Board 8 > NFL Week 7: What is it with all of the horrible Monday night games this season?

(+) Yeah! (+)

This is the new NFL. With the removal of the ability to knock out players going over the middle stopping NFL offenses is near impossible. Modern defenses don't care about yards, they care about Red Zone defense and turnovers. On the flip side, you don't need to be able to run the ball, you need to be able to convert 3rd downs. The Packers do both of these things very well. They're the best team in the NFL and it isn't close.

Which is why the Jets are the best team until somebody can stop The Sanchize to Cheddar Plax connection in the red zone.

I don't see how it's even remotely possible.

The Sanchize will just run it in head first if anything goes awry. Toughest QB in the league.

Yeah that's what I was getting at. Imagine having to stop the lob pass to a 6'6" receiver 4 times in a row. Even if you cover him, somebody is getting trucked by Sanchize.

Markie Mark was very accurate in the red zone yesterday. Impressively so. The knock on him all season has been his inability to convert in the Red Zone. But with Holmes ability to run precise routes and Plax's height and size, the Jets should convert in the Red Zone far more often. But yes, the Jets ability to force enemies into bad decisions in the red zone by sending 7 guys up the middle and making you pass is what makes them a top team in this league. Plus they just refuse to lose games at home.

The Sanchize would have erased an INT and added another TD in the red zone if the refs hadn't bailed the Chargirls out with a "holding" call on Mangold on the TD pass to Holmes.

Tim Tebow now has as many 4th quarter comebacks of 13 points or more as John Elway did in his entire career

Best of all time imminent

Wait, did the Jaguars resign Mike Sims-Walker after he left them to sign with the Rams, and then the Rams cut him?

Mike Sims-Walker wasn't good enough for the Rams, Jacksonville is already aware of how terrible he is, and then they take him back.

Apparently, Baltimore's Kryptonite is bad AFC South teams.

Doesn't bode well for when they face Indy.

To think, Seattle/Cleveland might not be the most unwatchable game of the week.

I literally started Joe Flacco over Matt Schaub because of my Titans fanboyism.

Literally.

jesus

I took Jags -7 in the ladder contest over Saints +35.

I figured the Ravens defence would stop the Jaguars, and I guess they kind of have been, but... ffs, man.

--
I'll see you in Hell! (From Heaven!)

That FG attempt sums up Baltimore's night so far pretty well.

--
"But you have been given freedom. Freedom to be...outside."
"I am lightning...the rain transformed."

...Why is Jacksonville challenging that? It doesn't even look questionable.

Also, 50 yard defensive pass interference on Jacksonville because Flacco horribly underthrows that pass. What garbage. That's why I like the 15 yard penalty in college better.

Makes a lot more sense to sign the guy who's already familiar with your playbook. And plus Sims-Walker isn't that bad.

Sims-Walker has had one decent year.

I may be somewhat jaded on him because I had him on my fantasy team last year and he sucked.

Ravens

WHY

WHY

He has scored 14 TDs in 2 years as a starter, despite missing 3 games. That's pretty good.

Remember what I said about how every NFL team sucks this year? And how I said the Ravens were one of the ones that didn't? Yeah about that.

Man, talk about bad luck for Baltimore on that onside kick

The Jets completely shut down the Ravens and they scored 3 defensive TDs. That game was a complete outlier, it would never happen again.

This is much more telling: http://espn.go.com/nfl/boxscore?gameId=310918020

I hate that the Ravens had like 45 total yards at one point in the 4th quarter and somehow still ended up with 146 in the end, which is more than the Seahawks had this sunday. Come on Ravens, if you're going to suck really go all out with it!

Tebow has proven he's a better QB than Joe Flacco.

They were put in nearly the exact same situation and played the exact same kind of game for 3.5 quarters.

Flacco chokes, Tebow succeeds.

All hail Tebow

Scobee will be in my fantasy team next year for sure. Assuming the offense isn't much better, he'll be a great choice!

--
Yes, I laugh at my own jokes
it's been so long since I've gone to the village to visit my animal friends. I'm excited to play this ****.-Mer

I cut a Scobee a few weeks ago because the Jaguars don't score enough points despite how good he is. You'd think a team that can't score TDs would be good for a kicker for fantasy points, but not so.
