Title: 2009-2010 NFL Season
Post by: SKO on September 22, 2009, 08:05:44 AM
Just so the Bears thread doesn't become overloaded. Did anyone watch the game last night? How the hell do the Dolphins start a drive, down 4 pts, with 3:17 left in the game and not go into the hurry up until after the friggn' two minute warning? Considering Chad Pennington's incapable of a pass deeper than 25 yards maybe, just maybe, you should try to conserve as much clock as possible?  They made Lovie's clock management against Green Bay look downright admirable.

I'm watching the SC highlights of their last drive and the commentators are baffled. What the hell were the Dolphins doing?

All I can see is Chad Pennington's flickering lightbulb hanging over his West Virginia Sisterfuckin' Mouthbreathin' head.

I didn't see the game, but how could a team possibly have the ball for 45 minutes in a 60 minute game, only turn the ball over once, and still lose?

Well, the Dolphins had 239 rushing yards on 49 attempts which chewed up a lot of clock. And it looks like they didn't do it very efficiently. I'm no expert on football. Is it common to have 27 first downs and 21 third downs?

The problem was they froze up damn near every damn they got near the goal line and they settled for field goals because the wildcat and running every damn down failed them when they got into the red zone. The other problem was letting Peyton Manning throw it wherever the hell he wanted. He was on the field for less than 15 minutes because he scored nearly every time he was out there. The Colts last touchdown drive was 3 passes and lasted 32 seconds. The defense was just pathetic.

I think I saw that Manning had 3 TD drives that lasted a total of 2 minutes.  He really likes playing in Pro Player Dolphin Landshark Stadium

More like 4 minutes.

But, still: 3 drives, 11 total plays, starting around their own 20 all three times...

There's the very first play of the game:

1st-10, Ind20  15:00  Peyton Manning Pass to Dallas Clark for 80 yards for a TOUCHDOWN
0-0,    Mia2   14:48  Adam Vinatieri extra point is GOOD. Holder-Pat McAfee


And then their two 4th quarter possessions:

1st-10, Ind21  13:17  Donald Brown Off Left Tackle to Ind24 for 3 yards
2nd-7,  Ind24  12:37  Peyton Manning Pass to Dallas Clark to Mia27 for 49 yards
1st-10, Mia27  11:59  Donald Brown Off Left Guard to Mia23 for 4 yards
2nd-6,  Mia23  11:28  Peyton Manning Pass to Dallas Clark to Mia19 for 4 yards
3rd-2,  Mia19  10:44  Peyton Manning Pass to Austin Collie to Mia15 for 4 yards
1st-10, Mia15  10:12  Donald Brown up the Middle for 15 yards for a TOUCHDOWN
0-0,    Mia2   10:06  Adam Vinatieri extra point is GOOD. Holder-Pat McAfee

1st-10, Ind20   3:44  Peyton Manning Pass to Reggie Wayne to Ind35 for 15 yards
1st-10, Ind35   3:39  Peyton Manning Pass to Dallas Clark to Mia48 for 17 yards
1st-10, Mia48   3:34  Peyton Manning Pass Incomplete to Pierre Garcon
2nd-10, Mia48   3:29  Peyton Manning Pass to Pierre Garcon for 48 yards for a TOUCHDOWN
0-0,    Mia2    3:18  Adam Vinatieri extra point is GOOD. Holder-Pat McAfee

Yeah. Compare that to Miami's last drive alone-

Miami - 3:13  
1st-10, MIA18 3:13 R. Brown rushed to the left for 1 yard gain
2nd-9, MIA19 2:26 R. Brown rushed to the right for 5 yard gain
3rd-4, MIA24 2:00 C. Pennington passed to T. Ginn Jr. down the middle for 11 yard gain
1st-10, MIA35 1:39 C. Pennington passed to T. Ginn Jr. to the left for 9 yard gain
2nd-1, MIA44 1:33 C. Pennington passed to A. Fasano to the right for 1 yard gain
1st-10, MIA45 1:10 C. Pennington sacked by R. Mathis. C. Pennington fumbled. V. Carey recovered fumble
2nd-19, MIA35 0:56 C. Pennington passed to D. Bess to the left for 18 yard gain
3rd-1, IND46 0:50 C. Pennington rushed up the middle for 4 yard gain
1st-10, IND42 0:41 C. Pennington incomplete pass down the middle
2nd-10, IND42 0:35 C. Pennington incomplete pass down the middle
3rd-10, IND42 0:27 C. Pennington incomplete pass to the left
4th-10, IND42 0:22 C. Pennington passed to T. Ginn Jr. down the middle for 12 yard gain
1st-10, IND30 0:12 C. Pennington incomplete pass down the middle
2nd-10, IND30 0:00 A. Bethea intercepted C. Pennington for no gain

First off, your first two plays are runs? Second how the hell do you let a whopping 47 seconds go by between the first play and the second? Brutal, brutal clock management. What's sad is I'm already hearing that Pennington's on the hot seat, even after the great year he had last year, because they feel they can open up the playbook more with Chad Henne's arm. It won't work, given that Chad Henne is an overrated Michigan piece of shit just like every other quarterback to have attended that school that's Not named Tom Brady, but still shows you just how poorly people think of Chad Pennington's arm.

The first one may have been. They had a lot of success with that most of the night, but that doesn't change the fact that they should have at least been in the hurry up.

When Pennington got sacked on the last drive, he did the one thing that drives me crazy--he waited about 10 seconds to call a timeout.  At that point, fuck it--just line up and run a play, don't burn your last timeout after so much time has already run off the clock.  Either call time right away or run a play.  Of course, had that inbred hillbilly motherfapper waited one more second to call that last timeout, time would have been called by the officials on account of the Indy injury.  In fact, however, had Pennington not waited to call time and instead run to the line, the issue would have been forced, time would have been called by the officials, and Miami still would have had the last timeout in their picket.

Also, Ted Ginn's gotta make that catch.  It was well-defended but in that situation, you can't let a 5th string D Back (or whoever that scrub was) outmuscle you for the game-winning TD.

Yeah, from he quick recap I saw on SC this morning they should have been.

Unrelated note, Jason McKie is tweeting about poor old Plax today and responded to me saying he deserves what he got and more IMO.  Not as cool as Mr. Cutler responding to Andy, but hey, it's something.

Just so the Bears thread doesn't become overloaded. Did anyone watch the game last night? How the hell do the Dolphins start a drive, down 4 pts, with 3:17 left in the game and not go into the hurry up until after the friggn' two minute warning? Considering Chad Pennington's incapable of a pass deeper than 25 yards maybe, just maybe, you should try to conserve as much clock as possible?  They made Lovie's clock management against Green Bay look downright admirable.

I'm watching the SC highlights of their last drive and the commentators are baffled. What the hell were the Dolphins doing?

All I can see is Chad Pennington's flickering lightbulb hanging over his West Virginia Sisterfuckin' Mouthbreathin' head.

I didn't see the game, but how could a team possibly have the ball for 45 minutes in a 60 minute game, only turn the ball over once, and still lose?

Well, the Dolphins had 239 rushing yards on 49 attempts which chewed up a lot of clock. And it looks like they didn't do it very efficiently. I'm no expert on football. Is it common to have 27 first downs and 21 third downs?

The problem was they froze up damn near every damn they got near the goal line and they settled for field goals because the wildcat and running every damn down failed them when they got into the red zone. The other problem was letting Peyton Manning throw it wherever the hell he wanted. He was on the field for less than 15 minutes because he scored nearly every time he was out there. The Colts last touchdown drive was 3 passes and lasted 32 seconds. The defense was just pathetic.

I think I saw that Manning had 3 TD drives that lasted a total of 2 minutes.  He really likes playing in Pro Player Dolphin Landshark Stadium

The only thing I thought of'd.

Saw on the local Detroit morning newscast that the Lions game will be blocked here on Sunday since they failed to sell the last 10,000 tix to the game.  That's just funny.  What sucks is they're showing the Stillers/Bungles game at 4 instead of the Bears so I'll have to find a bar with NFL Sunday Ticket to watch it and just hope the Lions fans have filed out by then so I can get a table.

I don't see why.  If you're paying for every game on every sunday, then you should get every game, every sunday.

I just saw that on NFL.com.  That's fucked up.  They will show the game on NFL.com on a delayed stream free in local market but I'm guessing that won't be until after the game is over.  They did say you had to head 75 miles out of the area to get out of the black out.  Guess I won't have any problems getting a table at the bar.

Since the Lions game was blacked out here in Detroit, Fox aired the Min/SF game (nothing on CBS).  The announcers mics were muted the entire game which I believe was to further punish Lions fans.  Not only did they miss their team actually winning at home (and tix were going for $10 day of), but they got a half busted telecast of the only game being shown.

Since the Lions game was blacked out here in Detroit, Fox aired the Min/SF game (nothing on CBS).  The announcers mics were muted the entire game which I believe was to further punish Lions fans.  Not only did they miss their team actually winning at home (and tix were going for $10 day of), but they got a half busted telecast of the only game being shown.

Good of Jim Schwartz to have his team share the celebration with such great fans.

It was rather entertaining at the bar I went to so I could catch the Bears game.  All during the 4th quarter people were filing in telling them to put the Lions game on. 

Dude, it's blacked out.

No, they're on right now!

Dude, it's blacked out because you people don't go to the games.

It's blacked out here?

Dude, it's blacked out.

I was in detroit this weekend. Sweet Jebus is getting drunk cheap. It was $10 for a bucket of any 5 beers.

You think that's really cheap?  Man, some you guys really ARE completely oblivious to the 'uburbs.

Had lunch at the Hop Haus in Rogers Park yesterday and got buckets of 6 Budweisers for $12.

Methinks BH spends too much time at Excalibur.

How much are glow sticks at the hop haus?

After listening the Stockton and that mope they paired him with, I think muting the mics were likely the only favor the NFL did the folks from Detroit.

Well fuck the Pack. Looks like the Bears are just gonna have to settle this thing Cutlero a Favreo and settle things man to man with the Vikings. How awful is the Packers offensive line? 20 sacks in 4 games. That's on pace for 80 sacks, which I think would be record. If I'm not mistaken, the 2002 Texans currently hold it with 76.

On the way home, I caught some of the game on Westwood One. Kevin Harlan said the first place Vikings were ahead of the second place Packers.

That pissed me off, as tiny mistakes seem to do. In what world is a 2-1 team ahead of a 3-1 team?

Going into the weekend, the stat sheet had the Packers in second place due to head-to-head.

You expect Harlan to pay attention to anything other than what he has to do?  You really think he can walk and chew gum breathe at the same time?

Was Kyle Boller the QB that NFL scouts were raving about when he came out because he was able to kneel down on one knee at the 50 yard line and throw the ball between the goal posts?

Boller could throw it through the goal posts on his knee from 50. Russell could throw it 75 flat footed and 50 on Both knees. The question is- 2007 QB Class- Quinn and Russell- Worst Ever? or does 1999 win out based on sheer volume of suck (Couch, Smith, McNown) or is it 2002 (Carr, Harrington, Ramsey)?

Or how about the time during a drill when Russell's receiver juked left and Russell threw a ball to him that went out of the stadium. The scouts really went nuts over his arm strength on that one.

The Pillsbury Throwboy.

I thought he was the Hefty Lefty.  I guess he's big enough to merit two nicknames.

From the wikipedia:

QuoteDue to Lorenzen's considerable girth, he has been given a collection of nicknames, which include: "Quarter(got)back",[3] "Hefty Lefty",[4] "The Pillsbury Throwboy",[5] "The Abominable Throwman", [6] "J.Load",[7] "Round Mound of Touchdown", "Tubby Gunslinger" [8][7]"BBQ (Big Beautiful Quarterback)"[9] "Battleship Lorenzen",[10] "Butterball",[11], "Lord Of The Ring-Dings"[12], and "He Ate Me".[13]

Winner?

Profootballtalk.com confirms CBS analyst Boomer Esiason's report that JaMarcus Russell has been fined heavily for tardiness and weight problems.
Russell has reportedly missed multiple team activities, and his behavior was described as a "pattern not an aberration." Every bit of Russell's progress from late last season has been wiped away by a lost offseason and horrendous play early this year. Once again, there's no light at the end of the tunnel in Oakland.

This thread caused me to think a bit.  LSU, for all of their winning over the last ten seasons, has turned out very few legit NFL studs.

Joe Addai, Dwayne Bowe, LaRon Landry = pretty good
Bradie James, Kevin Faulk, Eddie Kennison, Josh Reed = not bad
Jarvis Green, Devery Henderson, Randall Gay, Marcus Spears, Randall Clark, KEVIN STELTZ! = Meh

You consider first-rounders like Russell, Glenn Dorsey, Buster Davis, and Michael Clayton....appear to be big-time legitimate busts.

Here's the complete list as compiled by Football Reference.  Not particularly impressive.

Kevin Steltz might turn out to be decent if given an opportunity to play and put his heady, ball-hawking grit and long flowing blonde locks on display. Not so for his twin brother Craig on the Bears though. That guy sucks balls.

Has LSU produced busts on a level above other top universities?

I'm asking, not attacking here....seems like if you isolate any major collegiate program like USC (Bush, Leinart, Jarrett, Williams) or Texas (Young, Simms, Benson - albeit slight recent vindication, Sweed, Tubbs) you can find plenty of major busts, mostly just due to the large number of guys from those schools who were actually drafted.

Get his completion percentage into the 20s?  He's down into the 30s, so maybe it could happen.  

Really, that's stunning.  Joe Mauer gets basehits at only a slightly lower rate than Russell completes a pass.

Okay, if you're going to call someone a huge bust, I think you have to look at not only their career, but who the team passed up at the same position.  You'll always find guys at other positions who had more impact (such as saying you should take Calvin Johnson over JaMarcus), but you have to at least assume, on face value, that the team had committed to taking a QB (in this case).

And, as much as Leaf and Russell are terrible, terrible players. look at the options taken after them:

Leaf:
Batch
Mighty Quinn
Griese
Hasselbeck
Moreno

Russell:
Gay Quinn
Kolb
Beck
Stanton
Edwards
Stanback
Rowe
Smith
Palmer
Thigpen

Just saying that the Raiders and Chargers didn't exactly leave the next Joe Montana out there while taking their crappy QBs.

Also, pretty bacon that 3 of the guys on the '98 list ended up playing for the Bears.

Why not trade the pick then? Or... I dunno.... draft somebody at another position who isn't a bust? I know we're talking hindsight but your lists don't really mean anything other than the drafts were weak at QB.

Charlie Batch was a good QB, and I'll fight that to my very grave. Also, Kevin Kolb has looked pretty damn good. It doesn't really matter who was coming after them though. Leaf is listed as the biggest bust of all time because he just is, even though very few people blame the Chargers for Taking him. He was a "can't miss guy". It doesn't change the fact that he sucked eggs that people thought it was the right pick at the time.

Was Kyle Boller the QB that NFL scouts were raving about when he came out because he was able to kneel down on one knee at the 50 yard line and throw the ball between the goal posts? 

I thought that was Jamarcus Russell.  Or maybe Jamarcus Russell Elton Brand was the one who had scouts raving about the size of his momma's hands. 

Kyle Boller, Jamarcus Rusell.  What's the difference, really?

Jerry Krause'd.

I think that was Tyson Chandler's mom's hands.

Please don't correct me unless you're actually going to, you know, correcting me. (http://url=http://www.desipio.com/?p=480)"

QuoteWe hate Duke because Elton Brand's mom had big enough hands for Jerry Krause to draft Elton, but not big enough to keep him.

*Not that I recall the joke from Andy (it was Boers and Bernstein) but that was the only Google hit that led me to such a reference.

Fine, that should be "correct me".

Now THAT'S more like it.

This thread caused me to think a bit.  LSU, for all of their winning over the last ten seasons, has turned out very few legit NFL studs.

Joe Addai, Dwayne Bowe, LaRon Landry = pretty good
Bradie James, Kevin Faulk, Eddie Kennison, Josh Reed = not bad
Jarvis Green, Devery Henderson, Randall Gay, Marcus Spears, Randall Clark, KEVIN STELTZ! = Meh

You consider first-rounders like Russell, Glenn Dorsey, Buster Davis, and Michael Clayton....appear to be big-time legitimate busts.

Here's the complete list as compiled by Football Reference.  Not particularly impressive.

http://www.pro-football-reference.com/colleges/lsu/


Alan Faneca is pretty good.

He is.  I missed him.

Edwards to the Jets is a good move. Playing in Cleveland has more or less sapped that guy of his work ethic and will to live. I wouldn't be surprised if he has a great year with the Jets. The best part about Crabtree signing is that by most reports he didn't gain a damn thing through the hold out except a 6th year, and there's no more guaranteed money in the deal now than there was in July. Nice job by the 49ers to wait that one out.

Update: Apparently the Browns got Chansi Stuckey, a special teams player, and a 3rd and 5th round pick. That's a pretty good haul.

I think that third round pick can become a 2nd round pick depending on Braylons performance this season.  So how quickly did he get snapped up in everyones fantasy leagues after the announcements?

What really cracks me up about Crabtree is how much money he lost out on by missing 4 games already.

Ask Thrillho.

Just more of a comfort level thing.  I'd prefer the Bears play a decent team coming off a win than off a loss because they may not be playing as urgently, especially coming off a big divisional win on the road.

I would prefer Atlanta to win as they play the Bears next, but I'm otherwise opposed to giving advice in games where people are actually laying down some cake.   My advice?   Stop giving us a peephole into your degenerate habits.

What does Atlanta winning this game have to do with their game against the Beloved?

Ask Thrillho.

Just more of a comfort level thing.  I'd prefer the Bears play a decent team coming off a win than off a loss because they may not be playing as urgently, especially coming off a big divisional win on the road.

The original QuoteFAIL was mine, as I hit the button twice and quoted Huey twice, so I went to fix that by erasing one of the quotes, which apparently messed up the HTML and took away that fancy purple box. I assume Huey just quoted my QuoteFAIL. The important thing is that Atlanta is the favorite over San Francisco in the NFC Trans Continental Division.

Hey!  In fairness, in spite of the fact that they are in fact on other sides of the continent, those two teams were in the same division for years.

(Same goes with the Braves being in the old NL West.  What the fuck was it about Atlanta that made people so geography-challenged?)

And teh Colts are in the AFC South. Yet they are very accomodating to their divisional foes, politely closing their roof lest the bitter Indiana winter give them an unfair advantage. I keep telling my friends that they should find a way to sabotage that thing and some of them wholeheartedly agree.

Geographic divisions are far more meaningless in the NFL than in any other sport, since there's no such thing as multi-game road trips (the exception being the odd occasion when a team might play the Giants and Jets back-to-back). As such, the traditional Cowboys rivalries (Giants/Skins/Iggles) can stay intact.

The Cardinals traveled east last year to play the Skins and Jets back-to-back. Stayed the whole week on the East Coast.

As such, the traditional Cowboys rivalries (Giants/Skins/Iggles) can stay intact.

The Braves and Reds were stuck in the NL East because the NL didn't want to penalize charter members Chicago and St. Louis with 27 games on the left coast. (Instead, they got stuck with 18 games out there).  How that meant the Reds (a charter franchise that never moved) would have to play in the West, I have no idea.

But, also remember that the Cubs sued Fay Vincent to stop him from forcing them to switch to the NL West for the 1993 season. It was curious why the Cubs went so nuclear on the issue, given the facts on the ground:

1) They were asked to move to the NL West with the Cardinals, who had gotten the hang of sucking.
2) The last 2 NL West Champions, the Braves and Reds, were being switched to the NL East.
3) The Braves had established themselves as the team to beat for years to come.
4) The Padres and Assholes were in sell-off mode.
5) The Dodgers were busy paying Darryl Strawberry a shit-ton of money and letting Tommy Lasorda nap in the dugout.
6) The Giants were on the verge of hiring Dusty F. Baker to be their manager.
7) The only other competitor in the NL West would be the expansion Colorado Rockies, complete with Don Baylor, field manager.
8) The NL was going to a balanced schedule in 1993, so each team would play every other team the same number of times, irrespective of division.
9) The three-division alignment was very much on the table and the writing was on the wall that the 2-division setup was going the way of the dinosaur.

Looks like a very mediocre team.  Fortunately, the west sucks balls.  Mediocre will be enough to win the division handily.

Looks like it'll be a very mediocre matchup by the lake next Sunday. Goosebumps.

Looks like a very mediocre home team.  Fortunately, the west sucks balls.  Mediocre will be enough to win the division handily.

Raheem Morris (http://www.tampabay.com/sports/football/bucs/practice-well-not-much-for-the-tampa-bay-buccaneers-and-rookie-quarterback/1048594), doing his best 1 and out effort.

Quote
"Morris' team is 0-7 and making a change at quarterback to rookie Josh Freeman. It's the perfect opportunity to make the switch, with an extra week to prepare for Freeman's start Nov. 8 against the Packers.

The rest of the team could benefit from practice, too, or so it would seem, considering the Bucs are ranked 28th in the NFL in offense and 27th in defense.

So how much work on the field did Freeman and the Bucs get during the bye week? Try 2½ hours. That's it. What's more, Tampa Bay's 65-minute practice Wednesday was mostly 7-on-7; the offensive and defensive linemen essentially sat it out."
