Same here.

The playoff seeding really needs to be changed though. The Colts (12-4) should not have to play on the road against a team that went 8-8. I still think the Chargers are getting the surprise win today though. Same with the Cardinals.

Dan Patrick asks Matt Millen

“How responsible were you for this Lions season?”

…. ouch

You may gain some yards on the ground, but eventually Lofa will end up biting you in the ass.

I'm actually rooting for the Cards

I figure it makes our conference look less bad.

by LantermanC on Jan 3, 2009 2:45 PM PST up reply actions   0 recs

That doesn't make the Seahawks suck any less.

Rooting for the Cards is like a Bears fan rooting for the Packers…Seahawks fans aren’t there yet, but I think this team needs rivals.

by John Morgan on Jan 3, 2009 2:47 PM PST up reply actions   0 recs

Yeah, but at least people will think we suck less.

And our division might get more respect.

Kind of weird since I don’t really care what people think, but I hate when people say that the NFC West (and AFC West now) shouldn’t even get a playoff spot.

I am suffering a serious man-crush on Sanchez

most likely similar to a six-pack, 500 yard hotie

Sanchez is an impressive athlete.

He’s a great quarterback to sit for a season and let mature, because the talent is special.

What are the chances that his 'legal troubles'

despite being absolved of an accusations, causes Ruskell to dismiss the notion of drafting him (or at least downgrade his rating to the point that only if he has a Rodgers-like slide do we draft him?)?

by kidder95 on Jan 3, 2009 3:05 PM PST up reply actions   0 recs

No the legal troubles I was referring to were incidents in the past,

not possible future incidents. But I am also an advocating drafting him, though it really depends on where his stock is. If he is in the 15 or so range, than hell yeah trade down and draft him, if he’s in the top 5? Not quite so sure I’d be willing to spend 60 million quid on him.

by LantermanC on Jan 3, 2009 3:08 PM PST up reply actions   0 recs

Would you take risk on WR/QB

or go safe and take whatever OT available?

It is what it is...

by kidder95 on Jan 3, 2009 3:13 PM PST up reply actions   0 recs

If the OT we take is guaranteed to be good as the last two high LT picks

then the OT. But I’ve heard that all three top tackles have some possible warning flag weaknesses in the game.

Good Run D.... there, Turner just walked 10 yards for a td.

Arizona’s defense is so bad, too bad we weren’t at full strength on offense, we could’ve had some 50-50 shootouts.

Hello everyone I have been checking out this site everyday ever since the start of the season and ive just now made an account..so yeah..I really like the discussions that take place here and I appreciate the work that John and all of the other people who put this site together.

That said, the Cardinals pass rush is doing pretty good today. Do you think thats a main problem the Seahawks defense was so bad? Any quarterback can pick apart a defense with ample time, so do you think the Hawks pass rush is responsible for the regression of the whole defense?

Adding to that..Im now torn between the Hawks drafting an OL/QB/DL. Maybe we could get some pass rush in free agency?

by Seahawks CHS on Jan 3, 2009 4:04 PM PST reply actions   0 recs

What the crap?

You don’t need to tackle the guy anymore?

Nope.

Official called it dead.

That's dumb. The if an official calls it dead, and he's wrong,

then he should be shot dead. Officials should err on the side of caution. How can you call it dead after a second or two?

Eli Manning was wrapped.

The defense is screwed though, they can’t throw the quarterback down, so they just have to hold them.

Oh and sorry for the re-post. I didn’t think anyone caught the first one because I didn’t reply.

I saw it.

There’s no single answer to why Seattle’s defense played so poorly.

by John Morgan on Jan 3, 2009 4:17 PM PST up reply actions   0 recs

Is there someone/thing

that tracks average time it takes a QB to throw? That’d be interesting, and a stat for defenses as well, average time allowed before a throw/sack/Qb crosses line of scrimmage on a scramble?

by LantermanC on Jan 3, 2009 4:18 PM PST up reply actions   0 recs

Nope.

That would be an awesome stat.

by John Morgan on Jan 3, 2009 4:21 PM PST up reply actions   0 recs

Yes

You would have to factor in 3, 5, 7 step drops, screens and play action, but there should still be a large enough sample to get interesting results.

Didn’t Forsett run like a 4.6?

Yep.

Forsett could be somewhat like Sproles, but Norwood is in another league.

by John Morgan on Jan 3, 2009 4:24 PM PST up reply actions   0 recs

Not according to Madden

I think it’s 97 and 98 Speed. Not sure about acceleration. Funny how my team has Norwood, Sproles, and Chris Johnson.

by LantermanC on Jan 3, 2009 4:25 PM PST up reply actions   0 recs

Not sure, I think he was 97

but that was 3 years into the game, and he didn’t do so well apparently his first 3 years (not sure how)

by LantermanC on Jan 3, 2009 4:27 PM PST up reply actions   0 recs

Yeah, I know, they only have the 'explosive little back' thing in common

but Forsett isn’t that fast. And Norwood isn’t that small, just seems small like a Jones-Drew or something.

If both Mannings get injured on the first offensive play of the game

Say…. Bob Sanders tackles a going-out-of-bounds Eli into Peyton who’s standing on the sideline and both injure their knees/backs/heads/balls, then yes, I would want that. Otherwise, give me Ravens… Cardinals?

How does complete failure at the subject about which you are speaking qualify you as an ‘expert’?
It almost has a Bizzaro world quality to it. Perhaps the exact opposite of everything Millien says is in fact solid analysis.

Even thinking that is kind of disheartening.

I wouldn’t want to not be able to watch him play. I’m jealous of fans in Indianapolis who get to see him every week. I’ve almost considered downloading Colts games just to see him play.

Regardless, I think QB is the most interesting position on the field and I agree, a good QB is more fun to watch than just about anything.

But he had a Passer rating of 90 and got them to 11-5.

I don’t see how that’s a lack of success. Maybe he was lucky, maybe Belichick’s system is just good, but I don’t see how you can look at Matt Cassel’s 2008 and say it was a “lack of success”. Maybe he played above his talent level but still.

It wasn’t just that Utah beat them. It was how. The Utes were at least as physical in every matchup. They throttled Alabama’s defense from the opening kick (Andre Smith’s suspension didn’t have anything to do with that).

I agree, what an idiot. They don't need a quick score...

What would you rather have, a deep ball with 20% chance of a catch and 5% chance of an interception, or a short underneath route with a 75% chance of a gain. I mean there were 4 defenders on that deep pass.

In basketball you get paid more and you can play longer, and it doesn’t wear on your body as much, so if you can do it, you’d be pretty dumb to pick football over the NBA.

And Peterson would fit then.

Plus, if they were all DEs, than the front 7 would be 3 DTs (judging from the Chargers D-lines) and 4 DEs, which would be horrible in pass coverage, no?

Sure

He’s not prototypical, but damn close. Bane would be awesome as the other end. Red Bryant could theoretically play some nose, although I think we’d really need to find one. Peterson would be one hell of a perfect 3-4 OLB, despite his apparent lack of size. We all know what he does to way bigger OTs when he puts his hand down. Tatupu should fit.

We’d need a really good Ted backer(2nd MLB) and another OLB/DE hybrid, preferably one with more prototypical size than Peterson to help them stand up against the run.

So besides what we have, we’d need a Nose(an awesome nose is hugely critical for the 3-4), another MLB, one that has serious size, and an OLB/DE hybrid with size. There is no way Ruskell would add three front 7 players with size, let alone sign off on a change to the 3-4.

Not that I really would like to see that. Tatupu should be more productive in the 4-3 roaming the whole field, Peterson(perhaps the biggest pro for a 3-4) isn’t gonna be around forever and we already use his skills as if he were in the 3-4, Mebane would be equally disruptive in either scheme, and the 4-3 holds up better naturally against the run, unless you truly get those monster front 7 players, none of which we have.
