NFL Regular Season Thread 2010

I can't stop thinking about it. It's the worst thing I've ever seen watching the NFL.
[/quote]It wasnt good. I've seen worse calls to be fair, but it was right up there. Soz mate.

I just watched it.....

I have no idea what the rules are anymore ???
 
That call was pretty bad, they do need to rewrite the rule, it says a catch needs to be controlled all the way through, but it seems since he was in the end zone, the moment he had possession it was a touchdown, and the play technically ended, at least that was the reasoning behind the call in the super bowl last year.

On the 49ers, well they are just not very good, but then neither are the Seahawks so it is a little surprising. That division is wide open this year.

Time for the Cowboys.

I wouldn't be surprised if a shananan inspired skin team beat us

Yeah, you were robbed. That was some outrageous shit.

Several things about that rule I don't get. If it happened anywhere around the pitch boundary you'd be fine. And if a RB breaks the plane of the EZ with the nose of the ball it's a TD and the play stops, regardless of what he does after that. What happened last night was mental. Lovie was a bit of a cunt about it too. Peppers earned his first paycheque though. BLAM! And Matt's back.

Other thoughts:

Lovely stuff from the Texans. Would love to see them go to January.

Lovely stuff from the Skins. Love to see Dallas lose.

Lovely stuff from TO. Playing on a lick and a promise and literally vacating the ballpark before a big play. The inevitable self-destruction of the Bengals begins earlier than anyone anticipated.

Lovely stuff from CJ2K. Mad running gold teefered bastard.

Lovely stuff from Sam Bradford. Good to see the ams trust him. 55 attempts! Completed a fair share too. You need to win a game though, throw it to Larry.
 
Oh good Christ. You'll massacre us. It's going to be machetes and bodyparts.

Rest assured though, even I will never really hate the Cowboys as much as I hate the Bears right now.

Woah there Cowboy (no pun intended). We won't be massacring anyone ... It will be like a 17-10 or 17-7 game (for me right, considering the pre-season and the skins fiasco), that would be a smashing.

But tell me, why the hatred for da bears?
 
We turned the ball over four times against the Lions. I dread to think about next week. Plus, I hate the Cowboys, so it's bound to go even worse than I fear.

We're just our own worst enemy. There's no vision in the organisation. No plan for pushing it forward. The Cutler deal as a mess and smacked of desperation, as do a lot of our recent deals. We've completely gone against the way the team used to be run because we didn't have confidence to draft our way to a better team. When you feel like that, it isn't time to start doing ridiculous trades. It's time to turn the front office upside down and shake everyone out. I have no confidence in anyone on the non-playing staff. You know the mentalness that characterised this site regarding Rafa? Times that by about a billion and you're where I am regarding the Bears.

Plus, we have a stadium that looks like Martians parked it on the shore of Lake Michigan.
 
Jesus, man. I feel embarrassed like I did that shit myself to you.

If it makes you feel any better, our next six games are -

@ Cowboys
Packers
@Giants
@Panthers
Seahawks
Redskins

We're going to take such a fucking hosing. I look at all of our remaining home games and think, "nah. Not gonna win any of them." Maybe Seattle if they struggle on the road. But probably not. The Bills game in Toronto we might have a chance, but only because it's a flid off. The road games are just trips to the woodshed. We end Patriots, @Vikings, Jets, @Packers.

Fuck me.
 
It's a odd spot, because the rule was followed to the letter, it's just a dumb rule, so all they could really say, is we'll look at changing it next year.

The Cowboys will be all right, easily still the favorite in the NFC east.

Jets looked like a typical Ryan coached team, world class defense, and anemic offense. Rex is just like his father as a head coach. The only time the Ryan's ever win a super bowl is as a defensive coordinator. They looked like they run no offensive plays in practice at all.

KC is fired up right now, up 21-7 almost half time.
 
Thought the Jets would get more going on offence than they did. They have no aerial option whatsoever, and when they did run Greene was spitting the ball up. The Ravens is probably the best defense they'll come up against, but they blueprinted how other teams can limit the Jets. They had fucking nothing on third downs and Sanchez needs to figure out a way of bringing more to the table. Teams with big offensive linemen will probably go nickel against them, protect against the rush and cover the tailback behind, leaving Sanchez nowhere to go.

Kyle Wilson will need a bit of time. I like the id, and thought his coverage was pretty decent last night, but he was still beaten to the bal and gave away silly penalties on crucial plays (even for the Jets it was a ridiculous night for penalties, especially the first half). Brady will be looking to light him up.

Shame about Jenkins. Don't know how bad the injury is, but given his previous problems it doesn't bode well.

Their defense will lead them to wins over most other teams (who don't have Baltimore's defense), but they're going to have to find a way to to go big on offense before the playoffs. When Baltimore won the Superbowl without an offense they had the Dilfer, who was the luckiest can't-throw-a-spiral-signal-caller in history. Sanchez doesn't look like a bottle to rub.
 
Bad week for former USC quarterbacks, even though Cassel won, I think he only completed something like 8 passes.

Sanchez and Palmer, were horrible, and Leinart is lucky to have a job right now.
 
No really close games this weekend in college football other than Arizona - Iowa. Texas defeat Texas Tech on the road. Nice win for a new team. WVU defeat Maryland at home. Boise State make it 17-0.
 
Oh, I don't know. The Spartans-Irish game was tight. Ended on some classic OT trickery. Auburn-Clemson went to OT too. Oklahoma had to hang on against Air Force, and Wisconsin had to block an extra point attempt to beat Arizona State.

Air Force had over 450 yards against Oklahoma. I don't know why FSU were so shit last week against them. Oklahoma look like they could shoot themselves in the foot at any time. That said, Air Force are a great rushing team.
 
Also, Jackson Jeffcoat (Jim Jeffcoat's boy) looks pretty good. He's a true freshman and looks like a stud in the making.

I know very little about college gridiron. Is that an upset for the Terps?
 
Bears up 20-14.

Impressed with how their offense hasn't given up after the mauling they took the 1st 3 drives. I think the Cowboys DBs disrespected the Cowboys WRs a bit here, and they rightly got burned. Still, Romo (unfortunate on the INTs) seems to be moving the ball well.

Unfortunately though, I see a Bears win ... 🙁

Well done to the lions on a 17-7 half time win!
 
Cutler is releasing it on short drops. Nice. When he goes to seven we just fuck it up something hideous.

We're still shite, mind. I don't know what you lot are up to. Worst coached roster of good players in the league.

I don't think it's Wade that's the issue here ... it's a young assistant that Jerry unfortunately overpaid.
