NFL Week 9 Running Thread

He's made more than one play. He converted a fourth down only to see Wilson fumble it away at the 5. He drove them down the field another time only to make a bad decision. And he drove them down the field again, only to see Reed miss the 40-yard attempt. And this isn't against the Raiders defense, the Broncos aren't a bad group.

With Roethlisberger, given the wreck, the surgery and the helmet-to-helmet hit, he's not going to come back all at once. He's going to have highs and lows, but he's playing better today.

 

Five freaking starts and he's the biggest bust since Sam Bowie? Even by your standards, and the knee jerk standards of the board, that's unmitigated stupidity.

But hey, he didn't out play your boy Garrard from your Jaguars, so you must be right.

 

There aren't a lot of playmakers on the Titans to help Young out. He was shit today but as an earlier poster stated, the Jaguars make a lot of good QB's look like shit. McNabb and Manning had subpar games against the Jaguars. Young will need time to develop but to call him a bust is absurd.

David Garrard is a beneficiary of the schedule. He beat a bunch of shitty teams last year and will benefit from another easy stretch in the schedule. He is average at best.

 

I still can't get over the Vince Young comment.

Eleven years ago, they did it right with Steve McNair: On the bench for the better part of two years. It's a joke that Young is starting, and Jeff Fisher probably knows it, yet as Fever points out, Young has been competitive with a terrible team until today.

Biggest draft bust in more than 20 years? Completely idiotic.

 

i need something to prop my eyelids open during this vikings-49ers game i'm watching.

 

The Browns couldn't run the ball against 11 giggling school girls.

 

One of the worst games I've ever seen gets even worse with that inexplicable whistle that kills Nedney's 52-yarder.

 

The Bears are not who I thought they were.

 

I think it's foolish to go for 2 until the last half of the fourth quarter ... plenty of time left, and as Parcells can tell you, going for 2 early and not making it can cost you the game.

 

I don't have Direct so I have no idea whether this statement is true or not, but:

49ers-Vikings is like watching sheep screw.

 

Why the fuck is Gus Johnson laughing as LDT breaks off a TD?

I always hate the Johnson bashing for him being excitable, but jesus, that call was fucking terrible.
