NFL Week Six Early Games Discussion Thread

Since the Vikings don't play until 3:15 Central, yours truly is going to be locked in on the Red Zone Channel until kickoff. Our game thread for the Vikings/Cowboys game should be up at around 1:00 PM Central time.

Among the early games today are the match-ups of all three of our NFC North rivals. The Bears will be playing host to a Seattle Seahawks team that has been atrocious on the road thus far this season, the Packers will be hosting the Miami Dolphins. . .and, hey, if the Dolphins are good enough to beat Minnesota, they're certainly good enough to beat Green Bay. . .and the Lions will be traveling to Jersey to take on the New York Giants.

The rest of the early slate looks like this:

San Diego Chargers at St. Louis Rams
Baltimore Ravens at New England Patriots
Cleveland Browns at Pittsburgh Steelers
Kansas City Chiefs at Houston Texans
Atlanta Falcons at Philadelphia Eagles
New Orleans Saints at Tampa Bay Buccaneers

Enjoy, folks. . .and, as I said, look for our Game Thread right around the time most of these games are going into the locker room for halftime.

Fact from Seahawks/Bears

The Seahawks haven’t beaten a “would-be playoff team” on the road since 2004. . .

. . .when they beat Minnesota in the “inexplicable Randy Moss reverse pass at the goal line” game.

Great pass by Henne

What you just said is one of the most insanely idiotic things I have ever heard. At no point in your entire rambling incoherent response were you even close to anything that could be considered a rational thought. Everyone in this room is dumber for having listened to it. I award you no points, and may God have mercy on your soul.

By the looks of the early games,

The NFC is ripe for the taking. Falcons are struggling, to say the least, against the Eagles. The other 4-1 team is struggling against the seahawks. So, if the Vikings can get it going, they can still do this thing.

Mallet plays the best competition in the country and has great stats and plays in a pro-style offense. 6’4’’ too. How can he be overhyped. Likely the best pro-prospect in this draft. If anyone is overhyped it is Locker based on last year.

That had Tony Dungy taken the job as Seattle Seahawks president/GM, he’s on record as saying he would have hired Frazier as his head coach.

Dungy is expected to have quite a bit of input in the Gophers’ coaching search, although he’s rumored to have already turned the job down himself.

His team is less talented

He is the only reason they are in most of those games. That’s the kind of QB you want. Someone who carries a team, unlike Jimmy Claussen who everyone seemed to want.

by PurpleJesus on Oct 17, 2010 1:24 PM CDT up reply actions  

I think he made some critical errors

in the Alabama game. And Arkansas played almost as well without him yesterday as with him. I’m not saying I wouldn’t take a look at him. But I’m not high on him.

I don’t buy the typical scouting assessments of QBs. I think they’re clueless on quarterbacks, which is why Tom Brady could go in the 6th round, Drew Brees could be overlooked, and Ryan Leaf and the succession of Raider’s busts could be loved.

They get all wrapped up in height and arm strength. Neither of those matter nearly as much as they think they do. They don’t spend any time on Football IQ, accuracy, and the ability to win—all of which matter much more to a starting QB.

by Shawn Gillogly on Oct 17, 2010 1:37 PM CDT up reply actions  

Alabama is as tough a defense as you will face

He still had good stats in that game but the better team won, as they should.

I have watched a lot of him. The mistakes he makes can be coached. I am higher on him than anyone even Andrew Luck.

Maybe they will say their whole team is on the block too! Although AJ Smith is a prick to try and trade with! Probably would want 3 first round picks.

Brandon Marshall

Numbers against Minnesota – 4 catches, 71 yards (46 of which came on one play)

Numbers against Green Bay – 8 catches, 110 yards (and it would be more if Henne hadn’t overthrown him on a TD pass he was wide open on)

Oh, and there’s still 10 minutes left in the third quarter for Marshall’s numbers to get better.

God, McCarthy's an idiot.

It’s 4th and 7, he’s got 3 time outs. If they fail on 4th down, he could use the TO’s and the 2 minute warning to have a last shot at gettting the ball back.

Instead, he lets the last 15 seconds tick off to get to the 2 minute warning without calling the 4th down play.

Yeah but if you stop him you don;t need the TO

And if they score you still get the ball with about 30+ secs left. Assuming they score on the first play

Not to mention some semblance of a running game.

Oy. This is ugly.

BCB free since 8/24/10 and happier for it.

Pretty sure that wasn't the play call.

But Miami left a huge hole over center.

Sounds about right.

All coverage penalties seem to fall on #21

Most of them are deserved.

I love Woodson, but he’s handsy.

142 yards rushing

and you throw a pass on first down?

by PurpleJesus on Oct 17, 2010 3:05 PM CDT reply actions  

Packers probably too...

… Dolphins just took possession on their own 48. The only need about 17yds for a FG.

THANK YOU SEATTLE
