2014 NFL Season

I excluded the final stats because the "2 minute drive" is of course all passing. ....that's being generous in this case

Quite right Leary, thing is many of these college offenses are, whacky. He was great at WV but that's one of those spread, shotgun always, QB option deals...with quick, simple passes, probably a "one look" deal. 

I'm not saying a QB in this situation can't adopt to the NFL, but it seems RARE, will need time and the Jets have nooooooo offensive talent, until Harvin now. Drafting Geno was pure idiocy, but hey...stats and pizzazz are what lure us in now. The guys like Bortles, Carr, Mettenberger will almost certainly be more successful than Geno, Tebow, Locker, the kids that played in these college offenses. Hell, look at Wilson vs Kaepernick. Wilson played at a big ten school, Kaep in one of the whacky college offenses, and look how night and day they are. 

 

What do ya know, the Steelers won a game, against Bengals too!  Game was closer than the score, we got burned a number of times deep.  A couple of turnovers late and we took advantage of it.

 

Of course they have to play a team with a winning record to play worth a damn, otherwise we loose to the basement teams.

 

Watching Green Bay is a thing of beauty. Rodgers is truly the best QB in the game. Makes every throw, is mobile as hell (he just bounced off a defender!) can make perfect throws even when in full scramble..like there is nothing you can do to really stop the guy. Even if you do, he can just take off. 

The whole team is just a well oiled machine, the backs are both great, Jordy Nelson and Rodgers are in perfect sync, it's amazing. 

Though Matt Ryan has played quite well, and Julio Jones is a freak   he has just shredded this secondary, every catch has been impressive, big, or gone for a first down. One of the most impressive WR games I've seen. I give Atlanta credit for hanging in there despite being on the verge of blowout all game. 

Tonight's game was a battle of two defensive teams, lacking offense, so 12-6 via 6 field goals is pretty much what I expected  Ya know, Arizona has been impressive. Now on their 4th QB (and Stanton may be done for the year) and ya know, St Louis at home is not an easy win these days. 

I stand mightily corrected. 

12 catches - 143 yards and 3 TDs. 

He's done it all, big catches, small ones, wide open, tight coverage, make people miss. He had a 4th TD as well, a pretty superb one, that was negated by a holding penalty. 

Eli played pretty well to boot, moved around a lot, made some great throws, no stupid mistakes. 

Our defense sucked ass, and we really are VERY lucky....instead of being down 10 points the RGIII run was ruled a fumble just barely which turned the game. 

We can't seem to stop anyone and the O line can't run block to save their lives but hey, I'll take the W and pray that some of the progress we've seen carries into next year: Kennard, Hankins, Donnell and Beckham and our O line all did show potential. 22 sacks in three games, it's been against poor teams, but maybe they can work on it and carry into next year. 

Bills beat Packers! Rodgers 40% completion with 2 picks. 

Gotta love this game.
