I certainly think the Eagles have a shot to win the division. The offensive numbers they put up are great, and I like Foles (I know some Eagles fans do not) to be more consistent than Vick. Dallas isn't going to run off a 10 win season either. Not with their injuries on defense. If Hatcher isn't playing then DAL might have a just as bad if not worse defense

Browns fans need to get over it. He's starting the rest of the season barring injury, and we have a pretty good idea of his strengths and limitations so far.
The entire team shit the bed in the second half against Detroit, yet Weeden seems to be getting 99% of the blame.

I pretend we got Cooper and Alex for 2 2nd rounders.

I'll start this week's Gifcamming with this play. It says a lot that Ben would rather throw to a Double covered Miller than a bracketed Paulson.
This. Best thing for Weeden is to suffer another injury and let Browns fans have their Jason Campbell era. It's too bad the front office is letting him be the pinata

It can't be understated what Miller means to the offense.

I totally agree it wasn't all on Weeden. As you said before, coming out of halftime, the D could have stepped up and caused trouble for the Lions, but I feel they just made better halftime adjustements than we did (which were seemingly none.)
The QB play was just atrocious in the 2nd half, which is where the issues of accuracy and decision making come up as he certainly did us no favors.
So it would seem for us to win, the coaching staff needs to do better on both ends to come up with better schemes for Brandon to succeed and the D needs to be a little more creative. Although our secondary is still a big weakness other than Haden,
Oh, don't worry. I'm sure someone here would love to do that for you. You just need to hold it up
haha.

I was at the game with my dad and sister (for my dad's birthday) and when the wave first came around, no one knew that Campbell was injured. It wasn't until maybe the second or third wave before people realized Campbell was seriously down and people stopped. There was a big standing O when Campbell got carted off though (not sure that mitigates the wave but whatever). That said, I didn't exactly have an enjoyable time. The crowd in my section was especially rude during the game. The kid seated behind me (late teens early 20's?) was banging on the back of my seat the whole time, there was a bitch fight that broke out between two girls a couple rows down and a few dudes that had to be escorted out because they had too much to drink and yacked in their seats (before the game even started). I haven't been to a live niners game in quite a long time but I don't recall it ever being this rowdy previously.
I don't know if they're letting him be the pinata as much as knowing Jason Campbell isn't better.
With Weeden he at least can show some flashes of being able to win a game while Campbell will checkdown all day when we're down 16 or more and be content with it.
But yes some of the anger is unjustly being thrown at Weeden but at the same time would it be this vile if he didn't throw that boneheaded pick? I think that's the image everyone is remembering and fueling their rage.
Then add into that the 3 INTs in week 1, the 4 INTs his first start in his rookie year plus the millions of other INTs he's thrown these past two years and you can see why things are bubbling over.
A lot of people are looking at him and seeing absolutely no change in him from year 1 to year 2. He's still staring down receivers, he's still hanging onto the ball, any lick of pressure and he folds terribly. The only major improvement I've seen of him off the top of my head is he's taken off some of the velocity of his throws, that's it.

Isn't Kave black? Should be easy enough to spot at Lambeau.
He is done after this year regardless and he'll be like the 25th best option as a backup. I would not be surprised if he is simply out of the league a la VY next season. He'll bounce around a bit in pre-season and won't catch on anywhere.

I have been sporadically posting this season. I try not to beat my chest about the Chiefs too much, I know where we have been the past 10 years. I will say that as much as I hated John Elway's Broncos, PMs Broncos are so much worse
better
Loving the AFC west right now, SD is good and even Oakland is showing life.

He'll be the only black guy there.
He will have his Phaneuf jersey on
Ball won't always bounce KC's way. +12 Turnover ratio is unsustainable. Additionally, you've faced Gabbert, Romo, Vick, Eli, Fitz, and Pryor. Outside of Romo, those QBs are either struggling or garbage. I think you do have a good defense, but the competition has been fairly bad. Bad in that the only team you'll face going forward as of right now with a winning record will be Denver assuming SD stays at 0.500.
The question is what happens when your team falls behind? That's KC's greatest weakness in my mind, and hasn't been tested so far. 7-10 points lead on KC, against a serviceable defense is a death knell for KC in my mind. Shuts down Charles and forces Alex to throw.
Guess we will have to wait and see what happens going forward. Should be a good game.

lmao omg I just got a loan and the customer is an escort, I've been reading her reviews online. She's down for everything lol I thought this was illegal though? She charges between 200-300 per hour and most dudes leave good reviews. She's making 7k a month.
Yeah I agree. He's not worth a roster spot for most teams, who should be trying to groom someone at the backup spot. It's not like I have any particular sympathy for the guy. I just think he is getting a raw deal from the fans, but he's being well compensated for it

Pretty mundane play, except that Jones (#95) was caught overpursuing - he did it earlier on a read option play that Geno took for 9. Fortunately the Steelers weren't burnt for it, but Jones was benched after this. Worilds came in for him and got a sack the next play.
Williams (#98) really shined on this play too. Dude has closing speed, didn't get caught in the wash chasing his responsibility. There was another tackle for loss Williams had I wanna take a look at.

Good points and I agree, we are one dimensional right now (however we have had 2 come from behind wins). I will say that the Broncos have had the same easy schedule thus far, and it is just as reasonable to say their offense is unsustainable.

I've always been a Peyton guy first. He was the reason I even started paying attention to football (my first two sports I really paid attention to was NBA and tennis). I honestly don't know who I'll continue cheering for once he retires, but I do like both the Broncos and the Colts.
I was the same way with the NBA as well. When I was younger, my favorite team was the Lakers because my favorite player was Nick Van Exel. Once they shipped them out, I only ever watched Laker games for Chick Hearn and started rooting for the Clippers. For the most part, I'm a homer for Orange County southern california teams (Clippers, Ducks, Angels) though I only really follow the Clippers throughout the season.

That's not an over pursue. That's how they play the read option, now. The crashing lb has responsibility on the rb.
Someone should write an obit for the read option, btw. It's dead.
always put a helmet on your player.

Fine, but Jones was 5 steps off of the RB. I get that the pursuing LB has responsibility, but he's supposed to stay square to the play. Jones didn't and got torched.
Oh, well, I did not mean yell and scream like Children. That is for Pats fans.
I just like a little ego showing as it creates conversation. It actually seems really interesting to see if defense thrives over offense or not. As a fan of interesting football of course I hope offense wins.
Yeah, the AFC West has to be the shock of the year. They are rising out of fubar status to real contenders. It reminds me of the NFC West rising a couple years ago. Hell, I am willing to say that this year the West in general has most of the best teams.
Please tell me "breaking the touch barrier" is code for fucking. I can't handle reading past the OP of that friendzone thread if it isn't. Guy is in college and intimidated by someone breaking the "touch barrier?" What kind of soft pussies are they growing over there in Euroland??

Trick play - WR pass (which Felix Jones barely caught)
This play may look familiar - it was the same one that Baron Batch dropped on SNF last year. After that play it was obvious that Batch was a goner.

SF culture! Seriously though, that sucks that your experience was marred. Campbell said he heard the ovation and didn't notice the wave so that's good. The Niner players tried to shut it down right away, were classy. He said he could have walked off but the doctors wanted to play it safe so hopefully it's not serious and he'll be good to go Thursday. Probably best to let him rest on a short week but man will we miss him if he does.
Half the crowd was Steeler fans but I will bet that they were still louder than Giants fans.
