Great to follow the boring Jags Cowboys game british tv now has blackfest Giants and Seahawks may try to stay up watch Green bay at least be able to watch Rodgers and Nelson!

You might want to prepare for more disappointment. The formula is set for Jordy to have a big game tonight: At home, coming off a loss/bye, against a struggling CHI team, overdue for a big game, and prime time.

Which is exactly why we may see a 4/60/1 line, and Randall Cobb will probably have the big game instead.

John Lynch blames a delay of game not on the black center or Krapernick, but on guard Alex Boone.... seriously, you can't make this stuff up...

Yeah you are probably right, rather than wait for half one in the morning british time best of going bed lol. Be just my luck he will go and have a stormer though. Love watching Rodgers at work too he is such a good player its insane for me how good he is.

Yep, that’s the “formula,â€￾ alright. Perhaps Rodgers will be kind enough to toss him a long TD of 50-60 yards before ignoring him the rest of the night. It would be great to see a repeat of Week #2 against the Jets, where Nelson was targeted 16 times, with fantastic results.

The commentators are ragging on Gerhart. Saying that hes not even good in short yardage situations.

While the situation with Gerhart is disappointing, I don't particularly feel bad for he nor Eric Decker. The knew what they were getting into. They were the marquee free agents this offseason, and could have taken their pick. Gerhart chose to go to the lowly Jags, and Decker decided to join the circus in NY with Rex, Geno, and Vick.... I feel like there were better situations out there. Hope for the best tho...

Why did Josh McCown start over Mike Glennon? Is Glennon injured?

LB Chris Borland recovers a fumble to set up a short, game-winning FG. Borland's final statline: 17 tackles, 2 TFL, 1 FR.

This dude is a faster version of Zach Thomas. He should be a great LB for many years.

Borland has been nothing short of spectacular. The whole predraft "knock" on him was he had short arms and was undersized. That is proving to be nothing more than another case of caste bull****. The fact is that all the moronic GMs, front offices and scouts do not believe in productivity, instincts, discipline and near perfect fundamentals as desired traits when it comes to drafting a player. They would rather put all their stock in the mythical "upside" 99% of the time.

They dont have time to wait for Glennon to devolop, the Bucs are trying to win right now!!:icon_wink:

To me Mike Glennon is a franchise quarterback. You stick him in the lineup, leave him there and let him develop.

The Bucs don't know what they're doing.

Totally agree with you EP. Lovie Smiff clearly does not know what he is doing. They should have given Glennon this whole season to develop. It is obvious from the rest of their roster that they were not going to be doing much this season anyways.

How can any defense let Wilson run like that? It's such an easy play to defend against with any short of discipline.

It's because the Giants coal-black defense and their negro defensive coordinator with that ****-eating look on his face are utterly useless.

I think he knows exactly what he's doing. He's screwing over Mike Glennon so he'll be in a prime position to draft the next black hype, Famous Jameez

Drafting Winston will set a franchise back 5 years. He has become a turnover machine and is just a complete liability for any team off the field. He should get 100 times the negative press Manziel got prior to the draft. He really is not much different than Josh Freeman as a prospect so if the Bucs want to make the same mistake twice. Hatie will be out of a job much sooner if he drafts jameez which is fine by me.

Jacksonville was the only team to go after Gerhart as a starter. And with Bortles they are a young team that should improve. Robinson hasn't proved that he's durable yet. Toby could still shine with Jax.

As for Decker, Smiff is all but done as a starter and Vick is near the end of his career. Decker has plenty of time to light it up in New York with a competent quarterback.

Two years ago it was Kuechly. Last year it was Alonso and Warrilow. This year it's Borland. A few years earlier it was Laurainitis and Matthews. Some highly touted, some not. Put in a White player anywhere on defense, not just linebacker, and usually you get an excellent player. But so few get an opportunity. The more Whites star on defense the more they continue to be phased out.

I agree with both your posts Don. What nfl teams don't want white defenders just baffles my mind. They are just as athletic and usually make better decisions. In my opinion they also are better at wrapping and and making the tackle. :becky:

Connor, Poz and Sean Lee were all victims of this as well. At some point you have to think the levy is going to break and people are going to start re-evaluating the draft process. I think if "moneyball" was applied to the NFL there would be at least a 15% uptick of white players.

I personally think it could lead to more linebackers coming through surely the success of Kuechly, Alonso, Worrilow and now Borland must help in the medium to long term. Maybe it will help more come through.

James Morris could be the next one coming through at New England he would of stuck on the roster this year if not for injury he was great at Iowa and the pats liked him enough to keep him on IR not just cut him so another team could have him.

I have only been an avid fan of the NFL for the past say 4 years, so I don't really know if the success of Kuechly etc is an improvement on the past 10 15 years or whether there has always been a trickle of white premium tacklers coming through the system??

Im so sick of watching NFL defenses especially against the Seahawks! What's so damn hard about loading the box and stopping Lynch?! This Giants Defense sucks! JPP and kiwanuka are shells of their once athletic selves. This giants LB corp is one if the weakest in years!! Shout out to Giants defense for.single handily making me lose in fantasy football. Simply can't tackle lynch. So soft!!
