2011 NFL Thread: The Lazarus Season - Part 8

[enterthemadness]

Is that a neck protector or a saddle on Lynch..?

All aboard, Seattle, there's room enough for everybody!

There goes your ****ing season--I said to my Dad when TJ fumbled.

Niners defense bails them out. However...looks like the Seahawks held them and now the Seahawks are gonna get the ball back.

 

[enterthemadness]

Wait, spoke too soon. Seattle with one more shot.

 

[Hound55]

Good return by Washington...

 

[DoomsdayApex]

Out of curiosity, how would people rank the top 10 or 20 QBs in the NFL this year?

Honestly, I'm not convinced Tebow cuts top 20... which makes you think when you see how much he's been talked about this year...

1.) Aaron Rodgers
2.) Drew Brees
3.) Tom Brady
4.) Ben Roethlisberger
5.) Philip Rivers
6.) Eli Manning
7.) Jay Cutler
8.) Tony Romo
9.) Matt Schuab
10.) Matthew Stafford
11.) Cam Newton
12.) Andy Dalton
13.) Michael Vick
14.) Alex Smith
15.) Ryan Fitzpatrick
16.) Matt Ryan
17.) Joe Flacco
18.) Josh Freeman
19.) Christian Ponder
20.) Matt Hasselbeck

Except for the top three, the QBs following are not in the exact order I want.

 

[Hound55]

******us Jackson throws to the middle of the field and double or triple coverage... Good choice there.

Lucky it wasn't completed and extremely lucky it wasn't picked off...

 

[Hound55]

And then throws it about 6 feet over his receivers head and out of bounds on fourth...

That's some good work, TJ. Almost snuck out a win, til you snuffed that one out.

 

[enterthemadness]

Freeman? Ponder? Are not better than Matt Moore. Neither is Fitzpatrick.

 

[Hound55]

Yes. They are. All three of them.

Lol, making fun of TJ is funny, cause he's not good.

 

[Ness]

Damn we had to fight and it was an ugly win, but we got it done. Big players make big plays. Larry Grant strip was huge. Seattle can now sit at home.

 

[enterthemadness]

Yes. They are. All three of them.

I'll give you Fitzpatrick by a edge, but Freeman? No, not this year.
13/18 TD/INT he has. Ponder has a 13/12 TD/INT. Granted those may be before their games today. Moore has a 15/7 TD/INT. Granted he likes to fumble.

I was sweating bullets for awhile there.

 

[L.A.]

Home court advantage! Go 49ers!!!

 

[JewishHobbit]

Well, we couldn't watch the game here but thank God the Bengals pulled it out! I was feeling confident the first half and scared to death the second. That Jerome Simpson touchdown was nuts. I'd like to have that as an avatar!

Now on to next week... I'm not optimistic but here's hoping. What's the chances of the Ravens sitting prime players, resting for the playoffs? I'm thinking not much but a Bengal fan can hope.

I don't think they'll sit their players but the way they've been playing lately I think the Bengals have a chance. If the Bengals go out there fired up and play like this is a playoff game they could really pull out the win.

Plus I really want the Bengals to win too!

I was about to ask why the heck you have Romo listed over the likes of Stafford, Ryan, Flacco and Dalton.

How can you have Stafford behind Cutler, Romo and Schaub?

 

[StorminNorman]

If Green Bay beats Chicago, they have nothing to gain from Week 17, which means the Lions should be an 11 win team going into the playoffs. That makes Monday a huge game for the Falcons. They either beat the Saints in New Orleans then, or they have to face them again in two weeks.

I am confident in Detroit's ability to beat the NFC East champion, less sure in our chances at New Orleans. I would much rather play Green Bay at Lambo in the Divisional Round than the Saints in New Orleans for the Wildcard.

 

[NewYorkSpider]

I think the Lions would be more comfortable facing the Cowboys indoors, then to play outside in a potentially cold weather environment.

Of course they could end up playing New Orleans. I think playing in Dallas is their best option moving on. The Giants these days are usually a hit or miss team.

 

[TheIncredibleSk]

I was about to ask why the heck you have Romo listed over the likes of Stafford, Ryan, Flacco and Dalton.

I'd take Romo over all of those guys except Stafford and that ones close. I don't like Romo but he's played like a top five QB this year.

 

[Hound55]

I'll give you Fitzpatrick by a edge, but Freeman? No, not this year.
13/18 TD/INT he has. Ponder has a 13/12 TD/INT. Granted those may be before their games today. Moore has a 15/7 TD/INT. Granted he likes to fumble.

I don't think it was "an edge" I think Fitzpatrick is better by quite a ways.

Ponder is better, he's just been working with s***. He's had Pederson to take some of the heat off and that's all the help he's had.

Freeman's still better despite sleep-walking through this season.

 

[Hound55]

How can you have Stafford behind Cutler, Romo and Schaub?

Because Cutler's one of maybe three QBs in the league who could do anything behind what is possibly the worst offensive line in the past decade.

If he had everything going his way he wouldn't be top 5 either, but being able to exist and produce to some capacity behind that line counts for something to me and would probably count for something with most people.

Romo, for all of his 4th quarter issues, has still played damn well at other times.

And Schaub's better as well.

Romo might be the only one I'd take Stafford over.

 

[Boom]

The Bengals clinch the sixth seed of the AFC with:

1) CIN win or tie
OR
2) TEN win + NYJ loss or tie + OAK loss or tie

Well, guess I'm a Bengals/Dolphins/Titans/Chargers fan next week.
