ZOMG you found highlight of him throwing the ball deep!!!

By that logic Chris Johnson must run for 30 yards every touch!!!!

Nice job ignoring the yards per attempt thing.

[Carp]

It is stupid to take a rb top 3 in the first place. This seems like an attempt to tank so they can draft Teddy Bridgewater. I know Clowney is a big deal but he isn't going to turn around a team like a franchise Qb can.

I still think the jags win the Bridgewater sweepatakes though. Browns probably take the next besy qb and he turns into another massive bust.

I'll laugh if Bridgewater is taken 1st overall if he's even the 1st Qb taken overall. Watching vs Kentucky he didn't impress me at all. Got pressured a lot made a lot of bad throws when he was pressured. Sure it's just 1 game, but the Kentucky defense was by far the best he's seen so far and he struggled a good bit.

I've been way more impressed with Tajh Boyd so far.

[Krovahn]

Man, really disappointed in Aldon Smith. If the charges/accusations are true on this DUI.. man, putting others in jeopardy like that. Damn.

The charges on he and Delanie Walker at the party, I can ignore, because those are speculation and highly hearsay for the most part... but, this... is rough. Not good, man.

[thethe]

Its an embarrassment if he plays on Sunday. What he did is inexcusable. I don't care how good he is, he should not be playing.

[BRule]

LOL at Harbaugh letting him play, what a fraud.

[zitothebrave]

LOL at Harbaugh letting him play, what a fraud.

I would let him play as the coach. Not my job to punish him. Have the GM or the league do that.

[BRule]

When you want to have the persona of a tough, no nonsense, hard-ass....and then you let Smith play? All that goes out the window and I can't take you seriously.

[Blumpkin]

Ok then I assume you agree that Schiano should bench Goldson for his thuggish hits the first 2 weeks of the season. I mean he is supposed to be this strict disciplinarian(of course the 13 penalties a game say otherwise)

[BRule]

So hitting people in an actual game, is the same as getting a DUI's and being caught with drugs? Cool

[Blumpkin]

Giants > Pats

[Blumpkin]

So you are a mod here and edit peoples post? Ok PD, well done

[Heyward]

So you are a mod here and edit peoples post? Ok PD, well done

Yeah, basically, he's a fake, tough guy.

Did the same to me.

I don't see the big deal, let Goodell/NFL punish him if anything at all.

[Blumpkin]

Yeah, basically.

Did the same to me.

I don't see the big deal, let Goodell/NFL punish him if anything at all.

I actually read that entire b!tchfest thread about PD editing peoples post, etc. Then Bravesrule edits others on here? No hypocrisy huh

[BRule]

LOL OMG I EDITED A POST WITH AN OBVIOUS JOKE

Glad to see you haven't become less of a pu$$y in the 2 years you've been hiding....

Hopefully your racist, homophobic and other stupid jokes have improved.

[TURBO]

Think Gronk plays tomorrow?

LOL @ hiding. Yes, 2 child births, a kid in college, a 2000 mile move, running a business. Yes I have been hiding from an internet message board where nobody knows anyone

[Blumpkin]

Think Gronk plays tomorrow?

No. I knew we would suck early but should be a real good team come December

[TURBO]

No. I knew we would suck early but should be a real good team come December

Yeah I am all for taking it easy with Gronk. Luckily we got a soft schedule to start the year. Hopefully one of Thompkins or Dobson steps up. Cant believe we got one game out of Amendola before he got hurt. Thats always the risk with him

[BRule]

LOL @ hiding. Yes, 2 child births, a kid in college, a 2000 mile move, running a business. Yes I have been hiding from an internet message board where nobody knows anyone

Awesome

He's already been ruled out I believe.

[BRule]

Damn, BRule owned.

LOL TOTALLY, DUDE, TOTALLY

Latest thing I saw was the Pats were leaning toward not starting him.

Awesome

Yes like you ran like a little bitch when your boy Tebow tanked, after you blew him for 2 months.

[Blumpkin]

If gronk was to go on the field it would be more of a decoy. I honestly would put money that no way he plays. He was rushed back and he reinjured the forearm last year. then the back injury, etc. He is essentially the JD Drew of football, when he plays he is one of the best but he can't stay healthy.

[GMAJAH25]

LOL @ hiding. Yes, 2 child births, a kid in college, a 2000 mile move, running a business. Yes I have been hiding from an internet message board where nobody knows anyone

2000 miles eh...do you think thats enough?

Run and hide online...pack up and hide in your real life.

But yeah, 2000 miles should do it. You shouldnt run into any co-workers, family, etc

Facing embarrassment has been avoided......for now.

Hey how's baseball going? LOL

Waits for lame arm injury excuse that stopped you from being next big thing

[Blumpkin]

I don't always agree with Michael Irvin but he makes some good points. "No way do you put Brady in this position with these receivers. Total disrespect"

Totally agree, Brady is one of the top 3 best ever, has maybe a few years left, brought the franchise to prominence and this is how they reward him? lets also not forget the biggest thing, taking less money and restructuring(he makes 1 million this year) so they can make the team better. They still have 14.5 million in Cap, well done Belidick/Kraft

[yeezus]

Welker didn't want to go back because Belichick is a dick.

[Blumpkin]

Welker didn't want to go back because Belichick is a dick.

That is true. A lot of people think we just low balled him, we didn't. He didn't like BB. The personnel problems started when the GM left and BB took his job. Before, Pioli would challenge BB and help make decisions. There is nobody left to do that. Sure we have gotten lucky in the draft a few times since he left(gronk, Ridley, mayo) but other than that it has been a disgrace in my eyes. He has this obsession with Rutgers University(whose football team sucks) and at one time this year we had 14 of the 21 Rutgers players in the league,on our team. There are only 2 good Rutgers players in the league, Ray Rice and Kenny Britt(when he isn't in trouble) yet BB still keeps signing them. He is a frickin moron

[Heyward]

Welker didn't want to go back because Belichick is a dick.

I've always thought this too.

They did low ball him though.

[Blumpkin]

Denver offered a little more but NE offered more guaranteed money IIRC

[BRule]

Someone should take Roddy Whites computer and cellphone

What a moron

[Blumpkin]

what he do?

[Heyward]

Denver offered a little more but NE offered more guaranteed money IIRC

They Offered 2/12, Pats offered 2/10.

Not much more.

Brady has maybe 3-4 good years left, why not pay a guy he had ridiculous chemistry with, was his security blanket on 3rd downs.

I've seen some Pats fans saying they are planning for the future, Welker is 32, age is just a number.

I saw 2/10, but that wouldn't surprise me either.

They offered him more last year, I think 2/18.

I've said many times he just doesn't like Belechik.

[Blumpkin]

I think the young guys will be better as the season goes on. One thing I will say is that I have never seen Brady have multiple guys who can get separation deep. If gronk can stay healthy(big if) and Amendola aka "Glass Danny" can get on the field, we will be good later on. The defense has played fine but then again Geno Smith and EJ Manuel are not exactly Brees/ Manning. I think they will be ok today since Freeman is awful but next week at Ryan will be a real test

[Heyward]

Broncos tried to trade for Joe Thomas but were turned down, among other teams.

Not even sure what they offered, probably their 1.

[cajunrevenge]

Meachem TD, thanks Chargers.

[thethe]

RG3 still struggling to find that effectiveness from last year.

[yeezus]

RG3 still struggling to find that effectiveness from last year.

Soph. QB who didn't play any pre-season and coming off an injury. Not sure why that wasn't expected to be a huge problem. This is the NFL.

[bravesnumberone]

Lol the Giants are awful.

Hoping my Falcons can get a win at Miami today if we have enough players...

[TURBO]

RG3 needs to learn to slide

[zitothebrave]

#ELIte

[cajunrevenge]

The only thing worse than being really bad is being really bad and not even getting a high draft pick. This must be karma from the Ricky Williams trade where the Skins drafted Champ Bailey and then had the second and third pick in the next years draft.

[zitothebrave]

NFC Easy with 2 0-3 teams. Best division in the NFL!!!!

[bravesnumberone]

Wow at the Redskins.

Falcons off to a good start. Need to punch another one in.

[thethe]

Holy crap Luck is good.

[zitothebrave]

Holy crap Luck is good.

Luck is gonna be the best QB in the NFL in a few years.

[bravesnumberone]

Ugh. Hate when we can't put one in the end zone and immediately let the other team fly down the field and score.

[Bj1133]

Really important that the Bears beat Pittsburgh tonight - got to create as much room between them and GB as possible

[bravesnumberone]

Damn I just realized GB blew that game against Cincy.

[bravesnumberone]

Damnit, Falcons. This is what bit us in the ass against NO.

[bravesnumberone]

And now Miami ties it. :mad0182:

[bravesnumberone]

More field goals. Need the defense to step up here.

[bravesnumberone]

We just cannot convert on fourth down when we need it. And now we miss an easy field goal. ****ing brilliant.

[TURBO]

Not impressed with SF offense.

[bravesnumberone]

This is why you can't ****ing just kick field goals. Way to go, Falcons.

[zitothebrave]

Phins played the better game. Have to score more points. But on the bright side at least the Falcons aren't getting abused at home. Best QB in the NFL!!!!!!!!!

[AerchAngel]

My wife just asked me, "why do people think the 49ers are good?"

I said. "They and their QB is overrated"

I think I am the only one to pick them to lose this week because frankly, they are overrated.

[bravesnumberone]

This is two away games in a row, we've blown a 10-point lead. Injuries hurt us, but Christ, we've got to convert on third downs when we need it. Next week against the Pats looms large now.

[AerchAngel]

CKaep best in the league..........

LMAO

He is not even in the Top 10 considering what he has accomplished. The Colts came into their yard and RAPED them. An AFC team who people think are weak this year. LMAO.

Bummer is that Gronk should be back. Ryan has to be damned near perfect and you can't rely on that yo win.

You will beat them, the Pats are not that good. Look who they have beaten while struggling and by how much. Buffalo, Jets and TB, teams that Alabama could hang with.

[AerchAngel]

...and rusty. He is just one guy and he is not Thor or Superman. No worries, you can beat the Cheatriots.

Two brutal losses in a row where Kaep did nothing. Ouch.....

[TURBO]

...and rusty. He is just one guy and he is not Thor or Superman. No worries, you can beat the Cheatriots.

Patriots will beat the Falcons next week.

[bravesnumberone]

Gotta say a month ago, I wouldn't have seen the 49ers being 1-2 and the Dolphins being 3-0. Strange season already.

And that's not a knock on the Dolphins. Knew they had a chance to be decent at least.

[bravesnumberone]

Patriots will beat the Falcons next week.

If it's close, they will. Because the Falcons can't close a damn game.

[sturg33]

Beating the Skins on the road without Reggie Bush and throwing a pick 6... I'll take it!

[Heyward]

Aldon suspended indefinitely, per Jed York.

His locker cleared out.

[zitothebrave]

...and rusty. He is just one guy and he is not Thor or Superman. No worries, you can beat the Cheatriots.

Gronk is a freak. He may be rusty but a rusty gronk is one of the 10 best TEs in the NFL. Since a healthy one is far and away the best.

[zitothebrave]

Aldon suspended indefinitely, per Jed York.

Rehab is the rumor. I presume he couldn't say no, no, no.

[Heyward]

Gronk is a freak. He may be rusty but a rusty gronk is one of the 10 best TEs in the NFL. Since a healthy one is far and away the best.

Fortunately if he plays, he will be on a limited snap count at first.

But a tough matchup if he plays.

Falcons play Graham a lot whose better IMO so they should have a gameplan for him.

[AerchAngel]

Patriots will beat the Falcons next week.

Cheatriots haven't played anyone yet. And the teams they beat......barely.

Falcons will win.

[AerchAngel]

Gronk is a freak. He may be rusty but a rusty gronk is one of the 10 best TEs in the NFL. Since a healthy one is far and away the best.

There aren't 10 good TE's in the league.

It is he.
Graham











Gates
Gonzalez
Davis
Witten


And these four are south of being elite now.

[zitothebrave]

5 best whatever. Healthy Gronk is insane. Beyond insane. I never saw a guy who could just dominate the game like he could.

[Bdawg2309]

"Since beginning of 1990 season, teams to start 3-0 in NFL make playoffs 75% of time (2-1 make it 54%, 1-2 24%, 0-3 3%)"

Whitten may not have the natural talent of the others guys, but he broke the record for receptions by a TE just last season. I'd put him right up there with any TE in the league in terms of production.

[Tapate50]

I heard they offered more as well.
He just didn't want to be there.

Probably had a lot to do with the message they sent him at the beginning of last year taking him out of the gameplan before his Free Agency. Well, that bit em back. When one TE gets arrested for murder, and the other can't stop nailing porn actresses long enough to get the VD infection out of his arm, you get in trouble quick I reckon.

Was a bad offseason for the Pats, but they will be right there when it comes down to it.

[Tapate50]

Can't lose as many players as we have and still expect to roll over the division. Unless we start getting healthy (which I doubt) quickly, we will compete for a wild card and thats about all. I am as big of a Falcon fan as anyone, but we have been decimated.

I don't know how anyone could watch that game and say that the Dolphins were the better team all game long. Quite the opposite. Falcons were the better team all day long unitl that drive to end it, even then we had a few third downs to get the stop. The dolphins were beat in most phases until 4 minutes left.

[yeezus]

NFC Easy with 2 0-3 teams. Best division in the NFL!!!!

Who said this? All I heard all off-season (and all I said all off-season) was that there's no really good team in the division and anyone could win by default because of it.

Yeah I agree. I knew it'd be tough with the injuries, but at some point you've got to finish games, and you've got to finish drives. Still a ton of tough games to get through. At this point, I'd be thrilled with 10-6 and a WC berth. I didn't even think we'd win much more than 10 games before the injuries.

Give me a break with the injuries.

Every team has them, Saints have more than the Falcons and are 3-0 right now, dumb excuse.

[TURBO]

I think the Pats should give the Browns a call and ask about Gordon.

[Heyward]

He's a strike from a year suspension, it depends on the cost.

It isn't an excuse for the L, it is a fact of the game that has impacted them greatly as to why we are seeing the outcomes we are. Who expects to beat a good team on the road with 36% of their starting lineup on IR (Vegas didn't)? They don't have a AAA affiliate to draw from and call up seasoned players. They have 6 injured starters on Offense. Just lost 2 starters more on D, including their best defensive player. Samuel (their best corner just came back). They have UDFA rookies starting. They will get better, but they were better for 55 minutes than a team that is now 3-0. The world is not ending, but they aren't going to win 13 games and steamroll the division this year with all that. They will hopefully get to 9 or 10 wins and be in the hunt for a WC. It is just reality with those injuries.

The Saints beat us at home in a close game, and played the Cards and someone else not worth a **** (Tampa!). Lets not go anoiting them SB champs just yet. Make em play some tough teams first. They are taking care of business though as expected. The Saints also didn't lose Graham or a guy named Brees, so they will be fine. Brees is in another world out there.

I think the D takes a few steps back as the schedule toughens, but they have responded well to Rob's mixture of tranny cocain partys so far. Have you seen that dudes' conversiosn van?

[Tapate50]

Patrick Willis looks like he is going to miss some time. Harbaugh talking about activating John Baldwin and Nnamdi is hurt as well (which actually may help the defense oddly).

trouble in Smugtown?

Saints have lost Will Smith, PRob, Vilma, Victor Butler, as well as some other players on defense.

And no **** they haven't, Falcons didnt lose TonyG or Julio, or Ryan.

Falcons could easily be 3-0, I'm not sure they only win 9-10 but like the Niners, can't get into too big of a hole.

Regards to the Saints, you're right, next 3 games, vs Mia, and at Chi and NE will tell how good they are.

Other teams have suffered a ton of injuries too, so I don't see the excuse for it.

Like I said, against a good team they had 36% of their starting lineup on IR. They were the better team for 55 minutes. Not sure what you want me to tell you, but in the NFL...that happens. Welcome to the NFL, but you have to adjust expectations when your guys go down. There aren't just replacement players sitting at home waiting on a chance. The quality decreases with every injury in 90% of cases.

none of those players you listed hurt for Nola even equal Spoon's loss either.

Reality needs to set in with you. Falcons are thin, and don't have quality backups. Peyton Manning could blast teams in the face without a center, but the one they have is playing good ball. That is a quality replacement level player. There aren't those just knocking on the dome door.

It isn't an excuse, but it happens and should affect expectations.

Niners and Falcons are both at 1-2. So while Ryan has been playing HoF type football..his team is no better than Kaeps.

Brady will go down as one of the best quarterbacks ever. Comparing him and Kaepernick is pointless.

[Heyward]

That's not the point.

And wasn't Kap going to be the best QB all time, at least that's what I heard all offseason.

Fact remains good QB's make weapons, not other way around.

[gilesfan]

Matt Stafford and Tim Tebow say "hi." (see Thomas and CJ)

[TURBO]

Yeah Moss made Culpepper look good.

[Bdawg2309]

only 2 starting QB's left without an INT

manning and captain check down alex smith

[sturg33]

Matt Stafford and Tim Tebow say "hi." (see Thomas and CJ)

LOL.

RG3 has the "best offense of all time" and he still sucks

[zitothebrave]

Yeah Moss made Culpepper look good.

Moss when he started his career could have made Mark Sanchez look awesome.

[Tapate50]

Thethe, don't worry... the NFL is one of those games that humbles prognosticators the world over. A team can go worst to first with just a few breaks one way or the other. Plus, its not like Zito's record for calling performance is any good either.

I'm not worried. 49ers just need to make the palyoffs and I'm sure they will. Then they hopefully will have a healthy Crabtree/Davis/Manningham to go along with a motivated SOBER Smith. Kaep has hit a rough patch but right now his options are extremely limited. He will be fine and I still feel the same way about his future.

Yep, its called being a fan and in my book you are a good one. If I ever looked at sports like some of these gibronis do, I would stop watching. It saps the fun from sports something fierce.

[GMAJAH25]

Kap can you do it for me this week???

PLEASE!!!

[Bdawg2309]

Dawson caught the "akers"

[zitothebrave]

Kap can you do it for me this week???

PLEASE!!!

This is my plight with Vick.

[thethe]

The offensive line has sucked this year for the 49ers.

[thethe]

Man, Kaep is now second guessing himself. He looks awful.

[TURBO]

Man, Kaep is now second guessing himself. He looks awful.

I thought on that 2nd down play he should have taken off with the ball

[thethe]

I thought on that 2nd down play he should have taken off with the ball

Yeah, the mindset to not allow him to run as much is hurting him.

[Bdawg2309]

lol wtf?

[thethe]

lol wtf?

Just an example of how poorly the team has played the last two+ weeks.

[thethe]

FINALLY! Throws with confidence.

[TURBO]

Boldin looks good this year.

[thethe]

Whitner makes up for it there!

[GMAJAH25]

This ****ing sucks!!!

[TURBO]

This ****ing sucks!!!

As a kaep owner, the 2nd quarter is very encouraging. Played with much more confidence.

[GMAJAH25]

Frank Gore touchdowns are never good. I feel they will bleed that clock in the 2nd half...and I need 30

[GMAJAH25]

He still looks scared....at least freakin run man...

He's scared when option 1 is covered....then he rolls but is scared to take off...then he panics and makes a bad decision.

[zitothebrave]

Need Tavon to get some points.

[thethe]

He still looks scared....at least freakin run man...

He's scared when option 1 is covered....then he rolls but is scared to take off...then he panics and makes a bad decision.

Hard to argue with this. I think the last quarter could help change things.

[GMAJAH25]

It will help from a 49ers win perspective. Obviously this first half is hurting my fantasy outlook.

Kap with 8
My opponent with 49ers D with 8

Damn!

[TURBO]

I started Kaep and Boldin. Boldin looking good.

[thethe]

I'm crazy encouraged by the defense. To be without your two best defensive players and still put up a dominant performance is awesome.

Cory Lemonier looks awesome. Might be a steal from this years draft. I love the early returns so far. Reid/McDonald/Lemonier. Patton hasn't done anything int he regular season so far but I liked what I saw out of him in the preseason and the two top talents (Tank/Lattimore) aren't going to even play this year.

[Heyward]

It's the Rams offense, chill.

Still not better than Seattle.

[TURBO]

It's the Rams offense, chill.

Still not better than Seattle.

All he said was he was encouraged. Whats wrong with that.

[thethe]

Brutal. Could have put the game away with a TD on that drive.

[Heyward]

All he said was he was encouraged. Whats wrong with that.

Rams gave up 175 yards to Murray.

Kap did look ok but it's basically Boldin and ???

[thethe]

Wow, this was great to see. Very nice game from Kaep today.

[Bdawg2309]

and the rams are back to sucking again
week 1 win
week 2 loss by 7
week 3 blowout
week 4 blowout

[zitothebrave]

Throw the damned ball to Tavon Austin.

[thethe]

Lemonier looks awesome. Haven't missed a beat without Aldon.

[GMAJAH25]

I figured Kap would run.

RG3 I saw some potential for hesitation...but this sucks.

[thethe]

I figured Kap would run.

RG3 I saw some potential for hesitation...but this sucks.

I said they wouldn't run with him as much but I never thought this. I think its a mistake.

[GMAJAH25]

Good lord.

[GMAJAH25]

Block the damn punt and put a little fear in that 49ers offense. Or Tavon just take it back

[TURBO]

Good lord.

He had Davis deep

[TURBO]

Block the damn punt and put a little fear in that 49ers offense. Or Tavon just take it back

This. I want the Rams to score quickly

[GMAJAH25]

Bradford just looks terrible.

He has a good team as well.

Looking like a huge waste of money.

[zitothebrave]

Well if the Redskins suck hard enough they can get Bridgewater. Bradford probably wouldn't be much of a cap hit at this point I imagine.

[GMAJAH25]

WTF kinda route combo was that

[Heyward]

Well if the Redskins suck hard enough they can get Bridgewater. Bradford probably wouldn't be much of a cap hit at this point I imagine.

Not sure Jax passes him up but stranger things have happened.

[zitothebrave]

Not sure Jax passes him up but stranger things have happened.

Jax drafted Gabbert, he needs more time haha.

And Bradford is a twatwaffle. Last time I listen to yahoo's suggestion. Austin was a good play my ass. Should have left Nicks in. Watch him blow up.

[NinersSBChamps]

49ers needed a game like this. A dominating defensive game albeit against the awful looking Rams. I was wrong about them being a surprise so far. Kaepernick did his best Alex Smith game and it was just what the offense needed. More Gore and the rushing attack were severely lacking. Staley is okay apparently as well. The extra rest will help him out.

[thethe]

Much needed win. Rams look horrible. I wouldn't give up on Bradford yet because they just can't run the ball at all.

Either way, the defense consistently caused pressure with 4 down lineman without Aldon Smith and I think Tramaine Brock earned some more play over Nhamdi soon. Just beat Houston next week and weeks 2/3 can be forgotten.

[Bj1133]

These Thursday night games have been terrible. Not sure why the league doesn't manipulate the schedule so that these games are played by teams coming off a bye. Next week's Browns-Bills game should be a doozy

[zitothebrave]

Thursday games should be abolished. Quite simply it's a travesty. I agree about teams coming off the bye because it's about the only fair way to do it.

[ESP47]

They're giving every team a chance to play in primetime so that means there's going to be some mismatches. If you don't like the Browns-Bills match up then don't watch it. Watching football is better than not watching football.

[acesfull86]

I'm with zito...I'll check in on the game because it's Thursday night and it's live NFL, but I don't think the scheduling is conducive to good football. I'd much prefer having all Sunday games and MNF.

[Bdawg2309]

i can bet that browns-bills game will be better than any of the past 3 thursday games this year

[Heyward]

Only decent games are NO/Atl, Cin/Mia, and maybe SD/Den.

[sturg33]

Missed a little bit... did GF say something stupid??

[zitothebrave]

Seems like the league foud a new revenue stream. Fines collected every season since 2010

2010 - 3.16 M
2011 - 7.30 M
2012 - 13.57 M
2013 - 6.17 M

Seems like the NFL's goal is to bankroll their lawsuit with fines to players. Hopefully the NFLPA sees this trend and fights the NFL next time around. They're taking way too much money from the players while reaping the benefits.

if players don't f*ck up, we wouldn't be worrying about this. They have a brain unless concussions knocked some sense out of them. Play right on the field, play right when off the field and you won't be fined.

[zitothebrave]

10K for one play? Unless it's McDonkey Suh dirty then it shouldn't happen. These guys have been playing a certain way (the way the fans like to watch) for years.

Some guys are getting fined for making clean plays. Eagles LB who knocked out floyd followed the rules and made a clean play FLoyd just happened to fall into a bad position. I think he got a 15K fine.

Wahhhh wahhhhh wahhhhhhh

Aren't you one of the folks who cries about taxes? Would you happily give your boss 1% of your salary for doing your job right? I'm OK with fining guys for **** behavior, fighting, dirty plays, etc. But if someone is playing good football and a bad circumstance happens (like a guy breaks down for a tackle and the WR slips and causes a nasty blow to their head) why are they getting fined?

Only dumber **** is the NFL fining guys for wearing unlicensed ****. Do the players get a cut of their deal with Nike? If they do then whatever, if they don't, then the NFL is scummier than I thought.

At least baseball hasn't been totally ruined for me like Goodell is doing for the NFL. I swear every year goes by and I'm less and less interested in professional football.

[Heyward]

Gronk and Amendola out Sunday.

[TURBO]

Gronk and Amendola out Sunday.

Really thought Gronk was gonna play in this one. I think the Pats may lose. Hate hearing all the reports that say Pats are saying Gronk has been healthy enough for a week or 2, and that it is Gronk and his agent that are keeping him off the field. Love Gronks talent, but getting tired of the more off the field news with him.

[thethe]

,If that guy is healthy you have to do whatever it takes to keep him. Prior to his injuries he was not only one of the top TE's in football, he was probably a top 5 weapon in all of football.

[Heyward]

Agree with thethe, would it be nice for him to play, of course.

But why risk him playing if he's not 110%

Was gonna be tough to win regardless, Atl is really tough at home, especially off a loss.

IT is interesting about all these comments coming out now.

[thethe]

Are we going ot start hearing about how loaded the Chiefs are to explain why Smith is doing well?

[NinersSBChamps]

Are we going ot start hearing about how loaded the Chiefs are to explain why Smith is doing well?

Well Donnie Avery is the second coming off Jerry Rice, so there is that.

[zitothebrave]

Are we going ot start hearing about how loaded the Chiefs are to explain why Smith is doing well?

Chiefs are pretty damned loaded. Charles is a great back, Bowe is a great WR, and their options after them are pretty good as well. Adding Smith and Reid was more or less what they needed. Not gonna say it's a direct comparison since Brees and Ryan are way better than Smith but it's not too distant than when Brees/Peyton or Ryan/Smith joined their teams that were not good before they got there. A good coach and a good (or at least competent) QB make a huge difference.

[thethe]

I guess its possible that Smith is a good QB.

No way. :rock:

He is solid for sure. Glad to see him doing well.

[thethe]

No way. :rock:

Still remember how many laughed when I said the 49ers would got a second round pick for him. I mean, I guess I ended up being wrong.

[NinersSBChamps]

Still remember how many laughed when I said the 49ers would got a second round pick for him. I mean, I guess I ended up being wrong.
Yeah it's looking like two second round picks. HOLLAR!

[NinersSBChamps]

AP with an impressive 60 yard run across the pond.

[zitothebrave]

And there it is. Smith is a good QB. Not top 10 but he is damn good.

Never said Smith was bad. I thought you overrated him, but he's what Reid and the Chiefs need. Someone who moves the ball when needed and doesn't make mistakes. Chiefs don't need a playmaker on their team to win. They have talent on the offensive and defensive side, they were burned last year because Cassel and Quinn were impotent. And Crenel isn't a good head coach. Replacing the 2 biggest holes with solid pieces is never bad.

[yeezus]

Yeah, Smith is solid. People think if a QB isn't Peyton or Tom that they suck. Like people around me say Romo sucks. How the hell does Romo suck? Dude puts up numbers year in and year out.

[thethe]

I never called Smith a top 10 QB. He is what I said he is in that next tier of 10. The debate is where he is in that next 10. Most of you made him out to be a bottom third QB last year. He had a great year last year.

[thethe]

BTW, I know the Texans are a goo team but its absolutely crazy how different the Seahawks are on the road. It should be illegal to pump as much noise into their home stadium that they do.

[zitothebrave]

Yeah, Smith is solid. People think if a QB isn't Peyton or Tom that they suck. Like people around me say Romo sucks. How the hell does Romo suck? Dude puts up numbers year in and year out.

Well you don't live too far from Philly metro right? If so that's why people aroudn you say Romo sucks. Until he gets a ring they won't respect him because he's a Cowboy.

[zitothebrave]

BTW, I know the Texans are a goo team but its absolutely crazy how different the Seahawks are on the road. It should be illegal to pump as much noise into their home stadium that they do.

Texans are taking the Seahawks behind the shed right now. And I'm glad. Need Seattle to lose some games so the Falcons don't have to go there after a bye.

[thethe]

Man, the Chiefs defense is loaded. Smith is the PERFECT QB for that team.

[yeezus]

Well you don't live too far from Philly metro right? If so that's why people aroudn you say Romo sucks. Until he gets a ring they won't respect him because he's a Cowboy.

I live 5 mins from Philly. I hear it a lot of places though, not just Eagles fans.

[yeezus]

Man, the Chiefs defense is loaded. Smith is the PERFECT QB for that team.

I think Peyton Manning would be perfect, or any other better QB.

[zitothebrave]

I think Peyton Manning would be perfect, or any other better QB.

Well I think thethe was more going for perfect that could be reasonably acquired. I'm sure Peyton, Brees, Brady, Ryan, etc. would be better than Smith but those guys are going nowhere anytime soon.

[zitothebrave]

My ass isn't going anywhere this week in fantasy. Have Chicago and Seattle's defenses. My only prayer is Brees and Vick go bonkers.

[Bdawg2309]

bills are pretty good.

[NinersSBChamps]

bills are pretty good.

Ravens are awful. Bills are improved too.

[zitothebrave]

Ravens are awful. Bills are improved too.

Ravens weren't very good last year, they got hot at the right time. Then they gutted their team sending off their number 1 WR and half the defense. They were gonna suck this year unless Flacco actually became a great QB. And that obviously hasn't happened.

[NinersSBChamps]

Matt Schaub is an idiot. Just blew it for the Texans.

[zitothebrave]

Well, I was totally wrong about one thing going into this season. I thought for sure the Giants would win the NFC East. But they're about as eliminated as you possibly can be. Only good thing for them is that the division leader may be 2-2 so they're only 2 games out if SD wins.

[NinersSBChamps]

The Texans need a quarterback. They have weapons and a good defense. Schaub is really holding that team back. Going to be really tough for anyone to overtake Seattle in the NFC now.

[NinersSBChamps]

Another Denver blowout. Wake me up when they actually play a team with a pulse.

[Krovahn]

Another Denver blowout. Wake me up when they actually play a team with a pulse.
The only 'tough' games they have in the regular season are the 2 against the Chiefs (surprisingly), and games against the Colts, Pats and Texans... but... the only challenge I see after these first four weeks for the Broncos might be the Colts game... even then, I don't know.

The only team I could see beating them would be the Seahawks, only if the game could be played in Seattle (this hurts saying as a Niners fan) and even then I am not sure if the Broncos would lose ... the Broncos look that unstoppable right now.

[CrimsonCowboy]

Sighhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

[Krovahn]

Sighhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

Even if Dallas loses this game, good news is that the Eagles and Giants really suck so far this year and the Redskins aren't playing much better than those two.

[cajunrevenge]

I guess its possible that Smith is a good QB.

Maybe, but good only gets you so far.

[CrimsonCowboy]

Are you kidding me????????????????:facepalm:

[CrimsonCowboy]

I swear, I root for the dumbest team in the National Football League

[thethe]

I swear, I root for the dumbest team in the National Football League

Did you watch Geno Smith today? Wow, what a dumb QB.

[zitothebrave]

Can the NFC not give the NFC East a playoff spot?

[sturg33]

How bout them Lions...

[thethe]

How bout them Lions...

Bush has been great for them and their defensive line is so impressive.

[cajunrevenge]

I swear, I root for the dumbest team in the National Football League

The Raiders?

[NinersSBChamps]

Can the NFC not give the NFC East a playoff spot?

Yeah what an awful division. 7-9 could get the winner a home playoff game.

[zitothebrave]

Yeah what an awful division. 7-9 could get the winner a home playoff game.

Team would probably win the Superbowl as well.

[zitothebrave]

Refs better not call illegal contact on the Falcons. Just saying.

[TURBO]

Losing Wilfork sucks. Held them to FG so thats good.

[zitothebrave]

Good job by the Falcons D. Brady made a mistake on that play though.

[zitothebrave]

Geez watching that hold again, geez what a dumb play by baker to hold on the backside.

[thethe]

That isn't a penalty for interfering with the punt returner?

[TURBO]

How was that not a flag?

[zitothebrave]

Stupid penalties.

[TURBO]

That isn't a penalty for interfering with the punt returner?

It was a joke of a non call. The guy even drove his shoulder into before the ball even got there.

[zitothebrave]

That isn't a penalty for interfering with the punt returner?

Blocked and the kick moved to him.

[zitothebrave]

It was a joke of a non call. The guy even drove his shoulder into before the ball even got there.

Waaah

You got a gift facemask call. And a big noncall illegal contact in the red zone.

[thethe]

Thats a blatant miss right there. The other calls are debateable.

[zitothebrave]

Thats a blatant miss right there. The other calls are debateable.

No it wasn't. The only questionable thing was him lunging with his shoulder. But if you call that then you should call holding on the return team cause he was being held.

[thethe]

Wow, that was a MANS run right there.

[zitothebrave]

Pathetic job by the defense. If the Pats throw a pass at all tonight when the D keeps giving up 5+ yards a run they're dumb.

[zitothebrave]

Well I guess I should hold off until they officially give up the TD, but it's gonna happen. Brady will probably punch it in or they'll give Bolden another crack at it.

[TURBO]

I need a Brady TD bad for my money league. Down by 12.

[thethe]

I need a Brady TD bad for my money league. Down by 12.

Ask and ye shall...whatever

[zitothebrave]

Falcons need a nice long drive here. Good news is that aside from the dumb penalties they're moving the ball well. So if they don't commit a dumb penalty they should put up points hopefully.

[TURBO]

Ask and ye shall...whatever

Down by 8. Thought 12 points would be easy. But looks like we are committed to run game.

[sturg33]

Down by 8. Thought 12 points would be easy. But looks like we are committed to run game.

I need something out of Ridley...

Looks a lot better but man that TD woulda been nice

[TURBO]

Huge stop by the Pats.

[zitothebrave]

Damn bad throw by Ryan there.

[thethe]

Matty Ice!

[TURBO]

Wow very nice play by Thompkins

[zitothebrave]

Wow very nice play by Thompkins

Yeah. What was baffling though is why they didn't blow it dead when he went to the ground.

[TURBO]

Hate settling for FG against a good offense like ATL, but at least we got points.

[zitothebrave]

Have to score a TD before the half.

[Heyward]

Are we going ot start hearing about how loaded the Chiefs are to explain why Smith is doing well?

It's a dink and dunk offense, they are good though.

[Heyward]

Still remember how many laughed when I said the 49ers would got a second round pick for him. I mean, I guess I ended up being wrong.

He's good but can't win a championship with him.
