2016 NFL Week 9

Don Wassall · Nov 2, 2016

I went to post this in the Chargers team thread but see that we haven't had one since 2013 lol. Thanks to injuries, Kyle Emmanuel will be starting at inside linebacker this week. He's been playing a lot on the outside so far this season but this is an opportunity to make his mark on the inside as the position is unsettled since Manti Teo was injured early on and Teo isn't that good anyway.

Thin Chargers turn to Kyle Emanuel inside

Good for Emmanuel, glad he's getting playing time early in his career and avoiding a racial apprenticeship few whites are lucky enough to escape. Dzubnar should be in line for playing time as well I'd imagine. Too bad Chargers screwed things up with Weddle and let him walk as that defense would be even more enjoyable to watch.

Ps Chargers sumo OL stinks!

It seems that all of a sudden teams decided to completely disregard how players play and go with black offensive linemen just because they're black. This is what they did with other positions and now it's happening with offensive linemen.

You'd think they'd wise up when they see it isn't working, but they don't.

At the end of the season it will be interesting to see the number of white starters each playoff team has along the OL. Be a good thing to note in determining how much they contribute to a teams success like many of us here believe it does.

Chris Conte starting for the Bucs tonight........hopefully Adam Humphries and Austin Hooper will have good offensive games.......

Don Wassall · Nov 3, 2016

Weird Uncle Al and Crissie now also doing the Thursday night games??? Being subjected to them on Sunday nights isn't enough apparently.

Leonardfan · Nov 3, 2016

Matt Ryan continuing his elite play tonight. Glad to see the blackaneers struggling with Anus at the helm.

Bmore Dan · Nov 3, 2016

LOL Winston looked like crapolla tonight.

white lightning · Nov 3, 2016

Matty "Ice" is lighting it up. I love to see this former accused rapist Winston doing horrible in the nfl. Most guys
wouldn't have gotten away with half what he did yet he is still making millions as an overrated qb.

Bmore Dan · Nov 3, 2016

Winston's garbage time heroics got Glennon in the game.

Don Wassall · Nov 3, 2016

A few Crissy-isms from tonight's borecast: He said all the players on Atlanta's (all-black) defense had "40-something verticals." He claimed several other (black) players had 4.2 and 4.3 40 times. And his prescription for Tampa's woes on offense were to acquire another receiver and another tight end, meaning replacing Adam Humphries and Cameron Brate.

Tampa has the seemingly obligatory immobile sumo starting at left tackle, Donovan Smith, who was effortlessly beaten all game. Winston is inconsistent throwing the ball and does not sense pressure well. And Tampa lost yet another RB to injury near the end of the game. Another five or six injured backs and they might have activated Dan Vitale if Cleveland hadn't claimed him off the Bucs' practice squad a few weeks ago.

Leonardfan · Nov 3, 2016

Donovan Smith was garbage at Penn St when Hackenberg was playing there and was one of the reasons Hack was always under duress.

BeyondFedUp · Nov 4, 2016

Matt Ryan and the Falcons look very good. Dang, Ryan looks MVP and that offense is firing on all cylinders. Take away Ryan's fluke fumble and them letting up at the end, and they could have gone for 55, maybe 60+. The NFC better beware.

BeyondFedUp · Nov 4, 2016

Here's Matty Ice shredding the TB D':

I think Crissy may be embellishing a bit; Atlanta's defense currently ranks 25th overall, and dead last against the pass.... Good thing they can run fast and jump high, I guess....

Good thing they finally upgraded now that Worrilow is gone! Ya right .

Crissy also referred to Worrilow as a "mentor" to the team's young linebackers last night, after noting how Worrilow had led the team in tackles three straight years. That's a nice way of saying he's been caste aside. For some reason I highly doubt the black linebackers on the team look to Worrilow as a "mentor." At 26 Worrilow should just be entering his prime years. He's also quicker after studying martial arts this past offseason. But the Falcons' DWFs and eventually the organization itself decided Paul had to make way for "real" linebackers.

celticdb15 · Nov 4, 2016

Falcons treatment of Worrilow is sickening, even more sickening is 31 other teams passed on a proven LB as the trade deadline is already dead and gone.

Currently on ESPN Bill Polian is setting the record straight about the quality of play in the league right now. Not to blame the refs for throwing flags when there is poor tackling, OL play, and declining fundamentals!

Polian is one of the last sane minds when it comes to football and the NFL.

A great talent who couldn't avoid injuries, especially concussions.

Dolphins placed TE Jordan Cameron (concussion) on injured reserve. Cameron has not played since suffering a concussion Week 3 against the Browns, his fourth since 2012. He is certainly done for the season, he is likely finished with the Dolphins, and it is possible he has played his last game in the NFL. MarQueis Gray and Dominique Jones will handle the tight end duties this week with Dion Sims (concussion) also out.

Here's some food for thought:
Deion Jones
40 yd dash at combine- 4.59 (supposedly ran a 4.39 at LSU's pro day, but I have my doubts, and even if he did, straight line speed doesn't really matter much at linebacker)
20 yd dash - 2.67 (2.52 at pro day)
shuttle - 4.26
3-cone - 7.13

Paul Worrilow
40 yd. dash at pro day - 4.59 (wasn't invited to combine, for obvious reasons)
20 yd. dash - 2.59
shuttle - 3.97
3 cone - 6.50

Hmmm, so what happened here? Looks like Worrilow is every bit as athletic as Jones, and then some... On top of that Worrilow was extremely productive and a team leader; so I wonder what the problem was?

Fat lard and former college AAQB Marqueis Gray is still in the league?! What a joke!! Dominique Jones and Dion Sims round out the worse TE Corp in the country. lol wow Tannehill is screwed. The talent they surround him with should be flipping burgers at Burger King.

Stinks about Cameron but the writing was on the wall, injury prone for last 4 years, it's a Damn shame.

Leonardfan · Nov 6, 2016

I really hope the Browns pull off the upset. So sick hearing about Dak Prescott.

Leonardfan · Nov 6, 2016

Nick Foles starting fo KC.

Flint · Nov 6, 2016

Vikings have the leagues best defense, and the Patriots have the leagues best offense. What is unique about those teams?

Odd that the teams with the most white guys on them are playing the best. How can that be? Shouldn't the other teams be a lot more afletic?
