Week 11

[Pigeon]

KC - Denver game should be interesting.

Awesome game coming up!

My guess would be...

Gamblers think KC is over rated, they bet on manning. Manning goes down with injury (as hinted with an ankle issue).
KC wins again.

Chargers come in to KC next week, and clean out KC.

Looks like Houston loses 8th. This is a true Houston team.

Charger POWER...

I was watching this game and saw the play. What a break.

Following Sunday's loss to the Eagles, Redskins left tackle Trent Williams said during the game that umpire Roy Ellison called him a "garbage ass" and "disrespectful mother[expletive]."

"When you have a ref come up to while you're at the line, about to run a play and call you [those names], to me, this is a players league, I don't think there's no room for that, to take that from the team and the refs," Williams said. "I think that's very unprofessional. It sucks. I'm at a loss for words. You never expect that as a player going into the game to have to have a beef with the refs also."

He played ball for the Savannah State Tigers.

He is on the Walt_Coleman crew which has seen some controversy.

Holy shit, I found this little GEM.

Robert Griffin III said after the Washington Redskins' 24-16 loss that it felt like the Philadelphia Eagles' defense knew what plays were coming. RGIII's comments were taken as a shot, at least tangentially, at coach Mike Shanahan. On Monday, Shanahan said he viewed the Eagles' success as merely a defensive scheme to take away the pass.

In the last game, RGIII puts up the majority of his points in the 4th quarter. I suspect he started to play his style opposed to the coaches.

In my theory I have RGIII down as a "company man" - paid off by Dallas or the NFL. Now I think it could be the coaches.

Ever heard of the phrase "Holding the horses back..."?

[Pigeon]

As I have mentioned, I do wonder if at times the players are holding back at times. I could see the play calling matching a standard as a weak point easily compromised by the other team. Notice how often the broken play works out well. If a coach often calls plays in given situations then that would really help the other team.

[Pigeon]

If Houston keeps up with the trend they will be setup for a good draft and schedule next year.
