  1. hurricane marshawn
  2. run of the year
  3. new orleans looks gash-able
  4. wow, these refs really want to get new orleans on to the next round.
  5. i'm not worried about either of these teams. i wouldn't mind playing against brees and steamrolling that new orleans front.
  6. no like tim brewster
  7. funny you mention that, considering it was the jacobs fumble that was the turning point in the giants game. that was a hell of a bounce and a blind swat. Ok sure, but it was a 14 point game at the point. Given the final score, I don't think that was a huge turning point play. the Giants were driving and could have made it a one score game in the 3rd quarter.
  8. and, for the record, doesn't anyone want to stay somewhere for long anymore and maybe build a legacy and legend?
  9. I think he's banking on the 49ers sucking next year and then reuniting with Harbaugh. i said this in the other thread and was roundly shouted down.
  10. funny you mention that, considering it was the jacobs fumble that was the turning point in the giants game. that was a hell of a bounce and a blind swat.
  11. Or bad coaching. Or poor performance when a game is close and late. Or lack of a running game to run out the clock. Or lack of a run defense to stop the other team from running out the clock... these posts just sound like confirmation bias, to me is it bad coaching that Flynn mismanaged the clock at the end of the NE game, or that the refs decided to eat their whistles on the PI no-call in the 2nd Lions game? (disclaimer: i thought it pretty poetic justice, because the Packers could have easily have lost to us the first go-around had either of two PI no-calls on Woodson been called at the end of the game. this just goes to show how much luck is involved in close wins) Don't forget the first Bears game either, when the Bears got that crucial fumble at the end that directly led to the winning FG. It wasn't luck that got the Bears the fumble since the Bears defense is probably the best in the league at stripping the ball out of a ball carrier's hands, but I will say it is bad luck that the Packers gave it up. If you ran that play 100 times, I bet 95 times he just gets tackled. james jones has fumbled 3 times against the bears with 15 catches. i'd say it's more like 80 times out of a hundred.
  12. You think? the shots they've been getting have been good and they've used the 3 to set up the interior game. they haven't been hitting a lot of wild shots, they're just good shooters. I won't dispute that they're good shooters or that they haven't been getting great looks. I will bet my house that their Big Ten percentages drop by 10 points by the end of the year. they will play better teams, of course.
  13. someone break down the prospecty-ness of the people we gave up.
  14. he tends to either back up and try to escape out the back when facing pressure, or tuck and run. he can get away with this when facing pac-10 DE's. he doesn't step up enough in the pocket with his feet under him and throw, imo.
  15. but really, i think his undoing will be what undoes most bust qbs, his pocket presence. also, i think he's got college intermediate accuracy, but i don't think throwing behind receivers plays well in the pros. i think his release is mechanical and he throws off-balance a lot and he doesn't have the kind of arm-strength to be able to make up for it in the NFL. his deep ball leaves something to be desired, too. those are just my thoughts.
  16. when his mother dipped him in the river styx, she held him by the heel, you see.
  17. Zero respect? If more teams drafted running backs in the 1st round, Leshoure would get more hype. As is, he's getting a lot of love as the 2nd or 3rd best RB prospect in the draft. And Illinois RBs have a good name in the NFL thanks to Pierre Thomas and Mendenhall. i just mean no one's been talking about him. and i really don't care, i think he would be dumb to come back, though.
  18. the only thing he's had to worry about in his life is his step-mother hera putting snakes in his bed.
  19. and saving it and then having lots of time to enjoy it in a few years.
  20. Which fully explains why he is tied to the West Coast. I'm sure his dad who was the president of the World League has no insight on what he should do either. his dad is an ancient pagan deity that seduced his mother by taking the form of a powerful human aristocrat. everyone knows that.
  21. the kid has definitely had a rough life.
  22. but really, mikel leshoure set an illinois rushing record this year and is one of the top rb prospects potentially in the draft, i haven't been pimping him at all even though he's getting zero respect.
  23. If he played for Illinois you would be Tebowing his ass as we speak. if he played for illinois i would be wearing your watch right now
  24. they have the 2nd best point differential in all of football, despite a tough schedule (like the rest of the NFCN) just means their coaching sucks and their quarterback isn't really a hero-type.
