The Raiders are favored against the Bears by about a FG.

This is the first time they've been favored in a game since November 2013, against the Case Keenum Texans

A British reporter asked Ryan Tannehill if he could imitate the sound of the team animal and the QB made a Dolphins squeal sound.

Impressive. Your league average farter usually can't squeeze one out during a high pressure situation like a press conference. Thats some clutch farting, which should receive some higher weight on the ESPN FBR index.

neat article about the WR screen/"pick plays" GB is running that there is a lot of commotion about :
http://www.jsonline.com/sports/packers/packers-find-success--carefully--with-receivers-blocking-b99588245z1-330362051.html

Follow link for full article obviously...

quote:

Green Bay — For an NFL coach, it pays to look through the rulebook and identify gray areas because some of those things that aren't outwardly prohibited can work in your favor.

Take the wide receiver screen pass that the Green Bay Packers have been using to get Randall Cobb into the end zone.

To the national viewing audience Monday night it appeared the Packers were taking liberties with a rule that prohibits receivers from blocking opponents before someone other than the quarterback touches the ball.

But technically they weren't.

The rule states that as long as contact doesn't occur more than 1 yard past the line of scrimmage a receiver can begin blocking regardless of whether the ball is out of the quarterback's hand. If he is past 1 yard then he can't start blocking until someone other than the quarterback makes contact with the ball.

The way the Packers have used it, Cobb has lined up to the inside of one or two other receivers and then run a horizontal route behind them. As they set up a blocking wall, quarterback Aaron Rodgers fires the ball to Cobb.

It happens so quickly that before the defense can react Cobb has the ball with blockers in front of him.

"It's hard," Packers cornerback Sam Shields said of defending the play. "That's like a combination that breaks any defense."

The gray area coach Mike McCarthy and his offensive staff exploit is application of the rule. It has to be clear to the official that a violation has occurred. Typically, the play happens so quickly an early block is not detected.

"In the league they call it a 'bang-bang' play," said retired NFL referee Mike Carey, who serves as a rules expert for the NFL on CBS. "If it's 'bang-bang,' don't call it. But if it's clear the ball is not there yet, call it."

with Albert out, Wake and Vernon unable to beat single teams, Brice McCain being a literal garbage can on the field, every player giving up on Philbin, no running game or pass protection, yeah there is no reason you guys should lose the game

This is the perfect time for Sweet Thursday to launch into a poise derail.

I'm gonna go Gruden:

"Lemme tell ya Mike, if there's one thing I know, it's farts. I was cuttin'em down in Tampa Bay while this team was still in diaper shorts. To really let'em rip, your fart needs a lot of pocket presence. After the snap, I want to see some good footwork to make sure you're spreading it around to the offense. Balance is key in these situations, you're not going to want to run it on the ground every time. A good hindquarterback is going to air it out every now and then.

Back during my Superbowl run, we had a couple of muddy games. Tampa is in the tropics, Mike, so you're gonna get some moisture! And the key to half-time adjustments in wet games is to get it all out on paper, and collect your thoughts afterwards. If you can secure that, Mike, the rest of the pieces will fall into place."

Albert is out. Again. Jesus we didn't even get two full games from him.

Philbins undoing is the offensive line. Because that makes sense.

Luck is "sort of injured" on the worst week. Any other and it seems like he could play and rest the remainder of the week, but this is the time the Colts have a Thursday Night game.

He wont sit, but sit him, let him be full on ready for the Texans.
