  1. Monday after a weekend on which all 3 Vancouver teams won, yet TSN1040 today has primarily been talk about the Seahawks loss ...

      Because it was a shock for them losing at home.

      They are a Canadian radio station that is "home of the Canucks, Lions and Whitecaps", you would think those 3 teams, especially the whitecaps winning in Seattle, would be the topics of discussion

  2. Shane Vereen should become the primary back. Great on outside runs, very shifty and can make people miss whereas Ridley was a power runner who would take on contact. Pre season sensation James White will also be activated for games now, and Brandon Bolden did a good job in replacement of Ridley vs Buffalo. I don't see them making a move for a RB unless White flops since White's style is similar to Ridleys.
  3. I've noticed, lol. Torn ACL & MCL for Ridley. Done for the season. Word on Mayo should be coming down soon.
  4. PS: It would be nice to have football discussions/debates without calling each other morons or retarded or any other elementary school names. If you're letting it get personal, you should take a step back and evaluate your priorities. I'm in for having heated, sensible debates using facts and opinions, just don't let it get personal with insults.
  5. David J. Chao,MD @ProFootballDoc JEROD MAYO @Patriots still does not appear to be ACL mechanism. Worry is extensor (quad/patella) tendon. Await MRI.
  6. Welcome to one of the dimensions of the Manning Brady debate. Sure it sucks that year after year Manning plays in what could be the AFC's starting offense in the pro bowl, but like Brady, if Wilson wants to claw into that upper tier category he's going to have to make guys off the street look like pro bowlers.
  7. I hate injuries, they're all bad luck and most don't even occur upon contact, they occur right before because the foot gets planted at the wrong angle by a few inches. The defense was finally starting to gel and look better and we lose our captain, our middle linebacker and our best defensive player for the season. Here's to hoping it's not a tear and that we can get by the Jets without him and give him a fill 2-3 weeks off to heal, but it sure sounds like it's gonna be season ending.
  8. NFL Fantasy Football ‏@NFLfantasy 8h8 hours ago Has anyone seen this man?
  9. Oh shoot, I thought it was you because you're the Lions fan and I knew you wanted Tate when I drafted him originally lol. It was team DangeRuss who I made that deal with. Sad to admit, but I got fleeced.
  10. Could pull a fantasy football upset this week in our CDC league. Who's TRR ific? Picked up Eagles D on a hunch the other day, they got me 17 pts. I have Ram's QB Austin Davis left while trrific has rams TE cook and SF kicker Dawson. I'm up 3 heading into tomorrow.
  11. Patellar tendon connects the quadriceps to the knee (the patella) . Ouch, poor guy.
  12. Judging from seeing him balling his eyes out, I think he knows his season is over
  13. Wilson's dump offs and screens were covered today, and he's held to 126 yards with 50% completion rating. Just adding fuel to the Luck vs Wilson debate as a neutral third party
  14. Can't believe I gave you Murray and Tate for Spiller and Allen. Did not predict both Spiller and Allen being complete busts. That trade sums up my 1-5 record lol.
  15. Definitely! Looking at the ticker and seeing the Jets were up 10-3 for quite a while was very confusing. And then an hour later the ticker showed Manning had 3 TD's and I went there ya go that's more like it. What a way for the Phis to lose too. Aaron Rodgers, fake spike, incredible.
  16. I forfeit, you're right. The Patriots only won because they were allowed to extend 2 drives. Nothing else matters. #1 WR and #1 RB combine for 46 yards? Big whoop, no impact on the game at all. Bills couldn't stop the Patriots on 3rd down plays on which there were no flags thrown? That doesn't matter. Brady threw for 4TDs and 350+ yards? Not a factor, could've thrown for 600 yards and 8TD's, but had those calls not been made the Bills would've won. This was fun Rupert. Going to go make lunch and settle in for the 2nd half of Boys Hawks. Until next time...
  17. Doug Kyed ‏@DougKyedNESN 10m10 minutes ago The way the Patriots were talking, it sure sounds like a season-ending injury for Jerod Mayo.
  18. I don't believe the zebras were the reason for the Patriots winning and I stand by that. The first PI call was blatantly obvious, Edelman was tackled before the ball even got to him. Bills #1 WR was shut down, their offensive line was embarrassed and they had no run game, nor could they make a stop on 3rd down even without the refs throwing a flag. You already said you don't follow the Pats, so I guess you missed the horse crap calls last week as well. The Carolina game reference was in response to your Pats always get the benefit of the doubt comment. Some teams have moral victories while others actually win the game. So have fun with your what if's.
  19. How is that a what if? Had no effect on the game. What if Gost made that field goal? They would've won the game. What if gost missed? They would've won the game.
  20. Funny, I didn't play what if, I listed stats about how the Bills were dominated on both sides of the ball.
  21. Panthers don't get a 2nd possession? Or did they get the 1st possession of OT?
  22. Can't disagree with your point. Also have to consider though: Revis eliminated Watkins from the game, 1 catch for 20 yards. 3 Patriots receivers got over 90 yards Orton was sacked 5 times, including 1 fumble that the Pats recovered, and an interception. The Patriots D line dominated the Bills O-line in both run and pass situations Whether there was no PI called on Gronk or roughing the passer called on the DT, there is no way the Bills were going to win this game. Don't forget Gost also missed a short FG on a bad snap, should've been 40-22. Those penalties would not make up 22 points.
  23. I would say it depends on the context of the drive. If a team starts at their own 20 and takes a bunch of plays and time to get to the opposing 40 yard line, and the defense forces a 3rd and long and a penalty results in a first down for the offense, that would definitely lessen their energy, the explosiveness off the ball and the effort level on the next play immediately after the penalty. But if this context occurs in the 1st or 2nd quarter, I would say the defense has no excuse for being that drained. On the flip side of that, if the drive is only 3-4 minutes in, the defense shouldn't lose a step after a drive extending penalty. They should be relatively fresh. It's a shot to the morale and enthusiasm, but I don't see why you should allow a 43 yard touchdown. I definitely see your point and I'm not disagreeing with that major penalties are a killer. Having played football for 7 years, and even currently in ice hockey, I know those things can really get to you. But at the same, you're a paid professional and need to move on to the next play. Speaking in regards to today's game specifically, I honestly believe the difference was quieting the crowd every time they got loud to give the defense energy by going to Gronk for a 1st down. Even if the PI call on the incomplete pass to Gronk was not called, with the way both teams were playing and the momentum of the game in the Pats favor, the odds are in favor of the punter pinning Buffalo inside their 20 and them eventually punting the ball back.
  24. Changed betting websites (From Bodog to Play now) Changed bet amount (From $20 to $5) The curse is broken!
  25. I disagree in regards to the last the couple seasons. I, along with some analysts, still believe the Pats were robbed in Carolina last season. That holding on Gronk was referenced during a half time show of another game this season. Last week vs Cincinatti the Pats had brutal calls against them. But hey, agree to disagree. A win is a win, we're onto the Jets
