Are You Ready For Some Football!!!!

<br>

<p>Getting crazy? I think they have been crazy for a long time. :)</p>

<p>I am curious how this guy will play. He is a rugby player but has become a football player recently.</p>

<p>

<p>The Patriots drafted a former rugby player, he almost exclusively plays special teams.

<p>Maybe crazy is endemic to Seattle.
At 11:40pm, there were 11 people in line for tomorrow nights Pearl Jam concert.
Temps have been in upper 20’s- low 30’s.</p>

<p>I was wondering too how someone like Adongo, who has never played American football before, could end up playing on an NFL team. He apparently will be a kamikaze for kickoffs when teams run full speed at each other…he just needs to crash into players on other team at full speed. Adongo is big, strong, agile, quick and I guess a little crazy. His rugby experience will help him I hope.</p>

<p>Well, it looks like Houston now has the inside track to the number 1 pick. Their last three games are against Indy, Denver, and Tennessee. Hard to see them winning any of those.</p>

<p>On the bright side, Schaub didn’t throw a pick-6.</p>

<p>10 accepted penalties on Houston in the 1st half. That’s called disarray.</p>

<p>What Happened to Houston and Atlanta? I believe there is something we are not been told. These teams can’t be this bad…</p>

<p>Famous Minnesota coach quote: “You are what your record say you are”</p>

<p>Stanford is the most physical team this year, both NFL and College. If I were the coach I will just power run on every down and dare the opposing team to stop me.</p>

<p>I think that quote is by Bill Parcells, I don’t think he ever coached in Minnesota.</p>

<p>Atlanta’s down-hill spiral started when Julio Jones went out, Roddy White missed a lot of time, Steven Jackson got hurt, and they’ve had a ton of other injuries. Not many teams can recover from losing that much firepower on offense, and they’ve had injury problems on defense as well.</p>

<p>Houston is a different story, and a bit of a puzzlement. They seem to have the talent, but can’t get it together on the field, and now they are sloppy and undisciplined. Seems like a coaching problem.</p>

<p>If I am not mistaking, I think it was Dennis Green who said that…</p>

<p>Dennis Green is famous for ranting “They are who we thought they were!”</p>

<p>I think you are correct…</p>

<p>It’s one of the classic rants:</p>

<p>I miss Dennis Green. What a great rant.</p>

<p>I am glad Matt Schaub had a good game. I hate it when players get booed off the field like he was several game ago.</p>

<p>

Houston just fired Kubiak.</p>

<p>Wade Phillips is promoted to interim head coach.</p>

<p>Not sure that’s an improvement.</p>

<p>ETA: I don’t think Schaub had that great a game, he horked up a bad interception to seal it for Jacksonville.</p>

<p>I hate it when the fire coaches in the middle of a season. Is doing so really doing to make a difference? When Jason Garrett took over for Wade Philips in Dallas did the team change dramatically? </p>

<p>If Houston gets the first pick, they can draft Manziel. That would change their QB status pretty quick.</p>

<p>Yeah, it’s pretty dumb. It seldom results in meaningful improvements:</p>

<p>And why risk messing up your #1 pick? Although I think Bridgewater is a better choice than Manziel.</p>

<p>No one is drafting Manziel with the first pick</p>

<p>I know this thread is more centered towards the NFL but any predictions on the OSU/MSU game tomorrow? </p>

<p>Or any bowl predictions? </p>

<p>I still, for the life of me, do not understand the BCS. Not even a little.</p>

<p>It’s football. We’ve talked college. </p>

<p>Honestly, I hope both teams lose.</p>
