Gametime - NFL 2010 / 2011

[TKGAngel]

I believe CNN has called the Bills the best 0-7 team that has ever played. Way to call us the tallest dwarf.

And the Vikes have apparently waived Randy Moss.

[Don Quixote]

And the Vikes have apparently waived Randy Moss.What did Moss do?

[extramundane]

What did Moss do?

Trashed Minnesota's strategy and coaching during the post-game presser yesterday. Wearing a Red Sox hat while praising the Pats & verbally fellating Belichick probably didn't help either.

Also, I believe Buffalo is first in the waiver priority. Perhaps the best 0-7 team ever can be an EVEN BETTER 0-8?

[Insomniac]

Funny thing is, during his press conf after the Week 1 game, he was wearing a SF Giants hat.

His press conference yesterday was really crazy. I feel bad for him in the sense that he really doesn't want to talk and we see what the outcomes are almost every time he does. Last year it was you can put the weight of the world on my shoulders, then this year they've been disasters. He speaks way too freely.

Pats won't put a waiver claim in since they're #32. They could make an offer if he actually cleared waivers. Part of me thinks he will (getting traded and then cut in a month would seem to make everyone hesitant), but it's the NFL, it just takes one team.

Yesterday, it looked like he really regretted forcing his way out of New England.

[dando]

Moss waived. (http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/news/story?id=5752939)

[Don Quixote]

TO, Ocho and Moss on the same team. Make it happen! :thumbup::thumbup:

[Insomniac]

Various league sources told ESPN NFL Insider Adam Schefter that the Dallas Cowboys, Washington Redskins, Chicago Bears, St. Louis Rams, Miami Dolphins, Oakland Raiders, Kansas City Chiefs, Seattle Seahawks, New York Jets and even the Patriots are among the teams possibly interested in claiming Moss.

I like how "ESPN NFL Insider" is a title now.

[Don Quixote]

So, there is your list of teams that believe that team chemistry is not important. :gomer:

Actually The Turd mentioned that this AM as well. Congrats. :p

So, there is your list of teams that believe that team chemistry is not important. :gomer:

That's just about right. MN decided that Favre gives them enough drama. Even told Moss to find his own way home from Boston. Would not take him on team charter.

Despite your list, can I hope that the era of the prima donna WR is about over? It seems a number of teams are doing just fine with capable WRs who understand this is a team sport and blocking and tackling, not just circus catches and showboating, are parts of the sport too.

Moss looked terrible yesterday. Almost seemed as if he didn't want to try because that way failing in front of NE fans wouldn't be so hard to take.

[chop456]

49ers 2-6
Buffalo 0-7
Browns 2-5
Bungles 2-5
Denver 2-6
Cowboys 1-6
Vikings 2-5
Detroit 2-6
Carolina 1-6

Misery loves company. :p

Lions > Cowboys = :laugh:

[WickerBill]

Lions > Cowboys = :laugh:


I don't think that's a fluke, either. I think the Lions would beat the boys by 21. Cowboys are playing for a paycheck, the Lions are playing with heart.

[extramundane]

Is Jamarcus Russell available?
:eek:

Maybe not (http://latimesblogs.latimes.com/sports_blog/2010/11/former-raiders-quarterback-jamarcus-russell-works-out-for-redskins.html).


Former No. 1 overall pick JaMarcus Russell, who was cut by the Oakland Raiders during the offseason after three lackluster seasons, worked out for the Redskins on Tuesday.

This makes perfect sense. :saywhat:

[chop456]

I believe CNN has called the Bills the best 0-7 team that has ever played.

I predict the Bills will bust their cherry this weekend.

Against the NFL's last-ranked run defense, I'm sure Martz will call 60 pass plays. :gomer:

[WickerBill]

[Insomniac]

Titans claim Moss. Only team to try, so this could be his last shot.

The more I think about it, Moss is in a tough spot in his career. He has enough to demand double coverage, but he can't beat it anymore. It's going to be hard to get paid like a top WR without the numbers or to simply make it easier for everyone else.

Can he change his game at this point to run more routes? I don't think he can simply be a decoy and be happy (no matter how helpful it is).

Every week, they find a new & creative way to lose. This week Lindell misses a PAT after making his last 321 in a row.

Between the Bills and the Sabres, the sporting angst level around here is at Buffcon1.

Heh. One of the Bears actually got a big paw on it and blocked it.

I'm glad to see that Collie has nothing more than a concussion after that nasty hit he took in Philly. And also kudos to the Philly fans for showing some class by respectfully applauding while he was being wheeled off on the stretcher.

[dando]

Favretastic! :gomer:

Glad to hear that Collie is OK. I feared the worst. That play shows the problem with the current rule the NFL is enforcing. Collie ducked his head into a head shot by Coleman. By rule maybe a penalty, but it was hardly intentional. If they fine Coleman for that hit it will be a disgrace.

I wanna see Jerry Jones puke blood tonight.Apparently you'll have to wait until next week in E Rutherford... But I'm having a hard time believing Wade will still be employed past about 2 pm today.

Garrett to finish the year as head coach is my prediction. They simply suck. They do things I yell at 10 year old pop warner players for doing. And some things like challenges and time outs which are totally the coaches job he screws up.

Great beat down on the Pats. The celebration was way over the top. The Patriots aren't what they once were. It's really not that big of a deal. Especially considering the majority of the people who were so over the top with it have won Super Bowls.

I can't believe the Jets made that come back.

[Andrew Longman]

:laugh:

Jerry = :tony:Ain't it true? I hate Jimmy Johnson, but that was about the last smart thing Jerry Jones did. Switzer IMO lived off the residue of Johnson. The history since then have been hacks and thugs and egos and mouths and not a lot of the real thing.

[Andrew Longman]

The celebration was way over the top.Well, we are talking about the Browns.

And McCoy looks like he might actually be the real deal.
I can't believe the Jets made that come back.Well, we are talking about the Lions.

The Lions who used a defensive end as a place kicker and who threw a pass (from a back up) on third down inside 2 minutes when they could have run 40 seconds off the clock with a run.

But talking about hype, how awful did the Vikings look? They were terrible. Farve was terrible. But OMG they came back and "their season is saved". Sorry, but if they win three games in the second half of the season it should be considered a success. Think about it. They beat Detroit, Dallas, and AZ. And none of the teams that beat them are any great shakes. Figure they win Buffalo (sorry TKG), WASH, and one of the CHI games. Maybe.

[dando]

I can't believe the Jets made that come back.

It was against the Lions. Srsly?

Well, I will give you that I was shocked that Sanchez pulled that off. I'm not a Sanchez lover. The Lions are improved, but they shouldn't be able to hang with the J-E-T-S yet. Especially with Calvin Johnson getting shutdown (and killing my FFL team). :saywhat:

:thumbup: I feel the same way. Wade coached Denver into his image (soft and complacent) after Reeves left, and he did the same for the Cowboys... but I still like him.

And the other point -- you won't see another drubbing like that until Green Bay plays Denver. The Broncos can give up points like nobody's business.

More Bronco problems. DJ Williams, DUI #2. :shakehead


After that, he said he realized he needed to get a designated driver whenever he went out partying, and the team provides drivers to its players but Williams didn't use one Friday.

Somehow that seems wrong. If a guy has a problem, should the team be enabling it?

Call me a prude but, especially in season, players should not be out partying beyond the point of being able to drive anyway.

In know, old school old fart. I'll be quiet.

Agreed, especially in this age of social media. One sloppy, sloppy night out on the town that might not result in an arrest could still lead you to a starring role on Deadspin thanks to a co-ed with a cell phone. (Saw it happen with a certain hockey player on my favorite team.)

I understand that these are big boys who are responsible for their own conduct, but I would hate to be reading an article like this (http://www.philly.com/dailynews/sports/top_sports/20101111_Pelle_Lindbergh_s_spirit_lives_on__25_yea rs_after_fatal_crash.html) about one of them years down the road.

The NFL actually has a program for all players. Call a number, someone will get you and also bring your car back home too. No questions asked and confidential. The purpose is to avoid drunk driving, which is why IMO, with this program the NFL has every right to come down hard on DUIs.

And the Bengals still had a shot to win after recovering the onsides kick.

The Jets keep finding a way to win, I don't think it's only luck anymore. :(

I don't think the Bryant TD was in any way related to Megatron's TD. Megatron's was the whole going to the ground thing. In Bryant's I don't know what they saw that definitively showed he caught it. I mean, it certainly looked like he did, but I didn't see a clear angle showing it. A better comparison to Megatron's TD would be the one the Texans scored. Guy was going to the ground, on the ground and lost possession. How was that overturned into a TD?

1. Yup. Plus they were gifted a 15 yard penalty on the onside KO. And then Gresh fumbled a couple of plays later. Didn't listen to the entire game (not on TeeVee here), but the first two TOs were a pick six and then a fumble on the first play of the following possession, resulting in a TD. :saywhat:

2. Sanchez was running around like Flutie Jr. to save his life, pulling passes out of his arse from the bits I watched. Dumb, dumb, dumb decisions @ the end of the OT by the Clowns. They should have knocked down the INT inside the 5 (give Cribbs a chance to return a punt), and then the play calling to throw the ball instead of pounding Hillis and accepting a tie. Dumb.

3. Didn't see the Texans play, so I can't compare that one. The CJ play was not exactly like the Dez catch, but it reversals were a contrast and I don't get why either was overturned.

And now the Nags putting 49 up on KC. :eek:

[Ed_Severson]

Eh, "recovering the onside kick" is a pretty diplomatic way to say the refs handed them the ball out of thin air for no particular reason. That was an absolutely terrible call. Garcon was both down by contact and had his forward progress completely stopped long before the ball came out of his hands. I don't understand why the NFL can't get calls in that situation correct, but they are atrocious at it.

Elsewhere, Jason Garrett ... Cowboys Head Coach for Life? :tony:

Far from it. Not a Colts fan by even the wildest stretch of the imagination, despite holding season tickets -- I'll happily claim maybe the NFL's worst-ever 6-3 team, the 2010 Chicago Bears. :) Even the Bengals fans near me thought it was a lousy call.

If you're a Colts fan, though, having a giftwrapped 5 turnovers and only beating that team by 6 points should have you sweating bullets. It's been a long time since their offense looked so toothless on a consistent basis.

[TKGAngel]

Bills win. Of course, because of the stupid blackout rules (and the inability to find a working online stream), I couldn't see the game!

Garcon was both down by contact and had his forward progress completely stopped long before the ball came out of his hands.

The last time you see the ball as everyone flies in his grip on the ball is tenuous at best and he's not down. While he probably did go down and then have it ripped away, there was no replay view that showed that he was down with possession. It wouldn't have been overturned even if it was something that could be challenged.

It was good to see Chad Johnson again. I hope he comes back full time and leaves Ocho Cinco in the locker room from now on.

I think Cribbs was out of the game with an injury, but I get your point.

Speaking of knocking it down, didn't work so well for the Texans. :)

I don't understand why the NFL can't get calls in that situation correct, but they are atrocious at it.

I'd say with 10 guys smashing into each other and a pile forming so fast, it's not that easy to see what is going on in the middle. They have to clearly see someone has it before the pile starts. After that, it's up for grabs. Garcon should've held onto it.

It was interesting that the play isn't reviewable.

Cleveland debacle, Pittsburgh beating. 2010 New England Patriots!

Giving up 3 TDs to the Steelers in the 4th quarter will let Belichick beat home 60 minutes vs the Colts next week.

After -welcome to Snyderball. This is the guy who paid $100mil to a defensive tackle and doesn't even start him.

Dan Snyder re-takes the lead of the Inept Team Owner of the Year competition by signing Donovan McNabb to a 5-year, $78 million ($40mil guaranteed) extension. :saywhat:

I was dumb enough to believe he was finally going to stand aside. They give Haynesworth all that money and now McNabb. Amazing.

According to Mort, there is some question on the guarantee. He says it's $10m with a Redskins option for the rest.

I just read that here (http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/news/story?id=5812371).


One of the contract's most significant points is a payment due this offseason, when the Redskins must decide whether or not to pay McNabb a $10 million option bonus. If they do, it would trigger the rest of the contract and make Washington liable for McNabb's $2.5 million base salary in 2011.

So in essence, the Redskins paid McNabb $3.75 million in 2010 for the right to pay him $12.5 million in 2011 and control his rights. If the Redskins cut him after this season or trade him, they are only on the hook for the $3.75 million.

But 2012 on, he's getting between $12-13.5mil base salary. Because, y'know, he's likely to get better as he ages. :saywhat:

Adam Schefter says it's $3.5M with an option bonus of $10M for 2011. So they can cut him for $3.5M. I don't know what the $3.5M is though.

So I guess Dan Snyder isn't that dumb. McNabb may've gotten a $3.5M "financial apology". Must be nice.

Now that we've seen some of the fine print, I'm sure that was the intent all along, but that's lot of work for the contractual equivalent of the waterbucket over the door prank.

Very glad I'm not a 'skins fan.

I like the blue of the Bills alleged "new" look, but the rest is a hot blessed mess. :yuck:

Boy, those really suck.

I notice nothing predicted for Green Bay, which doesn't surprise me much.
