I meant when Rodger’s went down.

 

Gosh no. Siemian is one of the worst QBs I have seen play in the NFL. He played for the Vikings in a backup role. He is worse than Christian Ponder.

 

Curtis Painter may have been better than Siemian.

I agree. I’ve seen him play in person as well as for multiple teams. He’s not even a serviceable backup in my opinion. If his number is called to be starting, something has truly gone wrong for that teams season, which I mean yeah it’s the Jets… 

 

But seriously though, he’s one of the worst QBs I’ve seen play.

Joe Flacco has been so underrated his whole career. Not a great QB but good, a lot better than Trent Dilfer was.

I think he’s being overrated a bit this season because of how bad the QB play has generally been with so many inexperienced and low caliber backups… but yeah he’s definitely better than Trent ever was. 
 

But put the Browns in a cage match against the Bills and I’m taking the Bills with Josh Allen.

What are your thoughts on the other games?

 

Did anyone see the story about the Packers suspending Jaire Alexander for the next game for conduct detrimental to the team?  What did he do wrong? He failed to say that the Packers, who won the coin toss to start the game, would be deferring to the second half.  He told the ref that the Packers would start the game on defense. I believe that because he did not say "defer", the Packers did not get the ball to start either half of the game last week.

 

It seems harsh to suspend him for that for an important upcoming game.

Bills are off their game.  It's a toss up to me.  Home field determines the winner.

I think that game would be 50/50. Flacco is a winner. I think Allen is a better QB but he has his moments where he has some bad turnovers in the playoffs.

Colts and Vikings both will win for starters, let me pause for station identification and let me think about my other locks.

He was not a captain and wasn’t supposed to be out there.

Alexander will miss Sunday's game against the Vikings.

The Green Bay Packers have placed cornerback Jaire Alexander on the reserve/suspended list for "conduct detrimental to the team" regarding his participation in Sunday's pregame coin toss before their 33-30 win over the Carolina Panthers.

Lol. Maybe I exaggerated (about his being worse than Painter), but I stand by my comment that Siemian is one of the worst I have seen play in the NFL.

    • In one of the interviews I listened to with Scott and a Tenn Titans reporter a few months back he was asked what's one of the things that separates you? He said probably what is between my ears. High football IQ, understanding of the game and instincts.
    • Agree with you on the draft takes.   For AR's season, I think mediocrity is what we should hope for( compared to other QBs). We should not forget,that this is basically his rookie season and he's still only 22. So if that would get us to 10-7.....HOORAY !
    • Less than 2 months away when the greatest crushes this Jake Paul guy. Tyson in 3. Tyson is getting in great shape, he looks fast and strong as of now.    When I list boxers where they rank all-time, I go by peak. You have to when it comes to boxing because most fighters Don't last long. Mike Tyson from 1985-1995 only lost once in 10 years. His record in that time frame was 43-1 37 KO's. Buster Douglas KO'd him in the 10th round in a fight where Mike didn't even train for and Mike actually KO'd him in the 8th, Douglas got a 13 count.    Notable wins in that 10 year frame.   Berbick Holmes but he was old, still it was Holmes. Tucker  Spinks Bruno Ruddock (twice)      
    • I'm excited about our future. I think Ballard put together 2 very nice drafts in a row. Never thought we would get Latu, thought we had a better chance at Bowers. Still holding out hope for Cross, he flashes greatness than dissappears, hope he's consistent. Hope Woods takes lead in TE room. I keep writing off Granson, but he keeps impressing. Even if Richardson has a mediocre season I think the team around him could get us to 10-7. 
    • I think you understood his words in a "positive" way, but that's not what he said.   He DID NOT say that "most of you would choose to get married..."   That's your implication. Of course, only women can bring children in this world and most of the women will choose to be married and have children, but that's not exactly what he said.   He said, "doing so - while some others will go on to lead successful career in the world - will take you closer to God's Will"    Here's what he said from the transcript:    He could've said, "even if you go on to have a very successful career, and get the greatest accolades of the world, I think the most important title of a woman is :  Homemaker. And, that would take you closer to God's Will"    But, he didn't say so because he wanted to say exactly what he believes women should do and brought God into that by saying that's His Will.    I think he made a mistake of implying that women are generally excited about marriage and having kids and being a homemaker, when that's only part of a woman's life - even though that could be the most cherished and blessed part of the life.   He only looked at how that made his wife's life - his words, not his wife's words by the way - and projected that to all the women.
