Week 10 Mashup

[Jones31]

These teams suck!

[don28]

Cutler and Smith trade horrible INT's. This could turn into a game of EPIC FAIL.

[gnarl]

man I wish I could see this game! hopefully I get off work soon..I enjoy a good car wreck.

[Jones31]

Hey they can at least call delay of game.

[don28]

Both of these teams look like pretenders so far.

[NYTitan21]

lmfao Cutler throws 5 picks

[kfmac70]

Ron Winter is the worst crew in football. They ruin every game they officiate.

That said, I am never defending Cutler again. He is a moron in the red zone.

There's no defending Cutler for this season's performance. He has regressed beyond a shadow of a doubt this season. He has single-handedly cost the Bears in 4 of their 5 losses.

[kfmac70]

Cutler's issue has become leadership.

The defense doesn't believe in him, and he spends no time cultivating a relationship with his teammates except arguing about what they did wrong and yelling at them. He's a terrible leader. He's a cocky punk and I've been watching this garbage since 2002.

I have never been down on Cutler but tonight is my breaking point.

HE'S THE REASON VANDY NEVER WON #6 while he was there, HE'S THE REASON DENVER CHOKED A GOOD SEASON, and HE'S THE REASON THE BEARS ARE 4-5 and going to miss the playoffs.

[TitansFan23]

Yeah... I have to admit it.

Jay stinks.

Looks like VY was the best of the three after all.

[Parddy]

That game was one of those ugly grinders. You gotta win one or two of them every year though. Nice to see the niners pull out the win. They really needed it.

[gnarl]

lol @ cutler

I don't think VY has even thrown 5 picks in one game.

[MDK Titan]

what is this, like the third time a QB has thrown 5 picks in a game this season?

[Titan723]

Lol, I benched Matt Forte.

[TTP77]

It's not going to get any better for Chicago


After a heart-wrenching loss in San Fran on Thursday night, the Chicago Bears are left looking for answers to a cornucopia of questions. One might be more pressing than others: what will we get out of Orlando Pace for the rest of the season?

Vaughan McClure of the Chicago Tribune elected to bury what we feel is the lead in a post following the game: "left tackle Orlando Pace said he was feeling a little dizzy late in the game, so he might have sustained a concussion." Pace was knocked out of the game with what was originally described as having his wind knocked out. A concussion is obviously much worse.

According to the depth chart on the Bears website, Kevin Shaffer is the swing tackle backup and he replaced Pace on Thursday night. We'll have more on Pace when further tests come back on his noggin.

[Jones31]

Who's laughing now Chicago...........

[gnarl]

Who's laughing now Chicago...........

i know i am...

hey, atleast Chicago is home the always loveable Ferris Bueller
that should take away a bit of the sting

[Jones31]

Well at least they have the Blackhawks..... they know how to win.

[Titanico]

The games that look more interesting to watch on Sunday are:

- Cinnci vs. Pitt. (12 CDT)
- N.E. vs. Indianapolis (7:20 CDT)

and possibly, S.D. vs Philadelphia (3:15 CDT)

[Jones31]

Reported that NFL sent meno to all 32 teams & 5 broadcast partners to instruct on-field contractors to have no interaction with players.


Wonder what that is about.

[Sect309Fan]

Denver falls to Washington. :huh

They are 0-3 and we are 3-0 since we got their punter.


Carolina is on a nice 4 game win streak after starting 0-5. Could they be the first team to start 0-5 and make the playoffs?

The Jags are 5-4 and play Buffalo at home next week. They could easily take over 2nd place in the AFC South if the Titans take care of business against the Texans. If the Titans keep winning, we need the Texans to beat the Jags, which gives the Titans the tiebreaker over both of them (if we win out).


And way to go Bengals!!!! 1st place in the AFC North by basically two games with the tiebreaker.

[gnarl]

lol @ darius heyward-bey

dude can't catch for shizzz

i bet the raiders are wishing they drafted crabtree

also, didn't a bunch of people want us to draft him?

[gnarl]

ok ok im sorry but seriously

i dont know whats more entertaining...watching the titans beat the bills or watching how horrible oakland is

its kind of sad my favorite player to watch is JaMarcus Russell cause he sucks so bad its funny.

[Titansfan777]

What happened to dmc5. It's like he fell of the face of the earth.

[Sect309Fan]

Packers are going to beat Dallas. :D 17-0 in the 4th, and Romo just got intercepted.

[gnarl]

yes! tomorrow will be a good day for me

[don28]

It was quite interesting to watch the Titans' receivers run their pass patterns today. Kenny Britt and Nate Washington run nice, crisp routes whether or not they are part of the play. Lavelle Hawkins, on the other hand, ran very lazy patterns that would have never convinced me the ball was coming his way if I was defending him. It's no wonder he can't get playing time; he's not playing PROFESSIONAL football, more like sandlot football.

JaMarcus Russell is the worst QB in the league, maybe in league history. Going 9/25 against the Chiefs, after going 8/23 against them earlier this season, is almost impossible to do considering how bad the Chiefs are on both sides of the ball. Thankfully Tom Cable didn't decide to bench Russell until the 4th quarter, or else the Chiefs might have lost.

Jamaal Charles running for over 100 yards against the Raiders, behind the same offensive line Larry Johnson could only average 2.7 yards per carry, is quite an indictment of where Johnson is and what he has left. Whoever signs him won't get much; I doubt that Johnson is signed for anything longer than the rest of this season.

Every time the Cowboys look ready to become the elite of the NFC, they go out and play like they did today in Green Bay. What was that? I know it's November; apparently Tony Romo and Company are going into hibernation even earlier than they have in previous seasons.

Got to give some consideration for Coach of the Year to Marvin Lewis of the Bengals. After losing in such a heartbreaking manner on Opening Day, he has led his team to a 7-1 record. The Bengals have swept the season series from the Ravens and Steelers. This team is not the Bengals of old ineptitude; they are the Bengals of old contendership.

The Jets' 2-0 start looks further and further away as the season plays on. Mark Sanchez is looking like the rookie he is more and more; he'll still have a great career, but he's going through those struggles right now. Rex Ryan doesn't have much trash to talk about now, does he?

What to make of the enigma that is the Jacksonville Jaguars? Each week no one knows what to expect from them, probably even Coach Jack Del Rio. I like Del Rio, and believe that he has his team overachieving. They don't have the talent to be 5-4, but they've found a way to make it happen.

Nice post, Don. You should get a column somewhere.

:thumbsup

[Parddy]

The Jets actually started 3-0. Seems like forever ago.

[Titansfan777]

A strange turn of events in the game right now

[Titansfan777]

Disgusting. Manning wins.

[SwissTitansFan]

Belichick = cocky S.O.B

[TitansFan23]

Patriots... FAIL

[pookha]

that 's fine./
when the colts had their best regular seasons is when they did nothing in the playoffs.
people forget they did best in one of their most average seasons.
;)

[Titansfan777]

Well that left a sour taste in my mouth. Brady still has 2 more trophies tho. Haha suck it manning

[hooktool]

WTF??????? The hoody lost his mind. Go for it on fourth and two, on your own 30 (or so) with a 6 point lead and just over 2 minutes to go? WTF?????? I didn't go to coach's school, and I've never been part of winning a Superbowl, but WTF??????

On another note, F**K Peyton Manning. I never get tired of saying that. :)

John

[kfmac70]

What the heck did Belichick just do? That was the biggest boneheaded move I have ever seen.

Even Dungy is stunned.

[RohitTheNair]

Bulluck's take on Belichoke's call:

mannnnn that was a wack ass call! That's a perfect example of a coach trying 2 effect the game instead of let'n the players play

[t1tan5]

I'm not so much happy the Colts won as the Pats lost. The Emperor deserved to lose. That was the most questionable coaching call I've seen in a while, possibly the worst ever based on the stakes. What a cocky mother....

[nikki32]

The Colts came through in the clutch. Manning was clutch when it counted tonite. Also, did anyone notice the copious amount of tape on Brady's knee? But Brady, I am sorry, acted like a bitch when the game was over and headed straight for the tunnel. Sorry, just my take on it. I used to admire him. Thought he was hot and ****...but he appears by my estimation to just be a dick. JMO.

[Maximus]

Wonder if they make gas-x for a brain fart?:p

Clutch would have been bringing all the way downfield. That was a gimme for Peyton-Nobody in the universe thought he wouldn't score from there. But, you're right, he did it. AND, Tom Brady is a dick. :)

John

[Parddy]

I don't know, it takes balls to make a call like that. If they make the 2 yards the game is over. Manning from 30 yard out or 65 yards out with two minutes to go doesn't make much difference. He gambled and lost. Those two teams will probably meet again somewhere down the road.. Albeit it will be in Indy.

That wasn't clutch... that was a gift.

Do brains actually fart? :lolhit

[hooktool]

And it was the "Battle of the Whiny Bitches"

John

[nikki32]

That wasn't clutch... that was a gift.

True...but I still feel like those 14 points just didn't fall into the Colts' lap. It does suck that they are our rivals and all...both defenses I felt like were not clutch. But if I had to put my money on someone being clutch right now it would be Manning. As much as it sucks to say.

Meanwhile, in Dallas, excuses are still being made for Romo. He sucks in the clutch. Literally, cannot take the pressure. He was awful today and I am not at all surprised. Mentally, he is just not there. JMO.

Brady does not look like he is having fun out there. Just my own observation. He is super scowly and brows furrowed and not enjoying stuff. Maybe he is not uber excited about having another kid with Leo's hand-me downs. I don't know.

The only game I got burnt on with my picks was the Washington/Denver game. I totally picked Denver. Ouch. Burn. I suck.

[Parddy]

Who in their right mind would have picked Washington? I wasn't sure if the skins would win another game.

[Jones31]

Prevent defense the drive before then deciding to go for it.... which is going to rank up there as his worst call ever. Sorry can't see it as not just falling into their lap.
How to lose on the final drive.
2006 AFC Championship comes to mind.

[pookha]

brady may not be having "fun" simply because it takes more then a year to really recover from an acl.
one can play but so many reports over the years have mentioned it takes over a full season more to get closer to normal.
he might have felt fine against us but as the season goes on things can get harder.

and mr billl just gave that game away.
hoodie must have been too tight.
;)

[Jones31]

Dodging Mathis and Freeney all night likely isn't fun.

[nikki32]

Who in their right mind would have picked Washington? I wasn't sure if the skins would win another game.

That is what I thought. I had no idea that the Broncs are going through some kind of weirdo implosion of their own. My other picks though were solid. I beat my stupid friend Kirk who texts me daily to say the Titans suck without proding. At least tonite's game lived up to the hype in the last few minutes. I still would have punted if I were the Emperor. But I am not a coach. They had a decent shot to make it. I think that they are not as good as advertised...the Patriots. Also, they have losses and ****. The Colts have none. Now, granted, it is entirely possible that in their quest for the Holy Grail (perfect season...and I am not saying that they are on said quest) that they could blow their wad along the way. But still...NO didn't look all that great against St. Louis. And yes NO has an explosive offense. But still...in a shoot out with STL? :lmao

But did you see all that tape on Brady's knee? I just thought that was a bit odd. JMO. Especially, since it was so obvious and no one addressed it really.

He does wear a brace on that knee.

[pookha]

just about anyone who undergoes ACL reconstruction feels different the first year, sometimes 18 months. That the noises and the soreness and the swelling all is part of the process of coming back from a significant injury that fells dozens of NFL players every year.


acl recovery (http://www.greenbaypressgazette.com/article/20091017/PKR01/91017038/Care-for-NFL-players%5C--torn-ACLs-is-better--but-still-not-perfect)

Yep, I appear to be wrong on that one, at least so far. Didn't I man up and tell you that a few weeks ago? I believe I did. :lol

[Yvette]

The Browns/Ratbirds game was almost as painful as our first six games combined. I think Brady Quinn is permanently traumatized.

[MDK Titan]

yeah the Browns QB situation is almost as bad or maybe even worse than Ryan Leaf/Jim Harbaugh.

[gnarl]

yeah the Browns QB situation is almost as bad or maybe even worse than Ryan Leaf/Jim Harbaugh.

and the raiders QB situation is worse than theirs...how sad

[MDK Titan]

how could I forget the Raiders? would you rather be sucked into a black hole, or flushed down a huge toilet covered in a pile of ****?
