The 2010 NFL Season Thread

Sorry I thought you were defending the contract, misinterpreted your post.

Ah, understood I often have no clue what I'm saying even.
Yeah this is the perfect example of the Skins terrible management.
It's honestly mind boggling. 40 million dollars guaranteed for McNabb? That's Cowboys-esque on the wtf meter!

Good feeling.

Total and unequivocal domination.

JJLehto wrote: Yup, complete burning of the Skins. ACTUALLY, for like 5 minutes I was impressed with them. They stopped the Eagles twice and scored on 2 explosive plays themselves. That's probably the best they can hope for! But ouch, we all know the redskins are a woeful team, and the Eagles are just going for blood against them. And I never thought I'd say this, EVER...but Michael Vick is actually a QB!

Eagles D probably checked out a bit, I think it's hard for even the pros to keep 100% focus when you're up that big...but man this is a shellacking.

WOW!

I know it was the Skins but still, this is damn impressive.

20/28 for 333 yards, 4 TD/ 0 INT
Also 80 yards running and another 2 TD

I was very impressed with how Vick sat in the pocket, even when a lot of pressure came on him, made his progressions and then accurate throws. He only ran when needed, and was impossible to stop and of course eluded pressure.

Also his distribution passes and touchdowns was very balanced.
Impressive game from Vick. Still don't like him as a person but damn, what a game.

If their offense is so "nancy boy", then the big bad Steel curtain should have no problem shutting it down, yes?

That Eagles game was a lot, a lot, a lot, a lot, a lotttttttttttttt of fun to watch.

Screw close games. I'd rather see my team run over the other. Especially after the disgusting behavior of Landry became known to me.

I was quite upset about the defensive play. They probably checked out after it was 35-0. Can't blame them too much, but still can't get burnt by a no talent Redskins team for the deep plays like they did.

And Superbowl MVP and greatest sports redemption story of all time.

Blind optimism has never let a Philly fan down.

Blind optimism has never let a Philly fan down. Sure will be an interesting second half, seeing who emerges from the pack of 6-3 teams (and Atlanta who is poking their head out a bit at 7-2) in the NFC.

It's a shame that it appears that the Packers and Saints are getting back to form. The only NFC team that really scares me now is the Saints though, and I believe we can certainly beat them.

Actually it makes perfect sense, they got that 3-4 with those big linemen and those big ol outside LB's
Doesn't seem quite fitting for stopping that style.


"Nancy Boy" is a bit much to say but I'd agree. Ever since 07 man, Pats run that 3, 4 receiver spread offense throwing 2 yard passes. Wes Welker isn't even like a receiver, he plays in a spread so he's more open and he catches all those little passes.

Whatever works man, but I hate the offensive style and its pretty boring to watch.
Annoyingly difficult to stop though.
