Week 10 Game Thread

[LuckyBen]

Sanders making catches LaFell can't.
 
Fuck the Broncos. Fuck the Raiders. Garbage game. It's over.

Manning for MVP! I'm just waiting for the additional two Td passes on 1st and goal.

 

[brandonchristensen]

I don't think it's a huge surprise that Sanders is better than Lafell.

Doesn't make me any happier.

 

[mauf]

Doesn't make me any happier.

Revis is better than Talib. It's a question of where you allocate your resources.

 

[shawnrbu]

Peyton on pace for another 400 yard, 4 TD game.  Yawn.

Somebody needs to apply Pitch F/X that Phil Dawson game-winning field goal

 

[RoyHobbs]

No, nobody likes "Mony Mony."

I love how Scott Hanson spills the league's secrets re extra commercials in nationally televised games.

I'm not sure it's a secret, though.

 

[dcmissle]

I am not a Giants rooter; I like it when Francesa is unhappy

But I'm happy watching Eli abuse the loudmouth punk secondary

 

[patinorange]

Nice job Oakland. Nice.

 

[dcmissle]

That was cute for a while, Oakland.

I'm figuring Pats need to run the table for HFA. I'm prepared to be pleasantly surprised about that, but coming to Fox for a playoff game ranks right up there with Ebola with the Broncos

 

[Jed Zeppelin]

Is Carr serious?

 

[radsoxfan]

That Carr pass and the lineman fumble was so Raiders it hurts. 

 

[mauf]

 
I'm not sure it's a secret, though.

Not a secret, but not something I've seen publicly acknowledged elsewhere.

 

[Morgan's Magic Snowplow]

I realize Carr has shown flashes this year with zero help but I really can't see him as a reason not to draft Mariota or Winston.

 

[johnmd20]

The Raiders are inspiring.

 

[Mystic Merlin]

Dunno how that's forward progress when Parker re-started and tried to go upfield.

 

[Gunfighter 09]

I realize Carr has shown flashes this year with zero help but I really can't see him as a reason not to draft Mariota or Winston.

 
 
I have no idea how you evaluate Carr in this pile of suck. Watch the Raiders offense on all 22 view, they are giving him no chance whatsoever. 

 

[patinorange]

The Raiders are inspiring.

Has anyone ever fired two head coaches in the same season?

 

[E5 Yaz]

Substitute "Texans" for "Raiders" and the parallels are sad

 

[nothumb]

seattle D really showing their classy attitudes here
 
wow, phantom hold will kill that drive

 

[Morgan's Magic Snowplow]

I hear you on that.  But the QB position is so important that if you have a chance to draft a guy who you really think has a truly elite ceiling (no idea whether the Raiders think that about Mariota or Winsont, but if that's the case) then I don't think you can say no.
 
Edit: I guess my point is that its hard to evaluate Carr, but if you're still uncertain about him (even if its a little unfair because of the aforementioned pile of suck), then you still draft a prospect like Mariota.  You only turn that opportunity down if you're sure you have "the guy" already.

 

[nothumb]

terrible call by coughlin there. HAVE to go for that.

 

[Dahabenzapple2]

terrible call by coughlin there. HAVE to go for that.

I don't even think he considered it

Too smart for Coughlin

 

[Gunfighter 09]

I guess the difference is that this Carr has not been hit much, compared to his brother. I just worry that by never letting him throw down the field they are doing just as effective of a job of ruining him. 

 

[shawnrbu]

Tom Coughlin trusts his defense.

You are justified to be worried

 

[Freddy Linn]

That Carr pass and the lineman fumble was so Raiders it hurts. 

 
So is throwing a challenge flag to review a turnover.

 

[mauf]

Noodle-armed deep ball from Peyton there.

 

[CaptainLaddie]

Oh look Peyton's taking deep shots up 24 points!  I'm sure the press won't accuse him of trying to run the score up!

 

[E5 Yaz]

Oh look Peyton's taking deep shots up 24 points!  I'm sure the press won't accuse him of trying to run the score up!

 
He's just taking what the defense gives him. /dungy

 

[Buster Olney the Lonely]

Why is Denver running up the score?!!!

 

[Morgan's Magic Snowplow]

This Rams team has turned into a pretty tough out.

 

[Gunfighter 09]

Oh look Peyton's taking deep shots up 24 points!  I'm sure the press won't accuse him of trying to run the score up!

 
 
DJ Haden has looked pretty good for a young guy, I don't mind him getting the work. Of course, I also wouldn't mind one of the Thomas's or Manning getting hurt here. 

 

[Time to Mo Vaughn]

Who is going to be the first media member to write about the Broncos running up the score?

 

[johnmd20]

MANNING RUNNING UP THE SCORE.
 
Oh wait, "Look at the brilliance of Peyton Manning."

 

[CaptainLaddie]

Who is going to be the first media member to write about the Broncos running up the score?

No one will.  No one.

 

[Ed Hillel]

Blocking is illegal now, too?

 

[Sportsbstn]

Why is Denver running up the score?!!!

 
Because Peyton can thren coordinate more celebrations

 

[Freddy Linn]

If I was his O line I would be pissed for having to pass block 45 times in three quarters in a game that is so clearly mismatched.

 

[Dahabenzapple2]

He's running up his stats. It's what he cares about the most.

Fuck Peyton Manning

 

[Ed Hillel]

Such an Eli throw.

 

[Jnai]

A+ Manning Face on that one.

 

[dcmissle]

Coughlin face!

 

[ilol@u]

Wasn't a bad throw. Jump ball to your #1 young superstar in the making in one-on-one coverage. 

 

[dcmissle]

Beckham tipped it toThomas.

 

[johnmd20]

Manning is out. You see, the DON'T run up the score. Frauds.

 

[Tony C]

Yeah, that's well put. Tough to pass judgment on Carr and the easy route would be to keep the faith and either trade the (presumed) #1 overall so can get some talent around Carr. But you make a convincing argument -- even if Carr is a B level QB, the difference between that an A level QB (assuming Mariota is judged to be that) is huge. More than worth a few extra picks.
 
Going to be a tough call.

 

[CaptainLaddie]

Palmer's hurt.

 

[Ed Hillel]

Uh ohhhhhhh
