Seems to be. I flipped over to that game and it was snowing/sleeting pretty hard. I guess the 49ers are just trying to run the ball a lot? ESPN tells me that neither team completed a pass in the 1st quarter. The Bears also have 5 sacks, so maybe lack of protection has something to do with not trying to pass the ball, too.Quote:

Seems like every Chiefs game is crazy lately.
Yeah last two were nuts in particular. Reid slaughtered whoever Atlanta's coach is today. Made a lot of good decisions and the gameplan was sound.
Still lose in first playoff game.Quote:

Penn State tears tho.
Those are always great.
Only missed two games in the pickem this week. If only I didn't forget to make my picks last week... would still be in first or very close. FeelsBadMan
I made some pretty dumb picks this week.
PSU fans are incinerating atm. They just can't fathom how they didn't get in when they "beat tOSU and it wasn't a fluke" and Clemson and UW "don't have any quality wins". Please disregard the fact that PSU lost 2 games.
Wentz threw 60 passes today? Lol. Wtf?
Hope Thomas recovers and doesn't retire. That Kam/Thomas/Sherman trio would be nice to see at least for a couple more years.
1-11. Just shoot me now. I have absolutely zero motivation to watch this shit show.
Earl is pretty weird. Overreacting to this seems like something he'd do. I can imagine he's really bummed out and depressed about breaking his leg.Quote:

Don't see the big deal with a rookie starting in week 2. For someone who preaches about Romo's health you'd figure you'd support him trying to stay healthy instead of making excuses for him.Quote:

Sano, you do this thing where you quote and specifically reply to a post without actually replying to it. You do it a lot. This is a perfect example. You said Wilson's numbers are similar to Taylor's and Smith's this year. That's true.
The reason is because he played half the season injured. That's also true. It's not for a different reason. Wilson is a better QB than both of them. You know it. Everyone knows it.
I said maybe Wilson should have sat when he got injured. Part of me wanted him to, and part of me hoped he'd just play through it. But why did the conversation turn to that? Who cares what I wanted? Who cares if he did or didn't?
Point is, you made a statement about his performance droppping off this season and I explained why. That's all.
Wilson is in the tier below rivers/manning/Stafford probably

EDIT: "But Sano, look at how many interceptions Russell Wilson doesn't throw!" - If only everyone else had Marshawn Lynch(or similar) as their running back to start their career.
Man, our offensive line is so terrible. They were called for holding like 4-5 times, and honestly they were holding on like every play. Marshall Newhouse is a backup. Ereck Flowers is struggling, and the other guys haven't been great or anything. Eli played badly, but it's to be expected somewhat when he feels the pressure so much.
I think our defense played well. We lost 3/4 of our defensive line starters, which is a big part of why Le'Veon was able to put up so many yards (a bunch came on their final, clock killing drive as well). But we held them to only 2 offensive TDs (21 points was a safety, 2 FGs and 2 TDs, they failed to convert on a 2-pt). The safety was terrible for the gamescript, it was a hold in the endzone very early in the game. The hold was like a 4 or 5/10 in terms of severity, and then later in the game their tackle also held in the endzone, it was more like a 7/10 and didn't get called.
Hate to be that guy but it really did feel like the refs were not on our side. They got away with several holds on offense, usually against Vernon who their left tackle clearly couldn't block very well - he had 2 sacks despite all the holds. They also failed to call DPI a few times when it was pretty obvious in my opinion. In fairness our defense got away with a few things but this didn't feel like an evenly called game to me.
How do Bengals fans cope knowing they have the second coming of Palmer as their QB already? Regular season stud but abysmal in playoffs.
Blake Bortles has more pick-6s than victories
how fucking funny is that
Bortles is the world's oldest looking 24 year old.
I wonder due to the Seahawks defense, how many extra possessions have been gained for Russell and the offense, as well as starting field position.Quote:

He scrambles well to pick up yards, and scrambles extremely well to make throws. He's probably the best in the NFL at throwing on the run and turning broken plays into big gains. And his receivers know he does this and don't give up on routes, so they are ready to complete those downfield throws. All that said, him being injured early in the year not only hurt his scrambling ability, but a big chunk of his passing game that comes outside the pocket. He's still young, and I think he'll improve as a pocket passer as he ages.
I can't speak for all Bengals fans, but I won't be able to cope with much of anything until we fire Marvin Lewis. He just doesn't get the best from his players. He's a pussy and everyone knows it.Quote:

He is? Good God.Quote:

Worried about this game. The best matchup our D line had against the Cowboys O Line was JPP vs Doug Free. Now we have backups rotating in that slot.
Shoulda been worried before that :PQuote:

Alex smith looks fucking locked in.
Yeah he does. What a great pass.
Like, I know I'm the first one to shit on Alex Smith but Andy Reid has found a way to not make him bad. He's looking very good right now and the KC secondary is eviscerating OAK's WRs
Dude, I can't believe how fast Hill is. Can't.
