somethingsomethingOAKLAND RAIDERSsomethingsomething0-16 IS POSSIBLEsomethingsomething: NFL Week 10

it seems like the last 6-7 years there's always been this "Cleveland could be decent this year" thing so it's not a surprise to me that one year they finally are

Got to be able to throw the ball. People complain about Romo and Cutler, but how bad would the Cowboys have been last year or the Bears the last couple years if they had QB play like Jville. Minnesota is probably more talented than the Bears, big time on defense, but they have had bad QB play.

for cleveland it has definitely been all about missing at the qb position, and brian hoyer is hitting the alex smith low bar that allowed KCC to make the switch from a similar team with talent that wasn't winning to a playoff contender. another team in that bracket is miami but since they have had tannehill it has been more o-line issues that have prevented them from popping. you can take the lead in a game and win with defense and rushing but you can't fall behind and win without a competent qb with a few seconds to throw the ball.

cleeves upcoming sched is p favorable, the showdown @ buff on wk 13 is huge, brownie can u liveblog it

lol, browns have played the bills every single year and now it finally may mean something. bound to happen eventually.

People complain about Romo and Cutler, but how bad would the Cowboys have been last year or the Bears the last couple years if they had QB play like Jville.

I know that Cutler has his flaws but he's almost certainly the best QB Chicago's had in about 3 decades. So it is a little odd coming from Bears fans who (in my experience) seem to universally hate smokin' Jay

I'd say ceiling for the Browns is probably 11 wins. They probably "should" beat ATL, HOUSTON, & CAROLINA. If they win those 3 and play .500 against the rest Bills, Colts, Bengals & Ravens you are at 11 wins. Nice to see them rebound after laying that hot duker against JVille after coming off that big win over the Steelers.

I think the Colts is the only team that could be a matchup issue for Cleveland, as their passing attack could put them down a couple scores quick. Then again while Indy is high powered, they have some black holes occasionally in their play on both sides of the ball.

I'm cool and hope Cleveland plays out well, it's been a long time.

Everyone hates Jay and Cutler definitely has some bad gunslinger tenancies at points, but criminy their offensive line has been bottom barrel to barely adequate. Turnovers do matter as it often puts the defense back onto the field and can wear them down, but Chicago's linebackers and defensive backs are not very good especially on tackling. They give up bunches of big after the catch plays.

they hate jay because he has upper echelon arm talent but is also a complete idiot, i don't know what's so hard to understand about that.

problem is the bears are looking at him like a franchise QB instead of looking at him like the new jeff george. that said, jeff george had one very good season w/atlanta and an even better one with the raiders. cutler could do it but i don't know if he will, like i think he's dumber than george was. albeit not as cartoonishly evil.

How are #Jets handling Geno Smith? I’m told before he was pulled vs. #Bills, coaches dictated his reads. Tried to simplify. It backfired

Ian Rapoport ‏@RapSheet 21m21 minutes ago
Most egregious example of heavy-handed coaching? Before Geno Smith’s pick by #Bills CB Stephon Gilmore, he was told to throw it to Harvin.

fake punt alert!!

michael vick is back i guess. steelers remain unfathomable, but 6 pass TDs should be enough to take this

jets in a 3rd and 46 situation

they should still win this

haha christ

wow 49er

VERY SUBTLE JIMMY GHRAM

jets in a 3rd and 46 situation

lol did that really happen? kind of bummed i missed this game it sounds terrible

saints nooooooo

ha, yeah at the end they got two personal fouls on the same play, one after the other (one was on Rex Ryan) after a sack. they were up by 14 at the time.

i support that actually. was it on a sack of rofflesburger? even better

just realized every time i hear joe buck saying THE GIANTS i have flashbacks to a certain super bowl :(

https://vine.co/v/OiZIzThhwPu

richard sherman/earl thomas INT in the end zone + manning face + coughlin bewildered/angry face + manning throwing up hands in frustration = awesome

rip super cards

oh man, was just talking to a friend today about the super cards.. like how are they 7-1, do they even have a QB? who's the QB? some guy? i guess it is some guy now.

lol giants are trash cant even pick up a football

i feel like i'm somehow responsible for the universe causing these things to happen, i've also been yelling "AND HE LOSES THE FOOTBALL" for several plays in a row and guys keep losing the football

tbf it has happened on every play so far

Drew "Some Guy" Stanton already won a few games for the Super Cards earlier this season, so...

his name is literally stand-in

haha pick6

not a great 4th for the giants imo

Or the Rams haha

The shine is off it a little this year, but the NFC West is probably still the strongest division.

cards speculating a torn ACL for carson

carson's gotta be ecstatic that he didn't take the weekend to think over that extension

he knows how to tear an acl by now. $20m in the bag, goodnight nfl, its been real.

i havent been watching much football lately; made the mistake of watching raiders broncos whyyyyyy

i saw a yahoo sports news headline earlier this week which read, 'trestman admits bears will consider moving cutler' and i felt a slight pang of hope, even though i have a soft spot for smokin' jay.

turns out the story was about how the bears are going to consider having cutler move around the pocket more. never let it be said that these bullshit sites don't know what will make their audience eagerly click through.

bears are so bad

JAX today was as futile as anything I've seen (n.b. I haven't seen Oakland yet this year)

you have got to be shitting me

it seems like every time i blink rodgers has thrown another 50+ yard TD

only took about 7 min of game time to go from a respectable 7-0 to 28-0

bears are apparently 71/29 pass/run inside the red zone this year, that is completely insane.

also bears have quit with time left in the first half

plz gb leave rodgers in for a few more tds and save my fantasy week

i have to believe this game is what will get trestman canned

yeah but not in one half

one half doesnt matter man the unit of play in the nfl is the whole game, also they could tried to score 100 points why not

@kentsomers
Palmer said he cried like a baby last night. Hadn't cried since Chris Henry passed away.

:(

wow what a fn coward smh

this is pretty fascinating. wish i could drill in. being 4-8 and getting to the playoffs is not bad. being 9-2 and not getting there? that is brutal.

very beautiful infos thank you

2008 Patriots (11-5) did not make the playoffs

the cassel patriots yeah, that one i was aware of. 2% has to be more than just them i figure.

oh goodness it's rick reilly on hipster linebacker conor barwin

(ftr conor barwin seems like a genuinely good guy)

the interesting takeaway there is the line where you just don't make the playoffs.
1-5 and 2-6, yeah i get it but you mean there's history of a team going 4-8 and making the playoffs?

wow cam nice pass bro

https://vine.co/v/Oi1w9PFAXBL

cam's pass blockers spending the game on their backsides

oof

Here's a fun fact. In 5 years with the Jets, Sanchez never had a 300-yard passing yard/0 turnover game. He's done it tonight. First start.
