rams80 Posted September 25, 2007 Share Posted September 25, 2007 So apparently Marc Bulger has two broken ribs, and actually played with them anyway yesterday.1. I'm curious, at what point does this "Ewing Theory" kick in?2.

TFoA Posted September 25, 2007 Share Posted September 25, 2007 I wonder if Visa will have the commercial with all Saints fans marching to buy Paper BagsBest joke you have ever made.Seriously, the only consolation for the Falcons being 0-3 is that we have looked better going 0-3 than the Saints, who have reverted back to the Aints. (Which is amazing, considering they've got all those talented guys, and we're in shambles as an organization right now.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
illwauk Posted September 25, 2007 Share Posted September 25, 2007 Packers 3-0 (and against Eagles, Giants, Chargers)didnt expect that oneespecially after Ahman Green left,but the way McCarthy is handling Favre seems to be working out pretty well.I turned the game off in disgust after the Packers went for it (and failed) on 4th & goal when they were losing just to give Brett another crack at the record.I've forgiven Brett for a lot of crap over the years because I thought that deep down, he thought he was doing what was right for the team. That might have been true in 1996, but somewhere along the way his self-centered off the field attitude (trust me, he is NOT the "humble country boy" the media makes him out to be) took over his better judgment on the field.Wow is that off base. The same play they ran 4th and goal was good for a TD earlier in the game. Add to that an unproven backfield vs. a HOF QB and you really think that McCarthy was simply trying to give Favre a "another crack at the record?" If that were the case then they could have tried a couple passes for their last TD after the interception. Instead they ran the ball. Hard as it might be for you to believe, I think they were trying to win the game first.After 3 failed passing attempts and a defense that was waiting for the pass AGAIN? McCarthy made some dumb calls last year, but I refuse to believe he's THAT stupid.Add to the fact that they're playing at the Metrodump next week, and SOMEONE (be it Brett or McCarthy) was thinking "we gotta get at least #420 at Lambeau." It's a nice sentiment, but not when you risk losing the game over it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pcgd Posted September 25, 2007 Share Posted September 25, 2007 I just thought I'd say that the Bears suck and I know how you all in New Orleans, St. Louis, and San Diego feel. After having such a promising off season and looking forward to the season, its so awful to watch.Defense still looks ok, but dropping like flies.Offense is awful. I hate that I bought into this "Hester and Olsen will make the offense amazing!!" crap.The only good thing is, the Grossman Error is finally over. It sets everything back a couple years but perhaps if they can pick up a nice QB next year (McNabb) or draft one (Braun, depending on how this season ends), maybe everything will be ok. God, I know 1-2 isn't that bad in the NFC and there are still 13 weeks left but jeez I'm feeling pretty crappy about this team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fred T. Jane Posted September 26, 2007 Share Posted September 26, 2007 They'll be fine, and I hope you have plenty of seasoning available for when you have to eat your words in a few weeks. You're right. They do get to play Atlanta eventually... [Croatia National Team Manager Slavan] Bilic then went on to explain how Croatia's success can partially be put down to his progressive man-management techniques. "Sometimes I lie in the bed with my players. I go to the room of Vedran Corluka and Luka Modric when I see they have a problem and I lie in bed with them and we talk for 10 minutes." Maybe Capello could try getting through to his players this way too? Although how far he'd get with Joe Cole jumping up and down on the mattress and Rooney demanding to be read his favourite page from The Very Hungry Caterpillar is open to question. --The Guardian's Fiver, 08 September 2008 Attention: In order to obtain maximum enjoyment from your stay at the CCSLC, the reader is advised that the above post may contain large amounts of sarcasm, dry humour, or statements which should not be taken in any true sort of seriousness.

They do get to play Atlanta eventually... We've played better than they have thus far. We're having a decent FG kicker in week 2 and D-Hall having a mental collapse in week 3 away from being 2-1. The Saints have gotten owned in all 3 games they've played thus far. It should be an interesting game when the Falcons and Saints get together.

His average season is better than any other Bear's QB since Erik Cramer.I know that's not saying much, but if the QB was at least consistantly above average (say 80-90 QB rating) instead of great one game, and then awful 4 games, I think they'd be better off.

rams80 Posted September 30, 2007 Share Posted September 30, 2007 Allow me to play-by-play just about every Rams redzone possession this season.1. Run2. Run3. Throw incomplete pass to Drew Bennett in end zone4. Field Goal attempt5. If Field Goal attempt is no good; profanity, throwing things, punching wall happens in my room.6. Defense becomes fed up and demoralized; gives up touchdown on next possession.

rams80 Posted September 30, 2007 Share Posted September 30, 2007 Unfortunately the NFL bans group TD celebrations/dances.If they weren't though, I wish the Rams would do this whenever they score a special teams TD.

rams80 Posted September 30, 2007 Share Posted September 30, 2007 It's like a Preseason game when you look and see how many backups the Rams have out there right now.

rams80 Posted September 30, 2007 Share Posted September 30, 2007 Stat of the day: 11(Number of quarters the Rams have gone without an offensive touchdown)171 minutes and 13 seconds is the exact amount of game time that has gone by since the Rams offense last found the end zone.Fire Olsen now, Linehan at the end of the year.

TFoA Posted September 30, 2007 Share Posted September 30, 2007 FALCONS WIN! First win since 12/10/06. AWRIGHT. A loss here would've DEFINITELY put the Falcons in a hole. Instead, we're 1-3, and with the way the both sides of the ball looked today (save for the occasional big play), 1-3 with hope. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
