Yea, I'm still surprised by that GB game. If the offense could have gotten out of its way, GB would have had a good shot. But the Lions deserve credit for really dominating the trenches and not giving Godgers time to hurt them. In fact even when he had time our secondary made plays.

I agree Lambeau will be ugly. My hope is that it doesn't matter: if we have a better record we'll win the division, and if not I hope we'll have a wildcard locked up. That's why this upcoming Cardinals game is the biggest of the season IMO. We HAVE to have that wildcard escape hatch available because the Packers are beasting right now and have an easy schedule compared to us.

It will be interesting to see what the teams decide to to if the game somehow manages to have no playoff seed impact.
Still so much that can happen 7 games out.

Have you read "Go, Dog. Go!"?

Sounds like a masterpiece.

Books can be cool and stuff

Indeed!

Print is dead.

Good stories stand the test of time.

It's been a bit of both. They definitely blitz a ton, but they have been able to generate a lot of pressure with just their front 4 this year. Especially over the past several weeks. They are second in the league with 34 sacks and the majority of them have come from their linemen and OLBs: Barwin has 10.5 sacks, Vinny Curry has 5, while Brandon Graham and Trent Cole have 4.5 each.

It'll be interesting to see how Billy Davis attacks Rodgers. He's on fire right now and will be tough to slow down, but I think our defense is also playing really well, so it should be a good matchup.

Yeah I would definitely say they are getting a lot of pressure with and without blitzing. All of the DE/DT squad have been playing like beasts. Fletcher Cox especially. Their two gap play is really good. I think they have had a very good amount of pressure from a four man rush all season. I know through the first five games they got the majority of their sacks on four man rushes, but I haven't paid attention to what pass rush has been most successful since.

 

[Milchjon]

If I wasn't so damn tired right now I would go find all those "Tom is done!" posts from the week one OT and post them here.

To be fair, some parts of his game have deteriorated.

Guy who tweeted the chart used it to make a point about his increased mobility.

 

[jakncoke]

I didnt say the whole season though. Only have fun, then half misery.

 

[bionic77]

That brace for his arm looks exactly like the one I have for my knee.

And I wouldn't be surprised if his arm is bigger than my leg too.

Just out of curiosity how much HGH and steroids do you have to take to get that big?

Given the number of teams still in the legitimate hunt, and given that the NFC South will steal a spot, I find it real difficult to see a scenario where that game has no impact.

Trying to out-cunt us, huh Slay!

[andthebeatgoeson]

About time someone picked up Incognito. Yes, a douche but I would say, not much more of a douche than many others.

Eagles got 5 TOs from Carolina and still -5 on takeaways:giveaways. We is our own worst enemy. I get shook everytime Huff touches the ball.

 

[MechDX]

In all seriousness Mallett is in his best chance of success, even if he stayed in NE. He has two good WR's in Dre and Hopkins, a good running game with Foster and Blue, an All Pro LT in Brown to watch his blindside and a bend but don't break defense that leads the league in turnovers.

He has a familiarity with the offense and is comfortable with both O'Brien and Godsey, QB's coach. Its not like some of the rookies, Bortles as an example, who are thrown to the wolves with no weapons around him. I can see a McCown type situation fro last year happening here. Except Mallett doesn't have to worry about some starter who is out due to injury. Fitz has a two year contract that was only guaranteed this year,

His chance of success is greater than his chances of failing even if not by much

Jordan Matthews has more targets, receptions, and touchdowns than DeSean Jackson. Man, imagine if the Eagles had Maclin, Matthews, and DeSean Jackson. Would have been unreal.

And imagine if they didn't draft a complete bust in the first round. Someone who could contribute right about now.

Imagine if we didn't move back but maybe moved up to get a guy like Mosley or Fuller.

Or imagine if they didn't so much money to Cooper.

So since the cowboys don't plays this week I'm thinking I should just post SA Spurs stuff.

I'm not ready to write of Smith as a bust yet, but yeah, he certainly isn't contributing now. I still think moving back was a good move on their part. But yeah, Cooper is over paid. I actually think they should make Matthews the No. 2 and Huff the slot receiver and bench Cooper.

are we watching the same team?

Andre johnson has checked out.
"all pro" left tackle duane brown is having his worst year since his rookie year, including a horrible false start on 4th and 1. Foster will get hurt again, a week off for a groin injury in cold weather? He either doesnt play or gets hurt again during the game, I would bet money on it. Blue sucks, hes getting barely 3 yards per carry. I was going to go in on the defense comment, but apparently the points per game doesnt back me up on that. Which is saying something about the rest of the league, cause this defense is bad.

Don't get your hopes up. He's not the next Sanchez and couldn't even take Brady's job.

 

[ActStriker]

It's probably because I haven't watched a whole lot of football this past week, and that both teams were on bye, but I don't have a good handle on Pats-Colts. It screams shootout, but while both the offense and defense have been great, this is where I think McDaniels starts to over game plan and puts in fancy shit for the sake of being flashy. I think the Colts D will step up too, as bad as they are against TEs.

 

[AngmarsKing701]

The Steelers will win this week. Because giving their fans false hope is a Mike Tomlin trademark.

Ridiculously spoiled fanbase.

Larry Warford, our Probowl RG will be out for a couple of weeks. LaAdrian Waddle our starting RT also got hurt in the Dolphins game.

I wouldn't mind bringing in Incognito for a workout. Travis Swanson our rookie 3rd round pick was solid but all these injuries on our line has me worried.

Here's a fun fact. In 5 years with the Jets, Sanchez never had a 300-yard passing yard/0 turnover game. He's done it tonight. First start.

Maybe it was just the Jests?

More huge NFC West injury news: Source tells @FOXSports1 Seahawks DT Brandon Mebane is done for the year with a torn hamstring. Wow.

 

[The_Darkest_Red]

Remember when I said the Dolphins secondary lacks quality depth?

"Jamar Taylor was picked on when he came in to replace Finnegan, allowing 6-of-7 passes to be completed for 62 yards. Golden Tate especially embarrassed the second-year CB, catching all five targets for 57 yards against him, with some first down conversions later in the game."

Never thought I'd say this but they really missed Innegan in the fourth quarter of that game.
