Week Five Early Games- Open Thread
by Brad Wells on Oct 11, 2009 10:34 AM EDT
in Game Recaps
Email
PrintThe "bye week" for teams like the Bears and Chargers makes for some rather ugly looking match-ups on paper today. Raiders at Giants? Buccaneers at Eagles? Steelers at Lions? Vikings at Rams?
The only early game that seems to look interesting is the Bengals at Ravens, but that game could get ugly as well. Cincy usually does not fare well at Baltimore.
But, regardless, it's football, and as I recover on my couch from a late night of drinking, I'll pretty much take any game on the plate. This is your early games open thread. Enjoy.
[UPDATE]: Bob Sanders made the trip to Nashville with the team. Looks like he will try and play tonight.

DVOA thinks the Tampa Pass D is a lot worse than the Zona Pass D
31st vs 20th.

Drinkin'?
Drinkin’ what? I want to know how sorry I should feel for you.
Mostly beer
Some Scottish ale whose name I cannot remember. Two friends of ours got married, and we partied hard at their reception.

Scotch Ales are like rye bread

back to back night games for me this weekend. Though I don’t get to go to this one.

Please tell me
You did not rush the field. That had the be one of the worst instances of rushing the field I’ve ever seen.
me and my buddie talked about how much we hoped they didn't do it before the game
and were embarrassed when it happened. I blame everyone having an extra 4-8 hours (kickoff his usually 11am or 3pm) to drink before the game.

It should never happen
When you are undefeated, unless you beat a top 5 team.
It makes it seem like the students gave the football team no chance to win, and it was so surprising to them.
I think that's just the nature of a portion of Iowa's fans
for example this was the celebration for clinching a share of the Big Ten title with a win at conference rival Minnesota.

Iowa switched to goalposts that hinge and can be lowered at the end of games
after one got bent from people climbing on it after a win.

even if it's limited snaps
I’d love to see Bob as an OLB instead of bringing on a 3rd corner.
Titans 3 wide= 4-3 with Bob at OLB
Titans 4/5 wide= nickel with Bob at OLB

Yes.
Because with Jackson AND Hayden out, we don’t even HAVE a dime package.
if Bob plays the Colts will probably have more safeties active than corners.

“We live in a world that has walls and those walls need to be guarded by me, Bob Sanders. Who’s gonna do it? You? You, doubting colt fan? I have a greater responsibility than you can possibly fathom. You weep for Melvin Bullitt and curse the Defense; you have that luxury. You have the luxury of not knowing what I know: that Melvin Bullitt’s demotion, while tragic, probably saved touchdowns and that my existence, while grotesque and incomprehensible to you, saves touchdowns. You don’t want the truth because deep down in places you don’t talk about at parties you want me, Bob Sanders, on that wall, you need me, Bob Sanders, on that wall. We use words like honor, code, loyalty. We use then as the backbone of a life trying to defend something. You use them as a punchline. I have neither the time nor the inclination to explain myself to any fan who rises and sleeps under the blanket of the very freedom I provide and then questions the manner in which I provide it. I would rather you just said “thank you,” and went on your way. Otherwise, I suggest that you pick up a hemet and get in the game. Either way, I don’t give a damn what you think you are entitled to."

I’ve got Steelers-Lions and Vikings-Rams for the 1:00 game, and Patriots-Broncos for the afternoon game. Hopefully, one of the early games turns interesting.

which is what gave them time to get a new guy. No idea of it was during the game or stage diving at a Christian Rock concert though.
shovel passes are almost universally a bad idea
Flacco just tossed one to Rice. They got like a yard. But there’s so much risk in those. Too easy to screw it up and the downside is always a disaster. Anyone remember that Florida-Arkansas SEC title game a few years back? Yeah. Bad stuff.

Derek Anderson sucks
I hate Brady Quinn, but the Browns suck anyway. Might as well let him play. I wonder if Mangina is just trying to avoid paying him.
Carolina fails to draw the Skins offside and so will punt on 4th and 1 from inside the 45. Buck buck buck BAWK!
I did not know that Jon Fox had a vagina.
Brady Quinn can't throw the ball
He’d screen pass the Browns to death. At least Anderson has an arm and makes the defense think for the slightest moment about a deep threat.

Bradshaw is tearing up the Raiders
Just outright destroying them right now. Averaging 20 yards a carry.

Could have started Jay Cutler instead of Derek Anderson with the same result.

How can you not love a team that does this?
Same thing he already thought, I'm sure
PFT says the Raiders are calling around offering anything in trade. Belichick should call and offer them a 3rd rounder for Seymour.
Probably the same thing

The Rams are terrible
And they have no balls whatsoever in their playcalling.
Designed rollout/QB run right, but completely unblocked.
Smart move going for it though on 4th down. No point in a FG down 14-0 already. Looks like they got it, even running at the Williams.
This Steelers-Lions game is really good!
Lions just intercepted Big Ben!

Sinorice Moss is cut
just gave the Raiders the ball in the red zone.
Then a DPI gives them first down. Why interfere with Raider receivers? Why even defend them at all, actually? It’s not like Offthemarcus can hit them.
Looks like a turnover TD for the Giants, though, but they say he was down, so it won’t happen either way. TERRIBLE call too, he was still vertical when the ball came out.
