Meanwhile Manuel is orchestrating game winning TD drives in the final minute of a game while our #1 overall pick RT is getting his ass handed to him like a 9ers fan in this thread. No reason to be upset, none at all. |

Tonight should be fun though, and next week as well. Well, not in this thread, but on TV.

I have been gone for a while, and not seen this thread develop. Can someone give me the bullet points, as I am not trying to read all 300 pgs. Particularly, what is the suggested alternative to Alex Smith. Cassel? Geno Smith? I am happy with 34td to 10int since week 1 2011.

It beats the hell out of last year, but I've seen this before. It looks early similar to MartyBall(Pre Joe) only instead of 3 yards and a cloud of dust it's a short passing game. Don't beat yourself by turning it over, play solid defense and special teams, beat the shit teams and average teams when at home lose to the good teams.

How you guys are getting that the cowboys are a mediocre team is beyond me. I'm guessing it makes your argument sound better, but that's absolutely a good team.
It's a top 5 type offense with a better than average defense |

I was looking at Peyton Mannings record from last season: http://www.nfl.com/player/peytonmann...gs?season=2012 I count 5 games where the other team scored 24 points or more. Peyton's record in that situation from 2012 is 1 win, 4 losses, including the loss in the playoffs. He did better in 2010: http://www.nfl.com/player/peytonmann...gs?season=2010 I count 4 wins and 6 losses when the other team scored 24 points or more. Even better in 2009: http://www.nfl.com/player/peytonmann...gs?season=2010 3 wins and 2 losses. 2008: 3 wins, 3 losses. 2007: 2 wins, 2 losses, including the playoffs. 12 and 13, total for those years. Of course, that is Peyton Manning, one of the best of all time. Let's look at someone a bit more ordinary. Big Ben, for example. 2012: http://www.nfl.com/player/benroethli...gs?season=2012 0 wins, 5 losses when the other team scored 24 points or more. 2011: 0 wins, 2 losses when the other team scored 24 points or more, including the playoffs. 2010: 1 and 1 2009: 3 and 2 2008: 1 and 2, including the playoffs. 2007: 2 and 5, including the playoffs. 7 and 17 total for those years. So, let's just say it's not all that unusual to lose when your opponent puts up 24 points or more. Now, of course, 2-27-1 is obviously quite a bit worse that 7-17, but you also have to consider that that is a career stat, including his rookie year, the team coming off of a 2-14 season, 2007 when he was playing with a separated shoulder, the golden years of Jimmy Raye, etc. Matt Ryan was 3 and 3 last season. Matt Schaub was 3 and 4 last season. Vick was 0 and 11 last season. 0 and 7 in 2011.

Vilma was out, Sedrick Ellis was out. Tracy Porter was gone. You are delusional. Not to mention that they didn't have Sean Payton, or Gregg Williams. Please, tell some more funny stories.

Couldn't agree more, but there wasn't a qb worth drafting this year, at least not without shuffling the entire draft order. So what is everyone bitching about? Who do they want?

Ellis is a bust, and Porter is a Jag. Not identical, but it's not like they were playing like they were during their SB run.

The prevailing opinion TODAY is that it should of been a no brainer to take Ej Manuel. Although the Bills were so excited to take him, that instead of drafting him 8th where they were originally, they decided to happily drop to 16th to grab him.

Lots of misery and gloom, despite the 2-0 start. Each week, the next premise = "meh, let's see how they do the next week... we are still likely not going anywhere, and would have been better off drafting Geno or ____ at 1.1 and developing him into a stud VS some other scrub veteran." ... of which, I disagree with altogether.
