adrian peterson is a fucking beast

his first steps from the handoff are quicker than a mothafucka

 

Final 41-34 San Fran

The Pats vs Niners game was crazy! Kaepernick beat Brady in his house. Wow.
And down 31-3...Brady almost pulled the comeback off, too.

 

The game wasn't even as close as the final score indicated. That's the scary part........lol.

That 98-yard interception made the difference in momentum. Instead of it being 10-7, it was 17-0.....

 

Yeah, he's a workhorse! My only fear with workhorses (overused running backs) is that their careers are often shortened. You can look at the history of RB's that were beasts, and you begin to realize that it's pretty much the norm to only last 5-7 years....

-Barry Sanders
-Ray Rice
-Emmitt Smith

....etc., etc., etc.

 

I know how you feel but you can't put it all on Lovie Smith, maybe OC Mike Tice perhaps. A rash of injuries at key positions isn’t the coaching staff’s fault. After this season Lovie should definitely be on the hot-seat because you all have a great nucleus of offensive talent for the first time like, ever. lol

With Jay Cutler having those two behemoths at WR, Devin Hester in the slot where he belongs, and an all-purpose RB in Matt Forte, I give y’all one more year to finally put something together before blowing the whole thing up and starting over.

And who would’ve ever thought that a Chicago Bears WR could catch over 100 passes in a year and do it effortlessly? Brandon Marshall might’ve been the best acquisition of the year.

What I wanna know is where the hell is Shea McClellin??? You can blame the hell out of the front-office for not getting any decent production out of your 1st round pick.

Yeah that was a helluva run by AP, but how bout that block by Jerome Simpson on #54 Lavonte David at the 47 yard-line? Sick!!!:smt005

My team (Jacksonville) is currently 2-and-fucking-12 right now getting ready to play a pissed-off New England team coming off a loss on Sunday night.

If it weren't for me being in the playoffs right now in fantasy football this would be a shitty year for me.

 

The Bears have many talented players which makes it so frustrating to see them lose so remarkably like they have been. And Brandon Marshall has been an amazing acquisition for the Bears. I just wish Cutler had a better offensive line to protect him so he can make the plays we know he's capable of making.

Not all of the blame goes on Lovie. But coaching plays a role in the fact that Cutler isn't getting the plays in a timely fashion, that our offensive line can't seem to make gaps for Forte to run or to protect our damn QB. And Cutler deserves some blame for not taking more initiative in getting plays when no receiver is open.

The Bears have a lot of problems to fix. I think maybe Mike Tice isn't the answer. I don't know how I feel about Lovie anymore. Maybe he's okay, maybe he needs to go? Something needs to give. There's no excuse for the way the Bears have been failing in December.

And injuries have taken their toll, for sure, but we have no depth to cover the injured players. Michael Bush was a great acquisition for Matt Forte, but I can't think of anyone else that can come in and take the reins for injured starters on our offense. Maybe Earl Bennett, but that's about it.

 

Bookworm, you ready for some avatar bets this Sunday? :smt025

 

Fair enough. But either way if the Bears are smart they’ll need to lock up Jay Cutler to a long-term contract once this season is over. Something about his smug "I don’t give a shit what you guys think about me" attitude just fits Chicago if you know what I mean. lol

 

Always with you. What do you want to bet?

LOL. That's a good observation. :smt023

BTW, Michael Bush is on season-ending IR now. :smt009

 

So sorry to hear that about Bush. He was a pretty decent insurance policy if Matt Forte ever got hurt. Well at least your team isn't 2-12 like my Jaguars.:|

Like I said earlier, If it weren't for fantasy football this would be a awful year for me right about now.

 

Report: Tebow will ask to be traded or released

http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2012/12/18/report-tebow-will-ask-to-be-traded-or-released/

 

I like the Jaguars, too.

That doesn't surprise me. He's been treated pretty poorly on the Jets. And for them to pass over him for the starter when he's the 2nd string (right?) would make me not want to stay on that team either.

 

Heres some even matchups....Bold all of your picks. I'll let you know if I like an opponent of your pick. Everyone else should get in on this too

NY G @ Baltimore

Buffalo @ Miami

Cinci @ Pittsburgh

New Orleans @ Dallas

St. Louis @ Tampa

San Fran @ Seattle

 

Okay there are my choices.

 

I know, right? I told people from the moment the Jets traded for Tebow that it was all gonna end badly. Not to mention the P.R. shit-storm all over the New York media right now.

I don't even feel sorry for the Jets because they brought it on themselves. smh

 

Give me Pittsburgh at home They looked good @ Dallas last week and you know Mike Tomlin will have em fired up.

Winner picks the loser's avatar for a week :smt077

 

Any Redskins fans in here? We are on task to possibly win the division! GO RG3!

 

So we're betting only on the Cincinnati/Pittsburgh game?

You're on. :smt023

 

That is all very true. They should've known better.

I read an article yesterday that basically stated that Tebow's time as a QB is finished.

That could very well be the case.

 

Fuck Big Ben :smt081

A deals a deal....but we're doin this again this Sunday. I want payback :smt033
