I'd say Cushing is pretty key you cold hearted northener.
Yeah, if you played against actual professional football teams. Unfortunately you play in the AFC, so you'll need to probably lose Watt and one of your TE's. It's a sacrifice that I hope you decide not to make.

Nothing wrong with them loving Watt. I love Watt. He just looks bigger than everyone on the field, and always seemed to be involved. I noted their love because they must have played 10 clips of JJ Watt on their screens for every 1 of another player.
And the Jacoby hate.....so much hate. The booes for him were the loudest, all the fans around us were cursing him worse than anyone else. They knew all about his failures, pointing out his fumble last week, and seemed to be tracking his progress like crazy stalker fans.
Dont act like you don't like Texas' team. Too many key Wisconsin corn fed white boys down here for you to not!
That's why I am trying to help you win!
How was the stadium atmosphere? It came through well on TV, but curious to what you thought? How's it compare to Baltimore?
One nit picky thing that always bothers me...why the fuck do you build a retractable roof...if it's NEVER open?!
Well she sure looks nice.
daaaaamn looks like push up bras are a good look for her

I was going to mention Steve Smith yelling at him on the sideline this year but I see someone else already did.

Doesn't that mean he's trying to step on the opponent's throat?
CONGRATS PANTHER FANS!
Coaches are too conservative but I think it is safe to say Ben plays better from behind. On and off the field.
The Falcons are definitely doomed to lose at home in their first playoff game, but don't forget how horrible the Texans looked in losing to Green Bay. If they can string together another 2 or 3 losses like that then they would be a serious contender in the postseason.

We already lost Grimes, so we need to lose one more I guess.
The Texans have lost Cushing, so they need to lose one more as well.

I thought Sanchez looked pretty good yesterday tbh, The only really questionable decisions I saw were when he was about to get killed by a defender.
Not a huge fan of how the way the end of the game was handled by the refs, granted, what could they do to stop the rush onto the field.

The offensive co-ordinator doesn't throw the ball.
I'm not talking about the play call itself, but how its executed. Last night for example, Haley left a lot of contingencies in for Ben - Miller was wide open on a swing pass over the middle, but Ben decided to go deep for Brown on 3rd down when he was well covered.
Getting another touchdown when you have a slim four point lead isn't stepping on your opponents throat. It's this letting other teams hang around after getting a lead that has the Steelers at .500.
We beat the Jets convincingly. You almost made Sanchez look like an NFL quarterback.
Pats are much worse than we are!

Jets coaches were the problem yesterday. How do you line up in the shotgun on 3rd and 1 at the Pats 3 yard line. That has to be one of the worst play calls ever.

At the end of the game? Yeah, gotta run the ball there and either pick up the first or at the very least force the Pats to use their last TO.
Unless there's an obvious interim on the staff there's really no way to fire him. It kind of sucks to waste a year of TRich and Weeden, but a front office clean out was what was really needed. You just have to hope the money guys stay in their lane and not think they know personnel
Yeah, probably true. At least Weeden has been well-protected and Richardson has only played lightly. Neither should be much worse as far as wear goes when the new coach comes in next season.
I'm also happy with how Gordon has played, and I'm glad Cooper is making the most of his opportunity.
It's just grating when this team could easily be 4-3 and they only have 1 win.
They opened it after the game was over! It actually looked cool.
On another note the Stadium looked fucking bad ass with everyone wearing red. Atmosphere was really good.
Also, they have these hilarious animated videos for when Antonio Smith gets a sack. I forgot exactly what it said (ninja assassin, ninja strike, something like that), but they had 94 animated like a ninja. Looked like some Samurai Showdown shit sound FX and all. It was cheesy but cool.
So what you are saying is I should root for the Bears to lose by 30 tonight?
We'll see if Flacco can actually lead the team to the playoffs without the benefit of a good defense.

Yeah, the Jets coaching on offense has been shitty all season. And part of the problem is that Rex doesn't give a shit about the offense.

:jnc I need to have that last quarter turned into an avatar.
I'll change the Eli mask in early November over to it, I think.

After all the whining, I had to look up the picture myself.
It's even worse than I could imagine.
I can't hate on a young guy with money. He can spend his money however he pleases.
But if he spent as much time trying to get better as a QB as he does trying to be an ICON by buying ugly-ass clothes...

Well she sure looks nice.
Nice and confused. What is she even doing?
I'm not saying I advocate it, but I think he still lives in Raleigh, and I have to think if Cowher wants to be in football ops, the job is his in Carolina. Richardson will most likely go for a former player and coach wanting to oversee the organization.
It's proven to be a terrible model though and I'm hoping we go after a young up-and-coming GM from a team like the Giants or Ravens.
Filming a movie, I believe. Pretty sure that's a scene she's filming and not just her being straight up confused about her surroundings ha.

Trying to find me. She can't wait! /swoonwienke said:
Something that's going to kill STL going forward is the ST. Philbin faked a punt and McCarthey onside kicked successfully. And they brought this up on the radio. If the worst that can happen is a FG allowed, then there's no reason not to be aggressive vs them.
Jenkins is regressing. He keeps trying to read the QB and has given up 3 easy TDs in two weeks b/c of it. You can live with the HoF throws from Rodgers, but the easy ones you have to avoid.
Bradford's money is a product of the old system and they should never resign him at his current level of play, but they made a value judgement on Chris Long and extended him. I don't give shit about hurries and pressures, which he seems to get a lot of. He doesn't force fumbles, get sacks (unless it's against AZ), or make QBs rush throws for INTs. He doesn't change the game. That's not a $10m/yr player

That's once instance. Typically after getting the lead, we start doing running plays and short screens/dump offs, ie. getting away from what got us the lead in the first place.
You usually disappear by thanksgiving so I am not sure it will matter.

Yeah I don't believe Shurmur will be fired before the Season ends, and as for Weeden in no way is this wasted he seems to be figuring out things pretty nicely so far. As for Richarson he just dosent seem all that healthy right now. It feels kind of weird being half way through the season and not already calling for a new Qb.

She looks like she's about 20 seconds into the middle of a panic attack or something.
I can't believe Cam Newton has officially out pouted J-Pout. Even Cutler probably thinks his body language is awful.
In all seriousness, I'm not entirely sure his career will be a bust since the dude has freakish talent. He's just not used to playing teams where the lineman are as fast as the QB and the linebackers are even faster (even though he came from the SEC). He's also incapable of dealing with losing at this point.
Can you imagine if someone with ridiculous intangibles like Tebow had this guy's talent?
Shots fired.

I don't think that's just a Ben thing though, but the offense in general. Usually if not's a dumb play call, it's a holding penalty. Or a personal foul, or a key drop, or a missed block or a turnover. Something somebody somewhere on the O mucks up to kill an important drive. For that one, it was a bad decision by Ben.
