Anytime someone in pro sports tells a player or staff member that they have nothing to worry about, that player or staff member should update their resume immediately. I thought that was pretty common knowledge.

Defense is basically dominating. 1st string has only allowed one touch down against 3 higher powered offeses. Offense is slowly coming around. I think we'll go undefeated in the Big10 (Penn State really is the only concern at this point) but unless some miracle happens, we won't be going for the NC.

We're 8th in the country.

Hey, as long as you don't run the spread option Michigan shouldn't be overlooked...

[Troy McClure]

Where abouts do you live in Cleveland?

I live in Lyndhurst, and I'm not surprised that this team put up some points. They spent a lot of money on the o-line, and they have some good weapons in Winslow and Edwards. The defense still sucks, but with a QB that can make some throws, they have guys that can make plays.

I'll reserve saying that it won't matter once I firmly believe the O-Line can create holes for the rushing game. They've shown the ability, but it didn't start gelling until this past game. And you think we wouldn't run spread on Michigan since that's obviously one thing they can't defend against?

Robiskie, Hartline, Sanzenbacher, Small are all viable receiving threats and I haven't even touched our two very able TE's.

Oh and watch the first 10 seconds of this video to see what Chris Wells is doing. (more just wanting to show off the hit)

You can't just 'run the spread option'. You build an entire offense around the idea, then an entire playbook. Unless you essentially have a halfback playing QB, you can't even start.

Well, while we don't run the spread, our WR's are fast enough that a 3 step drop can equate to a 45+ yard pass. So it can be just as effective.

I think that our CBs and safeties are fast enough. It was the d-line and linebackers who were TOTALLY confused by their run option. And since they could never figure out when they were gonna run until AFTER the person was past the line of scrimmage, they couldn't defend the pass either. Totally. Screwed.

Oregon's 2 statue of liberty plays were truly a sight to behold. I hated watching the game, but they were so damn impressive. :hs:

You should have at least suspected after the Bengals game man.

Does anyone think the Bengals have a chance in hell at winning tonight?

if they show up with a defense that isn't a leaky sieve, yes

Thats the problem. The Bungels have no pass defense/rush. Maybe they'll put four guys on Moss. :fly:

True. But they have a front seven that can do a shit ton of damage.

Maybe we'll even see the Pat's deploy the 3-5 defense they tried out during training camp.

You know, part of the reason those teams have losing records is because they lost to the Cowboys.

Eh, so what. They can only play the schedule that is in front of them. Going into Chicago and destroying that defense is pretty impressive. Show me the undefeated team with a tough schedule.

the pats probably have the toughest schedule of the 3 remaining undefeateds

[Troy McClure]

The Jets suck. The Chargers suck. The Bills really suck. And the Bengals suck.

I don't see how that is any more impressive than the four wins the Cowboys have put together.

Indianapolis had 3 of their 5 wins against teams with a winning record.

:D Chargers, but did we win because we played good or did Denver suck monkey balls?

Our local 'boys correspondent is predicting 24-21 cowboys on Sunday. Anyone else think they can actually beat the Pats?

[Shalimar]

no.




anybody doing anything cool for the USF vs. UCF game? besides going to it?

[Valve1080i]

Our local 'boys correspondent is predicting 24-21 cowboys on Sunday. Anyone else think they can actually beat the Pats?

No. Reverse the score with the Pat's winning.

Here's why I think the Pat's will win:

1) The Pat's defensive front 7 is outstanding, and the Cowboys offensive line won't be able to handle them 100% of the time which they'll need to do to win.

2) The Pat's secondary can cause turnovers because of the front seven's level of play in terms of rushing the QB.

3) The Pats have too many weapons on offense. Double cover Moss and you leave Welker, Watson, Stallworth, etc open. Brady can get the ball to anyone. Don't forget about Faulk and Morris catching abilities too.

4) For once the Pat's are pretty healthy and have quality depth. No patchwork needed for once.

5) Romo is a good QB, but he's still young and the smart Pat's defense will prey on that shit.

Despite all that, I think it will be a good, fairly close game. I don't think the Pat's will blow out the Cowboys.

If any team leaves there signals so out there you can steal them and use them for more than one game they deserve to have them stolen. Whats the difference between a pair of binoculars/pad of paper and a video camera? Nothing.

And it was great hearing Bill Parcells rip Steve Young a new asshole the other night. Steve Young was being all high and mighty about the Pat's grabbing signals and Parcells ripped into him.

Way back when if one team lost headsets, the other had to take them off to make it fair. The 49'ers had their first 15 offensive plays scripted. And both times Parcells came in with the Giants to play one teams headsets would go out when the 49ers had their first offensive drive. Hmm, but the 49'ers still had their scripted plays.

[Jonny_B]

I can't see how scripted plays would be an advantage really. That doesn't allow you to react to strengths or weaknesses in the defense. Plus, the play call required for a fourth and one is a lot different than what you need for a third and nine.

Parcells explained it way better than I did and Steve Young nearly pissed himself.

Scripting the opening plays is quite common. It allows the offense to test the defense against various schemes. From there, they can adjust as they see necessary.

not a fan of either really but between the two I'm with the pats all day...I also have 4 fantasy football teams and play parlay cards every week so I pay attention to pretty much every game

If they can beat Dallas, I'll be happy. I'd love to be a contender for the playoffs though.

I no longer pay heed to your warning of pats dominance. Besides, i got $50 saying they don't let the pats win by more than 7.

I have a number of dallas players on my various FF teams...I do have vested interests in them doing well but I still think it's going to be 35-14...spread is 4, berman called it 10 and I think it's going to be in the range of 21

Now THAT was an awesome game. I can't believe LSU lost. I also can't believe that they didn't play Perriloux (or whatever there alt. QBs name is) the entire 4th quarter. Kentucky got them totally out of their game.

USF has got to be top 3 now...

EDIT: And Michigan BIG over Purdue.
And OSU big over some high school team.

w00t Big Ten!

It will be:
OSU
Cal (assuming cal wins)
BC
USF
Oklahoma

Granted that's just my opinion about how things are going to end up.
