WTF was that?

You fake the play, hope to draw offsides. If the D doesn't jump, you kick the FG to make it a 2 possession game...
 
I'm not going to bag on Sánchez. He's looked actually decent and serviceable. Quick reads, decisive throws. Not putting him into high pressure situations. He's hitting guys right on the numbers and looking like a pro QB tonight. Kudos to Kelly for converting him into a useable QB.
 
I'd be hard up to decide the most disappointing team this year.

Carolina
Chicago
Atlanta
New Orleans

All four of those are just downright terrible as of late. Saints and Panthers have had really tough schedules so I'll give them a pass. Atlanta, Carolina and Chicago have just totally fizzled out the last 5 games.
 
This game is a bigger beatdown than Chicago suffered in Green Bay last night. Carolina is doing absolutely nothing right.
 
Thursday night football. Andy Dalton stinks it up.

Sunday night football. Jay Cutler trying to make you forget about how bad Andy Dalton was.

Monday night football. Cam Newton trying to make you forget about how bad Jay Cutler was.

Gotta leave Carolina off the most disappointing list. I mean, look at the loss of personnel over the off season.

Atlanta has a bad D. Didn't do too well last year. Everyone was expecting them to improve but you can't say they regressed from the previous year...

New Orleans. Little disappointing. But even then I wasn't expecting them to do much.

Chicago. They take the crown. Seriously. Jay Cutler is expected to be an elite QB and is paid like one. They have some defensive players who are considered top notch. They have offensive weapons galore. How can they not be the most disappointing team out of your list?
 
Dirty Sánchez has put some serious mustard on all his throws. They are getting lazered in there.

It's obvious Newton isn't 100% right physically. Plus, their O-line has been awful in pass protection. The Eagles have been getting good pressure rushing just three, with Barwin staying back in spy mode on Cam. And then, when the Eagles blitz almost anyone, they're not picked up. It's a slaughter out there.

Actually, that last one to Celek was as much a touch throw as anything else . . . and, yes, it was beautiful. :wub:

I don't quite get the amount of Brady-hate, here's a dude who got picked in the 6th round and had worked his ass off to rise to #2 on the depth chart when Bledsoe almost bled to death and he got his chance, hasn't looked past since. All the stats were against him ever being a successful NFL QB, too skinny, lacks mobility, average arm strength but what everyone missed was the biggest intangible of them all, the drive and heart of a champion who would not let his humble physical properties stand in his way..

It started with "The Tuck," gained momentum, was solidified with "The Brady Rule," and then just snowballed from there.

You're referring to not being allowed to hit QB's at the legs/knee area?

I think Brady's ACL facilitated that rule.

lol

that's exactly what I'm talking about. Most people that know what I'm referring to realize that had it been any other QB, the rule would not have happened.

That's not to say that it's a bad thing to prevent/discourage such injuries--it is--but that is not why the rule was in place. Had it been Sanchez or even, I dunno, DREW BLEDSOE, it would not have been interpreted (as we know it was) as a financial loss to the team for a "down season" but, more importantly, the NFL, for losing it's Golden Boy haircut for a season.

It's the general NFL motivation where they claim injury and player protection, but you know that's not what they care about. The rule would have only applied had it been 3 or 4 individuals at the time.

The NFL is about the protection of players that fill seats. You think PFM being injured by a stupid play is good for the NFL? Nope.

Sure, it sucks that rules are put in place to protect their investments and kind of ignored for those who don't, but that is how businesses work.

Crying because the NFL doesn't want to lose someone who fills fucking seats and blaming that player for it is beyond stupid. If you want to hate on Brady, do it for a good reason: like, you are hideous chud and can't fuck a supermodel every night, and he can.

I can understand the HC tackle though...never liked it.

You can't understand the no lunging, off the ground, at the knees of a QB though? That is incredibly dangerous, as you are going directly at the knees. The fact that it took Brady being sidelined isn't Brady's fault.
