NFL Week 11

Let's start this week off with a bang! Dwayne Bowe decided to go all Colorado on us during his off-week. Arrested for speeding and marijuana possession. Most believe it's his first offense in the NFL, so he'll be entered in the NFL program and faces a suspension if it happens again.

Figured this might have some fans here - Jon Bois tweaks Madden in a funny way each week and posts about the game. Loved the Johnson one.

The local sports talk radio station has been running an ad for their segment with Steve Logan, ex-ECU head coach and ex-Bucs assistant. In the bit he says his only encounter with Madden was when his 10 year old was playing, and he picked a play, and threw an incomplete pass. Logan told his son that they used to run that play, and what he had to do was watch the middle linebacker to know where to throw. His son called the play a few more times, completing each pass, turned to Logan and said "Dad, you broke the game".

Man, my Colts look like the 2-14 team from 2011. Just atrocious in every area.
Healthy, I'm confident about them. But they lost their two best backs, Richardson looks like a horrible reach, no Wayne means we have no dependable 3rd down receiver, and the lack of offense exposes what is a subpar defense.
And if Reed can't figure out how to take a f**king knee on kickoffs. Hell, I could run out to the 5 and get creamed repeatedly.

How in the holy shit did Walden not get ejected for a headbutt on a helmetless player that the ref clearly saw?

I expect Walden to get suspended a game for that headbutt.

Still wondering why CJ didn't get the ball more in the 3rd. By the time they did, the Indy D had the momentum going.

Still no way they can play half a game and expect to do anything in the playoffs, but Luck's will to win is impressive.

Kind of amazing to me how little respect the Chiefs have gotten this season. Got this in an email and thought it was pretty funny.

Gameday! Pretty fired up for Round 1 of Broncos/Chiefs. I think the Chiefs will lose, but it's a lot of fun to have big games in the AFC West again!

Why didn't the NFL just move the start time back for the Balt/Chi game, knowing full well that this system was moving in?

Did they really think there wouldn't be a delay?

(this is quite possibly the most asinine bit of background I've heard, they were insinuating that the Bills lead is because of this)

He probably saw some research about not kicking field goals, only going for TDs

It was probably Geno Smith's idea just to get the coaches to stop nagging at him about stupid stuff like the playbook, films and listening to instructions.

Trestman getting crucified for not using his timeouts as Baltimore ties it to force OT.

It's unorthodox, but interesting to let the clock run and force Balt to move their ass down the field (which they of course, did). But in slop with no faith in your defense, it's bizarre, but defensible. Ish.

Ugh. Once the QB is out of the pocket he should be treated as a runner.

Also, I know it is rare but if you get to the QB before he hands the ball off you should be able to hit the QB.

It just seems that we already have 21 guys playing one game and the QB's playing another and this is only going to make it worse.

After he had one dropped earlier in the game Pick Six Ponder is back!



I really can't believe they're still putting him out there... ...and he's finally on the bench. Hopefully for good this time.

The Packers are one of the worst teams in the league without Aaron Rodgers. They've lost 3 straight without him, 3 games they probably win with him. Their only chance to win a game without Rodgers is next week vs Minny. Then hope Rodgers returns on Thanksgiving and they'd have to win that one to tie Detroit and they'd hold the HTH tiebreaker. They're lucky Minny is on the schedule next week, one of the few teams with a worse QB than Scott Tolzien.

To be fair, Tolzien is a scrub from the practice squad and Ponder is a first-round pick.

Tolzien has played reasonably well. The interceptions have hurt him, but a 70% completion rate and ~340 yards, if that's what you expect from a crappy QB, then why isn't QB play in the league overall at a higher level?

What a bullshit call. He made no contact to the head until the way down which shouldn't matter.

Someone was saying about the league over protecting the QB? Brees doesn't get hit in the neck, gets hit in the high chest…and there's a penalty.

I'm wondering if they are making QB's less safe with some of these rules? It seems to me that many QB's now pay less attention to what goes on around them. I just watched Brees' get blasted from a pass rusher he should've seen coming.

Odd mistake by Brees on the intentional grounding. Wonder if he's a bit shaken up? Still, Saints get 3 they shouldn't have. And I like Brees. Just a shame. And then there's Aikman, agreeing with the call. Spoken like a true QB!

I think Kaepernick made it out of the pocket. But not "well outside" of it.
