Yeah he does. I wish Chicago sportswriters would pump the brakes about Jeremy Langford, though. Dude is averaging 3.5 yards a carry and dropped a game-ending pass that hit him right in the hands, and they're ready to kick Forte to the curb for some reason.

I feel like if I was a fan of an undefeated team I'd rather my team get defeated early enough to work out their flaws BEFORE the playoffs than lose in the playoffs first, or lose right at the end of the regular season from sitting starters or whatever

like that's what the Colts did that one year, they sat starters before they lost a game and then they got clowned in the playoffs

It's a really bad team that's not looking for flaws and working on them after a victory.

The Texans are going to make the playoffs and win in them as the psychological effects of JJ Watt's increasingly juvenile taunts to opposing QBs allow the team to overcome their notable deficiencies in skill and ability. First they will win in Oakland when Derek Carr throws 4 interceptions after hearing Watt call his brother "lame". Then onto a victory against the Steelers where JJ's implication of a cootie-related side effect to Big Ben's bathroom escapades proves too much for Pittsburgh to handle. And finally, in the AFC championship game, it's the Patriots who are on the receiving end of some dirty mind tricks, as JJ Watt uses Tom Brady's vain against him by calling him an "old man".

The Texans then go on to win an unceremonious and somber Super Bowl 50, dominating a shell-shocked Packers team led by Scott Tolzien after Aaron Rodgers is found hanging in his hotel room the morning of the big game, his suicide not containing but one word, "manlet", a direct quote from JJ Watt.

The Texans are 4 and 5 and beat a team that managed to only score 2 field goals at home. I doubt they beat the Jags or Titans again this year. Bortles will be drinking their milkshakes.

Rams @ Ravens - A titanic battle of a team that hates passing and a team that can't pass


Flacco is actually 7th in passing yards this season, because the defense is idiotic and the running game is bad. Unfortunately, also, the receiving corps is even worse.

God if the Ravens actually had some wideouts this season this offense would actually look Good instead of wildly inconsistent

quote:

Tennesee Titans fan Rosemary Plorin of Nashville attended Sunday’s game against the Carolina Panthers with her fourth-grade daughter. On Monday, she sent us this note she wrote to Panthers’ quarterback Cam Newton:

Dear Mr. Newton,

Congratulations on your win in Nashville today. Our team played well, but yours played better. Kudos to the Panthers organization.

That game happened to be my nine year old daughter’s first live NFL experience. She was surprised to see so many Panthers’ fans sitting in our section of the stadium; that doesn’t happen much at fourth grade football games. And she was excited we were near the end zone, so we would be close to the “action,” particularly in the second half.

Because of where we sat, we had a close up view of your conduct in the fourth quarter. The chest puffs. The pelvic thrusts. The arrogant struts and the ‘in your face’ taunting of both the Titans’ players and fans. We saw it all.

I refuse to believe you don’t realize you are a role model. You are paid millions of dollars every week to play hard and be a leader. In the off season you’re expected to make appearances, support charities, and inspire young kids to pursue your sport and all sports. With everything the NFL has gone through in recent years, I’m confident they have advised that you are, by virtue of your position and career choice, a role model.

And because you are a role model, your behavior brought out like behavior in the stands. Some of the Panthers fans in our section began taunting the hometown fans. Many Titans fans booed you, a few offering instructive, but not necessarily family friendly, suggestions as to how you might change your behavior.

My daughter sensed the change immediately – and started asking questions. Won’t he get in trouble for doing that? Is he trying to make people mad? Do you think he knows he looks like a spoiled brat?

I didn’t have great answers for her, and honestly, in an effort to minimize your negative impact and what was otherwise a really fun day, I redirected her attention to the cheerleaders and mascot.

I could tell she was still thinking about it as we boarded a shuttle back to our car. “I guess he doesn’t have kids or a Mom at home watching the game,” she added.

I don’t know about your family life Mr. Newton, but I think I’m safe in saying thousands of kids watch you every week. You have amazing talent and an incredible platform to be a role model for them. Unfortunately, what you modeled for them today was egotism, arrogance and poor sportsmanship.

Is that what your coaches and mentors modeled for you, Mr. Newton?

All he did was dance, then after like 5 seconds a bunch of Titans came over to be sad about giving up a touchdown, so Cam danced at them for another 5 seconds.

How dare he.

People like to throw around the phrase "role model" without really thinking about what it means.

If you're trying to be an NFL player professionally to the exclusion of all other life pursuits, by all means, make a football player your role model.

For most other walks of life, having to wake up at 5 AM and train for hours, live in a city that's not your actual home for 5 months, literally sleep with your coworkers for days or weeks at a time, and deal with the national media may not be a relevant role to emulate.

Tennessee is probably only about 30 years behind the rest of the planet culturally, so I imagine the Safety Dance is en vogue about now.

New topic, what the gently caress Browns?

Quick reads are out: http://www.footballoutsiders.com/quick-reads/2015/week-10-quick-reads

Roethlisberger had 380 yards passing, and...

quote:

Roethlisberger's completions, yards, and touchdowns do not include the four DPI flags he drew for another 141 yards, but those penalties are accounted for in his DYAR. Each of those DPI flags gained at least 29 yards, and they made up four of his eight longest plays passing plays. There have only been 27 DPI flags that long all season. No other quarterback has even drawn four of them all season, let alone in a single game. Carson Palmer and Jameis Winston have drawn three each; Palmer is the only other quarterback to get two in a game. Roethlisberger killed the Browns all day long with deep passes. Counting those DPIs as completions, he went 10-of-13 for 356 yards on passes that traveled at least 16 yards past the line of scrimmage. Yes, that is 27.4 yards per play.
