2013/2014 NFL Thread: Attack of the Matts - Part 2

[Rowsdower!]

I feel bad for Norv Turner. He had a good thing going for him. Don't get me wrong, Hoyer could have just been lucky, but he was the QB that Cleveland needed.

But not the one they deserved.

 

[Rowsdower!]

I wouldn't be entirely shocked to see the Browns make a move on Freeman. I know there are reports indicating that they won't pull the trigger on that, but it wouldn't surprise me at all. The front office may have given up on the season, but at 3-2, the Browns and their coaching staff have not. The Browns would have to lose out and hope that other teams win to have a legit shot at a top tier draft QB. Since Johnny Football in Cleveland is becoming a long shot, my guess is that the coaching staff leans on the front office to sign Freeman to a one year deal. If Freeman plays like he is capable of (and he is the perfect type of quarterback for Chudzinski) and Ray Horton's defense keeps up....the Browns could seriously make a run at the division.

Now, if Freeman's career has a revival in Cleveland (and honestly, there is no reason to think it wouldn't: Freeman, despite inconsistency, does have upside)....with two first round picks next season and the AFC North on the decline...Browns could quickly become a threat throughout the league.

Yeah, I think Freeman has a chance at being legit again. He's got some issues, but I think his main problem is Tampa is working with an absolute asshat like Schiano. I can't wait to see that guy get fired.

Why are the Chargers and Raiders playing at 11:35 EST?

 

[MrMaooz]

I'm saving this one for future reference.

 

[Warhammer]

I kept waiting for someone to say this.

Why are the Chargers and Raiders playing at 11:35 EST?

Because the Athletics have a playoff game today and there wouldn't be enough time to make the transition in the stadium to fit in an afternoon Raiders game.

 

[MrMaooz]

Oh, thanks.

 

[MrMaooz]

 

[Victarion]

Looking good, Chicago.

 

[MrMaooz]

Defensive so far in Cincy.

 

[MrMaooz]

3-3 at the half in Cincy.

Why are the Chargers and Raiders playing at 11:35 EST?

Because the A's played last night and it takes a full 24hrs to change the field over for football purposes.

 

[Whiskey Tango]

Titans Titans Titans... Four attempts from the ****ing 1 yard line and nothing.

 

[WalkingDeadMike]

Watching the Giants games this year is harder than watching the Mets. It's legit painful.

Keep up the good work Dolphins defense. Offense needs to blow this open. Which probably won't happen.

As the defense apparently walks the Ravens down the field

 

[HBKfan28]

No the referees did. Those were some terrible PI calls, especially the one on Grimes. Grimes isn't even facing Smith, Smith falls over his back, it's "Pass Interference".... Refs-7, Ravens-6, Dolphins-13

 

[Darthphere]

I want to see Suggs complain about Goodell and the NFL picking on them now.

 

[Spider-Gnome]

Yeah, sorry, I don't live in the area, so I can't watch the game. I'm on NFL.com following the game, so I just saw a lot of "yellow" (penalty) yardage on the grid that last drive.

It's a frustrating way of following it.

 

[WalkingDeadMike]

Giants just got royally ****ed by the refs.

 

[Donut]

The Fins are all tied up

 

[MrMaooz]

Oh man, horrible game offensively by the Pats. Defense was great though.

Sucks that we lost, but we're still 4-1.

Now it's time to head back to Foxboro and play the Saints.

 

[runawayboulder]

The Giants season is on it's last legs now....

Yeah the offensive line did Brady no favors

 

[Dr. Evil]

AJ McCarron would look good in a Jacksonville Jaguars uniform.

 

[KalMart]

Big ouch on the Giants season...but what the hey, might as well find out the bad news early.
