NFL Week 11 |OT| Turn Your Head and Cough
- Thread starter Buckethead
- Start date
Not just any ol' Jags, though. With Henne at the helm that offense is a force to be reckoned with.
You're probably joking but some of the throws he made in the first 3 quarters were legit. And then he went back to his usual self in the 4th and OT.

This madness must stop
They were shitty with Vick anyways, and it was Foles first start.It's a quarterback league.
Look at the Eagles and Vick. They were doing poor with Vick and once he was gone Foles shit the bed up.
They're freefalling, just awaiting until Reid is fired and Vick is cut.

You're right, but Foles is trash. They're not going anywhere with him.

I'm mostly joking but during his time with the Dolphins he definitely had his moments. He's got some talent but he's severely lacking in consistency. All things considered I don't think this game means a lot, the Texans D is still fantastic in my opinion.You're probably joking but some of the throws he made in the first 3 quarters were legit. And then he went back to his usual self in the 4th and OT.
They'll probably sign somebody to challenge him in camp but he'll eventually be the starter. Gruden loves his football players.You're right, but Foles is trash. They're not going anywhere with him.

3-1 with wins over the Giants and Ravens, but losing Kelce just destroyed the offense. The only game they have won since he got hurt was the Giants game. Every other team was smart enough to blitz up the middle. Foles is complete garbage though. Yesterday was the worst I have even seen an Eagles QB play. He is scared, he holds on to the ball, his accuracy is awful, and he forces throws into coverage constantly. Guy has 0 football instincts. He will be out of the NFL in 2 years. I actually wouldnt be surprised if Vick comes back for another year and they grab a new QB after next season since no QBS are coming out this year.
It's a quarterback league.
If:
Rodgers
Brees
Eli
Roethlisberger
Brady
Peyton
go out all of their teams are fucked too.

Nah, the backups in New England and New Orleans could step in. Those are systems with talent that has been in place long enough to carry a QB as long as the QB also knows the system. Would they miss a beat or two? Sure, but they'd still function.
The rest? Not a chance. Eli, Rodgers, etc. will those offenses to points.
The Jets played single high or zero safeties deep about 90% of the game. They zone blitzed the whole game and the Rams were clueless. Bradford couldn't have looked more lost. By the end he just stared down Amendola, who the Jets were taking away. Really pathetic. Either the other WRs weren't getting open or he doesn't think they can. Fisher gave him the death stare at the end. Was pretty funny. He's so fucked as a coach b/c he's stuck with him another year

Played our worst game of the season and still came out with a W. I'm not thrilled but I'll take it. A lot of teams won yesterday that didn't deserve to do so.

Which QB is a bigger loss for their team? Smith for the Niners or Cutler for the Bears?

Mallet would be nowhere near as effective as Brady.

Cutler for sure. Jcamp is terrible, where Kap can be better then small hands in a lot of ways.

Cards are in the NFC South now?
So Aaron, buddy, you wanna come back? I know you're a different player than Gronk but I can't think that Shiancoe has ANYTHING left and Fells has been a disappointment the few times I've seen him involved in the passing game.
Mallet has a big arm but I doubt he's anywhere close to Brady in terms of accuracy. And most of the Pats throws are more about accuracy than anything else, they don't throw the ball down the field a ton.

The wins were by two points over NYG (what an awful loss that turned out to be), and one point each over BAL and the Browns in their first game with rookies at QB and RB.
I think the point is that the Eagles were able to win when Vick had at least a competent O-line in front of him.
The O-line went down and that whole offense went to shit.

Right, but the offense woul still be able to function.

Did you not watch the game?Packers have the same problem they had last year. Whole team relies on one player. If Rodgers is off, the rest of the team sucks so bad they're hopeless.

Exactly. Early on they were winning close games, after they lost Kelce they started to lose close games, and now without Watkins and Herrimans they arnt even competitive. They were not going to win a SB or anything but they could have at least been in the running for a playoff spot if not for the OL problems this year.

I don't see how a Falcons fan can crow about things at this point. They've looked mediocre these past few weeks.

Then will you score just a safety or take a pounding at home in your first playoff game?

Losing Gronk will hurt but I think if Chandler Jones is significantly hurt that injury will be worse.
I'll take it, would be great if he's back for MNF.Gronk had surgery this morning and Schefter says he should miss a few weeks.
Did you not watch the game?
Rodgers has been poor for at least portions of every game this year (aside from Houston) which is why the Packers are 1-8.

Nothing the Falcons do matters until the playoffs. As long as they get to play at home they just need to stay healthy. They've proven all they need to as far as the regular season is concerned
I'm just hoping we get Sean Weatherspoon back this week. We'll need him to help stop Doug Martin.

Because it isnt college. No one cares about style points in the NFL, as long as they keep winning that is all that matters.

That's likely true at this point, but until you win a playoff game no one is going to take you seriously.
Cowardly needs to erase that "2 points" moniker. Will this be the year?

Right. Look at the Ravens. Worst 8-2 team in the history of the NFL, but gonna win the division.
Then get massacred in their first playoff game, God willing.

I dunno, if they get home field they're gonna be really dangerous.

Gotta disagree. There's a high correlation with MOV and winning %

Seems like a great time to trade Finley to the Patriots.

Of all of the potential playoff teams the one I'm the most curious about is the Broncos. I really don't know what to expect from them come playoff time.

I hope so. Nothing can be done about it until January though so why worry about that yet.
So in back to back weeks the Texans showed they could beat the sorry Bears in the elements and win a low scoring game. And then the next week slang it around and put up crazy numbers in the passing game.
The Texans secondary was so bad yesterday. It was like they decided as a collective group to take the day off. To be fair...they were facing Gabbert. Until Henne da God came in and started slanging like Brees. Really think that caught them off guard how competent he was (in comparison to Gabbert). Then those long TD passes by Gator's Jags could have been stopped, but instead piss poor tackling makes the completion far better than it should be. Really thought they were going to tie or get a L. After showing the Bears that they do in fact suck, and facing the Lions on Turkey day, this was a perfect trap game. They'll probably lose tho on Thursday...that game took way too much out of them.
On the other side it was good to see the Texans slang it around. They have not been down like that all season so to see them open it up was refreshing. Schaub with 527 yards and 5 TDs was sweet. Same with AJ's 273 yards. If this was done by a team on the east coast ESPN and all other networks would be mentioning it like crazy.
Also: Fire the Special Teams coach
Karma. Get some. Bears 2.0 coming for you Dec 10th.
I know folks want the Texans to do good on Thanksgiving, but next week against the Titans is more important. Win against Titans, One win against the Colts, and HOPEFULLY a win against the PATRIOTS, and it's probably good enough for a 1st/2nd seed at 13-3.
Game was crazy. I think most teams would have just conceded it wasn't their day and threw in the towel. Gotta give it up to the Team for refusing to lose.

On the Thursday game I completely agree. Basically played 5 tough,physical quarters yesterday after that Bears game. They are going to be exhausted come Thursday and I dont see them playing all that well. The Titan game the following Sunday is more important anyway. Conference vs non.
As for December 10th: been saying since preseason that there are games that this team was looking at: Broncos (beat Peyton), Ravens (show they can beat them) and Patriots. They want to send a message that they are for real. Could be division clinching game.

I think our next 2 games (@ Bucs, vs Saints) are the biggest of the season. We can lock up the division if we win those two.

It's going to suck for about 3-5 years but I'm glad Reid is leaving. I hope they tank for Barkley. Or somebody. Gaf, help me. Who should the Eagles tank for? Beside not-reid.
