Well we have alot to be happy about. Decker and Hartline both go over 1000 yards proving once again that whites can be very good if not excellent outside receivers. They will both only get better as they are not in their prime yet. Denver and New England still look to be the class of the NFL doing it with majority white offenses. When will the dwf's ever learn? Not to mention the scouting and coaching reports that constantly tell us that this is not possible. The truth is actually the opposite. You want the truth? You can't handle the truth! Lol.

Happy to see Tannehill running a little more today. He had 53 yards rushing last time I checked with a long run of 30 yards. The kid can fly and his passing continues to imporve. You can tell that Hartline and Fasano are his favorite targets. Have you ever seen this kids wife? Wow! He is a lucky guy on and off the field.

I feel bad for Toby Gerhart but at least he will get a chance to sign somewhere else in another year. At least he is not being asked to block and be a battering ram like Hester was at San Diego. I don't think anyone expected Peterson to be having one of the greatest season rushing ever. You have to give Adrian his due. Gerharts time will come!

Hoping for a big win by the Patriots tonight. My biggest complaints over the last month or so are mainly just the running back situation and Nelson plus Gronkowski getting hurt. Overall it's been a good year and we have alot of good young white quarterbacks to root for.

Lions offense looked mighty white with Durham, Scheffler and Heller listed as starters. looked like 8 starters from lineup they showed on screen

Matthews is back with two sacks as well, good to see that!

Greenway had another monster day! 14 tackles, 2 tfl, 1 sack!

Hartline has 1,002 yards but Decker didn't go over 1,000.

both highlight shows I watched had nothing from the Denver Ravens game.....

Trent Richardson might not even reach 1k at this point with 300 carries, today with 11 carries for 28 yards, last week 18 carries for 42 yards. He is at 897 yards on 258 carries. It will be a shame if he does break 1k because there have been a ton of more talented Whites that could break 1k with 270+ carries, yet only a handful of Whites have gotten that many in the entire history of the NFL.

Watching the Redskins post game live and the talk is all about the genius of the Shanahan's. "Kirk Cousins had all day to throw" and "the wide receivers were wide open all day." To top it off, the first guy interviewed after the game was RG III.

Yep. I was pretty sure he didn't go over that mark today because he was in the 700 yard range. Who else do we have besides Harline and Welker? I think Witten is very close.

I think Witten is the only other one that is realistically close, 120 yards left. Hopefully Jordy can come back the next two games and at least get to 800, he is around 650 or 660, Amendola is under 600, hopefully he can get to at least 700 for the season, both would be big achievements considering the time they missed.

So Watt is at 19.5 sacks on the season. He needs 3.5 more to break the record. With two games left it's possible.

Let's not forget, Watt is doing this as a 3-4 DE!!! Most double digit sack guys are either straight 4-3 DE's or 3-4 OLB's. That makes his accomplishments so much greater.

Off the top of my head, only 3-4 DE I can ever remember putting up these monster numbers in the last 20 years (or more) is Bruce Smith, ex-Bills.

Damn - looks like Scam and Wigger Pete's Midget are both going to win today. The only icing on the cake is that San Diego is a caste team that has cast off it's white players in recent years and Buffalo under Chan Gailey and Buddy Nix has turned into an SEC team.

I love watching Denver. First Manning hits Eric Decker with a perfect bomb down to the 1 yard line. Then they give the ball to J. Hester to rush it in for the touchdown. He hasn't played much yet but I'm hoping he will become a little more involved in the offense as he continues to learn the playbook. Thank God he is out of San Diego. They tried to ruin his career. The kid can do more than block.


A few years ago in Hester's first year or two they were in a play-off game on a slippery field which had more or less neutralized Darren Sproles, who couldn't do his usual cuts. To me it was a sitation that begged for a Hester type back, who I'm sure would have helped move the chains. But no, protocol and racial politics wouldn't allow that. Wouldn't want to huwt widdow Dawwens feewings. And "lose the locker room."

And so San Diego lost another play-off game. Yet another caste moment in the NFL.

Weenieworld had a blurb about Richardson being a "grinder" this season because of his injuries. Excuse me, but this guy was drafted very early to great hype about being the best NFL running back since Adrian Peterson. He's had knee surgery since being drafted (as well as having knee problems at Alabama), and has had a rib injury that supposedly hasn't gone away yet. When he's already a "grinder" as a rookie when he was supposed to be all flash and dash, it doesn't look good for him having a great pro career.

What Watt is doing as a 3-4 end is beyond remarkable. Taking into account his batted down passes along with his sacks and tackles, he may be having the best season ever for a d-lineman. What an instant superstar and more!

Yes let's hope Watt has a positive impact and more white D-Linemen get drafted next season and moving forward. It does look like Stanford will be producing some big strong white d-linemen that should be early round picks in the next few years.

Seems like a very good week thus far!

It’s being reported that Rob Gronkowski could actually play tonight against the Maniacal Harbaugh Wigger and his Cocoa Crew. If so, let’s hope he has a good game but doesn’t re-injure himself in any way. With lowly Jacksonville and a beatable Miami team remaining, New England's #2 playoff seed is essentially on the line against the 49ers. That is, assuming Denver and Houston win out.

Witten just scored a 17-yard TD against Rooney's River Rats.

There's a White man playing corner for the Cowboys right now. His number is 30. I still can't believe my eyes.

And yet another great return of Amendola's called back.

this has happened this year at the collegiate level with a phenomenal returner, too. UConn's Nick Williams has had numerous touchdowns called back on punt/kick returns this season. he is possibly the most explosive collegiate player in the country that (almost) no one has heard of. still, though, despite his speed, hands, and game-breaking open-field running ability at 5-10, 180 (or so), Williams is a rarely-used slot receiver instead of a running back. you can't make this stuff up.

I hope it does. His performance as 3-4 DE reminds me of what Keith Millard accomplished as a 4-3 DT, 18 sacks in one season, 1 interception for 48 yards and 1 fumble recovery for a 30 yard td. Not sure how many tackles or pass deflections he had but he had 8 sacks the previous year, and two double digit sack seasons before that. Unfortunately he blew out his knee, the NFL decided to go different type of defensive tackle, shorter and fatter, but it was the 90's after his big season, a very dark decade.

I think with the 3-4 becoming more popular we will see more White defensive players in general. Most big White defensive linemen aren't 300+ pounds so they are viewed too small to play 4-3 dt, even though it isn't about being a fat, sloppy 300+ pounds, its about strength. Then we have guys are 250 to 260 pounds and considered "tweeners" that get moved to pass rushing olb, although they would do just as well as a 4-3 DE. Would love to see another Kelly Gregg type player emerge as a 3-4 NT, A White 3-4 NT is almost as rare as a White cornerback.
