NFL Talk

[Brown Notes]

The points differential is +26 vs. +17 in favor of the 'gals. They beat the 9ers and Bills who have been killing it. Meanwhile your Steelers got their asses handed to them by Baltimore and just barely were able to pull out a win against the Colts. This season just doesn't look the same for them, last year's start really got them going. There is no way they let the Jags sniff a comeback last year.


BTW Cope if you were paying attention, at all, you would know I am not a Cincy fan. We have already talked about this. Have another cup of coffee.

Oh I thought I was talking to the Bungles fan but instead talking to the Stains fan.. even worse.

Again, we will see but it is 6 games in. Reminder... Green Bay started 3-3 last year...

Want to make a friendly bet on the Bungles vs. Steelers end of season record?

This is an interesting perspective from the guy who drives the Alex-Smith-is-a-bust train.

What do you mean?

Oh please, I think what you're trying to do. don't even start with that nonsense. I, like most on this board, gave Alex a good 4 years before the bust stuff started. I think we all knew the niners were horrible. But even with pieces around him, Alex Smith doesn't look very good.

Give Bradford another year or two. Give him some more pieces. Then, we'll see what type of player he truly is.

Until then, stop taking cheap shots.

Cheap shots? Sorry. I didn't intend to hurt your feelings. I must have misinterpreted your constant harping on the subject for several seasons, and your apparent desire to remove him from football, bind him, and burn him at the stake, in front of the entire village, as an example.

My bad.

You need to give Harbaugh a call. You must see something he doesn't. I'm sure he could use your insight.

That all may be true, but the Steelers made the Superbowl last year and have most of the people from that team on this years team. Yes, they are old farts, but I would still take them in a playoff game vs. the Bengals.

Huh?

Have you seen his stats? Those who want to talk Alex up haven't seen his stats.

The resurrgence or Frank Gore combined with that dominate defense and better O-line and a competent HC is what's turning the niners around. It isn't Alex.

I waited more than just two years to name Alex a bust. Give Bradford the same standard you're holding Alex. Give Bradford a good 4-5 years before calling him a bust (which is what I and most on this board did).

Speaking of hurt feelings, you're the one that brought up Alex Smith when talking about Bradford. Seems like you're the one with hurt feelings. Bitter much?

 

[Bronco70]

Huh?

Have you seen his stats?

Yes, I have. I don't, however, recall making any declarations about Alex, one way or the other.

The resurrgence or Frank Gore combined with that dominate defense and better O-line and a competent HC is what's turning the niners around. It isn't just Alex.

There, I fixed that for you. For the record, I agree completely that the defense and improved play of the O line are largely responsible for the Niner's fortunes as of late. Your assessment of Alex's contribution is, well... your assessment. And it is exactly what I would expect from you.

I waited more than just two years to name Alex a bust. Give Bradford the same standard you're holding Alex.

Just as I have never declared Alex a success, I have not declared Bradford a bust. You are inventing an argument and projecting it on me. I just thought it was funny (not HA HA funny, but ironic funny) that you are so willing to cut Sam slack for his environment, when you were completely unwilling to do so for Alex. That's okay, we all have our biases.

Speaking of hurt feelings, you're the one that brought up Alex Smith when talking about Bradford. Seems like you're the one with hurt feelings. Bitter much?

No, in fact I've been pleased with Alex's progress. Look, I am in agreement that he has not panned out as a #1 overall pick should. I conceded that point long ago. And perhaps that's where you see him as a bust. I look at it a little differently. I don't believe Alex has hit his ceiling. With Harbaugh on board, I believe he still has a lot of upside. It's a shame that we had to wait 6 seasons and still have to say "time will tell", but I hardly believe that Alex can be singled out for that.

And again, I never commented on Bradford. I agree with you that he cannot be held responsible for being thrust into a **** situation.

Alex Smith is winning games for the Niners.. he is managing the game and NOT turning the ball over. Any BYU fan or Utah fan should know what turnovers lead to. Doesn't matter if you have the best QB in the league if you turn the ball over.

I don't bet on the 'Gals, or on rookie QBs. It's a fact they have performed better through 6 weeks than the Steelers. I do think they will beat you at least once this year.

Like any Piss fan I wouldn't expect you to give any credit to anybody that knows the difference between the colors yellow and gold. But I can. Cincy looks to have hit on not only Green but Dalton has been pretty damn good for a rook. They have a ton of talent all over their front 7 and have been beating good teams. They've gotten rid of their primadonna WRs and QB drama and not only are better but now have 2 extra high picks to show for it. That's a team on the rise.


Pitts can get better and Big Rape will win games for them that they otherwise should lose. They are still getting rushing yards. But they are not the same neck stomping group from last year. There are serious flaws. That OLine is really shaky and LeBeau's D cannot continue to give up 4.6 yards per carry and expect to keep winning while the offense can't even produce 20 points per game.

This team just flat out doesn't look like the 2010 Steelers at this point.

And that's where you're wrong. Apparently you've missed in the past two posts that I waited a good 4-5 years before calling him a bust. I think we should do the same with Bradford.

Save you cheap shots for Conan or Duck. I'm sure Conan is up for another "fight." He lifts weights.

I'm done discussing this. Continue bringing up Alex while we're talking about other QBs if you want. But, I want to discuss football.

That's the one thing that infuriates me about the Palmer trade. They actually got 2 1st round picks for being A-holes for the sake of being A-holes.

Thank goodness. Your army of straw men were really starting to get on my nerves.
