impressed with what kafka did. now for the 100 million man to miss a few weeks. tell me again why a high risk high reward player is worth it at qb? i dunno if a few rushing tds and a few extended drives are worth the fumbles and the long stretches with a back up qb.
 
I think I was wrong about Cam Newton. I did not think he would translate into an NFL pocket passing QB... but hot damn was I wrong. Very impressed with how little he is running, and with how he stays in the pocket and makes his read progression. If Carolina can put together a running game to draw some of the defenses attention, that will help too.

Tavaris Jackson is the worst starting QB in the league. My Seahawks might break their low scoring records of the Rick Mirer/Dan McGwire era at this rate.

Love what is going on in Buffalo and Detroit.

Anyone have the Red Zone deal with Comcast? What does it do exactly? I know it does not allow you to watch each game like Sunday Ticket, but the say you see every scoring play, or at least TD. Is it worth it? Can you sign up for DirecTV and only get the Sunday Ticket with nothing else?
 
Red Zone is AMAZING, love it

Stafford doesn't have knee issues - it's been his shoulders

Tavaris Jackson is actually better then the McClown starting in Jacksonville - I think the era of Hibbert starts very soon, this week or next.
 
I don't think anyone expected McClown to last more than 2 or 3 games before they switch to Gabbert in JAX. Rarely does a rookie QB start the first game, which makes Cam's performance all the more incredible.

So what exactly does Red Zone give you or show? Is it like a studio show that shows highlights of scoring plays right after they happen?

Right after or during.

It's basically a studio show with 1 commentator who shows you all the "action" as live as they can make it. Usually, that translates into red zone chances and they will show every TD of every game. If there are 2-4 games with scoring chances, they'll split the display and show both, etc. While showing the live stuff, they usually switch over to the real commentators for that game, such as the CBS/FOX guys.

There are no commercials so they're basically showing live games or as close to live as possible the entire time from 1PM-7PM Eastern or whatever it works out to. If every single game on is in commercial, they'll show previous highlights so it's not total nonstop action but as much as possible. There are more lulls in the afternoon games since there are fewer games so they might end up showing regular action, like drives from a team's own 20 after a kickoff or something. But for the early games, it's essentially tons of red zone/scoring live action for 3 hours.

It's pretty good for today's ADD generation and for keeping track of fantasy stats if you're in a league.

It is kind of nice because it's all the interesting plays for all the games. The only downside is that it's rather expensive. I saw 50/month with my provider.

so Redzone is like my normal practice of recording games, then skipping every ad, TO, HT, and all the down time between play-end and ball-snap?

:hmm:

That's how I watched it, a stream from London. Shame that in Argentina, Canada, ect, NFL games are available as PPV, only here in NA one must switch to Dish network to watch out of market games..

No way really? I think it's like $7 for me. Well worth it though, I basically just sat on my ass for 6 hrs straight yesterday watching this.

so... who's leading the NFC East now?? LMAO!! HAIL!!!!!!

they were leading last week too, and will at worst be tied for #1 next week!

when the hell is the last time the skins were #1 in the division for 3 weeks in a row?

WTF IS GOING ON HERE?!??!
 
Ugly.
Just plain ugly.
But, a win is a win.
While I can't say I enjoy seeing the Packers D give up 400+ passing yards/game this year, I do enjoy watching them step up when needed.

The goal line stands the past two weeks have been epic.
The 4th down play in the 4th quarter yesterday...Clay Matthews with the big sack against Cam Newton.

Bend, but don't break. That seems to be the mantra for the Packers Defense this year. Also I think that there is now a blueprint now for beating the Packers, don't rush Aaron Rodgers. Dare them to run the ball on you.

Next week its daBears. Whoa nelly!
