NFL Week 3 Thread

[Liep]

And I beat Seedy by a single point.

37 points by Manning.  :worship:

And the Danes go 3 - 0 thanks to... Cutler.

And the Danes go 3 - 0 thanks to... Cutler.

Although to be fair, Cutler is a "B" quarterback on a team that has seen about a fifty year stretch of "C," "D" and/or "F" quarterbacks.  He's nowhere near as good as what all of the hype might lead one to believe, but he's arguably the best quarterback to start for the Bears in my lifetime, so I'll take what I can get -- at least until the Blackhawks' season starts on Friday morning & I switch gears...

Jim McMahon was a winner.

[C.C.R.]

Jim McMahon was a winner.

I agree with that statement.  He was a positive contributor to a team that won a Super Bowl.  However, I still think that he was only an average quarterback in comparison to the abilities of his peers...

[Ed Anger]

I miss the punky QB. 

[C.C.R.]

I miss the punky QB. 

He was certainly in the right place at the right time...

[The Minsky Moment]

Poor Strix.  The Steelers losing to the Bengals must be demoralizing.

He needs to realize that Ben's arm is the only thing working right now .

Well we know nothing above the neck is working.

[Alcibiades]

2-1 with my terrible team, don't know how they're doing it.

Neil is 0-3.

Neil is 0-3. 

Holy shit, really?

Jesus, I'd given up on that game.

Kyle Orton's team is 3-0.

[C.C.R.]

Kyle Orton's team is 3-0.

How has he been playing for Denver?  I don't dislike Orton or wish bad things upon him, I just don't think that he was ever going to distinguish himsef in Chicago...

[Sophie Scholl]

49/88 passing for 663 yards, 3 td's and 0 int's or fumbles.  I've always been a fan of his, too bad the damned dirty Bears traded him to Denver.  He was actually doing quite well last year prior to screwing his ankle up I thought.  I think he'd be doing as well as Cutler is odds are.  All of that plus the Bears wouldn't have traded away their future and I could still be a fan.

Agree about the average quarterback.  A lot of QBs are going to look good if they consistently face 2nd and 2.

Those numbers should have an asterisk for the Bungles' tipped pass.  The best thing you can say about Orton is he hasn't thrown an INT-- oh and he's apparently really good at handing off the ball for running plays.

Hey Valmy, whatever happened to that young Skins QB that got the snot beat out him under Spurrier?  Cut?  Benched?  Traded?  Dead?
