Happy Thanksgiving.
Suh might kill Whitehead today.
Not when I was supposed to drive to Burien.

Maybe I'll move to Bellingham if I ever get a job.
Eh, either there or Canada.
by Coach Owens on Nov 25, 2010 10:08 AM PST up reply actions
I love ET
But there is no possible way Suh doesn’t win DROY.

Alanya's mother didn't want to drive in the snow/freezing rain.

Understandable.
The ice is more of a problem than the snow actually.

We were to about Centralia when ice started forming on the windshield

Wow, I'd say.
49ers were stupid to ever let go of this guy.

And it looks like that Troy Smith bandwagon came to a halt
There’s almost no way they don’t draft a QB.

Well their gameplan for about 5 years running
Was “If Gore works, the offense works”.

Depends who the head coach is, I guess.
by John Morgan on Nov 25, 2010 10:22 AM PST up reply actions
If its a new coach
And it probably will be
I think it will be more likely that they bring in a Veteran.
Befoer Detroit's loss to Dallas
The Lions had a positive point differential.

That doesn't really mean anything.
Blowouts tend to help point differential.
by John Morgan on Nov 25, 2010 10:37 AM PST up reply actions
yes.
the blowout helped their point differential. That’s what I said.

Already the best 4-3 tackle in football?

Haynesworth when he tries
But he doesn’t so I give Suh the nod

But Vanden Bosch had the hit.

That one was clean, but Suh came crashing in after Brady had let the ball go.
Didn’t really hit him though.
I hate Jim Mora so much
If we had tanked it about 3 weeks earlier and Ruskell was on this team we’d have had this man.

Suh and Mebane together. How awesome would that be

That would be awesome
But that could be the Lions front four.

What position could Suh have possibly played
Goalkeeper?

So what is the deal with Detroit. They seem to be playing really well in this game, but then next week they'll get beat by a bad team
They confuse me
Best 2-8 team ever.

Decided they need an elite defensive end.
by John Morgan on Nov 25, 2010 10:28 AM PST up reply actions
Stafford has missed what, six games or something? Seven?
by Coach Owens on Nov 25, 2010 10:36 AM PST up reply actions
What I'm saying is that if Stafford had been in some of those close games that they lost (especially the game against
Buffalo), they could have at least a 5-5 record right now.
by Coach Owens on Nov 25, 2010 10:48 AM PST up reply actions
And that bullshit call against Chicago.

Opps, Better than Hill
But I don’t exactly watch the Lions regularly so I’m not the best to judge.
He's not better than Hill, but's 22
Quarterbacks peak in their late 20s.
by John Morgan on Nov 25, 2010 10:56 AM PST up reply actions
It's like the Seahawks are beating the Patriots.
I suffer from IBS, otherwise known as "Influx of Billick Syndrome".
I am actually starting to wonder if Alex Smith will turn into a good QB when he leaves SF
The rest seem to have.
Hill was decent in San Fran
Alex Smith was never.

okung, sims, spencer, unger (chris gray 2.0) and andrews woulda been nice......
Total rosterbation I know but damn if that wouldn’t be a clean pocket.

The only reason you root for the Patroits...
…is if you have one of their fantasy players. And even then, there should be a gag reflex that prevents you from completing your root.
The only football teams I hate outright are the Steelers and the Cowboys.

Cards
anyone? Dockett… Antre Rolle, Warner… when they were Cardinals
by jubelthebear on Nov 25, 2010 10:46 AM PST up reply actions
As a rival and only kind of
but if they were moved to the AFC, I would stop caring about them altogether.
by John Morgan on Nov 25, 2010 10:48 AM PST up reply actions
I can dig it.
I feel the ol’ AFC West teams felt that way about the Seahawks.
by jubelthebear on Nov 25, 2010 11:23 AM PST up reply actions
I have absolutely hated the Cardinals since 2007 (the year before they won the division).

Niners Seahawks
is coming along. If the division comes down to the Rams Seahawks; Week 17 should help spur some animosity.

I have no problem with the Patriots.
Brady is God.
Rings be damned
P. Manning > Brady

by SSreporters on Nov 25, 2010 10:47 AM PST up reply actions
Brady is more "clutch" or whatever you want to say
But I’d take Manning as the better overall QB who is far more influential in the league than Tom.

by SSreporters on Nov 25, 2010 10:49 AM PST up reply actions
I don't think Brady has any special ability to win the big game
I think he has played for better overall teams.
by John Morgan on Nov 25, 2010 10:50 AM PST up reply actions
So I wouldn't say Brady has a special ability to win big games
but Manning finds ways to lose them more than he should.
Think I would have to research that before I put any stake in it.
by John Morgan on Nov 25, 2010 10:54 AM PST up reply actions
It probably doesn't help that every game against the Patriots is considered a big game
and the Patriots excel at confusing quarterbacks. I think his first two implosions against the Pats in the playoffs were in inclimate weather as well.
I actually thought Manning turned the corner
When the Colts beat the Pats in ’05.

by SSreporters on Nov 25, 2010 10:59 AM PST up reply actions
I think it's because Brady had a above average defense and Manning has nobody.
I am the master of my fate; I am the captain of my soul - Invictus
I think this year more than ever even without the injuries
Indy is a bad football team helped by a great QB.

Numbers
I think defenses do a lot more gameplanning on Manning than for Brady. With Brady all you need to do is hassle him and he’s average.
Manning is a brainiac and I want him as a head coach.

Until you try it I don't think you can say that it won't make you taller
It probably won’t, but there still is a chance that it will. Lottery ticket, but still possible.
So since it's thanksgiving...What type of Potatoes are y'all serving tonight?
Traditional Mashed with a little bit of 4-cheese scalloped for me.

I use yellow potatoes.

Mashed potatoes, with roasted garlic, mascarpone cheese and chives

Backup Stafford.
Hass is better than Hill.
by Coach Owens on Nov 25, 2010 11:01 AM PST up reply actions
We've seen how good Hass can be when he's not being pressured on every play and when he has
a gameplan based around his strengths. He’s not 2005 good, but he’s not as bad as we thought either.

Notice how much better Hass performs in the game he's sacked 1 or fewer times.
Except for the Denver game (which is a tough place for any QB to play in), he’s played like his old self in those games.
by Coach Owens on Nov 25, 2010 11:11 AM PST up reply actions
Would Hass stiff the team he played for for 10 ten seasons
and sign with a division rival?

I don't think he want to come close to Darnell Dockett

Sims is tearing it up this game
near as I can tell. I haven’t been watching the whole time.
This wooden soul of mine, it cannot ever climb from places it has fallen: In between where light can shine. It never falls in line, it barely has a spine, like branches severed from the vine. Like it was faulty by design.

We have goal-line backs
We just don’t have an offensive line.
Which has me thinking why don’t we lineup in a two-back set at the goal line and have Lynch plunge it up the guy instead of this “run left side” idea?

But it wasn't a big deal before they did it over and over again against Arizona

Wow I forgot
Even when we tried that terrible QB sneak we ran left.
Locklear is just completely inept and the coaches don’t trust him.

"It was miscommunication--that's what happens".

Palmer's officially one of the worst QBs in football
I suffer from IBS, otherwise known as "Influx of Billick Syndrome".
Marv Lewis was unable to challenge a play (he would've lost)
Because he couldn’t find the flag.
Palmer’s just been sacked for a safety and hasn’t even hit 4 yards per attempt.
Joe Theismann doesn’t like anybody.
Sanchize overthrows and gets wild and panicky.
That’s your game in a nutshell.
Good night all.

So, Branch caught a 79 yard pass today?
How the hell did that happen?
