Seriously the most depressing news to come out of any game this year.
Not a Jellyfish
but I am a sheep
Matt Simms future begins.
Going to be a long year. I actually think NFL fans might get treated to something worse than the butt fumble.
Tampa is in trouble. Book on Freeman is clearly to send lots of rushers at him. All the sacks he took, MIA was sending 6-7 guys and he just holds it. Can't really blame all of it on the offensive line. It's what STL did to him last year and he just gets flustered. That fumble with no one around him was brutal. idk. Bad scene
Really impressed with Tanny. Phins fans will happy with that pick for the next decade. He doesn't get scared and is accurate in to tight windows. Going to be the biggest year over year improvement in the league

WTF!!! Every fucking pre-season we lose a starting OL for the season lately. Out of everyone it had to be our savior. It's hard to type I'm so angry right now Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu! We were starting to actually look like we had pass protection, now we're back to shit OL again, fuck! Mendy, Dan Williams, and Housler injured on top of that. God it's frustrating losing a key piece before the season even begins. I was really excited to watch Cooper play

One of my first thoughts. Somehow I think we'll still be too good but maybe we can get one of the stud QB prospects to groom under Palmer the remainder of his contract. Just package picks for Bridgewater! Well, if he's still the shit come draft time.

You know, this really fucking sucks.
Lets just pray to god the O line can somehow protect Carson better then they did this game. It was ugly to begin with. I'm now borderline nervous.

They were finally doing a decent job in run blocking tonight. I suppose both tackles are better than what we started with last year and whoever wins RG will be better than Snyder but Cooper was a real difference maker and it's saddening to see him out. OAK's OL isn't very good either so maybe Palmer will endure, I guess we'll see.

You know, maybe the chargers defensive line is THAT good. That's another possibility. I give them credit tonight.

Don't ever change!!! This pre season can't get much worse now though, even Carson has looked average the last 2 games.
That actually made me laugh!
The Lions are reportedly shopping around for a wide receiver.
None too surprising since only Matt Willis has done anything as a receiver during preseason. And that was against backups. Broyles has been slowed during camp while recovering, Patrick Edwards has great practices and then disappears during games. Nate looked strong during workouts but has been invisible since. No one else has really made an impact. Curious what the team is hoping to trade for a wide receiver who can start. Kickalicious? Akers? LeShoure or Bell?

That show had so many great moments. The real world parody, Wu-Tang financial, anything with Charlie Murphy, Wayne Brady acting tough, it was definitely my favorite show in that genre ever. I really tire of how any time something gets popular people online have to shit on it. I have never seen it IRL, but you see it all the time online.
Yes! YESSS!!!
Yesterday for some reason was just filled with ridiculousness from my friends; some excerpts:
Them: Eli Manning was 8 for 20, not good...
Me: So what? It's Eli Manning and it's fucking preseason
Them: Yeah but who knows man?
Me: I do, he's fine barring some injury this year.
Them: So what if CJ Spiller gets more touches it doesn't mean Fred Jackson won't do better than him.
Me: Do you even know what Spiller's stats were last year?
Them: Doesn't matter him and Fred are going to split carries 50/50.

Not since the IV. when I wrote my last post I wrote of Jarvis' injury and him being winded. Hope it's not more than that.

They need a compliment to Calvin for sure. He is the only receiving threat that can go over top. Dropsigrew, Broyles, and Nate are all short yardage guys. Scheffler is Jekyll and Hyde. It was encouraging to see the TE Fauria go down the sideline on that TD pass from Kellen Moore against the pats, though. But I'm just afraid they get desperate and do another Mike Thomas style trade.
But what does it matter? Reggie Bush is the messiah and will propel Detroit to 1000 wins this year
I'm of two thoughts on Carson Palmer
1. Isn't afraid to put the ball up and let his WRs go win 50/50 balls, which they are good at doing
but
2. Leads his WRs into kill shots from streaking DBs
He went to the hospital last night for the chest injury
Ah okay I hadn't read anything else. Saw the short cuts of the PITT game. Ben is still Ben, down to brutal shot on Dwyer TD

Yeah, after that they put him on IV drip. Nothing since.

Saw that he had some sort of chest injury.
We lost to the Chefs. Yes, it's pre-season. We know we're going to suck this year, but at this point I'm wondering whether we ought to just go balls out and suck for Clowney.
And that was like the first episode!
And fuck pancakes are so good. Wish I could be a fat slob like Freeballin and just eat a ton of pancakes every day.

Man I feel bad for Rex Ryan. He seems so beaten down. He used to be great with the media but now it looks like such a fight for him. The Jets really should have just fired him. If they start out 0-4 it is just going to be brutal.

We were actually pretty good at pass protection last year, I think we were rated like 4th in least sacks given. Carson does make his reads really quick and gets rid of the ball fast so that should help.
Except that Arians is going to call All Go Special at least five times a game.

Pretty happy with the Dolphins performance last night other than the punt return team. Starting defense looks great against the run, and the d-line is getting consistent pressure on the QB on passing downs. The secondary even looks good for once, other than some bad penalties (applies to the whole team, really).
On offense I'm feeling good about Lamar Miller, he's explosive and he's more of a north-south runner than Bush which is great. I'm still a little concerned about his durability and ability to contribute in the red zone but overall I'm liking what I've seen. Oh yeah, his pass blocking has looked improved this preseason as well. I still think Daniel Thomas has a place on this team as a short yardage back but Miller is clearly the guy with the greater upside.
WR's look good. Hartline is still running curls like a champ, and Gibson seems to be fitting into the slot role very well, minus his drop issues. Wallace has looked good running an assortment of routes but I'm still waiting for the first home run throw from Tannehill.
Speaking of Tannehill, he looks great. Decisive, composed, and a rocket arm with ever-improving accuracy. He isn't afraid to take some shots on medium routes but he'll still do the smart thing and check down when there's nothing available. Haven't seen him trying to force throws very much, but when he does he's been fitting it into the window.
Tannehill hasn't been scrambling or running as much as I expected but I'm guessing that's just preseason playcalling in effect. I expect a lot more bootlegs and rollouts during the regular season. Tannehill is awesome at throwing on the run which we haven't really seen this preseason.
O-line looks good but not great in pass protection, and pretty good on running plays. Getting Jerry back is big and Martin is starting to look like a legitimate starter at LT. No one is talking about him anymore because he's performing so well. Biggest concern there is in the red zone where they seem to be losing the battle up front consistently. It doesn't lead to hideous plays but it does lead to plays that aren't very productive.
I'm still really worried about the TE situation. Charles Clay (Keller's replacement) can't run a route to save his life and he's got Jermichael hands (if not worse). Egnew is even worse, and Sims doesn't have enough raw talent to really contribute as a rookie. Tannehill will most likely have to rely on Gibson to open up the middle of the field more than previously expected.
Overall I'm feeling pretty good. Really looking forward to seeing what this team can do in some games that matter.

Ask them why their hair is wet.
make friends and tell them little known facts about their players
"Did you know Jimmy Graham used to play basketball?"
How was his upbringing?
:lol
As if they had a shot with a healthy Sanchez. That team is a joke. You are lucky that you play in a division where the Jets are your biggest rival.
Did you guys catch the end of the Broncos game? So it starts raining, and Peyton is bugging Fox to let him play. I guess Peyton had grip issues in the cold last year, so he wants to wear a glove in bad conditions. So it's all scrubs in the 4Q and Peyton wants to get reps wearing his glove. Fox is obviously not going to let him back in, so he starts taking practice snaps on the sideline and throwing passes in the rain. This after a first half of almost throwing 40 passes. A fucking machine. I watch sports to watch guys like that play
I don't even consider Jets a rival. That was manufactured when Parcells went there then of course Rex. Miami was the better team and far more of the challenge for well over a decade. Pats went years unable to beat Miami in Miami until their kicker shanked a kick and Troy Brown iced them.

Steelers fans around here have settled into this habit where they whine about how awesome their division is because their team has gotten worse. Whining about how horrible the AFC East is is just another part of that.
:jnc
Steelers Ravens has been objectively the best rivalry in football for awhile.
I agree they the rest of the division is Garbo but it is a higher quality I garbage than what you see in the East!
