Week 5 discussion thread

[GSC]

An absolute battering for the Cards in St Louis as they become mortal. OL problems really beginning to hurt them as Kolb's been taken down 17 times in the past 2 games.

Rams above .500 for the first time since 2006.

[CFCNick]

Really impressed with Janoris Jenkins. What a game he had. Other than that it really was an awful game for the last three quarters.

[GSC]

Most of the sacks came against a 4 and sometimes 3 man rush.

I maintain Kolb is better than Skelton, not even Brady or Peyton could survive behind that OL.

[skins4ever]

Sky+ almost full so I cancelled last nights recording. SOOO glad!

Getting excited about Skins matchup with the Falcons now. Not to bitch on the Buccs, but this is a different class of D for RGIII to face, and really think the Falcs will skin our secondary.

[crazy_dave23]

Just watched on Gamepass. O-Line was terrible for Arizona and I also had a problem with Kolb throwing the deep comeback or deep out patterns at around 10-15 yard range... planted a few straight into the ground or had a miscommunication with his wideout over the exact route and just plain missed tem.

Loved Patrick Peterson doing returning. I don't really think I've seen a Cardinals game in full for a couple of years and so you only really see his TD returns, but he was making things happen on every return, picking up a solid 15-25 yards on each.

[adams_legend]

Rams have already got more wins this year than last season

Defence looks a lot better than last year, the players have learned how to tackle

[Good Golly I'm Olly]

So here we are again. Brady vs Manning part 15,001

ITS TEBOW TIME!

[Good Golly I'm Olly]

Vick fumbles on the goalline for the Eagles after a good drive. Turnovers killing teams atm (i'm looking at you Kansas)

[crazy_dave23]

Finally watching a Packers game live and not on delay!

[crazy_dave23]

and Cedric Benson just had a TD vultured from him by John Kuhn

[twelve283]

Vick is such a joke.

[crazy_dave23]

I'm learning how slow Redzone can actually be...
I'm flicking over whenever the Packers game hits an Ad break and if they ever show a Packers play its about 5 minutes old!

[crazy_dave23]

OMG
See a Reggie Wayne Catch at 7:32 of 2nd Quarter... its amazing

[mikeygnfl]

Vick is such a joke.

Going on the season so far the Eagles will scramble somehow to a one point Vick-tory

[Good Golly I'm Olly]

Oh my god Kansas

[Good Golly I'm Olly]

Ok Kansas need to get the ball as far away from Matt Cassell as possible. Hand it off to Charles, throw Brady Quinn in there, just not Cassell!

[crazy_dave23]

So this weeks edition of "The player Dave faces, who goes off one one" is Victor Cruz...

[crazy_dave23]

and I didnt realize RGIII had got himself banged up...

[Good Golly I'm Olly]

He is never gonna survive for long in this league unless he starts protecting himself more

[mikeygnfl]

Currently Eagles 7-13 Steelers. Cue late lucky Eagles TD and a 14-13 win.

[crazy_dave23]

I'm getting fed up of lame pass interference calls this season.

[GSC]

Haters proceed to keep hating

[GB1919]

I'm with you Dave.

[Bull]

losing in fantasy league at the Mo i really hope Cutler has an Magical game to help me turn this around after all Jennings cant play , Stafford is BYE so i guess Jay is my only hope.

[crazy_dave23]

Woodson brings it on himself, but the one on Sam Shields was nothing... there have been so many like that in so many games this year

[mikeygnfl]

I need a big game from Cam Newton (keeper league) and a poor game from Cam Newton (West league).

[Good Golly I'm Olly]

Packers down 22-21 to the Colts, Colts looking good for the upset...

[CFCNick]

I don't wanna speak too soon but if Bradshaw and the OL can keep this up we may have a running game to tallk about.

[crazy_dave23]

Packers down 22-21 to the Colts, Colts looking good for the upset...

Packers have been horrendous in the second half.
The line is useless... bring back Chad Clifton

[GB1919]

We've only been waiting 18 months for that from Green!

[crazy_dave23]

We've only been waiting 18 months for that from Green!

a lineman (RG I think) still fell over making the block on that run!
Anyway... TD James Jones, slightly undeserved really... I feel odd saying that

[CFCNick]

In one league I had RG3 and Big Ben. RG3 got 4 points, Ben got 9!!!!

[mikeygnfl]

Just seen that Andrew Luck joins Ryan Tannehill, RG3 and Cam Newton as rookie QBs to throw over 1000 yards in their 1st 4 NFL games.

[mikeygnfl]

Crosby has just put a FG wide to tie in the Colts- Packers game. It was 51 yards though.

[Good Golly I'm Olly]

Packers are now 2-3, should imagine the Vkings, Bears and Lions are licking there lips

[Good Golly I'm Olly]

Andrew Lucks final stats: 31/55 for 363 yards and 2 TD's.

This guy is gonna be great

[Good Golly I'm Olly]

7-0 Pats, TD pass to Welker!

Great drive from the Pats to start off the game, need to keep it up!

[crazy_dave23]

Andrew Lucks final stats: 31/55 for 363 yards and 2 TD's.

This guy is gonna be great

He did pretty well, particularly in the second half... one caveat he was 0/8 on third down at one point.

Very disappointed by the second half from Green Bay. We were in control in the first half, but deserved to loose in the end

[Good Golly I'm Olly]

Rodgers sacked 5 times in the 2nd half. Was it poor OL play or just poor play from Rodgers Dave?

[GSC]

Tough loss, but there aren't too many harder assignments than going to a Pittsburgh team thats had 2 weeks to sit on a loss. Detroit next week before the bye, so 4-2 isn't out the question

[crazy_dave23]

Rodgers sacked 5 times in the 2nd half. Was it poor OL play or just poor play from Rodgers Dave?

There is a large dose of bad O-Line play, unquestionably... often the pocket just collapses around A-Rod and he is left in the middle of a scrum of bodies.

However sometimes he sits back too long or the play breaks down and he is able to escape slightly but still gets sacked.
Rodgers is either holding onto the ball too long or the receivers are not running fantastic routes because I don't think the Colts pass defence could have been putting up consistent shutout coverage down field. That's the kind of thing that is often hard to judge from TV broadcast angles

[GSC]

Wonder if games like this make it impossible to let Greg Jennings walk

[Colan (niner)]

Alex Smith showing his downfield passing game is pretty good. Beatiful route for the td from Kyle Williams, guy is dynamite with the ball in his hands

[GSC]

Not so much with his legs

[Good Golly I'm Olly]

14-7 Patriots. Both offences are carving up the defences, this could be 60-60

[mikeygnfl]

14-7 Patriots. Both offences are carving up the defences, this could be 60-60

Hopefully, as long the Patriots stop rushing TDs.

[Colan (niner)]

49ers had their best offensive half of football this year imo. Only 17 points but great run/pass balance and could have been so much more if not for a fumble/chop block and tripping calls. Alex Smith around 250 and 2 td's, not bad

[Number-25]

In one league I had RG3 and Big Ben. RG3 got 4 points, Ben got 9!!!!

In the East league I have Big Ben and Luck. I played Big Ben tonight
