FML, this has to be a windup surely

After last years shat I thought they would get someone decent!

So long as she strays away from anything new, which is just like the rest of the bland teen pop stuffing the charts these days..luckily, the Americans aren't refined in many things but musical tastes, they're not bad, even the Indianapolis natives.

Surprised we haven't been linked with Favre (or have we?), however Orlovsky showed that it isn't a complete and utter farce of a season, showing some fight....or at least that one drive, and last quarter.

Against arguably the worst pass defence in the NFL (granted injuries, etc). I think me and you could could throw for 200 yards against the Pats

Regardless of how bad the Patriots pass D is.....he did make some outstanding throws, most of which were right on the button!

Re: The All new NFL Chat thread including playoff talk : Wed Dec 07, 2011 1:56 pm  

Dan Orlovsky got 200+ of his passing yards on 3 drives (Colts 2nd drive of the game + the final 2) the whole Colts team managed to muster up 1 yard in the second quarter.

In the 4th quarter BB was just messing around really he had a safety and linebacker as 2 of his CBs and had a DE at DT and an ILB at DE. As well as playing soft zones because they were just eating the clock up by that point.

However his 2 passes to Garcon were pretty good.

It's been the case all season has that, give up a big drive early then give up nothing until the end of the game when the game is over...it's quite frustrating sometimes.

Although it is still a better D than what Green Bay have! (13 more yards per game but less points per game)

Word on the streets is that the Colts are going back to Cover 2 as a defence, with the idea of "it's better to give away 3 5 yard passes than one 30 yarder".

I like it, it worked for us before and I don't really know why we ever moved away from it!

Hopefully Caldwell goes and we start again next season. Jeff Fisher is apparently the rumoured new head coach.

I only saw the bits they showed on redzone(not much) but I'm sure Matthew Slater was playing D at one point again too

He is a great special teams player though so why not I guess

Just noticed we are on MNF this week. So basically C'Mon Man will be a 3-4 hour long special Looks like we will be starting our 3rd string at QB

Matthew Slater got the start at safety and played all but 3 snaps there in the game

Although I think he came out of college as a safety and started his pro career there before BB moved him to WR.

Re: The All new NFL Chat thread including playoff talk : Wed Dec 07, 2011 5:59 pm  

1 career catch for 46 yards against the Dolphins iirc, he's already done more for us than Ochodropo

Can't believe we released Taylor Price aswell, I heard good things about him but he obviously didn't kick on or has done something wrong.

We suck at drafting WR's
