"NFL Football is Back!" 2011 Season Thread

[Demonbinder]

He has elite physical talent, which is not the same as being an elite QB.

It would be nice if this year he could show that he not only has the elite physical talent but is an elite QB.

Ben, at the time Bears got Cutler there were quite a few people outside Chicago who thought he had the makings of an elite QB.

I, sadly, was not one of those people.

[Donegeal]

Which generally means those people were right.

(but I'll still give you props for 'Leggs' vs 'Hands')

I took that as a given. :lol

[Al B. Sure!]

Legs vs. Hands was the funniest and most clever thing Ben ever came up with.

Carson Palmer's retirement has had a ripple effect on Jordan Palmer, his little brother, who was just cut by the Bengals.

Irony, Floyd was a bust last year. The correct answer was neither.

[OzzyKP]

With all the necessary pre-season caveats, the Lions are looking pretty damn good. Brady has been on his back all half.

[Al B. Sure!]

Lions defense is bananas. Matt Stafford was throwing a near-perfect game but notice how Shaun Hill comes in and looks just as impressive.

Pretty decent game for Cutler tonight.

13/21 for 170 yards and a pick is pretty decent? You're such a Bears fan!

It was an Eli-style INT -- very catchable ball, off Roy Williams' hands. Hester had two drops, and Knox was ruled OB on a sideline catch. They never attempted a deep ball. Extend those stats to a full game, and it's about 300 yds. I'll take a completion pct. in the 60s and YPC over ten. Cutler was solid, and the line kept him standing for the most part.

Yes, it was a pretty decent performance. Considering that you obviously did not see the game, STFU.

So much hostility... why?

Chad Henne is 10/13 for 175 yards and a TD. What would you call that?

The Pats realized they'd have to stay in Detroit because of the hurricane and have been depressed all game.

Apparently Henne had a good night. How is that relevant?

It's called an explanation, Alby. There's no hostility.

But your tendency to spout off on things you have no actual knowledge of can be a bit offputting. Thus the stfu.
