NFL - Various and Sundry Items

[Teamcheez1]

We have our share of issues, but we have started the season 2-0. Around the NFL, things look even worse than our problems.

Romo and Bryant out for weeks.
Cutler now out for a couple of weeks.
Brees with a shoulder injury.
Stafford bloodied and bruised.
Suh just acting like Suh.
Chip Kelley's offense.

So Philly, Miami, Detroit, N.O. and Dallas are hurting even worse than the Packers, while Chicago has improved?

Hard to believe Jimmy Clausen still has a gig in the league...makes you wonder how bad the Bears' #3 QB is.

Allen Barbre is starting at LG for the Eagles. I think Murray misses the Dallas OL just a little bit.

[mraynrand]

Cutler is the first QB in a long time to leave with hurt feelings

I thought that meant either a) he finally figured it out or b) Chip saw something about him we didn't, at least for his system.

But it was c) he still is too slow to react to penetration. DTs and Des blew up a bunch of sweeps by shooting the G-T gap into the backfield.

Fantastic.

[smuggler]

Robert Lyons is one of the smartest players in the game, based on that statement alone.

Ragnar The Viking no longer with team due to contract dispute. Wanted $20,000 per game for the next 10 years. http://www.usatoday.com/story/sports/nfl/2015/09/21/ragnar-the-viking-gone-as-teams-mascot/72590786/

I hope he takes the horn with him

Did the Cowboys know the plays?

http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2015/09/22/eagles-wr-cowboys-were-calling-out-what-plays-were-coming/


Speaking to reporters Tuesday in Philadelphia, Eagles wide receiver Josh Huff said there were times when he lined up near the Cowboys’ sideline and could hear Cowboys players calling out what play was coming.

That’s not good.

In light of the Cowboys’ domination in that game, Eagles coach Chip Kelly promised everything would be evaluated before the Eagles play again Sunday at the Jets. Now, that probably will include how the Eagles signal in their plays and self-evaluate their offensive tendencies.

[KYPack]

If it's any solace to Barbre, the other guard played worse. Their OLine looked like pure dogshit.

Maybe the Cowgirls could have helped the Eagles by telling them the plays calls. The boys in green didn't seem to know wtf was going on.

Maybe Kelly ain't the big brainiac he's all hyped up to be.

A go-go offense like that takes lots of team cohesion.

Kelly big goal seems to be to run off all the high scoring veterans he had.

Doesn't seem to be working out for the boy.

If this were the other thread, I'd say punch Chip Kelly in the face, just for being arrogant.

And fortunately for the Packers, that hammy should be healed up by Thanksgiving.

That petition is funny, it states that he "is the most widely recognized mascot in the world." Umm, no. I don't even think he's the most recognized one in his own state.

How can you forget this guy!

I can't even get the right link to the Timberwolf mascot.

[smuggler]

I mean... i don't even know for sure if that's a gopher... wouldn't Patrick Stewart or Bill Murray have destroyed him by now if that were the case?

[pbmax]

Manziel is on the bench as the #2 QB to allow a McCown to start. Merrill Hoge rejoices.

[Fritz]

Manziel is Satan's version of Timmy Tebow.

Fall is here, and the Goodells have appeared in stadia all across the land. http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2015/09/24/goodell-being-interviewed-for-60-minutes/


That’s ending tonight; via multiple reports, Goodell is being interviewed by CBS’s 60 Minutes at MetLife Stadium, in advance of Thursday night’s game between Washington and the Giants.

Steve Kroft of CBS News is handling the interview, which via NJ.com is being conducted on the field at a “makeshift set with lights and cameras.”

Bart Hubbuch of the New York Post reports that a pair of NFL P.R. executives are listening to the conversation via headphones. As someone pointed out in response to that on Twitter, it’s possible they’re actually hearing a Patriots radio broadcast.

:D
