Lessons from Week 5

[KC Scott]

The Panthers won - I'm sure Duane will be back on that cabboose pretty fast


In other news - props to the Doinks for beating a decent team, The Cowboys are shit, and The Vikings proved me wrong

[Paul]

The Ravens are a downright FRAUD!

Go ahead and suck on that one PISC, you vomit-stained, piss-chugging halfwit.

[Diogenes]

If you're team hasn't won all year, the best thing that could happen to you is playing the Redskins.

Take the Chiefs and the points next week.

[Felix]

Denver and that defense is for real

[Joe in PB]

The Ravens are a downright FRAUD!

The question is did Baltimore self destruct on D because of lack of discipline, or were the penalties because they just couldn't cover the Bengal WRs?

I'm leaning towards they just couldn't cover the Bengal Wrs when Cincy decided to air it out at the end.

[BSmack]

Denver and that defense is for real

Too bad their fans had no faith in them. Better keep your hand on the "bandwagon eject button" just in case.

Oh, and how 'bout them Jags. ;)

[jiminphilly]

I have no idea how good the Eagles are and I'll probably have to wait till week 8 to find out.

[KC Scott]

Mike Nolan has done a fuck of a job so far.

Yep - and there's your next hot HC candidate.

[trev]

I'm not at all sold on the Broncos yet. You all feel free to stroke their balls.

[Felix]

Too bad their fans had no faith in them.

well tell me what you'd expect if a new coach came in and the first thing he did was trade Rothlisberger?!?!?!? I'd be willing to bet you'd have a lot of apprehension about that guy as well....

they're either one lucky ass team (s'up bengals) or have just made a 360 turn around in their defense in a single season....given that they've shut out two pretty good teams in the second half of consecutive games, I'm betting on the latter....

Comparing Cuntler to Big Ben? Talk about your never made the playoffs apple being compared with a 2 time champion orange. A better comparison (though still not a perfect one, would be when Cowher came into training camp his first season and traded the previous year's 1st round draft pick. I think he worked out fairly well as a head coach.

The realistic attitude would have been to admit that you really had no idea what McDaniels was doing, or how his players would respond to his system. But what you did was this

I'll be amazed if Denver can field an punt return team

forget that I said they'd win at least three, they'll be lucky to beat anybody this year...what a fucking disasterous start to what will probably be a short term as head coach.....

Amazing. Just amazing.

You sure? Better keep the eject button close by. You never know when you might need to throw your team under the bus for no discernible reason.

Comparing Cuntler to Big Ben?

it was an ANALOGY tard not a comparison...the fact that it flew over your head is stunning (not really)

No, a better comparison would be that were Tomlin to leave the first thing the new coach tried to do was to make a deal for a QB that had just come off a pretty stellar season...what do you think Rothlisbergers reaction would be? Probably the same reaction that Cutler had-why the fuck are you trying to make a deal for a QB when I thought I was the guy.

forget that I said they'd win at least three, they'll be lucky to beat anybody this year...what a fucking disasterous start to what will probably be a short term as head coach.....

it was a gut reaction to what I saw as McDaniels making some rather piss poor coaching decisions/moves.....he handled it entirely the wrong way and no matter what their record is, the way the Cutler deal was handled was wrong all the way around....he should have told Cutler about possibly going after Cassel and telling him the reason for it instead of Cutler finding out about it all by reading it in the newspaper....a good coach would have handled the matter in an entirely different way

Amazing. Just amazing.

yeah, it is pretty amazing...pretty amazing that McDaniel's shit the bed on dealing with Cutler, then was too fucking stubborn to admit that he'd made a mistake in the way he went about it.....Bowlen said the same thing....and if you'd like, I'll hook you up with a few bronco fan sites where the vast majority of Denver fans had the same exact reaction that I did....

You sure? Better keep the eject button close by. You never know when you might need to throw your team under the bus for no discernible reason.

as long as you've been on these boards you know I've lived and died with Denver, so to call me a bandwagon fan is not only stupid, but an insult

go fuck yourself

Comparing Cuntler to Big Ben?

You do understand the the very essence of an analogy is a comparison between two entities?

No, a better comparison would be that were Tomlin to leave the first thing the new coach tried to do was to make a deal for a QB that had just come off a pretty stellar season...what do you think Rothlisbergers reaction would be? Probably the same reaction that Cutler had-why the fuck are you trying to make a deal for a QB when I thought I was the guy.

If Cuntler had been a real man, he would have manned up and relegated Cassel (or whoever McDaniels eventually brought in) to the bench with his play. But he's a little bitch. I'm sure Ben would have been unhappy. But I'm also certain that Ben would have let his play do the real talking. Besides, Ben is a Pittsburgh icon. He's the current face of the franchise and a two time Super Bowl Champion. Cuntler has not even been in the playoffs. Comparing the two in any way, shape or form is retarded.

Awww. Did da big bad coach hurt wittle Cuntler's feelings?

yeah, it is pretty amazing...pretty amazing that McDaniel's shit the bed on dealing with Cutler, then was too fucking stubborn to admit that he'd made a mistake in the way he went about it.....Bowlen said the same thing....and if you'd like, I'll hook you up with a few bronco fan sites where the vast majority of Denver fans had the same exact reaction that I did....

Don't bother with those links. Most of us are already aware that Broncos fans suck. You don't need to provide any further evidence.

go fuck yourself

Touched a nerve eh?

[ChargerMike]

...the Titans have quit.

...Denver will be hard to catch.

...If Orton throws those lasers vs. the Chargers Denver will score 35+

...and, oh yea, the Raiduhs still suck.

[Felix]

Touched a nerve eh?

to a degree yeah...I've never questioned your loyalty to the Steelers, though I've seen you browbeat certain choices they've made in the past

[PISC]

The Ravens are a downright FRAUD!

Go ahead and suck on that one PISC, you vomit-stained, piss-chugging halfwit.

What is this suppose to mean idiot? That you waited for a few weeks to jump in here and steal my bit and take a shot at a legitimate SB contender?
Bwahaha, how fucking pathetic. Listen loser, first off you are still and will always be a fucking idiot I don't care about. You're a simple, ignorant fuckwad who always missed in your weak attempts to run it.

2nd The Ravens are coming off a Conference Title game loss with a rookie QB to a two time champion in the 2000s.

The Ravens have a title in the 2000s.

WHERE THE FUCK IS YOUR TEAM IDIOT?

LT 15 out of 16 Charger rushing yards vs. PIT. Yea dude, you have a point. I am totally wrong. LOL. Fuck you guys round here are so fucking retarded. I mean I bet you really felt glad when you posted this, yea I got him now. What idiot comes in here talking shit when SD was getting RAPED and can't even get a few first downs on the ground against one of the teams I told you they can't hang with??? How does that make sense to you idiot? Now SD is 0-2 against the teams I knew would beat them and you're calling me out???

How did that super stud Mendenhall do? 165 EASY yards on a bunch of pussies. 165 yards which is more than LT and Sproles have combined ALL YEAR IDIOT. Shit this team's owner calls them soft you fucking clueless dickhead!

See, when I make statements they have some validity and they sustain throughout a season or seasons, your dumbass comes in here premature ejaculating on us because of a couple of bullshit weeks. What an ignorant child and so fucking clueless.

What a shock BAL losses came in games where Brady got called out for being a pussy and the refs for showing their inconsistency on the interpretation of a rule and then another shot that was similar to the one on MNF when everyone in the box shared the opinion of, "The rule was implemented to keep players from LEADING with (spearing) with their head. Ray wasn't doing that on that 3rd or 4th down bullshit personal foul call so fuck off. When those old fucktards in stripes learn their job, we might be able to see Raven football again but now, they are trying to soften up prolly so your cunt teams can hang with their D.

Yea, yea, yea now you can bash on the whaa whaaa on calls but you can all fuck off because I saw it, I know what I am talking about and MOST of those that has seen it live or on film agreed. Talk to me in January fucknut but you won't because you're a fucking cunt.

If you wanna lay any money on the Chargers over B-More, Pittsburgh or New England this January, let me know. Come on you fucking twat.

[KC Scott]

2nd The Ravens are coming off a Conference Title game loss with a rookie QB to a two time champion in the 2000s.

You mean they're coming off a loss to the Bengals who were 4-11-1 last season?

[Joe in PB]

The Raven defense can't defend the pass. End of story.....

[PSUFAN]

Go ahead and suck on that one PISC, you vomit-stained, piss-chugging halfwit.

Yep, laughed out loud there.

[Go Coogs']

rookie QB to a two time champion in the 2000s.

Huh? What?

See, when I make statements they have some validity

You're a fucking moron.

[BSmack]

Touched a nerve eh?

to a degree yeah...I've never questioned your loyalty to the Steelers, though I've seen you browbeat certain choices they've made in the past

Yea, I've called out my team on occasion. But I never would have done it to a coach who I had never actually seen coach a game. And I certainly wouldn't have done it in favor of a loser like Cutler. I'm not saying you're a bandwagoner, just that, to paraphrase that great western philosopher Ludacris, you are doing bandwagon activities with bandwagon tendencies.
