Dude, give it a rest.

Yay, Chiefs will use their top 5 pick on another defensive lineman who proves to be absolutely useless.

Most all of the incidents you see on the sidelines between players and players and players and coaches are when a player makes a mental mistake that has likely been gone over numerous times the week of practice.

What happened on Thirsday wasn't that. It was a LT that simply got beaten by a better player physically. Not much a guy can do when he is up against a superior player, and when the OC doesnt slide some help over, its hard to blame the player. Cutler got on a guy who was already down because of his limited abilities vs Matthews.

That's the difference and that's why Cutler is looked upon as a very poor leader.

Also, i would say that Cutler made numerous errors that game as well, and how would he have liked it if one of is receivers came up and berated him on national TV? He would lose his mind.

Dude simply doesnt get it.

See, that would make sense to a fan of another team, sure. Anything to make Cutler sound like an ass i guess.

However if you did watch the team on a regular basis, you would know that Webb has not an ounce of heart when it comes to football. I know lots of players need to shake it off and forget the last play, but Webb just simply doesnt care. The fact that he laughs it off on the sideline minutes later says it all, he has not fire to compete. One would think after giving up his 4th sack he would be down, but no he was still ho-hum about it, along with the numerous times he gave up sacks and runs stopped in the backfield against Indianapolis last week. He simply doesnt care.

Also, FYI, it was noted that Cutler was not yelling at Webb about the numerous sacks he made, but about the false start that cost them a series as they went from 2nd and short to 2nd and 8.

So no, Bruschi did not say it best.

All speculation and conjecture on your part.

Cutler has a repuatation that he earned all by himself. As such when he goes off once again, its part of his MO.

Nothing to do with "fan of another team", and everything to do with what is well known all around the NFL and has been for years now.

Eagles are shooting themselves in the foot today with these turnovers.

Eagles are pure enteratinment no matter if you cheer for them or not...always something happening.

No idea what the Raiders are doing out there, have given the ball to McFadden just 7 times while having Palmer throw the ball almost 30 times in one half?

Fins doing a great job stopping the run but Palmer has all day to throw and he is finding open receivers all over the field.

[Hatter]

Mr. Brady having a tough game. He's actually getting hit occasionally. Hopefully the second half goes better.

Speculation or not, I see no difference between him yelling at Webb for a false start vs Rodgers yelling at Jones for running the wrong pattern. Yes, he gets on his teammates when they make mistakes but so does every quarterback. Im actually shocked he doesnt do it more

fair enough. Im not watching the game, but I do have them on my ticket and am shocked they havent given the ball to their best player more then a handfull of times

[trackercowe]

Nice one Eli. Great runback by Wright though.

Pretty clearly explained in my post about Bruschi.

One is a mental error, one is a guy that simply was beaten by a better player. Also, Rogers didnt physically touch Jones.

[Displaced Flames fan]

I am absolutely stunned at the first 6 quarters of football from the Kansas City Chiefs. Stunned.

Agreed, their defence is New Orleans bad

[saskflames69]

I'd laugh if Arizona got stopped here.

EDIT: nm

[Flickered Flame]

Reggie Bush with 2 rushing TDs in the 3rd qtr. including a 65 yard run, Bush has 129 on the ground and there is still just under 4 minutes left in the 3rd. 21-10 Fins.

[DropIt]

I still dont think the Raiders can win a game depending on Palmer to throw the ball 40+ times a game, which they will be forced to do now that they are down. The Dolphins have their foot on the Raiders throat now.

Palmer - 18/35

[PeteLFan]

How the heck does manning have 2 Super Bowl rings the guys is trash.
