Vikings 38 - 3
I’m down 38 fantasy points in my championship with Favre and Shianco yet to play.
Its doubtful, but possible

I'm actually down 35
But we have Home Field Advantage in the playoffs where higher seeded teams get 3 arbitrary points.
Thats a gay way to lose a game

Lemme get this straight
I know Zorn called that rediculous fake last week, but he did it AFTER Coughlin called a timeout and he CALLED IT AGAIN?!?!?
Wow. Zorn should have been fired ingame.

From what I gather Zorn doesn't call the plays...
But the HC has to step in there. Terrible, terrible play.

He doesn't have the authority to step in
They stripped him of that. Zorn is a bad HC, but you can’t put any of the blame on him from the point where Snyder stripped him of his power around mid-season.

Zorn was hired as offensive coordinator
before a head coach was hired… And then when nobody wanted to be the Head Coach in Washington Zorn was given the job… Just a really weird deal all the way around.

He doesn't call specific plays
But I have to believe he’s the one calling fake fieldgoals or other gadget plays.
Why is the HC even at the games if he has nothing to do with the playcalling

Because Snyder was a dick and didn't just fire him
Zorn was stripped of his power. Just another reason that whole organization is a joke.

There are worse owners in the NFL.

Guys like Jones, Davis and Snider that are too hands on negatively impact their teams. Hire a good GM, a good VP of Football operations and sit in your press box and count your money.

However the worst owner imo is William Clay Ford. How do you hand the keys to your franchise over to Matt Millen for 7 freaking years? That’s just too hands off. Gotta have balance.

Im not sure Jerry Jones is negatively impacting his team...
Since he’s been there the Cowboys have been as sucessful as any franchise in the NFL. Sure they have had their dissapointments, but over the last 20 years who hasn’t?

Wow
a receiver that jumps up to catch a ball that was thrown a little high in the middle of the field maybe bowe should watch the replay of that play
he jumped
then he started to raise his hands and as he did so he sw it was out of reach so he didn’t extend fully…..which also probably saved him from getting needlessly blasted
his job is to give maximum effort on each play. i contend he could have at least knocked it down.
The only players I hurt with my words are the ones who have an inflated opinion of their ability. I can't worry about that.

Blasted by who?
Th DB was diving to the groun or the INT. How are we supposed to believe he couldn’t get a hand on it when he didn’t try? The pass was unacceptable as was the lack of effort to catch it.

Are you basing "He Jumped"
on DJ’s screen shot? Just watch the play at full speed. If that’s a jump, then I guess we know why he doesn’t play basketball. Then he compounds the lack of effort to get a hand on it by making no effort to down the DB after the pick.

by KCSatchmo on Dec 28, 2009 8:56 PM CST up reply actions
he half assed jumped
but he still made an effort as i watched it in regular time. As I have said before the camera angle makes it look closer than it was, and he obvioulsy felt it was out of reach. I’m sure he knows how to judge balls a lot better than all of us. By where the ball was caught, it was not only high, but also behind him
Oh sure...throw out the last word
then say we shouldn’t argue it here ;)
nice try

How the hell do you know
camera angle made it look closer than it was. You can’t tell where the ball is from that blurry shit. You can tell that it landed 2 yeards in front of him based on where Bowe and the defender were when the INT was made. It’s clearly not out of the realm of possibility that he gets a hand on it which makes a “half assed” effort unacceptable.

Depends on your league rules
In a lot of leagues I’ve been in the tiebreaker is QB points.
-"A man may be a fool and not know it, but not if he is married." - H.L. Mencken
Too soon to say that
-"A man may be a fool and not know it, but not if he is married." - H.L. Mencken
It's always more questionable when it's that cold
it really changes the way the ball reacts to contact.
-"A man may be a fool and not know it, but not if he is married." - H.L. Mencken
A pressure kick in the cold - I wouldn't be on ANYONE but Vinateri
for a kick over 40 yards. Inside 40 I’d agree with you.
-"A man may be a fool and not know it, but not if he is married." - H.L. Mencken
Chicago D has really shown up a lot more tonight than they have most of this season!
-"A man may be a fool and not know it, but not if he is married." - H.L. Mencken
Good no call though - nice to see really
-"A man may be a fool and not know it, but not if he is married." - H.L. Mencken
He looked bad on that play
staring down his receiver. Bad sign.
-"A man may be a fool and not know it, but not if he is married." - H.L. Mencken
Yup.
Seems to be a sign of shitty coaches
Wow, nice play by the defensive back
-"A man may be a fool and not know it, but not if he is married." - H.L. Mencken
It was a decent throw,
but chalk that one up to the FS going the wrong way. I couldn’t tell if Cutler looked him off or if the FS decided that his gimpy CB should be left alone.
-"A man may be a fool and not know it, but not if he is married." - H.L. Mencken
He had five yards on Winfield
he would have scored on anything close.
-"A man may be a fool and not know it, but not if he is married." - H.L. Mencken
Good Lord, where was the FS?
-"A man may be a fool and not know it, but not if he is married." - H.L. Mencken
FS went the other direction
-"A man may be a fool and not know it, but not if he is married." - H.L. Mencken

Very true
But I don’t know if I can stand too many more games with Gruden talking about Favre. That gets painful. Especially since he can make some insightful comments, like when he said on the last rushing TD by the Vikes that he’d give the ball to AP on a quick count and was exactly right.
-"A man may be a fool and not know it, but not if he is married." - H.L. Mencken
in Grudens defense...
He has been dealing with QBs like….C simms, garcia, brad johnson,…..for his last few yrs in coaching. Probably wishful thinking that brings it out in him
I cant stand the whiney little bitch..
but the boy made some real nice passes tonite……can we sever his arm and attach it to matt cassel?
I don't care about his whining, though it gets on my nerves
It’s his decision making. He’s as close to Jeff George as I’ve seen. Mentally not very good, which is WAY more important than arm strength (see Montana, Joe). I’m going to watch the highlights and see if he looked off the FS on that last play. I’ll give him some credit if he did.
-"A man may be a fool and not know it, but not if he is married." - H.L. Mencken
I think the arm may cause the brain damage, though.
It’s so common to see the strong armed guys making those mistakes. The only exception that comes to mind is Elway.
-"A man may be a fool and not know it, but not if he is married." - H.L. Mencken
but in all fairness...
this is a team game. Yes he makes bonehead decisions sometimes, but if he gets time, and his receivers get open, he is 10 times better. Same goes for any QB in the league.
I see a lot of Farve in him...
Relies on his arm strength too much and it gets him in trouble sometimes….but when he gets it rolling….it looks reeeeal good
But I remember in his first few seasons when commentators
were questioning whether Favre was a ever going to be a “good” QB because of his mistakes. Watching both of them, I think the difference is that Cutler tends to make his mistakes in more critical situations. I think the difference in their attitudes are why Favre was able to overcome that tendency and become a SB winner and multiple MVP winner. I think Cutler’s attitude is going to keep him from ever doing that. You don’t have to watch them very long to see the MAJOR difference in their attitudes and how they respond to problems. That’s why I don’t think Cutler is truly a “franchise” QB.
-"A man may be a fool and not know it, but not if he is married." - H.L. Mencken
Very good point
DId you see Cutler on the bench after his int? He was laughing his ass off. Usually he’s just pouting
After Favre throws int’s he is studying drive charts with Daryl Bevil

cutler came into the league
with a whole lot more fanfair than Favre….he has a big head from always being “the man”…he may get his shit together with a little maturity as he ages…..ehh who knows. Like I said, I dont like the guy other than his skill set. I cant stand that he always tries to blame the reciever after a poor play….
All I was saying is its a TEAM game….when others play well and do their jobs right,like tonite, he is a whole lot better.
