NFL Week 5

[tfarks]

Gruden's fellating of player x every week is getting old.

I love how these idiots are still slobbering over him.

 

"He just forgets the last play and tries to make another play"

 

I've never seen a team pass before when they were down two scores with a minute left. This must be a new concept that Brett Favre invented.

 

As one of the announcers said, "that's just the way he plays the game".

He never gives up...even when 20-somethings girls say no to him, he doesn't get discouraged. He just snaps the pic and sends.

Favre is just a warrior. :hello:

[ELCABALLO45]

Favre avoiding every question about the "Texting thing"

[SpongeWorthy]

Was that MVP candidate Mark Sanchez leading the Jets to yet another victory???

[TruffleShuffle]

no i believe it was the guy with the 5th-worst completion percentage in the league leading the jets to victory.

[Derwood]

This Minnesota failure is so great. Not only do they suck this year, but putting Favre out there for another season just stunts the future of the franchise even more. I hope Tavaris Jackson and Joe Webb both bail on the team after this year and they're left with nobody at QB

Their record sucks and their schedule sucks. The offense has sucked for a good portion. The turnovers have sucked. The defense has played well all year and I think the offense will kick it up.

 

They lost @ the Saints by a score, home vs. the Dolphins by a score and were down 2 @ the Jets on the final possession. 1-3 is still 1-3 but everyone knew this kind of start was possible with the schedule through the first 7 games. Find a way to get to 3-4 and they'll be fine when they get Rice back and the schedule reverses in the last half.

 

Your last two sentence just makes absolutely no sense. How is Joe Webb going to bail on the team when he'll be a 2nd year player under contract? Tarvaris can be as pissed as he wants but where else could he have the opportunity to be a starter with Adrian, Shiancoe, Harvin and Moss or Rice and a top 10 defense? I doubt either will be the starter next year though.

[hawkeyecub]

Anyways that sucked. They deserved to lose after the offense and play-calling completely sucked for the first 30 minutes. The kick return that guaranteed the Jets 3 points after the long TD to Moss was big. The missed pass to Harvin on the final drive was enormous. Every time he missed an open man it was because he didn't think he had room to step up into the throw and threw it flat, off his back foot or sliding to avoid the rush. That last pick was a really nice play by Lowery.

 

Defense kept holding them to 3 but the lack of a pass rush killed them. Better hope Cedric Griffin isn't hurt long-term again, he's played really well in the 1.5 games he's been back and is probably our best CB now. Playing without 2 of their 3 CB's in the second half again was killer. The defense needed to come up with 1 turnover at some point.

 

I wasn't quite sure if going for 2 was the best call at that point but it really was a toss-up in my opinion. That obviously was another huge play, but I think it was the right call. At least it was fun to see the comeback and have a chance.

[Flames24Rulz]

Isn't Rice still not likely to be back once he's eligible to come off the PUP list?

 

Oh and besides the Vikings-Bears game, that's the last MNF game I'm watching this season. It is seriously unwatchable TV listening to those three idiots call a football game.

From what I've read it's more likely he's back around week 9 which would still mean he's there for the last half of the season. The season could easily be over if they lose the next 3. I'm just holding out hope that they can win 2 of the next 3 and be right in it. This week will be tough because the Cowboys are just as desperate. Hopefully Rodgers has to sit for 2 weeks for some reason.

 

The good news is they haven't lost a divisional game yet. That game last night would have been so huge.

That may have been the worst sporting event I've ever attended. Got there in time for some tailgating, then had to wait through several storms and by the time I got into the stadium it was shoulder to shoulder since nobody was allowed in the seating area due to lightning. That's the 2nd time I've been to the stadium and it still sucks. The beer guy nearest where our seats were is incredibly slow. The bathroom situation is terrible and the concourses suck for a new stadium. I also had to sit in front of the most obnoxious Vikings fan I've met. He shows up one quarter late and proceeds to ridicule everything Jet related, ignoring how pathetic his team has been.

 

At least Favre came through in the end like he always does. And I didn't see his dick.

I'm confused by the whole Favre/junk-texting. Didn't this first come out like a year ago or is this a new one?

The story came out (less than a year ago), but mainstream media ignored it. Now with the voicemails and pics out there, they really can't do that anymore.

Deadspin broke the story in August, I believe.

Odd, seems like it's been a lot longer ago than that.

According to Darren Rovell, Nike will be the new on-field apparel company starting in April 2012 while New Era got the hat deal.

Wasn't it in the spring?

 

Either way the timing was odd that this happened two years ago and didn't deadspin say they had seen the evidence this spring? Then it came out the week of the Jets game. I would think the "third party" had some affiliation with them.

A timeline:

 

Aug. 4: Deadspin published its initial item.

Aug. 4: City Pages blogs the Deadspin report roughly three hours later.

Aug. 6: Strib gossip columnist C.J. blurbs the item.

Aug. 13: After a journalism ethicist decries Deadspin for violating a source’s confidence, City Pages editor Kevin Hoffman also criticizes the site.

Oct. 7: Deadspin publishes voicemails and a penis shot. The website says the items were procured from a “third party” it wouldn’t name. The voicemails sound like Favre, but Deadspin acknowledges it can’t confirm it’s him.

i don't think they actually had the voicemails and pictures of [expletive] at that point. the girl must have handed them over.
