Wow, AP had a horrible game and the Vikings tore up the Packer's secondary. 4-0 go Vikes! Allen is a beast!

D3V 2009-10-06 08:40 AM

Ah yes! The game was excellent. There was a slight rain for about 5 minutes an hour before the game and that was it. Tennessee was dominated pretty handedly, but they are also not the same team that they were. I'll try and get some pics from the game up, with all of the pink towels they handed out.

Thanatos 2009-10-06 10:38 AM

We play Tennessee this upcoming weekend. I'm thinking 34 - 10 Colts? Our defense has really stepped it up the past two games. Robert Mathis last game: 3 sacks, 2 forced fumbles - he is one of the most underrated DEs in the entire league.

Nice win by the Vikings. Favre has now beaten all 32 NFL teams. Pretty sure he's the only one that can boast that.

It's either going to be a blow out by the Colts or Tennessee could start a run. I swear they have so much talent still on their team but they just can't seem to get things together, they're missing 'chemistry' i'd say.

As for the Colts, they have been playing much better. I'm happy to see Peyton taking off, as the AFC South gets much more notice.

Last night's game was fantastic, and yes the 32 team record is just crazy. He came out and played like a champion last night. I was actually somewhat suprised, but figured they would still pull off the 'W'.

Week 5 should be intersting.

*Oh, and:

Wow, I'm not surprised there was no response in this thread by D3V..... I don't think anyone expected the Jags to get smoked 41-0 by the fucking Seahawks.... Unreal. Great games by the Eagles and Colts. Blow-outs, as usual. Peyton is the man. Straight up, stone cold killer.

D3V 2009-10-12 02:07 PM

I was just waiting for somebody else to bump it, but yeah. I watched almost the entire game, it got to the point either late in the 3rd or early in the 4th where I just started laughing at all of the shit that was going wrong. Just a total and absolute catastrophy by the Jaguars. Everyone is disappointed. But hats off to the Seahawks, they came out a different team yesterday and the Jaguars weren't ready for it.

I could go on and make up excuses but it's just like the Cardinals game, they came out on fire and the Jaguars had none. There were off the field issues too apparently this last weekend. Quentin Groves was involved in an accident near JIA and apparently fled the scene, but no official word on that yet. Mike Sims Walker was sat on the bench, and no reasoning behind that either. They had to fly from Jville to Seattle (not sure if the 3500mile trip would throw them off or not) and ugh.

Oh well, I have Peyton on my fantasy team so all is not bad. I'm not losing my faith in the Jaguars. I'm actually about to buy my tickets for this next sunday's against St Louis.

HandOfHeaven 2009-10-12 03:57 PM

Vikings are 5-0. They just rolled over the Rams. Those Rams might be worse than the '08 Lions.

Titusfied 2009-10-12 04:00 PM

The Bucaneers suck too.... Easy pass....

D3V 2009-10-13 07:38 AM

Here's the Jags receiver on Ustream from the Friday flight to Seattle. I am assuming this may have something to do with him not playing? Initially it was reported that his curfew was the issue, and now the local news is running with the Ustream story.

http://www.firstcoastnews.com/news/t...146554&catid=3

http://www.ustream.tv/recorded/2321746

I just watched/listened to the entire video and I see nothing wrong with what he did. But then again, David Garrard got in trouble the weekend of the Cardinals game for having a radio broadcast on Friday before the game, so maybe this falls into the same category. Stupid.....

Thanatos 2009-10-14 09:16 AM

Yeah I was surprised the Jags got absolutely STOMPED. You guys are just handing the AFC South to the Colts, thanks btw :)

Colts next games:

@ St. Louis
vs. 49ers
vs. Texans
vs. Patriots

I can easily see us going 9-0.

D3V 2009-10-14 09:38 AM

I see a bunch of upset games you've just listed. Headlines from 2 weeks from now "Colts fall apart after Bye week"

HandOfHeaven 2009-10-14 05:43 PM

St. Louis may as well forfeit to Indy. Patriots are the only potential threat in that series of games.

I'm looking forward to Minnesota/Baltimore and New York Giants/New Orleans games. Those should be a really competitive games, especially the latter one.

I'm going to laugh if St. Louis beats the Jags.

D3V 2009-10-15 08:09 AM

St Louis will get dominated by the Jags and then follow with an upset against Indy.

You know nothing about football.

Titusfied 2009-10-15 11:20 AM

Well, I wouldn't call the 49ers and Patriots an easy game, but at the very least the Colts should go 3-1, with a very good possibility of 4-0 over that stretch.

Wait, what? What does losing an out of conference, out of divison game have to do with the AFC South? What are you even rambling about? That has nothing to do with the AFC South. You go by wins and then division rankings so losing one game means nothing.

In St Louis could be a suprising game for the Colts. You don't know that they are going to win, nobody does. The 49ers are in the same category, they could pull an upset against the Colts considering the type of football they play. And then there were two. The Texans aren't going to bow down to the Colts neither are the Patriots.

Quote:

Once again, the Colts will win the AFC South and make it to the playoffs
They're good at that but not good at going any futher. Kinda like those damn Eagles, huh?

Quote:

So, the Jags going to go 0-3, D3V? Houston's offense looked pretty strong against Tennessee last week.. I donno if you guys will be able to contain them. Matt Schaub to Andre Johnson all day long.
No, they dominated Houston completely. So, looks like you are wrong.

Quote:

And it will be exciting to see AP running all over the entire Packers team.
Actually he had 25 carries and 55 yards along with 1 catch for 0 yards. doesn't sound like "running all over" to me.

Aaron Rodgers threw for 384 and 2TDs, with one pick. Sounds like he picked it apart pretty well, i'd say. Well i'm not saying it, the stats are. But since I don't know anything about football, then shit..

Thanatos 2009-10-16 10:27 AM

lol Colts shit all over the Seahawks and then they go out and shut out Jags 41-0. Ouch. I mean, they couldn't even get a FIELD GOAL lmao. Now you have your best player bitching at the coaching staff and you can't even watch home games because they're blacked out. Not going too well in ol' Jacksonville.

You predicted the upset against Titans vs. Colts, right? And what happened? Colts dominate them, just like they will against St. Louis. If you're really picking St. Louis over the Indy, then yes, you probably don't know anything about football. All the Colts have to do is get an early lead (which they will) and St. Louis is forced to pass to catch up. Kyle fucking Boller going to lead them to victory against one of the best pass rushing combos in the NFL? Not likely.

No, one out of conference game doesn't mean the race for the AFC South is over, but the way things are going, the outcome is predictable.

D3V 2009-10-16 10:36 AM

I still love you, please don't take my sarcastic posts intertwined with my real bullshit thoughts too seriously <3

I just have to call any Colts fan out at any chance I can get, even if my reasons are illegitimate.

Grav 2009-10-16 11:55 AM

Wait, shouldn't we be talking about how gay skittles is?

D3V 2009-10-16 12:27 PM

True!


We could start a weekly Pick 'em again if you guys want.

Titusfied 2009-10-19 03:04 AM

Eagles are the laughing stock of the NFL right now... :(

Well, maybe the Titans are, but I feel like the Eagles are right there with them.

At least I had Brady on my fantasy team yesterday..........

D3V 2009-10-19 08:34 AM

Yes they are. Jags managed to pull themselves out of a loss to StLouis. The Pats/Titans game was truly hilarious. Watching the Titans being dismantled by any team is just a dream come true.

Thanatos 2009-10-19 09:50 AM

Jags had to go to overtime to beat the Rams...

rofl

And Titus, I'm sorry bro that sucks.

Did you even watch the game? If not, then fuck off. I mean, is a win not a win? Not even that route, but especially in overtime. They got it done when they needed to.

Yup. They sure got dominated.

D3V 2009-10-19 01:19 PM

No, Indy hasn't played yet.. remember you guys had a bye week.


*And why did you avoid my question? Did you even watch the game?

Titusfied 2009-10-19 02:13 PM

I watched the game. I watch basically every game, every week. The Jags didn't look good. MJD is the lone bright spot right now, aside from sparatic good play from Garrard. He had a pick towards the end of the game that almost cost them the game. Good OT win, albeit against the Rams...

D3V 2009-10-19 02:33 PM

I'll break this down for Thanatos since he doesn't know what domination is. And once he learns his lesson, he will just try and say that St Louis is just a shitty team, etc etc, bullshit about peyton manning and then disappear for another week.

Passing

David Garrard threw for 335 yards with 2 picks in the Red Zone. Marc Bulger had 213 yards with one td and one pick

Rushing

Steven Jackson had 50 yards rushing. Maurice Jones-Drew had 133 yards, and David Garrard had 30 yards running of his own.

Receiving

Steven Jackson had 78 yards receiving. Mike Sims-Walker had 9 catches for 120 yards, Torry Holt had 5 for 101, Mike Thomas 7 catches for 52 yards, and Mojo had 5 for 45.

So far, all I see is domination. But hey, these are just the statistics.

3rd down efficiency for St Louis was 4/12 and for the Jaguars was 11/16.

Total net yards for St Louis was 262 yards, as for the Jags it was 492. 500 yards of offense? Nice.

Time of Posession: St L had 24:48 and the Jags had 42:12.

That is basically domination. I'm sorry you just looked at the score and seen the Jags won in overtime.

Thanatos 2009-10-19 03:25 PM

No I did not watch the game, it didn't broadcast in Indianapolis and I doubt it did in Jacksonville, either.

Domination would be 59-0 that the Patriots gave the Titans. Domination is not beating an 0-5 team in OT. Big difference.

oh.... and....

D3V 2009-10-19 03:52 PM

The score of a game does not have anything to do with one team dominating another. That is only the final score. It's obvious you've never played football.

Thanatos 2009-10-19 06:28 PM

This is an example of domination:

HandOfHeaven 2009-10-19 11:19 PM

Anyone see the Saints/Giants game? I won 5 bucks, but did not expect New Orleans to embarrass the Giants.

The Vikings barely squeaked out a win. Damn Childress likes to run the ball when he has a point cushion, when he should be running up the score. The pass game was working all game for the Vikings, so I don't see why they couldn't finish off Baltimore by doing that They are getting overconfident and cocky. Hats off to Flacco and company though; that was a pretty amazing comeback attempt.

I don't have to listen to somebody who's never played the game outside of their local park. Obviously you don't know what you're talking about and can only refer to the final score for your assumptions. It must be nice being simple.

*I mean, the fact that the Jaguars dominated them, you said they didn't, but the stats show they did, avoid my point and bring up other bullshit to sway away from the emphasis is just hilarious. I thought you were smarter than that, or maybe you still are, which is why you are avoiding the real reasons. Have fun with St Louis Sunday, I hope they demolish Indy.

Titusfied 2009-10-21 03:48 PM

Well, lets not get ridiculous. Indy WILL DOMINATE St. Louis, any fool can see that. Jags "dominated" that game between the 20's, but when it counted they shit the bed. That is the sole reason I will NOT say the Jags dominated the Rams last weekend.

Thanatos 2009-10-21 06:11 PM

Hooray for common sense instead of blind fandom bias!!

There is no guarantee they will dominate them. The Broncos back in '97 were supposed to dominate the Jag-Wads, and what happened? They got upset at home in the playoffs.

Dominated between the 20's, but when it counted they shit the bed. That's odd, I remember seeing Jaguars 23 and St Louis 20. Looks like they won, I don't see how that's "shitting the bed".

You just gave a reason that makes no sense and you are saying because the score was close that doesn't mean domination. You guys are both idiots if you think the final score of any game deems domination or not. The stats are the sole indicator if a team dominates another team. That is it.

Still can't answer any of my questions? I guess you are still wrong then, huh?

Titusfied 2009-10-23 12:08 PM

Listen, maybe your definition of domination in football terms is different than mine, but you are seriously one of the biggest homer losers I've ever come across. Open up your mind. You do realize that you just quoted an upset from '97 and used it as a basis for your arguement on why Indy MIGHT not dominate a team in 2009, right? Get a grip man.

Do you even know what I meant when I said you dominated between the 20's, but shit the bed in the red zone? Because your retort shows you don't. I will gladly explain it to your dense brain if you wish.

I know what you fucking mean! They didn't shit the bed, St Louis made excellent plays in the Red Zone and that's it. How come you can't give St Louis any credit? My retort was to try and persuade my original argument, which sailed gracefully over both of your heads. Please, explain to me your definition of domination.

59-0 obviously is domination, but you reasoning is not correct. You both point to the final score, not the statistics of the game. It's as simple as that. You guys feel that the final score of the game deems domination and the stats obviously mean nothing. It's like talking to a brick wall with both of you. You have no reasoning for calling me dense, either.

Me speaking my opinion that Indy probably won't "DOMINATE" St Louis is just that, an opinion. Somehow you guys can't seem to see that, and deem it homerism on my part and try to spin the entire argument around on the emphasis of..well, nothing.

Domination in sports is when you compare stats, not when you compare scores. You are both wrong on YOUR definitions.

Titusfied 2009-10-24 01:43 PM

My definition certainly includes stats, but it also DEFINITELY includes score. Now, why can't YOU understand that. They aren't mutually exclusive.

D3V 2009-10-26 09:49 AM

Because they aren't, stats always outweigh the score. The score is the byproduct of the stats.
