not much you can do about that TD though. He's insane.

i guess ...
 
I don't get Tony Romo ... He's such a gifted kid but his decision making skills are average AT BEST. We won't win the big game with this man this year, or ever, unless he miraculously matures ...
 
Really pathetic second half display by Romo. This game is 100% on him, just like the loss to the Jets. The last two weeks were nice aberrations.

The Lions remind me of the Chicago Bears last year ...
 
you have a nice team sg but don't get too excited - your team has a long way to go.

rico - sadly, i agree (not with the idiotic last comment though) ... unless he turns this season around and makes a nice run in the playoffs, i want him out. enough is enough. he's just not intelligent enough to be a big time QB -

Are you joking?

I think they're gonna blow it on every single play.

We'll still finish 7-9.

I say 8-8 in worst case scenario ... there's a good team there, and if the bounces go your way (ask MC G about that!), you can even go better than that ...
 
The only thing about the second half in Arlington that wasn't hi-fucking-larious was that it was the Lions doing it. We're not going back to the playoffs for years.
 
It's for real though. And we talked about it a while back, the way you're drafting now. You had some good picks and you picked well. Which seems a simple formula, but most teams manage to fuck it up regardless. Also cleared the boards of older, expensive players (some of whom appeared to have washed up on the shores of Lake Michigan like so much flotsam) to make good cap room to secure the younger players. There's still Backus, but nobody's perfect.

Miami must really want Andrew Luck. I reckon the Colts will give them a good run for their money. I have suspicions about Manning, and I think they do too. They shouldn't even think about winning a game until they know his situation for real.

Didn't see much of the Bears yesterday. How many sacks this time?
[/quote]


He tossed it up less than 20 times. Only completed nine. It was the Forte and Hester show. He was sacked once. Don't know if it was tactical or because Cutler was busted up.

MC - what's your thoughts re: Manning? Any college highlights for us this week?
[/quote]


Basically just that he might not come back. Multiple procedures on the neck, fused vertebrates. It's a risk. He won't want to go out like that, but you have to make a choice sometimes, or have someone else make it for you.

Check this one quickly - RB at Virginia Tech, Wilson. He's stepped up to replace Evans and Tyrod, and he's not bad. Consistent production, and he's a sprinter. As he shows here. Runs 126 yards for a 19 yard gain.

best 19 yard run ever
 
Wisconsin gave Nebraska a warm welcome to the Big10, lighting them up for almost fifty points. Interesting situation with their QB, Russell Wilson. He was a three year starter at NC State, but they released him from his scholarship as he had been drafted to MLB and was playing in the minors, disrupting his offseason schedule. As a graduate, he could transfer to another post-grad program and play immediately in his final year of eligibility. He has already thrown for 1400 yards in five games, completing almost 75%. 13-1 TDs to INT ratio.

There's some debate to be had about this I suppose, especially after Cam Newton's effectively one-and-out career at Auburn. Admittedly, Wilson didn't seek a move away from NC State, they initiated his release (wonder how they're feeling about that now given they're 0-2 in their ACC division), so it would be unfair not to allow him to see his final year of eligibility out. The interesting thing is how it affects his draft status (if he chooses to go pro in football, having already been drafted in baseball). He was a dubious prospect last year, even though he was one of the ACC's better signal callers. He's under six foot, and I think scouts saw him as conflicted (as NC State obviously did). Now he's a Heisman contender and is torching teams with the Badgers. Makes you wonder what all the scouting is worth.

Good news in the Big 12 - they've agreed a revenue sharing deal. All of the general TV monies will be put in a pot and divided equally (leaving teams to keep revenues gained from their own stations - Texas weren't about to give up the $15m a year they get from ESPN for the Longhorns Network after they climbed over dead bodies to get it). Should convince Missouri to stay, securing the future of the conference. Rumours they are looking to hijack TCU's move to the Big East now, and possibly looking at Houston/SMU/Boise in further expansion (or 'respansion' I suppose as they've lost a bunch of members). A good thing for me. The idea of the Big 12 dissolving and Texas/Oklahoma/OK State possibly not being in the same division anymore doesn't sit well. Of course, I fully expect Texas to try and get conference games to slide down to the Longhorn network, which will open the can of worms again. All revenue deals in 1A at the moment are basically glorified games of three card monte.
 
Texas have released Garrett Gilbert from his scholarship. He'll be out for the season injured anyway (and presumably is taking an injury red shirt) so will have two years of eligibility when he transfers.
 
Looks like TCU are going to buy out of their agreed move to the Big East and join the Big12 instead. Much better fit for their fans, and for football in general. The Big East move was always a bit strange. They'd be travelling like 1500 miles to each game. Madness. Big12 will be harder to get out of, but will improve their (already decent) recruiting.

Just hope in all this expansion that someone picks up Boise.
 
Sooners are taking Texas to the fucking shed in Dallas. 55-10 in the 4th right now. Oklahoma defence has outscored the Texas offence 21-3. Beasting.
