There are a LOT of bad Olines this year. Whats going on?

They are horrible but supposedly it can be tough to recover from a center when it comes to being on the same page as a unit.
The first turnover. Foster (#73) pulling, didn't latch onto anyone, free rusher.
Play looks like a designed QB run.
Lots of guys have been coming through unblocked every game so far. You can see that Ben doesn't trust the line at all. We were average at running the ball against Chicago so at least they improved on that front, but at the same time I don't know how good Chicago's defense is this year.

Feeling good this week. Our defense is back !!!!!
other than 7 TDs
WTF is wrong with Bay area fans? the ones on this forum seem fine but there are some fucking crazies over there.
One of your best players got in a fight with a stripper and lost.
Dude is so soft and weak that he could probably start on my team.
fmt seems fine to you?!

We already knew he was soft. Did you see Dancing with the Stars?
Looking forward to the Dolphins/Saints game, should be a fun one.
Also, Cam Wake has a mild MCL sprain in his left knee and could miss two to three weeks. That means the Dolphins d-line will be without its best run stopper (Paul Soliai) and best pass rusher. Time for the rookie Dion Jordan to get in there and make an impact.
Go Dolphins!
I'm going into Monday night expecting a loss. I think the Saints are the toughest game on our schedule. We've historically had trouble covering TE's so I expect Graham to have a huge game. Tony G killed on us their first drive Sunday. I think the only reason he slowed down was because he hit his head on the ground early in the game.
It does suck not having Wake, Soliai, and Patterson, but we have a bye in two weeks, so this is probably the best time for injuries. Jordan didn't register a sack last game, but he put a lot of pressure on Matt Ryan. I think he'll have a solid game against the Saints.
1. Seahawks are very different away from home
2. Yall have great recievers
3. Russell Wilson meets JJ Swat
I think it favors yall overall.
Past the Rockies the Seahawks are mediocre and beatable. I like the Texans. Carroll is usually pretty shitty at getting his team up for basically meaningless games.

This is madness. Seahawks are the best team in football, period. Texans defense hasnt been the same since the great start last year. Lynch is gonna run over them, and the Seahawks defense is going to feast on Schaub. Guy couldnt do anything against a terrible Ravens D. The only thing crazier then picking the Texans to win would be picking the Eagles to win this week. Man I wish they would just forfeit the game so that no one gets hurt.
AFC >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> NFC
Not to mention we're missing Russell Okung.
Definitely possibility for an upset game. Gonna have to pray to the football gods that Schoob helps us out!
It's hard to say what'll happen, it'll probably be a low-scoring, last-play kinda game.
Thanks for the insight as always
I'll get around to reading a wiki entry or something eventually, I just figure it'll be fun to watch those NFL Films yearbooks since they're always so well done, and it'll be nice to see some Seahawk history in action.edit: and yeah, the Texans winning wouldn't surprise me at all, excited for the game for sure.
That's every game in the NFL that does not involve the Broncos, Steelers or Giants.
A lot of bad QBs.
Your avatar is so cute and I love that both studios are working together.
broncos look good but the defense seems a bit vulnerable.

The good news, Foster was undrafted, can't complain about them wasting a draft pick on that one!

What kind of horrible fucking person are you? Who takes advantage of a mentally handicapped person like that?
Texans are frauds to begin with. Regardless of how much away handicap we get, it hardly puts the game in their pocket.

Not a good sign. HoFlynn will play against the Redskins. I still like our chances.

Well, we beat the Falcons without Wake and Soliai. Hopefully the football gods will be in our favor again MNF.
Packers started the season exactly as I predicted, 1-2 with close losses on the road to SF and Cincinnati. What I didn't expect is that only 5 teams would be ahead of them in the NFC standings. LOL, NFC sucks.
If there is anything Flynn loves it's historically atrocious defenses and playing against offenses that turn the ball over. Matt Flynn will throw for 500 against the Skins.

I've gone into the Colts and Falcons games expecting losses as well, haha. There's no telling with this team, but like you I do expect them to lose against the Saints. I'll be surprised if Graham has anything less than 100 yards and a TD.
I saw a blog that said Jordan was the highest rated player on the Dolphins D by PFF for the Falcons game. He had four hurries, a QB hit, and a positive grade in run D. I think you're right in that he could have a solid game against the Saints. Our pass rush has been very disappointing the past two weeks so I really hope they get it going again soon.
It's early. Texans D could get it going and the Ravens D has looked fine outside of that Denver game. I could see this being a close one and it wouldn't surprise me if the Texans pulled off the upset.

Hey, he's the one who offered the bet. lol
Who am I to turn down free food?
I guess I cant fault you then, but my god your co-worker is a moron. If the Eagles keep Denver under 60 they should get half a win for the game.

Spoken like a man who has not watched the Jaguars play a game all year.
Clay Buchholz said:
Between that and Sammy Sosa going on the DL for straining his back while sneezing, athletes are a funny breed.
Actually, their defense is playing hard right now, but their offense is absent.
Agreed. If the Jags dropped 17 on the Seachickens. I can't imagine what Schaub will do to them.
Oh man that sucks. Enjoy the Holiday Bowl I guess.

After what the Colts did to the Niners it's hard to imagine them struggling against the Jags D.
Niners D isn't exactly in top form right now.

Their two losses are against the Hawks and Colts who are both good offenses. It's hard to say where all the responsibility lies but do you really think the Jags have a better D than the Niners?
Iaint welching shit. Just you guys sound like the regular season is over in week 4. A lesson I learned last year.
This is a league of you never know.

Henne came in and played well last year, that isnt the case this year. Gabbert is the QB this week and he is complete trash.
