NFL Week 11 Thread - NFC Powerhouses Square off on MNF

You'd be hard pressed to find a better game this upcoming week than the Bears @ 49ers match-up. The game could take a decided different turn if either Cutler or Smith are ruled out due to their concussions.

If both Cutler and Smith are out there will be many better games, I reckon. Unless you like watching bad offenses play against very good defenses.

Dola...

I don't know that I'd call SF a bad offense. They're 11th in the NFL in yards per game (1st in rushing), and 15th in points per game.

Oh. I'm sorry.

I agree, we are not likely to find a better game.

You misheard her. It's actually a screening of the 20th anniversary edition of Patriot Games.

I did say if Smith wasn't playing. While I didn't watch the game, my impression was that the Kapernick-led offense wasn't all that great.

Ah, then I misread your post. You said "if Smith is out there will be..." which I read as "if Smith is out there, will be..."

My fault...kinda

Alex Smith has been cleared to play, and is participating in practice today. Good news for Niner fans.

I know Smith has to be cleared by the team doctor, a neurologist, and a second neurologist.

Far be it for me to question the offensive genius who can't put up 100 yards against the Bills, but why isn't Reggie Bush playing a little more?

I think Miami would have been better served by showcasing Matt Moore this season, then maybe working a trade and going with Tannehill. Surely the Browns or Jets or Cardinals would welcome the upgrade for a 3rd rounder or so.

The jets are the shitty guy in your MP league.

Is 2013's Salary Cap Driving the Jets 2012 Decisions?

Basically are holding out Tebow to avoid cap complications.

Even with Ben burger out, should the Ravens really be giving -3.5 with Flacco on the road when these games are always close?

AJ Green is incredible.

Want to take this moment to give a big shout out to IKEA, who called to tell me their delivery time range would be 1-5 PM, to which my response was, "So I can't go to a bar and watch the Bengals?"

Matty Ice vs. Nick Foles in my fantasy league, at the end of 1st Q Foles had 0 pts and Ryan had -5.

Jesus Christ, the Chiefs look like a reincarnation of the Bengals back when the Bengals were god awful (not that they're anything special). Now watch, Cincy will lose to them.

Even if the Cardinals win this game they should be tagged with a loss.

Whisenhunt and Graves should be fired. They've had like six years to develop a half-capable QB and have failed miserably.

We've secretly replaced the Falcons & Cardinals with the Auburn Tigers and the Tennessee Volunteers ... let's see if anyone notices.

If the Cardinals are this hard to watch every week, fans in Arizona have my sympathy.

As bad as the Chiefs are, they'll find a way to blow the #1 overall draft pick status.

Does it matter all that much this year? Is there are a consensus #1 overall draft pick that's so much better than #2 or #3 or #4 that it will matter that much?

I haven't really watched that much college football this year, but I can't think of a player off the top of my head.

Wow, I can't believe the Bucs won that game!

The Bucs looked horrible for most of the day offensively, but played absolutely perfect in the last 5 minutes and in OT. Don't look now but the Bucs are 6-4!

I haven't really watched that much college football this year, but I can't think of a player off the top of my head.

There are some really solid defensive players in the top ten, but I don't see a single skill player that is both top five talent and unlikely to bust. I'm not sold on any of the top five QBs and there isn't a Trent Richardson or AJ Green in this draft.

Vincent Jackson makes a HUGE catch in double coverage and then gets the 2-pt conversion to push overtime.

Then Dallas Clark gets free on the sideline and makes a tip-toe TD catch and is bombarded by teammates after being unlikely hero in Bucs win over Panthers.

Great week of games with a lot of superior teams being fortunate to win. Packers got out of Detroit with a win despite Crosby. They should bring in FA kickers this week for tryouts. Offense had two good drives and the defense without Matthews and Woodson really won that game. Should be a nice rematch next week vs NYG.
