Nfl Regular season thread ( week 5 )

Campbell played pretty well, although he is still hesitant on letting it rip on the deep ball.

Just can't help yourself huh?

Let's go around the league and look at what several former Redskins did in todays action for instant analysis:

The most polarizing former Redskin, Jason Campbell, came in in relief of Bruce Gradkowski, and went 13 of 18 for 159 yards and a touchdown and was able to be efficient in guiding Oakland's first win against San Diego in their last 14 tries.

A backup to our former backup running back/special teams standout Rock Cartwright was inactive in Oakland's win over San Diego.

A former backup to Clinton Portis by the name of Ladell Betts had his fumble returned for a touchdown in Arizona's suprising upset of New Orleans. He also had 44 yards on 10 carries for a 4.4 yard average.

A former cornerback of ours by the name of Justin Tryon didn't do anything of note in the Colts win over the Chiefs.

A former receiver of ours by the name of Brandon Lloyd had 5 receptions for 135 yards and 2 touchdowns, including a very impressive dive on a deep bomb for a touchdown at the end of the first half (seriously wtf, he's ballin it up now) in Denver's defeat at Bawl'more.

And last but not least (as far as I know), our 2007 late season hero Todd Collins went 6 of 16 for 32 yards and 4 interceptions (for a 6.2 qb rating) before he was pulled for the awesomeness that is Caleb Hanie in the Bears demolition of the Panthers. On a side note how bad are the Panthers really if TC gives them 4 interceptions and they still lose that bad?

EDIT: Due to mild confusion on my behalf (see below post), apparantly Rock Cartwright blocked a punt for the Raiders in their win over San Diego.

Rock blocked a punt today

The Panthers offense is terrible. Their defense is pretty good. The O just gives no help at all.

Skins win again , Dallas chokes again and Monday is a holiday = a great weekend :)

Just can't help yourself huh?

He could have taken a chance with Heyward-Bey, but he pulled it down. Even Wilcots mentioned it.

Rock blocked a punt today

I thought he recovered the blocked punt for a touchdown at first because I heard his name mentioned and then I saw the #31 and assumed it was him on NFLN's highlights (apparantly not, it's S Hiram Eugene) and I was under the impression he had the recovery, but when I checked on ESPN.com under their stats page for the game he wasn't listed under the fumble section so I clicked his name on Oakland's page on ESPN.com and it said under his season stats that he did not play or accumulate any stats, hence why I came to the assumption he was inactive. Either way that's my b, I assumed the announcers just got the name wrong on the NFLN highlights show once I saw that Hiram Eugene was #31. Just a little mixup on my behalf.

Yeah Rock is #25 in Oak.

He could have taken a chance with Heyward-Bey, but he pulled it down. Even Wilcots mentioned it.

Nope can't help yourself.

I was trolling the blogging the boys site after the loss and their freakin hilarious. The first thing they say after the loss is "its not Romo's fault", protecting they mancrush on an overrated, certified POS QB who's never won sh*t. The second thing they say is "how can such a talented team be so bad" or my favorite comment I read "this year the good teams are bad, and the bad teams are good." People were actually agreeing with the latter. That team is sooooo lost right now...Jason Garrett is freakin horrible. Wade is never gonna win them a superbowl. And the talent level on that team is completely overrated, starting with their LBs and CBs

The good teams are bad, and the bad teams are good. That's freaking hilarious.

You are who you are. Dallas is playing like total shit and their 1-3 record proves it. If it looks like a turd and smells like a turd....
