2017 NFL Week 4

[backrow]

Eh, after all those years hoping for some sort of change, it's changing alright, but fot the worse. I think I'm done. McCaffrey undergoing what almost looks like a sabotage campaign from his own team and all the kneeling and other ********...

Even here it's all we talk about anymore, since it's so prevalent at the moment.

I hear you. The good news is that many fans feel the same way.

McCaffery is being used more as a decoy than actually utilized in the offense.

 

[Leonardfan]

Bears have benched Glennon to throw Trubisky into the dumpster fire that is their offense.

 

[WHITE NOISE]

I will henceforth refer to Christian McCaffrey as decaf to honor his role as team decoy. It's a shame to the Panthers how they are wasting the talents of the most gifted running back to ever come out of college. But I don't see things changing anytime soon, especially if the Panthers continue to eek out wins with their washed-up black quarterback against ineffective defenses like the Patriots fielded yesterday.

 

[La France Blanche]

Maybe this shooting in Vegas will knock some sense into the thick skulls of the crybaby anthem protesters and make them realize they aren't the center of the universe.

If they kneel tonight it'll look really petty.

 

[Shadowlight]

Great point. The code of human conduct dictates these thug patrol ******** should stand for the National Anthem and no kneeling before hand either. Will they act like human beings?
Also worth pointing out another in a growing line of huge massacres aimed at white people.
One more ad on--reports are multiple police officers were killed or injured during massacre. If you thought the backlash was heated before if they pull their little piss on the flag routine tonight expect all hell to break loose.

 

[PHillisFan]

I guess I shouldn't be surprised regarding the Deshaun Watson hype. On average black qb's tend to explode and post big numbers their first year in the league. We have witnessed this over the years. Watson might continue to post good stats, but I don't expect him to have the same success next year. I thought he would be taji boyd 2.o, but he's looking more like Vince Young, and we all know how that ended.

 

[Leonardfan]

Cousins drove the Redskins down and delivered a great pass for the go ahead TD and the Redskins first round pick in 2016 Doctson drops it. Chiefs march down the field and kick the winning field goal.

Yeah both Cousins and Smith had solid performances. Both qb's made a lot of plays with their feet. Cousins threw what would have been game winner, but of course the frail Doctson could not hold on to ball on way down.

 

[Thrashen]

Travis Kelce, the only reason to care about last night's MNF contest (aside from a few Redskins defenders) had 7 catches for 111 yards and a TD last night. That's 2 out of 4 games with 100+ receiving yards.

To be honest, I'm not a big fan of Kelce's personality. He wears diamond earrings, he talks like a wigger, he's a cheap shot artist, he's constantly drawing unsportsmanlike conduct penalties for his bonehead meltdowns, and his post-TD "Zulu dance routines" (see video below) disgust me. Nevertheless, the DWF's only see a white man humiliating black defenders, so the buffoonish wigger certainly servers his purpose...

Kelce, Ertz, and Gronk could all go over 1,000 yards this season...as could Nelson, Thielen and Hogan. CF has a long and detailed thread about white pass-catchers eclipsing the 1,000-yard mark dating back about 35 years. There has never been more than 4 whites to accomplish the feat in any given year. This year, even with Beasley and Decker rendered irrevent, we could have as many as 6...

On the bright side the Grambling Raiders lost and maybe will go on a losing streak the rest of the year. There are some here who want white athletes to commit career suicide, well I think that is stupid, but it would benefit them to at least read CF and understand what they face and always keep that in mind. Instead whites end up acting like wiggers, cucks or Opies like Toby did coming out of college.

 

[Shadowlight]

First last night's game and a few words about week 4. Jon Gruden was a little muted last night but with his brother coaching the Redskins ESPN puts him in a awkward spot. And to boot his son is on the Redskins staff too so I can see why Jon isn't himself during Redskins games.I wouldn't want to announce a game a brother of mine was coaching.
As for Thrashen's point about Kelce, he does have a habit of picking up non sportsmanship penalties and Gruden even referenced it last night as Kelce narrowly escaped getting one called on him. That said the guy is incredibly gifted and in terms of raw talent among the best TE's I have ever seen. He is essentially a hybrid WR/TE and he was superb last night. In the crucial moments of the game last night QB Alex Smith rolled out to his right and threw a perfect sideline pass to move the ball way up the field. While the media has softened a bit on Smith who for some reason has been a media whipping boy for most of his career despite the fact he wins (apart from a Super Bowl), this is his 13th season in the NFL. And look at the guy. He handles the ball with dexterity, was basically perfect last night as he rallied his team from a come from behind win, and he looked as FRESH AS A DAISY. 13 years on and he is running around with the grace and smoothness of a 20 year old player. In a nutshell unlike most aging QB's Smith has not lost his top flight athleticism or fluidity. A true natural athlete who still burns defenses with his legs. I think QB Carson Wentz is a lot like Smith when it comes to that easy fluid athleticism that is built to last. On defense LB Frank Zombo played better than I have ever seen him play and S Daniel Sorenson proved once again he is a legitimate starting S in the NFL.
Like Kelce is for the Chiefs some players in my mind are essential to teams like Edelman for the Patriots. Same goes for LB Sean Lee of the Cowboys who Gruden said was the heart and soul of the team. Lee didn't play Sunday and guess what the Cowboys defense was a mess.
Like Leo I am concerned the Bears are rushing QB Trubisky. They have a pathetic receiving corps so it will be an uphill climb. Just have to hope he stays intact and keeps his cool. The 49ers need a QB and once they do I suspect that offense will get in synch with players like WR Trent Taylor and TE George Kittle. An average week overall that seemed worse on the surface. I can't stand this Anthem stuff but some LB's had some monster games like future HOF Luke Kuechly and the Bengals Nick Vigil which were mentioned above by Freethinker. And to me Clay Matthews is moving better this year than last and Jordy has been playing well so far which always puts a smile on my face.
As for McCaffrey I am not worried. They just need to get in the playoffs but with that clod Cam that is no sure thing. I suspect CM will get unleashed at some point this season.

 

[The Hock]

I had wondered what happened to Zombo post Packers. Nice to see him contributing on the Chiefs.

No need to worry about Trubisky now - the Bears promote WR Tre McBride from their practice squad. Meanwhile the WR that Trubisky has great chemistry with - Tanner Gentry remains on the PS. It would make too much sense for the Bears to allow Gentry and Trubisky to be on the field together and give Trubisky a reliable target. Of course if Gentry were black this wouldn't be a conversation.

In related news, Buffalo brings back Philly Brown instead of promoting O'reilly. I hope O'reilly becomes a top target for next qb whether Peterman or someone else.

I had wondered what happened to Zombo post Packers. Nice to see him contributing on the Chiefs.

In 2010, Zombo started 8 games for the Packers as an undrafted rookie, had 4 sacks, and also had a sack in the Superbowl that year.
Conventional wisdom would suggest the Pack found the book end opposite Clay Matthews, but instead, the following year, they handed the starting job to Erik Walden.

In case anyone is interested, Walden went on to record an astounding 3 sacks in 15 starts in 2011, while Zombo was shown the bench...

 

[celticdb15]

Zombo did break his shoulder blade to start the preseason in '11, but was shown the door shortly thereafter when GB freaked out about having too many pale faces despite winning the Super Bowl the year prior. I was bummed when Zombo was let go, he was a fan favorite in his short time in Wisconsin. Glad he's still playing above average football for a very solid team in KC.
