I know most people here were rooting for the Patriots but I look at the positive and thats Ryan Tannehill came one step closer to becoming an elite QB in this league today. The Miami DWF's and some DBF's like Omar Kelly (local Dolphins reporter) want so badly for this team to draft a quotaback and declare Tannehill a bust. It looks like thats not going to happen. Tannehill was balling today and Brian Hartline has been a major contributing factor in his success. The only thing I really wish we had was a white seam-busting tight end like a Jason Witten-type or like the guy they have in Cleveland.
Man, what a rough day so far! I was rooting for the Patriots, Eagles, and Redskins (only so Cousins could have a win in his first start), and all of them lost! On the upside, nobody can really say that Brady, Edelman, Amendola, Collie, Foles, Celek, Cooper, Cousins, or Paulsen played badly. Hope I'm not forgetting anyone. Pats and Eagles can still stay in the playoffs, and Cousins made a good showcase of his skills.
Witten with a nice 25 yard TD reception.......shucking a DB off of him like a ragdoll the last few yards.
The interceptions hurt, but I thought Cousins played well overall. With him starting, the redskins were still in the game until the end. There is an article over at cbs sports by dwf writer Jason Lacanfora where he is trying to lay blame for the redskins offensive woes on shanahan jr. I bet he feels pretty stupid right now after all the big plays Cousins made with the same players. It's written on the wall. The issue has always been the Gremlin not Shanahan.
I am happy for Tannehill. It's not easy to pull a win on Tom Brady. This was a big win for his career. Tannehill is a franchise qb.
Wilson and Kaepernick combined for 409 yards and 3 TDs today. They aren't game managers though. :whistle:
Sounds like McGloin is having a rough game against KC. two picks and losing 35-17 at the half. And a lost fumble.
I'm sorry but Matt Lynn is simply not an NFL caliber starting QB. He's at best a back-up, and if he carves out a career out of that, good for him. It still beats working at a regular job.
The key point is that Cousins and Griffin are playing with the same players. This allows a direct comparison. Unfortunately, even if Cousins outplays Griffin, the media will still clamor for Griffin. They'll make all sorts of excuses for Griffin.
Even though the Eagles lost, Nick Foles had a QB rating over 100. Again. It looks as if Foles will be a premier quarterback for years to come. Not bad for a 3rd round pick.
finally Nelson's TD! had to wrestle it out of DBs hands... their QBs not named Rodgers are not very good...
and in timely fashion, right after i've given up on him McGloin is clawing his team back. he's definitely better than Pryor
Ballard TD. Another white TE introduces himself with a TD. I'm pretty sure the white TE core is a lot more productive thna the black one so far this season, even without Gronk
The backup is only good if the QB is black. I don't think Matt Flynn is terrible. He just doesn't have the arm to fit the ball into those tight windows that Rodgers makes look so easy.
After those last two catches you might be right!.........the announcers didn't seem nearly as impressed as I was on the one-handed grab
