The NFL Week 10 OAO Thread

[Guest The Shadow Behind You]

Might as well get it started.

[KingPK]

Joey Porter decided to be a moron and get into a fight with William Green before the game, getting them both ejected. Way to help out your teams, guys. I'd rather have that game instead of Jets/Ravens, at least.

[LaParkaMarka]

Martz ran 13 straight passing plays to start the game. Rams are already up 14-0.

 

Gotta say, it was pretty funny seeing the Rams run play-action, even though they hadn't run the ball the entire game.

[Art Sandusky]

I've got Falcons/Buccaneers and Jets/Ravens.

 

Packers/Vikings isn't until 4:15, but instead of getting to see what should be a great game between bitter divisional rivals, I get a CLASH OF THE TITANS~ when the unstoppable Carolina Panthers face the Immovable San Francisco 49ers. I hate living here during football season sometimes.

[LaParkaMarka]

Ugh, Hasselbeck throws an INT in the endzone.

[Art Sandusky]

I always said Hasselback would be cursed forever after his "we're gonna score, we're gonna win!" line.

[razazteca]

Two running plays to kill the clock then Martz goes back to the long pass.

[LaParkaMarka]

He started the season strong...but in the games the Seahawks lost, he's made some pretty bad mistakes. Like this terrible audible lob->interception that made Holmgren lose it on the sideline.

 

The Rams offense is looking very good. Steve Jackson will be a star.

[Guest Vitamin X]

Holmgren's a great coach... but any Packer fan will tell you that his clock management absolutely sucks and he's susceptible to making some really bad calls. He tends to play favorites, which is alright if you have Brett Favre.. Not Matt Hasselbeck.

Hey Kotz, why not go check it out at a sports bar near you? Here's a list of where to at the Pack's website: http://www.packers.com/multimedia/tv_and_radio/state/

 

I usually go to this awesome little Irish pub and I've met quite a few other cheeseheads in a pretty Dolphin-rabid town.

[Art Sandusky]

See, I would do that if I wasn't already going to the same sports bar for the wrestling PPV tonight.

[Slayer]

I'm not even watching the two noon games right now, I'm just waiting for Vikings-Packers at 3.

 

Can't say much except the Vikes need to win, of course, both for the big picture (division) and the small picture (to shut up the dynamic trio of Pack fans here... if only for five minutes)

[Guest The Shadow Behind You]

I'm being forced to watch the dazzling St. Louis/Seattle game. If I want to see ineptitude, I'd just look in the mirror.

 

I don't like Bengals playing at 4:15 on the EAST Coast.

[Guest Salacious Crumb]

Chicago/Tennessee has to be one of the worst football games I've seen in a long while. Ok Dallas/Washington MNF was way worse but this is still a boring game.

[LaParkaMarka]

Chicago vs anyone is bad. Chicago/San Fran was pretty brutal.

[Guest Salacious Crumb]

The Columbus, Ohio Fox station is terrible. They always make the most god awful picks for games.

 

I remember back when Carolina and San Fransico were fighting it out for the division in the mid 90s we got Dallas/Arizona. We always seem to end up with all the Dallas games for some reason. No matter what I'm always stuck seeing Dallas 12 times a year.

[Brett Favre]

Whatta you do when you're up 14-0, on the 17 yard line? Have your backup RB throw an interception!

[Guest Salacious Crumb]

Hey man, just be glad Quincey Carter's only thrown 1 so far.

 

EDIT: And it's the Ravens. 14 is probably enough to win.

[Brett Favre]

7 should have been enough.

[LaParkaMarka]

For fuck's sake. They have Shaun Alexander, one of the best RBs in the league. But they constantly throw; either Hasselbeck can't deliver, or the receivers just can't run their routes.

 

4th and 1, and they give it to Mack Strong?!?! Shaun Alexander wasn't even on the field! Ugh.

[Cartman]

Whatta you do when you're up 14-0, on the 17 yard line? Have your backup RB throw an interception!

Worst coach in NFL...now that Wanny quit Miami.

[Brett Favre]

I wouldn't say that, but he did have a brain freeze.

[Guest Salacious Crumb]

Martz and Mike Sherman are still much worse than Herman Edwards could ever hope to be.

[Cartman]

Ok, that's true...but I really think the Jets would better themselves by firing Edwards and hiring Weis or Crennel next year...both want to leave for Head Coaching jobs and both are very qualified.

[Brett Favre]

Herman Edwards isn't bad at all.

[Guest Salacious Crumb]

The team has consistently underachieved under his coaching though.

[Brett Favre]

They lost to the Raiders 2 years ago in a divisional playoff game, and he has a pass for last year. He's doing alright.

[Guest Salacious Crumb]

They were a 12-4 team that played themselves into a 9-7 record that year. They've consistently played below their talent level under him.

 

The Buccs did well under Dungy but they didn't get over the hump until they brought someone else in.

[The Czech Republic]

R.W. McQuarters! Nice. Bears lead 14-7. I miss white pants.

Sherman is a good coach. Not exactly a fiery guy, but extremely detailed although coaches kind of conservatively. He's a horrible GM though.

 

Martz is a pompous arrogant prick, but he's no worse than Brian Billick except that Martz is just VERY VERY stubborn about adjusting to how another team plays.

[Guest Vitamin X]

The Buccs did well under Dungy but they didn't get over the hump until they brought someone else in.

And exactly how well are the Bucs playing now?

 

It's really a whole different team, but Gruden got over the "hump" with much the same players and schemes.

 

Some people in Green Bay want Sherman's ass fired, I strongly disagree with that (of course now all that talk has hushed since they've gone on their 3 game winning streak.. and if they happen to make anywhere deep into the playoffs this year, you can consider him a strong candidate for coach of the year as well). However if they wanted to bring in another guy to coach, I'd bring in Monte "ARRR" Kiffin from the Bucs. I miss great defense in green and gold.
