Players who played when Brandon Weeden was young dont count.
That shit is on Williams. He wasn't where he was supposed to be. It was double-fucking-coverage and he was standing flat-footed. Williams isn't a rookie, he should know that he does not possess elite speed and that he needs to give himself every advantage that he can.

Jim Wexell was agreeing with me about Roethlisberger. He says he too routinely lets teams hang around instead of putting them out for the count. Complain about the defense all you want, but we would have been 5 and 1 if Ben was still as clutch as we insist he is.
The Steel Curtain is gone. This team can still be good, but it's up to Roethlisberger. Rodgers, Brady, and Brees all have shit defenses and find ways to win.

Blaming Ben is fucking hilarious. He's having one of his best years of his career. How in the world could anyone say hes somehow part of the problem? Maybe the defense should just do their damn job.
Well you are in luck! The Eagles can't stop the run and refuse to run the ball. Also our D plays great first half but then goes to sleep in the last quarter.
This will be the Falcons break out game which is funny to say for an undefeated team.
Yeah, I agree. I could understand if they ran that coverage on 3rd down and the Giants had no time outs, needed to get the ball out of bounds, but with 3 timeouts on 2nd down you better have faith that your DBs can do the job.

Mike Wallace had 4 drops on Sunday. Haley drew up some softballs to get him going, but mainly sent him out to get separation for the other Wide Receivers. Ben still goes to him late, he predictably drops the passes.
Dwyer is eating the shit out of the Bungholes ass. Does Ben keep the ball on him? Nope, checks to a pass, shot to Wallace, drop, drive stalled.
Situational football is important. I didn't want to believe it at first, but now I'm really starting to see that Ben is resistant as fuck to Haley's offense. At some point he, and everybody, is going to have to realize that the Steelers D isn't what it once was and as such they can't keep bailing him out. The Bengals are a bad football team. Good teams won't let you hang around and beat them up like that - you have to put them away. If he wants to keep winning games he needs to get his head out of his ass.
Bowen does guest spots in radio sometimes. Really like him. Very didactic and doesn't push a story when discussing games. Just goes with what he saw
My problem with Ben is that he doesn't seem to understand what has sunk them the past few years is HIS health at the end of the season. He's been so ineffective b/c he just can't overcome the leg issues. The old defense is a big problem which makes it even more imperative for Ben to be healthy, and that means throwing from the pocket and not holding it for 8 seconds and taking shots all game
edit: Verlander got rocked. Such a emotional blow for DET for him to lose

James Jones went as far as to threaten Jennings daughter. Despicable.

This will make a great storyline for the pregame show for the Superbowl this year.
Vick is third. Rodgers is fifth. On opposing lists.
Top two disliked are both in the NFC North. Most liked is in the AFC North.

People just hating on Quinns muscles.
From ESPN's NFCW blog.
MIN never rushed more than 4 and sacked Skeltor 7 times
GB normally rushes more than four on 42% of pass plays. Sunday they did so on 66% of pass plays, the highest total of any team last week.
Ive noticed this happens a lot with STL. Teams blitz, Rams throw hot, 5 yard gain. Teams have no fear of a big play
edit: Urlacher? Brady Quinn? How do either of those guys rise to the level of even being noticed enough to like or hate?

Was he even signed by anyone this offseason?
Just about every woman surveyed, Leinart had a one night stand with. They tend not to like you if you don't call them afterwards.
Are there that many saints fans that Drew Brees is that well liked? I didn't hate the guy before all the "wheres the evidence?!" stuff, but I'm starting to hate him now.
Also, top 3 least liked are well deserved! Leinart being so high is kinda random, lots of pissed off Cardinals fans?
He's the backup in Oakland. They're going for a trifecta of USC quarterbacks and drafting Matt Barkely next year.
???
That dumbass. Every athlete should learn the Derek Jeter gift basket method.

So uh..football, yeah!
Does that Suh more likable by sacking a disliked player like Cutler or Cutler or likeable for getting sacked by the NFLs villain?

I like football.
that last quote is incredible
:jnc
Who wants a Leinart signed football though? On second thought maybe that's why they don't like him.

Poor Cutler is liked less than a damn dog killer and is barely ahead of Suh. Thats kind of sad.

Ben is having a great season as far as staying upright goes. Haley's offense focuses on a lot of simple screens and checkdowns to keep the chains moving, and the run game is heavy on trapping and pulling guards (which is why Decastro's injury was a massive blow). Ben has only taken 13 sacks on the year, and three of them were in garbage time of the Denver game.
Haley's offense is working for Ben, and his numbers are fantastic. The Offense Time of possession is way up (only the Pats are higher) and our #1 Tight End Heath Miller is having a career year. Problem for Ben is that it doesn't feature those huge homerun shots down the field like Arians used to employ (which is what had Ben scrambling and getting sacked 5 times a game - word of warning to Andrew Luck). Ben whined to the Post-Gazette that the lack of deep stuff was on the OC, not him.
Ben has also historically wanted to throw regardless of how the run game was doing. Haley won't let him, even though in the first few games it was absolutely putrid - 2.1 YPC I think our best RB was getting. Now the O-Line has settled down and they're seeing good gains but Ben wants to throw the ball. It's that situational football that I was talking about.
I've noticed most NFL forums are very much Us Weekly types of places. It's kind of hard to find a place where people really stick to football stuff. Not that I am complaining, really, levity is needed.
There's nothing worse than know it all, frustrated, junior high coaches. Though they are probably my favorite sports radio caller. Inevitably they go to the "my 13 year olds could beat these guys"
edit: Yeah I guess I didn't make that clear. I see Ben whining about Haley's offense but it is exactly what he needed. Arians is getting Luck blasted in Indy. He throws downfield more than any QB. Nothing sinks a team like an injured QB. There's no next man up
What has he done to inspire hate? He frustrates me with his unevenness right now, but nothing to hate.
A slanger.
Cares about his teammates.
Doesn't give up on them, despite suffering injuries that require surgery later.
And that winning fat kid smile.
How can you hate this?
Unless you have an irrational hate of fat people.
