Around SBN: The Week In Worst: When Baseball Goes Wrong

Sunday Night Open Thread: Giants at Eagles

It's possible the Green Bay Packers will be battling either of these teams for a wild card spot in a few weeks, so this game could be really important. But for now, which one will win the NFC East and which one will be playing for a wild card berth? I really don't have a preference as to whether the Eagles or Giants win. The game's online if you aren't near a TV tonight.

Now that the Vikings are out of the way

We can root for them to beat the Giants and Eagles, and maybe even show a blueprint for beating the New Michael Vick. I’m hoping Jackson leads them to victory to really throw the Vikings franchise into a deep state of uncertainty regarding their future.

What about our RPI?

You know we won’t get an NCAA berth without it!

Beat Northwestern, THEN I'll talk Wisconsin in the BCS. But not until that happens.

Threw his pads and uni into the stands

by Packers3485 on Nov 21, 2010 7:56 PM CST up reply actions  

I thought he was listed as probable

So didn’t want to play him against a tough D. Mathews is listed as doubtful for SD, so I figured Tolbert should get some points against Denver’s poor D. Also, should I play Gates? What’s the word on him? I still have time to pick up Randy McMichael – though I’d probably have to drop Randy Moss to do it. Any thoughts?

Last I heard, I thought it was looking like he wasn't going to play

But I don’t have him on any teams, so I haven’t really paid attention to anything in the last few days. If you’re only winning by a little bit, or still in the game, it might be worth it to pick McMichael up. If it’s pretty much settled, probably not.

by Packers3485 on Nov 21, 2010 8:02 PM CST up reply actions  

Tolbert should have

a bigger game than McCoy. The Eagles are so pass happy right now it is silly. Remember a certain MNF game last week when the Eagles were throwing bombs up by 30 in a typhoon. That was a good call, Tolbert will run rough shod over the Broncos.

Andy Reid can't call a run play

He tries, but was born with a defect in his tongue which doesn’t allow him to form the words. So all Vick hears in his helmet speaker is “Rrr. Keep the ball on the grrrr.”

It’s tragic.

Anyone else out there like to see Rodgers run a little more?

He’s pretty fast, and I’d love to give opposing LBs more to worry about. Might give the TEs a little more space and an extra step to the RB in the flat. Maybe this is just a side effect of watching Vick play.

I'm all for the slide

I’d be happy for 4-5 yard runs, just a little something to slow down the rush just a little by making them stay in their lanes, and to keep the LBs from being able to concentrate solely on coverage.

by I voted for Kodos on Nov 21, 2010 8:16 PM CST up reply actions  

Yeah I would. It does seem like he’s tucked it away more as of late though. Seems like he’s usually good for a first down run or two a game.

by packallday555 on Nov 21, 2010 8:12 PM CST up reply actions  

I'm on the fence

He had a good run today, but on other opportunities, he stuck back and passed (like Jennings TD #1). I think you kinda want to keep that aspect of his game hidden a bit – just enough for opposing DCs to discount it as something that’s unlikely to happen. Then unleash it in the second half of the NFC Championship game.

They should have a Pat Williams TV show

Where he’s a detective trying to find out who in the Vikings locker room has started the latest rumors of tension amongst players and coach. Each week would start with a classic Pat monologue along the lines of:

 "That’s just all reports. Ain’t no names. . . . He ain’t going to give nobody no names. So I really don’t pay no attention to that. That’s all he-say, she-say stuff. He ain’t going to put no names put out there, so I don’t know if it’ true or not. That’s like somebody say I’m gay, but they don’t have to tell me who said it. I don’t know. But they’re going to believe it. They going to believe it. If somebody starts that rumor, they’re going to believe it. So that’s how it is. That’s all rumor. They not going to tell me who said it, so I don’t know."

And it would be on CBS and would co-star Andy Griffith as assistant detective.

My first go around with Fantasy was like that

It was fantasy baseball. That was awful. You can’t keep your interest up for half a year and 14 games a day. Then I tried fantasy hockey a few years later and that was a lot better. You don’t really have to follow hockey that closely, you just have to be good at spotting trends and such.

But for Football, after your first year you see who gets what based on who you play and adjust accordingly. My first year was 2007 and I took Brady which netted me second place because that was the “Us against the world Patriots.” So after a few years I know about the Bowes, HIllis, and other players on crappy teams who dominate fantasy. I otherwise don’t invest any extra time. Our leagues don’t do any trades, it’s all free agency.

by Danwood on Nov 21, 2010 9:46 PM CST up reply actions  

The funny thing is that I can keep up enough to gamble on *teams*

But not individual players. I can look at the scores and understand which team is doing well at any given point in a season (and generally why), but when it comes down to individual performances, I just don’t care enough anymore. To me, they’re all just something you plug into a position.

This is why I would make a shitty GM.

It also depends on how your league scores

Yard per rush? Just look for the teams that have a primary RB and don’t rely on their secondary so much. Not rocket science. If he averages 20 yards per game, in our league, that’s 10 points easy.

that a lot of people are down on the Bears. Their defense is way above average and special teams are probably the best in the league. Even their offense has it’s moments.

It’s the offense for them. If you have a half decent secondary when you blitz you can shut down Cutler pretty easily.

I’d pretend to be surprised

But, really. . .there’s no reason to be surprised.

At the risk of using stronger language than I might like, I’m through giving two shits what fans of any other team think of me personally or of my opinions or of how I run this website.

So ... exactly how hard is it for the referee to figure this out?

I didn't believe it last August, but it turns out that love survives.

Agreed,

replayed calls should never be decided by a 70 year old ref on the field. Just sayin.

I hope he gets the team to the playoffs and if they play the Packers they lose. I have a hard time hating the guy for what he did when other guys in the NFL have gotten away with murder, literally murder/

He broke the law,

payed the price (unlike most high profile people) and is still doing charitable things even after he is no longer obligated. I’m not defending him, what he did makes me cringe, but I’m still hearing so much hate about the guy. It kind of pisses me off.

I think the Simpsons are still good

They did peak in the mid-90s, but really, I think it’s more than other TV shows have caught up. They still have their moments where it’s great, and it’s definitely better than Family Guy or The Cleveland Show.

When I lived in NC for 4 years

I’d watch the first half and go to bed. Now that I’m back in the midwest I make it to the 3rd quarter and that’s all… getting up at 5:30 sucks enough anyway. Unless it’s the Pack, of course.

But yes, it’s ridiculous, because it’s not like they don’t start until 10:00 am on the East Coast.
