NFL Week 12 Running Thread

agree

 

Self-inflicted? The fans, organization and media have all clamored for Cutler since the moment the Broncos drafted him. Plummer wouldn't be human if it didn't affect him.

 

humans do have emotions

 

Barber's a phony. He's a me-first guy. Or don't you remember him ripping into the coaching staff following the playoff loss to Carolina?

 

yeah, it was a shock

 

The Lions won't win this game. They are without their top two defensive tackles again. Kevin Jones may not play with a bum ankle (meaning they will have no running game).

On the bright side (or is it dark side), Mike Williams may actually see the field this week.

You used to be able to count on the Lions playing well on Thanksgiving, but the last few years, they've done almost nothing.

 

Ok, FantasyAlliance, you make some good points. But what's the deal with Tiki telling Giants coaches during the game to put in Jacobs in a certain situation? WTF is that?

I don't like Tiki - I think he's a fake, over - smiling guy who's in full 'set - up my post - football career' mode, but I can see what you're saying. But the Jacobs stuff seems over the line. 'Coach Tiki,' IMO, needs a big dose of STFU right about now. That team seems on the verge of breaking apart; Tiki could use his leadership skills to keep it from sinking.

Maybe that's what his 'give me the ball' comments were about. That is, let me take the pressure off of Eli. I could see that. But chill on being the O - coordinator, Tiki. Smile more, talk less.

 

I can agree with that point. But to me, you suck it up. Make plays. Stop overthinking.

 

Miami got lucky last week, and I bet they're looking ahead to the Jags on Dec. 3. I smell upset (or is it turkey?)
If Harrington plays half as well as Bob Griese did on T-giving 1977 (against the Cards), I'd be thrilled.
BTW: Jason Taylor = Def. MVP.

 

Wow, Harrington just stuck it to the Lions.

 

Romo just hit TO in the wrong spot ... his hands. Touchdown dropped, Owens down and appears injured. Probably a bruised ego.

 

14-7, Cowpokes.

I don't think a QB has swept into this league with such sudden feel-good success since Kurt Warner came out of the gate like he did.
