NFL 2011 Week 12 - The first good Thanksgiving in years

[Neil]

The Niners will have to get to Rodgers, like the Ravens got to Smith.  That's the key.

They sure didn't get to Flacco.  Then again, the Packers don't really run, and if they have any trouble with it, they'll just give it up.  The Niners will be able to pin their ears back.

As for Suh, I didn't think the stomp was that bad.  It looked to me like a guy freaking out when someone was entangling his leg a bit after a pileup.  Now, when you add in the context of the face-to-face shit-talking and some of his previous behavior, I see a guy who is out of control and needs to learn to check his aggression once the whistle goes.  Whether that's chemically-induced or not, I can't say, and I didn't see the post-game interview.

[jimmy olsen]

Oh yeah, and Suh is fucking psychopath.  Today, combined with his Michelle Bachmann post-game remarks, that was roid rage pure and simple.

What do you think will happen to him? 1 or 2 game suspension?

[Alcibiades]

You guys are crazy if you think the niners can beat the packers.  They let Flacco pass on them ffs. The Packers secondary may be iffy, but it's only because theyre always trying to jump routes, and take off whole series when theyre up by 3 touchdowns.  I mean, they lead the league in interceptions by a huge margin. And quite frankly Alex Smith is a mediocre quarterback, who nearly lost his job last season.

They have the second least give aways(one behind the texans of all teams), score the most points per game, and average 400 yards a game.  While the defense is worrisome, I'm not worried about the niners from the NFC west.

Much more worried about the Saints and a healthy bears team.

A healthy Bears team that plays their minds out loses by 4 to the Packers.

Packers are invincible this year.

[Neil]

After seeing the reverse angle on the Suh Stomp, he's super guilty.  It's marginally less bad than the Haynesworth attack on Gurode, but only because he wasn't trying to stomp his head.

Oooohhhhh Hot Tub Matt with a nice TD pass! 

Dude is 9/10 with a TD so far.     Sure he's only got like 60 yards on those 9 completions, but still.

[Neil]

I like the way that the Bills are attacking Revis.

[MadBurgerMaker]

AAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

WHAT
THE
FUCK

Leinart hurt his shoulder.  TJ Yates is in now. 


Edit:  Uh.  And he does a pretty good job, going 3/5 for ~40 to get them in FG range with 1:30 left in the half.  20-10 Houston.  Owen Daniels is the #2 QB now, I think.

[Neil]

Leinart hurting his shoulder isn't even news.  Didn't he do that pretty much constantly, the whole time he was in Arizona?

I don't know.  He took a hit and landed right on it with a DL on top of him.  Just screams "separation."

[MadBurgerMaker]

Yeah Leinart is done for the day according to Kubiak.  Yates will go the rest of the way with Owen Daniels as his backup.

That's exactly the sort of hit that made Kurt Warner a first-ballot MVP.

TJ Yates:  lock for the Hall of Fame?  Naw, he's looking rookie-ish now with a 3 and out to start the half.  D is really going to have to step up even more.



So....do you stop using Daniels as much now that he absolutely must be ready to go if something happens to Yates?  Dreesen and Casey are fine catching the ball.  Not as good as Daniels, but I'm getting a little bugged out about the Texans not having a damn QB because of some freak play.
