So early word is no surgery for Decker's knee, PCL strain? Guess MRI will confirm either way. Dude was beastin' yesterday too. Damn.

Meanwhile in Arizona, Arians is making Palmer look like the next Kurt Warner and the team looks like one of the only NFC contenders outside of Green Bay.
With Romo and Dez out, I guess it's time for Sean Lee to lead the Cowboys.

O we are keenly aware of how good Bruce Arians is. Too keen actually.

Colts have Luck. Texans have Mallett. Even at 0-2 the deck is still in the Colts favor until proven otherwise.

To anyone suggesting the Texans will finish with a better record than the Colts...

Anyway, glad the Dolphins are an underdog this week. That will ease the pain of the inevitable loss a bit.

Leveon is back this week, but I gotta wonder whether Deangelo gets the start and/or more carries. The dude has looked great in the first two weeks.

It's been a while since I was able to say this, but the Steelers have one of the best o-lines in the NFL - they can make anyone look good.
Deangelo has been great but there's no way Le'Veon doesn't start.

To Chips credit, Herremans and Mathis have played like doo doo butter. They're in new systems but still it hasn't looked good. McCoy is hurt. Cary Williams has played decent for the Hawks I think?

Damn. Clearly Pagano gives no fucks anymore.
This is the loser bowl my friend, no matter the outcome, we're both losers.

Pagano isn't wrong
Luck will get the good as he has when he's good. He's getting the bad now, deservedly so.

It's important that you know exactly how much of a fuck you can go lick.
Amount: All of them. All of the amounts.
my fantasy team fell because of them, it was great.
Those sneaky jags hiding their power every other game this year.

It's true...
I honestly think this one could get ugly if the Bills minimize their mistakes. Tannehill could easily get sacked 5+ times and the Bills offense could have a huge day on the ground and through the air. The Dolphins have no pass rush, mediocre LBs, and a bad secondary.
The formula for beating the Dolphins under Philbin has been fairly simple. Stop the run early and they abandon it, forcing Tannehill to carry all of the weight and making the offense predictably one-dimensional. That just so happens to be something the Bills excel at.
I'm expecting a lot of ugliness.

Manning never had an int rate below 2.5% his first 5 years in the league. I'm not particularly worried about Luck.

Cowboys Defense will keep them in games with Romo and Dez gone. Better than what people thought but still no media wants to give them credit.

I'm rewatching Steelers Niners..
Wow. Steelers D reset the LOS two yards back the whole game. Seeing that just reinforces how desensitized I had become to how far the Steelers D had fallen.

Miami fans is this real or bullshit

Sounds like you guys are 1-3 games away from Suh turning on teammates and shutting out the media. He lasted a year before doing it here.

DC Kevin Coyle and Philbin both said that report was false.
Media is desperate to pin anything negative they can on Suh, in my opinion.
So, being as objective as possible here, does anyone here think that the Eagles are just straight hosed this season, or can things turn around in any meaningful capacity? I' was so damn excited for this team and they've fallen flat more spectacularly than anyone on earth could have predicted. For me it all starts with that porous offensive line. I feel like if that gets resolved even somewhat, the offense will come alive (holes for Murray, more confidence for Bradford and time in the pocket).

If you figure out how to break the curse of liking this team please let me know... I still remember keeping up with every game during the 1-15 season.
Philbin specifically said he watched the film and saw no such thing. He's not the type to directly address a question like that unless he's telling the truth. If Suh really was ignoring the calls Philbin would probably deflect.
Whatever, you guys have fun with your witch hunt.
I like all this. Plus, this is the year of the back up QB!

If the Seahawks lose to a Jimmy Clausen-Bears team they are rightfully & truly fucked.
I honestly can't even imagine it.
I'd probably think hard about firing Pagano right now. Let's be honest, he only has his job because of cancer. Thank God he survived that, but were he a healthy man and the Colts had to choose between Pagano and Arians the choice is fucking obvious. God what I wouldn't give to watch an Andrew Luck career guided by Arians. It would be as magical as Godgers + Clements.
The_Darkest_Red

Agreed. He is as lame a duck as they come. If you want any chance of salvaging this season you should get him out sooner rather than later. Best case with him sticking around is a quick playoff exit anyway.
Luck + Arians is the stuff dreams are made of.
That said, you always got pissed at me for saying "fire Philbin" without having a replacement in mind. So who's your Pagano replacement?
Fuck, now that I say that I'm terrified of the Colts giving the HC job to Clements.....
Obviously you give Pep the first shot. That's why I would fire him now. Give Hamilton almost a full year.
Clements, McAdoo, Philbin, Bevell, Reich would probably be my top five choices with Chud being a strong dark horse. I want someone who knows how to develop a QB and has mastered an offense that Luck would fit in. Since he can fit in pretty much any offense that should be easy to find.
My dream scenario for a team like the Colts right now would be to try and hire Bevell/McAdoo and Sean McDermott as co head coaches essentially. Their ages and stages would make it possible, cost wise. And the owner is a lunatic so he'd probably be thrilled to go out of the box with a dual HC strat.

Wait a few weeks, the reduction in practice time has definitely led to poorer early season play overall. Around week 5-6 the quality of play increases and the better teams rise to the top. Granted, PHI needs to pick up a win otherwise regardless of how talented they are, starting 0-3, 0-4 and guys will start checking out and just showing up to collect their paychecks.
I think Bell is going to get more carries and the start but Deangelo is going to get his fair share and he might get more goal line carries. I think Deangelo is going to be a better back in short yardage situations while Bell can obviously break more big runs off and is fucking a killer in the passing game.
Its been a long time since our defense has had athleticism.
We have had veteran guys who knew what to do but their bodies were not up to the task.
Now we have a lot of young guns but they are learning the defense and how to get better as players.
I do agree that the line has been getting a good push for the first two games. And the LBs are killing it. We just need to figure out how to cover receivers and tight ends. The season is young though.

No shit both of those guys have their jobs on the line right now. Going on past history with Suh those reports are more probable than not.
Bad qb plus bad oline means they have no chance. Especially since the defense isn't anything special.
Texans should have kept Fitzmagic.

Not with Fitz at QB, he has those Fitzmagic moments, but he's more Fitztragic than magic...Belicheck will put him in his place in the playoffs, and the Jets long SB drought will continue..
