No, I agree he's under-utilized. But the amount of moaning and wailing is way out of proportion to the reality, imo. What kind of offensive mind does it take to create an historic 7.6 ypc runner?

I guess I was just pointing out that the guy is not some sort of panacea that cures everything. There's dozens of people on this board repeatedly screeching about his touches, as if all we have to do is get him the ball and things will magically be great; but that's just not how it works. If everybody isn't doing their jobs, you can give him the ball as much as you want but still end up with 4 touches for 0 yards.

Actually I was just trying to lighten the near suicidal mood in here. The sprinklers came on during Jacksonville's 62-7 thrashing of miami back in the '99 playoffs They came on again today during the phish game. I thought maybe the memory of that game might put a small smile on somebody's face.

I never suggested any such thing. I simply relayed his 4th qrtr numbers that somebody asked for.

They went to him 4 times in the 4th qrtr; twice early and then on the last two offensive plays we had. He accounted for 0 total yards on those 4 plays

At least we can look back at this and laugh:

Well CJ got back to back touches Whaddya all gonna cry about now?

Mario has drawn more doubles today htan he's seen all year

Hard to understand why not with his massive size, power and lengthy history of moving the pile

lol that was designed for Kyle WIlliams

Read 'em and weep Edit: Link doesn't work right (due to frames?) but it shows that we are dead last in the NFL on 3rd down, giving up a whopping 46% conversion rate. And that was before today

Props to Dave Wannstedt for running the same set 11 times in a row. His consistency is a shining beacon that you know will always be there when you're not sure what to do.

The only TD they've given up was on ST and the offense has left 17 points laying on the field. They don't look good, but they're only down 1 score about to receive the kick so iit's not all bad either.

Cuz we only have 1 TE who can block

Who would notice? Hell, I thought they did weeks ago

Mario Williams getting a lot of attention from the Colts OLine

That's f'ed up when you won't even try a 50yrdish FG in the first quarter in a galdanged dome.

Unlike DaGimp's QB crusade, I like to talk about more than just one guy. I've already clearly stated that both of those throws were poor, but it's also worth noting that Donald Jones is not now, and will likely never be a capable NFL receiver.

Just because it was a poor throw doesn't mean it still shouldn't have been caught

He might have the tiniest catch radius of any starting WR in the NFL

I think Fitz missed him on a throw that he absolutely has to make every time

381

I'm one of those hoary old throwbacks who hasn't bothered with any of that Tivo tomfoolery.

No resemblance whatsoever. I think young Mr Griffin has more character, smarts and guts in one of his plaits than Newton is ever likely to have in his life.

I don't buy albums any more but I still buy quite a few songs. This last batch had a bunch of stuff from Trombone Shorty, Code Talkers, New Mastersounds, Primus, Railroad Earth and Lettuce.
