Official Week 12 Other Games Thread

Batch is throwing like his arm is a slingshot or Doug Flutie. Got picked off and newly Jim Brown approved Trent Richardson cuts back for a 15 yard TD. The Browns might have an offense to give to their new coach/GM.

Couple comments.

1. Nobody in the NFL gets away w/ more push offs than Brandon Marshall. Nobody. It's unreal what he gets away with game in and game out and how many of those get called on the defense. he shoves a defender in the endzone and the defense draws the flag.

2. I hope this QB change bites SF right in the ass. All Smith had done is complete 70 fucking percent of his passes this yr. 104 passer rating.
Last 2 games he was 18/19 and 7/8 in his passing. Yet they go w/ a guy who, yeah had a great game vs Chicago, but it was one game. Maybe he's the next great thing but I don't think you bench your starter because your back up had a good game in relief. Not when said starter has been money all season. I hope karma kicks them in the ass. all SF has done for Alex Smith since he got drafted was ass fuck him. at least he got paid.

also I've always liked Chad Henne. It's nice to see him play well finally getting a shot in Jax. I think he's more than serviceable as a starter and one hell of a backup on a contending team.

I think SF is making a big mistake. Last time I remember something like this happening was with the QB pbmax just made reference to - Doug Flutie. He stared all season for Buffalo, and had a 10-5 record. Rob Johnson came in week 17 and lit it up. Buffalo's coaching staff and ownership didn't like Flutie to begin with, named Johnson their starting QB for the playoff game, which they lost (Music City Miracle).

re: getting paid
he was before the new rookie wage scale - he got paid alright. I saw another article about Jake Long saying his contract negotiations are going to be difficult, because he was a #1 pick under the old system, and that over-inflated contract will be the starting point for his 2nd deal. What is his market value now, as a good, but not elite LT?

Gee, I wonder where Brian Brohm is nowadays.

Troy Aikman is on fire. Or at least he is being contrarian after a good Packers game for him on Thanksgiving. While Joe Buck keeps prattling on about Kapernick's ability to generate big plays, Aikman is pointing out that even with Kapernick, 49er personnel not well suited to AFL football and throwing the football downfield as Vernon Davis drops a 15 yard pass.

Kapernick is lightning fast though, so he can get out of pocket and trouble and collect yards quickly. Seems will to stand in first to try and make the throw. Will be interesting to see what he is doing in 3-4 weeks when opponents have digested film on him.

Brees just threw away his team's great effort to have a 7 point lead with a bad pick 6.

[Joemailman]

Steelers fumbled 8 times, losing 5 and had 3 passes intercepted. Amazing they were in the game, although I guess playing the Browns helped.

really?

I like Kapernick. There will be some growing pains, but I like his swagger for a young guy. It certainly doesn't look to big for him.

He seems alright but my overriding dislike of Harbaugh causes me to hope it will go down in flames yet.

Yeah, he seems to be proving the big plays theory correct. Fox said they had 4 plays over 20 yards, though I am not sure those are all offensive.

Mad seems superstitious. He has started the Game Day thread late in each of his previous weeks and is on quite a streak.

I am right on the Schadenfreude train with you.
