Anyways like to see the Pack really have a good game defensively in the secondary tonight, I think they're gonna have to.

DCDuck Posted October 10, 2011 Share Posted October 10, 2011 Exactly. If there's an NFL team who's a more surprising 4-1 than the 49ers, I haven't seen it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If there's an NFL team who's a more surprising 4-1 than the 49ers, I haven't seen it.You really think Buffalo is a bigger surprise than the 49ers? Can't say I agree. If I had to rank the "surprise teams" from most to least it would be...1. 49ers 2. Redskins (I don't think anyone expected a 3-1 start out of them)3. Bills4.

pmoehrin Posted October 10, 2011 Share Posted October 10, 2011 Kyle Orton may have made his last start for the Broncos, Tim Tebow came in almost led a comeback and added excitement. He deserves his shot NOW!!I don't know if Orton has made his last start for Denver, but there is definately a QB controversy if there wasn't one before.Tebow wasn't put in that game because John Fox has that much belief in him, Kyle Orton just made it impossible to stick with him. Terrible week of practice from all accounts and then he lays an egg on Sunday.Thing is if they do pull Orton that's it. You can't go back to him. You either have to stick with Tebow or go to Brady Quinn, so unless your absolutely convinced that your better off without Kyle Orton I'd say he has to be your starter. Two weeks ago I'd say that would have been a very easy call to make, but now I'm not so sure. And I think I may be the most pro Orton guy there is in terms of whether or not he should be starting over Tebow, so if I'm even starting to question Kyle Orton as the starter, it may be time for him to go.I don't think the Broncos will do any better with Tebow under center, but the way Orton's been playing and what their record is right now its hard to argue how they could be doing worse and at some point you do have to say what do we really have to lose by going with the guy we drafted in the first round last year?Right now the rumor is that Kyle Orton will be traded before the end of the week, probably to either Miami or Seattle but for much less then the third round pick Denver was supposedly asking for him during the offseason. That may be the best of handling it because if your not going to play him, there's not much good that can come from having him on the bench, especially if a good portion of the team thinks he should be starting over Tebow. If you have more then one starting QB on your roster, you have none. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 49ers came out of nowhere and are seemingly a good football team. As a Bills fan, I had seen what Jackson and Fitzpatrick could do last season, so forecasting 4-1 out of their first five games wasn't being the realm of possibility (though I would have expected them to have won at Cincy and lost the Pats game). 1 hour ago, ShutUpLutz! said: and the drunken doodoobags jumping off the tops of SUV's/vans/RV's onto tables because, oh yeah, they are drunken drug abusing doodoobags Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lights Out Posted October 10, 2011 Share Posted October 10, 2011 Not for nothing, but I don't think any group of fans complain more about nothing then Charger fans.I used to think Eagle fans were the worst, but I'm starting to change my mind after meeting a few Charger fans in person. At least Eagle fans tend to be happy after a win.I think the main reason for this is (and it's the same thing with Eagles fans) that neither franchise has won a Super Bowl and all our rivals have. It seems silly, but even the tiniest of frustrations becomes magnified when you don't have a full trophy case to look back on (and rival teams' fans can lord it over you even if they're less successful now).

Gothamite Posted October 10, 2011 Share Posted October 10, 2011 It's also easy to get frustrated when you are consistently competitive, win your division, make the playoffs every year and just can't win it all. I don't blame Philly fans for thinking that Reid may have to go. No matter how good he is, it's looking like he can't seal the deal. And in the end, nobody really cares how many playoff appearances you have when there's a Lombardi-sized hole in your trophy cabinet. The Green Bay Packers Uniform Database! Now in a handy blog.

Look at the Mavs - they've had an astonishing run of regular season success since 2000, but they went through Don Nelson and Avery Johnson during that span before finally winning a championship with Rick Carlisle. It's easy for teams to say "well, we're making the playoffs regularly, so we can't fire Coach X even though we're still ringless" but if a coach hasn't demonstrated any ability to get their team to the next step up from that over multiple years, they need to go or risk running the team further into the ground.

Winning teams do. It's a business first and foremost. The chances of going from a coach who gets you 11 wins a season to a coach who gets you 5 wins a season are higher than the chances of going from a coach that gets you 11 wins a season to a coach who gets you to the Super Bowl every three years.Also success starts from the top. Mike Tomlin surely would not have had as much success as he's had thus far in Pittsburgh had he started in Washington as Daniel Snyder's lap dog. There's a reason why some fans say the Skins will never win a Super Bowl as long as Snyder owns the team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Viper Posted October 10, 2011 Share Posted October 10, 2011 The Falcons D is taking the late Al Davis's mantra about QBs to heart. Rodgers has been going down, and he's been going down hard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cameroncrazie07 Posted October 10, 2011 Share Posted October 10, 2011 Jets suck, my fantasy team sucks, oh and my baseball team was eliminated a few days ago. GO LEAFS GO!Not to start anything here but this is the exact reason why I dislike Jets fans a lot. Especially Under 30 year old Jet fans. You guys are way too in the moment and overreact to everything. After week 2 all I heard around this area in NY was how good the Jets looked. Suddenly they lose three tough road games against three possible playoff teams and all I hear is Jets suck. Granted they looked bad in those games but there's no way a team that has been to back to back championship games sucks. They're still a 10 to 11 win playoff team and you all know it.

Winning close games (in any sport) is random! The Rivers "fumble" under five minutes was not Norv's fault, it was random!Plus, coaches have less impact on a NFL game than you think, as opposed to the players execution of the play given to them.
