Brown is fucking going off this year.
He went off last year too.

They keep changing the names but Ben is really productive with all of these guys.

:jnc

Best part is the Dom Capers style afternoon nap after lunch and ice cream too.



Well maybe Omar Epps is the coach now?

Don't forget we brought Ahman Green back from the dead not too long ago. It happens...
Don't insult Omar Epps like that!

An Epps team wouldn't have this many penalties!

Oof RT @APtcollins: My sources tell me that @RAIDERS head coach Dennis Allen is fired and an announcement could come as soon as Tuesday


Terry Collins @APtcollins · 14h

I have no information about the status about the Raiders coach. I was never covering the story.

...


Rough start to the season for you guys. Sorry, man.

So I guess it'll be Sparano until the end of the year? Oh boy.


Yeah, that's the most likely scenario. I honestly think he'd be an upgrade at this point. The team has quit on Allen.

Talked to more than dozen #Raiders players on possible coaching change; Rogers, Jones-Drew, Smith spoke against it, everybody else shrugged

CJ Mosley, ILB: +6.1
He predominantly stood out as a run defender, recording an impressive seven defensive stops in just 29 run snaps. As a pass rusher Mosley also recorded a batted pass and had a pressure negated by penalty. Finally in coverage he allowed 3-of-4 targets for 19 yards, only one of which resulted in a first down and that was deep into garbage time.

Signature Stat: Mosley is currently first amongst inside linebackers in Run Stop Percentage (14.9%) having recorded a league leading 14 defensive stops.

Oh no. Two rookie linemen making their first starts on Monday Night Football at Arrowhead, against Dontari Poe, Justin Houston, and Tamba Hali. And Fleming was a college tackle who took his first snaps at guard last Wednesday. I guess it can't be worse than what they had before, right? Right?

Incognito here we come. They only have the Bengals D next week !!!

Is it though? Can't do much with no cornerbacks, a crappy QB, and a bad receiving corps.

OLine is good(Exception of Winters but he is serviceable)
Rb Core is the best in the NFL
TE's are solid
WR core has some bright spots(Kerley, Decker, and Salas)
Defensive Front 7 may be the best in the NFL
Saftey core is goo but they are forced to play deep cover because of their ineptitude at CB
Vet backup in Vick and Geno smith who has the arm and feet but not the decision making skills yet to be a solid qb.

Yet they spent as much money as the Raiders and Jags did this year on their team.

Idzik is setting Rex up as the fall guy because the owner is cheap when it comes to coaches salary. (Brian Schottenheimer was kept on because the owner didn't want to pay his salary when Rex came aboard).

Even if Rex is fired (Which I don't want right now) I don't see the GM bringing the right people in to fix anything.

He let DRC walk right out of his office because he wants to stick with locked numbers with how much he wants to pay players.

Firing your coach four weeks into the season?

Raiders front office already giving up on the year apparently.

Which incidentally is still four weeks longer than when the fans gave up.

Did you see the pic of the phins lined up in a trips bunch formation and raiders having one corner cover all three? There is some ridiculous coaching going on over there.

Don't be too angry, you'll have Suh next season!



Does Dennis Allen call the plays? I honestly have no idea.

That fattass Kas can keep his fattass DT.

Allen does not call the plays. His degenerative buddy Jason Tarvor does with his PhD in biochemistry.
 
I just watch the Simpsons/Family Guy crossover. It was pretty funy(probably cause I haven't watch either show in years) but it reminded how much of a sucker I was fights in sitcoms as a kid growing up.
 
What?

Geno beat out Vick in the preseason and Tebow looked like fucking shit with the Jets.

jnc at Geno "beating" out Vick. Vick never got a chance in the preseason since the coaches were so worried about how fragile Geno is and they knew he couldnt handle the competition.

Doesn't matter someone has to see that shit and fix it. make an adjustment call a to do fucking something. Allen is the hc he's responsible for his guys. Their shitty performance reflects on him. What nfl level coaches would just say Fuck it and roll with that play.

Sorry, had to bring this up:







Lol indeed.

Stating pretty much certain things specially with the lack of wr depth does not make you some sort of expert or someone or knowing of what they are saying. It proves 2 things. 1) you're a cheeser saying obvious things to up your "correct" % and you say a whole bunch of shit and that if you say enough shit you'll be right sometimes. Also you arent even right yet lol so im not even sure you are pumping your chest.
 
Well, except for the second half against the bears he has been very good all year. I didn't see any critical problems yesterday and I did see some unbelievable throws to receivers who still struggle to get open and an O-line that offers no protection. We won't even get into the idiotic play calling system Roman uses that puts a lot of unnecessary pressure on the QB. Hell, Smith got twice as many delay of game flags and burned time outs under the same system. He doesn't get those in KC because the system is better there.

People get just insanely critical of every throw he makes for some reason. Brady, Manning and Rodgers also misread defenses at times, don't see open receivers or over/under throw passes. He doesn't always lead his shallow route receivers for a good reason a lot of time. Throwing to the back shoulder is frequently the correct throw especially when there isn't much separation from the defender. And how many balls were dropped yesterday? Probably 5 or 6? All very catchable balls that weren't thrown too hard at all.

Kap's definitely scanning the field a lot more this year. I'll give you that. The Gore play was pretty much exemplary of that (on replays you could see his eyes darting from receiver to receiver while he was running). With the exception of last week against the Cards(according to All-22 analysis, his receivers weren't getting open though), he's been making a concerted effort staying behind the LOS on busted plays. He's also trying to throw receivers open (as evidenced by the Stevie Johnson TD and his int). However, the guy is still the epitome of hot/cold. He has above average completion rates on intermediate passing plays but it's mind boggling that he has accuracy issues with short routes (which has been his MO since day one). He missed a ton of easy passes yesterday (biggest one being the perfect pick play in the redzone that would've been a TD to Crabtree). Also, I hate how he stares down his primary target from the get go. Good QB's will look off safeties, keep their eyes staring down the center for as long as possible (this is something Walsh heavily stressed- looking down the middle while dropping back) and what not but Kap just stares at who he's going to throw right from the start. I'm not calling for his head or anything as the O-line and G-Ro's playcalling are ultimately what's holding the niners offense back. But if he could actually hit his receivers in stride on short routes, it'd go a long way.

I guess my stomach was sick over that Bears game, woke up at 4am sick as fuck. Took the day off work. Now I don't know what to do with myself since there's nothing left in my stomach.
 
Nick Foles is 9 for 48 on Passes that travel 20+ yards this year. Fuck that is almost Brady Levels of suck. I hate Sanchize so very much but I am not sure how he can be worse, he is more mobile and has a stronger arm. If Foles still has the deer in the headlights look at the start of the next game make the switch Chip.
 
Did you guys see Carr get hurt yesterday? Dude is hobbling off of the field like he only has one leg and all of his teammates are just standing around staring at him. Downright pitiful.

It's getting real. #Giants WR Odell Beckham Jr. to practice in full this week, 'looking forward to Atlanta'

Jon Beason also practiced in a limited capacity today. Chances are looking up that he might play.

Also, since we're tossing out PFF grades. On Will Beatty's 2014 campaign thus far:

http://www.nj.com/giants/index.ssf/2014/09/giants_tackle_will_beatty_last_year_was_an_anomaly.html

Pro Football Focus currently grades him as the No. 1 tackle in the NFL, ahead of Tyron Smith and Jason Peters.
