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.

Star-divide

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

by zknower on Oct 9, 2011 1:22 PM EDT reply actions  

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.

by kba26 on Oct 9, 2011 1:24 PM EDT up reply actions  

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.

by Nafer on Oct 9, 2011 1:46 PM EDT up reply actions  

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.

by kba26 on Oct 9, 2011 1:48 PM EDT up reply actions  

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.

by Nafer on Oct 9, 2011 1:52 PM EDT up reply actions  

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.

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.

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!

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.
