12 games out of 162 is 7.4% of the season.1 game out of 16 is 6.3%.Why isn't that a valid comparison?eta: I just wanted to say my point is, people over react too early. People thougth the Red Sox needed to fix this and fix that, well they now lead the wild card by 3.5 games. There are people calling Matthew Stafford the best qb in the nfc, saying Steve Smith is a superstar again, etc etc. I'm sure some of the things we learned this week come true, but overall things even out, and people need to relax.
Cam Newton and Pat Peterson want to call your bluff.
Pretty cool to post that up. We had a nice exchange a few days ago, props to you.
ROFL @ "give up play by the CLE defense"It was 20-17 with under 2 minutes to go and it was 3rd down. They just gave up? If so, you might wanna prepare yourself. Gonna be a long, long season for you.
This.In game I was thinking this. He's a good real life qb, but he's much better for fantasy purposes than the borderline superstar he is made out to be in real life (I think most of that is because he's Dallas's only good qb since Aikman)
And/Or the Bears Front 4 is awesome.
Peterson had a nice return, but he was used and abused all day long.
But to be fair, in our discussion you said Josh doesn't use a TE. He used one today, but Kendricks needs to make those catches. I'm not throwing in the towel after one week, but more than likely Hernandez replaces him in my lineup next week.
I'd put this more on the Jets O-line than on Greene. (Not that it will make any differance for anyone's fantasy team). Greene never had anywhere to go.
This.Greene Had very few carries to do anything with, the OLine was not doing well at run blocking at all. but people see their fantasy stats and think it was Shonn Greene who was the problem. LT didnt run well at all either, but if not for all the receiving sets, LT would have been useless as well.
This. Henry Melton is another great Jerry Angelo defensive player find in the middle rounds of the draft (like Briggs; Tillman). With Okoye now playing in a scheme he should be playing in and next to Peppers, the Bears DL will eat up a lot of teams this year.
10 Baseball games = 1 NFL game.
There's no way you just learned this tonight.
Just got re-inforced.
For me, it's not only his final statline that bugs me....it's the appearance, at least, that the staff seems to want mediocre Sanchez to be the franchise instead of a game manager. Granted, they were down 7-0, but on the Jets 1st drive, didn't they go 3 & out, all passes too lazy to took at gamelog to verify)? That's the kind of thing I'm worried about. Oh well, at least he didn't lose any fumbles tonight.
Read that the wrong way for some reason...thanks for the correction.
The Chiefs disagree..
Combine the fact that Greene does not generate his own offense with the fact that his O-Line did not provide him any openings and that the JETS have LT available for the passing downs and I think that Greene will continue to disappoint.
not so fast. Grossman still had enough time to throw for over 300 yards...Giants defensive coordinator P. Fewell outplayed the Redskins coaches..I wouldn't be so quick to dismiss the Redskins O-line just yet , especially in a game against a div foe, someone they know so well and see 2X/yr..now,if they look atrocious against Az this Sunday, you're on to something...
I'm not sure we learned that yet. Wasn't everyone expecting Philly to be a top pass defense given their offseason moves?
That fumble was an absolutely atrocious play. How the hell do you carry the ball around like a loaf of bread in that situation while trying to dive into the end zone? I couldn't believe it when it happened.
I'm not disagreeing with the statistical side of this conclusion. There are good running backs who can make a player miss and turn nothing into something. There are good running backs who can take a small hole and make a good gain. Only Barry Sanders like jitterbugs can fight off 2 or 3 defenders in the backfield to make big plays...and even then not with consistancy. The Jets running game sucks...but blaming that fact on Greene is simply unfair.Greene was consistantly met at or behind the LOS not by a single player, but by 3 or more players on almost every play. He had a nice 7 yard run late in the game when his line actually provided him a small crease. (IE:He had to run through an arm tackle instead of try to juke 3 players simultaneously).
Who would've thought that an over matched team might have a coach who would put them in a position to win. If it never works again, who cares? It worked this week and they won.I'd go so far as to say no team will ever score another TD like they have, being you know, that all situations are unique. Right?Be a smartguy if you want, but if the Bengals won't get another score like that Green TD again this decade. If the Browns hadn't committed that team brain-fart the Bengals would still be sitting on 13 points.Hate those fluke plays. Especially when they end up being touchdowns. I think the NFL should discount fluke TDs as worth something like 4 points. Don't you?
I have a friend in a receiving heavy league who I told to start Steve Smith this week. He benched him for Shonn Greene because it was a "safer" option.
Emmitt Smith in his prime woulda gone nowhere with that run blocking
Yeah, I have them both. Championship......
So is this an indictment of Smith, or the Jets run blocking?
I guess your point is that the Jets coaches knew they wouldn't learn anything with that mess anyway?
you and me both buddy. I learned that I will ALWAYS make the wrong move when deciding who to start. I also learned that the possible mistake of taking Eli as my backup could very well be nullified by the possible shark move of taking Cam newton with the last pick in my draft.'CentralPA said:
I learned that there are now 17 games in the NFL season.
For some teams.
He didn't get it. He's from Detroit.(playoffs)
