No they don't. Every single one of them lack intelligence, souls, and the proper diet required to avoid Type 2 Diabetes.
This was particularly mindboggling considering Green Bay did such a good job of running along the LoS in their wildcard game against Adrian.

As that article mentioned, they didn't plan for SF to employ much of the read option.

Lions special teams coach asks out of his contract to go to Buffalo. This is in addition to them firing their WR, RB and offensive line coaches:

? The 3rd and 7 run was audibled to by Peyton. It wasn't Fox's decision.

I split the blame equally among Fox, Peyton and whoever that safety was that royally fucked up.

In hindsight it obviously didnt work out but that seems like a silly way to judge a GM. Eagles desperately needed help at CB and he went out and got the top guy available at the position. Of all the things to knock him for that one seems crazy to me. I think any GM in the NFL would have wanted to have a Nnamdi at the time.

Consequently you have to acknowledge that the Broncos had a good opportunity to win the game had Peyton not thrown that pass across his body, no? What happened, happened up to that point but the decision making there was astronomically bad for one of the greats to ever play the position.Talon said:
I'm still stunned at how Favre-esque it was. Copy and paste from the Minny/NO game.

Where is Peyton catching the brunt of the criticism? People are eating their own shit to deflect blame from Manning.
It was the SAME play, with similar results. Favre got lambasted for that decision, as should Peyton.
I honestly have no idea what the Niners are going to gameplan on offense for the Falcons, and I can't imagine trying to scheme for that; Nolan must have such a headache.
Two big differences between the Niners and Seahawks are we have a much, much better crafty and shifty RB for the option in LMJ, so we don't have to just rely on the bruiser style runner. And our TE's are far, far better at separation (no chance Atlanta allows VD to get the kind of absurd cushions Miller had).
So do they bring the safeties in more to allow the LB's to still stay at home to stop CK from running all over them? Or do they simply play more contain on the DL at the expense of pass rush? I really don't have a clue (hence why I'm not a coach), but it will interesting discussion with FalconsGAF this week.

In hindsight, Asomburnt should have stuffed himself into the clown car.

So fucking delusional.
edit: The Seattle home game was a blow out. But I think if you watched any game this season you would see the parity in this league and how you can get your ass handed to you at any time. I'm glad we lost that bad, I think it helped the team out. Also Seattle's home turf is the hardest place to play in this country in any sport. Its not shocking that they win most of their home games.

I will admit wussle is shiftier in the pocket and makes him difficult to bring down but I don't think he is a better passer. I can't think of one throw he made yesterday where I said wow what a throw

St Louis should not be in any West division, AFC or NFC.

Well this guy was responsible for Stefan Logan being the returner so I'm sure Lions fans are thrilled to see him go.

He's shaping up to be a good qb, and hell he might be better than Kap when all is said and done, but 10x times better? Come on now.
Also a 5'10" guy will always be shiftier than a 6'5" guy. I'm 6'4" and not shifty at all so at some point your height and weight come into play in regards to shiftiness.

Have Pats fans said that? Where? All I see right now is a Pats team on a very similar road as last year. Beat up a weak-ass AFC East, beat a few good teams in the regular season at home, got a bye week, and then beat the shit out of a fraud team for the right to play Baltimore at home again to get to a SB.

Agreed. And I don't think he can make all the throws on a consistent basis. He scrambles around until he finds someone open and he is very good at that
This is true. We beat an undefeated 8-0 Atlanta team that was red hot and then later got pasted by them in their house. you never know which team will show up to any game and want it more.

Don't judge him on just yesterday obviously. And to the other poster I already said the 10x was hyperbole but I still think he is better. And why does it matter why he is shiftier If he is indeed shiftier? He may lack height but he plays with his height extremely well.

So far I've only seen people say that they think this game will be just what you said. Exactly like the previous 2 encounters with the Ravens. Sucks so much that we lost Gronk again. Go hates us, Satan isn't helping us enough.

It's true though. Russell Wilson is a thousand times better than Kaepershit. He's the more complete player. QBs that put such reliance in their running abilities will always struggle in the long run once tape of said players begin to build up, and defenses are able to appropriately game plan against them. Kaepershit is more of a north/south runner with a mediocre to average arm, while Russell Wilson is a shifty/quick runner with an accurate and able arm. You take away Kaepershit's running lanes, forcing him to beat you with his arm, and he'll fold under pressure. Wilson under the same situation would be much more successful IMO.

Atlanta's defense was playing the contain/spy a ton. It allowed Miller and others to get behind the linebackers and before the safeties.
kap is a similar QB and I'm sure we will employ a similar defensive gameplan... We are toast. VD is potentially a greater threat than Miller is and Moss and Crabs are better receivers.
Ryan and the offense needs to produce points and not get complacent. We need to put up 30 to win as our defense will give up 21-28 easy.
I will go into cardiac arrest before the game is over for sure.

I love Peyton, even switched teams to cheer him on. He'll likely always be my favorite player. I don't blame him for the tipped INT, or even the tuck fumble. But that last throw was horrendous. No excuse for it and it put the Ravens right in FG position to win the game.
The runs at the end of the game were dumb, IMO, but I at least get the mindset. You do that to run off the clock as much as possible (go down to 1:20-30 left instead of 2 min left) before punting and leaving it up to your D to essentially have 8 DBs cover far downfield. It even looked like they only rushed 3 and kept everyone back, but how do you not have some players waaaay back. Moore should have already been there when that ball was coming down, not trying to get into position. Just ridiculous.
And funny enough, when Prater missed that FG, I said to my gf: 'this would be awful if that FG determined the game'. I didn't think it was going to come down to that, but you can't leave any points on the field...

What's the deal with Joe Staley? Kept hearing buck and aikman talk about how banged up he was.
Barely having a 50% completion rating when the the opposing defense has to overcompensate for the run because of their inability to stop the run?
Bad bruise
I think we should have an extra cornerback standing right behind one of the other two. Maybe the refs will not see them.
Actually, ball control, field position, and killing the clock are the keys. Put the 49ers in a position to play catch up all the time. Maybe bring one safety up close to pick up players coming out of the back field or one of the TE's.
Asante Samuel could probably be one on one but Dunta Robinson needs help all the time. I would take a chance and use a safety in place of Dunta and let him be a third cornerback.
The DL will play contain like they did against Seattle. Holding Lynch to under 70 yards helped us quite a bit.
Tabris alt?

I'm not talking about stats. I'm talking about from purely watching them both. They're both really good quarterbacks, but I didn't discern a huge dropoff in quality from Kap to Wilson. If I had to pick one, I'd take Wilson simply because he appears to be much more intelligent. Everyone time Kap talks I'm reminded of frat boys.

Maybe you should get out of the Bay Area before the 49ers, like the Giants, win the chip this year.
Who thinks any different?
And I'm talking about the history of the NFL. QBs who can scramble/run to create passing plays and stand in the pocket and throw accurately when needed will always be infinitely more successful than those who are over reliant on their ability to run.

How dare you sir!
I appreciate Tabris' devotion to the Manning clan. That said, we apologize for his behavior. We didn't know he was going to do that. He didn't mention it at any of the meetings.
