Starting at the Chiefs heading to San Diego, where its being reported that Norv Turner will be fired if he doesn't win

by crazy_dave23 Thu 01 Nov 2012, 8:35 pm

I don't think AJ Smith is capable of firing Norv Turner

by GSC Thu 01 Nov 2012, 8:46 pm

Apparently the owner is though.

by crazy_dave23 Thu 01 Nov 2012, 9:02 pm

Steelers will fly direct to Newark on Sunday rather than the day before as there hotel doesn't have any power.

Wonder what happens if they get delayed?

by GSC Thu 01 Nov 2012, 9:04 pm

In the circumstances I imagine the NFL would delay the game.

What a game for Thursday night football this week!

by **Good Golly I'm Olly** Fri 02 Nov 2012, 12:49 am

If the Chiefs are gonna have a chance they have to stop playing man to man on Gates. That's just silly play calling

by **Good Golly I'm Olly** Fri 02 Nov 2012, 12:56 am

Oh Kansas, Kansas, Kansas. It's not that difficult. Just stop turning the ball over!

by GSC Fri 02 Nov 2012, 7:40 am

Time for the reset button in KC. Pioli made 3 key mistakes, Trading for Cassel, hiring hiring Todd Haley and hiring Romeo Crennel

Don't say such things, SD defense got me 29 points last night thanks to the issues in Kansas.

After Alex Smith's 18/19 passing left him one completion short of the NFL accuracy record last week, Phillip Rivers goesa cushty 19/20 on Thursday Night Football... shame one of the completed passes was to Kansas City... Whistle

by GSC Fri 02 Nov 2012, 9:40 pm

Lettuce be reality, nobody really wanted to erase Kurt Warners name for Alex Smith

by **Good Golly I'm Olly** Sun 04 Nov 2012, 5:14 pm

What are people's thoughts on Ryan Tannehill? I thought he was gonna be really bad but he is actually playing well despite what the stats say

by Thomond Sun 04 Nov 2012, 5:15 pm

Tannehill has arguably the best rookie QB, when you consider what he has to work with (i.e. nothing). Making some great plays and helping his team win. He has been super.

by **Good Golly I'm Olly** Sun 04 Nov 2012, 5:17 pm

Personally I think they have a great shot at a wildcard this year. Especially if Bush stays healthy

Did some terrible things in week one whilst I was watching, but credit to the guy... he came back from that and has played well. Not spectacular but he's ahead of the curve that most analysts set for him this year.

by GSC Sun 04 Nov 2012, 6:31 pm

These early games seem pretty uninspiring.

by **Good Golly I'm Olly** Sun 04 Nov 2012, 6:34 pm

Indeed GSC. JJ Watt is such a beast

by GSC Sun 04 Nov 2012, 6:34 pm

Who knew it only took a whistle to spring DeAngelo Williams for a TD

by **Good Golly I'm Olly** Sun 04 Nov 2012, 6:49 pm

Bears D is currently outscoring my entire fantasy team

by GSC Sun 04 Nov 2012, 6:49 pm

Bears beating up on another poor team.

by **Derbyblue** Sun 04 Nov 2012, 7:21 pm

Wanted Weeden to throw for Gordon/Benjamin in the endzone there, were already within Dawson's range, unless something goes wrong here 14-9 to the Ravens at the half.

by GSC Sun 04 Nov 2012, 7:28 pm

The AFC really is weak this year if this Ravens team seems in contention for a bye

by **Good Golly I'm Olly** Sun 04 Nov 2012, 7:32 pm

Ravens?

by CFCNick Sun 04 Nov 2012, 7:43 pm

Love that. Commentator on Redskins game says "I don't think the ground helped him make that catch", cut to replay of receiver holding either end of the ball as it bounces off the ground and in to his grip, other commentator says "I agree with you" in the most serious voice ever. Don't know if he is genuinely making fun of his colleague or is just as stupid.

by **Derbyblue** Sun 04 Nov 2012, 7:47 pm

Weeden almost picked off by Reed, throws a pick to Williams on the next play. The first one he shouldn't have thrown, Josh Gordon was wide open in the middle of the field for probably a 10 yard pick up, instead Weeden tries to throw down field where he has 3 receivers up against 5 DBs, Reed to be honest really should have picked it off. Then he throws it behind Jordan Cameron who wasn't even looking for the ball, thanks to the pick return start with 39 yards to go to the end zone.

by GSC Sun 04 Nov 2012, 7:48 pm

On first viewing I thought he had it as it hit the ground tbh.

by GSC Sun 04 Nov 2012, 7:49 pm

Though in fairness, it was a bad pass from RG3

by CFCNick Sun 04 Nov 2012, 7:50 pm

Good defensive stand by the Browns there.

by GSC Sun 04 Nov 2012, 7:52 pm

I think we can safely say that Flacco is not an elite QB.

I'd struggle to say good atm.

by GSC Sun 04 Nov 2012, 7:52 pm

The TNF game is Colts at Jags?

Are they trying to make the worst schedule of all time?

by GSC Sun 04 Nov 2012, 7:56 pm

Shanahan breaking out all the gimmick plays

by GSC Sun 04 Nov 2012, 7:59 pm

Possibly getting a bit too cute though.

by GSC Sun 04 Nov 2012, 8:03 pm

That TD to Washington was pretty ridic

Every team has to be on TNF once I think. At least we have Luck in this game.

by GSC Sun 04 Nov 2012, 8:04 pm

I know, but whoever thought Colts/Jags needed primetime should be fired.

by **Good Golly I'm Olly** Sun 04 Nov 2012, 8:05 pm

Two birds with one stone GSC

Well he was 10/10, had 4 straight incompletions though around both sides of the half.

by GSC Sun 04 Nov 2012, 8:07 pm

Better options than those 2 in the offseason I imagine. Jags suck and Colts were the worst team.

Hopefully TNF goes

by **Good Golly I'm Olly** Sun 04 Nov 2012, 8:08 pm

I like TNF. Rich Eisen and the team offer brilliant coverage

by GSC Sun 04 Nov 2012, 8:09 pm

It gives the home team an unfair advantage judging by W/L record

by **Good Golly I'm Olly** Sun 04 Nov 2012, 8:12 pm

Home advantage GSC? Should imagine in general having a home game gives you an advantage

by CFCNick Sun 04 Nov 2012, 8:14 pm

TNF is garbage. Football is for Sunday and Monday only. Although the away team on TNF gets better prep than the Steelers this week.

Anyone familiar with the "Redskins Rule"? If the Redskins win Obama will get re-elected on Tuesday. As it stands Mitt Romney will be president.

by **Good Golly I'm Olly** Sun 04 Nov 2012, 8:15 pm

2 INT's for Peyton in Cincy. Broncos lose that they go 4-4 and tied with San Diego and maybe even Oakland

by GSC Sun 04 Nov 2012, 8:15 pm

Home teams have a ridic record on TNF beyond just being at home obviously.

Luck the 2nd rookie with 4 300 yard games in his first year

by GSC Sun 04 Nov 2012, 8:17 pm

Mike Shanahan flipping the bird to a ref Laugh

(He was actually asking if it was 2nd down)

by **Derbyblue** Sun 04 Nov 2012, 8:18 pm

GSC wrote:It gives the home team an unfair advantage judging by W/L record

Aren't most TNF games divisional games or at least teams in the same time zone so not exactly sure where the advantage comes from.

by **Good Golly I'm Olly** Sun 04 Nov 2012, 8:18 pm

Larry Fitzgerald is just crazy good. Man he is a great player

by GSC Sun 04 Nov 2012, 8:21 pm

6-2 this season alone tbf

by CFCNick Sun 04 Nov 2012, 8:25 pm

Titans can't even bat down balls properly today. If they were more than my 2nd team I'd be upset right now.
