NFL Week 8

Now Gruden’s trying to do Manfred Mann. The problem with MNF is there’s no radio available for alternate audio.

Fair enough, and I agree. He’s a serviceable NFL QB who, if he puts together a run in the playoffs like he has the last 3 games, he could win a Super Bowl. He won’t though.

He’s like that kind of stepchild… what was it?

You could stream one of the local stations. I have kiro running right now.

ANDY DALTON:
“And while the GINGER NINJA threw FIVE TDs, the poor, hapless Jets only passed for a mere 173 yards and 2 picks.”

JOE NAMATH:
Spins in grave

ANDREW LUCK
“Joe Namath isn’t dead.”

JOE FLACCO
“Well, his liver is.”
:smiley:

This one was pretty good too:

PHILIP RIVERS:
“Hey Brady. I see you’re dressed as the Gorton’s Fisherman for Halloween. I assume that’s because your Pats skewered the Dolphins yesterday?”

TOM BRADY
“What? No, I’m just wearing this rain slicker because Ryan Tannehill’s wife is a squirter.”

For You, I have no idea what that is (and may be hampered by Home Theatre config) but I’ll sure look into it, thanks.

It is the Seattle-based broadcast. The one sucky thing about radio + TV is the delay, which can be in excess of ten seconds either way (better if the radio is ahead, because then you know when to pay attention to the TV).

Gracias.

I bet it’s rowdy as hell in some St. Louis bars tonite. Always choice when you’ve got two local teams in the spotlight and playing well. Patrons heads and throats gonna be sore tomorrow.

Dup

If you told a random neophyte that the Seahawks were the best team in the NFC and then showed him that Monday Night game, he’d laugh in your face.

If you showed him the tape and told him the Rams had the 17th ranked defense in the league, he’d do the same thing. Even really good teams have bad weeks from time to time (and even bad teams have great ones).

Fun fact: the difference between the #31 scoring offense (Tampa) and #2 (Bears) is 16.1 points per game. The difference between the #2 scoring offense and #1 (Denver, obviously) is 12.5. That’s actually two fun facts, because who’d have thought the Bears had the #2 scoring offense?

Jacksonville (#32) is on pace to score 173 points this season. The Broncos already have 203 points off passing touchdowns alone (not including extra points), and 343 total. They’ve both played eight games. Hell, the Broncos have scored exactly half of the Jags’ total off extra points alone.

The Seahawks didn’t just look like they were having a bad game, they looked awful all night, and it’s not the first time they’ve played like shit and still won the game. When they weren’t being awful, they were being chickenshit dickfaces, also not the first time.

They’re still good, but anyone who thinks they’re unbeatable needs to put a down payment on this bridge I’m leasing…

Yeah, I don’t think the Seahawks, or Russel Wilson, look as good as I thought they would this season after last year.

When you can win a game on 135 yards of offense, more than half of which came on one play, you are either doing something right or Lady Luck (no relation to the Colts’ QB) is on your side.

Or the other team sucks.

All right Hamlet…tell me again how many average or “normal” RB’s make that play!

Ooof! Giovanni!

That run was extremely inconvenient and unfortunate for Hamlet. At least we can trust him to recant.

Andy Dalton, however, well, that’s a huge mess.
