I didn't know you were high on him? He runs well and can throw a slant route or a TE curl really well. I'd like to see him push the ball down the field more, but we don't really have the weapons for that.

Mn Eagles Steelers is going to be crazy. I doubt either D can stop the other teams offense. The over for the game will need to be like 80. I wish the real refs would come out and talk more about the missed calls and all the problems there have been. It is clear that the coaches are not allowed to talk about the scabs. There was a play in the Eagles game where they sacked Kolb for a 9 yard loss on 2nd down, but there was also a holding call against the Cards, and it was clear that Reid wanted to decline the penalty and make it 3rd down but the ref didnt know you could do that. They had 2 conferences about it and they wound up making the Eagles take the penalty. Eventually one of these situations is going to cost a team a game.

Schwartz gave them one flukey trip to the play-offs. He'll need to lead them back to the depths of 0-16 depravity before he's fired.
I thought the Eagles had a decent defense? Steelers defense has been garbage. Coaches might use injuries as an excuse but we should be full strength on D against the birds so that excuse is no longer an option, we will see if that was the problem or if we just suck balls.
I will say that if Harrison comes back turns around the D he should be considered for another DPOY considering how bad we have looked so far. I think we were the only team to make Palmer and Peyton look good. I hope we are not the first team to make Vick look like he can take care of the ball.

Kyle Shanahan Chases Refs Down Tunnel, Cursing At Them
Kyle Shanahan is the offensive coordinator for the Washington Redskins. Yesterday the Redskins lost at home to the Cincinnati Bengals, 38-31. On the Redskins’ final, failed drive Shanahan was flagged for unsportsmanlike conduct following an argument with a referee during a chaotic sequence. When the game ended, Kyle Shanahan ran after the referees down the tunnel saying mean things to them.
Some ESPN Twitter account said:
This. Is. Incredible. These referees are completely overwhelmed. Assuming they aren’t fixing games for their favorite teams, they’re probably just trying to do the best they can to not be murdered by unhappy players. Now they’ve got head coaches grabbing them and offensive coordinators questioning their manhood.
No respect, whatsoever. It really is the substitute teacher-syndrom.
Oh the days when the Eagles had an impenetrable defense...when was that, like 2 days ago right?

I hope the refs come out next week and just toss players and coaches out of the game by the boatload. Sure it could be devastating for the "integrity of the game" or whatever but it sure would be entertaining. And honestly I think some of these coaches deserve it.
I vaguely remember that. I'll give you credit for it, but I just assumed you said that because Cam Newton was black.
Percy's okay at it, but he's not a traditional deep threat. He's short, and isn't going to make an acrobatic Julio Jones type catch. His biggest strength is getting the ball in space and making people miss or lowering his shoulder. Nobody wants to try to take Percy down in the flats.
He's our Tim Tebow.
Bullshit chant, don't know if it's been posted yet.

Lesson of the day:
Never play a team who has a player who lost someone.
Never play a team who has a player who lost someone.
Yup. Here are my balls fucker, fifteen yards every time you open your fucking mouth. Next year ill be back in high school games but you'll be relegated to QB coaching joke bums like Freeman because you just cost yor garbage team this game. Suck me off, have another 15. Respect this.

That seems a bit extreme, but for instance in the Pats game yesterday, on like the 3rd play Mankins and Lewis were going at it already after the play was over, with that continuing the entire game, but they never called a flag for it.
I have to go to court in a sec but man our defense is bad. Ben has 900 yards, 8 TDs, 1 INT through 3 games and we are 1-2. I miss the days when our offense stank for 3.5 quarters and Ben would put together one good series for the come from behind win.
Bring the D back Tomlin!

You should be a ref, I'd pay to see that. Ideally, you call Jets vs. Pats and they finish with 3rd string linemen as RBs and QBs.

They just need to make an example out of a few guys to shut everyone up. I've seen at least 2 or 3 different instances where a guy probably would have gotten thrown out of a game by the regular refs.
This is how I feel about college football, being a Hokies fan and all.

I cant even blame the refs though.That loss is on the defense.If they catch those interceptions they win.
If defensive backs could catch they'd be wide receivers
I haven't heard anyone blame the refs. To me that would be laughable. No one benefitted from the poorly called game. Maybe that's why I don't mind these guys. While generally incompetent at least they don't blatantly favor one team (coming from a guy whose team has been favored to two plus years!)

It's a great tactic if you're a great player and want to improve your chances of getting drafted by a better team. Did wonders for Hernandez as well. You'll compensate the money with your second contract.

Joe Flacco wanted to play catch with Arrington on that final drive. Except Arrington fell down.
Bill should have drafted a punter as his star db
there are no expectations of your team. Cutler and Cam got propped up in the offseason, so their fall was good fun. Most people feel sorry for your team and its fans. I'll be here when SEA repeatedly violates Bradford in a couple of weeks
So much of the problem is the lack of a clear it villain anymore since Favre retired so there's a lot of misdirected energy as the league transitions to the new guard. It's just easy to default to the low hanging fruit of known cheaters like the Pats or the now irrelevant Saints who thankfully vindicated Gregg Williams' "cut off the head." comment.
It's really all we have anymore until some new evil rises. We used to have other standbys like the Steelers but they're rebuilding and struggling to get the average age of their defense under 35 with their future drafts. The Packers? Rodgers just hasn't been the same since Tramon hurt himself last year and Finley is no doubt helping fix games with some of his on the field decisions. There's the Jets but even then it's only relegated to Sanchez. If our pleas to free a young stud like Mark Brunell went unheeded, what hope do we have for Tebow? Flacco? Pretty sure we can all agree he proved himself after nailing that game winning FG last night. Surely only something truly just could incense the dark lord like it did. We're just left with fat jokes about next years starting UFL QBs, cheating teams, and Cutler jokes that write themselves.
It's a new era as perennial losers like the Texans, Colts, and Vikings establish themselves. Andrew Luck is a standup guy that's going to be around here during the bye to help raise a barn, Christian Ponder beat the best team in the NFL, and the Texans earned true respect at last for defeating a completely healthy Peyton Manning at home for the first time.
It's just something for everyone to endure until a team needs a veteran QB in the middle of the season and a phone rings somewhere in Mississippi.

The defense played ok up until the 4th I thought.That stop on 4th down was huge.Them not scoring after that is what changed the game imo.
Alternatively, get a better secondary when yours can't stop a guy half-assing routes with a tunnel vision QB continuously throwing into double coverage.
It's not like he's a defensive coach or anything. Also, I can't believe he threw Shaun Hill under the bus. What a dirtbag.

No one claimed it was impenetrable but it is vastly improved thi year. I understand why a Panthers fan wouldnt understand defensive improvement though, it has been a long time since they have seen it. The Steelers offense is a terrible matchup for the Eagles D, the main ting they do well is pressure QBs into mistakes. Ben is so big that he just shurgs off defenders like they are nothing, and the Steelers have a great WR corps who will be able to get open against the Eagles DBs.
Yeah you never ear coaches blame the players but he totally did. He needs to fix that shit cause he will lose the locker room quick doing shit like that.

They had 3 straight TD drives in the 2nd and 3rd quarters where we getting chewed up by Ray Rice.

Nah, I think the other 3 teams are just average and inconsistent. I think the NFC South, AFC South, and AFC West are worse.

I cant even explain what happened.I thought they improved.
Lol, I would have maybe agreed with you on the Jets but without Revis they are gutter trash. Buffalo might surprise people and win 6 but they aren't good. Miami is dog shit, they are dog shit that was eaten and vomited up by a cancerous rabid dog if Bush is seriously hurt.
If the Pats secondary figures out that they too have hands and can catch the ball, look out league.
