    I think we could get a block on that punter at some point today.
  2. Soul
    Their punter is the worst.
  3. Soul
    Umm, Vasher got burned there.

    You don't understand their frustration? I do. If you'd told me at the beginning of the season what Grossman's stats, our record, and total points scored this season at this point would be, I'd have been thrilled. The frustration with turnovers I can understand. But 4th downs happen. It's the cumulation of frustration over his bad play. It's totally understandable. It's him coming back to earth after an amazing start to a season. The first 5 or so games were the worst thing that could have happened to Rex. People built up Rex so high, that all he could do was fall. Coming down to earth would be one thing. A zero QB rating is something different entirely.

    Really? Him getting stepped on, and throwing the ball away when no one was open? I'm not sure that I see those as problems with Rex. He has 15 yards and 2 INTs. You don't think that's a problem?
  7. Soul
    What? Nobody was open. What was he supposed to do? This was posted before that play.

    He came off flexing his hand though. I hope he's not hurt.

    Rex obviously has no confidence. This is getting very bad guys.
  11. Soul
    Let's just stick with the run, it's working.
  12. Soul
    Agreed. This is beyond stupid. Tommie Harris said it right early in the season: "We don't even know what to do anymore."

    MY GOD WHAT A RIDICULOUS CALL.
  14. Soul
    Damn it, that sucks bones.

    grossman has more than one option. he should know that if he's throwing downfield in this weather, berrian had better be pretty open. he wasn't. Berrian one on one against a bad defensive back isn't a terrible read. Bernard did a horrible job on that play by not coming back for it at all. But that was the primary read on the play and that's what he threw. There just isn't a reason to call that play in the first place. Rex's arm is alright, but that was just too far a throw for him. If he wants that read, then he needs to throw it sooner than that and he didn't. At least some of that is on Rex, like it or not.

    If Griese plays, that's a distinct possibility. He's just as turnover prone. He's not *this* turnover prone though. I really want Rex to get it together because I understand what you're saying. But this is going south so damn quick. Yes he is. His track record shows it. There's a reason Denver let him go. He would consistently make poor decisions. Football is just like baseball sometimes. You have a mediocre, veteran guy with a mediocre arm as a backup, and people throw adjectives around like "experienced", "savvy", "game manager", "ball control guy" and whatever. I know it. I don't see Griese tossing picks like this though. But I still just want Rex to start playing better.

    DEVIN HESTER LET ME COOK DINNER FOR YOU!!!!

    I'm getting sick of this. That was another dumb play.

    It didn't look like he even did anything wrong. That's what my friend told me -- I'm not getting the game on TV. I hate him anyways though, it's not just that call. He's had a pretty solid year.... He just makes a lot of mistakes, he could be a great CB in this league but he's constantly getting dumb penalties called on him or getting burned deep. He hasn't gotten burned deep any more than other solid CB's this year. There are 16 NFC teams, that's 32 cornerbacks. Tillman is currently 5th in pro bowl voting, even after Steve Smith's whipping him in the playoffs. You might want to cut Till a bit of a break. He didn't do a damn thing wrong on that play, it was a terrible call by the refs.

    Well they need to get their butts off the field on this 3rd down.
  23. Soul
    My God, this is happening just like my nightmares.

    It would be in your head too if an entire fanbase turned on you despite having a decent season overall. Yes, that's been my argument. Unfortunately most people seem to think players are bulletproof and the negativity will have no effect. I do not believe that. At all. And I think Rex is a perfect test case. The media has beaten him with negativity so much he's having trouble mustering the confidence to play anymore.
  25. Soul
    It wasn't close to a good read. It's in his head now.
