NFL Week 11

Jimmy Clausen could have done that better.

 

Funny you should say that. On Friday it hit me that there must have been an NFL game the night before. I had no idea who even played. Had to check in at NFL.com to see what I might have missed.

 

And THAT was the opposite of whatever a RickStaingasm is.

 

There was a very tiny window there, but it was there, and 2012 Cutler puts it there almost every time. 2014 Cutler underthrows it by five yards.

 

Jimmy Clausen definitely could have done that.

 

Say what you will, but the Bears went from down, 10-0, to up, 14-10, since Cutler actually showed a little bit of fire.

 

The Broncos still cannot run, and their secondary is getting dissected by Shaun Hill.

 

Belichick was on to something, again. Ryan Mallett looks like he can play.

 

Admittedly, I can be a bit of a Manning apologist, but I think it's far more likely that his receiver wasn't where he was supposed to be. Beckham has been strong since coming back from injury, but he's been the only receiver worth a shit on this team.

Randle can't catch anything that comes his way and seems to be regressing, and Beckham is still a rookie who had no training camp and missed six games to start the season. It's not a stretch to think he maybe hasn't fully grasped his route tree just yet.

I could be wrong, but I'm going to assume that Manning, whose entire life has been pretty much devoted to the position of QB, understands the offense.

 

Assuming we're talking about the second INT, it looked like he expected the WR to run a different route than he did. No idea whose fault it was. But for some reason I find myself assuming the WR probably screwed it up.

 

Wow. McLeod just blasted Emmanuel Sanders. I'd be surprised if Sanders is not done for the game with a concussion.
