[IamFogHat]

[Snoogans]

I wanted the game last night. FUCKIN BUM KNICKS. HOW DO YOU GET TO OT AND LOSE BY FUCKIN 14

[Kevin]

agreed!



I am generous like that. You can't be greedy.

[K.C.]

FUCKIN BUM KNICKS. HOW DO YOU GET TO OT AND LOSE BY FUCKIN 14

You answered your own question.

[Snoogans]

holy shit ted ginn

[GregoryJoseph]

How about my Eagles?

[Ritalin]

Braylon Edwards was a great pickup. He's very good.

[TheMojoPin]

How about my Eagles?

Your team is actually good again. Go home.

[Kevin]

Your team is actually good again. Go home.



He cares about what the players do off the field.

Nonsense.

To be completely honest, ever since I gave up following the Bengals following the 2006 season I've found football to be quite boring.

[RhinoinMN]

Cribbs is THE only player on Cleveland. They should have traded him.

You should follow the Vikings. Never a dull moment.

[GregoryJoseph]

You should follow the Vikings. Never a dull moment.

I remember being fascinated with the Vikings when I was a very young boy. You'd see highlights of these games in frigid temperatures with the snow falling like mad and Bud Grant stalking the sidelines.

They really lost a lot of their mystique when they moved into a dome.

And I think I'll always love baseball and hockey more than football; always have. When you don't have a rooting interest your passion for the sport wanes even more.

[Kevin]

Dominating day for NY Football.

[hanso]

Just keep it on loop

Yeah. The Met was an intimidating place to play in.

We all needed The Mall of America. That wasn't the reason they moved, but that is where it ended up.

So nostalgic walking through Nickelodeon Indoor Amusement Park and seeing a bronzed home plate at the exact location where it used to be.:wallbash:

Wouldn't surprise me with that crowd...

Although the Linc is not the same clientelle as the old Vet days.

[NickyL0885]

Jets making it exciting.

[GregoryJoseph]

Rex Ryan and Matt Sanchez both have A LOT to learn.

[RhinoinMN]

A lot of purple in the stands at lambeau.

The Fox Favre Cam?


ugh.

[epo]

I love it!

[RhinoinMN]

Rogers should know better than that.

[RhinoinMN]

Johnny ain't so Jolly now!

I though of that all by myself.

[epo]

That only took the Queens 7 downs from inside the 10.

Faggots.

[Kevin]

Listen to those boos!



They arent booing, they are saying Booooorett Boooooret

That language barrier is a real bitch.

Jesus, the Packer's O-line sucks ass.

[Ritalin]

Rooting for the Packers feels wrong.

[epo]

Hey Dom Capers: stop giving that fucking hillbilly all fucking day to pick you apart!

I love how Aikman is trying to blame Rodgers for getting sacked.

What a damned tool.

That one wasn't his fault, but there were 2 of them where he was out of the pocket and held on for too long.

Terrible play.

[disneyspy]

with favre in this game, ol' mo really has changed teams

[KnoxHarrington]

Now that was a nice toss by Rodgers!

[epo]

That's two plays in a row they could've had a pick! Dammit

[KnoxHarrington]

Favre trying his damnedest to throw one of his trademark brain dead interceptions.

[KnoxHarrington]

Packers back in this game!

And, of course, after a great play by the Packers, Fox shows an absolutely unnecessary shot of Favre.

[KnoxHarrington]

We Got Us A Game

[epo]

Game on bitches!

[KnoxHarrington]

Nice job with taht coverage Packers.

[epo]

We've got a barn burner!

[KnoxHarrington]

Nice job catching that while being totally mugged

[Crispy123]

Im so pissed they wouldnt televise this game. instead I had my choice of Nascar, the NY marathon or the retarded Eli Manning.

Outside of a 3rd quarter meltdown, the Vikings played pretty well today.

[HBox]

At least the Green bay fans made Favre cry.

[King Hippos Bandaid]

Minnesota is better, nuff said, Favre winning in GB was fun..

fucking Slaton being benched fucking killed me today


Vernon Davis is a top 5-10 TE now... the man is not a Chicken Shit anymore, thanks to Singletary making him cry.... Still the losses keep piling up for the 49ers

Favres assholedness has made me a fan.

[Ritalin]

Favre is like the opera.

There is a build up, higher, higher and higher. The ride keeps getting better. You can't believe it.

He'll be injured and out for the year in the next 3 weeks, and a stunned Tarvaris Jackson is going to drive that team right in the ditch.

He'll be injured and out for the year in the next 3 weeks, and a stunned Tarvaris Jackson is going to drive that team right in the ditch.

Early in the season, it was clear that he was being very careful. He was throwing a lot of short passes, very high percentage stuff.

In the past couple of games, though, I see him returning to his "Fuck it, I'm goin' deep" ways. It bit him in the ass against Pittsburgh, and almost did against Green Bay.

Fuck it I'm going deep hurt him against the Steelers? You mean the 2 yard screen pass that was intercepted or the fumble from holding the ball way too long? :lol:

Common now, there's 10000 legitimate things you can trash on Favre for, but you somehow managed to not find one. Try harder!

[RhinoinMN]

I just looked at a video of that fumble. He didn't even hold on that long.

[Kevin]

I see Bart Scott was his typical Jet douchebag self today...

What in the blue helk does he have to be confident about? Show me his rings or his awards.

His team got beat twice by the dolphins and he was smug and condicending.

Your team is 4-4, not 8-0 7-1.

The Dolphins got lucky. The Jets clearly were the better team. If it wasn't for back to back fluke TD off kick offs and a fumble returned for a TD, then we aren't having this discussion.

THANK GOD

[underdog]

GM on the job for 6 months who didn't actually draft anyone on the team is escorted from building (http://blogs.nfl.com/2009/11/02/reports-browns-gm-kokinis-escorted-from-building/)

So you trade away the top two targets for your QB and have 94 year old Jamal Lewis as your #1 rb, and you're surprised your offense sucks.

Maybe they fired the GM for trading away those two targets.

[Kevin]

maybe they forgot the song


THANK GOD

God damn, this Saints team is scary good.

[underdog]

God damn, this Saints team is scary good.

That TD run was nuts.

[Kevin]

They may go unbeaten this year.

[KnoxHarrington]

They may go unbeaten this year.

Nah, I think they're going to have some crazy-ass game where either the offense fails to fire and they lose something like 24-21 (21 points would be a bad game for them), or the defense goes flat and they lose something like 48-45.

I do think they'll end up with a 14-2 or even 15-1 record, though.

[Jughead]

I Live around Colt Fans ...It really sucks..That is all Jug

[KnoxHarrington]

Flipped over to the World Series to watch AJ Burnitz getting his ass run out of the park.

5-1 Phillies. This ones' going back to New York.

[KnoxHarrington]

Fuck, I think that hit Brees just took knocked the wind out of me.

[underdog]

I really don't think there's anything better in sports than a divisional NFL game, as long as it's not the NFC West. They're almost always great games. Especially NFC South games.

[KnoxHarrington]

It just feels like if you don't get to Brees and rush him, he's going to complete the pass.

It just feels automatic.

Why do I have a feeling that if Brady took the kinda somewhat late hit White just took we'd have seen a flag ?

Shouldn't you be busy writing a thesis on how Wes Welker is terrible?

[JimBeam]

I didn't even realize he was still in the league.

Has he caught 10 passes for 22 yards yet today ?

Canton's calling.

[Suspect Chin]

Wow the Bears are playing so horribly, FOX just abandoned their game and went to GB vs. TB.

[underdog]

I didn't even realize he was still in the league.

Has he caught 10 passes for 22 yards yet today ?

Canton's calling.

You're right, he's terrible. That's why there's so many other people just like him in the league.

[JimBeam]

That's why there's so many other people just like him in the league.

You're right.

As I pointed out there are hardly any #2 WRs in the NFL that have such a low Yards Per Catch average.

He's also probably the only WR in the league that get's covered by LBs.

YAC are all you can get when you can't beat corners deep.

[Suspect Chin]

[RhinoinMN]

Losing to the Bucs? Seriously?

You see, Aaron, if you want people to stop asking you about Favre, you're going to have to do better than that.

Vikes Magic Number is now 5. I can get used to this.

For a 21 year old rookie, Freeman was pretty damn impressive.

[epo]

You see, Aaron, if you want people to stop asking you about Favre, you're going to have to do better than that.

The defense and special teams kept Tampa in the game for an unnecessary amount of time. Couple that with that dogshit offensive line and you will lose games a professional team on Sundays.

Yes, but I hold on loosely.

I hate .38 Special. Just for that, I pray that the Vikings sign Childress to a 10-year extension.

[foodcourtdruide]

Also, how is Carolina up 14-3 on the Saints? WTF?

It is incredibly hard to go undefeated in the NFL. Bad teams pick off great teams all the time. Its baffling how the Patriots did it.

[underdog]

Also, how is Carolina up 14-3 on the Saints? WTF?

Carolina looked like they turned a corner last week or the week before. I actually picked Carolina in a pick 'em group I'm in. I think I was the only one.

[IMSlacker]

I can't believe the end of the Colts / Texans game.

That was heartbreaking.

[KnoxHarrington]

Wow, after looking like total dogshit for most of the first half, the Saints look like they could remain undefeated.

This just feels like this year's Team of Destiny.

Do you know what this means?

This week will be one of the most entertaining in a long time on sports talk radio.

"Coughlin should be fired."

"Eli was never that good. They won the Super Bowl because of their D."

Blah blah blah blah blah blah

You're an idiot. the Giants D was passrushing Rivers well all game. The D gave it up AFTER the giants' last drive.

[dishwasherdude]

thank god the boys are giving the eagles a game this time

[Kevin]

You're an idiot. the Giants D was passrushing Rivers well all game. The D gave it up AFTER the giants' last drive.

No, You are.

The D is fucking shakey.

You do not give a fucking offense like theirs any shot with 2+ minutes left when you have a shot to salt the fucking game right there.

There isnt one Giant fan that didnt think the Chargers were scoring there.

And they had alot of dropped balls, or they would have had some big plays.

I do not know what game you were fucking watching.

Pretty great, actually. Too bad the rest of the team is horrible.

Canton's calling.

9 for 89 and 9.3.

yeah, Cutler's not the problem.

The coach is.

I wonder how Cedric Benso... err. Nevermind.

[King Hippos Bandaid]

its bizzaro world... The Orange Yucks Jersey gets the Bucs a win
While the New Red Jersey where they have had success is 0-6


2-0 with Vince Young... maybe Fisher isnt as smart as most people think

[Kevin]

I wonder how Cedric Benso... err. Nevermind.

That would hurt more if they did not have a great back like Forte.

And nothing warms my heart more than watching the Bengals be good again as soon as Gvac jumped ship.

[Ritalin]

I wonder how Cedric Benso... err. Nevermind.

Benson doesn't bother me. He's a classic "needed to almost bottom out in order to take himself seriously". That one wasn't the Bears fault. He was a punk who needed to grow up. It happens.

[razorboy]

Benson doesn't bother me. He's a classic "needed to almost bottom out in order to take himself seriously". That one wasn't the Bears fault. He was a punk who needed to grow up. It happens.

He grew up rather quickly, once he had a real QB.

[disneyspy]

does anybuddayelse think its funny that the lions coaches name sounds like JIM SHORTS?

[TheMojoPin]

Benson doesn't bother me. He's a classic "needed to almost bottom out in order to take himself seriously". That one wasn't the Bears fault. He was a punk who needed to grow up. It happens.

Pretty much. It cannot be understated how absolutely wretched he was with the Bears. His attitude and work ethic were completely different. Most of his teammates couldn't stand him because he didn't give a shit and gave up most of the time. I'm happy for the guy that he turned it around, but like you said it took getting the boot for him to decide to step it up, and even if he had some magically turned it around while with the Bears he'd be rendered all but useless by the horrendous OL they have.

I wonder if anyone will touch him, especially with all his domestic abuse baggage he has. No one has even looked twice in the direction of Marvin Harrison.

From what they were saying about this on Sportscenter, it sounds like the fact that he was closing in on the Chiefs' franchise record, which he'd take from the far more popular and beloved Priest Holmes, was a big factor in this.

[underdog]

So everyone on ESPN thinks he's going to the Patriots. Why? The Patriots already have 5 or 6 RBs. Why would they bring in Johnson? I wish they'd just stay with Maroney. When he gets the majority of the playing time, he looks like a great RB.

i dont think thats ever gonna happen. they just like it cause they wanna talk about who the next Corey Dillon or Randy Moss will be for them. but its certainly not going to be LJ.

Maroney is great when healthy.

[RhinoinMN]

I watched Maroney and Barber play for the Gophers and they are both great yet neither one has solidified the #1 spot on their professional teams. I don't get it. The coaches must see something that I don't.

[TheGameHHH]

Maroney is great when healthy.

i dont think great is the word to describe him, even when healthy. he's most certainly servicable but not great. he doesnt hit holes hard and he prefers to move and shake east/west rather than running north/south. accompany that with the fact that he's pretty much made of glass and there isnt really too much to love about him as a professional.

Yeah, he's always jumping side to side instead of just taking off. It drives me nuts.

He can also be terrible at blocking, which is why he comes out of the game so often.

Well, Fred Taylor and Sammy Morris are out, Faulk is more of a third down back and Maroney is always hurting.

Maroney is great when healthy.
He's average. He can't find a hole if his life depended on it.

[GregoryJoseph]

barber was the #1 back for the cowboys last year til he got hurt. with a 3 running back tandem they'll keep barber alive an extra 2 years,the cowboys are actually protecting him cuz hes such a bruising runner

Not really. Benson would have just stayed awful if he was here and even if he turned it around with the kick in the ass of getting cut he'd be trapped behind the same wretched OL that is crippling the Bears' running game. Orton is just being Orton: he's the perfect QB on a team where he doesn't have to be a gamechanger. Get him on a solid, balanced team and he won't lose games for you and he'll keep you in it. Neither would be having the success they are now of they were still on the Bears (the Bears' record would likely be even worse with Orton instead of Cutler) so wishing they were still here is pointless.

[KnoxHarrington]

Saw this story on Deadspin, about an exterminator being called out to Lil' Danny Snyder's house...it certainly does explain a lot:

The exterminator was called to Snyder's house to spray for pests. When the exterminator arrived, the housekeeper instructed him where to go spray. But the exterminator found no signs of pests in the space. He came down to tell the housekeeper there was no need to spray, and he didn't want to take Snyder's money for a service the Redskins owner didn't need performed (clearly, this man was honest to a fault).

The housekeeper insisted the exterminator spray the area anyway, telling the man that Snyder hated to be told he was wrong, and that it would be better for everyone if he simply sprayed the area, took his money, and went about his business. But, he explained, there's nothing there. There's no need to spray. She insisted. Apparently, you REALLY do not want to tell Dan Snyder there are no pests in his house if he believes otherwise. So the man sprayed the area for no reason, took Snyder's money, and left.

Lets sign a Saftey...

But we don't need him...

SIGN HIM!

[KnoxHarrington]

So as I understand it, Johnson's passed waivers and can now be signed as an unrestricted free agent, so we'll see what happens now. I gotta think someone will sign him.

they have parker and mendenhall so unless either of them are injured why would the sign him

Cutler is awesome.

[TheGameHHH]

Cutler is awesome.

no really, Cutler is good. Ask Mojo. Its the horrible O line thats throwing the big picks.

[TheMojoPin]

He's very good. He's definitely got an issue with the red zone picks this year (the first and final picks were all on him tonight) but the other picks were the result of having an inexperienced group of receivers without that go-to #1 WR. Those other picks were the result of receivers falling down or not taking their routes as called; not a damn thing a QB can do about that.

Such is the life of a bad football team. I'm not the kind of idiot who flips out over a good QB trying to force plays with a bad team.

i think on his 3rd pick he was about to get sacked and instead of taking the sack he decided to just throw the ball the the 49ers. im not sure how that qualifies as a Bear not running his route.

[TheMojoPin]

That's not how the 3rd pick went down at all. It was a bad snap and a receiver not cutting like he was supposed to (arguably due to pass interference). Again, I'm not letting the guy off the hook, but the majority of the picks are the end result of having a bad team (or, more accurately, an average team with bad players in critical positions).

His biggest problem in the red zone is not settling for 3 points. You can't force a TD if guys just aren't open. He's got to get over that and realize when the play simply is not there and take the FG.

[TheGameHHH]

which one was it? i could have sworn it was his third. i was half watching the devils game on another t.v. im gonna look on espn for highlights and see if they profile all 5

[TheGameHHH]

maybe it was Alex Smiths pick after Cutlers 3rd, i still cant find highlights anywhere yet

yea, but at least with the last one you cant settle for 3 points when down by 4 with no time left. so whats he now on the season 14 TDs and 17 INTs? i cant see how thats really defensible. everybody hates on him because he acted like a diva bitch, thinking he was bigger than the team, to force his way out of Denver and now he just looks like a jerkoff rotting away on a shitty team in Chicago. I just dont really have sympathy for people like that. I also wish Brandon Marshall somehow got forced out of Denver and was rotting away in St. Louis right now. If you act like an asshole then you deserve to get whats coming to you. Cutler has done NOTHING in his career to actually prove he's worthy of diva status, yet he continues to act like one. Same goes for Phillip Rivers. Yet the guys that actually produce, i.e. Manning & Brady, quietly go about their business, keep their mouths shut and continue to guide winning teams. funny how that shit goes.

And he's not the white Jason Campbell either despite all evidence to the contrary

[weekapaugjz]

taken from an article i was just reading about the game:

• This was Cutler's fourth game with three or more interceptions over the last two seasons, tied with Jake Delhomme for the most in the NFL.

very good quarterbacks do this all the time.

[TheMojoPin]

yea, but at least with the last one you cant settle for 3 points when down by 4 with no time left.

Obviously, but that first one was clearly him not willing to settle for 3 when they could have. Just take the points and don't try and force what isn't there.

so whats he now on the season 14 TDs and 17 INTs? i cant see how thats really defensible.

Pretty easily. 7 of those picks are all on him. 5 of those 7 are in the red zone and are from him trying to force a TD. There's really no defense of them at all and it highlights where the actual problem is with him throwing picks. The other 10 are the result of guys missing their routes or tripping/slipping/etc.. That's just football. Bad stats are going to augmented on a bad team.

[TheGameHHH]

Its the best part of any football broadcast. However I've never heard them flip out on each other.

[TheMojoPin]

very good quarterbacks do this all the time.

Good QB's are going to throw more picks when they're repeatedly in situations where they have to come from behind again and again to try and win at the end of the game
(as was the case in Denver) and when they're on bad teams. As I've said repeatedly, Cutler has his obvious flaws, especially in the red zone, but he's also repeatedly shown his strengths. Look at the numbers that the very good receivers are putting up in Denver without him as opposed to the numbers the very raw and not very good receivers in Chicago are putting up with him: that's a pretty good argument for his strengths as a QB. No, Cutler is not the elite kind of guy you can just plug into a team and he's going to turn it all around, but he's the strong enough QB that he can be your franchise guy so long as you construct a team that maximizes his abilities. The Bears are obviously not that team right now, and obviously not that team for any QB except for the very best out there, and I don't know how much luck they'd even have with this OL.

[TheMojoPin]

Bah, why bother with analysis?

[TheMojoPin]

Shit, I can't remember the last time they didn't get pissed at each other after a loss.

[weekapaugjz]

fran tarkenton thinks cutler sucks. (http://sports.espn.go.com/chicago/nfl/news/story?id=4652043)

[TheMojoPin]

Oh, well that's pretty much conclusive.

Cutler is a guy who is going to throw more picks than is ideal...that's just who he is. The more he has to pass the more likely he is to force a pick and with this Bears team it's pretty much all on him since the running game is practically non-existent. Until they can fix the OL and open up some slots for the RB's, games like this will have to happen from time to time. Once you have a running game you'll see the picks drop dramatically. It's similar to having a guy like Favre, who has a good, strong arm and is rightly confident in his ability but is going to throw picks when he gets overconfident in what he can do and end up passing more than they should (like more than, say, 35 times a game).

[Ritalin]

I don't understand this Cutler pile on. He's really not the problem
with the Bears.

[foodcourtdruide]

I'm excited for the game tonight. I think its going to come down to the Colts pass defense. If they could keep pressure on Brady and neutralize Welker it could be a long night for the Pats. My guess is at least one team will score over 30 points. If Colts win it'll be because of Manning/pass d, if Pats win it'll be Brady/Moss.

[EliSnow]

The Vikes should be kicking the Lions' ass by now.

Too many errors.

I took the Lions in this game with the 17 pts. The Vikings tend to play up or down to their competition.

The Rams could possibly have the worst 2 minute offense I've ever seen.

This might be the best time ever to be a Bengals fan. With the victory over the Steelers today, they're 5-0 in the division, and only need to beat the awful Browns at home to go 6-0. They've pretty much locked up their spot in the playoffs, and now it looks like we can go beyond just talking about them being in the playoffs, and seriously consider them Super Bowl contenders.

I mean, today's game was the kind of game that the Bengals are not supposed to win. No offensive touchdowns? Only about 200 yards total offense? But that defense kicked in and knocked the Steelers around, and they win a tough game.

And just think of all the people who gave up on this team, who embraced other teams that have begun to suck. What kind of person would do that?
