The NFL Thread

[bane]

Christian Ponder is dating Samantha Steele from ESPN. Pretty good for a QB with not much hype on a team that no one pays attention too. If the Lions don't win the division this year, then I hope the Vikes do.

I went back and watched the Greenbay vs Texans game and while I still think my Texans played like shit, nobody would have beat Rodgers that night. 2 of those touchdowns were covered as well as they could be covered , and Rodgers threaded the needle. Anyway, point is, if that QB and that team can show up the rest of the year, everybody else in that division may As well stay home.

Browns will beat the colts

And, for the record, the best hands in the league belong to Larry Fitzgerald.

I cannot deal with these fucking NFL Network announcers.

If I hear the word "chippy" one more time this season I'm gonna...uh...yeah I'll keep watching cause it's still football but fuck I'm sick of these idiots. Makes the ESPN team seem like Cosell / Meredith

Count how many times Mayock uses the term 'in space' during a broadcast. Sorry in advance .

Luck is on pace to shatter the pass attempts record. Not the rookie attempts record. The attempts record.

Serious, non-trolling question here:

Is that the right way to bring along a rookie QB?

I see his numbers every week...it's like 33-55 for 300 yards. I mean, that's great and all, but that's a ton of physical stress on a young arm, not to mention that you are opening your QB 55 times a game to getting sacked, or having his arm hit a helmet etc. Plus, what kind of rhythm do you get in MISSING that much in a game? And what does it do to a young QB's confidence when he gets used to missing on half his throws? Don't you want your QB to think every time he throws he's gonna complete it?

Like I said before, I couldn't be happier with the way the Skins' coaching staff is bringing RG3 along. He's throwing THIRTY times a game, not pushing 60, and he's completing 70 percent of his passes. Seems like the smarter way to do it to me, plus, they are establishing a great rushing game.

This team has had a wretched offense for YEARS. Except for about 2 games during the 2005 season, the last time the offense has been any good was in 1999.

And overnight, they've become one of the best offenses in football. It's more than just RG3 - the coaching staff has played this beautifully. Meanwhile, the Colts' staff is just throwing Luck out there like David Klingler and having him throw 50-60 times a game.

I think the lad could use some more balance in his life, especially this early on.

They say he was ready to do this when they took him.

[Crazy Levi]

Yeah so the skins lost...don't care. Was a great game and RG3 stepped it up big time at the end. giants fans won't be looking forward to seeing him again. Nor will anybody else.

Well I Do have to buy a coworker lunch tomorrow which sucks.

But He's awesome. If this is a "bad game" from him I'll take it.

Could still use a receiver or too. Come on garçon what the fuck.

Houston rebounded from last week nicely. Nice to finally beat Baltimore. Took them long enough.

Ask Marino?

In today's game it's better than ever for a QB so unless they're mentally broken and can't handle a few low's....And at today's prices....Go for it.

[SkyDog112046]

When Rodgers is "on", he is unreal. He's fun to watch.

[poizond13]

Great win today, it wasn't always pretty, but a W is a W. Luck made the plays he needed to make and the defense got some much needed stops in the second half. Good to get to .500 and now we go back on the road to TN next week.

[poizond13]

Browns will beat the colts

Wrong again.

[HeavyMetalZombie666]

I don't see the Browns winning a bunch either. I see Colts do the win some lose some for this year which is an improvement.

Kudos to the Colts for getting the job done. How about those two running TDs by Luck?

It's been so long since the Bears played I can only name 52 of their 53 players alphabetically.

That loss for the skins yesterday is all on the defense. You don't let a receiver go over the top like that against a Manning.
Stafford has 4 TD passes. Bears d has 5 scores.

[Facedown]

Patriots D can make any opposing QB look like Joe Montana.

Sanchez really looked pretty decent yesterday didn't he? Pats front seven is badass against the run though.

Sanchez normally looks good against the Patriots secondary. Seriously. WTF!? How does Devin McCourty suck so much ass after looking so good as a rookie? Not counting the kickoff return for TD.

That fumble made it look like he had money on the Jets.

I've been saying all along the secondary is terrible. It was also a terrible call not to have anyone up top. I know everybody hates "prevent" defenses up someone way up there would have at least stopped that Cruz play from being a touchdown, and shortened the field to hopefully hold them to a FG and force overtime. The team at least has a second rounder next year, I'd think you can grab a decent safety at that spot.

Would probably be a bad idea to have RG3 play some safety at this point. You gotta think long term.

Guy can't do it all by himself. Just shows how much the Skins needed to become competitive again.

Anyone else hear Nantz call the Jets the winner at the end of the game last night before someone corrected him?

[WTF]

Yep. And I am surprised Belichick put him back there again after the fumble.

[WTF]

And he said it was a stunning victory.
