Captain Hindsight

I remember seeing a Football Life with Jimmy Johnson and he was on his fishing boat with Belicheck talking about what he told Jason Garrett when he became the head coach of the Cowboys. Something to the effect of "X's and O's don't matter anymore. Everyone is this building from the QB to the coaching staff to the janitor to each fan is looking to you for guidance and leadership. You have to set the tone every single day of the mentality of your team. If you do it consistently, they will follow you." I get the impression guys do that with Marrone. I felt the same way about Gailey so its maybe its all for naught. But one thing I loved about Sunday was before the final play, Marrone walked up to Mario and said (I think via lip reading) "End this ****." Gailey was pretty good at the X's and O's (offensively) but I wouldn't say the same thing about Marrone, he seems more like a general than X's and O's guy.

Does that put him in the KC game? or At Pittsturd?

Stop it your going to make me blush

Trade him while he's hot!

This^ At the Baltimore game I saw just the raw talent EJ has. You either have it or you don't. EJ is built like an elite athlete, Thad just isn't.

With all due respect to the Thad supporters here, there is no controversy. Thad is gritty, tough and has made some nice plays. He has also looked like a QB that just came off the PS. He is Fitz with a better arm. Once teams get more than 3 games of footage on him he will be easier to defend. I have little faith in a Thad Lewis led team for 16 games. He is limited, went undrafted for a reason and was backing up KELLEN MOORE in Detroit two months ago. His ceiling may already have been reached. EJ has immense talent albeit he is a bit raw. But if you haven't recognized his talent, leadership and pure ability, you are clearly missing something

Our wins have been predicated on forcing turnovers. That's fine as they seem to be consistent doing it. Once the offense gets up to full strength I don't think it will be needed. As others have said, our defense is actually pretty good this year as opposed to in 2011 we had a few crazy games and at time were getting absolutely blown out before the team woke up

Ryan has an unreal defense. Those guys are stacked on that side of the ball. I'm still not sold on the chiefs as the only team worth a damn they have beaten is the cowboys but none the less the job Reid has done has been impressive My vote goes to Chuck Pagano. That team really could have slid after last season but they are really solid all around and a serious force to be reckoned with. Honorable Mention to Marrone. To have this team prepared to play each week when it was difficulty to field a healthy 46 has left me impressed with the coaching staff. A game out of 500 with the injuries weve had is impressive

Not that game. This game http://espn.go.com/nfl/recap?gameId=291011002

Blah Blah Blah Ratings grabbing headline blah blah blah

Yeah if it was 2009 when Cutler was traded

Its usually at least a week When does flex scheduling start?

That throw that preceeded the hit too was gutsy. He reminds me of Fitz with a better arm. Over 16 games he will suck, 3-4 he will be decent and give you a shot to win

That 6-3 cleveland game was farrrrrr worse. Trust me I was there.

I am much more confident about most games this year than in years past simply because I trust the coaching staff to have the team ready to play. We haven't laid an egg in any game yet

He looks like hes having fun out there. Thats great to see now knowing all the troubles he had last year

Dont worry I'm sure he will be better by his next primetime game... in 6 days

He looked pretty bad. You can see how talented he is but most of his throws were way off. Lucky for NFL fans the Vikings will have another primetime game this week on Sunday night

Last time Brees played against Pettine he was held to 190 yards passing and Pierre Thomas had 86 yards rushing. If we can hold them to that I feel we have a decent shot. http://espn.go.com/nfl/boxscore?gameId=291004018 Thad will need to make some plays with his arm. He's capable, but I worry more film on him will make him easier to defend

If Marrone gets this team to 9-7 he should win coach of the year. Missing the top 3 CBs and FS for 5 weeks. His starting QB for 2.5 (and counting) starting a PS QB and not having a LG for weeks, two banged up backs and we are a game below 500. I have been very impressed with the coaching staff and I would love to see what this team looks like fully healthy

Yeah thatll work

Lee Evans. I thought he was a good and well respected player in the league. When we traded him my friend asked me who he was

You owe me ten bucks! Thats trademarked!

Here's an idea, don't fight over a game like you know, children

Nice to see Ej there
