The GBU presents: Grade your team for the 1st quarter

The decision wasn't bad until you take into account he rushed it and threw off his back foot.

If he isn't under duress and throws that ball, it's a long gain, possibly even a TD.

But he should have just eaten the ball and taken a sack. As soon as he released it, I knew it was trouble.

isnt that part of his so called charm? that favre-ian gun slingier mentality?

Yes, what initially made him so good was that "gunslinger" mentality, but in 2009, he reined that in and had career highs in everything except TDs.

He doesn't have to be Brett Favre Lite out there. And I've said for years he can't get away with the things Favre did because he simply does not have Favre's arm.

It's true what others have said. It's up to Garrett to tell him that shit won't fly anymore (and with the weapons he has, it shouldn't), but also up to Garrett to take the ball out of his hands when they have a 20+ point lead.

Garretts never been in a blow out as coach... maybe he doesnt know how to call a game with a big lead :shrugs:

Eagles: C-
They're not as bad as their 1-3 record indicates, and I fully expect them to rebound, but 1-3 is 1-3 and their D has been awful and so has their ball security. As crazy as it sounds, I still expect them to win 10 games. They are just too talented not to.

Bills: A
Would have been an A+ if they hadn't laid that egg in Cincinnati. Next week's game vs. Philly is tough for me. I'm a fan of both teams, but Philly needs it more. Philly simply can't stop the run and Fred Jackson has been a beast this season.

Keep it bookmarked for Thanksgiving day. Like I said, we'll see.

Oh snap. I'm neither a Lions nor Packers fan, but this thread has me fucking excited for that game! I'm already on the edge of my seat.

I hope something stupid doesn't happen like a blowout. I'd like to see a 35-38 point kinda game here.

Megatron had 2 catches for 25 yards going into the 4th quarter when the Packers were already up 24-0.
