Post by: CountDeMoney on October 05, 2013, 08:21:40 PM
Yeah Ulmont, I don't know what CBS Sports was thinking on that one.

Meanwhile...wow.

QuoteThe Ravens have cut veteran wide receiver Brandon Stokley and have re-signed veteran tight end Billy Bajema.

Stokley's release is a good indication that Jacoby Jones (knee), Marlon Brown (hamstring) and Deonte Thompson (concussion) are nearing a return.

The veteran wide receiver, a member of the Ravens' Super Bowl XXXV championship team, had been dealing with a groin injury and didn't play in the Ravens' 23-20 loss to the Buffalo Bills last Sunday.

Stokley didn't practice Friday and was listed as questionable on the injury report.

As a vested veteran, Stokley's $940,000 contract is guaranteed and counts against the Ravens' salary cap.

Bajema is known for his blocking. He was cut Thursday when the Ravens made their trade official for offensive tackle Eugene Monroe.

Bajema is playing under a 1-year contract tthat counts $155,000 against the salary cap under the minimum salary benefit.

I think what GF is trying to say is, since the most recent CBA, you're seeing a wider disparity of salaries between certain positions.  Wonder where they got that idea from.
Title: Re: NFL Week 5: When playoff baseball just doesn't do it for you
Post by: Neil on October 05, 2013, 10:23:33 PM
I think that Stokley was a #3 receiver.  And a million dollars a year for a guy in Stokley's situation is pretty good for the player.

Yeah, but he's still a first-stringer.  In the NHL, your fourth line still plays significant minutes.  In the NFL, your third-stringers are only playing special teams or if the starters get hurt.  The two aren't really the same.

I'll take the win.

He's been not so good the whole year.  Whatever his problem is, they need to sit him down until he gets it fixed.  He's thrown like 10 picks this year, 4 of which have gone for 6 the other way.  SF has dropped at least two more INTs tonight too.

In Week 1:  Jets over Bucs, Bears over Bengals.  1-1
in Week 2:  Chargers over Eagles, Chiefs over Cowboys, Bills over Panthers, Broncos over Giants.  4-0
In Week 3:  Chiefs over Eagles, Patriots over Bucs, Bengals over Packers, Browns over Vikings, Dolphins over Falcons, Colts over 49ers, Seahawks over Jags, Bears over Steelers.  6-2
In Week 4:  Vikings over Steelers, Chiefs over Giants, Seahawks over Texans, Redskins over Raiders, Broncos over Eagles, Chargers over Cowboys, Patriots over Falcons, Saints over Dolphins.  4-4
In Week 5:  Colts over Seahawks, Rams over Jaguars, Broncos over Cowboys, 49ers over Texans 2-2.

17-9 isn't quite as bad as I thought, but it's pretty clear that the AFC is better top to bottom.  Except for Jacksonville.  They're just the worst.

Though the seahawks lost today, I think they're probably the best team in the NFC, and the Broncos are obviously the best team in the AFC.


There are a lot of teams you mention, but I dont think most of them matter in all reality.   The only teams that really matter right now if you can project to the playoffs, in my opinion, are Broncos, Seahawks, Saints.  KC, Indy, and Pats and Niners are wild cards in my opinion, heck maybe even the bungles on that list.


Jets/bucs, bears?  Chargers/eagles, Bills/panthers?  I can't read any more of that list.

That's just neat.  Not sure what it has to do with Neil's original point.  So far when the AFC play the NFC the AFC has won more.

Some dumbass trying to project playoff team in the first week of October doesn't really change that.

I'm not a fan of Romo, but he did pretty well considering the Broncos never punted and put up 51 points.  I think the Cowboys had bigger problems on defense.

25/36 for 506 5TD and 1INT  Yep definitely that guy's fault they lost.  I'm no fan of Romo and the Cowboys, but that dude was fuckin slingin it on Sunday.  Romo didn't give up 51 points, and I'm really tired of hearing idiot Cowboys fans complain about it.  Schaub is out there handing the other guys free TDs in every game, and they're complaining about a dude who put 35 on the board for his own team.

Romo has had more than enough justification for the "fail" tag at times, but that loss was not his.  Given a defense that did ANYTHING, he does not need the stats he had to even be tied with 2 minutes left.

500 yards speaks for itself.  Y.A. Tittle would agree.

I never pinned it on Romo.  I said this is what he does.  He had the ball with two minutes to go and a chance to win and EVERYBODY in that stadium knew that INT was coming.  It was hilarious how fatalistic the Cowboy fans were, he really has them well trained.

So yeah you could get into how many yards were thrown, how many TDs were scored, how horrible the defense played blah blah.  But that shit has never ever mattered even a little bit.  Romo, and the Cowboys, always find ways to lose and that makes me happy.

Cowboys fans are stupid and deserve Quincy Carter instead of Romo.

http://espn.go.com/blog/statsinfo/post/_/id/74796/the-two-faces-of-tony-romo

QuoteRomo has 19 game-winning drives in the fourth quarter or overtime, tied for fifth-most since he took over the starting job in 2006.  <QBR bullshit>

This season, Romo is second in the NFL with 13 touchdown passes. And only Peyton Manning has fewer interceptions among quarterbacks with at least 30 pass attempts per.

QuoteMost INT in 4th Quarter or OT
Score Tied or Leading by 7 or Fewer
Tony Romo   8
Tom Brady   7
Matt Ryan   7
Matt Schaub   6
Chad Henne   6
*Since Tony Romo's 1st Season (2006)

So before the OMG HE COULD HAVE WON THE GAME (he couldn't because the D would have immediately given up a TD anyway) he was tied with Tom Brady and Matt Ryan of all people.  Wouldn't want either one of them on my team no sir.


lol Falcons.  Come all the way back, then give up the FG to lose it in the end.

Ok whatever.  Seriously when Romo had the ball back at the end did anybody not see that INT coming?  I knew it, heck the whole freaking stadium knew it and Romo did not disappoint.

And yes it is exactly what Romo always does.  He puts up Hall of Fame numbers and finds ways to lose.  I would certainly qualify the sort of game he had yesterday as a Hall of Fame type performance.

You're not really reading what you're typing.  If a QB is putting up "hall of fame" numbers and his team is losing, there is something wrong with the team.  The QB should not be having to bring the team back or run the two minute drill throwing the ball all over the field after his offense puts up "hall of fame" numbers on the scoreboard.  They should be running the clock out and taking knees.

Sucks to be a Falcon fan atm,

QuoteHey, Falcons fans! Think things couldn't get worse for your team after falling to 1-4 and losing two straight nationally televised games? Think again!

That's right, Julio Jones, the second-leading receiver in the NFL (after New Orleans' Jimmy Graham), the guy who makes unbelievable circus-catch plays that keep Atlanta in games their defense plays them out of, is apparently out for the year with a foot injury. Jones was observed limping after Monday night's loss to the Jets, and it's clear that the injury was more serious than anyone had believed at the time.
