Around SBN: UFC 146 Results: Junior dos Santos TKO's Frank Mir

NFL 11/14



Well I havent been able to watch the Cowboys game much, but I was afraid this was going to happen.

 

From what I see the main difference is the refs dont have Wade to hate, so they're not throwing the crucial flags they normally would on the Cowboys. For example, that last Felix screen TD definitely woulda have been called back for some fake penalty normally.

 

Also, who's the owner in Houston? They really need to fire that guy. The Texans will never win as long as he's the owner.

 

You cant blame Frank Bush though. It's all about talent and the Houston owner has obviously screwed that up, as owners do. So you pretty much have to keep Bush around.

 

Looks like my boy Tebow has a couple more TD's in Denver..

 

Oh and damnit, I forget the yahoo pick em again. This would be my second dropped week so I guess I'm finished there.

Tebow has a 2 rushes for 2 yards and 1 pass for 3 yards

But he’s vultured 2 TD’s and he’s that much closer to sainthood

by Jobu. on Nov 14, 2010 5:49 PM CST reply actions  

Pretty sure they only put him in on short and goal

Dumbshit. Do you want him to gain 40 yards on first and goal from the 1?

I consider McDaniels a grade A beast and all, but that seems a little odd to me. If you think Tebow is best on 1st a goal, he’d pretty much be best in the whole game. Which Denver might as well go ahead and start Tebow already.

That reminds me, one thing that has died out since I was a kid is dual QB systems. Used to see that a lot in college and even some in the NFL. Dont anymore.

I've heard the whole schpeel about the 1-12 record against the spread with new coaches in mid season.

So what?

Teams show up for new coaches all the time, in every sport. Just because the record in the previous 13 games was 1-12 doesn’t mean it’s a flawed concept. What was the record before those 13 games? Show me that.

I could most definitely see Dallas suffering from a hangover from this game and losing to Detroit.

Then as long as you keep Frank Bush at DC, I dont care if you hire Vince Fucking Lombardi for head coach. If it’s all the same to you, since coordinators are interchangable. Maurice Carthon would be an excellent choice at OC as well. Just sayin. If it’s all the same to you I mean, if you dont mind…

BTW, I was reading my preseason football mag and they talked about Mario Williams. They said he doesnt draw a double team which doesnt make his teammates better. Just think it’s pretty hilarious, given how much the media tried to beat it into us what a great pick that was over Bush.

Mario Williams is fine, you cant be a good defense with Frank Bush. You cant. I told you all before the season the Texans defense would suck.

Best thing I saw today from the Cowboys...

I only remember one penalty on offense in that game (a false start). I think the rest were on defense (not good but it’s understandable considering our backup CB’s played most of the game).

Anyone know what happened with Sensi/Newman? (Newman shouldn’t really be pointing any figures at anyone else)

Yep...that was the biggest thing...very little penalties.

saw the game on the flight from san juan

I’m sure Jerry will be blamed for this los…oops, nevermind.

Also, Dez is pretty good, i guess Jerry can’t manipulate the draft for great talent eith…oops, nevermind.

wonder where those ‘fans’ are who said this team doesn’t have talent. i think they said ‘shit’ almost everywhere outside of a few players.

i said a couple of times, this could be like Payton getting away from Parcells. Payton wasn’t that great of a play caller here either, but, like Payton, Garrett might just be a better HC + OC. We’ll see…i hope it works out that way. It can’t be easy going on the road to NY and playing the best team in the NFC and pretty much kicking their ass with a 39 yr old backup QB. As much as i liked Wade, this just feels different…

oh yeah, that oline, sure seems to be pretty good once everyone is healthy and playing together.

also, that was a BS penalty on McCann that lead to Giants last TD.

This game is much more likely to have been a flash in the pan than it is a major turning point for the franchise.

Sure, the Cowboys have more talent than it appeared in big losses to Green Bay and Jacksonville, but those games still happened and this team is still 2-7.

People saying that this team had “no talent” are dumb, but so are those who refuse to recognize the massive weaknesses that led to five straight losses.

The Cowboys played well today. They still won’t make the playoffs because the hole they’ve dug is just too big and as a team, they’re still not that good.

Said that the “rule” is knock it down if you’re in a crowd of people, but if you actually have no one really around you and the chance to catch it, you try to catch it. But that’s the first time that I can remember someone saying there’s a distinction. It makes sense, but I can see how asking the defender to make that judgment in that moment can be a problem.

Well

it’s not completely unprecedented that rookie WR’s can have an impact but I guess I agree that I shouldn’t have counted on it.

But it seems like there’s one rookie WR every year for the last few years that have had huge impacts and Bryant, given his size and speed, seemed like the perfect candidate.

by ab03 on Nov 15, 2010 12:55 PM CST up reply actions  

I thought he would be good for a rookie.

I did not think he would be this good.

And the crazy thing is that his number should be better but he’s had plays called back that, with a little more experience, he’ll likely learn how to turn into allowable plays. Austin impresses you from his acceleration and strength, but Bryant makes you say wow from the catches he can make. It’s not the system (like for DeSean Jackson) helping him, he’s changing the system. Crazy.

Anyways

On the game, a few things…

First, didn’t realize we have Detroit next week. Nice break for Garrett lol. Our ONE easy game of the year next week, almost guaranteed our third win.

2, Garrett is still dumb. There was some situation, I dont remember exactly, but it was 3rd Q-ish, we led maybe 26-13, basically we really needed to start running the clock. On a 2nd and 3, Garrett throws two passes. Now, I’m constantly bitching about the dumb fans bitching about Garrett not running enough, but the whole key is WHEN IT MAKES SENSE. I just cant believe how situation-ally dumb Garrett tends to be. On 2nd and 3, milking a lead, you fucking run it!

3, the game basically just lacked the “freakish” things going wrong, as Kitna said. This was basically what this year should have looked like, the 11-5 team from last year.

4, this was on Mike and Mike’s twitter

Many of you are saying that #JasonGarrett tanked his playcalling to get Wade Phillips fired, and Golic says you’re crazy!

LOL, I dont really know what to say about that.

BUBU

VICK CANT POSSIBLY EVER PLAY QB AGAIN.

I’m serious, Cowherd was spouting that shit for ages about Vick. It was one of his main tangents, it was in a lot of his commercials for his show.

-It’s impossible to take two years off from football and be any good for a long time when you get back. You’ll be too out of shape, game is far too fast, etc etc
-Vick was never very good in the past when he was healthy and in the league anyway, lists a bunch of biased stats to back that up. So now, how can he be any good with a bunch of new factors working against him?

Lol, talk about spectacularly wrong.

Anyway, the thing about Philly is they’re well coached. Reid is a good OC himself and Mornhinweg who actually handles the playcalling too. That’s the difference between Philly Vick and Atl Vick. And the DC apparently isn’t bad either.

We’ll see though, black QB’s havent won a lot of super bowls. The super bowl formula seems to be white pocket QB in a sophisticated passing offense, imo, in recent years. We’ll see if Vick can buck that. If he stays healthy with all that running.

The offer supposedly has been on the table for a while. My guess is that McNabb figured he wasn’t going to get anything more than that from the Redskins, so he might as well guarantee himself $3.5 million before the lockout. If they decide to keep him, he’ll get a $10 million roster bonus in 2011, but if they cut bait with him, they don’t have to pay him.
