NFL Week 5 Open Thread
In case you don't wish to talk about the cardiac Capitals opening night victory (Game Over Green!), the rainy evening in Texas, Chris Carpenter yelling at batters from the mound, or Ryan Howard's ruptured achilles (enjoy that 125 mil contract!), you can talk about football here.
AMD has the pick'em pool lead, but I'm comin' for you, bro!

RIP Al Davis, whom I'm gonna miss approx. as much as I miss Pete Rozelle
Now Earl— there’s someone to miss.
We still suck, but on Sept. 29, 2011, we did a Very Cool Thing. Yeah, we did that.

I wish i had been sober enough to start it last night, i don’t want to wait 6-8 hours

afternoon games nearly unanimous again
i switched from PIT to TEN about 5 minutes ago. glad to see there’s some debate for others as well.

Chris Wallace just owned Rick Santorum
Wallace played a clip of Santorum insisting during a recent Republican primary debate that the repeal of “don’t ask, don’t tell” was an improper injection of “social policy” into the armed forces. Wallace then presented a quote from a former military official to Santorum and asked whether he agreed with its basic idea: “The army is not a sociological laboratory. … Experiments … are a danger to efficiency, discipline and morale and would result in ultimate defeat.”
Santorum, looking uncomfortable, said that he did agree with the general idea of the statement. Wallace then revealed that the quote was from Colonel E.R. Householder, a World War II-era official whose comments were made in opposition to the racial integration of the military
Wallace can be a windbag
but he’s a smart windbag at least, and occasionally he can get off the talling points into something real.

But you would expect him to coddle Sphinctorum

Everyone that was talking about how awesome the Eagles were before the season
was ignoring the fact that they probably have the worst linebackers in the league. Anytime you have any one unit that is that bad, it doesn’t matter how good everyone around them is.
I don't know if everyone was ignoring that.
And if it’s really true that one terrible unit can’t be saved by having amazing talent some else, please look at the Colts.
Nobody knew what this scheme would look like, something Eagles fans were concerned about. Eagles fans also knew that LBs and safeties were liabilities.
As an Eagles fan, I’ve learned that for as much BS as Andy pulls on gameday, over the years that we have had him, his GM moves have paid off more than they haven’t.
Everyone that was expecting them to just steamroll the league was
And the Colts aren’t really a good example. QB is different, and you’re talking about one of the all-time greats.
Are those real people? Or people that ESPN made up? Certainly not "everyone" who were excited about the Eagles.
I guess every team has homers, but the Eagles fans I know and interact with were excited about Free Agency but well aware of the team’s holes.
He was excited about and to be a part of the talent the team was assembling
and was saying he was excited to see where they could go. Not VY apologist, but if I was in his position and just got signed by the Eagles, I would have been stoked too. He never said the team was going to steamroll the league.
If I’m honest, I certainly didn’t expect things to be THIS ugly. I also was not expecting to sleep walk through the league. There are a lot of factors playing into their current situation, and I could argue that it doesn’t begin or end at LB. Andy has won without LBs before.

I have been past it a few times
Upstate NYC is gorgeous. Great hiking, cool small towns. However a lot of those towns are very depressed economically, and Fish Kill may be one of them I don’t remember.
You’d be fairly close to Cold Spring, which is an awesome cute little town, and has a train that goes to NYC.

Jet Blue flies there, but the only has flights to Orlando and Ft. Lauderdale. It appears to be useful for caribbean vacations and not much else.

I didn't realize "entitled" was among the generally accepted labels placed on Eagles fans
I mean, there are plenty of others. But I’m not sure about that one for a fanbase that has never seen a Super Bowl.
Its absolutely true that Vick doesn't get flags that other QBs get
but it works both ways. When you’re a QB that bases a lot of your success on breaking tackles, you have to take some late hits in exchange for the refs not blowing the whistle as soon as your wrapped up. Brady might get more flags than someone like Vick or Roethlisberger, but he also ruled down as soon as a defensive player gets a hold of him. If you don’t want the whistle blown, you have to be willing to take the hits.
ohhhhhhhhhhhhh. I always thought it was because white people just didn’t understand.

let me rephrase
I DON"T FUCKING CARE
perhaps other people do.
it’s not just this thread—i get really bored with how individual fantasy scoring overtakes talk of actual games in many threads.
YMMV.

I need the commentators to stop saying
“these teams are in a dogfight”.
I know it’s a WWII reference, but it reminds me of douchebag vick
In Rob Neyer We Trust
Reminds me of the George Carlin bit
…
In football the object is for the quarterback, also known as the field general, to be on target with his aerial assault, riddling the defense by hitting his receivers with deadly accuracy in spite of the blitz, even if he has to use shotgun. With short bullet passes and long bombs, he marches his troops into enemy territory, balancing this aerial assault with a sustained ground attack that punches holes in the forward wall of the enemy’s defensive line.In baseball the object is to go home! And to be safe! – I hope I’ll be safe at home!
ahahahahaha
NYG defense thought the play would be thrown dead, and it wasn’t
beautiful

Well. I am living in the city now...
I just told my girlfriend that I may make a secret adoption of a certain local team for the season. That she can never tell anyone about…
But in practice I just don’t think I can do it. Fuck. I wish I could go back to 4 year old me and tell him to make better choices about his selections in fandom.
I saw him coming a mile away
when we played them in pre-season last year, he was an undrafted free agent, but he was making huge plays. With all the injuries at WR for the Giants, he’s finally getting extended playing time and is playing very well. I picked him up in fantasy as soon as Hixon and Manningham were both hurt. Unfortunately I had him on the bench today….fuck.
It was more like a rhetorical question,
as in, WHO IS THIS GUY? WHERE DID HE COME FROM?

Looks like no drama in the pick em league for the late games again.
Everyone with the same picks again

So who are you guys rooting for in the NE-NYJ game?
I’m going Jets all the way.
ROBERT MOTHERFUCKING ANDINO!
Definitely Jets
Ravens need some NE losses to get a higher seed in the playoffs…I really think Ravens/Pats will be the top 2 seeds
Another week that i have no chance of winning after 1PM
gained a game on the lead though, guess thats good enough
Fuck the fuckin giants
clear eyes, full hearts, can't lose...

I'd be surprised if the Ravens don't own the record currently.

Ill take it over 6/13 0TD, 1INT
And one of the “1/3” BALLS the WR straight up dropped.

Well its not exactly shocking that Orton sucks too
but i think its pretty clear the sooner Tebow moves to fullback/trick-play passer and the broncos get a real QB, the better.
Tebow isn't ready to be an effective NFL QB yet....
That being said…. Orton sucks as well, and sometimes mediocre guys deserve a shot in lieu of a better option.

So how did I not get the memo that Tampa sucked and San Fran didn't?
I mean, I wasn’t sold on Tampa, but SAN FRANCISCO?!? How did almost everyone pick them but me?

After watching them against the Eagles last week,
I’m expecting big things from the Jim Harbaugh era. I definitely didn’t see 48-3 coming though.
Hate on Tebow all you want bitches....
They were getting blown away and he brought em back in 11 minutes.

HAHA
The CW has canceled its reality stunt H8R after four episodes, which is only four episodes too late.
The series, hosted by dimple-factory Lopez, facilitated meet-and-greets between normal people who talked smack about Z-list celebrities and the celebrities about which the smack-talking occurred, the idea being that the celebrities could try to convince their H8Rs not to hate them anymore. It was all pretty stupid, really. Among the famous folks who participated were Jake Pavelka (most recently of Bachelor Pad), Snooki, Eva Longoria, Joe Francis, Kim Kardashian, and a few other chumps.
