Atleast it's not us week 1

by The Profiler on Sep 15, 2011 7:42 PM EDT

Week 1 is in the books the Lions WIN with a tough defense. Impressive on all levels. The one negative thing that stuck out to me was Stephen Peterman. I will hold my ranting for later discussions. This is 10 headlines involving teams outside the D.

1. Kyle Orton is still facing fans who need a life. A group is trying to raise money to buy billboards in denver to convince coach Fox to start Tim Tebow. Has yet to be confirmed but Tebow is rumored as the 3rd string QB. If Tebow was better than Orton wouldn't they have traded him...O wait they wanted to until Tebow had the job!

2. Brandon ( My Leg You Bitch!) Marshall calls Chad Henne the white Michael Vick. You heard me this means one of two things. Chad Henne is a Ex Con or Micahel Vick is is hearing chants of KYLE ORTON while he is throwing for 400 plus vs the Pats.

3. Heath Evans is picking Stafford as a standout player for sunday. Not because he thinks it's right but he wants the Lions fans to stop harassing him on twitter. I just want to thank the POD for harassing this Hack. I am proud to know all of you lol.

4. Joe Flacco finally beat Big ben. Guess that is what everyone wanted right? Oh did I forget the giant ASS HANDING that was delt to Ben. I feel like a rape joke is neccisary hear but I can't come up with one. I'm sure you guys can help me out.

5. Brian Urlacher lost his mother this week. In all seriousness I have TONS of respect for Urlacher but this guy is tougher than I though. He was back to practice the next day. Condolences to Urlacher and his family. I am sure Drew Brees will have his work cut out for him. If Favre taught us anything a man playing with a heavy heart is dangerous. Put that heart in Urlacher I don't wanna be the QB on that team. Stay tough 54.

6. Eric Berry was placed on IR this week. The young saftey was poised for a break out year. KC is not looking like they are in the same postion they went into last season.

7. Teddy Bruschi is still a D bag. Being a D bag is the Patriot way isn't it? Telling Ocho Cinco to get off twitter and into a play book. Gotta say in my opinion Bruschi is just running his mouth. What Chad does or thinks isn't his problem or concer. Why? It's not his team he's a retired linebacker with nothing better to do.

8. Scam Newton I mean Cam Newton broke the record for passing yards in a NFL debut. Instead of talking about Cam and Steve Smith blowing up in a opener. Why isn't anyone talking about how horrible Arizonas defense is. That was inexcusable. The Cardnials defense allowed that to happen. DRC anyone?

9. Ted Ginn JR for one day in his life showed why he was picked in the 1st round. Multiple returns for TD for the 49ers. He wasn't alone Patrick Peterson, Cobb, and others ALL returned kicks for touchdowns. Guess they did ruin the best play in the game. Right now it looks like it won't be special it will be the norm to take it to the house.

10. Mike Vick returns to hotlanta. With the "Dream Team". yadayadayada you heard it all. I must say this though how many times does Matt Ryan have to be asked about Vicks return? He wasn't there, New team, New Day right? Yet you know Vick jerseys will be all over Atlanta. I guess you can chalk that up to another franchise QB being dissrespected by his own fans. But unlike Romo Matt Ryan dosen't deserve it.

11, ROMO CHOKES AGAIN - Just love that headline

I must be the only person in America that thinks Orton can play....

As long as he’s put in a stable, supportive situation.

I think he is a solid QB

Never gonna be a franchise QB but surrounded with a good defense a run game and good weapons I think he has playoff potential.

That game had intermittent monsoons

and he was playing behind a porous line that pretty much stepped aside to let the Raiders run free at him. I think he is better than that game.

I hope so. I have Lloyd.

That is a great point

The problems with the Denver Broncos is not the QB position. That is what upsets me the most about the whole Tebow/Orton debate. Fix the lines, the RB position, then when Denver isn’t winning the fans should start complaining about Orton.

What's the depth chart out there?

Orton/Quinn/Tebow?

Sounds like they did that to quell the Tebow fan chant…..duh….didn’t work.

Fox is a good coach, those idiots need to suck it up for a couple of years and let him and Elway straighten it out.

Exactly right and I think thats what they mean to do

I really they have a real albatross with Tebow. The folk that JC was I believe referring to above, make up a statistically significant percentage of Denver’s fan base. Or at least they do in these parts. Those folk just adore the young man and are not going to be happy until he is given the job.

I was going to post that but changed my mind....

What does DEN have to lose by playing Tebow if their in a rebuild situation, except the FO doesn’t want to face that fact just yet.

Josh sure did F-up that organization in no time.

Still makes me chuckle.

Breathtakingly fast. Ive never seen anyone do that to an organization in that little amount of time. I dont understand why they dont move Tebow to H-back. He’s a good at running the ball. I assume he can catch. He’s big enough to block from an H back or 2nd TE. At least they might could get a little production for their money.

Now thats a curious grouping

Im starting to be slightly taken aback at the amount of Lions fans that seem to have an affinity for the Broncos. S’all good of course, Im just jealous. The only two teams I ever liked besides Detroit died. The Rams and the Oilers

I think it's more circumstance Jeff

Everyone knew Orton from Chicago and followed the Cutler trade, everyone hates Brady Quinn, and anyone who doesn’t know Tebow never had to be subjected to the odious amount of press coverage he received during the draft.

Thank you.

by TCLion on Sep 15, 2011 11:11 PM EDT up reply actions

It could that Tebow himself does not want to move

Remember that guy the Dolphins drafted… Pat White? He refused to change positions. It could be a similar situation. The best thing that happen to Tebow is that he was drafted in the first round. The worst thing that happen to Tebow is that he was drafted in the first round. Hard to justify to the fans that a 1st rd pick is a project. And needs to sit for a fews years when your team is not winning. Also hard to justify to the current FO/coaching staff that a 1st rd pick, that lacks the overall skill to play a position, to start him at that position. When he is clearly not even the second best QB on your roster.

by JCruize on Sep 16, 2011 7:21 AM EDT up reply actions

What i dont get with tebow is that its not like he’s not talented. He just doesnt have what it takes to be a succesful QB. I would have to agree he should be switching posistions and as long as he keeps the same attitude he has now he could be way better as anything else than he ever will be as a QB.I would say TE.But a project he most definitely is

by Michael21 on Sep 16, 2011 11:09 AM EDT up reply actions

At the very most he's a wildcat-only QB

he just doesn’t have the accuracy for the NFL, and I don’t think that’s something you can teach at this point.

by TheLoneDavid on Sep 16, 2011 12:06 PM EDT up reply actions

Nope not without him being bounced around from roster to roster and eventually becoming the bust we all know he will be at that posistion.At this point its on him to realize he doesnt have the mechanics to accel at that posistion.If he wants to continue and have a succesful career in this league its him who needs to change not the league around him.

by Michael21 on Sep 16, 2011 12:55 PM EDT up reply actions

I'm still not convinced

That Josh McDaniels isn’t working for Bill Belichek as a covert operative. “Go forth to every other team in the NFL, be it as a head coach or coordinator, and proceed to ruin their franchises. Once all 31 other teams are in ruin, return to me, my young disciple.” First he completely runs the Broncos into the ground, and now he’s finding ways to try and kill the Rams offense. “Amendola, Bradford, AND Jackson all hurt? cackles maniacally My work here is nearly complete…”

Bill Belichick's real name is Darth Cheatus.

Arizona's defense was pretty bad

But you still have to give Cam Newton some credit. He threw some really good passes and he worked really hard for the win. In the end his O-Line was letting him down and I thought he did a really good considering it was his FIRST NFL game. He finally brought some life to an offense that was probably the worst in recent history last year.

I watch the Detroit Lions and I....

by Lions & Panthers Fan on Sep 15, 2011 10:50 PM EDT reply actions

Agreed.

You have to give Cam credit. Plus, Arizona was throwing the house at him. The blitzes may not have been successful, but we all know plenty of rookie QBs with “happy feet” who would crumble with even the idea of a blitz.

I used to be, when I liked baseball.

Sadly, between the way the game treats the small markets, corked bats and all the other crapola, it just lost all its charm, for me. When I was a kid, Al Kaline, Snortin Willie Horton, Gates Brown and Joe Coleman were my favs

Vegas is in the SD/Oak market but not the 9ers…go figure. We rarely get Az games.

Good stuff, got a couple good laughs in there

#4: You could say that that Flacco had his way with Ben, I mean he should probably change his last name to “I like em Big when I Ben Dover”. Or maybe he should go with “My name is Ben, could you please Rape this burger?”

#7: Teddy is the typical ex athlete in denial, hanging on by a thread to his former team by putting himself in the media and acting like he actually knows what goes on in that locker room day to day. Sure he might still know some guys there, he might even talk to Brady or Belichick on a daily basis. But when have the Patriots ever told the media shit? And that is what Teddy is now, the media. The only thing that gives him credibility at all is his past experiences on that team under that coaching regime.

So while Teddy may have a point, after all Ochostinko should have his nose in that playbook every minute of every day until he has mastered it, he still comes off like a grumpy old man yelling “get off my lawn”.

Hey Teddy there is this thing nowadays, it is called social media! yeah that is right, and the fans love it! They love athletes that interact with them and pay attention to them instead of acting like self entitled, self righteous, assholes. This is a new dawn and a new day in the NFL Teddy. It is one where many owners and players realize that the fans are the customer, we are the ones that make your fat paychecks possible. Get with the times old man, or the world will pass you by and you will just be left sitting there smoking Luckey Strikes, drinking a PBR, and waxing your 1960’s muscle car while yelling at kids to get off your lawn while there is a lonely and empty house behind you.

I was thinking...

Ben said no, but Flacco knew he meant yes

Ben was excited when the Raven’s defense selected him to meet the famous Joe Flacco, but things got uncomfortable when he realized the situation he put himself in.

Ben thought Joe was a really nice guy, untill the ass reaming starting.
