And yet all summer you talked about Sam Bradford being good.
LOL fuck you and the Bears (?) ! He still may be. The O-Line has sucked.

I for one can't wait for hearing much of the same pundits that played down our trouncing the Bears to quickly declare the Chickens in top form for decimating the Clausen Bears. Also how it's all thanks to Kam returning and they only lost the first two weeks because he was missing.

In a way he has been playing fantasy football since Bradford joined the eagles
Foles is better than Wussell too!
Oh ffs no he isn't. The sooner you eagle fans get over this weird infatuation with Bradford the better off your team will be. That being said as rival who I hate more than tje skins I hope you guys stay with him for a decade and chip stays up there for two decades.

Stafford is somehow ready to play with hurt ribs, hurt shoulder, two toes taped together and the other big toe fucked up.
We're going all out on Sunday Night. I think the team is pissed after the late hits and generally getting pushed around by the Vikings from last Sunday.
Stafford is a leader and no one can question the size of his balls. With the injuries he's sustained through two games most players would've taken a few weeks off. I expect him to play till he drops.
If we can get this W there may be hope in an injury riddled NFC. If we lose, shut Stafford down for the season, start looking at what we do with Megatron and start watching college football for the inevitable Top 10-Top 15 picks. We have a ton of draft picks next season.

Cutler was 7/8 against your D before getting injured (yes it was an int). Most teams would be in bad shape if their starting QB went down. Jimmy Clausen is raw garbage
Week 1...Foles won!
I'm pretty sure you were saying that as a general statement in the offseason.
I was. I prefer Foles at QB here over Wilson. Still do. Always will.

Stafford needs to be in better shape. Kap is getting hit more than any QB in the league but he is fine because he takes care of himself. Stafford is a disgusting fatbody so it's no surprise he can't stay healthy

Massie's suspension is finally over and Iupati has a high chance of playing, finally could potentially have our true starting OL and be even more dominant there, especially the run game. That said, Watford has done well enough that Massie might not start now or at least will have a very short leash. Zero sacks thus far and #2 rated OL the first couple weeks. I know it's a joke to talk about it after two weeks but few fans understand having a putrid OL the majority of the time they've watched football. Veldheer the #3 LT so far. Excite.
The Niners are the sort of game Iupati excels in too and being his old team, I'm sure he's pumped to play. Even with our success, can't wait to replace Larsen in the lineup.
1. This does nothing to invalidate my point
2. Historically, Cutler completely unravels after throwing a pick, especially a pick 6. 110 percent positive we'd have blown them out regardless. Not to mention Cutler didn't do anything impressive the time he was on the field. That one huge play was 99 percent the receiver making a play down the edge of the field.

Stop being stupid, Jamal.
Stop being stupid, Jamal.
Are you still a Bradford man? Ever since the Pats won* the Super Bowl, things just haven't been right.

God I hope Iupati plays. We will get some QB pressures if so!
I miss Suh. With all the late hits and cheap shots the Vikings were laying on us (Pride of Detroit has an article with gifs and no calls), Suh would've been an enforcer and given those cheap shots back.
There's a difference between saying he's better and saying you prefer him. We already know your tastes and preferences are odd at best, so that wouldn't be such a controversial statement.
Please, the hits Stafford has sustained is proof enough the guy is made of steel. Stafford has nice bulk to him which helps cushion some of those hits whereas Kaep is a toothpick. He's a fast toothpick though, I'll give him that.

Again, he's better than Larsen so still an upgrade. Bring it!

Kap weighs more than stafford you dumb motherfucker! One is lean, muscular and in shape. The other is a fatbody who won't commit to getting into nfl shape

Wilson won a SB though! I think most Seahawks fan could agree that Luck was better than Wilson (they both suck now..), but we wouldn't have won the SB with Luck's style. Wilson really fit our old style (hard touch defense, and strong running game) basically he was a game manager than could also make plays with his feet. He was a nice little hybrid.
Now... I don't know anymore. Running game isn't as strong, defense isn't as strong. Throwing game is better but also means more risk for INT. OLine still sucks so Wilson isn't exactly getting the most time to throw, and he still short so he's better out side the pocket anyways (if he did get time to throw).
I play week to week on D usually via add/drop but I drafted BUF this year so I thought I wouldn't need to do that. Just picked up DEN for the NE matchup but now I don't know what to go with. I'll trade the other eventually.
I will pick one of those kickers, not sure which though which is why I'm asking. Dan Bailey without Romo may be better or worse.
What are your thoughts on the team having no respect for stafford?
I am pretty sure that most UFC and boxing fighters are fat slobs who need that disgusting fat to protect themselves from injury.

I love that Everson Griffen sounds like the Ladies Man from SNL.
That was Rodney Harrison trying to stir up something that wasn't there. Brandon Pettigrew, DeAndre Levy, Laken Tomlinson and a few others all came to Stafford's defense.
I can't wait to play the Vikings again. Anthony Barr and the Vikings D trying to act and play like they own the NFC North. Cheapshotting our QB like that, we'll get them back.

You want Fatford Pep? Come on. He can be your hero. The hero your fantasy team deserves.
Edit- I just saw the fucking Kas quotes jnc
It works if you work it
I'd take Stafford.

Dont act like the Lions got totally shafted, Teddy got pushed out of bounds too (with no call) and the Lions got a 5th down that lead to a garbage time touch down.
The refs were bad, and the Vikings weren't exactly imitating 09' Saints football.

What would you give me?
Over Sam? Is this really what we've come to with Stafford? Bradford has never shown even flashes of what he was supposed to be. At least stafford has his moments.
Not over Sam. I still want to see Sam before I think about giving up on him. I just wouldn't be upset with Stafford as the QB of the birds.
Edit: He's talking about fantasy. Whoops. No, fuck Stafford then.
I'm more saying I'm surprised people have dropped THAT far on Stafford to compare him to Bradfords resume. I do think Bradford has a lot of talent in there, but something just isn't clicking for him, likely mentally given how roughed up he's been throughout his career.

Still better in Fantasy than Bradford and Luck have been.

Real talk? Stafford can take hits, but if they don't fix the line Stafford will go down in a heap of pain and your season is toast. Even QBs built like proper tanks can only take so much. Stafford is not one 0f those types. And the Broncos have a good enough D to mow your line down.
I invested a 1st round pick in Luck, and started Bradford over him both weeks. Lol. Luck will right the ship.
I'm partial to A'shawn myself.
