he fell just short of being montana by not finishing off a comeback where the pats were down 28 points with less than 6 mintues left in the 3rd against the #1 defense in the league. any other team in the league would fold the tent and start thinking about next week...well, unless that team had peyton manning under center.
blame the defense.
The Vikings did not need a comeback vs the 49ers, because we made rust out of their gold behind QB Ponder
It was a very well played game. The Niners need to stop playing prevent defense. The prevent defense is what got the Pats back into the game. Once we switched back to man coverage they couldnt do shiiiiiiiieeeeeeet.
am not a fan of the Prevent D. It seems that a defence designed to stop the pass some how allows teams to always comebackQuote:

you certainly dont start playing prevent D when there's 6 minutes left in the 3rd. bad move.
Yeah. Its kinda like telling the other team we dare you to score. The problem is they did with effeciency. Every time any teams plays prevent it prevents them from winning. lop! Once they went back to man coverage Brady couldnt get the ball out he was sacked.Quote:

if by "average" you mean completely ineffective then yes, the colts running game is average. Rg3 has more rush yards than the colts starting back and afred morris has more yards than the colts 1st, 2nd, and 3rd string backs combined.
The run the game is largely due to him. I dont think you would see Alfred Morris having this success in a more conventional offense.Quote:
the redskins are a running football team and a good one at that. RG3 is managing the few throws he's asked to make well, which is good. its good to have a great running game to fall back on while your QB only has to make a few plays through the air here and there but doesnt have to carry a team with his arm.
RG3 doesnt throw as much because he is much more efficient early on in the game and doesnt need to dig them out of holes like Luck does.
Even when the Colts have had success running the ball (as they have the last two weeks), Luck has still been extremely inefficient.Quote:
luck doesnt have the luxury of a balanced offense. he's gotta throw it.
Obviously he isn't right now as rookie neither is Luck. Griffin definitely can be though, he's similar to Rodgers in alot of ways.Quote:
RG3 is not on peyton, brady, or arron rodgers' level. these guys actually throw the football.
the redskins offense is built around the run. they dont throw as much because they dont have to. they're more efficient in the running game. the 49ers are similar. RG3 has 112 run attempts for over 700 yards. the only other Qb that comes close to that is cam newton.Quote:

luck is a rookie being asked to throw more than 40 times a game with no running help. mistakes are gonna happen.
it doesnt matter if luck gets into holes when he consistently getting them out. being able to overcome adversity is an excellent trait in a QB. too bad he has to play the texans 2 of his last 3 games of the season. this will probably knock him out of the playoffs. meanwhile the skins finish off with the browns, eagles, and cowboys.
neither of these guys are on peyton brady or rodgers level. they're still rookies, and quite frankly both QBs could just be flashes in the pan beyond having great rookie seasons.
lol @ the bad news jets
How do you explain Luck's terrible numbers the last two weeks despite having a "effective" run game? Swap Morris with the Colts top back and I guarantee nothing changes between both teams because Griffin makes our run game go.Quote:

Wilson and Griffin have done the same exact thing tho but they're not the two actually putting their teams in those holes which is more impressive.Quote:

Luck gets absolutely no sympathy from me with that cupcake pathetic schedule the Colts have had this season. Without the easiest schedule in the league Luck wouldn't even be in contention for OROY.Quote:

Cowboys and NFL officials are in agreement that Josh Brent will not be permitted on the team's sideline for the remainder of the season, according to team and league sources. Brent, who is charged with intoxication manslaughter in the death of teammate Jerry Brown, was called by numerous teammates encouraging him to come to the game. The Cowboys players were trying to support Brent as the mother of Jerry Brown requested.

It's sad what happened, and lots of people were against The Cowboys having him on the sideline, however if that's what the mum of Jerry Brown wanted than I don't think anyone can argue against it
low class bastards...jus like Raider fans

the NFC East is still a better division than both Wests, Souths and the AFC East. the competition level is still there in interdivision play, cept for da eagles.
