NE has the top spot pretty much wrapped up. can DEN take them down in Jan at NE?

 

[dainthomas]

Arizona and Seattle has to be the game of the week. Go Hawks!

If they keep the ground game rolling, yes they have a chance.

 

[Retro Rob]

Chicago's game versus Detroit is a dangerous one for us, for a few reasons:

Clausen's gonna be showcasing himself for either a starting job somewhere, or a job period. He has nothing to lose, will play looser, take more chances and so on, IMO.

Lions seem to deal terribly with backup and rookie QBs as of late in big games -- this is a big game for us (a win secures at least a wildcard while a lost would possibly force us to win in GB in week 17).

Matty Flynn went freaking Tom Brady on us in 2011 in the last game (I think it was). Chris Wienke came in and played well for the Pathers a few years back when we knocked Delhomme out of a game, and won the game. Mike Glennon played really well in that critical Tampa game we lost last year, and even last week, Teddy B only had 10 incompletions, and we barely beat him.

Don't really trust my team this week. I'd perfer Cutler than Clausen, to be honest...but I think we can pull it out.

The Jimmy Pickle era has begun in Chicago.

Usually I'm in a rush to get dinner from my fiancée's workplace on Thursday nights and take it home so we can watch the game. Think I'll eat hot and fresh food today.

 

[gorcorps]

Yeah it'll be interesting. The offense is very different from the last NE game.

 

[vi edit]

In other news... Harbaugh got offered 48 mil/6 yrs to right the ship in Michigan. That's alotta dimp.

But then you have to live in Michigan. That's like -20 million off the top, right?

 

[Imported]

If he goes back to college, I'll be shocked. I think his agent put that out there to establish his base salary for next year should the 49ers fire him. Don't think he will be traded as everyone knows he is gone next year.

I think that since he almost won a SB, he would rather get a ring first. Its cold here in Michigan during football season anyway, and as far as I've heard, he likes his house in Cali.

Maybe the Bears should go for him, or the Falcons. Smith should be done there.

 

[vi edit]

Raiders are the obvious choice since it keeps him in Cali, but I doubt he wants anything to do with the clown show that is a front office in that organization.

 

[manimal]

The Jimmy Pickle era has begun in Chicago.

tried to make a joke about mark Vlasic but I got nuttin.


Really hoping the bears play ok but still lose. They gotta lose more games than the Giants and the Vikings to move up in draft. I would rather they pick at 7 than 10. At 7 bears have options to trade down and get a good player. Bears could luck out and get a starting OT drop to them. Hell I would even pick Mariotta if he dropped to them.

He started in Oakland so its not entirely out of the realm.. and he's cocky enough to think he can turn them around.

Oakland used to be a team that would take the cast-offs and allow them to again display their skill set.

The coach could turn a group of misfits into a championship caliber team.

 

[smackababy]

I actually don't think Oakland are as bad as their record would show. They did beat some decent teams (SF) and have some close games with others. Harbaugh might actually be able to turn that team around. He took the sub mediocre crap that was the 49ers and almost won a SB.

Hah Don Cheadle...

"The matchups we bring to you on a night like this..."

"You're welcome."

Sarcasm?

Harbaugh would want Bill Belichick type of control...and Oakland is a circus -- on top of that, that's a huge rebuilding process...SanFran was not.

He, just like Jim Caldwell, got a job in which the team was literally one coach away from being competitive -- Oakland (while I think Carr is a good rookie) is about a year away from being a .500 team, IMO.

Unless he's only concerned about his house and warm weather, I don't see him taking that job...especially if the team relocates.

Probably not, but I believe Pittsburgh probably can.
