NFL Week 10

stevew · 11-09-2010, 10:48 PM

Ravens vs Falcons play on thursday. Of course, quite a few people can't watch this.

Steelers/Pats should be a good one.

stevew · 11-09-2010, 11:27 PM

Peyton Hillis is like a piece of iron, btw. Who was the last caucasian to top 1000 yards? Riggins?

Merrill Hoge, maybe.

Never mind, he never really got close to that.

Craig James in 1985 according to google.

BishopMVP · 11-09-2010, 11:50 PM

Mike Alstott got close with 846/949 in 1998 and 1999 (and didn't have an entitled PoS son - that I know of at least.)

NorvTurnerOverdrive · 11-09-2010, 11:52 PM

bishop beat me to it.

if woodhead got a fair shake i'm sure he could crack 1k.

No way Woodhead could handle that many carries needed to hit 1K.

stevew · 11-10-2010, 12:06 AM

Who is Craig James?

that's an opinion. warrick dunn played for a decade.

i think there's a stigma attached to white rb's coming out of hs. a recruiter will look at a white rb and want him to switch to lb or safety.

how about white db's? when's the last time you saw one of those? jason sehorn. that's it.

Suburban Rhythm · 11-10-2010, 09:45 AM

Max Starks to IR. Yuck.

spleen1015 · 11-10-2010, 10:07 AM

I was lucky enough to grab Hillis in 3 of 4 fantasy leagues.

I am a genius.

Is there any evidence that small running backs get injured more often than large running backs? Wouldn't physics indicate the opposite? A squirrel can fall 30 feet out of a tree onto pavement and run away like nothing happened. Danny Woodhead is somewhat bigger than a squirrel, yes, but you'd think smaller, quicker guys might have some advantages.

JPhillips · 11-10-2010, 11:19 AM

My Hyundai would not stand up well to a Hummer.

If they both ran into a brick wall though, there would be much more impact on the Hummer. Assuming they're going the same speed, and not accounting for safety features, etc. Just looking at the size and weight of both.

Honolulu_Blue · 11-10-2010, 11:29 AM

The Lions play Buffalo this week. Drew Stanton will be their starting QB. Zac Robsinon, signed today, could be the #2.

Like last year wehn they faced the Rams, the Lions will give Buffalo their first win of the season and, once again, will ensure that they remain the only 0-16 team in the history of the league for at least one more year.

Awesome!

fantom1979 · 11-11-2010, 09:44 PM

Looks like the Lions pieced together Shaun Hill and he is going to get the start:

RedKingGold · 11-11-2010, 10:43 PM

It's his first game after a long layoff, however, Ed Reed does not look like the same player he was last year.

It's surprising, since the NFL is, in all other aspects, so great at marketing and packaging their product. Their NFL Films division, for example, is fantastic. But when it comes to a live broadcast of their own product, I find the NFL really, really lacking.

I still find this to be true.

The production value of this game sucks.

The volume of the announcers is way too loud and the volume of the on-filed action and crowd is too low. Something is off there.

You throw Millen and Theisman into the mix and the game is almost unwatchable.

Get it together, NFL. Seriously.

Yes the announcers are terrible. Just awful insight.

JonInMiddleGA · 11-11-2010, 11:34 PM

I'm just glad I left Roddy White in my fantasy lineup despite the questionable knee.

ISiddiqui · 11-11-2010, 11:38 PM

Holy crap, Matt Ryan... earning the Matty Ice nickname.

panerd · 11-11-2010, 11:38 PM

"That will cost them a timeout" No shit, this isn't college football jackoff the clock continues to run.

I am less thrilled with the fact that my opponent has Roddy White.

Tigercat · 11-11-2010, 11:42 PM

Baltimore obviously calls a timeout, as the clock stopped. Millen's response to the injury on the field post clock stoppage: "That will cost them a timeout." And then Millen calls for a time runoff on a penalty, again even though the clock wasn't running when the penalty happened.

He is as big an idiot on camera as he was before the Lions hired him. Still can't believe how many NFL "experts" claimed it was a good hire back then.

I didn't know whether to put this in the "lock of the week" thread or what, but...holy crap is Theismann as bad as ever. I mean, announcers usually don't ruin a game for me, and I hardly watched much of the game last night at all, but in the bits and pieces I saw, he clearly wrong on just about every call or opinion he made - placement of the ball on the Ryan slide and the lack of a penalty; the catch on the sideline that was reviewed during Atlanta's last TD drive; the "they didn't score too soon" comment; and then there was another one in the 1st half, I think, where he said something like, "They'll definitely run the ball here," and it was a pass. Just an absolute buffoon.

And of course, Matt MIllen is from the Madden/Maguire school of analysis - "Watch this RIGHT HERE!" Thanks, Millen. Perhaps you could be a seeing eye dog for the rest of your life and spare us from having to listen to you (full disclosure - I'm a native Michigander).

RainMaker · 11-12-2010, 08:00 AM

Yeah, I'm really disappointed in the NFL Network's game crew. They do such a good job with their other shows that I don't get how they dropped the ball so hard here.

Greyroofoo · 11-12-2010, 12:50 PM

During broadcasts, Millen should be required to wear a shirt that says "31-81"

Lathum · 11-12-2010, 05:02 PM

Steve Smith out for the Giants against the Cowboys Sunday. Not sure it matters much since the game will be won with out pass rush putting pressure on Kitna but I am curious to see how Eli does without his possession guy.

Sun Tzu · 11-12-2010, 05:15 PM

Glad I picked up Manningham for this weeks game then.

Greyroofoo · 11-14-2010, 01:15 PM

How does Chad Pennington manage to get injured so quickly?

Greyroofoo · 11-14-2010, 01:21 PM

On a related note it's nice to see the Colts have enough healthy players to field a team.

Coffee Warlord · 11-14-2010, 01:24 PM

Gasp. Hester is returning kicks again (not just punts).

And doing pretty decent.

DaddyTorgo · 11-14-2010, 01:27 PM

Cutler getting started early today (although that was 100% not his fault)

McSweeny · 11-14-2010, 01:33 PM

I'm really starting to like this Browns team.

DaddyTorgo · 11-14-2010, 01:38 PM

Why does TD-Toby have to play with Favre? Means I can't like him till Favre retires...

Sun Tzu · 11-14-2010, 02:16 PM

My fantasy week so far...

*Turns Colts/Bengals game on*

"Hey, the Colts have already scored two TD's and I have Peyton Manning!"

*checks fantasy team*

"Four points?!? Stupid rushing TD's"

Thomkal · 11-14-2010, 02:29 PM

Almost at the half, no catches for Randy Moss so far.

Greyroofoo · 11-14-2010, 02:37 PM

He also got shaken up on a play too.

Thomkal · 11-14-2010, 02:38 PM

Kerry Collins limping off the field at the half-Vince Young could be back in

Thomkal · 11-14-2010, 02:59 PM

Vince Young starts the half-Collins out with an injured half

Thomkal · 11-14-2010, 03:00 PM

...and promptly fumbles the ball away

Sun Tzu · 11-14-2010, 03:00 PM

Well, as we have discussed in past threads, it doesn't matter how many catches Randy Moss has, what matters most is how many catches everyone else has thanks to the primal fear he strikes in opposing defenses.

Thomkal · 11-14-2010, 03:03 PM

...and Miami promptly scores a TD a couple plays later

Neuqua · 11-14-2010, 03:09 PM

Why do teams still kick to Devin Hester?
