    would love to see TO come to Chicago to at least see what he can do. All we have is Knox, Hester, Williams, and Sanzenbacher… [/quote]

Or maybe noone:

Oops! Maybe he’s over playing his hand.[/quote]
Yes, I already know that no NFL teams showed up. I am still of the opinion that TO WILL be picked up, sooner or later… there are teams on there that are willing to take a chance with TO.[/quote]

I could see that, so long as he’s not to greedy. He could help somebody…

You are correct!

LOL! He should take it!

Definitely looking forward to this Cowboys/Eagles battle Sunday night, pretty important game for both sides…

Word. Murray has my attention. Id like to see if that was just a fluke. If not, Dallas may be a playoff contender team.

Lions grab former Bear safety Chris Harris off of the waivers yesterday. What makes it even more interesting is the Lions really arent in a dire need for a safety. Delmas and Spievey have played quite well. This will make their week 10 rival game even more enjoyable.

Will be fun to watch, Eagles can’t stop the run so Murray may get another chance.

No they cant. I believe their running defense is ranked last.

Cowboys just waived Tashard Choice, so they must think that Murray is the real deal. Apparently they’ll be going to a backfield where Murray is the starter, Felix is the third down back, and Tanner is the short yardage back.

Very interesting.

From the “experts” I pay attention to, Murray’s performance was much more about STL than anything else. (he didn’t even have to make anyone miss on that 91-yd TD, for example)

So don’t be surprised if he’s not a gamebreaking talent going fwd. (and if you can sell-high on him, obviously his fantasy value won’t be higher than now)

That is/was my first thought. STL may tie Indy for the worse defeated team. Not because of talent but because of drive. Both have defenses that could hold some games down to small scores but they seem to give up fairly quickly. Philly may have the worst run defense by stats but I dont think Murray will have the same day as last week.

I believe its time for the media and other talking heads to start taking a big shit on Joe Flacco the way they do my boy Mark…Flacco blows![/quote]

They are one in the same![/quote]

Ya they are. Both have lost games and have been given 3-4yrs of chances. Both teams need to start looking in either the draft or FA for next year.[/quote]

Ridiculous statement and utterly false, this is Sanchez’ 3rd year and has played Excellent against championship and playoff caliber teams when it counts (see Pats, Bengals and Chargers) Hes on pace to throw for 25 TDs and 13 INTs, all this with a weak O line and suspect run game. All of which Fucco does not have to deal with. Completion % and QB rating are all on the RISE…and hes only 24. ON TOP of this he is on pace to be sacked more than any other year he has been in the league

he Jets have invested too much in him for them to look for another QB. Last year stupid fucking talking heads would rather have Henne, Bradford and Freeman. They have all looked worse this year

Freeman: 7 TD 10 INT .73 QB rating
Bradford: 3 TD 2 INT .72 QB rating
Flacco: 8 TD 5 INT .76 QB rating
Henne: bullocks

Better numbers than the following QBs as well: Cambell, Kolb, Cutler, Rivers, Orton just to name a few.

The third year is where the QB should take a big step in terms of stats and thus far Sanchez has done same. Does have shit ton to get better at…of course, will he ever be a top 3-5 QB in the league, probably not…but I believe he will be winning all pro QB for the next 10-12 years.[/quote]

Doing well against the Chargers isn’t saying much. They suck, I should know, I’m a fan. They will be lucky to go 8-8. In fact, I hope they suck so they can fire the whole coaching staff. The new defensive coordinator is a joke compared to Ron Rivera.

My brother sold his Chargers vs. Packers tickets for $600 for both of them which go for $98 ticket price. I couldn’t imagine paying that much money for a regular season game.

Ya its crazy. I bought tickets for the GB vs. Chi on Christmas but plans changed and we arent going. I sold both for $655. It is crazy to pay that much but you almost have to for big franchises. A buddy from Milwaukee told me that very rarely, you can actually walk up to the ticket stand and buy one there. They are generally sold out.

I’ve never really understood the desire to attend live NFL games. not in this era of HD bigscreens/tons-of-replay-angles/Redzone channel etc

Now college football is a different animal and of course hot dogs at the ballpark and live hoop/hockey are great as well but someone’s gonna have to hand me a free ticket to an NFL game.

(all that said, GB at SD should be a damn good game as SD does tend to play up/down to their competition)

I enjoy the atmosphere and tailgating. Being at a game with a bunch of fellow fans is great. It’s even better when you are winning and score and get to high five everyone around you. I can usually only afford to go to one game a year, but I usually have a much better time at the game than watching it on television. Only problem is the Scoreboard at Qualcomm stadium is fucking terrible.

I would say its somewhere in the middle ground, Murray was very, very productive at Oklahoma as a UT fan believe me I know.

Why has no one else put up big numbers like that against STL?

Murray is not the next Emmit, BUT Felix is not a bell cow back, Choice always put the ball on the ground. Murray and Felix will be a good combo to run the offense that Garrett wants to run.
