2011-2012 NFL Season Thread

[RossValoryRocks]

I can care-less what you just said because nobody even gave Pittsburgh to be in it! You seriously give no credit to Pittsburgh's defense at all? Going up against the league's most potent offense and holding them to not only 17 points, but Brady under 200 yards passing

You're giving Pittsburgh's defense FAR too much credit. The team deserves credit for winning a game, but their defense wasn't the factor you think they were. The reality is that Pittsburgh's offense kept the ball out of Brady's hands (and good for them). They had the ball twice as long as New England had the ball. New England may have had some three and outs, but it's not like they didn't move the ball at all. Brady had a higher completion percentage than Ben, just as many TD's and one fewer pick! The story in this game was the Steelers keeping their offense on the field and New England's secondary showing that they are just plain fucking AWFUL. New England should absolutely NOT be the favorite to win any Super Bowl, because that defense just won't cut it. That said, the AFC is really full of "four seed" teams. There are no teams in the AFC that are close to great, and most are just okay. Pittsburgh is the current number one seed and they almost lost to the Colts!

Dude...it never fails with you...you are NOT objective when it comes to the Steelers, or Pats...put them both together in a game and you are just fail at the objectivity thing.

If the Pats would have won you would have come in here chirping about how GOOD the Pats are and how TERRIBLE the Steelers are...but the Steelers won, and they are STILL terrible...and just got lucky or some such.

That being said, I didn't think they Steelers were going to win today...and they did get lucky...The Steelers keep working it...getting a little (sometimes very little) better each week...and are not nearly the putrid team they were against Baltimore to start the season.

Lets get real. The Steelers lost 7 turnovers in that Baltimore game. They didn't even have a prayer or chance committing seven turnovers. Baltimore's defense IS tough as fuck though and I worry about Ben's safety back there but it looks like we're content in picking teams apart. I expected more turnovers today or against the Ravens. Even though the Steelers held Brady in check, the turnovers didn't come so lets hope we save it all for Flaccid next week. I'm on document in saying that the Steelers will NOT look that bad the rest of the season after the week 1 loss and the Ravens won't look that good. Rings true heading into our second matchup. Hope Woodley's okay with that hammy, the Steelers are very thin at linebacker. Harrison may be back.

You're an idiot! First off, dickwad, I am very objective about all NFL teams. I have teams I like and teams I don't like. That doesn't change what my eyes tell me about whether a team is good, bad, or ugly! I never claimed the Patriots were a juggernaut. I've consistently said the entire season that their defense is fucking AWFUL. In fact, I'm not sure that I've seen a worse defense in decades. If that's not objective, I don't know what is. The Steelers record was compiled against the little sisters of the poor. That is a fact...not an opinion. If you don't believe me, I invite you to check the win/loss record of the Steelers opponents before yesterday's game. I never said that the Steelers didn't deserve to win the game. I said that in my opinion, their defense wasn't the reason. The fact that they had possession of the ball for 40 minutes out of a 60 minute game was the reason they won. I never claimed the Patriots were screwed out of a victory. The reality is that the Patriots played as bad of a game as I've seen them play in a long time, and still had a chance to win the game. I thought they should have lost by 4 TD's, based on their awful performance.

Wow...a little hostile there aren't we?

You aren't objective dude...admit it, its ok...I am pretty not objective too sometimes when it comes to the Steelers...I could go back through all the NFL threads and show you, if I had the time to do so.

It's ok man, it's had to set aside prejudices. Do it an you will feel better!

That's right. I believe you said the Steelers lose against the Pats because they weren't battle tested. Now that they hold Brady to under 200 yards passing, their whole offense to just a little over 200 yards sacked the unsackable 3 times, & held N.E to convert just 3 out of 10 third down conversions, you STILL aren't sold on the Steelers and they STILL are a bad football team. Just like they were a bad football team in '08 and '10. The Steelers aren't a bad team. In fact, their the most resilient out of any team. They just don't win pretty but I can understand how you separate good and bad judging by seeing how N.E crushed teams for all those years clouds the judgment of what's good and what's bad.

The fact that they had possession of the ball for 40 minutes out of a 60 minute game was the reason they won.

And that's not a sign of good football? Having the ball, controlling the clock on offense, gaining yards and putting up points? Then coming out on defense and getting off the field when need be? TEAM effort. Something NO OTHER team this season did to the Patriots, regardless of how bad their defense is. Since when does Brady need ANY time to warmup at any time? The Steelers even lost the turnover battle AGAIN (0-1) and beat one of the most potent offense's in the game. The Patriots offense doesn't need any time to get going. They are a very well oiled machine and score quickly, and flawlessly. When Brady WAS on the field, the production was absolute shit. Credit Steelers defense for that because just like you said, the game was still in N.E's grasp! As for how the game went, well, how does it feel? That's what you've been watching on the OPPOSITE side of the ball and that's how N.E has won this whole decade. Doesn't feel too good, does it? Taste of your own medicine. You just got uh.. Patrioted

[Enigma869]

That's right. I believe you said the Steelers lose against the Pats because they weren't battle tested.

Right, and you predicted Shittsburgh would lose too. What's your point?

Now that they sacked the unsackable 3 times
More stupid shit made up in your mind not based on anything factual. Now let's talk about reality. Brady has only been sacked fewer than 20 times TWICE, so that is hardly "unsackable"! The guy averages being sacked 25.8 times per season. I know that you believe The Rapist is the only NFL QB who ever gets sacked, due to an inferior line, but it's simply not reality.

you STILL aren't sold on the Steelers and they STILL are a bad football team.

I never said that they were a bad football team. I said that I wasn't sold on their record, given the teams they had played. If you think that statement is so outrageous, you don't know half as much football as you claim to. As of now, the Steelers are the best team in the AFC on October 31st. That an seventy five cents will buy you a newspaper! Get back to me in February.

As for how the game went, well, how does it feel? That's what you've been watching on the OPPOSITE side of the ball and that's how N.E has won this whole decade. Doesn't feel too good, does it? Taste of your own medicine. You just got uh.. Patrioted

What are you fucking 12 with this shit? Grow the fuck up dude. At the end of the day, I promise you that I don't lose any sleep when the Patriots lose a football game. Unlike you with the Steelers, you've NEVER once heard me refer to the Patriots as "We". It's a week to week thing in the NFL, and just because the Steelers beat the Patriots doesn't mean that I'm ready to annoint them as the team to beat. Although you meatheads in Shitsburgh are celebrating today like you just won the Super Bowl, it doesn't change the fact that all the Steelers did yesterday was win a regular season game in October. In the grand scheme of things, it doesn't mean that much. As I said previously, it's wide open in the AFC and there isn't a team I've watched this season who can't be beat by the Rams like the Saints were yesterday!

[Yoda]

But I guess we both had sucky days today!

Right, but the difference is that you've had a sucky couple of decades!

Yes! This is true!

[YoungJRNY]

Right, and you predicted Shittsburgh would lose too. What's your point?

Shitsburgh? And I'm the one acting like I'm 12? Lmao. Nice one, dude, my 5 year old nephew can come up with something better than Shitsburgh. Anyway, I picked against them because they needed to prove they can beat the elite. The Patriots are elite in the NFL and they went out and did it, and did it in a dominating way. This comes AFTER the fact you said the Steelers weren't battle tested and they STILL aren't the team to beat in the AFC As much of a great football fan you claim to be, your hate certainly outweighs the objective side when it comes to the Steelers. You just use insults to cover it up I can barely type the word "Steele--" and you're all over it 100 times out of 100!

More stupid shit made up in your mind not based on anything factual. Now let's talk about reality. Brady has only been sacked fewer than 20 times TWICE, so that is hardly "unsackable"! The guy averages being sacked 25.8 times per season. I know that you believe The Rapist is the only NFL QB who ever gets sacked, due to an inferior line, but it's simply not reality.

Every QB gets sacked but judging by how often Brady drops back to pass, he hardly gets takin down when figuring in percentages. Regardless, the Steelers haven't even come C-L-O-S-E to sacking Brady over this entire decade. In the Steelers world, Brady was unsackable and we took his ass down 3 times.

I never said that they were a bad football team. I said that I wasn't sold on their record, given the teams they had played.

You JUST said this yesterday!:

I just don't have a clue about that team, given they are current a number 2 seed in the entire conference. This much I'm sure of...they aren't that good, but the AFC is WIDE

Keep back peddling, Johnny B.

If you think that statement is so outrageous, you don't know half as much football as you claim to.

Haha, okay. You said the Steelers weren't battle tested and weren't giving them any credit until they beat somebody in this league judging by their sister of the corn schedule. They do that, dominate your Patriots and you still reek of hate.

What are you fucking 12 with this shit? Grow the fuck up dude. At the end of the day, I promise you that I don't lose any sleep when the Patriots lose a football game. Unlike you with the Steelers, you've NEVER once heard me refer to the Patriots as "We". It's a week to week thing in the NFL, and just because the Steelers beat the Patriots doesn't mean that I'm ready to annoint them as the team to beat.

Sniff sniff, I smell bullshit! You claim to eat & breathe sports, Patriots football, Red Sox baseball, Celtics basketball. You spend countless number of hours watching sports and your favorite teams and got one of the most HOSTILE arguing styles I've ever seen when it comes to debate about sports. There's no doubt in my mind you care MUCH more than you want people to believe or else you wouldn't throw out even PERSONAL insults to your debater. Fact Finder comes in and is civil. Matt is civil, hell sometimes even S2M is. You're hostile. Don't act like you don't care because you do or else you wouldn't be so fired up about the conversation You don't fool me, JFB, but I like that about you.

Although you meatheads in Shitsburgh are celebrating today like you just won the Super Bowl, it doesn't change the fact that all the Steelers did yesterday was win a regular season game in October. In the grand scheme of things, it doesn't mean that much.

Huh? Who said this was our Super Bowl? I've said NUMEROUS times that this Patriots game isn't even NEAR as close as Baltimore next week. I'm documented in saying that early this week, MULTIPLE times. I've said time and time again the real test is against Baltimore AND Baltimore IS the must- win (something you argued with me on facebook, go figure) so I assure you, even though it was a BLAST and we finally got the monkey off our back in beating New England, we already forgot about you Cheats. Bring on Baltimore!

[YoungJRNY]

I give you a lot of shit, but you are a classy dude...it was great meeting you in Pitt. I wish I had the funds to be at the game. Next time.

It's all in fun dude. Football is my passion and I had a blast talking football when we met. I don't let my emotions get ahold of me, I've been in multiple heated discussions before face to face with people that end in a smile because I can talk about it ALL day. Next time, AFC Champ, Heinz Field, we'll get you a ticket! haha.

[YoungJRNY]

YoungJRNY said:

I'm a fucking Bengals fan, I have no choice...


see me in the Obama thread for uncivilness.

You mean the a Bengals team that is rejuvenated and sitting in second place at 5-2 in the AFC North who has a pretty stout defense? Oh wait, they aren't battle tested.

[RedWingFan]

Jackson was receivers coach here while Carson was here and Jackson also helped recruit him to USC, so they go back aways. Palmer has been working out all along out in Cali with Ken O'brien so he's not out of shape. With KC coming up this week and then a bye, he'll have 3 weeks to get up to snuff before the final 9 game stretch. PLUS THERE'S NO CHAD OR T.O. WHO CARSON LOATHED! Carson wanted to win which is why he quit on us. Not a good trait IMO, but the man stood by his word, "Trade me or I retire. I'd think that 10 months off might have done his body some good. We'll see.

Working out to stay in shape and actually playing the game are two vastly different animals.

Oh I agree, but the dude isn't going to forget all he learned in the last 12 years at USC and in Cincy. I also just read that his old buddy T.J. Houshmanzada was working out with him as well. I had forgot about T.J., I'm surprised he isn't still playing. RWF do the Raiders need any receivers?

Palmer ’sharp,’ Sheppard ready to go, Houshmandzadeh on deck

By Steve Corkran
Monday, October 31st, 2011 at 5:23 pm in Oakland Raiders.


Quarterback Carson Palmer is up to speed, cornerback Lito Sheppard is prepared to play Sunday and wide receiver T.J. Houshmandzadeh is awaiting his shot at joining the fray as the Raiders embark upon a nine-game run after the bye week.

“It was good to see my players back out there today, good to get back out working,” coach Hue Jackson in reference to the Raiders first practice after a four-day break during the bye week. “Obviously, there are no more byes, no more anything. We got to go now.”


With that in mind, Jackson knows that he can’t wait around forever for cornerbacks Chris Johnson and Chimdi Chekwa to recover from hamstring injuries, and Darrius Heyward-Bey is the only wide receiver who has produced on a consistent level this season.


So, Jackson signed off on the addition of veteran Sheppard on Monday and a scheduled work out for veteran Houshmandzadeh on Tuesday.

JaMarcus Russell must look inward, not outward
Scott Ostler
Sunday, October 30, 2011

JaMarcus Russell, in a Sports Illustrated article, comes off as a likable chap, victim of the cruelty and insensitivity of fans and media.

I am quoted in the article, although not by name. My line: "Russell has become the poster dude for lethargy, a condition waiting to be clinically approved."

The SI author, the very enterprising (seriously) L. Jon Wertheim, writes that Russell's fall "has been accompanied by a level of glee that verges on the creepy." Also that Russell "has become a vessel for every disgruntled fan's bile."

I sang in that creepy glee club. Much of what I believe to be good in sports - character, teamwork, hard work, sacrifice, dedication, love of the game - was mocked by JaMarcus Russell. So I was gleeful when his open disdain for those things finally was rewarded by the Raiders when they cut him.

Russell got all the bile and creepy glee the old-fashioned way. He earned it.

Among items not included in the article: the time coaches suspected Russell was not studying the game-plan DVDs they gave him each week, so they sent him home with a blank DVD. The next day, they asked Russell what he thought of the game plan. He said it looked good to him.

I have not seen an athlete systematically undermine a team the way Russell did the Raiders. Much blame goes to Al Davis as enabler. But that doesn't excuse what Russell did.

I'm willing to let sleeping dogs lie, but Russell opened up to SI. He blamed his problems on, among other things, sleep apnea, and the insensitivity of teammates and coaches. (Note: Sleep apnea can be caused or exacerbated by excess weight.)

In pro sports, athletes who cherish winning over all else subscribe to an old saying, "If you ain't cheatin', you ain't tryin.' "

Your creepy columnist is hereby inventing a new saying, in honor of Russell:

If you ain't tryin', you're cheatin'.

[YoungJRNY]

First time I've seen that. San Diego getting closer into FG range with 30 seconds left, all they have to do is protect the ball with ball security and they fumble the snap and a victory along with it. Chiefs convert a 3rd and 14 in O.T and put a fork in the Chargers. As incredible numbers Rivers can put up, he's been less than mediocre this season. 2 interceptions and the fumbled snap on the night. K.C's Christmas can a month early.

[Ehwmatt]

Who would have thought KC could bounce back like this? Still don't think they're that great, but nice resolve after those brutal early losses to Buf and Detroit

He's got Pittsburgh a little too high on the list and the 49ers should definitely move up, but I don't think there's a whole lot of difference between them and the Saints. The Saints certainly had a bad week against the Rams but I don't think it's indicative necessarily of the kind of team they are.

[Enigma869]

Shocking. I didn't see that coming!

While I don't disagree with you, at all, it still doesn't change the fact that the 49'ers keep winning and the Saints got run off the field by a team who hadn't beat anyone. Do I think it would happen if they met again? No! I'm not even suggesting that the Niners are a better team than the Saints are, because it's the NFL and anything can and will happen. That said, on November 1st, with the most recent results in, there is absolutely ZERO reason to rank the Saints ahead of the 49'ers. It's precisely why you never see me doing "team rankings". They mean absolutely NOTHING...especially on November 1st! I've seen number one seeded teams after the first half not even make the playoffs.

[Enigma869]

He's got Pittsburgh a little too high on the list

By the way, given the performance that I just watched on Sunday, he has the Patriots too high also! No team with the absolute worst defense in the NFL deserves to be talked about as an "elite" NFL team.

It's all flow and who drops within their givin spots from the week before. I had the New Orleans Saints and New England Patriots at #2 for most of the season! They dropped a significant 5 spots within the rankings and New England dropped 2. I had Pittsburgh at 5 and with them dominating the Patriots at home, they deserve the #2 spot for the time being in the NFL (#1 seed in the AFC Conference.) Detroit also went a couple spots up in the rankings but judging how I don't consider San Francisco a top contender just yet in a pathetic division, I believe the teams I ranked ahead of them have a better overall team at the moment but they surely are moving up and on the radar, but that's how I see it.

[YoungJRNY]

He's got Pittsburgh a little too high on the list

Shocking. I didn't see that coming!

By the way, given the performance that I just watched on Sunday, he has the Patriots too high also!

NFL's power rankings agree with me:

Super Bowl XLV combatants now 1-2 in latest rankings

The Pittsburgh Steelers' 25-17 victory over the New England Patriots and the St. Louis Rams' 31-21 stunner over the New Orleans Saints bumped down two teams that had figured in the top 3 in most of our polls, lifting the Steelers to No. 2 for their highest ranking of the season. Once again all nine of our experts voted the Green Bay Packers No. 1.

As far as the 9'ers, givin their pathetic division their in, I'm not 100% sold on them just yet. Do they deserve to be higher on the list? Of course, but I believe there are better teams overall in the NFL at the moment but they are certainly on the radar. They also have N.E at #5 and I have them at #4. They also have Baltimore ranked #3 losing to the Jags last week and almost blowing it against the Cards on Sunday! People see things differently sometimes. John needs to chill the fuck out, this is just all for fun and just the way I'd rank them personally, not necc who beat who and what record is what. CHILL!

[YoungJRNY]

The Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, citing a team source, reported that Woodley's hamstring injury is "not good" and he will miss Sunday night's game vs. Baltimore and likely the next game against the Cincinnati Bengals. The newspaper reported that he might be able to return after the team's Nov. 20 bye.

The Steelers also might be without starting linebackers James Harrison and James Farrior versus the Ravens.

Harrison announced on his Twitter account: "Saw the doctor today. Looks like I won't be playing this weekend but at least I'm cleared for practice."

Farrior is expected to miss as much as a month with a calf injury, the Post-Gazette has reported.

Woodley could play. Good thing the game is Sunday night because he has an entire week plus the entire day to get his hamstring worked. Hamstrings are a bitch but there's still a shot he could suite up. The Steelers linebacking core is just beat up, very black and blue bunch. Woodley could be out, Harrison is out, Farrior is out, Harrison's backup Jason Worlids could be out still with a quad so that'll leave the Steelers either to sign a backer off waivers this week or go with a practice squad player, Chris Carter who replaced Woodley against the Cheats. Either way, this Steelers team wins YEARLY with more than 6 injuries to their starting units whether it be the o-line or defense so I'm not worried. We are deep. Tomlin says Pittsburgh could add in a base 4-3 for this one. Could get interesting.
