How do you keep track of all of the action? It’s called the NFL Red Zone channel. All you need on a Sunday.

Had the Eagles defensive “coordinator” (used loosely) not altered the scheme with 5:50 left in the 4th quarter, Johnson would have had 3 catches for like 40 yards. They shut him down all day until the inevitable Castillo Collapse happened.

This would all be so much more compelling if these games actually counted…

When you can lose 6, even 7 games during the “regular” season – and still qualify for the Super Bowl, no single game can be called compelling.

The pundits wanted to see Wilson benched but are scared to say anything about Lucks Crappy day against the NotYets!! Lol Wilson has now knocked off Romo, Rodgers, Newton, Brady!!! Yet all we read about is Lucks Potential!!!! Biased any???

Belichick has been trying to fix the secondary since 2007 and has failed miserably. Asante Samuel took the money in Philly and it all went to crap. The Patriots wont win anything until they stop devoting everything to offense and spend some money on defense. 35 points a game is great… but it means nothing when your defense gives up 36.

Enough with the pink already.

The NFL should promote literacy. What?
Half the players can’t read at a sixth grade level?
Hmm.

The NFL doesn’t make any money on orange apparel, only pink apparel. Therefore, no orange apparel allowed.

“Apparently, a player can ONLY honor breast cancer? Number one on the top one list of cancer’s that the NFl supports, is it? The NFL front office is a joke!”

Since the NFL obviously wants to control the message that is sent during THEIR games and not allow players to become walking billboards for any cause that strikes the players’ fancy, they have to be consistent about this, even if it means that, occasionally, a worthy cause doesn’t get promoted.

Wow!!! The Redskins’ griffin threw a 76-yard touchdown pass? In the air? What? No. You mean he RAN for the touchdown? Nevermind.

Tannehill looks like something I’ve never seen out of a rookie quarterback before. I’m being dead serious. Don’t get me wrong — I expect Luck and Griffin to be very good, but what I see from them isn’t necessarily what I’m seeing from RT. Tannehill’s stats aren’t flashy, and he has a good chunk of turnovers (there’s only a few where he deserves majority of the blame). But don’t let statistics fool you. RT has complete command of the offense. His awareness at the LOS is amazing to watch. Yeah, he ran the same offense in college, but that doesn’t change the fact that he is seeing things in NFL defenses and adjusting appropriately. That’s the kind of stuff you want to see out of the elite QB’s in the league. That just makes it even more special to watch a rookie do it.

Additionally, he looks great in the pocket. He stands tall, steps forward and isn’t afraid to take a hit. Especially when the OL isn’t playing amazing, he still looks unfazed by the pressure. That’s not something that is taught. Some QB’s melt down from consistent pressure, Tannehill doesn’t.

His best receiver (Hartline) was covered well by Finnegan and held to zero catches. RT did a great job recognizing this (only targeting Hartline twice) and it opened things up for other receivers allowing the ball to be distributed pretty evenly.

Draft a wide receiver, re-sign Hartline to a reasonable deal and the Dolphins could have a pretty scary offense with two good WR’s running the deep routes and Davone Bess doing what he does in the slot.

it’s love to have rg3! for my fantasy team, other than that I’m good with the qb development we are getting out of rt17 and I don’t have to worry about him getting blasted on option plays and shortening his career

Nah, I’ll take Rodgers. Thanks, though…

Browns should be out of the basement of the power rankings this week, eh guys? No way that Jacksonville and Kansas City are better than Cleveland, and Oakland and Carolina is a toss-up.

If you think the Dolphins defense and Tannehill’s play were a surprise then you haven’t been watching them at all. That was actually the defense’s worst statistical performance but they kept the Rams out of the end zone several times. RT has gotten better every week and is poised and in control of the offense every game.

They had a 3-4 (in a row) play meltdown that gave the Texans a very short field and 21 points in game 1. They blew out the Raiders. They played two tough overtime games against the Jets and undefeated Cardinals and missed game wining field goals at the end of each of those games. The Dolphins are nowhere near as bad as everybody thought. Fans are truly optimistic for the first time in years, Except for the fluke season from Pennington.

They’re all pretty good, but there’s only one rookie QB with a winning record–Russell Wilson. Seahawks, baby!

You all know that the Jets are going to go in Foxboro and find a way to beat the Patriots next week.

And that Tebow will have a hand in the victory.

Because its meant to be.

we win out, and the Browns are 11-5 Yeah baby!!
Yes, I’m freakin kidding. It’s probably the only win we’ll get all year, but it was fun to watch.

Those blasted rookie QBs are messing up my team’s season. The Vikings 0-2 against Luck and RGIII, and 4-0 against the rest of the league.

I agree that this years Madden Curse is all focused on Ray Lewis who has done more to promate the game than Megatron, including commercials as well as a 3 minute video entry once you boot up the game. Unfortunately the curse continues in a big way and any player who associates themselves with Madden is asking for it, not just for them but their team considering no team with a cover athlete has ever won a super bowl the same year they were on the cover (perhaps Faulk but im not sure). Either way just stay away Tannehill.

What, no mention of the Giants dropping the hammer on the Niners? Is it true Mike Florio said Eli Manning would be irrelevant in the game? Is it also true Kurt Warner said Alex Smith was better than Eli Manning? LOL. Embarrassing all around.

“New England’s secondary just isn’t good enough, and if Bill Belichick can’t get it straightened out, I have a hard time seeing New England winning a playoff game against a good quarterback.”

==========================

2003 just called – they want their Spy cameras back.

Has Belichick ever “legitimately” beaten a “good quarterback” in a playoff game?? He hasn’t beaten manning since he quit cheating. Do you consider one win each over Flacco and Rivers as beating “good quarterbacks”? And Flacco had them beat – that was all on Lee Evans dropping a sure TD pass, and Cundiff missing a sure Field Goal.

My fear, as an Eagle fan, will be that a few years from now when the Eagles come out of their funk (minus one walrus or one qb or both) the Cowboys will also emerge from the depths they are in, the Giants will still be standing there and RG3 will have a few years under his belt.

Then again, that might be more interesting.

And Fitzgerald could have been best receiver of all time if he didn’t sign with cardinals

Also if anyone doubted that the NFC>AFC, that doubt should have been obliterated yesterday.

Why? I believe the NFC beat out the AFC this week by 1 game, 4-3 where is this domination?
