[MeloHype]

Only good thing about the saints game was Matt Ryan got me 41 points

[Robz4000]

Damn, too bad. That would've made the game interesting.

[AchillesHeel]

Damn, too bad. That would've made the game interesting.

Yeah.. I was hyped like a mofo then saw the replay :wakeup

[spurraider21]

that was the game for the colts

[Malik Hairston]

:lol Sup Malik?

Just cooling bro, just started school again, might have to holler at you in a few years for a finance job hookup, tbh:lol..

How's everything with you?..

[Kool Bob Love]

Doing good...working a lot...really loving Denver's new Julius Thomas-centric offense this year :lol

[Malik Hairston]

I went with Gronkowski over him in my pool..I missed the early games, what the fuck happened with the Pats today?:lol..

[DUNCANownsKOBE]

I went with Gronkowski over him in my pool..I missed the early games, what the fuck happened with the Pats today?:lol..

I think Gronk only played like 40% of the snaps, so he'll be better when they let him play every snap again.

Redzone wasn't showing the Pats at all today, but I heard a big problem with them was absolutely atrocious McDaniels play-calling.

[DUNCANownsKOBE]

:lmao if Avante ends up losing money on this game too

[spurraider21]

is it just me, or is Luck's accuracy inconsistent at times? he's had a handful of throws that have been a bit high/wide. should also note that he's been under constant duress and hasn't really been able to plant his feet/step into throws

[TheCultOfPersonality]

Should've fed Moncrief again.

[TheCultOfPersonality]

is it just me, or is Luck's accuracy inconsistent at times?
It is.

[Robz4000]

Buttholes getting tight in Denver?

[spurraider21]

It is.
true, but his decision making, timing, ability is off the charts. i think with a better line in front of him the throws will come easier with time

[Malik Hairston]

Buttholes getting tight in Denver?

:lol no, it's pretty obvious coasting..

[DUNCANownsKOBE]

:lmao Avante

[spurraider21]

voodoo

[Robz4000]

:lol no, it's pretty obvious coasting..

Idk, Denver seems gassed

[Robz4000]

Ruh-oh

[Kool Bob Love]

:rollin:rollin:rollin

[MeloHype]

:lol

[DUNCANownsKOBE]

:lmao keeping Julius in to block on 3rd down

[spurraider21]

would be something if the Colts pull this off and AZ beats the chargers tomorrow... 0-4 AFC West

[Malik Hairston]

Two years in a row that Manning goes easy on his former team, tbh..getting frustrating as a fan..

[DUNCANownsKOBE]

:lol how many drops is that for Indy tonight

[Malik Hairston]

Hopefully Von shakes the rust off shortly, he has been invisible tonight, tbh..

[DUNCANownsKOBE]

:lol black offensive linemen
:lol any position that requires a remote amount of intelligence they find a way to fuck up

[spurraider21]

lol fatfuck should stick to blocking instead of playing ref

[Malik Hairston]

:lol how many drops is that for Indy tonight

Luck would be putting up monster results with San Fran or even Washington's supporting cast, tbh:lol..

[Robz4000]

Ah well, at least it got interesting.

[spurraider21]

terrific coverage, good no-call

[Thebesteva]

Two years in a row that Manning goes easy on his former team, tbh..getting frustrating as a fan..

Did Peyton kind of ignore Luck at the end there?

[Robz4000]

Looking forward to the first edition of this year's BQB report tbh...

[rogues]

If it wasn't for our druggie led organization we'd surround Luck with a better supporting cast..

[Clipper Nation]

If it wasn't for our druggie led organization we'd surround Luck with a better supporting cast..
The brains of the operation (Telesco) went to San Diego, tbh....

[DPG21920]

:lol Thank goodness the guy I'm playing had Romo. What's funny is Romo had 3 INT's and still outscored RG3 smh. Although, the fumbles are what really hurt RG3's overall game. They are just dink and dumping to an extreme though. You see Denver run some of those sets where they get the ball to D.Thomas and they go far, but you can't do that all game.

Plus, no designed runs for RG3?

[TheCultOfPersonality]

Interested to see who will have more interceptions tonight: Eli Manning or Carson Palmer.

[spurraider21]

lol calvin

[Kyle Orton]

Houston's corners were playing off and the right side of the line was getting dominayed even on short quick throws. Kinda was forced to Dink and dunk. I expect deeper passes next week

[MeloHype]

:lol

[Darth_Pelican]

If you ever need a confidence booster after your team suffered a tough loss, just watch a Giants game.

[MeloHype]

If you ever need a confidence booster after your team suffered a tough loss, just watch a cowboys game.
Fixed

[Darth_Pelican]

I'd be shocked if the Eagles don't have the East clinched by week 12. What a joke of a division.

[ace3g]

Megatron, too good

[spurraider21]

who are the giants taking with the #1 pick in the draft?

[DUNCANownsKOBE]

^Good question. I have no idea how this team got so shitty so quickly.

[DUNCANownsKOBE]

This might be the worst O-line in the NFL :lol

[spurraider21]

their prized acquisition to revitalize their offense was rashad jennings :lol

[DUNCANownsKOBE]

:lol Jizzenhunt style play calling

[Holden_Caulfield]

cruz being shadowed by a rookie, gets no targets :lol

[spurraider21]

:lol could anybody read Eli's lips there?

[chunticakes]

In other news I just bought a badass stitched ray rice jersey for $9. The seller's description, "I just don't want it anymore". :lol

[spurraider21]

:lol TIMMYtoZO (http://www.spurstalk.com/forums/member.php?u=21393)
:lol still on vacation
:lol "sleeping giants"
:lol elite manning

[TheCultOfPersonality]

That's the Eli Manning we all know.

[manufan10]

This is why I don't know why so many Cowboys' fans were already throwing in the towel on the season. The NFCE sucks. There's always a chance to make it to the playoffs in this division. Especially after one game. :lol

[spurraider21]

it just so happens that 2 of the 3 worst teams in the conference are in the same division. its the worst division of the league, but the Eagles are the "best" of them. washington should be better than the cowboys/giants

if it makes you feel better the raiders suck too and will be pleased with a 7-9 season :lol

[Robz4000]

Just got home. Is Eli having himself a Romo-esque game?

[HI-FI]

yeah that's what I told my brother, i wouldn't get too down about the Cowboys because their division is pure dogshit atm. anything is possible.

[Pelicans78]

Ryan Nassib would make the offense more productive.

[resistanze]

Two teams in the division that are possibly better than GB.

[Robz4000]

Two teams in the division that are possibly better than GB.

Lions are potentially better, but the Vikings? Really?

[313]

We outchea

[FkLA]

Eli never grew out of that retarded look he has tbh.

[resistanze]

Lions are potentially better, but the Vikings? Really?

Bears.

[HI-FI]

Eli never grew out of that retarded look he has tbh.
true, but all that retard strength makes him throw harder than Peyton.

[Robz4000]

Bears.

:lmao

[TheCultOfPersonality]

Eli is much more turnover prone than Romo.

[manufan10]

Eli is much more turnover prone than Romo.

[spurraider21]

do we have 4th quarter and december splits?

[DUNCANownsKOBE]

true, but all that retard strength makes him throw harder than Peyton.

He also has that Manny Ramirez-esk retard clutch factor. While Tom Brady and Peyton Manning have let the pressure of SBs get to them, Eli was always too stupid to realize how big the moment was.

agreed, was saying that to friends yesterday. Brady had zero expectations and grew into the role, Peyton has battled those expectations from the start but both deal with it now. Eli is so dumb during the RS that anything good he does in the playoffs is icing on the cake. He's the Forrest Gump of the NFL.

:lmao

I think Joe Flacco's 2012 season was similar to Eli's previous SB runs. Now, after he signed that huge contract and had expectations, he's looked like shit.

pretty much.

[DUNCANownsKOBE]

Does anyone else find that Ickey Woods commercial hilarious :lol

[BanditHiro]

Giants have to be the luckiest team in the history of the NFL. All of their Super Bowl wins have come from some of the most flukiest choke jobs in the history of the NFL.

[DUNCANownsKOBE]

:lmao holy fucking shit, had no idea it was flooding in Phoenix

[Robz4000]

Chargers always suck on 3rd/4th down tbh. They've really made an art form out of it.

[spurraider21]

i hate phyllis but he's a tough sonufabitch

[DUNCANownsKOBE]

what a retarded challenge

[spurraider21]

i've been saying all offseason that palmer can still play

[Robz4000]

:lol Chargers giving up big plays per par

[spurraider21]

historically Palmer has destroyed the chargers. he had some of his best Bengals game against them, played very well against them even with the raiders

[Clipper Nation]

Shareece Wright is fucking garbage....

[Robz4000]

Not enough evidence

[manufan10]

Not enough evidence

Yeah, it doesn't look like he has it when he lands... but it's not clear enough to overturn, imo.

[DUNCANownsKOBE]

I think I saw an angle that made it pretty clear he never had possession.

:lol Ellington
:lol most overrated preseason fantasy player ever

[Clipper Nation]

Holy fuck, refs actually getting a call right!

[DUNCANownsKOBE]

C'mon Philbilly, just get me one god damn field goal.

[spurraider21]

allen jumped too early on that one... if he high-pointed it he coulda come down with it

[Clipper Nation]

Mathews is human fecal matter....

[DUNCANownsKOBE]

The Cards' run defense is pretty beast but outside of PP21 their secondary is atrocious, idk why San Diego is even trying to establish the run.

[chunticakes]

Mathews is human fecal matter....

Why is he always ranked so high? Is it because pundits like his faggot shoes?

[Clipper Nation]

Why is he always ranked so high? Is it because pundits like his faggot shoes?
Tbh, I have no idea why the media hypes this bust up, all he does is get injured, fumble, and run into his own blockers :lol

[Clipper Nation]

Verrett is looking like a good pick already....

[DUNCANownsKOBE]

OK Philbilly, just ONE fucking decent drive so I can go to sleep at a decent hour.

[Robz4000]

Verrett is looking like a good pick already....

Guy will end up a steal imo.

[spurraider21]

tommy kelly and matt shaughnessy starting on the cardinals d-line?

:cry nostalgia

[DUNCANownsKOBE]

Holy hell the Chargers' play calling is shitty.

[spurraider21]

Holy hell the Chargers' play calling is shitty.
:lol if you lose

[Clipper Nation]

I thought we fired Jizzenhunt, looks like Reich is even worse :bang

[Robz4000]

Looking like Jizzenhunt wasn't the whole issue for San Diego's offense.

[Clipper Nation]

I seriously was not expecting Fagano to be more prepared than our offensive staff :lol

[spurraider21]

chargers offense hit the shitter in a few stages over the years...

LT getting old
Sproles leaving
Gates declining
loss of vincent jackson
marcus mcneil's demise
hardwick's decline

[DUNCANownsKOBE]

Hopefully AZ at least starts putting points up so San Diego's shitty play caller is no longer allowed to run the ball into the ground on every play.

[Clipper Nation]

:lol if you lose

If I lose I'm gonna go into Avante-like meltdown mode about :cryhow close:cry I was

[Clipper Nation]

Now that Arizona's scored, can we please fucking stop overrelying on the running game?

[Robz4000]

At least you'll always be able to tell the rookies next week fwiw...

this. they need to stop pretending they can be this run heavy with ryan mathews carrying the load

[DUNCANownsKOBE]

:lmao this shitty ass running game

[spurraider21]

nice to see the chargers vomit all over themselves offensively :lol... keep pounding the rock

[Clipper Nation]

This shitty-ass offense had better get fixed real quick or we won't be making the playoffs...

[DUNCANownsKOBE]

OK San Diego, keep pounding that rock for 3 more plays to set up the field goal :lol

[DUNCANownsKOBE]

:lmao punt blocked... de facto field goal range

Now they're gonna start getting aggressive and will get a touchdown :lol

[Clipper Nation]

Wow :lol

[Robz4000]

Knowing Rivers he's due for a pick...

[spurraider21]

surprised those faggots didn't run a draw on 3rd and 6 :lol

[DUNCANownsKOBE]

QFrsR9NByc4

[Clipper Nation]

This reminds me of the Boise/Ole Miss game, defense is doing everything they can but will be gassed in the 4th and let down, while the offense shits the bed....

[Robz4000]

:lol typical Chargers fuck-up

[spurraider21]

never thought this would apply to carson palmer but... :monkey

[manufan10]

:wow I don't think I've ever seen Carson move like this.

[Clipper Nation]

Same old Chargers, there always has to be one part of the team that shits the bed completely ensuring a 7 to 9 win season....

[manufan10]

:lol

[Holden_Caulfield]

[Robz4000]

Welp, he was overdue...

[Holden_Caulfield]

lol keenan allen was wide open

[Clipper Nation]

WHY THE FUCK DOES ROYAL GET SO MANY TARGETS AND GREEN NEVER GETS THE BALL? This fucking OC needs to be fired!

[vander]

why so much Gates? where's Ladarius Green?

[Malik Hairston]

What happened with all that Ladarius Green hype in the off-season, tbh?..

Don't remember seeing that nigga at all tonight..

[Malik Hairston]

That nigga Forsett seems so happy in that interview, tbh:lmao..

What did you think of Montee Ball/Denver Run Game last night?

[pawe]

Damn this is depressing. 22m/yr Fitzgerald targeted 0 times in the 1st half.

[spurraider21]

floyd is the guy now, and palmer has good rapport with him. the lack of keenan allen is more alarming

[313]

This game sucks.

[pawe]

No, it doesn't. I love watching teams play defense.

[spurraider21]

No, it doesn't. I love watching teams play defense.
this. i dont mind low scoring games if the defenses are playing well. it gets unwatchable when its just sloppiness

[Malik Hairston]

What did you think of Montee Ball/Denver Run Game last night?

Don't have an opinion either way, tbh, too early..

I'd be very surprised and impressed if Slowshon continues to look good, too..

[Robz4000]

No, it doesn't. I love watching teams play defense.

This. It'd be better if the Chargers weren't beating themselves to an extent tbh; their playcalling has been shit.

[Robz4000]

There's Green

[spurraider21]

malcom floyd > keenan allen?

[Clipper Nation]

Floyd Money!

[Robz4000]

malcom floyd > keenan allen?

For now. In a season or two it'll be reversed.

[vander]

malcom floyd > keenan allen?

for the 10% of games when he's healthy yes

[dirk4mvp]

It would be awesome if Rivers accumulated 8 more points

[Clipper Nation]

malcom floyd > keenan allen?
No, Keenan will be calling Bovice on the league for years to come....

[spurraider21]

:monkey

[vander]

It would be awesome if Rivers accumulated 8 more points

4 points from K Allen / Fitz needed, getting worried

[Robz4000]

BAM

[dirk4mvp]

4 points from K Allen / Fitz needed, getting worried

I keep telling myself I don't give a shit about fantasy until things like this happen :lol

[spurraider21]

[Robz4000]

it's Mathews god dammit

[Clipper Nation]

Te'o is still a fucking faggot and a wasted pick that Spanos forced to sell merchandise and whore for attention...

[Floyd Pacquiao]

Rivers fucked up, took his eyes off the ball before catching the snap

[Floyd Pacquiao]

Carson Palmer chimping out? I've never seen him this mobile ever

[Robz4000]

Chargers are cursed

[Robz4000]

Great choke imo

[vander]

[Clipper Nation]

Typical Chargers national TV choke upcoming...
Called it, I'm just numb to it at this point.... last time I'll ever be optimistic about this franchise BEFORE I see results....

[pawe]

Look at that little maggot go!!!

[Infinite_limit]

LOL @ dumbass with Cardinals hat & LT jersey

[rogues]

:lmao..

[vander]

Rivers has been in the league 11 years and still constantly struggles with the snap

[Raven]

the chargers are simply the gift that just keeps on giving :lol.. will never grow tired of seeing them choke the impossible :lol

[Clipper Nation]

the Cowboys of the AFC. mediocrity for life
It all comes back to ownership, the faggot-ass Spanos family makes Jerruh look good.... they're tightwads, and when it's time to hire people, they're more concerned with who's going to kiss their ass the most instead of who's the best at what they do (which is why our new coaching staff is just as pussified and overconservative as the last two)....

I heard that in San Diego, immediately after the game, the local news' lead story was the Spanos family begging for a new stadium :lol Are they fucking kidding? All this continued mediocrity ensures is more blackouts and less taxpayers willing to foot the bill for their stadium....
