if anyone saw that great MSU/Michigan triple overtime game...you saw the next Randy Moss...if you throw the ball anywhere near this guy, he'll get it...amazing.
As far as the game...what a comeback! Down 17 points with 6 mins left, Michigan forces OT, then wins it! Those diaper dandies Henne and Hart along with Edwards are a force!!! Too bad they crapped the bed against ND or they'd be in the top 4...then again Michigan always does stevestojan like that.
GO BLUE!!!
I am very hesitant to make any predictions concerning Michigan wideouts. I thought Marquise Walker was going to be a pro-bowler; I don't even think he's on an active roster.
Anyway, here's hoping Wisconsin chokes against Minnesota!

I really don't see any reason to get attached to players that don't give two s#its about any of us. And if anyone thinks these players do, then your rose colored glasses are even a darker shade than the rest. #89, no one rips on you for doing it, but don't expect us to follow the same mantra that these players care. They care where their next paycheck is coming from, and if thats the Dolphins, the Steelers, etc, they would be gone. I root for Laundry - always have, always will. Of course I have my favorites: Jim Kelly, Reimersma, etc, but do i think either of those guys would be bothered with me? Yeah right!
You should check out this article about Robert Porcher leaving the Lions. While he may be an anomaly, it shows you that there still players who care about their team, teammates and the fans more than any paycheck.

On several different plays, I thought Sam Adams knew the snap count. He was off the ball in a heartbeat and did this "club" move on the center (knocking him to the side with his arm) before getting in the backfield.
He played the best game on the field for any defensive player yesterday.

I agree.
As much as I like Travis Henry (and think he got somewhat of a raw deal), the offense and the entire team has a different attitude when McGahee is in the game. I think we can play smashmouth and really hand it to the Jets. I also think Bledsoe played with a lot of confidence against thw Jets last time--and that could carry over to this game.
-
I would say that he has not fully regained his speed--and seems a long way off.
One play comes to mind yesterday. 3rd and 1-- it was a fake hand-off to the FB to the right and then they pitch out to McGahee to the left (a play that Martz invented with Marshall Faulk in St.Louis). The idea is McGahee has to beat the defense to the outside. He didn't make it--he was dragged down short of the first down.
In addition, he was dragged down from behind a few times on draws yesterday.
But, consider that he still gained over a 100 yards and he's not even at full speed yet! When he gets back to full form, he'll be a monster.

Check out the 1993 draft:

And then answer this question: Would you rather have had the #1 overall pick or the #222 overall?
-
Honestly, this might make some sense. It seems like we throw a hundred passes to Shelton out of the backfield. Well, if WM is at fullback instead, those balls will be going to him and he can do a heck of a lot more in the open field.

I think everyone takes Gray and the defense for granted.
1) People say, "They're only good because of Lebeau and Gregg Williams." But this is unfounded--how do you know this? I think TD is in a better position to know how much Gray contributes to the defense.
2) Others saying, "Why sign him? He won't get snatched up." I think that's wrong. He almost left to coach at U of Texas last season. He might leave for another lateral position if we're not committed to him. This shows we are committed to him.
3) Others saying, "This is a bad defense. We are bad on 3rd downs. We can't stop a game-winning drive, etc." Give me a break. You judge Gray's performance on basically two games. Two games we weren't good on third down and we didn't stop the opponent's GW drive. And one of those games, we didn't stop them because of mental mistakes (e.g., Clements not knocking down Leftwich's pass to Jimmy Smith)., not bad coaching.

I'll tell you what the love affair with UNC is all about = Roy Williams. Nothing against Roy Williams, but he isn't God. Even after SU won the title, they almost treated Kansas as champ on ESPN ("if only Wayne Simeon wasn't injured...."). They cooled off on UNC when Daugherty was coach--but not with Roy in town!
Btw, I've seen at least 4 publications have us in the championship game. This is probably the most hyped SU team since the 87-89 years.
-
I'm just going off what another poster said, but the rule is: can't celebrate by doing something choreographed/pre-mediated by more than just the player.
I have no doubt Spikes thought about this beforehand. But look at the other players--they had no idea he was going to bowl. It looks like #25 is holding the other guys back from jumping on Spikes so he can do his thing. There's no way all those players pre-meditated to act as a "bowling audience."
-
I would consider TH the consummate team player. A team player goes out and plays all 16 games for a 6-10 team on a broken leg and with bruised ribs and doesn't complain. Putting the WM issue aside, TH deserves a lot more respect than you are giving him.
-
No doubt GW is a great defensive coach and he gets the respect of his players. He showed that here.
His biggest problems as HC were: (1) Selection of his coaching staff; and (2) Stupid game-day management (bad challenge calls; failure to make gameday adjustments; bad judgment calls).
If he couldn't overcome these problems in 3 years in Buffalo (esp. game-day management issues), then I don't see him drastically improving in his next HC stint. Of course, Bill Belichek was a loser in Cleveland and he managed to do a "little" better in New England.
-
I agree with you.
I would also add:
Cleveland, Houston, Dallas, Washington and Tampa Bay.
And to those of you who dispute this, the idea isn't who are we better than "record-wise" right now--but instead talent-wise and where, I believe, we'll end up at season's end.

Great stat from that article:
The victory which extended New England's winning streak to 20 games was the Pats' first triumph this year that didn't come against a winless opponent.

If you're talking about this week, it's a no-brainer: Holmes and Moore (great match-up against the Saints who have allowed 10 RB TD's this year).
After this week, Moore will be useless. So long-term, I'd say Holmes and Henry.

I can't see how any bad play can beat the "Music City Miracle." That was by far the worst play in Bills history (and it still makes me physically ill just thinking about it).
-
TH holds the ball the exact same way he did when he had fumble problems a few years back. The difference now has been: pure luck. Travis has been lucky so far. If a defender gets a good hit on the ball, it will come loose. It's just that no defender has yet.
-
I saw the entire Browns/Steelers game. And I know I didn't see unblocked guys go straight to the QB. Their o-line may not be spectacular, but they're not incompetent. They also do a lot better run-blocking than our o-line.
As for Rothlesberger's mobility, etc., it's unbelievable. It's actually strange watching him and then Bledsoe--they are identical re. physical tools. The only difference is that Rothlesberger has 10 times the amount of pocket presence and football IQ than Bledsoe. We have a poor man's Ben R.
-
The only difference is that the entire o-line is healthy. The Steelers' o-line last year was entirely decimated by injury--they had only two guys start all 16 games for them on the o-line (Hartings and Simmons) and had five different combinations of starters on the line. That's why they were so bad last season.
-
why bother even watching the games if you've given up all hope? I've waited all year for the season to start; I won't abandon it after 4 weeks.
I have hope...for the PLAYOFFS!! B) We've lost 3 games by a total of 8 points and the other one (Pats) we were tied in the 4th qtr. against the best team in the NFL. There's hope.

I think the sack was more on Jennings than DB-- the Jets rushed four (maybe even three) on the play and Jennings got abused.
DB was ticked about it. From Buff News article:
Asked what happened on a sack with 51 seconds left, a fed-up Bledsoe said, "I don't know. I dropped back and they tackled me."

Come on! Schobel alone has been in on something like 4 turnovers (3 FF and 1 FR).
And as for a consistent pass rush, this isn't Madden football. No DE is going to get 4 sacks every week. AS is always around the ball--against the run and pass-- and always puts pressure on the QB. He might not be to the level of a John Abraham--then again, Schobel can't play against Bledsoe twice a year to pad his stats (e.g., 3 of Abraham's sacks were against DB this year).
