Week 6 Discussion (Other Teams)

[allblackraven]

Not even Joe's as good as Tyrod.

 

Also, I can't believe we're talking about Tyrod in the Week 6 discussion thread with a game on.

I can't believe it took this long to start talking about Tyrod

I actually like Tyrod alot and wish him the very best, but some of those "start Tyrod"-guys on here. I mean...whatever, lets just watch Eli and his stupid giant face.

[allblackraven]

Eli plays like he's been sedated before the game

Friendly reminder there are people who actually believe that Wilson is a better QB than Flacco. 

I'd say this is the prevailing opinion.

 

Crazy that Flacco is called a game manager while Wilson is praised when he's the definition of that.

 

And for the record I don't even think there's anything wrong with being a game manager. But Flacco isn't.

Just saw something about Vontaze Burfict trying to intentionally injure Panthers players.

Remember, everyone, this is a thread for the games being played by teams other than Baltimore.

Hate seeing Cruz cry as he's carted off the field. Safe to say he's done for the season.

[PurpleLady90]

not a Giants fan, but it broke my heart seeing Cruz carted off the field wish him the best

[ratedr]

Eagles fans earning their reputation.

Giants can't even get garbage time points.

[JO_75]

So much for the Giants looking to be a decent team. Now that Dean Pees is how your keep the pedal to the medal and let a shut out, be a shut out.

[allblackraven]

Turned out to be real ugly injury for Cruz - torn patella tendon

 

That's surgery + 1-2 months in a cast + long rehab.

Can not believe the NFL put 49ers vs Rams as the MNF game tomorrow. What a horrible selection for a MNF game.

One of those games that looked good in the preseason.

Rams were a favorite up and coming team preseason. And they have always given harbaugh s 49ers trouble. I believe they will again. Should be better than this sad effort from this giants team. They just got smoked by a bad Philadelphia team.

[BrownsFan]

My two cents:

 

It was nice for once to watch a Browns game from start to finish and watch them absolutely dominate every single aspect of the game.  I think any Browns fan would relate that it has been a LONG time since that has happened.  It is only 100 times better since it was against Pittsburgh. 

 

I'm not taking any single thing away from Cleveland today because they were firing on all cylinders but as far as Pittsburgh goes I think it's similar to New England from two weeks ago - they just had a really bad game.  I know they're not the Pittsburgh of old but they're still a decent team and you don't just go THAT bad in a week.  I think speed is really catching up to them too - Tate and Crowell were shredding them the majority of the time they ran the ball.

 

As far as Mack - really tough loss.  Guy is a hell of a lineman but I believe Cleveland will be fine - OL depth has been getting better.

Rams are actually quite competitive against other NFC West teams.

Cleveland is definitely a legit contender. And looking at their next three games...they can easily be 6-2 by the midpoint of the season.

He's on a one-year deal, right? Do you think you guys could get him back on a one-year deal at a decent price?

Cleveland's a good team that's getting better. I think this year you'll peter off a bit but make every team work for a win (so glad we won our game at the Pound already). If you can keep building, I'd pick you as playoff smokies for next year.

Oh yeah, and thanks for beating the Steelers. Seeing them lose always does the heart some good.

[Inqui]

Also, if anyone thinks the Steelers or Bengals are melting badly, go and take a look at the Falcons forum. If you enjoy a good melt, you could probably spend the whole day over there.

I totally agree with that. I think the AFC North has a great chance of getting three teams to the playoffs this year with the Browns being the third team instead of the Steelers. Plus it seems they have another Derek Anderson/Brady Quinn situation with Hoyer/Manziel. Quinn was drafted as the franchise guy, Anderson played well enough to keep him on the bench. Hoyer is doing well enough to keep Manziel on the bench. Going to be interesting to see how they handle Hoyer's contract in the off-season.

Dear god, don't EVER suggest going there. It's the most disgusting and weirdest forum you could ever see. No, nobody go over there. I still remember how bad it was when the Jets beat them on MNF.

I agree, their forum is strange. They clearly have no mods with some of the stuff they get away with over there.

The AFC West will have something to say about that. Can't see one of San Diego/Denver missing the playoffs. You can't even completely count out the Chiefs at this point.

Decided to head over to the Steelers message forum to see how they're doing over there.  You know it's pretty bad when one of their topics is, "Next Winnable Game?".

Thanks for sharing. Skimming through that forum was very enjoyable.

Never been a believer in Wilson. Someone over at Bleacher Report wrote an article after the Redskins game about how Wilson was elite and there was no way you could argue against it. I loved reading the comments where people basically said you can't crown him elite after just one game and to wait until he showed it week to week.

Good to see he threw the deciding interception.

Sorry, originally wrote I'm not a believer in Luck, but if you know me, that's false. I love Luck

You just earned points with me. Not a fan of Wilson either. He'll crumble once they have to pay him.

I think he does well when he's not asked to do much. He's one of the ultimate game managers

Agreed. Seattle still has the pieces to make him look good but the question is if they can maintain their success once they have to pay him, Wagner, Okung, Irvin, Avril.

They're cap number next year before any moves is $133 million, so they may find out quickly how hard it is to maintain a team. It's great when you're core players are on small, rookie deals, but what about when they want to get paid?

Yep I agree. I'll be watching them. I personally favor the Cardinals to become the new powerhouse in that division. They have the pieces outside of a franchise QB, but what they have there isn't bad. They need a pass rusher and a franchise QB, really.
