2010 NFL Season Thread

Cutler and Deangelo Hall are developing some good chemistry.

freakin Saints lose by 13 and were 13 point favourites. WTF? Second year in a row I was knocked out of my pool by them.

[nokids]

Gents, now on twitter. http://twitter.com/Donny_Vantage will provide weekly picks ATS, weekly fantasy news advice, all sorts of goodies.

when i go to a twitter page, i'm so confused. who is talking to who?

i dont see Donny's picks for week 7 ATS.

[fundonny]

Sorry, was off Friday. Early lines spreads I had NO, KC, WAS, MIA, ATL, StL, BAL, CAR, TEN, SEA, DEN,-NE, GB AND DAL tonight. So 8-4-1 going into tonight.

Should have been whistled down. Evans' forward progress was finished. Lewis was giving wayyyyy to much time to take the ball out. It never should have ended that way.

what Ray Lewis wants, his arms taketh.

Linebackers are whiners. All they want to do is lay a huge hit on someone and knock them out of the game or worse. That shouldn't be the name of the game. Sure stop someone if you can.....just SHUT UP with all of this "The NFL is making it unfair for us" crap. This is a game changing rule. It's definetly going to open up the field for more scoring. I for one am all for it.

They were showing replays of the Buf - Balt game and showing how defensive players are now scared to throw the big hits. There were a few TD's that may not have happened if they would have nailed the receiver.

i thought so too until i watched the replay again. it all happened quickly but here's what happened: the bills receiver was initially stopped, he started to get pushed backwards by the baltimore defense (so you think the play should have been blown dead here) but that's when the bills offensive linemen pushed the entire pile forward and he started to gain a few yards. As the pile was moving forward that's when Ray Ray ripped the ball out. The Bills receiver was up in the air surfing a wave of players the whole time. lol.

i saw that too.

Warning: Dolpfan Rant

Hey Chad Henne. I dont know if you got the memo but during the offseason the Dolphins signed Brandon Marshall. He is 6'4", 230 lbs, runs the 40 yd dash in 4.52, 37" vertical, his nickname is 'The Beast', and his jersey number is #19. You may want to throw some deep balls to him once or twice a game even if he's covered and let him make a play.

I'm not even going to talk about Ben's fumble. What really infuriated me about yesterday's game was the conservative playcalling by the Dolphins. Henne is supposed to have a cannon arm, yet the Fins offense is dink and dunk, throwing underneath to Fasano, Bess, and even Marshall is running 5 yard ins. Hello Tony Soprano or whatever your name is, Brandon Marshall is not Wes Welker!

The offensive line gave Henne ALL DAY to throw the ball. He had time to look for option 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and throw the ball away. How about sending Marshall to run some deep post routes and go routes, heave the ball up there and he will come down with it more often than not. For heaven's sake, that is why the Fins gave him all that guaranteed money. It's for his athleticism and not to catch 5 yard catches and break tackles by James Harrison to get a first down. Marshall is a deep threat. Use him!

I knew the Fins would lose after they were handed 2 gift fumbles in the Steelers red zone and ddn't even take 1 shot at the endzone. The Steelers have a great defense but their secondary is their weakness. Fins did not attack that weakness even though they had the weapons to do so.

Fins deserved to lose. I don't care if refs blew the fumble call. I have no faith they would have gotten a first down to seal the victory anyway. Soprano would have probably called three runs up the gut into the teeth of the Steeler defense. Punt and play prevent D against Big Ben. Yeah I rather everyone blame the refs for the loss instead of focusing on the real problem in Miami; lack of a killer instinct.

End of rant.

Jerry Jones looked very pale last night.

i've made this thread my NFL twitter page.

I've heard he's pretty sick these days. Maybe now he'll relinquish some of the GM duties to someone that knows football. Instead of just being a fan that thinks he knows. Maybe someone that will make them use Felix jones a lot more.

[fundonny]

If Al Davis can 'run' a football team years after he died, so can Jerry Jones.

Picks for this week on twitter.

[nokids]

Donny, I made my picks on Friday and I have all the same picks as you except the Zona/Bucs game. Great minds think alike!

[Weazl]

I have no freakin clue who to pick in suicide pool, or weekly pool this week. I've changed my picks 30 times this morning.

I play a game where a buddy and I pick 1 game each, each week, $25 per game. I usually have one or two REALLY obvious games to choose from; today, I have no idea. I took the Broncos +2.5 points against the 49ers and their 3rd string QB.

I also like Denver.... should be good...

[nokids]

Damn Donny, 1-6 in the early games LOL. My ticket is dead.

[sensfan63]

Evidently not! Oh well, my buddy's Redskins pick didn't pan out either, so it was a wash.

[jonf]

DA Bills

[fundonny]

Wow, i'm embarrassed by this handicapping display. And fantasy wise, disastrous too. Henne, Lynch, Tolbert, R. Moss, all butkus basically.

[mpare]

Patriots - 6 and 1 in a rebuilding year. Amazing. For the next few years, they'll continue to be a force especially with all the draft picks that they've acquired. They're not as exciting as they have been, but they get the job done.

[nokids]

Saints Steelers game has the feel of a superbowl game. Geaux Saints!

[Chambokl]

Sorry man... Denver moved the ball better but 2 TO will kill you...

Sounds similar to the Boston hockey team. Thanks to the Maple Leafs!

[nokids]

Randy Moss has been traded to the Vikings in exchange for a 2011 draft pick. He'll report to the team on Thursday.

Hi Randy.


Bye Randy.


Bellichek texted the Vikes coach this morning: "Thanks for the pick!"

[nokids]

My fav post from today:

This just in: Randy moss will sign with the Dolphins and help them continue to get in Field Goal range for Dan Carpenter! This is great news for Miami!

[fundonny]

My first WR in the fantasy draft, and this is what I get... Wonder if he'll end up in San Diego...

[Sakuraba]

DA Bills

...will probably get their first win next week in Toronto. Again, I hope I'm wrong...

[mpare]

Say what you will about Bill Bellichek, but he certainly knows when to send someone packing.

Hi Randy.


Bye Randy.
