BruteSquad_BRODY Posted October 24, 2008 Report Posted October 24, 2008 Aaron Stecker is a local hero in Green Bay. *Applauds*
CanadianGuitarist Posted October 24, 2008 Report Posted October 24, 2008 Now they're saying Peyton had a second knee operation due to a staph infection. WTF is going on here? Doctors are taking a green approach by not using any water or chemicals that could hurt the environment to clean off surgery tools. Everyone has to do their part to save the environment! But I cleaned them with my napkin!
Kinetic Posted October 24, 2008 Report Posted October 24, 2008 I'm looking at Tennessee's schedule here, and I'm thinking that we have no idea how good this team is yet. The best team they've played so far is Jacksonville and that was at home. Their toughest road game has been @Baltimore, which is a kinda okayish team starting a rookie QB. This week begins a real prove-it stretch for these guys. They host Indy and then Green Bay, then play @Chicago and Jacksonville. I'd be stunned if they win all four of those games. I'd say they come back to Earth a little and go 2-2. I know their defense is awesome and they've got two capable runners, but I'm having a little trouble being sold on a team with no receivers and with Kerry Collins at QB.
cabbageboy Posted October 24, 2008 Report Posted October 24, 2008 Yeah I think the Titans can get past the Colts and Packers at home, but if they just salvage a split in those Chicago and Jacksonville road games they'll be doing good.
MFer Posted October 25, 2008 Report Posted October 25, 2008 Looks like Carson Palmer's done for the year. It wasn't that long ago that he was arguably the 3rd best QB behind Brady and Manning and had the Bengals in the playoffs. Since Kimo von Oelhoffen took him out though, he's seen numerous teammates show up on the police blotter, Chad Johnson go off the deep end, Marvin Lewis become essentially a lame-duck coach, and the Bengals go back to sucking. Plus Palmer's play was steadily going down before this latest injury. This guy can't catch a break. Fun Fact: Matt Cassel has started more games this season than Tom Brady, Carson Palmer, and Matt Leinart combined.
Kinetic Posted October 25, 2008 Report Posted October 25, 2008 The Bengals are just going to have to rebuild that thing from the ground up. I think Palmer (when healthy and without the world of distractions you get with that current group of guys) is certainly a guy you can build around, but the FO hasn't shown any sort of aptitude for that sort of thing. It's probably going to get even worse before it gets any better for the Bengals.
Gert T Posted October 25, 2008 Report Posted October 25, 2008 And now Mikey Brown has his out on why this team that will go 1-15 (Palmer's injury) and will not fire Marvin Lewis. What a PR nightmare for Goodell. Do you think he demands the Saints players are inactive for this game?
The Ghost of bps21 Posted October 26, 2008 Report Posted October 26, 2008 Let me see if I understand this Haslett thing... He's already on their coaching staff...he's serving as interim coach... And the Rams can't make him the full time coach unless they interview a black candidate? ... Seriously...that's the rule? A guy can't CONTINUE to do the job he is already doing after this year unless they throw a token interview at a minority guy for a job that is ALREADY filled? How does that do anything good for: A: The minority candidate who can't get the job. B: The Rams who want to rewards Haslett if he turns this team miraculously into a 6 win team. C: Haslett who's now in the position of having to compete for the job he's already doing...even though his bosses want him to stay. D: The NFL who just looks stupid as usual. What black candidate even shows up for this interview? It's insulting.
Guest C*Z*E*C*H Posted October 26, 2008 Report Posted October 26, 2008 I have to check the coverage maps to see which games I'll get today. The Bears are off this week, the Packers are off this week, the Vikings are off this week, and the Lions are off every week. Even worse, the Lions are blacked out in most of Michigan. A northless weekend. Upon looking, I have Chiefs and Favre on CBS, Bucs and Cowboys/Giants and Steelers. There's nothing there that interests me, except for Dick Stockton getting everybody's name wrong in the late game.
Kinetic Posted October 26, 2008 Report Posted October 26, 2008 No Steven Jackson today for the Rams, so there's one game to move from "Mildly Interesting" to "Totally Uncompetitive." Joey Galloway is active for Tampa for the first time in about a month. Inactive is horrible rookie kick returner Dexter "Slip'n Slide" Jackson, thank god.

What black candidate even shows up for this interview? It's insulting. The best part is the 49ers can just promote Mike Singletary to be the Head Coach and because he's black they don't have to interview anyone else. They should have to interview a Japanese guy or something.

Slayer Posted October 26, 2008 Report Posted October 26, 2008 Which actually makes me think, other than Chow and Dat Nguyen, have there been any other Asians in the NFL this decade, in any capacity?
MarvinisaLunatic Posted October 26, 2008 Report Posted October 26, 2008 This is going to be one hell of an ugly game (Raiders/Ravens).
MarvinisaLunatic Posted October 26, 2008 Report Posted October 26, 2008 WHAT THE HELL? Couldnt they do the London Pregame 15 minutes earlier or something?
A Happy Medium Posted October 26, 2008 Report Posted October 26, 2008 The new Cowboys punter just blew up the returner to start the game. Bronze him!
Aero Posted October 26, 2008 Report Posted October 26, 2008 Anyone else's FOX just suck right now? Blurriness and skipping every other 10 seconds?
MarvinisaLunatic Posted October 26, 2008 Report Posted October 26, 2008 Donnie Avery just burned NE for a 70 yard TD for the Rams..lol
bob_barron Posted October 26, 2008 Report Posted October 26, 2008 The Saints just missed an extra point. Taylor Mehlhaff is making me long for Gramatica, yea, I said it. How do you miss an extra point?
bob_barron Posted October 26, 2008 Report Posted October 26, 2008 Brett Favre's just having fun out there
CanadianChris Posted October 26, 2008 Author Report Posted October 26, 2008 Dan Dierdorf is incredulous at how much the Jets are passing the ball. Is he the last person on earth to see Brett Favre play?
Kahran Ramsus Posted October 26, 2008 Report Posted October 26, 2008 PAT, KEVIN WILLIAMS HAD POSITIVE DIURETICS RESULTS, TOO Posted by Mike Florio on October 26, 2008, 12:22 p.m. EDT Jay Glazer of FOX reports that the list of players who tested positive for a banned diuretic include both of the Vikings’ starting defensive tackles, Pat and Kevin Williams. If the suspensions ultimately are upheld, the Vikings would be without the services of both players for four games. And that would decimate the Vikings’ run defense. Glazer also reports that Falcons defensive tackle Grady Jackson is one of the names on the list. The release of these names further highlights concerns that league sources are leaking confidential information regarding appeals that have not been finalized. Attorney David Cornwell, who reportedly will be representing some of the affected players, has recently made an aggressive call for measures aimed at ensuring that reporters don’t disclose this confidential information without also disclosing the source. http://www.profootballtalk.com/2008/10/26/...cs-results-too/ This would basically end any hopes for the Vikings.
MarvinisaLunatic Posted October 26, 2008 Report Posted October 26, 2008 ugh.. the Ravens have the "Wild Bird" offense with Troy smith coming in and flacco lining up as a WR.
Maztinho Posted October 26, 2008 Report Posted October 26, 2008 I'm loving the London crowd. They are reacting to everything. Brees completes a pass YAY, LT makes a big run YAY, yellow flag for either team BOO.
Obi Chris Kenobi Posted October 26, 2008 Report Posted October 26, 2008 You guys watching London game?
Kahran Ramsus Posted October 26, 2008 Report Posted October 26, 2008 You guys watching London game? Yep. 100% improvement over the game last year.
Prophet of Mike Zagurski Posted October 26, 2008 Report Posted October 26, 2008 I like both San Diego and the Saints and I don't know who to cheer for. This game in London is going better than the last one.
Obi Chris Kenobi Posted October 26, 2008 Report Posted October 26, 2008 Last one sucked badly though, this one is pretty fun so far.
Prophet of Mike Zagurski Posted October 26, 2008 Report Posted October 26, 2008 Why is there no Sunday Night game? Is it because half the league has this week off?
