s Browns\Seahawks game wasn’t pretty from an offensive standpoint. Nevertheless, the fact that the Browns’ defense played a solid game and stopped the Seahawks when they needed to do so in order to win the game was lost amidst fan laments about a lack of offensive firepower. The Browns will bring another solid defensive effort this week and keep the game close, but the Browns’ offensive struggles will keep them from getting the points that they need to win. Gore and quarterback Alex Smith will be able to do just enough to help the 49ers earn their sixth victory of the season by a score of 17-10.

[Nark Order]

Feel like that article is playing up the Willis/Hardesty match-up a bit too much. I don't think Hardesty will even be able to dent the Niners defense. He's been given a ridiculous amount of carries and has delivered very little yardage. Against a smash mouth defense like the 9ers, I suspect probably around the same. I expect him to get some solid carries but with fairly small gains.

[Nark Order]

That being said, I hope Montario Hardesty does SOMETHING as I'm pretty much forced to play him in Fantasy this week.

[Kris P Lettus]

That being said, I hope Montario Hardesty does SOMETHING as I'm pretty much forced to play him in Fantasy this week.

This is why I hate fantasy football.. having to play guys against your team or having to start guys from division rivals while secretly praying they lose..

:torn:

[Nark Order]

Feel like Fantasy Football is one of the greatest marketing ploys of all time and an answer to the question "How can we get fans to watch games from teams other than their home team?"

[DaveBrawl]

I can't believe I sold out and got Rivers as my fantasy teams qb. So disappointed in myself.

also supposed to Snow in Baltimore tomorrow. FIRST NFL GAME WITH SNOW! lol

[FearedSanctity]

also, this is interesting:

Not really, teams scout QBs so that they can have some notes and video on them for when they have to play them in the NFL. It's why Denver scouted a shitload of QBs last year despite having no interest in actually drafting them

Also, I read coaches who are close will have their buddies scout players for them so as to not give away interest. Shanahan did it with Fisher for Cutler

[Supreme Olajuwon]

I'm sure Denver scouted a shitload of QBs last year because Tebow is not a franchise quarterback.

[Supreme Olajuwon]

But what do I know about intangibles?

[Nark Order]

Tebow is a franchise quarterback now whether anybody likes it or not. Unless he is completely horrible from now on, I don't know if the fans are going to let them demote him.

[Droford]

Tebow's performance today is gonna make Flacco's monday night debacle look good.

[Skippord]

that's Joe "Better Than Peyton Manning" Flacco right?

[Supreme Olajuwon]

do you guys remember that time Droford said Joe Flacco was better than Peyton Manning

Arian Foster v. MJD...and I have both of them on my fantasy squad. Here's to hoping that the final score is 97-96.

Outside of the one year that the Colts won the Super Bowl, Peyton Manning has been awful in the playoffs. Flacco has won half as many playoff games in 3 years as he has in 12. No Super Bowl, yes I know..but how many years did it take him to win one?

[OssMan]

Can football stadiums please start using songs besides Hell's Bells and Crazy Train before kickoffs

[Kris P Lettus]

Even in 98, where the Colts went 3-13, I've never seen Manning look as bad as Flacco did against the Jags..

Just saying..

[Kris P Lettus]

Can football stadiums please start using songs besides Hell's Bells and Crazy Train before kickoffs

There are no better songs than Crazy Train, FYI..

[Droford]

Klolb gets sacked and fumbles on the first play..too bad they recovered for a loss of 10.

[OssMan]

Crazy Train is the best song ever created and it should be played before every kickoff at every game

[Kris P Lettus]

Stand up and Get Crunk should be played when the Saints are kicking off..

[Supreme Olajuwon]

Bengals pregame song is Welcome to the Jungle.

Gotten pretty sick of that song too.

[Anybody Thrilla]

It only makes perfect sense, though.

[Supreme Olajuwon]

I KNOW MAN IM JUST SAYIN

[Supreme Olajuwon]

Feels really weird watching the Giants on CBS.

[Kris P Lettus]

Feels weird having no score 12 mins into the Saints/Rams game..

[Droford]

Ravens on Fox is weird too

[Ermaximus]

Anyone else having problems with CBS coverage today?

[Kris P Lettus]

1st and goal Rams..

What is happening??

[Ermaximus]

Dolphins are working the NY Giants. How is this possible?

[Droford]

how about those Saints lol

[Nark Order]

Lol flacco

[Kris P Lettus]

how about those Saints lol

It's 3-0, guy..

[Corndad]

Lol flacco

[RoXer]

It's 3-0, guy..

Meanwhile... in Baltimore...

[Emperor Smeat]

:lol: Ravens

[Corndad]

This is what happens Ravens when you make your first game of the season your Super Bowl

[Nark Order]

They have the inferior Harbaugh.

[Droford]

It's 3-0, guy..
About to be 17-0

lol

as for the Ravens, this is the same Cardinals team that let the Steelers have the ball last week for 22 minutes in the 2nd half. Ravens get the ball first..Im ok.

[Ermaximus]

Loving how Droford avoids the insults towards his team.

[Droford]

Loving how Droford avoids the insults towards his team.

They didnt lose to the Rams, who had Bradford at the time. Maybe you're gonna tell me Mr AJ McFeely is better than Sam Bradford and stuff.

The Ravens aren't the only team choking their asses off today.

[Droford]

17-0 Rams. lol

just wish I had bet on them +15.5

[Ermaximus]

All I know Droford, SammyG is screaming cuz the Rams are winning, and Roxer is doing back flips because the Cardinals are whooping ass.

[Droford]

I hope Krispy is crying over a box of donuts

ridiculous...:nono:

[Droford]

Better than crying over a box of chemotherapy..

I've seen the Rams look good against the Saints for years..


when was that..1999?

[Blakeamus]

Knowing the Saints in this situation, I expect them to explode in the second half and win by field goal.

[Droford]

Flacco threw for almost 400 yards vs the Rams a couple weeks ago.

Brees has 102 so far. Hmm.

[FearedSanctity]

Difference between the Saints and Ravens is the Saints can more than likely come back with ease. Flacco couldn't make shit happen against the Jags. I love the NFL

http://www.pittsburghsportstavern.com/images/Joe_Flacco_Bert.jpg

[Droford]

Ravens came out of the locker room and marched down the field and scored a TD in 3 minutes. 80 yards in 7 plays.

Highlighted by Flacco to Boldin for 65 yards and a 11 yard PI call on Boldin in the end zone.

[Blakeamus]

Rams/Saints always seem to be a heated game. Rams are fighting through. As much as I dislike the Saint's to lose to a winless team, the Rams are playing ball and deserve their first win.

[FearedSanctity]

Even Ryan Leaf led a few TD drives

[Ermaximus]

Flacco only has one chance to win. He better start Tebowing now.

[Blakeamus]

These damn sacks...

[Droford]

The Saints losing to the Rams is worse than the Ravens losing to the Jaguars.

[Rock Bottom]

What about the Ravens losing to both the Jags and Cardinals

[Rock Bottom]

Joe Flacco's tanks can't hold agro.

[FearedSanctity]

Not at all. Before the season started and half the Rams roster got on IR they were contenders for a playoff spot, Jags were contenders for maybe not being 100% shit

[Ermaximus]

The Saints losing to the Rams is worse than the Ravens losing to the Jaguars.

Fuck you.

[Droford]

What, I just called the Jaguars a good team..wtf

they're holding texans within check...their defense is good.

too bad no offense.

[Ermaximus]

Then I apologize.

[Droford]

24-0 Rams

poor krispy

[Blakeamus]

The Rams are not as bad as the Colts...

[Droford]

If Drew Brees was so good you'd think he could at least put up similar #'s vs the Rams that Flacco did a couple weeks ago.

[Droford]

The Ravens have sacked Kolb like 6 times already...10 sacks not out of the question

[FearedSanctity]

And neither is a loss, making the sack total irrelevant

[Blakeamus]

If Drew Brees was so good you'd think he could at least put up similar #'s vs the Rams that Flacco did a couple weeks ago.

He can if he had better protection.

[Droford]

Flacco could do a hell of a lot better if he had better protection, so what?

[Blakeamus]

Momentum shift!

[Droford]

Boldin is stepping up huge in the 2nd half..6 catches for 125

make that 7 for 145

[Blakeamus]

Flacco could do a hell of a lot better if he had better protection, so what?

Yeah, any QB can.

[Requiem]

Flacco has a run game to fall back on, and a defense led by Ray fucking Lewis. How does that make him better than Peyton Manning?

You're delusional.

[Droford]

TD Ravens! 24-21 now

[Droford]

Kolb throws an INT after getting whacked by Suggs.

Ravens have the ball just outside of the Redzone

[FearedSanctity]

Flacco has a run game to fall back on, and a defense led by Ray fucking Lewis. How does that make him better than Peyton Manning?

You're delusional.

As all the stats I quoted earlier in this thread proved. Flacco is an absolute shit playoff QB and his D bailed him out constantly.

Just like they're going to do this game

[Droford]

Boldin gets another PI call in the end zone..LOL

3rd one

[Nark Order]

Yes. Keep giving it to Bolden!! FANTASY OVERDRIVE. I even hope the Ravens win because the Cards are in our division.

[Droford]

As all the stats I quoted earlier in this thread proved. Flacco is an absolute shit playoff QB and his D bailed him out constantly.

Just like they're going to do this game

Oh come on, Flacco threw for like 150 yards just in the 3rd quarter there. they completely abandoned the run game.

[Droford]

Yes. Keep giving it to Bolden!! FANTASY OVERDRIVE. I even hope the Ravens win because the Cards are in our division.
if not for the PI calls he'd probably have 10 catches for 180 yards and 3 TDs

Instead, Ray Rice has 3 TDs.

Ravens TD take the lead! 24 unanswered points

[FearedSanctity]

You raise a good point and then shit all over it. How can you not have 150 yards when your D is constantly getting you the ball back and you've done nothing but pass for a whole quarter?

[Droford]

The cardinals suck on offense? They're doing the same thing they did their last game vs the Steelers where they let the Steelers have the ball for 22 minutes in the 2nd half in a close game at halftime.

[Rock Bottom]

Thank god for Boldin and pass interference. It was 24-3 when I turned this bitch on. Amazing.

[Requiem]

Kolb throws an INT after getting whacked by Suggs.

Ravens have the ball just outside of the Redzone

defense is credit to team

Oh come on, Flacco threw for like 150 yards just in the 3rd quarter there. they completely abandoned the run game.

Ravens TD take the lead! 24 unanswered points


lollllllllllllllllllll

[RoXer]

those were all on the goal line, Ravens actually have given up the run

[Requiem]

disregarding part of the game to give your argument strength.

if it wasn't for part of the game, flacco would have 3 TDs. instead, another part of the game which they stopped using has 3 TDs thanks to another part of the game (defense) stepping up.

[RoXer]

The ball was literally an inch out from the endzone all three times.

And it actually was Flacco's passing and the inept Cardinal's D that got them there.

[FearedSanctity]

lol Kolb is so awful. And to think Arizona could've had Orton for a 3rd and kept DRC

[Requiem]

and still, regardless of a single game where things may or may not have happened, flacco still has a run game and a defense led by ray fucking lewis. one game doesn't make flacco a god among men.

[Droford]

Fitzgerald gets called for pass interfence. Tons of PI calls

[FearedSanctity]

PASS INTERFERENCE, PASS INTERFERENCE EVERYWHERE

[Blakeamus]

14-24...looks like another 4th quarter comback for the Saint's.

[Droford]

The Ravens defense has made about 5 great plays this drive only to be negated by penalties on 3 of em..ugh

Miami blowing this again!! What the fuck is wrong with Moore? Taking huge sacks and can't get rid of the ball for anything, even when ge has time.

[Kris P Lettus]

Last year..

[FearedSanctity]

Seriously, Sparano cant survive this right?

[Rock Bottom]

Unsportsmanlike conduct my ass. The tackler did a good job of baiting him into it though. But I mean seriously, you break that many tackles and one guy finally gets you and puffs up, you respond and you get an enormous penalty. Gay.

[Droford]

Dolphins should Leave Sparano in there, go winless, get Andrew Luck and then fire him

[Rock Bottom]

Ray Rice is the shit.

[FearedSanctity]

Whisenhunt needs to go next too. Shitty Kolb trade and, somehow, shittier offense

[RoXer]

3rd and 10

Call Timeout

Organize Play

Shovel Pass

[RoXer]

Whisenhunt needs to go next too.

nah

[FearedSanctity]

Are you sure bro? Admittedly I don't follow the Cards to well, but every time I see them they're getting their shit pushed in. GIMME YOUR THOUGHTS

[Droford]

Flacco to Smith for 36 yards and the ball game! Woo!

[Droford]

Can Ray Rice pull the Al Bundy and get 4 TDS?

guess not.

Flacco 31/51 for 337

not bad after the MNF game

Ravens win!

[Droford]

now to watch the Steelers lose

[Rock Bottom]

I hope so.

[Blakeamus]

p.s. glad Brees kept his consecutive pass td streak alive..

Yeah, I was hoping for that.

[Nark Order]

What a fucking start. Forced fumble. Gore TD. Go Niners.

[Droford]

how bout that Tim Tebow?

[Rock Bottom]

I think today and next Sunday are probably the "biggest" games short of pre-season that the Ravens are looking at

[Rock Bottom]

Ravens and Steelers are both facing a bunch of mediocre teams after this, with the exception of a 49ers game each

[FearedSanctity]

He's done good. Got jewed pretty hard on that TD pass to Decker

[Nark Order]

JOE STALEY

[FearedSanctity]

lol Lions player Tebows after sack

[Droford]

Ravens and Steelers are both facing a bunch of mediocre teams after this, with the exception of a 49ers game each
Ravens get SF at home on a short week (thanksgiving night), the Steelers go to SF on MNF in December. Gonna say thats advantage Ravens just cause they're at home on a short week..

Ravens also have SD in SD. Pittsburgh has to go to KC in a couple weeks on SNF. Other than that its pretty much easy for each..both still play the Browns/Bengals twice. I guess the Bengals could be a spoiler.

Ravens have to win next Sunday if the Steelers dont lose today.

[Rock Bottom]

Ya, is pretty big couple weeks.

I feel guilty wishing death upon the Steelers though because theyre a good team. But the "rivalry" is there.

My brother in law lives in Baltimore and is a Steelers fan. I have to have something to shit on him with

[Rock Bottom]

and so far my death wish means jack shit, looks like they can just throw the ball all game

[FearedSanctity]

WHY IS EVERYONE DROPPING EVERYTHING?

[Nark Order]

Frank Gore is a golden god.

[FearedSanctity]

Tebow's meh again, but at least his throws are on target. Doesn't help that his receivers have 4 drops. McCoy insists on calling plays with 15+ yard routes instead of letting Tim get momentum with 5-10 yard routes

[Emperor Smeat]

That sack of Big Ben looks worse now due to the INT and short field Pats needed for the TD.

[FearedSanctity]

Only McCoy could call a play with routes too short to convert a 3rd and 3

[FearedSanctity]

DECKERRRRR

[FearedSanctity]

Fucking play calling is ass backwards. Medium passes and bombs in the 1st half, short and medium passes and misdirection and bootlegs in the 2nd.

[Kris P Lettus]

Tebow's meh again

Again??

[FearedSanctity]

LOL, on 4th and 11 an o-linemen held Tebow up while a Lions player was wrapped around his legs so Tim could throw a pass

[Skippord]

Pretty glad I missed most of this at work

[FearedSanctity]

Tebow blew ass, but to be fair, the difference in the playcalling in the 1st-3rd compared to the 4th for the last two weeks is ridiculous. It's almost like they know what will work for Tim and just don't call it until it's too late

[FearedSanctity]

1st-3rd: Try to be Tom Brady
4th: OK, be Tebow

[Emperor Smeat]

Not surprised the Pats lost although didn't think Big Ben would have wrecked the secondary this badly and Belichick would abandon the run game at the first sign of trouble.

:lol: Washington went into their bye as #1 in division and since then they could be at the bottom if Philly wins this week.

[Skippord]

At least I don't have to watch it when I get off

[Skippord]

Tebowwwwwwwwwww :'(

[Kris P Lettus]

Steelers looked great today..

Mike Wallace (OLE MISS) is a f'n monster..

[ClockShot]

:rofl:

Gonna loooove watching the NFL anaylists pick apart Tebow on sportscenter tomorrow morning after this game.

[Skippord]

Panel of retards on TV saying to bench Tebow

You will never have a winning record with him as your starting QB..

[FearedSanctity]

Pretty brave proclamation about a guy who's essentially a rookie coming off his 5th start with a 2-3 record

I think Tebows day was about as bad as Flacco on Monday.

just as I predicted

also, I was unaware that Flacco led the Ravens back from their largest ever deficit to win (24). Previous was 19 vs Tennessee a few years ago.

That Cowboys WR needs an assist for that INT

Lol that was not a backward pass.

[Droford]

This backwards pass/fumble call is probably the worst call Ive ever seen.

Can't believe they're gonna make Philly waste a challenge on it. If it were closer game, Id be pissed if I were the Eagles.

To be fair, they should have never went overboard on the hype considering it was Miami he beat last week and they are probably the worst team overall in the league (Colts don't count).

Big difference between Miami's defense and Detroit's defense this season as well as Miami remembering during the 2nd half of games they need to suck for Luck.

[Supreme Olajuwon]

How dare you suggest football analysts go overboard with their hype!

[Droford]

Pretty crazy how the Eagles are right back in the NFC East at 3-4. The Giants aren't scaring anyone at 5-2.

[DrA]

There was nothing surprising about that game. Tim Tebow is not an interesting player and the Denver Broncos are probably the most boring team in the NFL to talk about this year.

I ptay that Fitz stays healthy.

FYI there is no running back in the NFL better than Fred Jackson Right now.

The true test is coming. The next 5-6 weeks is going to be brutal.

VICTOR KOOLAID aka Cruz Azul is the future of the NFL

Nice try Rams. Try being worse on special teams. Worked like a charm for the Colts.

i love fred too but adrian peterson is head and shoulders ahead of everyone in this league

yeah AP is lights out

Better at losing.

How are none of you talking about the Bengals?

[FearedSanctity]

So when Fox says that Tebow started well, but went into hibernation, that was interesting. The Broncos started in a spread offense with Tebow in the shotgun. It’s the perfect way to let Tebow be Tebow. He should be in the shotgun on almost every play.

He took the Broncos down so easily on that drive. And then. . .they stopped using the spread offense.

“We tried to get back to that after halftime,’’ receiver Eric Decker said. “Maybe we did get away from it a little bit.’’

Fox put Tebow in a much more traditional and un-Tebow-like offense the rest of the half. That’s when Tebow seemed to go into hibernation.

http://msn.foxsports.com/nfl/story/Tim-Tebow-John-Fox-sabotage-Denver-Broncos-in-loss-to-Detroit-Lions-103011

When Denver started in the Spread everything worked so well. Detroit's D was spread out taking pressure off Tebow and giving Moreno and Ball all kinds of room to run. They were down near the redzone in less than 3 minutes. Tim completed two medium routes with ease, and were it not for the last pass not being overturned (still swear that was easily a catch) he'd have been 3/3 and a TD.

The next drive, and the majority of drives after, consisted of pretty much 2 WR sets and Tebow almost always under center.

WHY?

[FearedSanctity]

How are none of you talking about the Bengals?

When I saw Dalton against Denver I knew the dude was gonna be good, but damn. With their D people def need to be talking about the Bengals more

[RP]

Remember when Denver traded a first round pick for Alphonso whatshisface. I can't wait to see what they might offer for Andrew Luck.

[FearedSanctity]

Oh god, with Brian Xanders still the GM who the fuck knows? Only thing worse than his GM ability is his public speaking

[Reavant]

Everybody's favorite team is better than every other team and everybody's favorite player is better than everyone else.

I was saying that as a bills fan btw... I mean come on, honestly who can you argue is a better runner than AP? The guy could rack up yards with out an Oline it seems.

[Supreme Olajuwon]

I know you meant well, friend. You spoke from the heart.

I just want everyone to get along. :'(

[Hanso Amore]

For reals - Andy Dalton is legit. Dude is a Winner.

I honestly would possibly take him over Newton. Hes not flashy, hes not a freak, but the dude is just a damn good QB.

[Hanso Amore]

I stand by it. No RB is playing better or is more important to his team AT THIS TIME, than Fred Jackson.

Dude is going to lead the NFL in all Purpose Yards and Possibly Rushing.

[Hanso Amore]

Damn, Lesean McCoy with a big night moves in front of Fred in YPC, Yards Per Game and TDs...

Blew up my whole last 5 posts.

[Skippord]

I like Christian Ponder

[Skippord]

Oh god, with Brian Xanders still the GM who the fuck knows? Only thing worse than his GM ability is his public speaking
he'll trade the next two drafts

[Nark Order]

Was getting pretty frustrated yesterday. Here we are with a fairly good red zone quarterback and we're running Gore on the goal line 100 times despite it not working the entire game. I understand that the Brown's passing defense is much better than their run defense but you'd think after the Browns defense makes a huge stand at the goal line that you'd lay the fuck off the run in the red zone for awhile. At the end of the second half, they decide to give Alex a passing play in the red zone after two failed run attempts then bam, TD.

It was pretty odd though. The Browns couldn't stop the run at any other time in the game, just in the red zone. Gore pretty much made his way up the entire field twice in the first half just because he could.

How are none of you talking about the Bengals?

I think a lot of people are ignoring the Bengals because of the soft schedule, even though a 3-1 road record is impressive no matter who you play against.

But I also think a lot of it has to do with the fact that with all the things people could be talking about with the Bengals, there's a similar story gathering more interest. People aren't talking about their suprising start because the Niners and Lions (and I guess the Bills too) are getting more coverage. People aren't talking about Dalton because Cam Newton is getting all the coverage. People aren't talking about the defense because they're still in a division with the Ravens and Steelers.

But whatever man, I'd rather people sleep on the Bengals and let them do their thing than put them on a pedestal and then shit all over them if they don't meet expectations.

[Nark Order]

I don't know what kind of coverage you think the 49ers are getting. Although, admittedly it is a bit more than before. ESPN takes an extra 15 seconds or so saying "How about these guys?" before they move on to talking about Michael Vick for 3 and a half hours.

[Supreme Olajuwon]

I said they're getting more coverage than the Bengals, you semi-literate chimp.

[Nark Order]

Are you sexually frustrated again? I don't deserve this transgression.

[Supreme Olajuwon]

I'm sorry I flew off the hinges there. I said some things and you said some things and the whole thing just got outta control. I'm sorry. You're a good kid.

[Nark Order]

Also, if they're talking about the 49ers it's probably mostly because people expect them to do great this season due to a lack of competition later in the schedule. Bengals have a much more difficult schedule coming up and they'll probably lose quite a few of those games. The Bengals also had a very easy schedule up to this point and lost almost all of their somewhat difficult games, except against the Bills.

I suspect they'll be quite the topic of conversation if they beat the Steelers twice, the Texans, and the Ravens.

[Nark Order]

I'm sorry I flew off the hinges there. I said some things and you said some things and the whole thing just got outta control. I'm sorry. You're a good kid.

I don't know how to do the heart emoticon but let's just pretend that it's here. Right here.

[Supreme Olajuwon]

Crazy to think now how close the Niners are to being undefeated. They had the Cowboys beat but they let it slip away.

[Nark Order]

So many bullshit pass int calls in the league today. Especially in this game.

[Droford]

lol the Chargers suck

[Evil Vito]

<font color=goldenrod>LOL Rivers.</font>

[Evil Vito]

<font color=goldenrod>Anyway, didn't see the game yesterday due to power outage. But it sounded awfully ugly on the radio. Struggling to beat the Dolphins at home isn't a very good sign when you have to go to New England who are pissed off after a defeat.

The final 9 week stretch is insanely brutal.</font>

[Droford]

the best thing that would ever happen to SD is if they would get rid of Norv Turner

[Nark Order]

Looking forward to the Giants/9ers game a bunch actually. Wanna see what we're made of.

[D Mac]

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO FIRST PLACE BABYYYYYYYYYYY!


CHIEFS CHIEFS CHIEFS

[D Mac]

DON'T FIRE TODD HALEY

[Droford]

why the hell would they?

Norv Turner should be though.

[D Mac]

I kept screaming FIRE TODD HALEY when they lost their first 3 in a row. lol

[RP]

I had KC defense on my fantasy team this week. That Rivers fumble and the sack in overtime got me the win by .18 points.

"That was the worst thing ever"?

[Kris P Lettus]

"That was the worst day ever.."

[Droford]

Bet every dime you have on these 3 teams:

49ers -3.5 @ Redskins
Chiefs -4.5 vs Dolphins
Packers -5.5 @ chargers

laugh all the way to the bank. Vegas is ridiculous this week with their lines.

[Nark Order]

Thought that 49ers line was kind of weak when I first heard it but I could honestly see it being pretty dead on now after that Browns performance.

[Droford]

If the 49ers dont win by at least 17 points I'll never bet on football again this year. The Redskins have completely gone into the tank.

The only way the Dolphins get out of the Tank is if Ray Finkle steals them again.

And never bet on Norv Turner, he'll piss you off.

[Nark Order]

The 49ers will not be winning by 17 points. I'd be very surprised if that happened.
