NFL 2013 Week 4 IOTI - For a good time call Sweet Pea
- Thread starter Bolt Vanderhuge
- Start date
I was sick to my stomach when Locker got hurt. Flashbacks of Bo Jackson kept running through my head. He was playing so well lately and starting to turn the corner. I'm seeing reports that he's out of the hospital and won't need surgery so hopefully he'll bounce back.
I have little faith in Fitz but if he keeps the turnovers to a minimum and just manages the offense then hopefully things will work out. The defense has looked really good this year.
At least Gator as the excuse of being a stupid reptile who wasn't born in Florida.
What is Lunchbox's excuse for being a filthy bandwagoning whore? He should be a Lions fan considering he is a resident of Shitsville (aka Detroit), Michigan.
Tebow's judgement chose the wrong victim. My condolences. Wilfork always seemed like a down-to-Earth guy.Poor Vince.

You are asking a lot of him with that... The only thing Fitz is consistent with is his inconsistency.

Chiefs aren't gonna do anything against the Broncos. Oakland could easily be 3-1 right now, our defense is playing tough but the offense is struggling mightily.
I'm just saying the league seems to be historically weak on the defensive side of the ball this year. The 99 rams had to contend with Bucs, who almost stopped them. Maybe some team will get steamrolling on D, but I'm not sure you can stop Peyton for 4 quarters this year. I hope I'm wrong, but we'll see.
Interesting, Why didnt you jump on a OK St players team before? What was special about Weeden to make you want to follow and keep following the Browns?

Pretty much. We have a rough three game stretch coming up and if we can squeak out even one win with Fitz I'll take it going forward, giving the situation. Our running game really, really needs to be on fire for any real chance, which I don't have much hope for as long as Turner is still under center.
Yeah definitely, he's one of the more likable guys on the team... probably the league. Obviously I'm biased, but he's just tough not to like, always has a ton to say after games too.
Wilfork is awesome. Everyone knows this.
I wonder if Phil Taylor from the Browns or Dan Williams from the Cardinals would be available via trade. There aren't a lot of traditional nose tackles around the league, it would seem. I wish the bridges hadn't been burned with Richard Seymour, he might have been a semi-effective fill-in.

You are a great fan, Gata. There is no fan truer than yourself.
Continue your righteous ways.

You will end up like Yankee, bitter and spiteful and full of hate.
Faulk was just too much, it was crazy to watch some of the stuff he did. That season was such an excellent display of overall RB talent from him. To think on top they had Warner who was LIGHTS OUT that year is just sickening.
Denver is going ham this year without question, but their backs are still meh and they've done so against 3 of the worst D's in the league through 25% of the season.
Pump. The. Brakes.
I've been running through scenarios in my head about the Chiefs stopping the Broncos.
They can bring the pressure, but Peyton has been absolutely torching blitzes. The thing it ultimately depends on in my mind is coverage. If they can shut down the WRs/TEs, then the pressure will matter. Otherwise, he'll just get rid of the ball quickly, and then it's death by 1000 cuts.
They could also play the possession game, but I think Denver's defense is good enough to get off the field even facing the likes of Charles. Von will be back for those games as well. So that complicates things for them.
I'm not going to say the Chiefs can't do that, but it won't be easy. It will take long sustained drives by the Chiefs, and excellent coverage combined with pressure to do it. Can they? I'm not going to rule it out, but I think we match up good enough to prevent those from happening. Then again we could have something from left field like Alex or Charles having a career day and outscoring the Broncos not likely, but could happen.
Thats what happens when you change the rules. Remember that you can't really touch a receiver past 5 yards and you can't crush people over the middle. Makes it impossible to cover any team that has 3+ good receivers if you give the qb any time.
I wouldn't crown the Broncos just yet seeing as how there is a team that wins the September and October bowl every year (usually PeyPey or Tammy) that flames out in the playoffs. If the Broncos stay healthy (especially Peyton, I wonder how he holds up at the end of the season) they might actually buck the trend and win playoff games because they are able to play defense and special teams. Its really hard to win in the playoffs when you are a one trick pony. It has to be a whole team because there will be quarters when shit is not going your way on offense and you need the defense to make some plays to keep you in the game. I can see the Broncos doing that this year. They are a little weak at RB, but I don't think matters because Peyton's dunk offense is as good or better than a real running game.

Our redzone woes are killing us far more than our defense or our injuries are.
If we could just start converting those opportunities in to TDs, we'd probably be undefeated right now.
We were 1 for 6 in the redzone last night.

I never gave my real assessment on the game from yesterday. First off, all the credit to the Bills. They were better than that 3 point win. We were dominated in the trenches on both sides. The routinely stuffed our run, Dareus and Kyle Williams seemed to be everywhere in the first half. There was no pass rush, and when there was, EJ got rid of it quick. He looked very good, even with the two picks. Our rush D had been very good, but yesterday, it was bad. Ngata was invisible. Linebackers constantly took bad angles. Just a bad performance on D. I'm hoping it was more of an aberation than the norm. Secondary....I'll give credit to Graham, Smith and Webb....they're not getting beat by much when they do, but are getting NO help from the safeties. Elam is a bust. On the other side of the ball, Kiko Alonso and Aaron Williams are good players.
On offense, what did people expect? Did they forget what Joe Flacco is like on the road? I did not. It took all of three throws to see what kind of Joe we were getting today. The one who forced throws into coverage, overthrew every deep ball, and simply couldn't throw the ball close the player he meant to. He does this on the road. It's crazy we were even in the game with a chance to win after 4 picks.....but then the fifth. Done. He's still the same Flacco I railed against last year, just with a ring, and a lot more money.
It's going to be a long 5 years.
Pittsburgh! We bros now!

We have family friends in Cleveland, and we decided to go up to a game last year (the Eagles opener). I enjoyed the game (although they of course lost in miserable fashion) and I also enjoyed the city itself. Kinda reminds me of OKC in a way, except we're trying to create our own identity as a city, and Cleveland is trying to reinvent itself.
The Weeden/OSU connection was an added factor, but the writing has been on the wall since the new regime came in that he isn't the answer. As it is, I think it's a fun team to follow. The defense is beastly, they're in prime position to contend for the division for years to come, and it's honestly fun to root for an underdog. I also admire the dedication of the fanbase--they love that team even though it has done nothing but shit on them since they returned to Cleveland.
I wouldn't be much of a Browns fan if I bailed just because they benched Weeden.

I like this new somewhat happy Eznark.

You guys don't run it enough when you get in the 10yd line. Hopefully Jackson will cure that.
You do realize in so few games played, by scoring so many points against each team they played. They helped each D look horrible just by scoring so many points, and gaining so many yards in 1/4 games played apiece.
Its crazy, pathetic, and awesome all at the same time that if the Eagles beat the Giants this Sunday and Broncos beat the Cowboys (this better happen Peyton!), Eagles are in first place.
Real season for us starts now that we have those horrible AFC West (minus the Raiders) teams out of the way!
Giants 2x in the next 4 weeks, a game with the Cowboys in between, and games against the Bucs, Cards, and Raiders left.

Nope, he opted to rehab it first so he could try to come back.

I hope Von can come back and give the defensive pass rush a boost. I think part of the reason the Broncos pass defense hasn't stood out is because a lot of times the Broncos can't get enough pressure with their defensive line, and other QBs have had time to find open receivers. Usually is worse earlier in the game before the Broncos have established a lead and opposing QBs are chucking it trying to make up ground. When they get even decent pressure, the DBs and linebackers are doing fantastic in coverage. Rodgers-Cromartie is beasting, Harris and Carter have been solid, Trevathan and Woodyard have been mostly awesome.

smart man.
I know, but I'm trying to hold out some sliver of hope. It could be worse. Rusty could be starting.
I hear ya. Time to gang up against those unruly bastards from Ohio who are taking over our division!
P.S. I can't believe your team had a real chance to win a game after throwing 4 INTs on the road. Buffalo tried so hard to lose, but to your team's credit you showed the heart of the 2013 Pittsburgh Steelers and wouldn't let it happen.
Unfortunately, even some people locally are stuck at his "ugly wife" and don't really know his story. It's just not as appealing to the masses as rape or spousal abuse.

Pats were the worst Redzone offense in the league going into last night. Probably still are.
What about straight up execution?
Patriots stress execution. He took it too literally.
Poor OKC
Execution is alright, I think we can all agree on that!
Honestly, that aspect really isn't applicable to Vince's situation, but it can be used to contrast him to other athletes if needed. Just didn't want to go down that road.

We need another player with a killer instinct. Thompkins could the guy if he stops dropping it.
We will give you guys Ryan Clark in exchange for a few draft picks.
He is a head hunter and is a really awesome football player. Throw in a first and we will give you Troy as well. Make the deal before we change our minds!
Agreed on all points. If they can sustain the coverage like they have, Von is going to be a huge boost to the defense. The pressure he generates creates a trickle down effect to a certain degree. It gives other guys a better opportunity to make plays as well. I will be happy to have him back. He is going to take us to the next level on the defensive side.
I'm still shocked at the Giants and Steelers record to this date. It has given me a great idea to replace the Pro Bowl.
- You vote players in, same as every other year.
- Those players are sent to Florida and given numerical signs like in the NBA Dunk Contest.
- They sit in the stands and watch the two teams with the worst records play one another a week before the Super Bowl.
You're welcome, Goodell.

You get about 4 months for doing that.
...are we talking a DLP set? Otherwise your TV is already dead.
Horrible idea.
The players try harder in the pro bowl than the Steelers and Giants players do.
