Teabags Posted November 6, 2014 Report Share Posted November 6, 2014 Three more games next year with the two on consecutive weekends. They are testing it out for a franchise more than ever now. Jets @ Dolphins Bills @ Jags Lions @ Chiefs Pretty surprised the Chiefs are giving up a home game at Arrowhead. Guess they are pushing for a Superbowl in the next few years...These in London? You think they want a franchise in London? Am I totally missing something? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain America Posted November 6, 2014 Report Share Posted November 6, 2014 These in London? You think they want a franchise in London? Am I totally missing something? Sorry yeah. Goodell really seems to want a franchise in London. Testing how demand would be for a real season 3 games in 5 weeks. A real home season would only have 8 home games plus playoffs, so they are almost half way there. He's also said if you want a Superbowl you have to be willing to give up a home game to London.

colb Posted November 9, 2014 Report Share Posted November 9, 2014 6-4 and still bottom. AFC North is a horrible place to play this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain America Posted November 9, 2014 Report Share Posted November 9, 2014 Yeah I can't help but like the Browns though.San Fran games are hard to watch. I wish we'd just run it on 80% of plays. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ca_gere Posted November 10, 2014 Report Share Posted November 10, 2014 We only went and fucking won a game! Get in! Only the jets could go up by 3 or so scores in the first half, forcing 4 turnovers in the process and come within an onside kick of losing. Oh well, a win's a win. Fucking Jason Babin though... 3rd and 11, about to take possession with 2 minutes left, up 2 scores and he fucking takes big Ben out for a 15 yard penalty, automatic 1st down. It's shit like that that winds Jets fans up so much. Like Bilal Powell celebrating a touchdown too early last year and falling over. Slack and badly disciplined. Hoyer's gonna get injured, Manziel will come in and win a fairytale super bowl. Disney movie comes out the year after. Seriously though, the Browns are solid. Been great to watch this year. Da Bears... wow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Teabags Posted November 11, 2014 Report Share Posted November 11, 2014 4th quarter fumble could well end up costing us the playoffs. OUCH! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain America Posted November 11, 2014 Report Share Posted November 11, 2014 4th quarter fumble could well end up costing us the playoffs. OUCH! Another 3 sacks for Dareus though, what a season he's having. He's not getting much press because he's in buffalo but I think that's 10 sacks he's got already. For a DT that's pretty exceptional.

ca_gere Posted November 11, 2014 Report Share Posted November 11, 2014 The Sanchize is up and running! I just knew it'd happen. He's gonna take them all the way. Ok, he didn't do much, it was all defence and special teams, but still, he's risen from the ashes butt first. When all is said and done... Sanchez is an above average QB when he has pocket protection and big targets. He looked supremely confident that first half and was connecting nicely. I wish him all the best.

That eagles team has a lot of talent on the offense and a pretty good Oline. I think the Sanchize is in a tier below the likes of Alex Smith.

ca_gere Posted November 11, 2014 Report Share Posted November 11, 2014 I'll rephrase... he's adequate. Although, right now, as in compared with the rest of the active QBs in the league, i'd say he's above average. If you listed all current starting QBs i'd place him in the top half, maybe just.

ca_gere Posted November 11, 2014 Report Share Posted November 11, 2014 Strictly on current form, you could put RGIII in the bottom half.I'd also place Sanchez above Tannehill probably most weeks and Cam Newton definitely these past few weeks.Also Jay Cutty right nowDerek Carr is a better QB than Sanchez. OK, he's maybe a slightly below average QB on current form/situation. I'll rephrase... if you were to take every QB ever to play in the NFL, he'd be in the top half. This is all getting very ESPN dead time filler... I like it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain America Posted November 11, 2014 Report Share Posted November 11, 2014 (edited) Can't say he's better than Tannehill over 1.5 games! Tannehill has the Fins (less talented offense) at 5-4 and has a QBR about 90. Jay Cutler is playing awful right now but he's still a top 15 QB in the league. The Bears have just self destructed, anyone starting a franchise right now would pick up Jay over the Sanchize. I think Derek Carr will be a better QB but right now I'm not so sure, again though, there is not much talent on that Raiders team.I'll rephrase... if you were to take every QB ever to play in the NFL, he'd be in the top half. It would be amazing if we could actually get that list, I don't think he would be. He's been to two AFL champ games, but never because of him. That's when the Jets could play defence and run the ball. Edited November 11, 2014 by Captain America Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ca_gere Posted November 11, 2014 Report Share Posted November 11, 2014 I'm picking and choosing. Given Tannehill's previous 2 seasons and Sanchez's previous however many seasons, Sanchez is a better QB imo. Tannehill is playing pretty well right now but I'd still take Sanchez over him. Jay Cutler is a much better QB, however if you were to ask me who played better for their team in the last game and who I'd pick for fantasy points next week, i'd say Sanchez. Again, i'm totally picking and choosing. I don't know what my criteria is anymore. As for the every QB ever question... of course he'd be in the top half. Think of all the 3rd string duffers, the draft busts and the Byron Leftwich's of the world. He'd definitely be in the top half. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ca_gere Posted November 11, 2014 Report Share Posted November 11, 2014 To further dis/prove my point, here is a list of the top 250 QBs by passing yards. http://www.pro-football-reference.com/leaders/pass_yds_career.htm Sanchez is 152nd Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain America Posted November 11, 2014 Report Share Posted November 11, 2014 Oh right. I thought it would be based off of a started x number of games so it's more relevant to qbs who really played rather than held a clipboard. That passing yards one is a good one to base it off of I guess. I don't hate Sanchez but he came into the league and got carried to two title games and then held on for a couple of years playing really mediocre. I'm not even sure how Rex still has a job either now I think about it. But with that eagles team Sanchez could make some noise. As long as he's handing it to Shady.

Captain America Posted November 11, 2014 Report Share Posted November 11, 2014 Willis out for the season. Jesus injuries on defence are burying us this year. Only upside is that Borland gets to keep getting starts. He looks like he could be great! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The NFL doesn't quite have the same managerial merry go round as fitba but still, Rex is very lucky (or not) to still be HC of the Jets. I think this season is his curtain call though. It simply has to be. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain America Posted November 11, 2014 Report Share Posted November 11, 2014 Hmm the NFL has had about 8-10 head coaches change most years doesn't it?Percentage wise that's pretty high. I think you're right about Rex though. No playoffs he has to go. He will be sought after as a DC. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ca_gere Posted November 11, 2014 Report Share Posted November 11, 2014 Right, but the average tenure is a bit longer than in football. At least coaches tend to get to see out the year, which they often don't in the premier league for example. (edit: 2.6 years is the average tenure in the NFL v 2.2 in the EPL) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
colb Posted November 11, 2014 Report Share Posted November 11, 2014 (edited) It would be amazing if we could actually get that listhttp://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_NFL_starting_quarterbacksListed by team.

Captain America Posted November 11, 2014 Report Share Posted November 11, 2014 STATS, I love stats. Yeah your right only the real bottom tier teams do seem to ditch managers in the season. Raiders every year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
