LOSERS ASSEMBLE IN SMALL GROUPS AND COMPLAIN ABOUT THE COACHES AND OTHER PLAYERS - WEEK TEN 2009

love ray rice

"eric mangini...shakin' his head"

tirico: "eric mangini.. shaking his head"

Honestly I would just like ESPN Esoterica, devoted to random foreign sports.

I totally got into watching olympic handball in 2008, which was kind of a cross between dodgeball, basketball and soccer. Why the hell that isn't a huge commercial sport is beyond me.

everything since the 1pm games ended -> smh

*rolls eyes, goes back 2 studying*

so predictable

HA, check this out. I think the NBA needs this kind of press release.

Media release from the Australian Football League 4:21 PM Tue 10 November, 2009

THE AFL has welcomed Tuesday's statement by the Victorian Commission for Gambling Regulation (VCGR) about the integrity of AFL matches.

The VCGR said not only was it satisfied that sufficient measures are in place to safeguard the sport’s integrity but the AFL had exceeded the VCGR’s own benchmarks.

AFL General Manager Legal and Business Affairs, Andrew Dillon, said it was happy to assist the VCGR with its inquires after it wrote to the AFL in August seeking its views.

“The AFL welcomes the VCGR’s statement and its support for the range of measures we have implemented to safeguard the integrity of AFL matches,” he said.

“The AFL has worked diligently to strengthen our procedures that protect the integrity of the game and we want to assure all clubs, players and supporters that we will continue to do so.”

(Steven Hauschka missed PAT)

this guy is trolling right?

Hahaha I thought the AFL Draft Machine was for like the Mel Kiper Jr./Chad Ford of AFL. I guess it is sadder to have AFL Mel Kiper Jr. than to have Fantasy AFL, though.

Of course there is a blocked XP.

this team

X-POINT BLOCK WILL COME BACK TO HAUNT THE RAVENS

Guys, I started that kicker. I needed 2 points from him to win in fantasy. So far he's given me -3.

Yeah but in anti-fantasy he prob has 1 million points (unless blocked XPs do not count as missed XPs).

yeah this is the final week of the hauschka experiment for me--i was like there's no way a kicker can be THIS bad, right?

w t f

what a terrible offense

My all-time standard for poor special teams was a freshman high school football game--admittedly, featuring a kid who probably had kicked for like four days in his entire life--where the punter struck the ball too high up, which made it sail directly over his head and out of the back of his own end zone. It was AMAZING.

i can't believe this offense

xp hahahaha that rules

The AFL draft machine is even better, as you can pick a position, go for a skill than add in TALL and it wills show you who your club should draft.

THANK GOD

ONLY TWO TD'S DOWN

Jesus, hauschka. You SUCK

i know right! if he missed it i was gonna be behind again

Average Gain Per Play 2.9

i can't even fathom how a group of "professionals" could end up with this result - it literally boggles the mind

yeah.. a few min ago gruden and jaws gave up & basically said the reason the browns offense doesn't work is because nearly all the players are terrible

I saw a kid get kicked out of a JV football game for kicking a kid in the nads after he said they were "biting" him at the bottom of a pile. I was next to the coach when it happened, the ref came over and said to our coach, "Number 32 is ejected from the game, he kicked the boy in the groin." I swear I have chuckled about that scene for years.

I'm currently tied in my fantasy game (tho I have more points on my bench - tiebreaker). He needs to not miss any more kicks this game.

Hahaha Mike and Jaws are like "Forget it Gruden. It's the 2009 Cleveland Browns offense."

i'm glad all these youth football disaster stories are coming out for this browns game

Sad thing is that Cleveland actually has the basis for a decent defense.

I'm wondering if some of these clubs are just trying too freaking hard on offense. Just set them up in an I and run a classic offense. If you don't have Brady or Manning, you don't have to try and set it up like you do.

longtime browns dude here switching my allegiance to mordy's fantasy team

can they really be called screens if no one blocks?

to put that 2.9 number in perspective:

last year the lions lost to the saints 42-7 to go 0-15. they started dan orlovsky, who finished the game with a QB rating 24.7. and yet they still managed to average 4.6 yds per play.

bubble screens and quick screens were a good innovation for the nfl but the PENDULUM HAS SWUNG TOO FAR

my team is america's fantasy team

you can't really run bubble/quick screens when your WRs are not quick and have zero potential to make a guy miss - you might as well just kneel the ball at that point

GO MORDY

what is this offense even called when you call a weird motion or fake end-around on every run? do they do this in the college game?

Maybe at Air Force.

the fake end around is to try and stop backside pursuit

these poor, poor humans

Brady Quinn looks so overwhelmed every time they show him running off the field.

the fake end around is to try and stop backside pursuit

i know what it's for but i have never seen an nfl team run this style of offense

they must have no faith in their offensive line to block ppl? idk, i'm not watching the game

the 07 QBs are so dreadful

JaMarcus Russell QB LSU 1 1(1) Oakland
Brady Quinn QB Notre Dame 1 22(22) Cleveland
Kevin Kolb QB Houston 2 4(36) Philadelphia
John Beck QB Brigham Young 2 8(40) Miami
Drew Stanton QB Michigan State 2 11(43) Detroit
Trent Edwards QB Stanford 3 28(92) Buffalo
Isaiah Stanback QB Washington 4 4(103) Dallas
Jeff Rowe QB Nevada 5 14(151) Cincinnati
Troy Smith QB Ohio State 5 37(174) Baltimore
Jordan Palmer QB UTEP 6 31(205) Washington
Tyler Thigpen QB Coastal Carolina 7 7(217) Minnesota

Kolb is good, but never plays!

Stanback's a WR now, so there's that.
