View Full Version : Gametime - NFL 2010 / 2011
Palmer was pretty bad today. Pressure and the weather had something to do with it, but there were still too many just plain bad decisions and bad throws.
On the bright side, Gresham is a monster and Shipley is always in the right place. So Palmer has someplace to go when the the Dynamic Duo are doubled up. If he can hit the target.
50/50 odds on whether he would hit water falling out of a boat. :saywhat: The radio guys gave it to him pretty good yesterday. I'll grant the weather was an issue early, but it stopped raining in the second half if not earlier in the game. Gresh and Ship are the best picks since Rey Rey, which make up for the gaffes picking Simpson and Smith. :irked:

Eagles starting quarterback Kevin Kolb, R.I.P. (http://www.philly.com/philly/sports/eagles/20100927_Gonzo___Eagles_starting_quarterback_Kevin _Kolb__R_I_P_.html)
Eagles starting quarterback Kevin Kolb - who grew from humble, hog-hunting roots into a man anointed by Andy Reid and the organization as the heir to a kingdom with no crown - is dead. He passed away not long after executing his duties as team leader and the face of the franchise for less than a half of one football game.
He is survived by anger, betrayal, pity, and doubt, as well as his immediate relative, Eagles backup quarterback Kevin Kolb - a man who bears a striking resemblance to his kin but who recently suffered a horrible setback in life that left him cut off at the knees.

http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/news/story?id=5627261
NEW ORLEANS -- Veteran kicker John Carney is returning to the New Orleans Saints.
Carney's agent, Jack Mills, confirmed in an e-mail Tuesday to The Associated Press that his client would be signing a contract with his former team. The deal is for one year, a league source told ESPN NFL Insider Adam Schefter.
Carney, who is 46, worked out for the Saints Tuesday after starting kicker Garrett Hartley missed a 29-yard field goal in overtime Sunday that would have given the Saints a 27-24 win over the Atlanta Falcons.

No whining. The Browns fought hard and won. The Bengals lost because they gave up two turn-overs in their own end and allowed a field goal to get blocked.
The bright side for Bengals fans is that it actually was a breakout game for T.O. and Palmer was sharp passing, even though he made a couple of critical mistakes handling the ball.
Yes, there were some really bad calls in the game. But you can't blame those for the loss when the Bengals didn't take care of what was in their control.

Not whining, just sayin'. We were outplayed on both lines for sure. That's where the battle was won and lost. I'm just disgusted about the call on Ndukwe before halftime compared to the heinous hit Ship took. One was right, the other was bogus.
The first TO was in Clowns territory and resulted in a punt. The second resulted in the final difference. The blocked FG was a continuation of what happened last season in Cleveland. Also, TO's breakout game was against Eric Wright. We'll see if that continues. I listened to some of the Ken Brew show after the game, and he ranted about CP's preparedness between several plays. Also note: a 121 passer rating is not merited when you fumble the ball twice. :saywhat:
The bottom line is they played the first half like they did against the Pats and it was too late to rally in the second half. Congrats, Clowns. Enjoy the first of your 4 Ws this season. :gomer:

Yes, in general the NFL has gone overboard on the roughing calls. When a defender is closing rapidly to make a play he can't defy physics and not hit the receiver hard. It's fair to say that they can't launch or go head-to-head but you can't expect them to try to pull up and risk missing the tackle entirely.
The hit on Shipley was late and to the head, so that's an entirely different matter.

It seems to be a bit maddening with the "defenseless receiver" calls because you know if the guy caught the ball (and maybe even got their hands on it) there would be no penalty. It doesn't make sense that the rule is only enforced if the receiver doesn't touch the ball. It should be a penalty regardless if the hit is illegal.

I don't think taking Moss off the roster makes the Pats any more or less of a contender. If you want to play for BB, you have to toe the line, including not complaining at press conferences after a win that you didn't get enough touches. Everybody knows what the deal is.
I don't think taking Moss off the roster makes the Pats any more or less of a contender.
:confused: Must be the altitude affecting your brain cells (insane in the membrane!). w/o Moss, the Pats are like the Bungles last season when TJ left and Ocho was the only veteran receiver (well, they did have a WR with really, really short arms named Coles, tho :saywhat:). IMO. Altho, Brady is significantly better than CP, and I hear he can walk on water and does not cast a shadow. :gomer:

I disagree grasshopper. Moss's positives on the field are counter-balanced by his negatives in the locker room.

I think the plan all year was the young defense would get better. The other half of that was the offense would be top notch. I'm not a scout, but it sure seemed like everyone said Moss took 1.5 to 2 guys to cover. Even if he is dogging it, if he goes deep, 2 guys are on him.
Sure his numbers are low so far this year, but we're 4 weeks in. Moss has been killing defenses for over 10 years. Now who do they rely on? There are 12 more games to find out I guess.
Today, this doesn't seem like a move that helps the offense. Whatever he was doing behind the scenes, must've been pretty bad.

I agree with the philosophy to get something for a guy who won't be back, but when they traded Richard Seymour, Belichick said they got significant compensation for a significant player. Moss is a significant player, but they didn't get significant compensation. There is another aspect to this. Also, my guess is once the news leaked last night, they had reached the point of no return. Probably hurt the leverage for the Patriots.
Also, there is no way they are giving up or even thinking they can't win. That mentality isn't anywhere in Belichick's or Brady's mind. It's only week 5, only one team is undefeated. This is a very open season.

Dude, a BAD CP torched the Browns, but 2 TOs (not that TO, 2 CP fumbles) and a blocked FG == loss. Plus, the Clowns had 4 sacks to 1 for the Bungles, and I'm willing to be the penalty yardage was higher for Cincy.There really aren't any dumpster fire (did I just use Herdspeak? :saywhat:) teams this season (except maybe SF if Singletary drops his pants again). Keep in mind that Cincy had two close games with the Clowns last season, including OT in the first game (same week, IIRC). Moss made teams double cover him, which opened up Welker, et al. Plus the fact that the Pats have a suspect running game doesn't help this make any more sense. And any moron knows that UM has the worst pass defense than *any* team this season. :gomer: BTW, the Clowns pass D is 25th of 32. Dork. :p

BB is removing a cancer on the team that we all thought would metastasize the moment he walked in the locker room. Surprisingly he was a net positive for a few years but it is time to go the moment BB decides Moss is not "coachable". That time is now.
Maybe with Farve Moss can get all feel goody again.

Agreed that it's addition by subtraction (much what like could have happened in Cincy before last season, but that situation worked itself out). One problem is that the Pats don't have a strong running game (after also trading away another problem child in Maronney and then losing Faulk for the season). Another problem is that WRs don't usually contribute right away. It usually takes a couple of seasons for WRs to become productive. So BB is sitting on a pile of draft picks with an aging QB and OL.

Randy Moss in Minnesota was always a guilty pleasure for me. I liked almost everything about him, from the faux moon to the "straight cash homey" to the otherworldly talent. Then he went to Oakland, and I'm contractually bound to not root for him there. Then he went to NE, and I am not allowed to root for him there, either. Now, back to Minnesota, where his success means success for Summer's Eve, too.

Never happening. The Patriots aren't going to give up the compensation (rumored to be a 1 and 2 for an AFC team) to either have him for 9 - 10 games or the big money to sign him long term without having any idea how he'd do in their system. Plus he's one strike away from a 1 year suspension.
Even the Deion Branch talk, I doubt it happens, They aren't paying him $6M and I doubt he'd take a pay cut because Seattle isn't about to just cut him.

The best we can hope for is someone that they can start developing next year.Troy Smith. :gomer:
Dando informs me that Colt McCoy will get his first start against the Steelers this week. I think Jay Cutler's sack record of 9 in one half of football is in jeopardy. Show of hands for those who think he will make it all the way through the game.
He was last heard uttering the words, "Feet don't fail me now!" :gomer: Unlike Cutler, McBoy can run. I'll guess 4 sacks and a broken something or other and Josh Cribbs (aka: Denard Robinson Sr.) as the emergency QB. :D

My guess is that the Steelers, knowing that he is an inexperienced rookie, will take pity on him, not hit him with multiple look zone blitzes, and stay back in coverage. :gomer: If McCoy lines up in the shotgun, and after taking the snap immediately throws the ball 10 yards out of bounds, he will only be sacked 5 times in the game. :D

Well Ank tells us he has played the last four years with the worst offensive line in the world so he should be used to scrambling shouldn't he?

Good point, but Ank is wrong. He now plays behind the worst O line in the world. :\

Purple Jeebus stinks the place up and looks like a God compared to Sanchez, who manages to win with a 59 QBR*. His avg. completion of 4.3 is almost a yard less than the avg YPC of their 2 RBs. :gomer:
As for Moss - 20 yard avg. on 4 rec. is pretty decent for G1.
*Which pales in comparison to Todd Collins' awesome stats/win on Sunday.

Favre being Farve with just too much age on his body to actually win.
I wonder which sideline reporter he was texting between possessions?

Six-freaking-point-two! The Bears will win the superbowl. Any team that can win with a qb performance that bad is destined for great things. :thumbup:

Can we start a pool on what day Jerry Jones' head explodes? :thumbup:Trevor asked during the game why Phillips always looks confused. I thought it was a good observation I failed to make, though I would call it more "perplexed".
I'm wondering if he will last until the end of the season.
The thing is a team without natural talent can be coached to play better through discipline and better teamwork. They may not win a championship, but they can win more.
A team that fundamentally lacks character and discipline is not suddenly going to get it from a coach who never got it in the past. Some people need to be cut, benched, fined and otherwise woken up to realize they won't have a job unless they show character. The Boys ain't got it and it is too late for Phillips to ask for it. Given some of Jones' hires, I doubt he is very credible about demanding it either.
This is fun:)
Favre 4 TDs against the Jets' D. :thumbup: :gomer:

That win may be more a product of playing a team who's owner wants them to be even worse than they currently are.
But holy mother of whatever, Julius Peppers is a maniac.

Considering how badly the media thought Pittsburgh was going to destroy McCoy, 23-33 for 281 and a TD against the Steelers' D ain't a bad first game.

I figured he would get knocked out of the game by blitzing Steeler thugs. So maybe the Browns do have a future.

Ummm, not to be a h8r :gomer:...but you failed to mention 2 INTs and the TD came in garbage time towards the end of the game. That being said, an 80.5 passer rating ain't bad, but I wonder how he would fair a second time through since the Stealers didn't have much to prep on in short notice. Also, he did manage to complete passes longer than 10 yards unlike Brady Queen. :gomer:

4 minutes to go to cut the lead to 11 is garbage time? Wow. Hater.

Just like your love for Favre. :gomer: I gave him some love, but I ain't buying yet. Check the PBP, almost 1/2 his yards came in the last half of the 4th quarter. YMMV. :shakehead

Let's not forget Seneca Wallace. The Browns have 2 QBs better than Palmer.
So far this season, all but six or seven teams have quarterbacks better than Carson Palmer. That's not something anyone should strain a muscle patting themselves on that back over at this stage.
As for McCoy, he did a good job for a rookie in his first start on the road against the Steelers. While I wouldn't call his score at the end of the game "garbage time", it looked to me like the Steelers were playing it pretty conservative at that point. I didn't see the kind of pressure that they would normally bring.

The Steelers aren't really a game plan team.

Since all of our respective teams are in the crapper already this year, we should all be given a pass for childish back and forth sniping for the rest of the season.

Fixed. :saywhat:
OK, so Greenie & Golic have been going @ it pretty hard the past two days on the subject of head shots in the NFL. What's everyone's take on the hits this past weekend? I'm thinking Merriweather's was the only hit that deserves a possible suspension under the new rules being released today. Harrison's hit on Massaquoi was borderline.

I don't want to see the NFL go the way of racing in the US, but the head hunting has got to stop.
