NFL Week 15

do i really have to spell out common sense for you? if teams don't pass on you, you then play the run

 

why do you suspect they don't pass very often?

 

But Detroit isn't good against the run either. And they don't pass because they don't need to to beat them. Pretty much every coach would prefer to run if that is all it took to beat a team. Additionally, Detroit is a pass happy team with a lot of incompletions, so the clock isn't running very fast in their games.

we're poor-ish against the run because our LBs are lousy, i already told you that

 

our DL is great, our LB pretty bad and our secondary decent. all that's pretty intuitively obvious to anybody watching us

 

the defense in general seems worse than it is mostly because we've played against a really tough schedule (opponents with a 95-74 combined record) and have committed too many penalties, though a part of that is probably subconscious bias

Dude, it's 13 games into the season. There aren't any flukes at this point. The Detroit defense doesn't seem worse than it is. It is a bad defense.

[TruffleShuffle]

of course their opponents have a good combined record, they got to play the lions.

You are bad against the run and pass. You are a bad NFL football team. There's no intuition needed, it's plain as freaking day.

Grossman starting.

I have Cowboys in survivor, did my chances just go up?

I'm really wishing that game was shown in my area now.

The Sex Cannon is unleashed!

This is bad. I do not want McNabb next year. Although now that Childress is gone the fit might not be so logical.

that contract extension they gave him looks so weird now that it's just clearly a "here's a couple million to shut up but you're gone after the season" deal. What was the point of the hush money?

They want to cripple the team in the division they trade him to.

Sexy Rexy starting over McNabb vs the Cowboys!

I don't buy it.

[Soul]

It's interesting in the sense that this is the kind of thing that happens when a team melts down.

[Careless]

McNabb's agent, Fletcher Smith, told ESPN that the Redskins' decision is "disrespectful to Donovan. He has not been more disrespected his whole career than he has this season. It's absolutely ridiculous."

Funny that would happen in his worst season since he was a rookie

Like it :)

 

 

Go Rexy.

It wouldn't surprise me in the least bit. This may not be him but that's the exact kind of thing Randy would do and think he could get away with it. Plus there's no way that guy's name was actually Woody and I would guess the average Tennessean would have referred to them as the Vols instead of Tennessee.

 

Remember this is the same guy who squirted a ref with his water bottle near the end of a playoff loss and thought he could get away with it by immediately hiding behind a lineman afterward. That was funny though.

That's a great picture.

In honor of Grossman and that picture:

I'll preface this by saying I wouldn't be surprised in the least if it was Moss calling in.

 

However, I don't think it was him. The voices sound very similar, but "Woody" has a deeper voice than Moss in comparison to the actual clip of Moss they played. Could it just be my imagination or the difference in days? Sure, but I'd tend to think that wasn't Moss, just somebody who sounds a lot like him. Also, it wouldn't be terribly odd for somebody from Nashville to refer to the Vols as Tennessee initially. If it were a caller from East Tennessee, that'd be different, but the devotion to UT dilutes a bit once you cross into Middle Tennessee.

 

Interestingly, this came out right about the same time the Tennessean ran a story about how Moss is happy with his role and has been intently tutoring Kenny Britt.

I don't doubt that he would do it, I just don't think they sounded similar.

Per ESPN: Rodgers is officially out of tomorrow night's game. Matt Flynn will be the staring QB for the Packers.

 

It's going to be a bloodbath, folks. Like lions v. Christians in the Roman Colosseum.
