Monday Night Open Thread: Broncos at Chargers

PrintReasons to care about this game: the Chargers are playing better than their record, QB Philip Rivers may deserve the MVP award, and the Broncos might have saved their coach's job last week with a win (and they may need to do it again).
Reasons not to care: two AFC teams, and they both have losing records.
In the end, I'll probably watch because it's on, but obviously this game means nothing for the Packers.

For anybody who also
roots for the Chiefs in the AFC should be interested in this game and rooting for the Broncos to win.

I've known a few Raiders fans
Went to high school in a western state where people could kinda pick and choose who they rooted for. You could always be sure of at least some strong language in the halls on Broncos-Raiders weeks.

Look what Moreno can do when he's healthy....
… can you imagine what a beast of an offense we’d have with 1st round talent at RB? I wouldn’t be surprised at all by a 1st round pick next year spent at OT again or along the DL (since it looks like they’re going to let Jenkins walk, for reasons I don’t quite understand), but I can think of a couple of college RBs likely to come out whom I’d freaking love to see in a Packer uni. Then Jackson can slide back into the 3rd down RB role he’s made for.

I’d love to see us draft a talented running back. I think it could put our offense over the top.

I don’t get why we seem to be hard balling Jenkins either. He’s been consistently good for us, and is our second best pass rusher. I know he’s 29 or 30 but he still probably has a couple years left in him as a pass rusher.

will draft the best available. He rarely does anything different. It’s not flashy, but hey, look what it’s produced.

Plus, he plays hurt.
That’s huge for the big DL guys on Capers 3-4. With all they’re asked to do they’re going to get dinged up and you’re going to need them to play through it. He holds up against the run and gets surprising pressure given his size. The only thing I can figure is that they think Jolly’s going to step right back to the level he was at last year when he returns. That would leave them with Jolly, Raji, Pickett, Neal as their top 4 DL going into the draft. I like Pickett as much as the next guy, but you can’t ask him to play more than 30 snaps.
Jenkins and Williams are two deals that need to get done by the first of the year. I know it’ll cost them bonus money going into the lockout which might be why they’re prioritizing Williams but ignoring Jenkins, which seems to be the case.

And immediately after that is a Favre fan ripping into me for daring to suggest that Favre isn’t the greatest in the league. With the grammar of a kindergartner.
I just had a disquieting thought.
Adams is trying to shove Vince Young down Jeff Fisher’s throat, so Fisher is putting him on IR in somewhat of a defiant fashion.
What if Adams cans Fisher?
And what if the Vikings hire him?
God, I hope that doesn’t happen. I love Jeff Fisher.

There isn't a coach on
God’s green earth that will be able to turn that franchise around in a timely fashion. That is a 5 year project up there. The only thing they have going for them is a MVP caliber RB, other than that I struggle to find many other bright spots.

they were in the NFC Championship game last year,
I fail to believe that one year later they are now a “5 year project”, it’s the same unit they had last year and will be quite similar next year…if they get a decent QB in there they’ll be just fine.
Oz on Swish HR celeb: "That's the way he is. Good for him, enjoy it. I wish he could do it for me, he was a very horseshit player for me.''

And their draft strategy has been suspect in recent years
Does anyone really believe in Toby Gerhart as a rising star?
"Who ever heard of the Cubs losing a game they had to have?" -Frank Chance
"If [Ruth] had [called his shot], I would have knocked him down with the next pitch." -Charlie Root
It just seemed like the Vikings were the team where he would fit in the worst
They have a RB who can do everything well except catch and block, so they go out….and get a power RB who can’t catch very well, or block.
He would be a good fit on a team with a smaller, multi-purpose back, where he would fit the power role. But Adrian Peterson is already 10x more powerful than him.
Like for the Eagles
Oz on Swish HR celeb: "That's the way he is. Good for him, enjoy it. I wish he could do it for me, he was a very horseshit player for me.''
I just can't come to the belief that they are truly done for a few years,
there is still a lot of talent on that squad.
Oz on Swish HR celeb: "That's the way he is. Good for him, enjoy it. I wish he could do it for me, he was a very horseshit player for me.''
Name one position
other than RB and slot receiver where they are talented. I don’t hate the Vikings but they are getting older while already being old, if that makes any sense.

I hate the Vikings wholeheartedly but their Defense still has got some names:
Allen, Greenway, Winfield
Oz on Swish HR celeb: "That's the way he is. Good for him, enjoy it. I wish he could do it for me, he was a very horseshit player for me.''
Allen minus the Williams Wall is fairly suspect
Greenway’s still got some pop, though – in an ideal rebuilding situation, you dangle him for draft picks.

I have a feeling you will see a very different team, personnel wise
They’ve spent a ton of money these last few years. They have a lot of players whose contracts are up, including Sidney Rice, Ray Edwards, Ben Leber, Chad Greenway, and good old Phat Williams.
I think you’re going to see a massive salary dump, as they start over with their core of Harvin and Peterson.
I'd be delighted to see that
if so the NFC North could become a Packers dynasty.

Stafford is the Mark Prior of football,
the guy isn’t gonna be able to keep on the field, and therefore I have my doubts about the Lion’s future, though it is finally looking brighter.
Oz on Swish HR celeb: "That's the way he is. Good for him, enjoy it. I wish he could do it for me, he was a very horseshit player for me.''

….I like Stafford more than pretty much any other young QB in football. He can dominate when he’s healthy, problem is, he is never healthy.

The problem there is similar
You’ve got a fanbase which is desperate for wins and weak-willed management willing to do what it takes to give them those, so they rush their young stud back onto the field before he’s truly healthy. Look what happens next…

But with the way some of those pricks over at DN are treating me for simply agreeing with those Vikings fans who say that benching Favre is the right move (duh), I wouldn’t be sad to see them lose their team.
They'll just turn back into Packer fans after that

Not at all
There are some who always have a BAC above .01 – the technical term for them is “alcoholics”. These people can put away awesome amounts of hooch and still wake up in the morning. I used to room with a guy who weighed maybe a buck-thirty soaking wet and he’d put down a fifth a night. Held down an accounting job, too.
Like anything else, alcohol consumption can be improved with practice. I don’t recommend the training regimen, though.

WC1: New England 8-2
WC2: Pittsburgh 7-3

West: Seattle 5-5 (WTF)
WC1: New Orleans 7-3
WC2: Green Bay 7-3
Outside looking in: Tampa Bay 7-3, New York Giants 6-4, Washington 5-5

5-5 Seattle is completely deserving of a WTF tag
as is Chicago.
I want Washington to clock Minnesota next week just to make it clear, in no uncertain terms, that Brett Favre cannot pull a 2009 out of his hat.
Brett Favre’s opinion was NOT solicited…

First round byes I think go to
AFC: Jets and Baltimore
NFC: Atlanta and Philadelphia
So it is pretty important for us to win this coming week and beat the Bears. We would be in contention for home field.

Changes from last week:
AFC South: Indianapolis goes from Division champ to outside looking in and Jacksonville is Division champ from outside looking in.
AFC West: Oakland goes from Division champ to outside looking in and Kansas City is division champ.
NFC East: New York Giants goes from Division champ to outside looking in and Philadelphia takes over after their win.

It’s sitting on the reportorial/farce fence – it really needs to go one way or another to have more impact. My advice to you is to read The Onion and cracked.com for examples of those two styles and adjust accordingly.

Texas Packer fan, since the days of Don Majkowski. I think the last two wins have been my second most enjoyable moments as a Packer fan.

Ohhhh Man....Amazing!!!
You have no idea how much I despise the Cows. I hate no other franchise in sports more!!! It is brutal being a Pack fan down here, never worse than the early to mid 90’s.
"I'm ok with being unimpressive..I sleep better"
Interesting.
Would like to hear how you became a Packer fan in Texas. Usually most people that are Packer fans in Texas that I know of are transplants.
by Bush League All Star on Nov 22, 2010 10:53 PM CST up reply actions
It is all rooted in Jerry Jone's takeover..
I was living in Dallas at the time, Jones had just bought the team in ’89 and fired Tom Landry like he was Chilly. I loved Landry as a kid and still think he was a total class act. The team preceeds to go 1-15, and like everyone else in Dallas I disowned them, just about the time the Packers were playing really exciting football with Majik. We went 10-6 that year and just missed the playoffs. I have loved this team every since. It is like no other in the league.
"I'm ok with being unimpressive..I sleep better"
Awesome!
Well nice to have you aboard. I think this site can use some new voices. Just comment when you can. :)

Thanks again.
It’s nice to talk Packer football with Packer fans. And btw, you will never meet more fair-weather fans than Cow fans. Many of them are oblivious to anything going on in the NFL if it’s not Dallas related.
"I'm ok with being unimpressive..I sleep better"
I seem to recall a joke going around Texas during that 1-15 season
A Cowboys fan is pushing his shopping cart around the grocery store when he remembers something. He had left his Cowboys season tickets laying right out on the dashboard of his truck! He abandons his cart and sprints out of the store to his truck only to find that his worst fears have come true. Someone busted out his window and left two more Cowboys season tickets on his dash.

HA!
You saw more 49ers, Oilers and Raiders gear being worn in that town than anything. No one was supporting that team, and I mean no one. It was a combination of the total disrespect Jones showed Landry in the way he fired him (like he was nobody), and then followed up with the one win season. But oh how they flocked back when the team was winning, I just never did. And caught shit to the tenth power for being a Packer fan.

He has a long-enough history at failure. I’d tip him if he were my Pizza Hut driver, though.

Injury update
McCarthy said that both safeties Atari Bigby (hamstring) and Anthony Smith (ankle) will be hard-pressed to play this week after getting hurt in Sunday’s game. Jarrett Bush played a few snaps at safety on Sunday when Charlie Peprah had to come out of the game briefly, and Capers said Bush would remain the first option as a backup safety if Smith and Bigby can’t play.
I didn’t watch the game as I was out of town, but did these injuries look bad?
by Bush League All Star on Nov 22, 2010 10:51 PM CST reply actions
Not at all
Well, maybe Bigby. Other than that, it all looked like pretty normal nicks during the course of a game.
