NFL Thread 12-13

Something boggled my mind near the end of regulation of the Rams-Niners game. The Rams got a first down to set up a 1st and goal at the 4 yard line (or thereabouts) with about 1:13 left at which point they called a timeout. Down 21-17, I found this baffling. Why the hell do you call a timeout and leave more time on the clock for the Niners to go down and kick a field goal should you get the needed TD? Freakin' dumb as hell. How can head coaches be this dumb? No one was in a hurry. They could have called a play walked to the line and snapped the ball at about 45-50 seconds, and if they didn't score, call a timeout with 40 seconds left. It would then be 2nd down and they'd still have one timeout left. I felt this automatically gave the Niners an extra 20-30 seconds they shouldn't have had. God awful clock management that made Andy Reid proud.

You haven't seen the Rams play, have you?
 
Fisher has really helped turn the team around, but I read a lot of comments from Titans fans about how Fisher's teams make sloppy mistakes that cost them games. So far, there have been two losses and one tie that can be attributed to that. If they could just clean up the details, this team could be a good young team. Instead, they leave tackles uncovered in formation, have too many false starts, and mismanage TO's. Still, it's been a better year than last year and as long as the Redskins keep losing, I really like the future.
 
The Rams may be one strong #1 wr away from being a 10-6/11-5 team, no? Wideouts in the 1st are a very risky proposition...YB, would you want them to push hard for Greg Jennings who very likely won't be re-signing in GB?
 
Well that game was the end of Pat Shurmur's career. Went from complete domination to hopeless garbage. Didn't help that Ed Hochuli's crew gave Dallas 10 1st downs from penalties but you just can't coach a game any worse than that. And I thought this guy was good 3 weeks ago. He should have been fired during the bye.

There is a rumor (don't know if it has any legs) that Holmgren will coach the team next year. If it's true he ought to get off his *** yesterday and get down there.
 
The Colts may have the worst special teams on the planet. And Luck needs to quit forcing things. Still, they are hanging in there with the Pats so far.
 
Well they were hanging in there. Now they're just getting their asses handed to them. Oh well, it's not like I expected a lot out of this season anyway. Best for Luck to get all those rookie mistakes out of the way.
 
Von Miller is not the NFL sacks leader with 13. What do you all think his chances are of winning the DPY?

Also Dumervil has 8 sacks (tied for 10th). Does Denver have the best pass rush in the NFL?
Miller -13
Dumervil - 8
Woodyard & Wolfe - 3
Harris - 2.5
Vickerson - 2
Adams, AYers & Trevathan - 1
Mays - .5
#1 team in sacks at 35.
