The NFL thread

[RBP]

:idk:

Maybe, maybe not. Reid said he never had a problem with Jackson. He is getting older, but still, he put up numbers last year like he did before. Nobody wanted to trade for him, so there may be something to the personal slant. Maybe they're just trying to get him on the cheap and the front office wanted what other teams thought was way too much for a player nearing his thirties. So test the personal angle and see if the Eagles drop him and maybe they'll take a shot at him when he lowers the asking price. It did seem they were at odds at times during Chip Kelly's first season. We'll see how things shake out.

Correct me if I am wrong, but it seemed that Reid was more willing to take flyers on risky guys. Kelly seems more narrow in his definition of acceptable professional behavior.

[DemonGeminiX]

Well, that's true. Reid didn't mind dealing with the guys everybody else hated. Hell, he put up with T.O. for a while. I've never heard of any bad behavior coming out of Oregon when Kelly was coaching there.

[deebakes]

maybe he'll join the vikes :pray:

[DemonGeminiX]

Won't be much use without a quarterback that can throw well.

[DemonGeminiX]

Here's a read on him if you're interested:

Won't be much use without a quarterback that can throw well.

:snap:

[deebakes]

how was he productive the last 5 years then? :razz:

[DemonGeminiX]

:lol:

We had better QBs than Minnesota's.

[deebakes]

i know, i just couldn't think of a different response :lol:

[DemonGeminiX]

DeSean Jackson is now with the Washington Redskins. He signed a 3-year deal. Apparently, they paid a lot to get him but how much has yet to be disclosed.

Congrats, Muddy. You got a speed demon on your squad now.

This does not bode well for the Eagles who are division rivals of the 'Skins. I hope this doesn't blow up in Chip Kelly's face.

[DemonGeminiX]

According to sources, the Redskins' Jackson deal's worth $24 million.

[DemonGeminiX]

Houston #1 draft pick: Jadeveon Clowney. How do our Texas boys feel about this pick?

:-k

[deebakes]

minnesota is well on their way to fucking up another draft :sad2:

[DemonGeminiX]

You don't like Anthony Barr?

:-k

[DemonGeminiX]

RBP! Kyle Fuller? What do you think?

[deebakes]

You don't like Anthony Barr?

:-k

nope, i want some excitement on offense ffs :x

[DemonGeminiX]

You wanted Johnny Football.

[deebakes]

yep :(

[deebakes]

with the history vikings qb's in recent years, i think they are gun shy about pulling the trigger on an early pick. i could see manziel and peterson really being a good pairing to relieve pressure on each other :idk:

[DemonGeminiX]

I think Manziel might go to Arizona. Might. Do the Dolphins have a solid QB?

[deebakes]

is it two rounds tonight or just one? (i am going back and forth with the hockey :oops: )

[deebakes]

I think Manziel might go to Arizona. Might. Do the Dolphins have a solid QB?

i think they are pretty committed to tannehill, so i don't think he goes to miami :shrug:

[deebakes]

predicted here first: bridgewater will be a viking :sad2:

[DemonGeminiX]

is it two rounds tonight or just one? (i am going back and forth with the hockey :oops: )

I am too. :lol:

I think it's just round 1 tonight.

[deebakes]

i can't say i am all that impressed with ray lewis tonight :unimpressed:

[RBP]

RBP! Kyle Fuller? What do you think?

I admit to saying "who?" - don't know anything about the kid. The Bears need secondary improvement, maybe he can play safety - anything would be an improvement over Conte.

I guess am a little surprised they didn't go for inside defensive line first, but I haven't paid that much attention to the draft.

[DemonGeminiX]

Round 1 tonight

Round 2 & 3 tomorrow

All the passovers on Mother's day.

[DemonGeminiX]

i can't say i am all that impressed with ray lewis tonight :unimpressed:

Are you watching ESPN? 'Cause I'm on the NFL network and I don't see Ray Lewis anywhere.

[DemonGeminiX]

I guess am a little surprised they didn't go for inside defensive line first, but I haven't paid that much attention to the draft.

I didn't know any of these guys. I know Manziel, Mack, and Clowney and that's it. The commentators said it was a good pick for the Bears.

[DemonGeminiX]

I guess Manziel's not going to Arizona. They just traded the pick to the Saints.

[deebakes]

Are you watching ESPN? 'Cause I'm on the NFL network and I don't see Ray Lewis anywhere.

yeah, he's on espn... don't worry going there to hear the train wreck :lol:

[RBP]

I didn't know any of these guys. I know Manziel, Mack, and Clowney and that's it. The commentators said it was a good pick for the Bears.

I haven't watched. School deadlines. :| Hopefully they are right!

So, quick... make an Eagles prediction.

[DemonGeminiX]

Eagles need somebody to replace DeSean Jackson. So if Chip Kelly and Co. doesn't go WR, I have no idea what the hell they're thinking.

[DemonGeminiX]

Might need some more help in the D secondary.

[RBP]

Packers :haha:

[deebakes]

dix? :idk:

[DemonGeminiX]

He's supposed to be a good DB.

:idk:

[DemonGeminiX]

Or the Eagles could trade to the Browns. The Browns take Manziel. Has to be.

[DemonGeminiX]

Told ya. Johnny Football is now Johnny Cleveland.

[RBP]

They must have thought someone was going to take him before they had the chance. What did Philly get?

[deebakes]

shit :sad2:

[DemonGeminiX]

They must have thought someone was going to take him before they had the chance. What did Philly get?

As far as I can tell, they just got Cleveland's spot at #26.

[deebakes]

they have to be getting something more than that :-k

[DemonGeminiX]

I'm looking for it, but I'm not finding anything.

[DemonGeminiX]

They got an 83rd overall pick from the Browns.

[deebakes]

They have traded their pick to the Cleveland Browns in exchange for pick No. 26.The Browns select Johnny Manziel with the pick. The Eagles also got a third round pick (83rd overall). The Eagles now have seven picks in the 2014 NFL draft.

[deebakes]

jinx :lol:

[DemonGeminiX]

That's in addition to 26. So they get an extra pick in the Fourth round?

:-k

[DemonGeminiX]

jinx :lol:

Shit!

:meh:











:lol:

[DemonGeminiX]

Alrighty, we're on the clock. Let's get somebody.

[DemonGeminiX]

The Pick is in.

[DemonGeminiX]

:-s

Marcus who?

[DemonGeminiX]

:idk:

[deebakes]

dude looks little :idk:

[DemonGeminiX]

I'm very underwhelmed.

:|

[deebakes]

listen to this great piece of advice from ray lewis on arizona's suggested pick: "anytime you're on the west coast, you've got to draft quarterback" :rofl:

[DemonGeminiX]

:lol:

OK...

[DemonGeminiX]

dude looks little :idk:

He looks little but his bio says he's 6'3" and 252 lbs. So he ain't that little.

[RBP]

I'm very underwhelmed.

Draft Analysis:

"Marcus Smith is a pretty exciting edge player. The important thing ultimately is 'can this kid play?' They have Connor Barwin on one side and Trent Cole, who will turn 32 years old, on the other. In that scheme he's a perfect fit. The pick attacks an area of need for the Eagles, and they got some extra picks in the process." -- Mike Mayock

[deebakes]

i don't think the others on the panel knew quite what to say, but fortunately goddell was on his way to the podium at that time :lol:

[DemonGeminiX]

The Vikings traded for the Seahawks 1st round pick. Maybe they'll try to grab a QB.

[DemonGeminiX]

The Vikings pick QB Teddy Bridgewater. Louisville QB.

[RBP]

predicted here first: bridgewater will be a viking :sad2:

:lmao:

[DemonGeminiX]

You never know. He might turn out OK...

:)

[deebakes]

mother fuckers :x i go away to do some work and come back to another shitty viking draft :x

[deebakes]

The Vikings pick QB Teddy Bridgewater. Louisville QB.


:lmao:

told ya :(

[RBP]

I don't know anything about him, I just thought it was funny that not only did you predict it, they traded up to get him. I believe it was just to piss you off. :lol:

[Joebob034]

i can't say i am all that impressed with ray lewis tonight :unimpressed:

"When you combine teddy bridgewater with Adrian Peterson, it's gonna be something special". He said that four times right after MIN made the pick.

[DemonGeminiX]

And each time he said it you winced as you lost another IQ point.

:lol:

[DemonGeminiX]

Hahahaha... comment on the foxsports draft page:

"Cleveland will be calling him Johnny Bench."

[DemonGeminiX]

Brady was drafted 199th in the 6th round of the 2000 draft.
Montana was drafted 82nd in the 3rd round of the 1979 draft.
Mark Rypien was drafted 146th in the 6th round of the 1986 draft. He won a Superbowl with the Redskins in '91. Got the MVP award as well.
Joe Theismann was picked 99th in round 4 of the 1971 draft.
Bart Starr was picked 199th in round 17 of the 1956 draft.
Roger Staubach was picked 129th in round 10 of the 1964 draft.

Food for thought, gentlemen.

[deebakes]

teddy bridgewater was drafter 32nd in the 1st round of the 2014 draft. that was the highlight of his career...

[DemonGeminiX]

Bleacher Report NFL Draft First Round Report Card:

32. Minnesota Vikings (via Seattle) -- Teddy Bridgewater (QB Louisville)

Grade: A+

How This Pick Goes Right:

My top quarterback goes No. 32.

Clearly the NFL didn't agree with my board as I considered Bridgewater a lock for the top 10 just a few months ago, but he lands in a spot that will help his development.
Bridgewater runs an offense. He'll be able to master Norv Turner (http://bleacherreport.com/norv-turner)'s complicated offense with no issues. He has plenty of help from Adrian Peterson (http://bleacherreport.com/adrian-peterson), Kyle Rudolph, Cordarrelle Patterson and Greg Jennings (http://bleacherreport.com/greg-jennings). He's also got a better line in Minnesota than he had at Louisville.

How This Pick Could Go Terribly Wrong:

Teams don't like Bridgewater's size and they don't like his deep ball accuracy. In Minnesota, he'll have to play at Lambeau and Soldier Field twice every season and those could be tough games if there's inclement weather.

http://bleacherreport.com/articles/2055663-2014-nfl-draft-grades-full-round-1-report-card/page/33

[deebakes]

they also fail to mention that the vikings are moving outdoors starting this season :shrug:

[DemonGeminiX]

[DemonGeminiX]

Dee, give him a chance. I think Manziel was surrounded by hype. Let's see what this kid can do.

[deebakes]

do you understand why bortles went so early? they didn't make a lot of sense to me :shrug:

[deebakes]

Dee, give him a chance. I think Manziel was surrounded by hype. Let's see what this kid can do.

are you calling me a racist? :x

i have to give him a chance now, what other option do i have? :lol: he's our qb, so let's hope for the best :tup:

[DemonGeminiX]

do you understand why bortles went so early? they didn't make a lot of sense to me :shrug:

I don't know, but it's Jacksonville that took him. They're not exactly very good at evaluating talent as of late. Analysts were saying he was a great pick. I don't know if I believe them, but this is why I have the sneaking suspicion that Manziel is all hype. If everybody is calling Bortles and Bridgewater fantastic picks... hell, they know more than I do. I wanna see where it goes.

[deebakes]

Well... B- isn't an F.

:idk:

[deebakes]

not yet :lol:

[DemonGeminiX]

:lol:

[DemonGeminiX]

:-k

So guys, how many of those first rounders fizzle out?

[DemonGeminiX]

J-ville takes WR Marqise Lee. The Philly guys were hoping to take a shot at this guy.

[DemonGeminiX]

Eagles trade with Titans to get pick #42. I wonder who they're after?

:-k

[DemonGeminiX]

WR Jordan Matthews. I guess he's our new DeSean Jackson.

[DemonGeminiX]

Wow, Mike Singletary looked great.

[DemonGeminiX]

The draft's over. How do you guys feel about your team's picks?

The Eagles picked up 2 wideouts and a whole mess of defense. They got some picks from Buffalo in exchange for Bryce Brown, who likely would not have made the team this year after Chris Polk beat him out last year as backup to LeSean McCoy, and the acquisition of Darren Sproles from New Orleans. So we were loaded at RB to begin with. We had needs on D and I think we came away pretty good. Of course, we needed some new faces to fill the gap left by DeSean Jackson. Here we go:

Round 1: 26 Overall, Marcus Smith OLB, Louisville
Round 2: 42 Overall, Jordan Matthews WR, Vanderbilt
Round 3: 86 Overall, Josh Huff WR, Oregon
Round 4: 101 Overall, Jaylen Watkins CB/S, Florida
Round 5: 141 Overall, Taylor Hart DE, Oregon
Round 5: 162 Overall, Ed Reynolds S, Stanford
Round 7: 224 Overall, Beau Allen NT, Wisconsin

[RBP]

I don't know the prospects, but the Bears went:

Cornerback
Defensive Tackle
Defensive Tackle
Running back
Safety

I'm happy with that approach.

[DemonGeminiX]

Chicago also added a QB and a Punter (and you should read some junk on this guy, it's funny. They're saying that he benched pressed more than Clowney did at the combine)

http://bleacherreport.com/articles/2059113-punter-pat-odonnell-bench-pressed-more-than-jadeveon-clowney-at-nfl-combine

They also added an OL in the 7th.

Not a bad draft for you guys.

Sort this by team if you want to read their write ups on these guys:

Joshua Hubbard, KUSA


KUSA- The Denver Broncos have confirmed to 9NEWS that longtime owner Pat Bowlen has Alzheimer's and that he will no longer be involved in team operations.

Broncos spokesperson Patrick Smyth told 9NEWS in a text message that Bowlen will be focusing on his health.

Pat Bowlen became the Broncos owner in 1984 after he bought it from Edgar Kaiser.

He oversaw the Broncos during the team's most productive period in franchise history. He was the owner during the team's two Super Bowl Championships and 6 AFC titles.

Bowlen has been apart of more than 300 team victories in his 30 years as owner.

Ray Rice gets two games for beating up his girlfriend... one of his teammates was suspended three times longer for smoking pot... and all Sport Radio has been talking about is how some draft pick just happens to be openly gay.

I really thought they traded Conte. How does that moron keep his job??

Atlanta beat New Orleans.

[Teh One Who Knocks]

Wow, 2 totally different games in the Denver/Indy game last night. Defense looked world class in the 1st half and completely pathetic in the 2nd half. Same for the offense, but not quite as bad.

Ray Rice has been suspended from the NFL and released from the Baltimore Ravens.

Ray Rice has been suspended from the NFL and released from the Baltimore Ravens.

More hype making policy.

So the new policy is first time you beat your S.O. you get a 6 game suspension. Second time you get banned for life.

But Ray Rice got fired and banned indefinitely. Ummmm, okay?

[deebakes]

something doesn't seem right about the ray rice thing. goddell must have seen the tape before it "leaked" today and gave a 2 game to start? just today caused the release and the suspension? i think goddell is on his way out the door :shrug:

The word on "the street" was that both the team and the brass knew full well of the video way beforehand, and have even seen it, but the fact that it was leaked to the public caused them to act in the name of PR damage control. If this particular video didn't surface, Rice wouldn't have gotten thrown under the bus. And yes, I believe that is a very shitty way to go about things.

How does this change your perspective? All it says to me is that they are making political decisions.

[DemonGeminiX]

They are making political decisions. It makes me think that they're self-serving pieces of shit. It's not about what's morally right or wrong; it's about what makes the NFL look good and bad. One of these guys could be a serial killer and rapist of disabled children and the NFL wouldn't give a rat's ass as long as it didn't come back round to bite them on the ass.

Rice should've been gone when the first video surfaced and the first official facts about the case emerged back in Feb.

How hard is it to expect better of people and hold them to it?

Eh, I hear ya, but gone? Worse than the vehicular manslaughter cases? I guess I am of the opinion that the NFL is not jury and executioner.

Yes they are in the public eye, but they are also humans that have issues like anyone else.

Mandatory suspension, anger management training, and PSA's from the league is sufficient.

But I completely agree, don't sugar coat it, come out in front of the issue.

[RBP]

Terry O'Neill, the president of the National Organization for Women, has called for NFL commissioner Roger Goodell to resign, citing Ray Rice's assault on his now-wife as just one of many examples of the league's failure to act against domestic violence.

No political opportunism here... move along.

Maybe I am being harsh, but I am the son of a victim of domestic abuse. My mom used to get the shit kicked out of her by her frequently drunk step-dad when she was a teenager. My grandmother used my mom as a human shield from him. I just happen to hate shit like this.

Abuse propagates abuse. The man grew up in it. He needs long psychiatric treatment for it. It's not just a one and done thing. Anger management isn't enough. And I think the organizations you work for should expect better behavior from you. If it can happen on the outside, it can happen on the inside. It's a special case of the neighborhood disciplining you when you do shit wrong. Old school. It works the best.

Understood, so deal with the issue and get him the professional assistance he needs. He's not going to jail, that's already been decided. His wife wants him in her life. At this point, what good can come of eliminating his livelihood? Getting tough on DV, in this particular case, means hurting everyone involved while changing nothing.

[DemonGeminiX]

I think it's wrong that he's not gonna do time, or at least go on probation with court ordered treatment or whatever. There should be a consequence to the assault. If it were you or me, we'd be facing some kind of legal consequence.

I think the majority opinion would disagree with you. They're not going to want to see him on the field after this.

[DemonGeminiX]

So Adrian Peterson's out this week because he was arrested on suspicion of child abuse for whooping his 4 year old kid with a switch for some reason or another.

[deebakes]

from the pictures, it looks like he probably went too far with the "discipline". apparently this kid was from one woman, came down from minnesota to visit his "dad" in texas, and apparently pushed one of petersons other kids off a motorcycle video game :shrug:

doesn't look like it has been a good week in the nfl... too bad everyone will still watch on sunday :idk:

[DemonGeminiX]

I don't know. Not to make light of the kid's injuries but I saw the pics and thought to myself "is that it? My dad left worse on me".

[deebakes]

the pictures were taken after the kid got back to minnesota several days after the incident :shrug:

:dunno:

Wow. Just wow. The defense came up big and saved them.

The bears were 3-140-1 when down by 16.

:shock:

So much for the Broncos "new and improved" defense :|

If we play like that next weekend in Seattle, we'll get our asses handed to us again by the Seahawks. 9 defensive penalties :shakehead:

DENVER — Sunday’s game between the Denver Broncos and Seattle Seahawks will definitely be one to watch.

After all, it’s a Super Bowl rematch, and who knows, it could be a Super Bowl preview as well.

But some Broncos fans say they won’t be listening to the TV broadcast because of who is doing the commentary.

The fans are angry with CBS football announcer Phil Simms, who called Sunday’s game between Denver and the Kansas City Chiefs. It’s a game the Broncos won, 24-17.

Some say he was biased against the Broncos and intentionally put down the home team.

There was even an online petition drive started that calls for Simms to be banned from calling Broncos games. The change .org petition by the Denver City Page had more than 27,500 supporters Tuesday morning.

Simms is scheduled to broadcast the Broncos game from Seattle on Sunday.

[RBP]

The local radio broadcasts are usually much better anyway.

[Teh One Who Knocks]

Phil Sims is definitely a dumbass, but I wouldn't not watch the game because he was doing the broadcasting

NEW YORK — ESPN personality Keith Olbermann called Broncos fans who signed an online petition trying to get CBS broadcaster Phil Simms off the team’s games “morons” on his show Tuesday night.

In his segment naming the three “Worst Persons in the Sports World” on the midafternoon ESPN2 show “Olbermann,” the host named the people who signed a Change.org petition seeking Simms’ removal as the worst.

“30,000 people have signed this. This nonsense. You’re morons,” Olbermann ranted from high atop his New York studio.

The petition has since reached 40,000 signatures and continues to grow daily.

After he went on some more, Olbermann wrapped his spiel up by mocking Broncos fans like they’re a bunch of hicks living in the sticks — all while having his own “oops” moment.

“You do know if it’s really that bad to listen to your team go 10-0 (the Broncos have won their past 10 games with Simms calling their games) you can hit mute, listen to Dave Logan and Brian Griese on the radio. The radio. It’s the thing in the house that’s a TV without pictures. Today’s worst persons in the sports world.”

Yes, that’s right, Olbermann still thinks Griese is still Logan’s partner on Broncos radio broadcasts when Ed McCaffrey has been in the position since the 2012 season. Griese was the analyst in 2010 and 2011 but left to take an expanded role at … ESPN.

You know — Olbermann’s current employer.

But perhaps that great thing isn’t available to Olbermann like a TV or radio is.

Google.

He is such a retard. Nails on a chalkboard.

I don't know. Not to make light of the kid's injuries but I saw the pics and thought to myself "is that it? My dad left worse on me".
my thoughts exactly

and wrt ray rice, bitch was coming at him, not the other way around...having been on the received end of having to defend myself in the past, all I gotta say is if bitch be cray cray to the max and attacks you, then there is no reason whatsoever to sit there and take it and not defend yourself.

if I hadnt, I wouldnt be sitting here today.


the poorest thing of all is "this is fucking America" and..


GUILTY UNTIL PROVEN BEYOND ALL REASONABLE DOUBT TO BE 100% SQUEAKY CLEAN INNOCENT, and even then, TAINTED FOR LIFE.


This fuggin country has been turned upside down slowly over the last 100 years.

[DemonGeminiX]

Squeezed that one out, but not much defense to speak of on our side of things. Shady and Sproles were shut down as well.

[Teh One Who Knocks]

I turned the Denver/Seattle game off when it was 17-5 :doh:

Still lost, but I missed the comeback to get to OT :(

[DemonGeminiX]

It wasn't televised here. :dunno:

[FBD]

I wanted to stay and watch that game, but I had a show to go play. Sitting around waiting for people, as usual. I'm still kicking myself for forgetting my fucking bass, how does that much forgetz happen!

[Godfather]

Seattle-Denver game was the only one I watched yesterday but it was amazing. I wish the Super Bowl was that good

[Teh One Who Knocks]

This will sound like sour grapes, but it really isn't because I've hated the NFL OT format forever. They tweaked it now that you at least get a possession in OT if the other team only kicks a FG, but you still don't get to touch the ball on offense if the team that wins the toss takes the ball and goes down and scores a TD on the opening drive. They should just play the full 15 minute OT period and then let it end after that.

In all the other major professional sports, both teams are guaranteed a chance at an offensive possession in OT (although I guess in the extremely rare case in hockey, one team could win the face-off and score a goal in the first few seconds of OT, but that isn't commonplace at all). The NFL should be the same way.

[FBD]

I think they should get the ball on the 20 and have 4 downs, then switch. Get ahead by two and game's done.

[RBP]

Agreed. 15 minute OT. Hockey and basketball are different because you aren't guaranteed offensive possession for plays (sans turnover)

[RBP]

Reason the Bears lost to the Packers today:

1. Cutler sucks

The Jets were sooooooooo fkn terrible it wasnt even funny :haha: With no secondary, no O line, and no receivers that can catch the ball, its tough to put up more than...0 points :lol:

its amazing how some teams just fall the fug apart. cant believe how badly seattle got dominated yesterday, if it werent for special teams it would have been seen for the massive blowout it was.

38-7 at HALFTIME. The Patriots scored 3 touchdowns in 57 seconds. W. T. F.

At least I got to see what a real quarterback looks like. :|

But to be fair to Cutler, as the highest paid player in the league, he does have league leading stats. His 12 turnovers is the most in the NFL. :cheerlead:

[RBP]

Josh McCown v ATL: 27/43, 301 yards, 2 TD, 2 INT, rating 79.7 (that's 6 points lower than Jay's season average)

Bears/Packers about ready to kick off @ GB.

[DemonGeminiX]

I'm not even gonna watch this game. :lol:

Sorry, RBP.

[RBP]

:facepalm:

42-0. AT HALFTIME. Cutler is horrible even for Cutler, but the whole team is pathetic tonight.

First half QB rating: 53.7 #fatladysinging

I am also standing by my earlier prediction that Jay gets "hurt" tonight. Another abrasion to his vag that puts him out.

[DemonGeminiX]

Man, what a shellacking.

The commentators said before the game began that "Cutler was brought in to beat Green Bay". Well, he ain't doin' it.

:lol:

[RBP]

Chris Collinsworthless said "if you can't stop anything, what do you do? Maybe not come out for the 2nd half."

Prophesy fulfilled.

[DemonGeminiX]

Yeah, y'all need to start looking for a new QB.

Yes, Emery should be on the block... and frankly, Trestman too; he has clearly lost control of his team.

When the Cubs finally hired a real manager last week after three unproven nobodies in a row (and much gnashing of teeth from me), the press response was "finally, someone with a personality." Indeed and about fucking time.

We respect fire and brimstone... this town worships Ditka. Lovey was the same way... a thinker, a mellow soul. GTFO.

Darren Hartwell - NESN


http://i.imgur.com/gX8UBhs.jpg

If you're a backup to one of the best quarterbacks in NFL history, chances are you won't see the field much.

But with the Denver Broncos holding a 31-point lead over the lowly Oakland Raiders in the third quarter, Brock Osweiler figured it finally was his time to shine.

Too bad Peyton Manning had other plans.

<iframe class="vine-embed" src="https://vine.co/v/OiZYQExF7hU/embed/simple" width="600" height="600" frameborder="0"></iframe><script async src="//platform.vine.co/static/scripts/embed.js" charset="utf-8"></script>

If you watch closely, you can see Osweiler eagerly grab his helmet, only to turn around in dismay as Manning trots back on the field to throw a million more touchdowns.

Fortunately, this story had a happy ending for the Broncos backup. Well, kind of.

Osweiler entered the game shortly after and got to play the entire fourth quarter but completed just 2 of 5 passes for 13 yards, as Denver seemed content to run out the clock en route to a 41-17 win.

[Teh One Who Knocks]

Osweiler sucks anyway. I was pretty excited at first when he was drafted knowing that he wouldn't play for awhile but he had a ton of potential and would be learning from one of the best, but every time he gets on the field, he's just awful. The Broncos need to dump him and draft another QB to be heir apparent to Peyton when he's done.

[DemonGeminiX]

That gif's fuckin' hilarious.

Yeah, I know how you feel. Low key coaches are door mats. You need a coach that'll get in your face and still make you respect him and want to play for him.

If it makes you feel any better, Nick Foles is out tonight and Mark Sanchez is starting at QB for the Eagles. It should be entertaining, to say that least. The Eagles should run the ball a lot.

:lol:

Better? He hasn't started in 2 years and he was head and shoulders above Cutler this week. :suicide:

Mark Sanchez v CAR: 20/37, 332 yards, 2 TD, 0 INT, rating 102.5

Sanchez is 28 and makes $1.5M. Cutler is 31 and makes $17.5M.

As for running the ball a lot... 37 yards on 23 attempts. :-s

My conclusion from all this is 2 things: 1) Cutler sucks & 2) DGX doesn't know shit about the Eagles. :lol:

Given his past as a Jet, there's no way in hell anyone could have predicted Sanchez would've looked so good. Maybe it's the system? A decent system can make a mediocre QB look halfway decent. It helps when the D does their job too (and scores a touchdown). :dunno:

Jay Cutler: ‘I’ll Be The First Person To Admit We Need A New Punter’

http://i.imgur.com/vcSwmHT.jpg

CHICAGO—Following the team’s blowout 55-14 loss to the Green Bay Packers Sunday night, Chicago Bears quarterback Jay Cutler told reporters Tuesday that he would be the first person to admit the team is in dire need of a new punter. “It’s certainly not an easy thing to say, but at the end of the day, someone has to step up and accept that mistakes were made by our punter, Pat O’Donnell,” said Cutler, who pointed to O’Donnell’s blocked punt in the third quarter as playing a major role in the team’s unraveling and conceded that blame for the team’s loss rested squarely on the rookie punter. “Going forward, there will have to be some serious adjustments made to our punt unit—when individual players aren’t doing their part out there, we’re going to fall short as a team. Pat didn’t play well, and he needs to accept responsibility for that.” Cutler went on to acknowledge that Bears long snapper Jeremy Cain will also need to step up his performance significantly before next week’s game against the Vikings if the team is to have any chance of turning its season around.http://i.imgur.com/bPkWMTX.png
