Can't wait for tonight - massive game against the Chiefs. Win it and we should make the playoffs. We deserve it anyway.

Tebow apparently starting for the Broncos against Oakland tonight. Think I'll watch that one, interesting to see how he does

You have my full support fella. If you play like you did against the Chargers you'll muller them - with or without Cassell.

Even if Cassell plays there's no way he'll be 100%. They've been trying to teach him to throw without using his upper body which surely can't be that effective!

With regards to the reciever situation, I'd take Steve Smith over any of the players Bradford & McCoy have to throw to. 4.5 YPC is pretty decent (NFL.com has it as 4.3 YPC) which is tied for 12th but compared to their usual high standard and the calibre of player they have I think they have been poor. The most yards they have is Stewart on 531, when you consider our starter B-Jax has 541, probably the worst starting RB in the NFL, it shows. I'd also agree about Smith IF he was fit. He has been carrying injuries and not really totally on the ball. The point is the Panthers have zero outside of Smith, at least the others have better depth even if the #1 isn't better than Smith.

But Stewart has been injured and shared/shares time with Williams and Goodman. 1 TD and 7 int's is shocking.

As much as it pains me to say it, I think you have done remarkably well this season, those couple of games early in the season when Rogers choked are really hurting you at the moment. I'm guessing you'll be going RB in the draft.

Why thank you Mark!(Rodgers hasn't choked though)

I wouldn't go RB straight away. We have very good starters at virtually every position it is just injuries which have decimated us. We just need depth. Personally i'd take a OLB to partner The Claymaker or trade for/take a lineman to protect Rodgers. Those really are the only two positions we need to upgrade. If neither are available at our spot then i'd take BPA. Whether that is a WR to replace Driver eventually, a RB to go with Grant, or a top QB to backup Rodgers.

Yeah it is. The Panthers have been terrible this year in arguable the hardest decision in the NFL. 15 total TD's (14 on offence, 1 defensive) is shockingly bad.

That said it doesn't mean i'm wrong about Clausen. He showed at ND that he is a very capable QB in a pro-style system. He'll come good eventually.

I'm sure there was a time when Alex Smith was regarded as a better QB than Rodgers. It doesn't always stay that way!

Anyone watching sky? What do you reckon to redzone?

Re: The all new NFL Chat thread : Sun Dec 19, 2010 6:30 pm  

7-0 Lions in our game.

Were looking like a team with 10 starters out but I'd still be gutted if we lost to a team who has lost 26 straight on the road.

Re: The all new NFL Chat thread : Sun Dec 19, 2010 6:31 pm  

Boys are ripping it up. Inceptasaurus Rex is in form, and we're 10-0 up.

Seriously, where were this Dallas at the start of the season?

Re: The all new NFL Chat thread : Sun Dec 19, 2010 6:35 pm  

We are all over the Chiefs. Just need to get a TD on the board.
