Burgundy LaRue Posted September 8, 2014 Share Posted September 8, 2014 That INT is the Colts in a nutshell. Luck is a competitive son of a gun, and will go down guns blazing. The problem is that the team surrounding him is garbage. This mess is worse than when Peyton was still a Colt. At least the offense was good all those years. Luck is just treading water on his own, for the most part. Oh, and f*ck Fleener. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Burgundy LaRue Posted September 8, 2014 Share Posted September 8, 2014 And that's why I didn't bother getting excited. Woo-hoo (sarcasm). Thanks for allowing me to go all Faulknerian, stream-of-consciousness in here. Good night everyone, and I hate you all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tabe Posted September 8, 2014 Share Posted September 8, 2014 Adam Schefter @AdamSchefter · 33m Texans fear No. 1 overall pick Jadeveon Clowney has a meniscus tear that could require arthroscopic surgery, per source. Same time I tore my ACL, I tore my meniscus. The meniscus hurt more. A year later, I tore the meniscus in my other knee. That hurt more than the ACL, the first meniscus, and getting run over by a car (age 14, yo) - combined. Unbelievably excruciating. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrianS81177 Posted September 8, 2014 Share Posted September 8, 2014 The Rams can't possibly expect to go a full season with Hill/Davis at QB can they? How many weeks before they cave and sign Terrelle Pryor? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James F'n X Posted September 8, 2014 Share Posted September 8, 2014 I am giddy after watching Sunday's games. Arizona's got a real good chance of being full of obnoxious, nouveau riche Seattle fans come February. gohawks 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Erotic Terrorist Posted September 8, 2014 Share Posted September 8, 2014 Well, the Rams also have Case Keenum. It's just that he was signed just days ago so he had no time to get used to the offense and that's why he didn't appear today. Of course I don't think he's a great answer either to try and help the Rams and their woes. And I am mum on how the Bucs game turned out on purpose. Bleh.

Kevin Wilson Posted September 8, 2014 Share Posted September 8, 2014 Old Man Jackson isn't impressed with Conte (spoilered for size): The best part is Conte claimed he was going for the strip which is why he didn't tackle Jackson. But he didn't get anywhere close to even touching the ball.... he was about as close to stripping it as I was, sitting at home in my living room watching the game.

Red is Dead Posted September 8, 2014 Share Posted September 8, 2014 Still learning about the game into my second full season as a supporter after a lengthy (20+ year) hiatus - NINERS. Is it me, or did Romo waste chances last night? The way I see it (and I'm genuinely interested in the mindset here) - he was inside the 10, on a 2nd down, and he ran a pass play and got sacked. Why not run it? He was already a TD (or 2) down - why not run the ball? Or was it that his receivers are better than his runners (forgive me for not getting the technical jargon down) Secondly, later in the game he was hesitating when his receivers were open...not seeing the receiver at the time, the everlasting threat of another INT or just lol Romo lol?

Why not run it? He was already a TD (or 2) down - why not run the ball? Or was it that his receivers are better than his runners (forgive me for not getting the technical jargon down) Well in regards to this - Romo isn't calling the plays. That is up to Jason Garrett (head coach) and Bill Callahan (Offensive cordinator). I am not sure which one of them calls the plays for Dallas but yeah... they would have been the one sending the play into Romo. Now depending on the situation of that game - if the play you are referencing was later in the game (say 4th quarter) - a team trying to come back is going to be throwing instead of running. (Uses up less time - gains more yardage quickly - clock stops if incomplete) Now... if you are specifically asking why Romo himself didn't scramble and try to run it in after the play broke down... well... Romo running would probably scare me as much as Eli running. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red is Dead Posted September 8, 2014 Share Posted September 8, 2014 Cheers rippa - obvious to think the coaches would call it. didnt think of that. I was thinking specifically in the first quarter when Romo got sacked after the passing play and the cowboys settled for a FG. In my (albeit naive and probably simplistic) mind, wouldn't it have made more sense to have a running play? minimal yardage to cover, the tackles could potentially open up an avenue to the endzone? I can only assume that he was hesitant in the second q as he got picked off a few times in the early going. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Romo running would probably scare me as much as Eli running. Linehan called some odd plays but that's not what really did them in to be honest. Even though they had success running, they would call consecutive pass plays that would end up putting them in 3rd and long situations. But really, Romo held the ball too long most of the game. He wasn't on the same page with his receivers and just didn't look comfortable. One of the interceptions they had Terrence Williams over the middle wide open for a touchdown but Romo forced it to Dez Bryant in triple coverage. Another interception in the end zone he had a guy wide open for a touchdown right after he dropped back but he didn't pull the trigger and ended up holding the ball and rolling out and threw the pick. I think it has a lot to do with the fact that he hasn't been playing and sat out most of the preseason. The defense held up a lot better than I thought they would though. Despite what a lot of people going in said about the lack of a pass rush and the defensive line being lacking, the secondary is the main problem. Rolando McClain actually looked really good and Bruce Carter made some plays also. No matter what though, even if the offense can get things going, with the secondary being so clueless all the time they're going to struggle to make it to 8-8. The season should and hopefully will end with Jason Garrett getting fired. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or they can just let Fred Jackson run the ball about 5 times. Based on that over time run I think the bars of soap would have been less painful 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it's barely worth a flag, let alone an ejection. Honestly I was surprised when I heard he got flagged for the kick. It's obvious he was trying to hurdle and then just adjusted in mid-air when the kicker didn't do the expected "dive low in case you get lucky" thing.
