The Ravens can be had.
he said some sugar I think.
He's pretty great in pass pro but the guy can't run block. When they went his way the ball went nowhere two weeks in a row, common theme the last couple of years. It's pretty frustrating when you have a guy like Richardson and can't churn yards behind your All Pro tackle.
That's the Dick Jauron way. He's taking your D out for ice cream sundaes as we speak.

We did (Josh Gordon). And Colt McCoy wouldnt have made quite a few of those throws tonight. Weeden has had 2 games this year out of 4 that were better than any of Colt McCoys games, ever.

Cant really put this on the D. They're without their best player, got pressure, held Rice in check.
Yep. Weeden has gone for over 300 yards twice in 4 games, McCoy has gone for over 300 yards once in his career.
The schedule will keep them from winning more than 5, but they'll be competitive in most games because of the D and Weeden.
They played a good game but couldn't get the stop when they needed it. Which is something I saw all too often when he was head coach.

He is terrible but UT fans can't get off his jock strap...
As a result, you have countless delusional Colt McCoy fans.
This. They finally showed a bit of creativity by rolling Weeden out, but Richardson was horribly under/misutilized.
Some diversity in playcalling would be much appreciated.

Peyton Hillis and Jamal Lewis were churning out the yards behind Thomas. I agree that Thomas is a much better pass blocker than a run blocker though. When healthy Thomas is still elite in my opinion.

seahawks field must be magical, washington upset Stanford
That or Stanford just isn't that good.

That Stanford receiver who dropped that long ball will probably be drafted by the Browns.

Weeden played pretty good from these highlights, that taint was costly.
They should have been running the ball there anyway.

yea weeden throwing the ball 50 times is not going to win games. Give some more love to richardson. wierd running game on both sides
game finished before midnight.
I'm not a big Colt McCoy fan and I have no college affiliation at all, but I think terrible is awfully strong... I think he played moderately well for Cleveland and there are probably a few teams with situations where he could challenge for the starting job:
Oakland
Buffalo
NY Jets
Jacksonville
-----
KC?
Miami?
Arizona?
Tampa?
I think he's pretty average in a lot of ways, but he seems to have a degree of composure that's lacking in a lot of non-elite NFL QBs.
So much of it is just administration. With the fake refs you never really knew if they would stick to what they threw a flag for and if they were sure of it. With the real ones, it's sort of "that's the call, deal with it"
Never really appreciated that aspect of it

I watched the last 3 minutes. Nice throw, old man.
Has to be a WC off. He doesn't have the arm to make all the nlf throws. That being said his are maybe at Chad Pennington's Level if not just slightly above.
They also had Steinbach who still had something in the tank. Need a guard who can really maul inside.

What? Palmer is playing pretty good this year. I think McCoy would even have trouble challenging Pryor for 3rd string.

Wonder if the late games will still be slightly delayed.

Colt could do good in Miami

Does anyone else kind of feel bad for the replacement refs? Granted they were out of their league, but they took a paying job and for the most part I think tried their best, they were just out of their element.

you can feel bad for the refs but at the sametime say they did a shitty job
I don't.
They were strikebreakers that knew they were not good enough to do the job and didn't take any pride in trying to do it well.
They also got payed well to work a part time gig.
I already said they did the best that they could.
It just wasnt good enough for such a high dollar product.
Scabs.

how are they "strike breakers"? They were not part of the ref union. If the players went on strike and the NFL asked me to play you goddamn right I would say yes, suck fucking ass on national TV, collect a pay check, and feel ZERO sympathy for a union of players who I have no allegiance to.

I do. (Granted my team never got shafted by them)
They were generally not even that bad, but pressure and criticism is something that naturally comes with the profession of sports officiating. The normal refs are used to this, but unfortunately for them, the replacement refs weren't. When people have so much emotional, time, and financial investment in their sports team succeeding, they're going to attack the first thing they can find when they fail. The scab refs just made an easy target.

Feel bad for scab workers? Yeah no.
seriously.
i feel bad that aldon smith was held on pretty much every play and it was never called.

As opposed to feeling bad for guys that wanted pensions for part time jobs?
