And it's a bit early, but the Buccaneers are leadind 15-0 against the Dolphins.

No. Alex is in Kansas City and is still playing lackluster football. The Chiefs are winning in spite of him. Colin has less than 20 starts and is dealing with other issues that are adding insult to injury. Bad receivers (no more Moss, Walker, or Ginn to stretch the field and keep defenses honest while Crabtree is also hurt) and our offensive coordinator has just been straight up retarded this year.

I don't think so. Maybe a 4th or 5th round pick. He's horrible from what I've seen. He's the guy I least fear heading into New Orleans next week. I would love for the Saints to give him the ball so Willis and Bowman can slam him to the turf. He's big and slow. After the Trent Richardson trade where it looks like Cleveland is going to get the last laugh, the value of high picks for runningbacks is likely to diminish. You can usually tell right away if a runningback has the skills to make it in the NFL. Actually, it's been this way for ages.

Jaguars still have a chance for the number 1 pick. Glennon did not look as good as he was last week.

Flacco is almost the same as Big Ben as a player, just like 4-5 years fresher (plus not quite as quick to just hold it and scamper). Main difference is, outside of Boldin and Pitta, he has no receivers who can reliably catch a ball. Bad case of stone hands. But he moves around a lot to extend plays, just like Big Ben did before he got all rusted.

If we end up tying with the Bucs they'll get it. That said, it might be a moot point all together because they may stick with Glennon anyway.

I've never seen Flacco as mobile enough to run for a first down.

Depends if Schiano somehow keeps his job. Glennon was highly coveted by Schiano coming out of high school, but Glennon went to NC State instead. With Schiano and his obsession with "Schiano Men", I imagine that he will push for Glennon as the guy (is he is not fired) if Glennon is halfway decent from here on out.

Now if Schiano if fired, which is the more likely scenario, then Glennon is probably out as the starter. New coaches like their own guys at QB usually, unless the current QB is a franchise player already.

He's run for (in a single rush):

2008 - 38 yards
2009 - 10 yards
2010 - 14 yards
2011 - 33 yards
2012 - 12 yards
2013 - 15 yards

And those are just the "most yards" per season in a single rush. Like I said, he doesn't run as often as Big Ben, since he doesn't need to, but he's more than capable of doing so.

Tennessee seem to have mastered the art of losing close games and they brought back the butt-fumble...Indy must love the utterly confouding state of the rest of the AFC South.

Didn't they have a 2 TD lead early? Last time I checked, Chris Johnson had 13 carries for 80 yards and 2 TDs.

[ReaperxKingx]

Wow, the Texans just went all the way to 3rd place in the draft.

[GDB]

Where do you see that? I'm still seeing Minnesota at third, Atlanta at fourth, and Houston at fifth.

[Mr. DJ]

...I envy these people

Source 1

Among my other sources, it seems to be mix with Minnesota, Atlanta, and Houston. Some of my sources listed Atlanta at 3rd while others is Minnesota at 3rd and so on. One of my surprising source listed the Giants at 3rd. Though I think CBSSports is a good source.

USC upsets NO.4 Stanford (20-17)!


GO TROJANS!!

[sky black swordman]

And so the Raiders beat the Texans (28-23). Matt Schaub and Andre Johnson exchange words after the Texans fail to convert on 4th and 7 deep inside Raiders territory.

Other scores:
The Bills beat the Jets (37-14). (Will the Jets be able to hold on to their wild card spot?)
The Bengals beat the Browns (41-20).
The Eagals beat the Redskins (24-16).
The Steelers beat the Lions (37-27).
The Cardinals beat the Jaguars (27-14). And with this loss (and the Buccaneers 2nd win today) the Jaguars should now have a hold an the first overall pick in the 2014 NFL Draft.
And the Buccaneers get their second win of the season by beating the Falcons (41-28).

[GDB]

No way the Jets keep their spot. I expect either the Dolphins or Ravens take it from them.

Speaking of the Ravens, wtf man. This game won't end.

Tough lost for the Jaguars, however they fought hard and showed hope to the fans. However, the Jaguars should have pass a lot more that game, disappointed that they tried to keep it on the ground.

Good news for the Jaguars, they will have the first pick. I cannot see the Jaguars winning any more games, can put a good fight though. The Jaguars should pick Bridgewater for the first overall pick. Guess my worries are almost gone however, that is wishful thinking.

Well, it's over now and the Bears beat the Ravens in OT 23-20.
