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.

Agreed it's patently absurd and violates the spirit of the whole challenge procedure. That said, Jim Schwarz has no self control whatsoever and is one of the biggest jackasses I've ever seen roaming an NFL sideline. It couldn't have happened to a nicer guy and I seriously doubt the Lions will ever approach their huge potential as long as those players have to work under him.

Much respect for Robert Griffin but it's very hard to trust a rookie QB on a short week. Edit: He just fired a 70yrd TD while I was typing that.

I've thought that to myself a couple times this season and don't recall thinking it before

Oh yeah, forgot about that. My daughter brought back a growler full of cherry beer from a local joint last night; I think we'll break it out right now and kill it before we leave!

I remember trying to disavow people of that notion before the game even started but it all fell on deaf ears. Then I remember trying to re-state the point after the game and being met with only ridicule. That squad was absolutely loaded for bear and ended up being another fine example of Bill Cowher's inability to beat people in the postseason when he consistently had a superior roster. Actually the most decisive and determinative QB in that game was none other than Drew Bledsoe. Nobody should have been surprised by that.

Viewing it in a player safety context is ridiculous. But I wouldn't mind seeing it eliminated just because it's all but pointless (see what I did there?-). Although I do like having several free minutes to make a drink/grab a snack/catch a smoke/do a chore between the moment somebody scores a TD to the time they actually line up to run another offensive play. I can't even remember the last extra point I actually watched.

I'm shocked that Kobe somehow turned it into something about himself. Shocked, I say!

Just restocked the deep freeze with 200lbs of local beef yesterday. It's a dry white meat at Mom-in-law's today (I'm no longer allowed to fry turkeys at T'giving cuz then nobody eats her bird:-) but fresh fat steaks tomorrow!

I won't disagree with you about his talent or his skillset, but I still have less than zero interest seeing him in a Bills uniform. I think he's dumber than a bag of hammers. I think he lacks any sort of resiliency or grit. I think the fact that he regularly displays the petulancy and reliability of a 9 year-old is a raucously flapping red flag that makes me not want him anywhere near the Bills locker room.
