Thoughts From NFL Week 10: Chicago Bears and beyond

9) Terrible way to lose a game for the Browns. I wonder when the last time was that their holder Brad Maynard had to field a bad snap?

That one time when Dez Clark was the snapper in pre-season last year. Then the Bears decided to clone Pat Mannelly to never have to be without his awesomeness or his Ditkalike Stache.

1) They could seriously go 0-16, I didn’t believe it early on, but after a 62-7 loss its looking possible.
2) I really think thats the AFC West team that will beat us, they’ll probably have DMC back too.
3) I’ll admit, I’m a Tebow hater and he looks awful as a passing QB, but the dude knows how to win.
4) Its somewhere in the middle, the Cowboys aren’t that good and the Bills aren’t that bad. We’ll see something more realistic from them next week.
5) When you look at the talent disparity between the Ravens and the Seahawks, no amount of crowd noise excuses them for dropping a game like that.
6) I’ve been skeptical, and still am regarding possible playoff performance since Alex Smith hasn’t had to do much, but they’re a legitimate contender for the #1 seed.
7) Dream team was caught dreaming.
8) It helps that they picked their new punter off waivers the week before. Dunno if he was cocky or just bad, but I’m happy he did it.
9) I wasn’t sure how Podlesh would work out, but he’s proven to be a definite upgrade.
10) I definitely didn’t see a final score like that coming, but good on them for beating them not only with excellent QB play, but turnovers for the defense and ST.

I wish you guys played the Lions every week, it makes the internet more fun.

1) Same. It’s bad enough people are now being serious about it.

2) I’ll hold my judgement about Palmer.

3) And to think they had a “genius” offensive HC a few years ago, and now they’re playing pre-Luckman football. Funny, considering they gave us away the best QB we’ve had since him.

4) Could say “both”, but Romo starts melting down (or freezing) in a couple of weeks.

5) Can we take any AFC team seriously at this point?

6) They have a legit shot at the NFC.I’d love to see them play the Packers. But then again, I’d rather play them in Green Bay again in January.

7) Well, it’s called a dream team for a reason AMIRITE ?

8) He occasionally has some dumb decisions, but after a good return, you know he’s going to the endzone sooner or later. After the first 40 yd return, just kick it out of bounds.

10) And a big statement by Sanchise, too.

1 – Really I had heard that pmanning MVP talk back at week 5. I found it humorous that a guy that did not play this season should win the MVP but eh

2 – palmer did look good against the charger but that game against the broncos stands out to me so much. Know it was 1st full start and what not but he did not look that great. IMO palmer didnt look to hot against the chargers either

3 – 56 run plays and 8 pass plays. Did you ever think you would see that in the modern NFL. Cant fault denver to much I mean kc just refused to stop the run and they just shoved it down their throat. Also gotta love ESPN having like 5 topics on tebow on their various shows

4 – IMO a little bit of both but cowboy fans down here are starting to get a little chirpy

5 – Well you cant when they also consider their loss to jax. However if you look at those 2 losses ray rice barely touched the ball. Their matt forte if you will offense needs to go through him it looks like

6 – Ya I thought them serious after this game and @ det. alex smith is putting together a very nice season

7 – ESPN NFL analysts (specifically former players) think it was more than just a missed meeting that caused djackson deactivation

8 – Ya but it makes me happy when Hester returns it to the house

9 – Watching that was painful but eh 2 bad teams playing so ya

10 – I loved mike greenberg getting off the sanchize band wagon this morning. Pretty much saying he stinks. I was waiting for him to say just that

my team crapped the bed

use the words “scary,” “Carson,” and “Palmer” in the same sentence?

The only time that should happen is if that same sentence also includes the phrases “3-team parlay” and “my kid’s college fund.”

Matt Schaub is out for the year with a foot injury.

1) Manning is a damn good QB, true, but I think this season illustrates more that he is the Colts’ MVP than the MVP of the entire league. Just because a team builds its entire offense around one guy doesn’t make him the MVP. (No offense to Forte.)

2) About time.

3) Tebow still looks like a TE lining up as a QB for a trick play to me. I think teams are going to figure him out pretty quick, unless the Broncos put together a top O-line.

4) The way their seasons have gone, who can tell?

5) No.

6) Yeah, the Niners are surprisingly legit this year. And they still have most or all of their NFC West games remaining. If the Pack drops a couple of games they might have a challenger for the top seed – as weird as that sounds when you’re talking about the Niners.

7) That’s because Babin made them all sniffle about the Bears.

8) I think many teams want to be the one to say “We shut down Hester.”

9) It’s the Browns, these things are unfortunately expected.

10) You knew Brady and co. were going to administer a beating just by all those pregame headlines like “Will the Patriots lose three in a row? Will the Patriots miss the playoffs?”

1.) If your not playing, your not MVP, who knows, as bad as the Colts are this year they might need more than just Manning to stay above .500
2.) I don’t know whether to take the Raiders too seriously after that debacle against the Broncos, but yes, Carson Palmer is a massive upgrade over… pretty much every QB they’ve had since Rich Gannon, damn it’s been awhile, lol
3.) Not sure what to say about the Broncos, aside from their old school offense. I’m no Tebow hater, the guy just knows how to pull out wins, and that’s all that matters sometimes
4.) I don’t know, the way this season has gone, nobody has been consistent aside from Green Bay, and even they have been cutting it close the past couple of games (except for tonight, back on track)
5.) No you can’t take the Ravens seriously, not with Flacco at the helm. He can be damn good at times, but others he can be just atrocious…
6.) I’ve been believers in the 49ers since Week 3, because one, they have an excellent defense, and two, because I remembered they play with that awesome defense in the NFC West
7.) The only time I remember anyone missing a team meeting for oversleeping was Ricky Williams during his pothead years, for some reason, I feel like this has excuses written all over it
8.) I’m glad they do too, especially when it accounts for a sometimes dysfunctional offense
9.) It’s the Browns, so you know it can always get worse
10.) You can never count the Pats out of anything, and that’s why everybody hates them, that’s why I hate them, why can’t they just pull an Indianapolis Colts and go 0-10 for a change?
