Let's Go Chiefs! - Week 5 NFL Games Thread

[BradyFTW!]

The 4p games are why I love the NFL more than any other sport. Don't have a dog in any of the fights. Had all 3 losers winning. And, didn't think the games would be all that competitive. Not so fast. Wrong on all 3 accounts. Max Hall over Drew Brees?? Yeah right. Titans aren't bad but Dallas looked impressive throttling Houston the other week and were at home. Oakland had lost 13 straight to SD. The NFL is really the only sport where I watch other teams play. I like baseball, hockey and basketball. But, when Sox, Bruins or Celtics aren't playing. I rarely watch other teams until the playoffs.

Same; last time I tried to watch a team other than the Red Sox play, I fell asleep in the 5th inning. I don't really care what happens in non-Patriots NFL games, but they usually find a way to be entertaining as hell. There's also nothing quite like watching Alex Smith or Jake Delhomme to make you appreciate how good Brady really is.

Re: F.U. Phillip Rivers

who cares oakland still only has one win. and i don't think the pats want a top 5 pick


pick #2 Ndamukong Suh, 12 million a year,


pick #3 Gerald McCoy, 11 million a year,


pick #4 Trent Williams, 10 million a year,


pick #5 Eric Berry, 10 million a year, highest-paid safety in NFL history.


only Ndamukong Suh, is makeing a impact in the NFL with he's 3 sacks, IMO only Robert Quinn, OLB is worth a top 5 pick in next years Draft if the pats can get him then he's worth the 10 or 11 million a year. if not trade down.

there will be a slotted rookie salary in 2012...it is the top discussion/roadblock for the next CBA...that is why BB wanted Oakland #1 in 2012. Rookies will not be making that much in there first contract.

Again, it was Davis who didn't want to give up OAK's second last year more than BB demanding this year's first.

That said, I can only hope that the Patriots ST can embarrass them even more thoroughly than Oakland's did.

As already pointed out they have two wins, but with the new CBA what top picks got in the past could be irrelevant. If the rookie cap goes in place, the top 5 picks might not get nearly as much as they got this year. In fact, their guaranteed money could be lower than the average anual salaries of the top five picks this year.

Between last week and this week, I'm really liking Schmitt. I wish the Pats would go and get a FB like him.

This game has shootout written all over it. Eagles are already missing Asante.

Ahh, that's right, thanks for the heads up. I always forget about the Patriots on the military reserve list. For anyone else who's confused as to how that all works, I just googled it and came up with this:

Wow what a block but McCoy looks great this year what a difference! What looked like a risky throw turns into a TD nice play..

 

[Sciz]

Just came to post that! I loved him coming out of WV. He could be the Pat Chung of the offense!

Hahaha, I remember when he was drafted, his profile was one of the funniest I'd ever seen. Between the mohawk, the highlights, and the announcers basically calling him out for being certifiably insane, you knew his career would be interesting.

EDIT: holy ****, I was trying to dig that up and I found this: http://www.dailymotion.com/video/xasmn3_hd-owen-schmitt-seattle-just-might_sport

Gets interesting at around 24 seconds. Not bad, but not for the totally squeamish, I guess. Schmitt is the man.

 

[Sciz]

Yeah, that love of contact cannot be taught. He adds a BA attitude whenever he plays

Reminds me of Jon Ritchie, who seemed to be always bleeding from his forehead.

So... are the 49ers allowed to admit that Alex Smith just sucks yet? To think that Aaron Rodgers fell into the 20s on his account...

 

[TriplecHamp]

Situational football...just another reason Im grateful for BB. Its pretty safe to assume that we won't see BJGE make a play like that.

 

[BradyFTW!]

And now it looks like Aaron Rodgers has a concussion:

Man, crap day for the Packers.

The NFC North is as open as any division right now

That fumble is going down as one of the stupidest plays of the year. I just could not believe my eyes.

 

[Kontradiction]

The 2010 NFC West may be a contender for the "Worst Division of All Time" award, if there was such a thing. I envy teams that have to play that division. Talk about four easy wins. To think, one of these teams is going to "earn" a playoff spot.

 

[sbpatfan]

Damn, looks like we might find out how good (or bad) the Dolphins really are. Coming off a bye against what will appear to be Green Bay's second string team.
