Seedy's Lead Pipe Locks o' the Week: We're going big on the points, kids. Pats assrape the Bidwells, Bengals right the ship and toast the Browns in a massacre, and Detroit to cover in a losing squeaker.
Ah the dreaded Rams game. The Redskins play them every year and always play one of their worst games against them.
Eagles are picked over the Ravens? What am I missing? Bengals should beat the Browns, but by no more than a touchdown. Each Bengal win last year was annoyingly close and I think that will continue. Steelers will win by at least two scores-- I don't care what the Jets did last week, the Steelers always seem to bounce back after a disappointing loss.

Kurt Coleman is just that damn cool. Trent Richardson knocks his helmet off, he mans up and finishes the game. Tressel taught him well.

He was cool though. Hey hows things, I'm all good these days, etcetcetc.
Of the NFL players I've run into and actually conversed with, they've always been much more engaged talking about their alma mater than anything they're doing for a paycheck now.

I don't watch much TV so I wasn't too worried about it. I will probably upgrade next week though, unless it is a huge jump in price.

That's what's called a substantial special teams breakdown by the Bears.

Is becoming? This is what Cutler has always done. As the game goes on, he gets frustrated with his shitty blocking and gets more and more erratic. And even when he does throw a good pass, it gets dropped.
The Bears are suffering under the Curse of Jake Plummer. His vengeful spirit pursues all those who wronged him. Cutler is right at the top of that list.

Chicago is the Bengals of the NFC North. They'll beat up on weak teams, but a quality opponent will crush them.
For the life of me I don't know why people thought that Brandon Marshall would make things better for the Bears. For all his gifts, he just doesn't play smart.

Ah, I see. I didn't watch the game last night (had the South Florida - Rutgers shitfest on in the background while doing other things), but looking at it now, it seems Cutler totally sucked but somehow managed 3 points. Late TD pass?
E: Also why don't I have a backup QB? I thought I picked one up after autodraft failed me. :hmm:

That spin move he put on the helpless safety with a couple minutes left? That was definitely slick, yeah.
You know, playing in a 18 team league, like languish, makes finding players very hard. All these shows about new pick-ups after week 1 & most of their advice on new players are on guys drafted in like our 6 or 7th rounds.
God Damn it.
10 teams is the sweet spot.
Looks like both McCoy and Maclin are both playing for the Iggles.
Ed Reed is good to go, but Paul Kruger is inactive. Should make things even more difficult for the Ravens run defense.
I put the over/under line for Vick INTs is 3.
Damn. Kruger has been doing a good job stepping up for JJ. I guess we'll see how much Upshaw has to give today.
Vick needs to prepare his asshole for the Philadelphia media. Nothing the Ravens can do will match what those fuckers are going to lay on him.
Not only does he kill dogs, he kills drives. Hilarity.
Yeah, it's gonna be that kind of afternoon.
They keep getting away with hitting Vick late; they'll get called on it eventually, but it's gonna be worth it. Shake up the dogkiller, and he starts throwing picks.
I guess they'll try and run a bit.
Vonta Leach was sad that he didn't get to crush someone on that play. That was a nice drive.
You know, I kind of feel bad for Asomugha. Remember in Oakland when he was talked about in the same breath as Revis? Now Flacco and Jacoby Jones just kicked his ass.
5 1/2 quarters in, the Browns score their first offensive TD! :lol:
56-yard field goal from Tucker. That's why Billy Cundiff isn't with the team anymore.
The boos from Filthadelphia are delicious.

Indeed. They're right to be angry though. The Eagles were in give-up mode after a bonehead special teams play, and the Ravens put points on the board.
8 turnovers in 6 quarters. Too funny.
One of these days, Andy Reid will actually be fired over his 80/20 pass-to-rush fetish. Must suck better cock than Jeff Fisher ever did.
Scott Chandler is doing it again. :glare:
Man those Ravens fans sure got quiet.
Yep real quiet.
Wow what a catch by Jackson.
If flacco could throw like Vick that's a touchdown.
Hernandez is hurt. Damn it.
The Jags just put Chad Henne in.
Shit maybe weeden can play this game.
Wow. The Texans pull Foster and Tate to get Forsett some playing time, and he immediately runs for 15ish then 10. The Jacksonville D is pretty beaten up though.
Ugh. 4pm choices:
Stillers on CBS
Tony Homo on Fox.
I'd rather shoot myself in the head.
Same choices as here :w00t:

Been watching it in the other room, Douchey McDouche. That's where the HDTV is.

I wonder how the Eagles will manage to screw this up. Looking forward to seeing it.
Remember last week when Timmay posted the week 1 power rankings, like they was some sort of Patfag validation?
PATS LOSE! PATS LOSE!

Is it really a passing attempt if he pushes the ball away instead of a throwing motion?
Greg Gumbel is wanting to laugh so bad in the booth.
Boo. They didn't even get one more blast on Vick. Maybe they'll miss the PAT.
I actually like the Ravens, just their fans that make it so much fun to tease them.
There you go. Get the first down and get out of bounds.
Hope Jacoby isn't hurt too badly.
Minnesota and Kansas City. So much talent, yet so much carnage.
It's official: as Flacco goes, so go the Ravens. Went cold in the second half, and so did the team.
It looks like it's going to be this again. They'll play the division and the good teams really well, but lay eggs against the bad ones.
That said, the Eagles did a good job covering the deep ball, keeping the Ravens from stretching the field.
I don't understand why they stopped going to Rice. Flacco didn't need to throw it 24-25 times in 2nd half.

Yeah Harbaugh loves using Fullbacks. Needed in his smash mouth rushing
Game.
RG3 had a disappointing loss today, but I'm sure he's licking his chops thinking about the Bengals pass defense he gets to face next week.
Bengals looked great offensively, and Baby Hawk had a highlight reel 50 yard TD catch in which he avoided 6 would-be tacklers. Pacman Jones got his first punt return TD as a Bengal, which probably ended up being the difference in the game.
I know a win is a win, but this one left you feeling kinda negative about the rest of the season. The Bengals defense has been just shitty and needs some serious adjustments. At this rate they'll need to put up 40+ on the Skins to pull off a win.
Somebody isn't synergizing.
The Skins lost but I am still feeling really good about how this is going. RG3 clearly is who I thought he was and why I was in favor of the Skins destroying their draft to get him. At least they now finally have an identity and something to build upon and a direction.
Actually this was the best Rams-Redskins game of the seemingly endless series they are playing. Usually it is two terrible teams in a boring and hideous crap fest. Today it resembled a professional football game.

He can't be much worse than Palmer. At least they'll know if they have a legit QB or not. The only certain thing is that Palmer is not the future, and they're simply wasting time pretending he is.

lol, where's the hanky on that one? Offensive pass interference, but no call on the "defenseless receiver" headshot?
No, please, by all means, keep showing the AFC Championship game highlights.
LOL, stupid turf, that ball just died.
That is called grass you heathen.
Man what does it say when best defense is allowing 20pts a game. :P
Dude, who's the creepy ass Afghani behind Smith? Weirdo fucking hamster eyes, man.
So the Texans set franchise records for both themselves and Jacksonville today by holding them to 117 total yards on O. Arian Foster ran for nearly that much himself, then Tate added another 74, and Forsett pitched in with 35 on 6 carries late in the game. They really kicked the shit out of the Jags. The difference in time of possession was...well big. 43:17 for Houston, 16:43 for Jax.

I was just leaving my parents' house when that happened but it looked like he slid under an already diving defender. The forearm to Smith's face was just bonus points.

I haven't seen it, but one of the guys on the sideline said he had a similar play when he was with the Alouettes.
I am displeased. :mad:
Ravens, Pats lose, Steelers win. Good Sunday.

Here you go, Longhorns; No. 4 from "Five Things We Learned from the Ravens' 24-23 loss to the Philadelphia Eagles"
QuoteThe decision to go with a talented, young kicker in Justin Tucker appears to have been a wise one.
As the Ravens attempted to move the ball down the field in the final two minutes of Sunday's 24-23 loss to the Philadelphia Eagles, rookie kicker Justin Tucker warmed up his right leg and relaxed his mind on the sideline. He had already made three field goals, including a 56-yarder that tied for the longest in franchise history, and with the way the undrafted rookie from Texas has been kicking over the past six weeks, you have to figure the Ravens would have liked their chances of stealing a victory if they could have gotten Tucker within 60 yards of the uprights. But the drive stalled and Tucker didn't get his opportunity to try his first do-or-die kick in the NFL, but he said he believes that he could connect from beyond 60 yards "on a really good day."
I know his career is still in its infancy, but it looks like there are going to be a lot of really good days in this quirky kid's future. If he continues to make long field goals with ease and boom touchbacks out of the back of the end zone, we will soon stop talking about whether the Ravens did the right thing by going with Tucker over former Pro Bowl kicker Billy Cundiff. Instead, we will be asking why Tucker was available to compete with Cundiff in the first place.
Composed young kickers are hard to come by, and Tucker has a different air about him than Steve Hauschka and Graham Gano did three years ago. He is very confident, but not too cocky, and seems very comfortable in his own skin, whether he is impersonating Christopher Walken in front of his new teammates or sitting cross-legged on the locker room floor as reporters conduct interviews around him. Tucker also has a big leg and is accurate from long range, giving the Ravens a dimension they lacked with Cundiff, who was 1-for-6 on 50-yarders a season ago. Tucker has already made two field goals from beyond 50 yards and four from beyond 45 yards.
Of course, the Ravens won't really know what they have in Tucker until he lines up, crosses his heart like he does before every kick, and swings his right leg at a football with the game on the line. Then they will know what he is built like on the inside. But it's clear he has a ton of talent and plenty of confidence. Maybe it wasn't that risky to put their faith in a rookie kicker after all.
All of my players except two scored at least four points below projected. That's impressive.

I don't get why security would ignore the guy like that. I wonder how long they would have let him run around out there if Lowery hadn't just gone and gotten him.
Must've been replacement security from Division I.
The new illegal substitution rules are a travesty.
Now that's how you separate the ball from the receiver in the end zone.
lulz, Aaron Hernandez out "several weeks". Breaks my fucking heart.
Oooh, and we get GB and Seattle next Monday night. Don't get much Seahawks here on the Least Coast.
Nice play to get that first down.

That is one thing I caught Gruden saying. The real officials can't call PI consistently, not sure why they expect amateurs to do so.
With my usual Monday Night luck I ended up 0-4 this week, of course I didn't need Monday Night to suck in this league.
In my RL money league I was involved in the biggest blow out two weeks in a row, the first I gave this week I took it. And the worst part is I got my ass kicked by the worst guy in the league. He is always kind of flaky at the draft and gets stoned/drunk/doesn't pay attention and always tries to take players that are already picked. This year in the late rounds (~14-15) he took a guy that was crossed off my master list, I told him he was gone and he got pissed and asked who took him, turns out he had taken him 2-3 rounds before.
NFL Films President Steve Sabol died today after a battle with brain cancer.

He died at 69. His father, at 96 outlived him. The two of them changed everything about the way we view sports here, imo.
Michael Turner got nailed for DUI (and also 97 in a 65) after the game last night.
http://www.cbssports.com/nfl/blog/eye-on-football/20219676
QuoteFalcons running back Michael Turner was charged with driving under the influence of alcohol and speeding hours after Atlanta outlasted Denver on Monday Night Football, according to the Atlanta Journal-Constitution.
Turner was booked into the Gwinnett County Jail just after 5 a.m. ET Tuesday and was released two hours later on a $2,179 bond.
Gwinnett County police spokesman Cpl. Edwin Ritter told the Associated Press that an officer pulled Turner over in his black Audi R8 on Interstate 85 northeast of Atlanta after clocking the car going 97 mph in a 65-mph zone.
"The officer made contact with the driver who identified himself as 30-year-old Michael Turner of the Atlanta Falcons," Ritter said in a news release. "The officer could smell an odor of alcoholic beverage coming from the driver and proceeded to conduct a DUI investigation."
The former fifth-round pick out of Northern Illinois joined the Falcons in 2008 after spending the first four years of his career with the Chargers. Turner, 30, has rushed for 5,355 yards and 51 touchdowns in his five seasons in Atlanta.
"We are aware of the situation involving Michael and are in the process of gathering more information," the Falcons said in a statement released by the team. "Because this is now a legal matter, the club will have no further comment at this time."
In Monday night's 27-21 win over the Broncos, Turner had 42 yards on 17 carries and scored the game's first touchdown.
Nice job, buddy.

Frozen Wetbacks was led by Matt Ryan with 20 points and Willis McGahee who scored 19. Fighting Nixons started one player with zero points while Frozen Wetbacks also served up one goose egg, meaning each team left something on the table.

There was a quote from Kareem Jackson after the Texans - Dolphins game about the scabs that was...strange. He got hit with a really late flag for a facemask at one point in the game, and he asked the ref what the deal with that was. The guy apparently told him it "came from upstairs." I didn't know there was a ref off the field who could tell them to throw flags.

I've been hearing rumours that the dollar amount that has them seperated is $2 million or so, which I find to be incredible. There are kickers who make more than that. Steve Bischotti could fire Cam Cameron and his salary would make up the difference.

Well, I can understand why the refs wouldn't accept a 401k, given that all stocks are inherently worthless. I'm surprised that I'm siding with a union, but these are the times we live in.

The NFL has to be worried about setting a precedent for when they deal with the players' union, don't they? Otherwise quibbling over $2 milliom is just insanity.

In his heyday he was spectacular. But he ceased to be a legit #1 receiver before the Bengals realized, but that was attitude-related-- he still had great hands but refused to run after the catch and would just flop down if he ever caught one over the middle. I guess that's sort of understandable given that he had to play against AFC North defenses.
