Why the hate? I didn't realize the 49ers and Ravens were such bitter enemies. The 49ers haven't even been relevant in the last 8 Years.

I didn't have any issue with the Niners until I moved to the Bay Area and was surrounded by insufferable Niners fans.

Hate by definition isn't centered. It's hate. Regardless, I'll bite this once and then I'm done cause I'm not going to get into something lengthy argument about Cowherd's nonsense.

The caller who called in said that Romo was 31 years old and at that age had already developed into the QB he was going to be. He also pointed out that he's buckled anytime a playoff opportunity or big game has presented itself whereas someone like Aaron Rodgers at a much younger age has already won playoff games and has had success in the league. Cowherd trotted out that 31 isn't a big deal for a QB (a fair point) and it wasn't fair considering Aaron's "been in the league a number of years before he had success" (not so great a point), three of which he sat down behind Brent. He then goes into his usual statistics rambling comparing the two and finally goes on with his tongue in cheek "Are you doubting Tony Romo, the American hero?" line.

So I'm not hearing what I want to hear. I'm hearing a bullshit point that doesn't say anything outside of Aaron Rodgers took far shorter a time to have more success than Romo has had his entire career.
2 weeks ago Cowherd didn't like Romo the player. He's trolling everyone now.

I eagerly wait to see what shuffling Juan Castillo does to fix the D.

A nice start would be to call a blitz this week. He needs to stop defering to Washburn so much. I like the wide 9, but you cant just rush 4 guys every down in the NFL, any QB will eventually beat that.
 
Looks like me and some buddies are going to try to get some tickets off Stubhub to go to the Packers/Lions game on American Thanksgiving.

What should I expect from the Detroit fans considering one of my friends is a Packers fan?
 
I hope my Ravens win on Sunday Night. I'm a little pessimistic since we always choke on primetime. Ofcourse except during our SuperBowl year, that was luck.
 
This must have been fun:

Just sold my Jags tickets.

We have the worst offense in the league, I am betting that I will have more beers in me than the Jags have points this Sunday.

Saints will massacre us.

Im just counting down the days we can get rid of this moronic coaching staff.

Bills - Bengals is a HUGE test for the Bills. They just slayed the dragon. They need to make sure they don't take the "lowly" Bengals for granted or they're going to get slapped in the mouth.

If they can win this one in a convincing fashion I'll feel so much better about this team. But I have my doubts -- a win like this week's can cause a hangover.

I'm really not worried.

Haven't beaten us in the last 10 games, so they're due, but they have a rookie QB going and we torched them last year when Joseph went down with an injury.

It was hilarious. We were up in 509 and headed towards concessions when it really opened up. Did anyone gif the guys attempting to bail out the first row? Supposedly Charlotte got 5 inches of rain in an hour out of that storm. When we came back after halftime water in the tunnels looked like it was waist deep.

Nice to know our D coordinator is really just a figure head and the DLINE coach runs the show.

No wait I don't mean "nice" I meant to say sad. Sad and pathetic.
 
That 3rd and 21 really was some lame defense/effort by the Redskins.

They put 8 up on the line. Sorta rush 8 against the 7 Dallas had but it was half assed. When Romo released it 7 Redskins were across the LOS and 1 was a couple yards back off it.
Genius move to rush 3 or whatever it was of their undersized LBs or DBs right into Dallas big OL.
 
First week doing this.

DET @ DAL - Dallas's defensive penetration should keep Stafford uncomfortable. A healthier Romo should help. The question is can Dallas's corners keep Megatron at bay?
PIT @ HOU - I believe in the Texans this year, and I think Pittsburgh will underestimate Houston's great offense.
SF @ PHI - Philly should start drawing up some better plays to get Shady more active. If he could be more reliable in short yardage situations, then Vick's injuries would be much less of a problem.
MIN @ KC - It's at home. The Vikings look awful. Whatever.
WAS @ STL - Rex-demption.
BUF @ CIN - Buffalo is gonna lose at some point, but I just can't see them losing to this deflated Bengals team.
TEN @ CLE - Should be a good game.
NO @ JAC - Jacsonville hasn't broken 20 points yet. New Orleans is a scoring machine. Game.
CAR @ CHI
ATL @ SEA
NYG @ ARI - Arizona looked pretty good at home in the opener, so I'll give them the benefit of the doubt.
DEN @ GB - The only undefeated team that we expected.
NE @ OAK - I like the Raiders at home. If they can keep errors minimal, I could see this game go their way.
MIA @ SD
NYJ @ BAL

too late


Don't want double or nothing but I'm cool with keeping a new bet with every head to head matchup, given the series history I see it more as a small long term investment than gambling...

Yea, right? I think we'll be exchanging the same $20 for a long time, lol.

Ugh, that fucking game. Losing is one thing, losing to the Cowboys, worse, but still, it's 2-1 and the sky isn't falling. But the fucking bandwagon fans that come out when the Cowboys win, I can't take it.

that's not how I see it... Dallas Cowboys lead 61-38-2


Let's be friends forever!
 
Going to my first charger game this season this week. I usually make it out to 2-3 games a year, so I'm somewhat excited, but this game is probably going to be full of suck.

Cason has been struggling, and him guarding Marshall will be full of lulz if Jammer can't get healthy by Sunday.
Chargers dl is going to be patchwork for the rest of the season it seems, and at this rate will sign Faizon Love from The Replacements (or Travis Johnson).
Antonio Gates :(
Philip Rivers has not had the same accuracy with the deep ball so far, and looks out of sorts with all those uncharacteristic turnovers.
Mathews has been truly impressive and doesn't deserve an even split of touches with Tolbert. Even if Tolbert is healthy, the distribution should be 70/30, Mathews.

Chargers eek out another should have been a blowout, 14-13, when Mike Scifres makes a game saving tackle on a Miami punt return with time expiring.

Series lead, sure, but when it counts?

H2H NFCCG: Redskins 2 Cowboys 0

:)


we could double it for playoffs and I'd still come out ahead!

Stop picking the Cowboys dammit. Now were destined to lose and have a season ending injury for one of our stars I'm sure.

To be honest I would have picked you to win if you had lost to the redskins, coming off a MNF win like that though? Should be a let down for you guys emotionally, meanwhile the Lions should hopefully stay hungry :). Biggest X factor is how much Fairley plays if Schefter was right and how effective he is teamed with our already beasting D-line.

also, the power rankings all having the Lions so high is still scary as fuck.
 
Medical update on Buddy Ryan
Former NFL coach Buddy Ryan, Rex Ryan's famous father, is preparing to radiation treatment to battle cancer that spread to the lymph nodes in his neck, according to his doctor.

Five days after the Jets' season-opening win over the Cowboys -- aka the Ryan Bowl -- Ryan underwent surgery at the University of Kentucky's Good Samaritan Hospital.

Ryan "has skin cancer. He's had a lot of skin cancers through the years," his surgeon, Dr. Joseph Valentino, told the Herald-Leader of Lexington. "This time, it had spread to the lymph nodes in his neck."

Soon, Ryan will begin five to six weeks of radiation therapy.

In an interview with the newspaper, conducted Monday, Ryan wore a Jets cap and his Super Bowl III ring from the 1968 Jets. He was an assistant coach on that team. Ryan still is as feisty as ever. He was asked about the 1993 sideline incident in Houston, where he punched fellow Oilers assistant Kevin Gilbride -- currently the Giants' offensive coordinator -- during a heated dispute.

"You mean Kevin Gil-dumb?" Ryan asked. "He was wrong. He came at me and what are you going to do when someone comes at you? I slugged him."

That was a statement win. Beating saints and Bears. Absolutely earned that #1 spot.

But that defense need to step up.

Holding a team to 17 points is stepping up in todays NFL.
 
NFL.com Power rankings...



When Victor Cruz and three-years-past-his-prime Brandon Jacobs are scoring on long touchdowns, you kind of know it's your day. That said, the G-Men earned this one by stifling the Eagles when it mattered most. Four stops (penalty included) inside the 2-yard line -- holding Philly to a field goal -- was the key point of Sunday's win and underlined the Jekyll-and-Hyde nature of a club that looked awful two weeks ago in Washington.


Cold....

Probably.

What's this about Broncos injuries?
The NFLN guys were saying y'all had a lot.
We've got a number of players out such as Champ Bailey, DJ Williams, and Elvis Dumervil. The defense has been giving up huge plays these last 3 games, not to mention having trouble stopping the running game. It will be interesting to see how we do against the Packers offense.

Yes, it will be interesting for Packers fans.

People have said Jacobs is "past his prime", but the dude averaged at least 5.0 YPC in three of his past four seasons. The problem as of late is him getting some carries, or at least carries for both he and Ahmad. But whatevs.

Also, Oakland is beating New England this week.
