Chan must be Paul Hackett. I have seen you pop up to defend Nate in EVERY thread where there's a negative comment on him. Seriously, I bet if I went to the Off Topic board and posted a negative comment about Nate in the midst of a thread about cookie recipes you'd pop in to defend him. Leave it alone, He's objectively bad not because of scores which you like to parrot, or your stubborn notion that it is impossible to run behind a subpar interior line. The Broncos turned out 1k runners season after season with nobodies for so long after TD left because they ran an effective run blocking scheme, not because their lineman were all all-pros or they had top flight rushers.The threat of the pass and an effective scheme can CREATE opportunities for running. When a line is stifled, you can create de facto rushes by running screens and bubble screens. Hackett does NONE of this. He calls an interior run and the RB moves forward for a yard or two before running into the arms of a wave of defenders who know what our 2 super secret 1st and 2nd down plays are: run inside off the RG or LG.

Solid straw man argument there. You argued against nothing he said.

Nonsensical. That would have lost us the game? EJ over/underthrew like 10 passes. Applying your same logic train I assess Orton would have completed 7-8 of those, leading us to a 14 pt victory...

Doooomed!

Well, I suppose I was wrong about him playing the rest of the season... I feel stupid for it, but rather than give me hope for the future, this move just makes me angrier we gave up our 1 next year. Now where are we getting a QB?

Manuel is staying in for the rest of the season barring injury. We're stuck with him and frankly I'd be more pissed if they benched him for Orton. He sucks. He will always suck. But in the infinitesimal chance that he might rise from the quagmire of sucking, it's not going to happen from the bench.

He didn't need to win it for us, he just needed to not lose. He overthrew wide open receivers and even though the OC decided to abandon the run and force us into offensive futility through the air, the defense kept us in the game until the last drive, when EJ DID lose the game for us in craptacular fashion.

EJ will "develop" this team right into a 4-12 season. Yesterday killed any hope I had for him.

I REALLY tried to keep an open mind and believe that we could win with EJ at QB, but that's a pipe dream. I don't understand how an NFL QB can't hit open receivers. I've seen HS QBs be more accurate

It annoys me that I'm going to have to watch this dude at QB for 2 years. He's singlehandedly stifling our offense

I don't really have an issue with the substance of what he's saying. Problem is he's a bit of a douche, so I just don't like him as a person. Similarly, I used to like Tim Graham, til he decided to adopt this tough guy act on twitter.

I have literally never seen you make a comment that's NOT talking crap about Fred. Total troll. Also, I'd say that's the definition of crusading-can't the mods just ban you already?

who was it that said that? Bart Scott? That guy is trash

We can't cover anyone.

They should fix that ref's mic

Maybe next time preface with "I think"? You're likely to get ripped here if you present speculation as fact. Your post made me nervous!

This is a pretty offensive comment. The "only thing" women can do in the game of football is to dance around and cheer for the men? Though they play in a horribly chauvinistic league, the LFL actually features women who PLAY football. Your comment is so condescending I doubt I'd pay attention to anything else you post in this thread. It equates to "Awww, let the girlies do their dance, they just like the foosball."

I really hope this was sarcastic.

Evidently there is evidence coming that should support this story

Bills 27-10

That's ridiculous- in that event it would have been for 2 seasons of production versus a player who we would have cut By your logic, I could trade Tuel for Peyton Manning, but the trade would be worthless unless Manning re-signs… yeah that makes sense

So you admit it makes sense then. I'm not creating a new train of thought here, this is all old hat. There are stifling defenses and bend but don't break defenses. Bend but don't break rely on big plays to get them out of bad situations in their own half of the field. I'm saying I would prefer to be stifling than allow teams to gain 400+ yards on us. This isn't rocket surgery here. Turnovers lead to a shorter field, which helps the offense and gives the defense rest, they're great. But, if you can't stop a slant or run up the middle on 3rd and 3 consistently, you're eventually going to get caught.

Players have to live in a 24 hour news cycle now. The questions asked at the presser are the same ones he's been asked about like 1000 times. He got tired of the same damn questions and decided he would be "funny." Problem is, he's not funny, so it came off as weird. I'm sure he walked off stage and bragged to his teammates how hilarious he just was.
