Week 1 Running NFL Thread (Warren Moon edition)

Just got back from game . Jets offense clearly missed Faneca / Jones.

Play calling awful. Cromartie must have been thinking about alimony payments . He was picked on all night.


He has fast become one of those notorious NY Big bust free agents. He might never recover

 

Someone should have told Rivers that on the last three plays of the game he was about two big steps from the touchdown he so desperately wanted.

 

He had no chance in hell of running in the last play, 3 Chiefs were converging on him. @nd to last play, same thing.

 

I think it's about time for Rex Ryan to STFU and tried to coach for a change.

I've said from the start that all this Jets in the Super Bowl talk was bullshit and they were the most overrated team in football.
Their ofense is disgraceful. They are completely undisciplined -- 125 yards in penalties. Sanchez might be OK if they let him try to do anything other than handoff and throw 5 yard passes. The offensive line is mediocre at best. They destroyed their running game by letting Thomas Jones go and bringing in over the hill Ladanian (who was at least decent tonight). And how fucking awful is Antonio Cromartie.
They were lucky to back into the playoffs last year and will be lucky to go 8-8 this year.

 

He was right at the line of scrimmage both times and could at least have gotten a step or two, inside the five yard line. I don't think he'd have actually scored, but, especially one second and third down, it'd have been better than whatever half assed pass he threw.

 

It was just a strange offensive philosophy by the Jets.

The Ravens are vulnerable in the secondary. Foxworth's out for the season. Reed's on the PUP. Webb was inactive. Wilson is still learning the defense. Carr and Nakamura were playing a ton.

Yet I feel like the Jets didn't even try to beat the Ravens deep.

 

I really think that is part of the problem with Sanchez. They just won't let him do anything. You can't just run the ball and throw it short on the Ravens. You have to at least try to attack that secondary and the Jets refused to do it. Just a terrible offensive gameplan.

 

The Chiefs gave the Chargers nothing on that last play. Glad I stayed with it. Might have been the best game of the week.

Anyone know what is "new" about New Arrowhead?

 

He's not capable, at this point. He can't be trusted. He makes stupid mistakes . . . would be
like leaving a six-year-old alone with a rifle.

 

Money moved the line, from Falcons -2 1/2 to Falcons -1. People like to play Pittsburgh as home dogs, for good reason.

 

Such incisive commentary . . . when Jon's not kissing the ass of one player after another.

 

Past 10 years, only one team outside the top 10 markets (No. 18 STL) has won the World Series.
How many times must that be repeated before you catch on?
