    ST isn't a big deal and is fine.

    Damn I want Crosby from 2 yrs ago

    Wow Geno looks pretty damn good

    Ok. One good game then yanked after one bad one. Seems like a pretty quick hook why not just start the season with him then. Because Cassel's only a placeholder and it's incredibly obvious to everybody. Nobody really believes Cassel is their answer at QB. The strategy should be play Cassel until he costs you a game (which he did today) and then either try Ponder and see if he can keep from costing you games or go to Bridgewater if he's ready. You can't keep running a QB out there who has a history of being terrible and was just terrible again. Last week was a fluke, this week was a continuation of the norm for Cassel. Just start with Bridge then. 2 games yields zero additional development.

    I need the receiving corps back and healthy, a better Cutler every week, all kinds of better defense... Much better ST Just a ton of improvements before feeling better about this team. Keeping this game competitive might help a little even though a loss is a loss.

    Hehe. Sorry OleMiss but that was terrible

    They're playing the Jags and their D was presumed to be pretty decent - hard to tell though. Cousins may fit Gruden's system better than RG3, I'm not ready to right Griffin off as terrible yet. It's a brutal unforgiving sport though. Injuries will kill a career even if they are flukes or whatever else. He's already been through a nearly catastrophic one, we'll see what this one turns out to be.

    Looks like Buffalo isn't entirely terrible.

    Geez raw stop making me read that much.

    Because he dropped it. I don't understand why you'd need sound to see the ball come out.

    I normally try to avoid drinking on work nights but I'm guessing there's no way I can avoid it tomorrow. :| I'm committed to no-alcohol Sundays, so I'm in trouble tonight. All my insane babbling on here will be sober. I just can't believe it's week 2 and we are activating practice squad WRs. Holy [expletive] crap.

    Nat'l TV beat down. I'm going to be watching it
  14. Soul
    Yeah, but how effective
  15. Soul
    Not sure why I missed this, but I did. Anyway, I find it disturbing that you remember that whole thing.

    They've been making it up as they go along, for several years now. I'm not sure who to blame: incompetent refs, or incomprehensible rules, or what. Probably a little of both. But the result is you see flags and just cringe -- then many times you see the replay and it's just stupid. And I'll say that about calls that go in the Bears favor, all day long. Plus it makes the games longer and takes the wind out of exciting parts. We can all just go on & on. Worst drag on football in a generation.

    I watched that live yesterday and it was weird. I'm sure there was an advisor there who was not happy, he's still heavily involved with the League as he mentioned his close relationship with Goodell. I definitely think they're covering it up by playing the dumb card. Judging by the amount of time non-sports news outlets are dedicating to this thing, I'd say the dumb card isn't working. And the obvious league tampering is really starting to anger the wrong people. The NFL better hope another bombing or other disaster occurs to take focus off this, if they want it to go away.

    I think the line can shut down Gore. It's Kaepernick that we will probably have trouble with out of the pocket. Unless Tucker changes his defensive scheme to include LB's actually do something on defense. If they shut down Gore and Hyde, it'll be because they commit resources to the middle. So yeah Kaepernick will kill them on the outside because of that. They can also do a number of others things to take advantage of that, as you know.

    Complaining about yet another hyperbolic sports article is like complaining about clouds in the sky. Yeah people continue to do it, but it's pointless nonetheless.
  20. Soul
    Haha, yeah that's pretty awesome. Conte's like, whoa that looks horrible I better bail.
  21. Soul
    Hah, it just got pulled. http://ftw.usatoday.com/2014/09/rihanna-cbs-thursday-night-football Goodell interview instead. Looks like Rihanna will be back though.

    4-12 is much better than 6-10.

    The bloom came off Reid's rose pretty quick after that Titans loss, didn't it.

    posts like these mystify me "i hate this guy, i won't specify why, so reward him with clicks!" Sometimes venting is worth the additional 40 cents Clay Travis might make off a column. The good news is most of us know Clay Travis is a jackass and therefore won't click on it anyway. I'd still like a little detail on why the guy is "just the [expletive] worst." There are lots of jackasses writing articles out there.

    I'm sure he will. I didn't think that I said he wouldn't. All I'm trying to say is that I could see players beginning to question him a little quicker than usual. Could even lead to him being replaced sooner than one would originally think. You said barring a complete collapse... I think that's on the table right now. Detroit looked good. Vikings looked good - better than I thought. GB will put it together in all likelihood. Beyond that it's SF, CAR, ATL, NE, NO. All of those could be losses. Let's say they go 2-4 in division, with another 5 losses outside. 7-9 in his second season isn't going to satisfy many people. It's a game worse than year 1. Another game like BUF and we're talking 6-10. What do you think anyway? I'm just curious. IIRC you were one who said Trestman might have more trouble if the team struggled.
