NFL '11

[dando]

Off season funness over. Ler's light this candle.

Good start for the Clowns. First Q stats: 10 plays, 18 yards, 7 penalties, 48 yards (2 false starts, 1 D holding, personal foul on the bench, offside, pass interference on the O, personal foul for a late hit). And the Bungles O was inept in the pre-season. Oh, and McCoy's first completion was to himself for -5 yards. :rofl:

[dando]

Texans 24, Indy zip. Gonna be a long season for Colts fan.

EDIT: 34-0 going into halftime. There's still for #4 to be Blue and White Jeebus. :gomer:

EDIT 2: Bears, Bills and Ravens...oh my!

-Kevin

[NismoZ]

Bears could be undefeated after today!:gomer:

[cameraman]

Personal foul on the bench in the first quarter? What was that all about?

[dando]

Personal foul on the bench in the first quarter? What was that all about?

Apparently someone pushed or ran over a ref. Hard to tell since the CBS broadcast was pathetic. They didn't even have live coverage of the winning TD. Not sure which looked worse on that play, the Clowns D/coaching staff or CBS coverage. :saywhat: In any case: Who Dey! :D Next up...@ Denver. Pay back time, baby! :gomer:

-KevinThe Browns organization should refund the ticket price to every person who attended that game and then be brought up on charges for impersonating a professional sports team. And they should individually apologize to every fan who has stuck with them through this mess of a goat rodeo. :yuck: :gomer:

[extramundane]

I'm still stunned that Rexy & the Snyders played like a winning professional team. :eek:

Then again, on a day where Ryan Fitzpatrick and Jay Cutler looked like superstars, I guess anything's possible.

I'm stunned that the Bills won. I'm also stunned that the team appears to have found a perfectly cromulent tight end. When it's been four years since a Bills tight end has had a multi-TD game, and 19 years since a TE had a multi-TD game on the road, you know your team has struggled at the position.

[SteveH]

This is for you, Rex Ryan. Great victory!

You sound OSU fan complaining about the TE...Jake Stoneburner (gotta love that name) has 4 TDs in 2 games this season. I don't think we've hade 4 TDs total from a TE over the past decade +. :saywhat:

Did Broncos fans not suffer enough during Josh McDaniel's complete dismantling of the franchise? Now these clowns want to parade one of his biggest blunders around for all to see.

They must be undercover Raiders fans.

[WickerBill]

Awfully quiet, Bengals fans. You realize the Broncos were minus Champ Bailey, two starting wideouts, starting running back, best pass rusher, and have Neckbeard playing quarterback... right?

Congrats, tallest dwarf. :gomer: BTW, the NFL should start having QBs wear skirts after that personal foul that was called for tackling/pressuring neckbeard. :saywhat: :shakehead (that plus the 'horse collar' in the end zone that wasn't even close)

And do you srsly think we're going to chirp about the Bungles other than beating the Clowns? :gomer:

-Kevin

[nrc]

Sure, it's disappointing that the Bengals couldn't pull out out a win against a depleted Broncos squad. But considering the venue, the youth of the offense, and how little time they've had to prepare in a completely new offense, I'm not unhappy. They have huge potential and I'm thrilled with Green and Dalton.

The defense was a big disappointment. They're experienced enough that they shouldn't be giving up big plays and third downs against second stringers. I think they can play better. We'll see.

[Gnam]

Cheer up Cincy. Santa Claus is coming town early this year with a gift win wrapped up in 49er red and gold.

As long as the game has a 4th quarter, the Niners will figure out a way to lose. :irked:

[WickerBill]

I have high hopes for the 49ers -- maybe not in 2011, but I think they're on the right path with personnel and coaching.

This was a moment in the Bengals Broncos game that was telling. Fourth quarter, running out of time, Denver has given up the ball again and Cincinnati has a chance to move down the field and kick a field goal. Between plays, the camera cuts to Marvin Lewis on the sidelines. Immediately, I think "oh yeah, Marvin Lewis. We'll be OK"

Is that bad?

[TKGAngel]

It's Tuesday and I think I've finally calmed down from Sunday's Bills/Raiders game. What a comeback by Fitz & the gang.

Too bad the Evil Empire and Darth Hoodie come to town next weekend to ruin everyone's buzz. :(

[Don Quixote]

My favorite quarterback Jay Cutler was sacked 6 times on Sunday???!!!!! Is there anything left of poor Jay? What gives Chicago folks, bad protection or holding onto the ball too long? I am guessing (b). :D

Don't be so sure:

Jay Cutler was sacked 51 times in 37 games with Denver. As a Bear, he's been sacked 98 times in 33 games.

[nrc]

Please Dando. You lost to a team with Tim Tebow at wide reciever. :gomer:

It's A. If anything he fired off a few too quickly. On a few sacks, no one blocked the rusher. Cutler would drop back three steps and then BLAM. Helmet to his back. It was pitiful and has been for at least 3 years. Green Bay will kill him on Sunday.

[chop456]

Don't be so sure:

Jay Cutler was sacked 51 times in 37 games with Denver. As a Bear, he's been sacked 98 times in 33 games.

ESPN radio gave a stat yesterday that compared 2008 in Denver to the past 2 season in Chicago. It was something like 1 sack per 52 dropbacks with Denver to 1/9 with Chicago. It's pathetic and I feel sorry for him.

Let's sign the first good quarterback we've had in 40 years, then kill him! :gomer:

[SteveH]

11 sacks in two games. Based on that he'll get sacked 88 times this year.

However, that will never happen as he'll be on the IR long before the season ends.

[dando]

I was so excited for Cutler to become a Bear and they've since given him no protection and no receivers. Its maddening.

If they don't drastically improve the line and add at least one WR who can get open occasionally they will ruin a guy who has a ton of potential.

The O line and the receivers were weak when they traded for him. A trade in which they gave up draft choices and any opportunity to improve either situation.

Nice win for the Bills. I will not choose them as my adopted team this season, because that would seal their fate. ;)

The Colts are snakebit. That was painful to watch last night. Maybe they can call up Don Strock to be their qb for the rest of the season. I think he is only in his late 60s or early 70s.

And as r2c says, Raidaaaaaaaz!!!!!!!!!!!

Hey, hey, hay...Santa delivered. Nobody wanted to open the gifts.

I have never seen some of the crap that went on in that game:
* False start on the entire 49ers O-line.
* 0:11 left in the 4th quarter. Screw it let's take a safety.
* Frank Gore on the bench with the game on the line.

What's really funny is the 49ers are going to spend the week in Youngstown, OH getting ready to play the Eagles. To the victor go the spoils.

The question is will Jeffrey Lowrey and the fans think that and how much blame gets stuck on Reid.

Right now turning around the 49ers and Lions shows the possibilities without new big name NFL coaches. Reid has seduced Philly into complacency by making the playoffs and even the NFC championship so much. At some point people are going to say he will never take them over the top.
