NFL Season 2011-2012

[XXXIV]

And somethings are always the same XXXIV vs the NFL Zebras.

Be vewy vewy quiet. Im hunting zebwas.



Meanwhile. The niners are up 14-0.

Lets go Saints. Stop playing like a pile of lambs.

[Rodster]

Too funny !

Anyways looks like the 9er's are back and are legit. I just heard Stephen Ross say, those could have been my Dolphins if Harbaugh was our Coach.

17-14 half. Pretty amazing that the Saints are only down three after four turnovers in the first half.

Lets see if the Niners get destroyed in the second half ala the Lions last week or if they keep their composure and gives us a game.

Hopefully the NFL will look to ban mid-season coach swaps. I think Josh McDaniel going back to NE just when they happened to play the Broncos should not be allowed. Gotta love Brady with the
"Josh has inside information".

NE is always looking for any edge.

Dont think it will matter as 1) Denver doesnt play an offense resembling anything they played and 2) The score will be 59 to 0.

You wanted a tight game in SF (never mind the bad pun) anyway you got one.

[Inuyasha]

NINERS!!!!!!! HELL YA!!!!! VERNON DAVIS ALL DAY!

[XXXIV]

WOW! again this week. Love the NFL show.

Vernon Davis the star of the show.

Niner D for all they did the first 56 minutes of the game so that it could happen.

Bottom line. Saints. No team that loses to these Rams should get to a super Bowl.

At least we will have one game today. Im pretty sure it will be movie time by half time of the Patriot game.

[ScoopBrady]

Tat game was nuts!h

Part of me feels pretty good for Alex Smith. The guy has had 7 coordinators and some hellish ups and (mostly) downs since being drafted. Hell, he was ready to be thrown out with the trash on a few occassions. He stepped up when they needed it. Some of the passes he threw today were SICK. The one he threw over the shoulder to Davis on their second to last drive (right before he ran the bootleg) was a thing of beauty and at nut-crunching time. And of course the final TD pass was tight. Tip of the cap to him

[RobVarak]

How shitty a coach was Mike Singletary? LOL

Agree. I was getting ready to post if this was the end of the Alex Smith era.

My gf asked if that was the same team Singletary coached about five minutes ago.

I guess.. I just don't understand why football teams have one guy drafting players and another guy coaching them, etc.. maybe the GM does all the leg work for the HC? I also laugh when teams like Dallas have an owner giving his input on team decisions.

It's the workload. Coaches in the NFL put in insane crazy hours, and not just the head coaches. The senior coaching staff will often get only four or five hours of sleep a night from Monday through Friday at the facility. It's not uncommon at all, and that's just doing the game preparation work. There just isn't time for the head coach to then also take command of the GM duties, which include, besides scouting college players as well as current NFL players, handling the salary cap, negotiating conract extensions for current players, and on and on.

There's just too much to do. Different organizations divide the labor differently, for sure. My understanding is that Fisher never wanted to draft Young in the first place, and that's led to the ultimate result of the team getting rid of both so many years later. I do know that as great as Joe Gibbs was, if it wasn't for the brilliance of Bobby Beatherd picking the players, heading up the draft, handling all the scouting etc, those Redskins teams would not have been nearly as successful, because once Beatherd left, the player acquisition side of things fell apart. Desmond Howard for your #1 pick, anyone? And the more recent Gibbs regime has also proven to be lackluster at best if not downright disastrous in terms of team building and player acquistion, at least on the college side.

So sometimes even a great coach needs a better GM selecting the players. But certainly when you have problems like they had in Tennessee, it's not good. On the other hand, Holmgren never set the world on fire in Seattle when he had full control.

There's no one correct formula, for sure, but there's no question that one man cannot effectively perform the massive task of game preparation on the coaching side and be competent in terms of player scouting and draft preparation. It takes a team of people in any case.

Makes sense Zeppo.

[MizzouRah]

I really hope Fisher doesn't really want Gregg Williams as his DC, that guy is HORRIBLE!

Phil Simms managed to almost immediately harsh my mellow from the first game. His idiocy is like an anti-enthusiasm ray.

Yep. He is dumber than a box of rocks.

This game will have me back trying to collect all the Skyrim achievements by half time. As much as it hurts to say, Brady is a bad man. A very bad man. Im starting to wonder if I was not being to kind to Denver with my 59-0 Patriots prediction.

Gotta love that NFL rule. It allows the NFL to do whatever they want with any catch or no catch.

I was thinking the same thing earlier

[dbdynsty25]

Jesus is off his game tonight.

[WillHunting]

Brady is anti-Tebow/Christ.

[Rodster]

Disagree!

Jesus is doing just fine.

He might have lost the team with poor man management and bad in-game decisions, but you have to admit that the team Harbaugh inherited is the team Singletary built. That's not a bunch of no good bozos in that locker room; he put together one heck of a group of quality character, team-oriented, hard working tough guys, and Harbaugh is reaping the benefits.

[Diablo25]

Tired of this. Not Tebow the football player...Tebow the prophet.
