2014 NFL Season Thread


Recommended Posts

I just find it tiresome when a big chunk of white America takes glee in someone "scaring" "white America." (Whoa, too many scare-quotes.) There is nothing new under the sun; Richard Sherman is neither the first nor last trash-talking wide receiver/defensive back who scared people by not using his inside voice. He wasn't particularly trenchant, he didn't break any ground himself, he just caused a lot of reactionary blather from one side and stupid navel-gazing from the other. The whole thing was blown extremely out of proportion. I didn't find the moment interesting at all. Too many people on either side wanted it to be way more than it was. Then again, I don't follow the NFL that closely.

Not to mention he went there on a FOOTBALL SCHOLARSHIP and got his degree in freaking communications. COMMUNICATIONS. That's the equivalent of the school saying, Hey! You made to class about 75% of the time, here's a gold star! Now go line up with the rest of the drunk frat girls and women's studies majors and collect your diploma!

In his defense, he is an effective communicator. The press conference about sponsors was good.

In all sincerity, please alert us when it's appropriate to care about something.

Bears offensive coordinator apparently had a tearful meeting with the team this week, apologizing for telling Ian Rappaport that Cutler is awful at the game of football. Players have called it a " :censored: up situation."

Just a couple weeks away from Black Monday. Burn it all.

When Brian Schottenheimer is fired, this game is most certainly going to be brought up. I guess Arizona drew the short straw in the "who gets :censored: ed by the Rams the worst in the NFC West" competition though. Stanton's probably done for the year, which means the Rams ended both Cardinal QB's seasons.

Now, now! That wouldn't be very nice! At the very worst, Grandma Ginny will send Marc Trestman to bed without any dessert.

The Cardinals are the anti-Bears: little offensive talent, mucho defense, lots of heart.

Or the Bears up through 2012 and what the Bears could have been had they hired Bruce Arians instead of alienating him with weird rules about keeping assistants and having fake press conferences.

♫ oh yeah, board goes on, long after the thrill of postin' is gone ♫

12-6 in a prime time NFL game. Thursday night football sucks.

Or it brought you two good defenses playing lights out. But that's against the #Narrative

And to think, we get to see them AGAIN in primetime!

Seriously, it might be time to rethink the possibility of MNF Flex Scheduling.

It's not like Bruce Arians' dream job was to, I dunno, be head coach of the Bears or anything, or like any of his players loved him and swore by him.

Oh wait, all those things are true.

I've never knowingly seen Bruce Arians, so I looked him up and apparently he's Joe Maddon's fat brother. The Bears would never hire a guy who looks like he might be loud. Oh heavens me!

It's amazing how this Cardinals team is basically employing the janitor to play quarterback, yet they've still hit 11 wins. I'm not so sure I still really believe in them as the favorites in the NFC, but that defense is really good. They could definitely ride them deep into the playoffs if they can get even a semi serviceable quarterback. Maybe they can wake Brad Johnson up from his daily nap tomorrow and get him to come man the show.

Assuming he's out at least 2 weeks, obviously the best case scenario would be get a bye, have Stanton back for their first game.

A playoff team's best-case scenario involves getting Drew Stanton back healthy to play QB... weird.
