wow, tuesday thread!
I'm guessing my games will be Buffalo at Cincinnati & New England at Oakland. I'm unsure which Fox game I'll get, whatever is the National broadcast is.
Well, I get all of the games courtesy of Sunday Ticket, but the Big Game is on Sunday Night. The Jets are going to get beaten down.

But at least it would be in the sacred confines of holy matrimony, not online.
Fucking Belichick. I hope his wife bangs negros during away games.
My predictions:
Buffalo and Detroit both go to 4-0 .
Pittsburgh loses 2 more offensive linemen and start recruiting for fill-ins at the concession stands at halftime, and lose to Houston.
The Ravens will take advantage of NY's offensive line issues, corkscrew Dirty Sanchez into the dirt, and pile it on the Jets simply out of general principle.
I don't think I've ever said that before but I'd like to see a Detroit game this year. Maybe I'll take the day off on American Thanksgiving to be sure.
Dan-O is on an NFL team once more!

QuoteThe Indianapolis Colts have agreed to terms with free-agent quarterback Dan Orlovsky, according to a league source.
With starting quarterback Kerry Collins battling concussion-like symptoms following Sunday night's 23-20 loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers, the Colts auditioned Orlovsky and ex-Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Brodie Croyle on Tuesday, the Indianapolis Star reported.
While neither signal-caller boasts an impressive resume, Orlovsky had the inside edge on the basis of a few weeks spent in the Colts' system during the preseason. Orlovsky was among the Colts' final cuts when they trimmed their roster down to 53, but now he might be in the mix for the starting spot in Week 4.
There's no telling if coach Jim Caldwell believes Collins is the man for the job anymore -- concussion or no concussion -- and Curtis Painter was uneven during the second half against the Steelers, completing 5 of 11 passes for 60 yards.
Orlovsky has thrown for 1,679 yards and eight touchdowns to eight interceptions in 13 career games.
Wooo!
Bummer, the Lions game and Washington game are on at the same time. Do I want to see the Redskins lose embarrassingly or watch the Lions beat Dallas? Maybe Romo will get sacked and injured! :w00t:

Nah, I remember them making the playoffs pretty frequently in the 90's, so they weren't bad then. Then Barry Sanders retired and Matt Millen showed up and....wow.
Edit: Oh hey, reading their wikipedia article, they even went 9-7 without Sanders (just missed the playoffs then) the year before Millen began destroying them.

My years at Languish - and these threads - has given me an affinity for the Ravens.
I won't pretend to know much, or to be a "true fan" or anything dumb like that... but when I'm waiting at an American airport or passing through a sport bar or am anywhere else with an NFL game on the big screen and it turns out the Ravens are playing, that's the team whose victories I cheer and whose losses I regret.
Hell... I was at a British flavoured pub during the playoffs last season and was watching the Ravens when the waitress changed the game to the world's strongest man competition or something... and I made her switch it back and was actually offended that she'd changed it to begin with.
So yeah... please keep up the good work in these threads :cheers:

Meh, it wasn't all that frequent.
The Lions made the playoffs in: 91, 93, 94, 95, 97, 99. I would say 6 out of 10 years could be called frequently.

I too realized how glorious the Ravens defense was because of this board. Think I hopped on their defensive bandwagon back in 04/05. I don't brag about the offense, or get too excited when the defense is off the field even after all these years, though. :P

Good show, my friend. ;)
Just remember, you're rooting for a team whose city uses it as their instrument of vengeance upon this earth against a league for past wrongs too many to mention, on so many levels it reaches Greek proportions. A team the rest of the league loves to hate, in both open contempt and hidden subterfuge. And yet, it cannot defeat it, for its very existence is a victory.
In time, you too will see what the Ravens truly are: the team the league created, born of its own Promethean hubris, one it cannot control or evade, and there will be a reckoning. They are Shelley's team.

That's more than the Redskins :weep:
But at least the Redskins won the 1991 Superbowl :)
And so the volleys begin:
QuoteThe New York Jets coach and former Ravens defensive coordinator is blessed with a colorful personality that lends itself to sound bites and quotes. So it's not shocking that when a reporter told Ryan during his conference call with Baltimore media Wednesday morning that the Ravens are 1-0 against the Jets under Ryan, the coach responded with a shot across the bow.
"We have not beat them since I've been here, that's for sure," he said. "You can throw in the preseason game, too, if you want. That's exactly right. Now I will say this: we all talk about it, but I was there 10 years, and I've got a ton of friends there and the utmost respect for them and all that. But the fact of the matter is, we all said we were going to meet in the AFC championship game. Now, we haven't won the AFC championship game, but we've got there two years in a row. The Ravens haven't. So you can throw that one right back at them as well."
QuoteRay Lewis was then informed of Ryan's earlier response in the morning to a question about being 0-1 against the Ravens. Ryan pointed out that the Jets have advanced to the AFC championship in each of the last two seasons but are still waiting for the Ravens to meet them there.
"Wow. Yeah, the only response I could ever have for that is he was sitting in the same place I was sitting: watching the Super Bowl," Lewis said.
Sunday night will be beautiful.

QuoteAlleged Vince Young impersonator held, pending extradition decision
P.G. County man used Vince Young's name to con woman out of $2,500, police say
By Keith L. Alexander, The Washington Post
The Prince George's County man authorities said impersonated backup Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Vince Young and took $2,500 from a woman was ordered held in D.C. jail Thursday while Texas authorities decide whether to send for him.
D.C. Superior Court Magistrate Judge Karen Howze ordered Stephan A. Pittman, 33, of Fort Washington, held through Tuesday, when Texas authorities are to decide whether to extradite him on charges that he violated the terms of his probation in connection with a 2009 sexual assault in Dallas.
If Texas officials do not extradite Pittman, another hearing will be held Wednesday in D.C. Superior Court. In that case, Howze ordered, Pittman would be released on the conditions that he undergo drug and alcohol treatment, keep off the streets between 10 p.m. and 6 a.m. and stay away from the alleged victim and the 200 block of I St. SW.
Each time the judge asked Pittman whether he understood the conditions of the release, he replied, "Yes ma'am."
Pittman, who according to court records stands 6-feet, 5 inches tall and weighs 210 pounds — the same height at which the Eagles list Young, but several pounds lighter — was charged with first-degree felony fraud in connection with a June 9 interaction in which he allegedly told a District woman he met online that he was Young and wanted the woman to become involved with his foundation.
During a subsequent in-person meeting, Pittman allegedly told the woman the foundation would provide shoes and clothing to children in the victim's community. He asked her to donate $5,000, according to court records, promising her a salary for three years and donations to children in her neighborhood.
The woman told Pittman she did not have $5,000, according to court documents, and Pittman then asked for $2,500. The two wrote up an agreement, authorities said, and the woman gave Pittman the money.
Sometime later, according to authorities, the victim tried to contact Pittman but was unable to reach him. When she called a representative for Young, she was told that the man she met was not Young. Pittman was arrested Sept. 23 in Temple Hills in Prince George's County.

Fucking refs. And fucking Manning, for giving them the chance to throw that flag. Not that I think they should have thrown it, being as far away from the play as it was, but if you give the Steelers refs a chance, they'll do it.

Edit: By inconsistent, I mean he'll go make some hilariously difficult circus catch, but then let the next one hit him in the numbers, bounce up, and get picked off, if you know what I'm saying. I don't get into watching them so much that I can comment on his route running and such.

Well, fortunately this year seems to be the year of the tight end, and Daniels is a stud. At least they have a quality downfield option without Johnson.
Still, I hope Johnson isn't hurt bad, and that it's just a hamstring he can come back from next week or so.

Yeah Daniels is basically their #2. An interesting thing they have now that Leach is gone is James Casey, who they moved to "fullback" from TE to get him on the field. He doesn't bulldoze guys like Leach, but he's a much better pass catcher.
There's Jacoby Jones with a DB blanketing him. Not really a big fan of that playcall there, going deep like that when you only need 6 yards.
Huge stop for the D.

Indeed. Now, they need to run well and get the first, and then it's kneeling time.
Looks like they're going to have to trust their D.

I thought it was odd. Isn't he supposed to be crazy fast? He got zero separation on that play.

vOv One of the mysteries of Jacoby Jones. He IS really fast. Sometimes.
Ugh. I wonder if this is going to be more points off the board.
Well, the game was over for a minute there.

Is that what that is? I just know he was already falling down as Rapist was throwing the interception, and apparently isn't able to turn off gravity.
Whatever. Fuck the Steelers. I got to see them lose twice in one game. Doesn't happen often.
The Lions are just killing themselves with penalties on this drive.
Also nice drop there.
NUUUUUUUUUUUGE!
Hahaha nice throw Romo.
I'm glad Bobby Carpenter got a little revenge against the cowgirls.

If you hit a QB on or below the knees, no matter what the situation, it's a personal foul. This rule was created after a certain ex-Texan of note ended the season of the Foxborough Fop.
I think the Eagles are gonna get smoked by the 49ers. Awesome.
The Lions came back from way down again.
Texans win, 49ers win, Lions win. Helluva week so far.
My wife made me laugh my ass off on the 3rd down play of Dallas' last drive. Dallas had a receiver way off by himself on the strong side, with no Lion defender anywhere near. As the ball is snapped, I'm freaking out and yelling 'Who's got that guy!'. And at the very moment that the pass bounces off his hands, she says 'It doesn't really matter, does it?'. I found her lack of faith in Romo to be amusing.
LOL, Broncos.
Hopefully it wont take much more of this for people to realize Romo is a great fantasy QB but an average RL QB. :bowler:

Ain't it? Fantasy football is full of bandwagon faggits.
You know, the bullshit that the Patriots get away with is pretty annoying. I honestly don't know how the NFL can live with itself.
Rodgers destroying the Broncos. 400 pass yards, 4 passing tds, and 2 rush tds.
Bengals defense made Fitzpatrick look like he did when he played for the Bengals.
Unfortunately, Dalton looked even worse-- in the first half anyway. In the second half he looked like a veteran.
Losing the two close games was tough, but I'm happy with 2-2
Mangold is looking very homeless tonight.
Ahhhhahahaha touchdown Ravens. Fuck the Jets.
Fuck yeah ed reed
Fucking Cardinals for a awhile there it looked like first place in the NFC East was all but assured.
Ah well. The Redskins sure commit lots of penalties and turn overs. They might just be what the Eagles need unfortunately.
Ed Reed is awesome.

Yeah. There's some forward motion when he's getting jacked up, but I think it should stand. It should, but I don't think it will.
Nope, shows what I know.
And Rex tries to ice the extra point, or just wants to scream at the refs.
Raiders, Browns, Fantasy = :bleeding: :yucky: :XD: Thank Hod the Ravens are taking it to Jersey B and that the Steelers lost.
Both teams would be better off on offense taking a knee 3 straight times and punting if they want to win. :moon:
edit: combined stat line of both QBs as of right now: 15/48 for 224 yards 0 TDs and 2 INTs
and 5 fumbles 4 of which were lost. 4 by Sanchez. :showoff:
The pink NFL thing has gone way too far. It's not that I'm unsympathetic to breast cancer sufferers, but until prostate cancer awareness/research gets some kind of attention, it annoys me to see the explosion in pink head wraps, shoes, even frickin' Gatorade sideline towels.
They handed me a sideline hat like the normal one, but with pink where some of the orange would be. I threw that in my messenger bag & went hatless today.
I don't know man. If they cure one kind of cancer the others should be kinda easy after that right?

I think it'd be a much better use of money to simply take all that they spend on the ugly ass gear and on field crap and donate it directly.

The NFL & teams don't care-- all that gear is probably paid for by Reebok, Nike, etc.
No more bitching about the officials having it out for the Ravens. I haven't seen a team get that many breaks from the officials since Jordan's Bulls were playing in the NBA Finals.
Good game, glad to see the Jets get stomped pretty heavily. Both offenses looked terrible. Both defenses pretty good, with the Ravens defense just dominating.
Seedy, give us the Baltimore gossip tomorrow.
#1 total defense in the NFL (in terms of yards allowed per game): Bengals :lol:
Also, it looks like I'm going to the World's Largest Trailer Park next weekend, as the #4 video guy job is still unfilled :mellow:

I still have faith that one day, The Duff will return to Cincinnati and lead the Bengals to glory.

It's because they schedule the MNF games way in advance, and they can't flex them, so the matchups sometimes suck like this one.

It does. They have no flexibility in their schedule because it is done in advance so atleast have the games in interesting football stadium/city. Not some place that hadn't sell out in almost 2 years.
Oof. Painter with the turnover.

Indianapolis isn't interesting. At least no more so than Tampa when it comes to watching a football game on TV.
Actually, no, Indy doesn't have a pirate ship. Tampa is better.
Edit: Okay I'm the worst Rangers fan ever. The only reason I knew they even played tonight, let alone won, was because the MNF guys mentioned it twice now.

I know-- and #1 anything just 1/4 the way through the season is not something to hang your hat on. But the defense (and team as a whole) seems to have benefited by dropping some bigger names/egos and going for depth instead. Also helped to move Maualuga to MLB. With Fitzgerald (Ravens LB coach from 04 to 07) coaching him he seems to be on the right track.
What I think *is* pretty telling is that the Bengals, Steelers, and Ravens are the top 3 NFL defenses in yards allowed per game. Cleveland is #9. If one team in the division figures out how to have a consistently decent offense, watch out.

My years at Languish - and these threads - has given me an affinity for the Ravens.
I won't pretend to know much, or to be a "true fan" or anything dumb like that... but when I'm waiting at an American airport or passing through a sport bar or am anywhere else with an NFL game on the big screen and it turns out the Ravens are playing, that's the team whose victories I cheer and whose losses I regret.
Hell... I was at a British flavoured pub during the playoffs last season and was watching the Ravens when the waitress changed the game to the world's strongest man competition or something... and I made her switch it back and was actually offended that she'd changed it to begin with.
So yeah... please keep up the good work in these threads :cheers:
Good show, my friend. ;)
Just remember, you're rooting for a team whose city uses it as their instrument of vengeance upon this earth against a league for past wrongs too many to mention, on so many levels it reaches Greek proportions. A team the rest of the league loves to hate, in both open contempt and hidden subterfuge. And yet, it cannot defeat it, for its very existence is a victory.
In time, you too will see what the Ravens truly are: the team the league created, born of its own Promethean hubris, one it cannot control or evade, and there will be a reckoning. They are Shelley's team.
Welcome to the fight.
Another reason to like the Ravens. Their D-Coordinator is Chuck Pagano, who played at Wyoming. Good show, that indeed.
