Eagles
Pros:
Andy Reid is closer to getting fired

Cons:
Asomugha is incredibly overrated
The Eagles have the worst O-Line in the league


Bills
Pros:
They didn't play
No excuses from Mario Williams this week

Cons:
I couldn't switch the channel from the Eagles' game to the Bills' game without even remote hope the Bills' game would be entertaining.

 

[Price]

Pros-

We destroyed the Rams

Cons-

Nothing really

 

[Swarley]

Pros:
We're still leading the pack for the #1 overall pick in the '13 draft. We're only three games out of the division lead (LOL).

Cons:
We turned the ball over four times. We still haven't led a game in regulation. Jamaal Charles had under 10 yards rushing. Our o-line again amazes me with how bad they are.

 

[Saluki]

Pros:
6-1
Defense is balling out.
Brandon Marshall might be the best wr that the bears have ever had.

Cons:
O line played it's worst game of the season.

Took the offense way to long to goto the short passing game once they saw the offensive line was overmatched. Shouldn't have needed to let Cutler get sacked 6 times before we started running shorter passes

pros - richardson had well over 100 yards and looked good coming off his rib injury. defense played well against a decent SD offense that played terribly

cons - we won...no point in winning a random game here and there. they looked terrible on offense but im sure the blame will go on the weather. The rain didnt make players drop the ball or cause the retard clan calling the plays to run 1st run 2nd pass 3rd all game long

 

[mgoblue2290]

Pros:

We looked like the team did last year.
Stafford played well.
Titus stepped up.

Cons:

Penalties
Gave up a big play, but did respond well afterwards.

 

[St. Francisco]

mike smith has the most wins by any falcons head coach now

When I saw that flash across the screen, I thought it was the saddest stat I had ever heard. Guess the history of this franchise is a lot worse than I thought it was.

 

[FUSE]

Pros:
Offense is getting better with each week. Manning and the wrs looking much improved.
Loved the balanced attack tonight. Denver had 2 of their td drives be over 93 yards.

Defense did a fantastic job containing Brees.
Limited Saints to pretty much 7 points all game except for the garbage td late

Cons:
a few penalties and another fumble

 

[BigBucs]

Pros: Offense is starting to come together and develop chemistry. The coaches have really made a concerted effort to put Josh in a position to succeed.

Mike Williams is returning to his rookie form. Vincent Jackson has played a huge role in that drawing the double covg and Josh has thrown some beautiful balls capitalizing on that single covg.

Outside of a few plays the defense played well limiting the effectiveness of Minnesota play makers.

Cons: Didnt really like the play calling on that long drive we put together. We ran about 7 draw plays, all were stuffed. Just so happen Josh was able to convert on 5 third and longs. I know we were holding a multiple possession lead but be a little less predictable in the play calling and go for the kill. Playing not to lose will bite you in the ass more often than not.

 

[Point Blank]

Good lord, too early for all that. We gotta win a Playoffs game first.

 

[kmanharris]

Pros:

-Romo responded after those 3 first quarter INTs. That one INT by JPP was more an awesome play than an awful throw but still an INT none the less.

-This defense is for real. Even without Sean Lee they played lights out, especially for the position they were put in all game.

- Witten and Austin. Two of the best performances I have ever personally seen. That one handed catch by Witten was phenomenal.

Cons:

-Romo. Started out just awful. Fans were booing him and Aikman stated that Kyle Orton should probably get some playing time. Fuck that though.

-Dez Bryant in the mother fucking return game. I don't care if he breaks one off 1 out of every 25 times. He should not be returning kicks. Period.

-Felix Jones. Fuck you.

-Dez's massive hands. Fuck you. Literally inches away from winning a game we had no business winning and we lost because your FINGERS touched out of bounds first. As a Dallas fan, we have lost in some bizarre ways but this one might take the cake.

 

[Obst]

Pros:

- Gabbert had his first 300 yard passing game of his career.

- Cecil Shorts is looking like a legit WR after a miserable rookie season

- Andre Branch was getting good pressure on Rodgers all game and got a sack and forced fumble.

- The Defense held Aaron Rodgers to under 200 yards passing

Cons:

- We are 1-6

- Justin Blackmon still looks lost running routes

- The receivers still drop a ton of catch-able balls, including one in the endzone that Mike Thomas dropped.

 

[Woy]

Pros
- Passing game looked in sync, besides the last drive. Slant route was there most of the day, Kendall Wright ran some good routes and made an outstanding catch for a TD and there wasn't any drops minus one by Nate.
- Chris Johnson ran well again. :cj2k:
- Derrick Morgan got a lot of pressure on Luck.

Cons
- We were screwed by the refs. No excuse to not review a fumble in the Colts' end with :18 left and the game tied, especially since the whistle didn't blow till after the ball was recovered and touched down.
- Defense is still shit. #FireJerryGray
- Way too many mistakes that made the game there for the taking.

Football sucks.

 

[Leftwich]

Jags

Pros:

Gabbert looked really good for the first time in his career.
Cecil Shorts has taken the #1 Receiver spot and looks like he'll keep it
Blackmon looked a lot better than he did before
Defense looked a lot better

Cons

Gabbert has this stupid problem of not knowing where the first down line is when throwing to receivers
Rashad Jennings is no MJD
Blackmon is still really raw
Still don't look like a good team

 

[ralaw]

Cecil Shorts has taken the #1 Receiver spot and looks like he'll keep it

Shouldn't that be a con?

 

[ThunderHorse]

Pros -

Indy held Johnson in Check, and they usually do. This guy simply does not have big days against Indianapolis. This is interesting because with such a historically BAD run defense Johnson has to be the least successful back in our division against Indianapolis. It seems like Jones Drew and Foster both run wild on Indianapolis whenever they meet but Chris Johnson doesn't usually have that success. You could tell the Colt's gameplan was to make Tennessee beat them through the air, They played the run pretty hard, smacked Chris Johnson around a few times, and left a lot of single coverage over the top.

Running game looked a little better towards the end of the game. Indianapolis still doesn't have a RB who strikes fear into anyone but I think Bruce Arians is starting to figure out how best to use his talent at the RB position. Brown returned today and looked good, Delone Carter looked solid in short yardage, and Vick Ballard is clearly starting to get accustomed to the speed of the game, in three weeks his field vision has improved dramatically.

Tight ends looked good today, Dwayne Allen is a grown man, Fleener seems to be picking up the speed of the game as well, hopefully he's able to return to play after the shoulder injury towards the end of the game.

Luck looked good for a rookie. One thing about the kid is that you know you're never out of the game, he seems to be able to put together those late game important drives, my confidence in his deep ball has waned a little but I think Tennessee played it pretty tight yesterday. On his endzone INT to Michael Griffin Luck and Wayne clearly failed to communicate as Luck tried to throw something like a skinny post instead of the fade that Wayne ran. I don't like Luck's INT/TD ratio this season but he's a rookie.

Reggie Wayne is that dude.

Cons-

Special teams still leave a lot to be desired. Yesterday I saw a T.Y. Hilton field a punt with actual room to run (probably the first time any colt return man has had that much room in 10 years) and he maybe went for 8 yards before falling on his face. His failure to field that punt late at in game was potential damning.

Offensive line play was pretty shaky. seemed like they could get enough push in the run game, especially late in the game with the interior line, but the pass blocking was terrible, and Andrew Luck had to handle quite a bit of pressure. seemed like there was always someone running up on Luck's back but give the kid credit he handles the pressure pretty damn well.

Jerraud Powers needs to play better if he wants to get paid next year or he may end up stuck in Indianapolis.

Mwelde Moore is the worst rb on the active roster and somehow he still gets snaps over Delone Carter.

 

[St. Francisco]

Pros:

-Alex Smith was 18 of 19 for 232 yards and three touchdowns, a fantastic bounceback performance after struggling against the Giants two weeks ago.

-Teams have begun to prove effective in shutting down Vernon Davis, with the side effect of opening up opportunities for everyone else. Crabs had five catches for 72 yards and a score, and Moss had that magnificent 47-yard TD catch. Walker and Manningham got involved too, I love all of the weapons available to Smith through the air.

-Not the most impressive game from Gore and Hunter, but they did their part, averaging nearly 4 yards per carry and combining for 100 yards.

-Four sacks from the defense, no touchdowns allowed for the fourth time in the last five games, and a grand total of SEVEN rushing yards allowed.


Cons:

-I was working, so I didn't get to watch the game.

-We were amazing at generating turnovers last season, but that seems to have slowed down quite a bit...I'd like to see that pick back up.

-The o-line allowed four sacks. They're considered one of the best o-lines in the NFL right now, but could certainly stand to get better in pass protection.
