LOL now Yates is killing them. Tampa's D is garbage.

Ive seen a few people say this and may I ask how you could ever see him as an option? He was just a first round pick he'd cost a first PLUS more.
I doubt he's worth even a second. He's been struggling mightily. He can't even get on the gameday roster because he can't play special teams. Howie's already admitted that Smith is a real project. He won't make any contributions likely until next year at the earliest. If eagles could unload him, I think they would. They're starting to realize picking him was probably a mistake. However, even with a realistic offer on the table (like a third round picks), they would prefer to wait till next year and see how Smith has progressed. Trading your first round selection would get a lot of bad PR here in Phily.

Fleener/2nd for Chandler Jones(he can cover TE), NE needs a TE, Jones is pretty good at cover and can presure the QB.
Jones is one of the better players in the league and is a cornerstone on that pats defense. No way would they trade him. plus they have 3 tight ends already.

Remember..for better or worse..a lot of the Broncos who start Sunday weren't in Denver last year
I thik that HAS to be good
It at the least can't be worse, especially on defense (minus the current trevathan injury). Too many scrubs (through no fault of their own, they are backups for a reason) ad injured/broken down guys starting last year for the Broncos (Champ I'm talking about you). -
Did you watch the second half of the game? The fit better on stopping the run, which was made evident by the two runs for 6 yards on that final drive. And luck has always been very inaccurate throwing to people down field cause he seems to forget how to lead his receivers at times.
So two runs on the final drive for 6 yards is awful and suggets we shouldn't have run it more earlier in the game? No. If we got stuffed for no yards or minus yards, you might have a point, but 3 yards per carry is effective in terms of moving the ball. We got at least 3 yards on almost every carry all game long. I'm not just talking about the final drive, during the second half we should have ran it more. If a team can't stop one part of your attack, and the other part isn't working, you stick with the part that wasn't being stopped.

Andrew Luck is a guy that has always reminded me of a faster, more talented Ben Roethlisberger. Big, mobile, hard to tackle, and makes good throws/runs on the fly. Creative, ballsy, moves the chains. Exciting to watch. Innovative. He even makes tackles when needed. Moves fast. Elusive.
This regime has turned our franchise player into a bland, "game manager" type of QB. He's pretty boring to watch now. These geniuses are banging a round peg into a square hole and that's why Luck looks bad this year as compared to last year and even his rookie year. These bozos in charge are wasting his young NFL years.
/His hard-count is better...but overall play has regressed big time. That is NOT acceptable.
I don't think the play calling has been bad this year for the most part. I think Luck just hasn't played well. He seemed oblivious to the blitz, even though the eagles kept doing the same exact one over and over. He also missed quite a lot of easy-medium difficulty throws. I think everyone wanted to anoint Luck as the 5th best qb in the league, but it's going to take some time for him to get there, which is okay. Personally, I think we should have ran the ball even more last night. It was working, the eagles had no answer for it, and Luck clearly was off.
One slightly disturbing stat about Luck I heard on SVP on Espn today was that going back to last year, out of 34 qualified quarterbacks, Luck is the ranked 30th in pass completion percentage on throws 10+ yards beyond the line of scrimmage.

To say that not having Welker helps the Broncos just isn't reality..Peyton has had two games which, by last year's standards (with Welker) are lesser...
The Broncos need Welker on 3rd downs..He oens up the Thomas brothers..and he could be a big help to Sanders.
Seattle can handle just 3 targets....4 is a lot
You can track the games welker's missed and see Denver's production drop...clearly..
One big loss is Danny Trevethan...chasing Wilson....
I think the Seattle secondary, which felt the heat (literally) last week will be jacked up for the big challange of Denver's 4
receivers
....the big collision...Marshawn Lynch and TJ Ward.....
Talib vs.Percy Harvin Sherman vs. Demariyus Thomas
Cam Chancelleor vs. Julius Thomas
This is really good stuff
My point was that Denver has been effective with using just 3 guys and that welker coming back will allow them to be even better. If you're really good with having only 3 guys being involved in the passing game, then you'll be great when you have four guys. And this whole the Broncos have fallen off offensively just isn't true. Just look at last game. They scored 24 points but their points per possession was about 3.4 which is more than what they did last year in their record breaking year (it was about 2.7 I think). Welker will make an already dangerous offense, even more dangerous.
-
Brown wasn't, still isn't, and likely won't ever be good.
-
Losses to Ravens, at Houston, Patriots, Cowboys, Bengals, and Redskins are possibilities. At worst I see 8-8, so we should be in playoff contention easily for the rest of this year.
-
I agree. I think not having welker has helped the Broncos. Look at what Peyton has done with essentially only three receiving targets (Sanders, DT, and JT). Caldwell has been a negative for them, Tamme besides the TD hasn't even gotten another target, and the running backs haven't even been a factor. Peyton is at 6 TDs and 70% completion utilizing only 3 guys. Now throw in welker, the game tape of what Rivers did to Seattle, and you have yourself an almost equal match-up. I'm picking the Broncos, but they definitely should be the underdog. It won't be a blowout, but seattle might still win by 10 or 14, but it will be close for a while.Denver's offense had just seven posessions last week..in a 24-17 win
..Has anybody ever heard of a pro football team getting just 7 posessions in a game win or lose
Oddly...the Bronocs 'D' is preventing scoring but they aren't getting off the field on 3rd down.
The Super Bowl was a fluke..this isn't the same Denver team....
...With Welker back and the Hawks at home, I think this game is the No.1 offense vs. No. 1 defense showdown we should have had in the Super Bowl..
Because of all the law breakers, criminals, First Takers and suspensions..we wont have the buildup to this game we would normally have
-
Can someone explain to me how this works? Who's in charge of the message board? Who has the authority to close it down? I know there are mods on any board who regulate content and can relocate threads. Didn't think they actually ran it the board in terms of it operation. Is there one super mod?
-
Almost The entire country will still see it so it's not a big deal. CBS was not giving up the SB rematch.
-
Just curious but who exactly should he have gotten other than Toler and Landry? Also, Grigson signed Laron Landry after a season in which Landry made the probowl. So perhaps its not all Grigson's fault and people should get off his back and let the man do his job. He drafted Luck, Hilton, Chapman and Allen. He has put together an offensive line that, for the most part, appeared much improved and is also very young. He changed defenses and has to build from the ground up. Perhaps Werner hasn't lived up to expectations but perhaps those expectations aren't fair. Not every pass-rusher is going to be as good as Dwight Freeney and Robert Mathis who might both be hall-of-farmers. Grigson brought in Arthur Jones and traded for Vontae Davis (while re-signing him to a great deal comparatively) as well as signed Darius Butler, Jerrell Freeman and Corey Redding. In addition, he has signed undated free agents: Zach Kerr, Loucheiz Purifoy, Griff Whalen and Da'Rick Rogers. He hasn't been able to address every hole in the roster but it's unrealistic for him to have been able to in such a short time.
I agree. I love what Grigson has done for the most part. The team we had with Peyton the last couple years was not close to being playoff caliber, but Peyton and only a few other guys (Wayne, Mathis, Freeney), elevated it to a playoff level. Grigson had to scrap that horrible roster and build from practically scratch. He's done a fine good job of doing so. The only complete head scratching move was the Richardson trade.

CBS - National TV 4:25 EST
- low 80s - little wind..no chance of rain
Super Bowl rematch is the 4th meeting of Denver and Seattle (2 were exhibitions) in 2 years... but the first in the regular season
Neither Russell Wilson or Peyton Manning have thrown an interception yet this season...
The spread, I believe, is the largest against Denver since Manning joined the team.
Wes Welker will be back for the Broncos..LB Von Miller left last week's game..did not return..
his status is in doubt
I think they are ready. They may lose, but I think Peyton scores at least 20 against them. That is an improvement from last year and will be something to build on.

Boy do I love Sproles. We were so sorry when AJ Smith let him go "to get 3 players for his same cost" none of which were worth anything. *face palm*
Sproles has a special place in my nightmares. In them, he's always blowing by or juking some flailing Colts defender. Oh that's just my memory of Colts/Charger games
-
Eagles 34, Colts 31. I can see us pulling this out at the end though. Eagles are just more balanced than us offensively and I'm close to saying Chip is the best offensive mind in the game.
-
Edit, nevermind
Was going to respond to your post then saw you changed it lol.
So the question now is what kind of "discipline" involves causing a scar to above your kid's eye...not looking good for AP

I think the NFC has the most turmoil so far. But the AFC is looking like I thought it would for the most part. I still see the Broncos going 15-1 or 14-2 (if they win this week, they're going undefeated imo). Chargers are good, but they're not on the Broncos level yet. They won't win 13 games which is what will be needed to win the division. Patriots will still win the AFC East. Bills might challenge for it because of an easier schedule and if they can split with the Patriots, they'll have a shot. Still too soon though to tell if the Bills are for real. Bengals look good, but I Dalton will have his bad days that cost the team the win. They'll go at best 12-4. The colts still will win the AFC South. Texans are the only contender and I only seem them winning 8 games or 9 at the most.
NFC is wide open. Seattle, Saints, Cardinals, 49ers, Bears, Packers, Panthers, Falcons, and Eagles all have a shot. I still like the Eagles to get the 1st overall seed.
-
Interesting. I always had the 49ers above Arizona, even in the preseason when they weren't executing on offense. I know the Saints offense especially with the addition of Cooks and Rob Ryan's defense was hyped up to come together as one of the more complete teams. I don't think there are many offenses that can contend with Seattle's D. Arizona won without Palmer today, but I'm not sure who they played in week one. The way the 49ers have looked so far though I still think they and Seattle are the ones to look out for in the NFC West.
Arizona beat the Chargers last Monday, and the Chargers just beat Seattle, so that must mean the Cardinals are the best out of the three! Or not
But I do think Arizona is good enough to compete against the 49ers and Seahawks. They have the defense needed to win those games. -
I never considered the Saints as the Seahawks main competition. I had the Cardinals contending, and possibly winning the NFC. Even with all of the injuries.
I did not. I thought Cardinals were doomed with injuries. Boy was I wrong. That defense is very stout even with their losses, and they have more weapons than I realized. Floyd, Fitzgerald, Ellington, and this new kid Brown make them dangerous. I think Palmer is in a similar spot to Nick Foles. Both have teams that will win games as long as they play good, and most importantly, don't make the big turnover. I don't believe either QB has to play "great" for their team to win. I can see an Eagles/Cardinals NFC championship game. I'm still not counting out the Saints, but I think the Eagles and Cardinals (and SF) both pose a bigger challenge to Seattle.
-
Well.....standings in week 2 mean exactly......richard. But......there are a couple of teams that aren't obeying their media prognostication.
Bills 2-0
Texans 2-0
Chiefs 0-2
Saints 0-2
Which odd trend will continue?
Chiefs 0-2 will result in 5 games won or less imo. Too many injuries, and I know they made the broncos game close, but they never really stopped Peyton, Peyton just barely had the ball and penalties and negative rushes is what put the broncos in bad passing situations. And I'm not a fan of Alex Smith at all. I don't think he can carry a team.
I think the Bills can be an 8-8 team, they have an offense that works with EJ Manuel. I don't think that offense is good enough to get them enough wins for the playoffs, but I think they'll win games and they have a very good pass rush.
The Texans, I don't know. I think they have played some really bad teams and I'm not a fan of Fitzpatrick. He's doing enough to win so far, and Hopkins, Foster, and Johnson have all looked good. That D-line is still very scary even without Clowney. At the end of the season, I think it's the quarterback position that holds them back from getting 9 or 10 wins to challenge for the playoffs.
The Saints will make the playoffs imo because of the offense (and they still have Sean Payton). I still think ten wins is worst case scenario for them.

Our guys get exactly one day to enjoy then on to Buffalo. We can't overlook them as a team we're "supposed" to beat. However, I expected us to be 1 and 1 at this time, we lost one we should have won and won won no one expected (say that 3 times fast, LOL!) One game at a time...
Rivers and Gates were outstanding today. Congrats to your team. I was rooting for them and they didn't let me down

It's Rodgers biggest flaw. Everyone blames the o-line, but if you look at the vast majority of his sacks over his career, it's because he either didn't see that the blitz was coming or decided to hold onto the ball for way too long. It's a flaw common in these "more mobile" quarterbacks. Big Ben, Michael Vick, Russell Wilson, Kaepernick, RG3, they all try to make the big play and dance around. Sometimes it works, but sometimes it results in a sack and usually a fumble.
I would also disagree that taking throwing maybe 5 more interceptions over a season is more detrimental to a team than taking 20 more sacks. Peyton and Brees go the more interception route and I think it's smarter. At most, you're costing your team 5 bad plays (how did I come up with five? Well if you look at the numbers, guys like Peyton and Brees will throw about 5 more interceptions than guys like Brady and Rodgers, and imo that is mainly attributed to them not holding onto the ball and taking a sack).
However, those 20 sacks are bad plays in themselves, if they result in a fumble it's just as bad as an interception and often worse since the ball is usually closer to the end zone than when an interception is thrown). But you can't forget that the sack then also puts you at a disadvantage because you have a 2nd or 3rd and long, and if you're not careful, trying to pick up that long yardage will result in another bad play (interception, another sack/fumble).
Brady imo has done it best, limiting both sacks and interceptions over his career. A lot of that has to do with the fact that he's clearly had the best o-line of all these quarterbacks over the long run, but he also just chooses to take less chances. All Rodgers needs to do his learn to just throw it away, and he would be even better. Yes he's clearly the second best quarterback in the game, but I think if he didn't take all those minus plays, he'd be better than Peyton and there wouldn't be a debate. He has the accuracy, mobility, arm strength, and decision-making that you want, except for when he thinks he can always make the "extra" play.

Broncos (because of Tebow and then Peyton) and Eagles (my local team). I'll root for whomever is playing the pats that week too
It at the least can't be worse, especially on defense (minus the current trevathan injury). Too many scrubs (through no fault of their own, they are backups for a reason) ad injured/broken down guys starting last year for the Broncos (Champ I'm talking about you). 
But I do think Arizona is good enough to compete against the 49ers and Seahawks. They have the defense needed to win those games.

Major Props to Atlanta for not running up the score. They really are trying to just end this game, but Tama Bay can't stop them even when Atlanta's trying to help them...
