Look I'm not one to complain about a win but that was fucking disgusting. Allowing Shaun draughan and Blaine gabbert to march up and down the field was embarrassing. I know what your thinking: they only scored 13 but if you watched that game, you would see some serious flaws on defence. The offensive line was dominated And it took an embarassing 10 plays to punch it into the end zone on that crazy drive. The niners literally commited a million penalties inside the five and we barely got it in. A wins a win but the cards need to a. Hope Ellington and Johnson are good and b. Just keep improving because we look utterly average right now

Great game, awesome watch on Sunday night. Unfortunately the story was once again the incompetence of the refs. The phantom penalties on Chung and gronk were utterly ridiculous. Not to mention the clock run off was the biggest display of officiating incompetence I have ever seen. Bottom line is you have to give credit to brock, Anderson and Von miller. All of them stepped up in key spots and beat one of the best teams in the league. If your Denver, you have to give the keys to brock, you have no choice after his performance today

oh chip, you just had to fuck around didn't you. First Jackson, then maclin and then mcoy. This isn't college bud, your system doesn't transcend talent. You know what though, you've had some success but if I can predict your play calling from my chair at home you've got a problem. Run another fuckin zone read on first down, I mean every first down chip come on bud. Look, I'm not ready to throw in the towel but get some talent and check a little bit of your ego at the door. Also you don't have to run the no huddle every play. That is if you want ur defence to have any success. Stick it out bud, you built this team, see it through. Get kaep or rg3 in the offseason, grab a vet reciever and for good sakes sure up that line. You're not that far off success you winny the pooh looking fuck.

Dont love the decision. Seems like Pettine was just looking for a reason not to start the kid. He wants to win now and I cant really blame him. The Browns love to fire coaches too early and I have feeling he will be next. The logical thing would be start the kid and see if you need to draft another quarterback this year. I know the whole rehab thing presents a problem but let johnny football do his thing for at least the rest of the year. Let him party his face off and give him a long leash as a starter. Then you can say you gave him a fair shot. Ride or die with Johnny, at the very least you can say you gave him his shot. Worst case hes gone, best case hes your franchise qb. But hey this is the browns we are talking about, nothing ever makes sense

I have to say, I am pleasantly surprised. I thought it was going to take this kid a couple years to find his groove. The last three or four games he looks like the real deal. He has the bucs in the playoff hunt again and he is doing it with improved decision making. Winston is a great combination of smarts, arm talent and accuracy. You add improved decision making into the mix and you are looking at a special prospect under centre. His improvement lies with counteracting his deep shots (his strength) with the ability to take what the defence gives him. Couple that with leadership ability and a revitalized bucs team and you have a team in the playoff hunt a year after sucking their way to the bottom. The five touchdown game he had on sunday was nothing short of special. Maybe not this year, but look for the bucs to make a playoff push. Lead by their twin towers, a revitalized muscle hamster and their young quarterback, the future looks bright in tampa.

Dude why cant you just be normal. You know everyone is going to be on your dick if you are out drinking. Just do what all other nfl players (the smart ones) do, party at home. Throw a fucking house party and have everyone turn in their phones. There is a reason you are one of the only nfl players this happens to. Does that mean other guys dont party? fuck no. They just use their godamn mansions to protect their privacy. Stay home get a 30 rack and get trashed like everybody else. Am I the only one who sees the upside in this? You save money and you can get trashed without everybody fuckin judging you. I mean you think the whole rehab thing would at least make the guy a little more sneaky. Also fuck TMZ, you scumbags have nothing to do but creep on your people that you're clearly jealous of. Get a fucking life.

Look, I am all about hating the patriots but that phantom whistle might have been one of the worst things I've ever seen. Come someone explain to me how the refs can be this terrible? Shit the replacement refs would almost be better at this point. It seems every weekend there is a new terrible call by the officials that ruins a game. There was the detroit-seattle game, golden tates fake catch and now this. Can we please hold the refs responsible? I have a couple ideas: number 1. fine these fuckers 2. make them explain their actions in a press conference and 3. make everything reviewable. Coaches need to be able to challenge penalties espically ones that cost them the game. Have those annoying talking head refs review penalties. They just come on the screen and tell you what they would have done instead of actually changing shit. Dean Blandino, your the head official, maybe help these guys instead of saying "they were wrong and I cant change it". Fuckin putz. Bottom line, ...

Tough loss for a team that just cant get it right this year. However Joe Flacco leading the team to W with no knee ligaments was nothing short of sick. How about the rams just injuring everybody. They broke the ravens two offensive stars in the matter of 3 quarters. Also, they were responsible for knocking not one but two cardinals quarterbacks out of action (not to mention bridgewater). Say what you want about the rams but no one wants to face them. They will beat the shit out of you regardless.

Just capped off a two game primetime stretch that effectively proved that this team is the real deal. There were alot of questions about strength of schedule and how we would fare against a legitimate teams. All I can say is bam! I dont want to start the hype train to early but this has the look of a team that can make a deep playoff run. The depth on offence combined with the strength of the secondary and front three is just too much to overcome for a lot of teams. However, offensive line consistency and the lack of a consistent pass rush could come back to bite us. Lets just say I'm cautiously optimistic.

SO this just came out http://www.nfl.com/news/story/0ap3000000582099/article/pagano-andrew-luck-needs-to-stop-playing-like-a-lb. What a little weasel pagano is. When things are going well he does the proper things: praises his players and does not take too much credit. When things are going bad he just loves to toss luck under the bus. This is not the first time either, he critiqued luck publicly after the jets game (i think). The dude plays with no oline and shitty playcalling but yeah lets blame him for trying to make something out of nothing. Hes been hit how many times? But yeah the one time he gets injured beating the broncos you blame him for playing like a linebacker. Bud, your a defensive coach with a shitty defence. Worry about not getting fired instead of pissing off your best player.

Weird timing here. We all knew something like this was coming but to do it midseason is beyond fucked. Of course it happened to the raiders too. They were just starting to look competent again for the first time and years and then bam the curse continues. This is not to say that the raiders are destined to fall off a cliff but this is a huge blow. He and Khalil Mack were looking like one of the best rush combos in the league for a while there. Hopefully Dereck Carr can continue to be the best qb no one is talking about or the raiders might have to wait until next year to make their move into the playoffs. Also Aldon Smith is retarded. Just pay for a driver like a normal professional athlete, dumb shit.

Finally! This guy has been coasting on his reputation for years. You cant blitz every play and still win ball games Rob, fuck man. If there is one positive to this it is that a ryan brothers reunion is on the horizon. Can you imagine that, a bloggers wet dream. Lets just hope he is a linebacker coach or some shit, another dcoordinator job might ruin him for good.

What a brutal game. The kind of game that makes you question why you even watch football. Brutal drops, awful quarterback play and just a sad display on the ground from both sides. You have to give both defences some credit though, they both showed up in a big way. Not to mention TJ Yates the bengal killer. You have to give credit where credit is due, this guy learned the system in like a week and then pulled off one of the gutsiest performances by a backup qb in a while. He converted two third and longs in route to a ridiculous touchdown by deandre hopkins. Can we talk about hopkins for a second, he is a bonfide number one reciever if I've ever seen one. Three medicore quarterbacks throwing him the ball and he still puts up video game stats. This kid deserves serious praise, if the texans can get a quarterback the results could be dangerous. By the way this texans defence is being wasted by an incompetent offence that features no arian foster and one of the more exhausting qb caro...

I hate JJ watt as much as the next guy but his post game comments concerning andy dalton were the equivalent of calling someone stupid. Fuckin grow a pair andy, you lost to a shitty texans team and failed to score a td. Take the game in stride and stop bitching about game integrity and role models. You stunk, admit it. P.S. JJ Watt is the biggest try hard, hardo on the planet for you guys who blindly love him because of how good he is

The NFL admitted yesterday that the baltimore-jacksonville game was fucked. A facemask caused the game-winning field goal and a jags win. However, the nfl said the play should not have happened as time expired before the snap. Look I know you guys fucked up but admitting it when you cant do anything about it is beyond psycho. All you idiots are doing is creating another reason for everyone to hate the nfl. Like mike carey or dean blandino on my tv every sunday, its a useless bit of info that can only piss off the viewer. We know you want to explain this stuff but when no change can happen what is the muthafuckin point?

Huge win. This effectively signifies the shift in power that I've been waiting for ever since BA took over. To go into seattle and essentially crush any hope of a playoff victory for our bitter rivals was beyond huge. There are still a few things along the offensive line that need serious work but the perseverance and offensive explosion displayed by this team makes them a serious threat. The seasons far from over but a three game lead feels damn good espically with the rams quarterback issues and the niners overall incompetence.

Someone want to explain to me how a struggling seahawks team is favoured over a red hot cards team? I'll wait. How many games do the hawks have to lose before we stop giving them the benefit of the doubt? The defence has been fuckin average especially in the fourth, the oline is bad and marshawn lynch hasnt been himself lately. Look, I'm not delusional I know this going to be a hard fought, close game. However, everywhere I look people seem to think that Seattle being at home is a an automatic win, maybe two years ago. Anyways I guess we will see come sunday night but this hawks team does not deserve the benefit of the doubt, as of right now they are third best team in the division period.

The prennial tease of maryland football, not only has stayed healthy for a change but hes quietly setting the league a flame. This kid always had talent, 5 star recruit who always looked good when he was on the field. However the thing that surprised me is that he is able to great run routes and assimilate to an nfl offence so quickly. Usually these all purpose speed demons spend a season or two returning kicks and playing out of the slot while the learn the nuances of the NFL. For him to step into an outside role and unseat a couple of capable recievers to become teddy's go to target is nothing short of amazing. I dont want to jump on the bandwagon too quick here but this kid has all the makings of a number one receiver. Assuming the injury bug does not come back to bite him again.

Whats up with this fuckin guy. Hes a former safety, whos huge (6'1, 230) and all he does is score touchdowns. You guys see that stat last night? scored a td in every game hes played, thats fucking ridiculous. He's the gem this year. Every year there is some undrafted or late round back that makes every team look like an asshole for passing on him. I mean the signs were there, he was a four star safety who switched to running back at arguably the most successful school of the last 2-3 years. His stats did not look that great in college because of a frustrating time share that seems to plague most high end schools, I digress. What really jumps out at me is his explosiveness, break away speed and ability to play wide reciever. I thought david johnson was scary, this kid has to give you nightmares if your a corner trying to tackle him or a linebacker trying to cover him. Perfect change of pace from shady.

Brady this, gronk that, blah blah blah. Can we talk about possibly the most underratted duo in the entire nfl. Von Miller/ Demarcus Ware, aaron donald/ robert quinn, justin houston/ tamba hali and.......chandler jones/ jamie collins. All the focus is on the pats offence and angry tom brady but we forget that their pass defence is average as fuck. The reason no one has noticed is because chandler jones is leading the league in sacks with the quietest 9.5 sacks ever. Jamie Collins is a freak whos been a favorite of mine for a while now. The dude is a huge athlete who plays just about every position in the front seven and has had at least 5 tackles in almost every game. That includes 10 plus in two games. These guys deserve as much credit as brady and gronk do, yup I said it. Football is a two way game and its time we at least acknowledged the pats unheralded defence for a change

Devestating news for the colts. He'll be out 2-6 weeks and it comes just as we were seeing glympses of the old Andrew luck. It's just one of those years for Indy, nothing seems to go right for longer the. A week at a time. The good news is there in the nfc south, the bad news is they will be hard pressed to win a playoff game. Also if you don't think Indy is still winning this division your a psycho. In the mean time pray for the 40 year old taking his job

Dude just shut the fuck up already. I really liked the harrison and dungy combo, they were both in th nfl and they have really refreshing takes but holy shit is rodney harrison starting to get on my nerves. Dude was the dirtiest player in the league by far, yet feels the need to stick his nose in on such topics as jeff fisher's facial expressions and the dolphins "targeting" people. This was a guy who (rightfully) called out the nfl as a pansy league in comparison to when he played, which is true. Now hes doing this 360 saying the dolphins are too physical and jeff fisher laughed at his torn up knee. He probably laughed because you kept murdering his players everytime they went over the middle. Anyways get off your soap box rodney harrison. Your an old school, hard hitting, steriod loving nfl player from a day where hardhitting was celebrated. Be that guy and stop jumping on the public opinion train its a bad look for you, you fucking hypocrite.

Who saw this coming. This guy is an unbelievable running back when hes not eating everything in sight. Unfortunately he is and the packers are paying for it. This is not to say that james starks is not a capable back, hes proved this time and time again. This is to say that no running back with this amount of talent should be a fat sack of shit with an eating problem. Dont go all lendale white on us eddie lacy, you could easily have been the leader in scrimmage yards this year. Junk food or immortality and a lot of money....its an easy fucking decsion for most but I guess not for eddie

This is an interesting one. I heard to day that the lions are iffy on this guys future, which is crazy considering what they accomplished only last year. They had the game in dallas if not for a dumb call on fourth down, I digress. Finding a competent quarterback is hard enough. Blaming said competent quarterback for a lack of a running game, offensive line and a swiss cheeses defence is craziness. Jim Caldwell is a terrible coach, we knew this in indy, they just fired their offensive corrdinator and their defence lost two key pieces. This record is a complete and utter organizational problem, not just matt satfford's fault. Unfortunately we have a tendency to straight up blame quarterbacks in this situation. This is a very talented roster that just needs the right coaching. Spiraling into a rebuild one year after a playoff run is why the lions havent won anything in a long ass time...lack of confidence and continuity in their players and coaches.

I know I touched on this in a previous blog somewhere. Or maybe I didnt but that is precisely the point, im cautiously optimistic about marcus mariota right now. The reason I say catiously is because i have been down this road before with mobile option qbs. I was a big RG3, vince young and a number of other mobile qbs fan. As you can see by my examples when I jump on a scrambling qbs' bandwagon shit goes south (accept cam newton, fingers crossed). Anyways, enough of my bullshit supersition, this guy can fuckin spin it. Usually when these guys come out they put up very few yards and are put in position for easy throws and scoring opportunities so the numbers look nice. Mariota still runs a somewhat handcuffed system of option based, oregon football. What sets him apart is his ball placement and accuracy on medium-deep throws. It is well ahead of what rg3 and newtons were in their rookie years. ABove all else, i think this guy is going to be good, i just hope injuries dont do him in....

SO this was something that everyone seemed fuckin fascinated with over the weekend. Because hey lets just put wins and ability aside and look at the stats. Watch one goddamn game, cam newton is the panthers on offence. Name one receiver on his team not named greg olsen....ill wait. How about the oline surely its them....oh mike oher is the left tackle yup. So what everyone is saying is that a blind qb who struggles to win games is on the same level as a potential mvp candidate who hasnt lost a game....come on! This just proves that stats can be deceiving and idiots love to compare apples and oranges. But hey blaine gabberts backup is just as good the qb of an undefeated team, get the fuck out of here.

Ok, lets get something straight here. I see a lot of you fucking commenter/ key board activists thinking you guys know whats best for wes welker. Get the fuck out of here, hes a grown man who is 100% capable of making his own decisions. If he wants and is able to play football, all the power to him. This game passes you by quickly and his window was closing. The fact that he got a contract and still has a passion for the game is awesome. Are we getting to the point where we are in the business of telling a multimillionaire professional athlete whats safe and whats not? I sure as hell dont think so. And dont pretend like you wouldnt switch places with him in a second. You play a game and make more money then god....if you are willing and able go out there and kill it. Its worth not living as long. We cant get rid of the risk involved in employment, whats next are we going to tell miners we dont think they should make money because it hurts our feelings? Suck it up and let the man play t...

Where have the haters gone. Oh yeah, i guess its just one of those things where people cant admit they are wrong. When shit goes bad for cutler all of these fuckers come out of the woodwork and analyze his body language and facial expressions. This isnt fuckin modeling guys, either he plays well or he doesnt. RIght now hes playing well and gets zero credit. Most people hate cutler for no particular reason and frankly its hilarious. Anyways enjoy the great play of a dude with a cannon for an arm. Oh well, I guess we are going to see the haters come out after he throws an interception. Embrace the villan role and keep frowning jay, the people love it

How about that old fucker. Just consistently relevant for the last decade or so. But right now the guy is playing like his patriots days and maybe better. I know Drew Brees picks random targets and makes them look incredible (willie snead) but I think there is something to this. The guy looks revitalized. His speed is not something you would expect from a guy pushing the twilight of his career. Can he drag the saints and that terrible defence to the playoffs? That remains to be seen.

Has any qb had a worse combination of vision and touch ever? I always hated the guy but he did find ways to win by doing just enough and making plays when it mattered. It wasn't always pretty but he was a decent starter. This year, I don't fucking believe my eyes. Sure the team got a lot worse but this guy forgot how to play football it seems. He never had great eyes or smarts but he could find open targets and throw the deep ball. You would think at the very least e could manufacture some offence with his feet but holy fuck. I don't know if it's confidence or mechanics or both but this dude has fallen so far that the coaching staff sees blain gabbert as a better option. Just let that sink in for a minute

The honey badger is back. His play this year is a testament to how long most guys take to come back from an acl tear. Unless your Adrian Peterson or Carson Palmer, chances are you need a year before you are yourself on the field. The fact is this kid is dominating at corner and safety. He's got an amazing nose for the ball,  is smart, has great instincts and always seems to be one step ahead of the offence at all times. Pro football focus has him rated as the number one corner this year. Let that sink in. It's not revis, Sherman, Haden or peterson; its a part time, bareley 5'8 corner. I know I sound like a homer but this guy has to be right in the discussion for defensive player of the year. Add in his big play ability to everything I just talked about and you are looking at one of the most exciting, unique superstars out there

Finally, holy shit. Unless your a cleveland homer there were not exactly high expectations for the season. It just seemed weird that the browns were not planning on contending but refused to see what their young qb has. Instead they stuck with a journeymen who had one good year and now hes a starter again (after being a backup for years). Your a young team with low expectations put in your first rounder from last year and see what he has plain and simple. He showed major improvements when he got the call this year, hes a dumb shit but he deserves the job. This mccown injury is actually a blessing for a directionless team....see what you have and then ride with johnny or start the qb search (again)

Definitely a tale of two halves. In the first one josh mcown looked like tom brady, the offence turned the ball over way too much and the run game was shutdown. In short terrible on both sides of the ball. But once again Bruce Arians proves why he is one of the most gifted head coaches in the NFL. They come out in the second half and look like a superbowl contendor. Big plays on both sides of the ball particularly a great pick by johnson and the breakout game that micheal floyd needed. I am still a little bit worried about generating a consistent pass rush but im just nitpicking at this point. Youd think after having such a shitty team to root for all these years would make me appreciate that a win is a win.....but ive had a taste of success (a playoff trip) and goddamn did it feel good.  I'll just call it the arians-palmer effect

What a game that was. We saw some vintage andrew luck sandwiched between this new Luck that I never thought existed. Howevr, anyone who wants to blame him for the dumpster fire that is the colts needs to look at that oline and defence. Sure he has been anything but good this year but the surrounding factors such as the play calling are as much to blame as Mr. Luck is. The reality is so many good to great quarterbacks have rough years. Phillip Rivers, Eli Manning and Joe Flacco just to name a few. Dont forget Peyton (save a few moments this year), the point is this happens to most qbs. I have to admit I never thought this would happen to luck but I also thought he was a football god. Maybe I crowned him too early but the whole team is to blame here not just the embattled quarterback

First Detroit, then too many men on the field, as well as two timeouts in a row. Usually when the refs help a team they try and be discreet. But this whole give seattle the benefit of the doubt thing is getting out of hand. Their a shitty team who isnt good this year plain and simple. The officials need to get their shit together not just in a seattle game but in all the games too many official mistakes this year. I now its not easy but theres a reason we have common sense and replay. Sort this shit out.

Three rushing tds in the first half, Alex Smith looking like Mike Vick and charcandrick or however the fuck you spell it looks like the second coming of jamal charles. I know the offence hasnt been great but this defence is putrid, wide open lanes for running and putrid coverage. Any team who gives up this many yards and tds to an average backfield has an intensity problem. Sure their not that talented (espically without deandre levy) but you gotta just bare down and play with some fucking pride. Detroit looks like its on its way to a lost season and some serious changes need to be made (Jim Caldwell).

I love this guy. Blows his hand to pieces, faces a long recovery but just says "fuck it cut that shit off". He goes all Ronny Lott and only misses half a season. To top it off he thinks missing two fingers is not going to effect him. Sure lighting M80's in your hand is an all-time dumb move but you gotta love the hustle getting back. Not to mention this guy is just going around telling everyone its not going to effect him. I love the confidence but its gonna fuckin effect you, come one man. Anyways this guy is just way too talented to not stick in the league for a while. His days of dominating are over but I can see him being a borderline starter/ great backup for at least the next few years. Cant knock the hustle with this guy.

Cant say enough about this guy. Guy was average for nearly his whole career and then something just clicked for him. After he fought Cam Newton, he just went off. He's got great size, shuts down the other teams best receiver in man coverage and has great big play ability. This guy is a huge reason why a seemingly average panthers team is undefeated. Oh and did i mention he has 4 picks and 2 tds, thats some ed reed shit right there. This guy is quietly acesending to the top tier of corners and all he wants is more targets from opposing teams, i wouldnt count on it bud.

Ok so maybe the title is a little decieving. What I meant was the cards have the best backfield problem they have ever had since I became a fan (2005). This is a team that has always struggled with running back whether its been marcel shipp or jj arrington. Even when we did have good backs (emmitt smith and edge james) the oline was too shitty to get any push. Fastforward to this year and we have two starters (cj2k and ellington) and a rookie with starter potential (david johnson). The only problem is getting these guys enough touches. Its always great when you have to go out of your way to get a guy involved which is exactly what Bruce said about ellington this week. Chris Johnson has been soo good that its been tough to include a guy averaging 7.6 yards a carry! Not to mention keep a guy who is a virtual touchdown machine included. Come december this is going to be very beneficial in cold weather games. Its a great problem to have and I look forward to seeing the differ...
