Check his game logs from last year. He had 3 games where he was a big factor, only had 2 games of over 100 yards receiving.

EDIT: Not to mention how terrible he's been this year.

I don't need to check the game logs, as I watched the games. You said he was a non-factor, which isn't true at all. He wasn't terribly effective in every single game, but he did well overall.

And yes, he's been bad this season....but that's with the Bills, who are awful.

I'm not expecting him to be a game-changer anymore, but I'm sure at least he could give Romo another option out there.

And there's the game

Woo! Broncos win! The offence has kinks to work out, but can we all agree that the defence is for real? Not just post game elation, but the best move McDaniels made this entire offseason may have been hiring Mike Nolan.

Who predicted 4-0 start for Broncos?

This defense might allow them to actually compete for AFC West if Chargers have troubles this year.

JohnnyFlame · 10-04-2009, 05:22 PM

Well that is the two worst performances from my two pro team QB's I think I've ever seen. Burris yesterday was a liablity. Romo was as useless as it is possible to be. Every single throw high. Wide open receivers all over the place and he plays like a complete putz. I'd have the backups in for both teams next game. Burris and Romo need a holiday.

5 undefeated teams remaining in the NFL after today:

At 4-0: Colts, Giants, Saints and Broncos

At 3-0: Vikings (playing GB tomorrow)

I would like to see them do it against a legit offense before too much praise gets heaped on them but they are definitely miles better than they were last season and at worst the 10th-15th defense in the league.

I think DFF did, didn't he?

I did! It's documented in this forum...maybe this thread.

I also predicted them to finish 6-10.

OILFAN #81 · 10-04-2009, 05:26 PM

So Patriots @ Broncos next week? That should be a good game.

You're right, poor choice of words on my part. He's not a game-changer anymore. I do think he would've been a good redzone target on that last drive for Romo.

I can live with that level of respect.

New England next week. Thankfully it's in Denver.

Displaced Flames fan · 10-04-2009, 05:33 PM

John Clayton predicted 3-13 for Denver this year. That makes me smile.

No kidding. Williams can't get open and can't catch. One hit and he sits on the sidelines whining for his MOMA. Not that it would matter much with the way Romo is playing. This is going to be a tough year for us Dallas fans.

In your opinion, would I be a complete failure as a sports fan if I bailed on the Raiders?

Nope. Its one thing to bail on a bad team just because they are bad or have had a series of bad drafts/luck etc.

its another to bail on a team that has a guy making the decisions that wont allow things to get better because he is likely clinically insane.

i have NO idea how anyone can stay with the club. kudos to them if they are though.

Brandon Marshall walks into McDaniels press conference and gives him a huge hug. Man, I really hope this is the begining of a beautiful friendship.

I like Pittsburgh to win big tonight.

On a side note, for the CFL fans on here, Cameron Wake had a break-out performance for the Fins today. 3 sacks and a forced fumble.

Flickered Flame · 10-04-2009, 06:19 PM

Seau to sign with the Pats.

We was very good today opposite of Jason Taylor.

Agreed, I think Jauron is done...soon.

As long as teams are still game planning for him, he is a great asset leading to other open weapons.

He's certainly not impressing me this year like I had hoped, but he is a factor even without the ball, IMO. His return skills seem to have diminished greatly...

I certainly respect them, I think their offense is going to cost them.
