NFL Week 9 Running Thread

Why isn't Vick dominating the suckass Detroit Lions?

Receivers dropping balls and bad pass protection.

I should have known, everyone sucks but Vick.

Pretty much

Joey Harrington Beats the Bears, Vick gets crushed by his own team in a loss to Detroit

1) his arm isn't weak.

Vince Young is horrible. A fourth-round draft pick from East Carolina (David Garrard) is out-classing him.

i'm sure young will look a little better in his fifth nfl season.

Well, they can't dumb the offense down enough for him. He's slow (which makes me realized the USC and Michigan defenses he beat in his last two bowl games were overrated) and he's got a weak arm. Would any coach or GM want to look at this crap for the five years it will take to get him to the mediocre level?

1) young doesn't have a weak arm.
2) he will likely have a lot of games like this. he really has no business starting this season.
3) the jags d is good, if at times inconsistent.
4) he's helped the titans to two wins this season, and put a scare into the colts. he has a long way to go, but he's a work in progress.

young deserves the same consideration that reggie bush and leinart get, because they also have been equally horrible this season.

If you think Vince Young has a strong arm, you probably think Tim Wakefield is a power pitcher. He short-arms everything, and leads the league in ground balls.
Watch a game once in awhile.

sounds like an accuracy-mechanics issue, to me. i've watched a lot of young. rip him for his reads, his accuracy and his mechanics. arm strength is not a problem. but based on your previous obsvervations of being wowed by a fifth-year player, i guess i can't expect you to know what you're talking about.

I'm far from being wowed by David Garrard. But in the same game as Vince Young, he's looking like Marino.
Through three quarters, Young's QB rating is 9.7 (not a misprint). Garrard is 124.4.
Vince Young sucks out loud. If he ever leads a team to the playoffs or makes all-pro, I'll gladly eat the words but this is looking like the worst draft pick since Sam Bowie instead of Michael Jordan.

or, while we're overreacting, is it reggie bush? so far against the bucs: 11 carries, minus-5 yards ...

Bush is Rocket Ismail or Desmond Howard

Matt Leinart almost beat the Bears too.

No one should judge Reggie Bush until he gets 20 carries a game.

Stick a fork in the Bears chances at an unbeaten season.

How much does it suck that it's the Dolphins?

I'm pretty sure that with Dallas kicking for the game-winning FG with six seconds left, the most unlikely scenario of all would be one in which Washington wins in regulation on a last-second FG of their own. Ye gods.

In case you didn't see it: Dallas goes for the game-winning FG with six seconds left. Skins block it, Sean Taylor picks it up and returns it past midfield. Dallas is also called for a personal foul facemask on Taylor's return, adding 15 yards and giving the Skins an untimed down inside the Dallas 40. Skins kicker hits the game winner from 47 out, just curving back between the posts. Wild.

What an ending!

Joe Gibbs gets passive for no reason and settles for a 49-yard field goal with 35 seconds to play, and they miss it.

Tony Romo does what he needs to do and sets up a chip shot with 6 seconds to play for Vanderjagt -- kick blocked, Sean Taylor runs down the field and gets tackled by the facemask. Tack on 15 yards and an untimed down.

Redskins kick a 47-yard field goal to win it with no time on the clock. Great finish.

Jenkins just dropped another ball. That's a total of 7 dropped balls for the Falcons. I don't care if you're Peyton Manning. If you have bad pass protection and recievers dropping balls, you're not going anywhere.
