The NFL Thread

[bane]

People are already talking bust in Buffalo when it comes to Mario Williams.

Haven been brutalized by Albert Hayensworth and Dana Stubblefield in DC I saw this shit coming from a mile away. You can't invest that kind of cash in a D-lineman, it makes no fucking sense in the salary cap era.

Nobody in Houston was that sad to see him go. Williams was always a guy with more potential than real results. You don't give a guy like that 100 million dollars.

How many potential game changing catches did Dez Bryant drop last night? I quit counting at 6..

I lost count, but he certainly dropped balls that were thrown just right by
Romo.
Don't even get me started on the play where Dez did not make
the sight adjustment. He ran a 9 route and Tony asked him to run a curl.
IDIOT!!!
Dez thinks he belongs in the Dallas Ring of Honor, next to all the greats, but the kid does not want to work hard enough to belong there.

[demolition23]

Man, as bad as he was, those first two intercepts were totally on the receivers, and the third arguably partly on his O-line. That's a harsh way to have to play QB.

Ehhh, I usually stick up for Romo, and he gets a bad rap, but he looked like shit last night.

Yeah, but a lot of that was a result of pressure put on him by the bad play of others.
Should he have handled it better? Absolutely. But I still put a lot of it on other people.

Peanut Tillman said the pick six was the hardest interception of his career because Romo threw the ball right to him.

Pro Football Talk.Com power rankings week four.

8. Bears: In Jay Cutler’s defense, there’s a good chance Mike Tice ripped one before sitting on the bench.

[Machado]

The JETS season just went from bad to worse

For the second time in nine days, the New York Jets announced a season-ending injury to one of their best players. This time, it's wide receiver Santonio Holmes.



As expected, Holmes was diagnosed with a Lisfranc foot injury, ending his season after only four games, the Jets confirmed Wednesday. Holmes, the team's leading receiver with 20 catches and 272 yards, will have surgery.

that was good. Cutler needs to find some balance between not caring enough and taking himself out of playoff games and caring so much that he chews out his linemen and blows off his coordinators.

So I think we now have an answer to the eternal question: Will TO or Ochocinco ever get another NFL job?

Probably.

Placxico makes more sense.

Fuck it, bring in all three of them for a massive, headline-grabbing washed up jerk off receiver battle royale!!!!

I know I'd love to see it. Would be the archetypical Rex Ryan move.

Imagine the wildcat formation with those 3 WR's and then Tebow
calls an audible for the triple reverse.

Jets will win games going away with that play.

When are the Jets just going to hire Bill Cowher and start over again?

[Crazy Levi]

When are the Jets just going to hire Bill Cowher and start over again?

I think you are gonna see fewer and fewer of these guys pull a Jimmy Johnson and go from the booth back to the sidelines.

Guys like Gruden, Cowher, Dungy, Billick...all Super Bowl winning coaches who could get back into the game if they wanted to. But why deal with the bullshit? They are pulling down a good living watching football and talking shit about everyone else, instead of being the target.

Why come back just to face insurmountable expectations with a high possibility of failure? Millions of bucks? Yeah...but still.

[poizond13]

Why come back just to face insurmountable expectations with a high possibility of failure?

Because unlike you, any successful NFL coach is not afraid of having high expectations and failing. That's not the mindset of any successful person. When Tony Dungy became head coach of the Bucs, most people said he'd never turn the team around. The Bucs had never been any good and were one of the worst teams in the league. But he did it, and within a short amount of time the Bucs became perennial contenders. A few years later when he came to the Colts, expectations were Super Bowl or bust. Sure, he had the best QB in the game, but he also had one of the worst defenses in the game. Well he turned that one around too and won a world championship. Why? Because he wasn't afraid to fail, and wasn't afraid of high expectations.

The real reason coach Dungy won't return is the same reason he walked away from the game: he has other things he wants to focus his life on.

The Bucs were good once before Dungy. Wrong again.

OK you win, they made the playoffs 15 years before Dungy came in. What does that have to do with Coach Dungy and the job he did? Or are you just trolling again? Yep, I'll go with B.

[NeverSurrender]

You said they were never good. Simply refuting your ignorance. I know, because i remember it. You weren't even a glimmer in daddy's eye yet.

Bears next four opponents.

@ Jax
Vs Detroit
Vs Carolina
@ Tennessee

They could be 7-1 when Houston comes to town. I'll take 6-2.

They'll lose at least 2 of these.

This happens every time you look at a schedule and start crossing off wins.

I'm pretty fatalistic regarding my team's futures. I will never look past a week. I just heard that schedule and became less pessimistic.

RGIII wins NFL offensive rookie of the month!

[Facedown]

Tom Brady won AFC Offensive Player Of The Week for the 21st time.
Ties Peyton Manning for the most all-time.
That's gotta have p13 crying in his trollflakes.

Looks like the same old shitty Phoenix Cardinals to me.

Looks like the same old shitty Phoenix Cardinals to me.

Looks like 4 teams in the NFC West with great Defenses and Bad QBs.

Jacksonville taking the tarps off the upper deck for the Bears fans invading their ball park for the day. The crowd at Dallas had to be a quarter in support in Chicago and some are predicting Sunday may be 50/50 in Jacksonville. I think I'm going to burn some miles and take my son to Florida for the day.

Lots of NFC North fans anywhere there is a big military presence. Tons where I live. I know as many packers, Vikes and Bears fans than I know Saints fans. It was the same way when i was in Anchorage.

Do you ever go to the Packer bars? We used to have a aplace here that looked like downtown Minneapolis, but it closed when a new owner bought it. Also, the military people move so much.

I can't believe you're not going to see Miami Notre Dame in Soldier Field.

The biggest Packer bar is Northwoods Inn right up the street. If you want to find a seat for a noon Packer game you better be there right when they open at eleven or go somewhere else. I don't think I've ever not seen it packed to the gills for a faggoty Pack game. There's just so many people from other places here in the city that it makes sense to aligne yourself with a city and especially a college.
