NFL Week Four

[Travis]

Kind of early I know, but I just had a chuckle today reading the preview for the Bears/Seahawks game this weekend.

It features the offensive and defensive players of the month, which isn't all that odd, except the offensive player is from Chicago and the defensive player is from Seattle.

Big test for the Seahawks, really hoping that Gray and Locklear are both able to perform at least at 90% or even with the 4 wideout system, they'll be forced into 3 step drops all day which will give the Bears secondary a great opportunity to start jumping routes. The loss of Alexander (I think) is over rated as Morris is better suited to face the Bears D (quick decision north/south runner as opposed to the stutter style of Alexander). In the end, I really think Seattle can still put up 14-17 points on the Bears D, so it'll be whether or not their D can limit Grossman and Co. to less than that. Here's hoping the D can continue their fine season (4th quarter of the Giants game not really included).

[Lorena]

Yeah, this week we'll find out what the Chargers are made of. Playing the Raiders and the Titans can make any team look stellar.

[Butter]

Let's go Chargers! Woo!

[Noble_Platypus]

I'll be at the Ravens-Chargers game sunday. It should be a good one. I dont really like the Chargers, but since I hate the Ravens I'll be rooting for SD

[Towelhead]

Love the Chargers.

Ever since Natrone Means stole the show and Doug Flutie took command like a field general, I've been a supporter. But Tomlinson doesn't have a chance. Ravens win.

I wish that Smith could sit out this week against the Saints. Our secondary is TERRIBLE. I *know* that this is a rebuilding year and I should be glad that the Linebacker corps (which was assembled the week before week 1) HASN'T been ridiculed and Brees hasn't been knocked out of a game yet.

I just can't stop wishing that McKenzie were 2" taller to go against the receivers in the Bump & Run. To those who don't know him, he's the CB from GB that has the long dreadlocks. I don't think he's being outrun, but he's being outplayed way too often.

sigh.

[Doug5984]

Saints - Panthers always a good game.

Lets go 4 - 0!

[k0ruptr]

WOOOO lets go panthers baby, stevie smith and keyshaun may have a HUGE day against that secondary that hasnt been exposed yet.

[Dutch]

Two words to sum up a new Dynasty in the NFL

Bruce Gradkowski. I can't wait!!!

[duckman]

Awesome, the Titans changed their minds and will start Vince Young against the Cowboys. I hope Roy Williams gets a chance to welcome him to league when he scrambles. :D

[RendeR]

Bengals - Patriots game will be the semi-official changing of the guard from old dynasty to new regime in the AFC!

GO BENGALS!

[Shkspr]

Awesome, the Titans changed their minds and will start Vince Young against the Cowboys. I hope Roy Williams gets a chance to welcome him to league when he scrambles. :D

Well, that's at least 45 yards and three first downs Tennessee will get...

[k0ruptr]

Well, that's at most 45 yards and three first downs Tennessee will get...

fixed

[kingfc22]

Ehh, that should not have been a first down on that 3rd and 1 for the Chiefs. They got one hell of a spot.

[Huckleberry]

Well, the Titans got 35 yards and 3 first downs on the first drive (plus a 5-yard penalty).

[kingfc22]

DAMN IT Gore. Hold onto the damn football!!!

[mrsimperless]

The Jets running game is making the Colts rushing D look like the Ravens. Or maybe last year's running defense is back for Indy? Brackett looks like the Rutgers monster that he is today.

[Logan]

DAMN IT Gore. Hold onto the damn football!!!

Officially starting to get worried about him.

[Dutch]

Two words to sum up a new Dynasty in the NFL

Bruce Gradkowski. I can't wait!!!

Dadgum bye week.

[mrsimperless]

Why does CBS hate the Colts? For the love of Christ, get Deirdorff out of the booth for our games! He seriously needs to get our opponents cocks out his mouth. Wait till the game is over, jackass.

There is no question as to why this moron was demoted from MNF.

[Neuqua]

I really wish I was watching the Chargers/Ravens game.

[fantastic flying froggies]

Not much scoring in that first half...

or is it just an impression?

[sachmo71]

Nice cleat rake by Haynesworth. That's a couple of games off, dick.

[ISiddiqui]

Yikes... what is up with Atlanta in the red zone?!! At least Morten Anderson has been right on the money.

[RGunner]

Nice cleat rake by Haynesworth. That's a couple of games off, dick.

yea, that was a dick move for sure...gotta love him arguing with the refs and his coach about getting tossed...good thing gurode only has a cut on his face rather than broken bones or anything...meanwhile dallas is KILLING them...tennessee is horrible

[kingfc22]

I really wish I was watching the Chargers/Ravens game.

Yea, I have long since turned off the Niners game. We sent out our 2004 team today in KC. Luckily I do get to watch the SD/BAL game.:)

[ISiddiqui]

Norwood with a 78 yd TD run... man dat boy run fast!

[Raiders Army]

Come on Al and Art, do something this week.

[dervack]

Colts take a 24-21 lead, and the Jets return the KO for a 28-24 lead.

[kingfc22]

J-E-T-S, Jets, Jets Jets

[Rizon]

Last Play: TWO-POINT CONVERSION ATTEMPT. R.Brown pass to C.Chambers is incomplete. ATTEMPT FAILS. (MIA 23 Brown attempted the halfback pass.)

WHAT.

[kingfc22]

Very smart play by Marty to give up the 2 pts.

[Rizon]

I HATE THE DOLPHINS.

[dervack]

I HATE THE DOLPHINS.
Well, relying on Daunte is your first mistake.

[General Mike]

good effort by the Jets, but they just didn't have enough.

[sterlingice]

Dang, close but no cigar for the Saints.

SI

[ISiddiqui]

These last two minutes of the Panthers-Saints game has been ridiculous. Two long TDs... but it looks like the Panthers will knock off the Saints now.

[Philliesfan980]

Wow, that hook and ladder play at the end by the Jets was close. Coles has heart man, I'll give him that.

[sabotai]

Yeah, I thought the Jets had that at the end for a second but not quite. That was a hell of a game.

[jbmagic]

Come on Al and Art, do something this week.

Yep

[TargetPractice6]

The last 3 minutes of the Jets-Colts game were just awesome.

[sterlingice]

Yay. Browns v Raiders for our 2nd game here *yawn*

SI

[biological warrior]

Lots of very good endings this week, I just hope the Jets v. Colts game is on NFL replay this week on the NFL network.

[Neuqua]

Marcus Robinson just missed what could have been a spectacular catch.

[Northwood_DK]

That was one stupid play by the Redskins

[Logan]

I have Torry Holt in 2 of my fantasy leagues, so I would've loved for him to get credit for the TD, but that announcer was wrong. He never had full control of the ball, despite how he had two feet down. That was an appropriate overturn (of the call originally being a fumble).

[Northwood_DK]

Nice move by Santana Moss

[Desnudo]

Do the Patriots have the most dreadlocked players in the league?

[Tigercat]

I'll say it again: Rookie of the year: Marques Colston.(132yrds recieving on the day with one LONG TD). He is one great 4th to last 7th round draft pick. Every decade or so Hofstra gives the NFL one very good WR. :)

[Desnudo]

Brady continuing his trend of missing open receivers.

[Desnudo]

Sometimes I think Bill B. is too smart for his own good. Should just be running the ball and controlling the clock. Dillon is obviously fired up.

[Craptacular]

Nice job of tackling by the Redskins on that Williams TD ... three guys have him surrounded with one Jax player on the ground, and they barely touch him. Sorry if this happened a while ago, but they just showed the clip on the NE / Cin game.

[Desnudo]

They really need to look at changing either the rules or the formations on kick-offs and punts. Flag on every other play.

[Desnudo]

Was there a real clamor for the return of the Pepsi machine?

[st.cronin]

I'm starting to dig the double-wing.

[Desnudo]

I'm waiting for them to break out the leather helmets.

[Desnudo]

Next big thing in NE - rastah wigs?

[jbmagic]

21-3 Raiders.

Go Raiders

[SirFozzie]

Geez, the Pats are getting bette with the passing cohesion. that was a great change at the line by Brady.

[DaddyTorgo]

Geez, the Pats are getting bette with the passing cohesion. that was a great change at the line by Brady.

yeah. first play of the game i got to watch (damm work).

looking forward to the night game tonight, seeing if DA BEARS can stand up to "the mighty seahawks offense" (imho overrated just slightly)

[Desnudo]

C. Johnson's mohawk is brilliant

[SirFozzie]

Holy shit, Tom Brady with a 25 yard run.. wow :)

[Desnudo]

Brady looking speedy

[st.cronin]

It's hard to win in the NFL without a field goal kicker. I wonder what made BB think he could.

[Desnudo]

To be fair, gostowkski had some bad luck. Now his confidence is probably horrible.

[st.cronin]

To be fair, gostowkski had some bad luck. Now his confidence is probably horrible.

I know. But at this point, Brandi Chastain would be a solid pick-up.

[Desnudo]

Next attempt has to be a chip shot from 20 or so, or his career will be over before it begins.

[Desnudo]

Rasta!

[st.cronin]

I want to change my title from "Coordinator" to "DoubleWing"!!!!!!!

[SirFozzie]

wow. that Bengal's gonna be a bit short in the paycheck next week

[Desnudo]

Wow, have to go there. Lewis just choked on his mike.

[SirFozzie]

Have to steal from SD:

Dat Maroney boy run so good..

[JeeberD]

I'm awfully glad I didn't sit Maroney this week...

[DaddyTorgo]

Maroney is fucking NASTY. And the changeup between him+Dillon is a great contrast. How bout that...approaching 200yds on the ground for the Pats through 3 quarters!

[Icy]

I'm awfully glad I didn't sit Maroney this week...

I decided to play him instead of Foster and i'm so glad i did :)

[Desnudo]

What happened on this drive? Stepped out after the Bengals punted.

[Ragone]

Yay.. lets go browns!

especially droughns.. frye.. or edwards.. who all i had to start in ffl this week :)

[Desnudo]

Come on Grwtowski!

[hoopsguy]

Next attempt has to be a chip shot from 20 or so, or his career will be over before it begins.

Mission accomplished.

[DaddyTorgo]

OMG...he made one!

[kingfc22]

That is a TD for the Browns.

[DaddyTorgo]

What happened on this drive? Stepped out after the Bengals punted.


Lawrence Maroney happened.

[Ragone]

Go frye go!

[SirFozzie]

What happened on this drive? Stepped out after the Bengals punted.

1st and 10 at NE 6 (3:00) C.Dillon right guard to NE 12 for 6 yards (C.Miller).
2nd and 4 at NE 12 (2:27) C.Dillon left tackle to NE 24 for 12 yards (M.Williams).
1st and 10 at NE 24 (1:44) T.Brady pass short middle to L.Maroney to NE 39 for 15 yards (C.Miller).
1st and 10 at NE 39 (1:06) L.Maroney right tackle pushed ob at CIN 20 for 41 yards (T.James).
1st and 10 at CIN 20 (:38) T.Brady pass to D.Graham pushed ob at CIN 9 for 11 yards (H.Jones). {H.Jones (CIN#44) injured on the play, P20 came off the field with assistance}
Then a Dillon run to the 6 and 2 INC

[Desnudo]

As long as Lewis chickens out with that offense on 4th and 2s, the Bengals have a problem.

[DaddyTorgo]

1st and 10 at NE 6 (3:00) C.Dillon right guard to NE 12 for 6 yards (C.Miller).
2nd and 4 at NE 12 (2:27) C.Dillon left tackle to NE 24 for 12 yards (M.Williams).
1st and 10 at NE 24 (1:44) T.Brady pass short middle to L.Maroney to NE 39 for 15 yards (C.Miller).
1st and 10 at NE 39 (1:06) L.Maroney right tackle pushed ob at CIN 20 for 41 yards (T.James).
1st and 10 at CIN 20 (:38) T.Brady pass to D.Graham pushed ob at CIN 9 for 11 yards (H.Jones). {H.Jones (CIN#44) injured on the play, P20 came off the field with assistance}
Then a Dillon run to the 6 and 2 INC

so maroney accounted for ~ 66% of the yards hmm?

[DeToxRox]

I'm sure not many people have the game but the Lions/Rams is a great game. 27-23 Detroit in the 3rd, lots of fun to watch.

[DaddyTorgo]

Jarvis Green strips Palmer and recovers. I smell Bengal-blood!

[DaddyTorgo]

Pats running game is nasty so far this year.

1st and Goal at the 1 yardline. Now 2nd and Goal at the 1.

[SirFozzie]

200 yards rushing for the Pats. wow

[DaddyTorgo]

200 yards rushing for the Pats. wow

i wouldn't mind seeing that every game this year. WTF was that shitty pass Brady. UGH

[DaddyTorgo]

i vote this is a good call by BB to go for it here.

TD DILLON!! CLOCK-KILLIN COREY DILLON WITH THE TD!

[DaddyTorgo]

i vote this is a good call by BB to go for it here.

TD DILLON!! CLOCK-KILLIN COREY DILLON WITH THE TD!

Dillon with the rare unsportsmanlike business...shovin in the face of Cincy fans i guess?

[SirFozzie]

Bengal Killin Corey Dillon..

And since when has throwin the ball into the stands excessive celebration?

Ok.. if THAT's what he was flagged for.. yeah. I agree :)

They better ban the Lambeau Leap next.

[Ragone]

throwing the ball into the stands when your are the visitor is considered such i imagine.. who knows?

[Desnudo]

They said "group celebration." Who was the "group," the fans?

[Desnudo]

You're kidding. What a joke some of these rules are.

[DaddyTorgo]

Palmer seems to have problems holding onto the ball *snicker*

[SirFozzie]

they showed on the replay a group celebration.. oh yeah, that's a 15 yarder..

and ouch, another fumble.

[McSweeny]

Bengals - Patriots game will be the semi-official changing of the guard from old dynasty to new regime in the AFC!

GO BENGALS!

indeed!

[Ragone]

4th and 1 at the cleveland 30.. and oakland goes for it.. and gets STUFFED!

[molson]

Damn, Pats making a statement today.

The running game is just unbelievable.

[Desnudo]

i wouldn't mind seeing that every game this year. WTF was that shitty pass Brady. UGH

That was one of the few complaints about Weiss, that the running game was on and off. I love watching this.

[SirFozzie]

what a catch by Williams for JAX

[SirFozzie]

and there's no one on the same side of the field as Graham.

The Bengals have just given up

[DaddyTorgo]

wide-open TD pass by Brady there.

BALLGAME...37-13 NE with < 8 mins. to go.

[Aylmar]

Damn, Pats making a statement today.

The running game is just unbelievable.

They're playing a terrible run defense. The Bengals front seven is atrocious. Still, the Pats look impressive beating them up.

[st.cronin]

Bengals - Patriots game will be the semi-official changing of the guard from old dynasty to new regime in the AFC!

GO BENGALS!

this post counts

[Ragone]

this post counts

Mlb called.. they want their all-star advertising gimmick back

[DaddyTorgo]

Carson Palmer...meet PB Sadium turf.

[DaddyTorgo]

dola

Bengals with more penalty yards against than rushing yards.

[biological warrior]

What is the fascination with Kurt Warner?

[Ragone]

why the hell is new england still throwing? thats kind of classless.. especially with the way they've ran the ball

[DaddyTorgo]

why the hell is new england still throwing? thats kind of classless.. especially with the way they've ran the ball

they're not throwing downfield...they're dink and dunk throws.

[Ragone]

Throwing is throwing

[st.cronin]

Considering the way Cincy has handled their running game, it would truly be classless to keep handing off. THAT would be rubbing it in.

[DeToxRox]

Throwing is throwing

Maybe in college or HS but these guys are paid. It's not running up the score, it's doing your job.

[jbmagic]

Throwing is throwing

They could do anything they want to do. The Bengals should of not put themselves in this situation today.

[Ragone]

Considering the way Cincy has handled their running game, it would truly be classless to keep handing off. THAT would be rubbing it in.

Ok now that, i can buy into :)

[JeeberD]

Come on Jags...

[Ragone]

Another wilkins Field goal! think my ffl team is up to 110 points now

[JeeberD]

Scobee tied up the game for the Jags with six seconds to go. Looks like OT for the Jags and Foreskins...

[Ragone]

Browns win!

[Ragone]

Rams moving to score again.. wow

[JeeberD]

Damn...Santana Moss just happened. :(

[Ragone]

I guess this wasn't the best week to bench old santana.. at least its not going to hurt me

[Rizon]

Some books Jacksonville needs to read:

Tackling and You
Pass Coverage for Dummies

[DeToxRox]

Lions/Rams is early Game of the Year

[DeToxRox]

Good job by the refs in St. Louis. I love the Lions but that is the right decision.

[TroyF]

Bengals laid an egg today. I think we'll see 3,000 stories this week about how the Patriots demise has been overrated. And I think they'll all be wrong. Thier big problems still remain. Brady was somehing like 2 of 9 on third down passes when it was still a game. The running game isn't going to generate 200+ yards every week. And they'll be lucky to have one playoff game where it does that. The passing game still desperately needs to get fixed.

Carson Palmer is playing some horrible football right now. The Steelers horrible turnovers helped overshadow how poorly he looked in the pocket. He's handling pressure pretty poorly right now.

[ISiddiqui]

Btw, the Skins are looking scary now that Saunders' offense is clicking.

[Joe]

Nice cleat rake by Haynesworth. That's a couple of games off, dick.

he should be suspended for the year at least. taking off gurode's helmet so he could do that is bullshit

[Coffee Warlord]

Go Bears!

[Subby]

Btw, the Skins are looking scary now that Saunders' offense is clicking.Word.

[Subby]

dola

Suck it, Jeeber. :D

Assuming that Gabriel and Jackson gel with Brady, where exactly is the weakness on offense? The timing will come. They are far from one dimensional. Of course the media will overreact, just as they did last week. But if the Pats avoid Denver in the playoffs, I think they could do some damage. I won't read too much into one victory, but since they are like 3-100 against Denver, I don't read too much into that loss either.

[Neuqua]

Wow, no mention about the Bears beatdown?

Just got back from the bars with a few friends. That was very impressive, Alexander or not.

[JeeberD]

dola

Suck it, Jeeber. :D

27-10

'Nuff said... :p

[wade moore]

dola

Suck it, Jeeber. :D

[Samdari]

What is the fascination with Kurt Warner?

On the rare occaisions he has held on to the ball for the entirety of his dropback, he has thrown the ball quite well this season. He is almost assuredly a better passer right now than Matt Leinart (and mind you, I have always been one of the most vocal in the Warner is overrated camp, and have a lot invested in Leinart in an efs (http://dynasty.efsports.com/efs/efsfa_index.jsp) league). But, at the rate Warner is laying the ball on the ground, the Cards simply cannot keep trotting him out there.

That said, I found it ironic that Leinart fumbled on his second NFL snap (with an unblocked DT reaching him roughly the same time as the ball).

[rkmsuf]

Bengal's gameplan and lack of adjustments were horrible. Their noninterest in running the ball and playing some smashmouth was amaturish. Rudi was running well but they insist on playing 100 miles an hour. They could have made a game of it but refused to run the ball.

More like the Cincy coaching staff isn't ready for prime time.

[Coffee Warlord]

Wow, no mention about the Bears beatdown?

Everyone is off buying their Super Bowl tickets for the soon to be 19-0 Bears campaign. :D

Everyone is off buying their Super Bowl tickets for the soon to be 19-0 Bears campaign. :D
No doubt.

[WSUCougar]

<--- Seahawks fan

The Bears looked unbeatable in that game. Un-frikking-beatable. That was a resounding, dominant, perfect win in virtually every facet of the game.

We sucked balls.

Passing of the torch?

[sterlingice]

The Bears looked truly sick. Probably more unbeatable than any other team will look at any time this season. That said, there are still a lot of weeks left for things to change.

SI

[dervack]

I don't know. I love Devin Hestor and what he could do with the return game, but yesterday was brutal. He looked lost out there. That being said, if the only thing I can complain about after yesterday's game was that, the Bears are in good shape.

[k0ruptr]

I think thats 238 straight weeks of madden announcing that hes compared a QB to brett favre

[k0ruptr]

dola - I learn somethin new every week, thats pretty sweet that Edgar Bennett is the RB coach for Green Bay.

[Logan]

Might be a better idea to just let him suit up.

[Lathum]

fuckin Buckhalter, thats what I get for taking the first half over...

[TazFTW]

Go Packers, beat them iggles.

[LionsFan10]

Well since there's no Monday night thread this week (strange), I guess I'll have to post my mini-rant here then.

What the fuck is it with these "fans" showing up at a game, paying a good ammount of money for decent/good seats and immediately getting on their cell phones and yammering the entire night? Everytime the camera's give us a shot of the crowd, there's at least four or five people in the shot on the their cell phones. Why bother shelling out all that cash to go sit in the seats if you're just going to be on your cell phone the entire game? Jeez, that shit is lame to me.

I don't know about any of you guys, but I'd be pretty upset if I were sitting next to some idiot who wanted to be on his phone the entire game ...

[bhlloy]

Has any cornerback in NFL history been burned as often as Ahmad Carroll? Seems like every time the Packers are on TV he gets beaten for long gains three times absolute minimum.

[Tigercat]

Ahmad Carroll was nothing but toast at Arkansas too, not to mention hes only 5-9. It was a joke that he was considered as high a draft choice as he was when he came out.

[sachmo71]

Has any cornerback in NFL history been burned as often as Ahmad Carroll? Seems like every time the Packers are on TV he gets beaten for long gains three times absolute minimum.

Larry Brown leaps to mind.

[Pumpy Tudors]

Whenever I think of a CB getting burned, I think of Elvis "Toast" Patterson.

[Coffee Warlord]

Weather. If it's a warm day, teams with dark colored home jerseys will wear the whites.

At least that's one reason (which was why the Bears were in the whites a couple weeks ago at home).

[Arctus]

Whenever I think of a CB getting burned, I think of Elvis "Toast" Patterson.


or Izel "Toast" Jenkins

[TazFTW]

He gone.
