Show Notes

 

The immortal Tim Tebow
Tebow was 4/15 for 40 yards going into 4th. awful performance. picked it up late.
spread the ball-8 different receivers. no picks.
led team to a 15 point comeback with 3:00 to go. not all on tebow. he didnt do the onside kick. miami gave up at the end. “suck for luck”

The black hole of raider nation
Raiders played awful without campbell. 3 picks by boller. 3 picks by palmer. 2 pick-6. rusty awful performances
Buyers remorse for raiders? palmer just needs time? they have a bye, then denver.

Stop! Or I’ll Plaxico.
3 td’s for Burress, finally getting some chemistry and getting into the fold with the Jets.

Bye Bye Bye
byes-browns, cowboys, dolphins, rams, redskins, cardinals, chargers, seahawks, titans all lost coming off their bye week. only broncos, chiefs and ravens won after bye. broncos beat miami, chiefs beat no qb raiders and ravens beat houston. are the new practice rules hurting teams?

the reason your a back-up
6 qbs made first season start: charlie whitehurst, christian ponder, jon beck, kyle boller, tim tebow, a.j. feely. only one to win was tebow. boller didnt even finish game, plamer threw 3 picks. playing qb is not easy!!!

QB play is easy
but playing qb is easy!! drew brees threw more touchdown passes than he did incompletions. 5 td’s 4 incomplete. but still consistenly listed below brady, healthy manning, rodgers. brees is elite but keeps getting overlooked. why? just as many rings as manning and rodgers. brees is leading the league in passing yards with 2477

brees: 18 tds, 8 picks 2477 yards 104.6 rating 5-2 record
rodgers 20 tds 3 picks 2372 yards 125.7 rating 7-0 record
brady 16 tds 8 picks 2163 yards 104.8 rating 5-1 record

Same ol’ Skins
After a good start to the season, washington has a case of mistaken identity
Hightower is out for the season, Moss is out 5-7 weeks. Rex grossman is in the hospital with pnemonia.

Saints went marching
62-7. wtf? is peyton manning that good? how can this colts team be this bad? the defense is awful, did manning keep the ball for that long that the defense was never under pressure?
Saints played nearly perfect. only 1 punt, only 1 penalty for 10 yards. 87% red zone efficiency, 75% third down efficiency, 38 minutes TOP, last team to score more than 60 points in a game were the 99 jaguars in the playoffs against miami (i think) plenty of 50+ games but that was last 60+

Monday Night Mix-up
Jags basially shut out ravens. defense played well.
ravens were 2/12 on third down. Flacco only had 137 passing yards with the late td and a pick. Gabbert had 93 yards. how do you go 4 quarters of football and only have 93 yards. 30 carries for 105 for MoJo. MoJo had 3 fumbles, Gabbert another, ravens could not capitalize. Severly fumble prone mojo and the RAVENS could not recover but 1. jags scored a field goal in every quarter. ravens finally scored just before the 2 minute warning. Called for illegal touch on the onside kick. Got called for a bullshit and i mean bullshit unneccessary roughness defensless receiver penalty. except for the jets and maybe steelers the ravens are always getting these bullshit calls. teams that play aggressive defense always get flagged, whether or not they are doing anything wrong.

Ryan-Fitz
been in the league since 2005, 7th round pick, 13-15 record with the bills, but the bills are getting better. contract is 6 years 60 million. 24 million guarenteed. This is for a guy the buffalo was almost ready to dump in the offseason. they have a winning record now, but can they maintain?

Trash Talk
Aaron curry talkin about the browns o-line,
Mavin lewis talking about plamer
Rob Ryan and Desean Jackson.

Injuries/Pick-ups
Peyton hillis, andre johnson, sam bradford all out this week.
Lions picked up safety Chris Harris off waivers from the bears. good in division pick up, should help an already stron defense.
