The Buccaneers have benched Josh Freeman in favour of Mike Glennon according to Schefter.

by sodhat Wed 25 Sep 2013, 13:53

PFT running that too:

No point continuing with Freeman.

by **Pr4wn** Wed 25 Sep 2013, 14:00

Tank for Teddy?

by sodhat Wed 25 Sep 2013, 14:06

Wonder if this is the test of who the players didn't like more...Freeman or Schiano. If they keep losing maybe we'll know more.

Looks more and more like Teddy will be #1 overall to someone.

by Thomond Wed 25 Sep 2013, 14:20

Thanks Gregem, you've made shoite out of one of the better QBs Tampa has had with your BS micromanaging.

No other QB in the NFL will be successful in this scheme. Bucs run too many plays out of ISO, asking the QB to have a high completion rate on low percentage passes (go routes usually).

At camp in the summer, you got a sense of Schiano and a bit of uneaze in some aspects it's come to the fore. He should be coaching in college next year hopefully. Freeman will be gone too, think he has been damaged beyond repair but you never know. Mariota or Boyd awaits I think.

by GSC Wed 25 Sep 2013, 16:20

Ultimately Freeman just isn't very good.

by The Mangler US_UK Wed 25 Sep 2013, 16:54

Freeman has disappointed -- he had a good run through part of last season, but was inconsistent. I really expected more from him this year.

Matt Cassel is starting at QB for the Vikings this Sunday according to Tom Brady.

Why do Wembley games always find ways of disappointing me (not that I was exactly looking forward to Ponder)!

by **Good Golly I'm Olly** Fri 27 Sep 2013, 01:55

Couple of horrible 3rd down playcalls by Greg Roman so far.

by **Good Golly I'm Olly** Fri 27 Sep 2013, 02:26

Rich Eisen ‏@richeisen
Frank Gore gashes for 20 and then comes off the field so they can run LeMichael James twice. Mystifying.

Some awful playcalling this half by Roman. Trying to be too cute

by **Good Golly I'm Olly** Fri 27 Sep 2013, 02:33

My god Cortland Finnegan that was two UGLY plays. Yuck

by **Good Golly I'm Olly** Fri 27 Sep 2013, 02:36

Terrelle Brown trying to outdo Finnegan in the most awful CB play stakes

by **Good Golly I'm Olly** Fri 27 Sep 2013, 08:18

After watching that game I dunno whether the Niners found some performance again, or whether the Rams were just that bad.

by cherriesfna Fri 27 Sep 2013, 13:43

Rams looked dreadful, im noticing a trend with the rams now,

terrible season 1-15
promising season 7-9
terrible season 2-14
promising season 7-8-1
terrible season? 1-3

A little bit of both, I think. The 49ers were able to get their running game going, which was key seen as Kaepernick hasn't got much to throw to. They could really do with someone like Josh Gordon in the absence on Michael Crabtree. Not sure Vernon Davis looked 100% last night either.

by NYJ Fri 27 Sep 2013, 14:15

49ers got their running game going against the Colts and Harbaugh decided to abandon it for some strange reason. They stuck with it last night and it came up big. Rams were turgid too, mind you.

by GSC Fri 27 Sep 2013, 14:18

The Rams got run on by Dallas so it's no surprise

TNF needs to go really. I can't remember one good TNF game, teams just don't have time to properly prepare

GSC wrote:TNF needs to go really. I can't remember one good TNF game, teams just don't have time to properly prepare

Agreed. Apart from Thanksgiving that is. Saturday night would be ideal for a game but that is never going.to happen with college football being on too.

by GSC Fri 27 Sep 2013, 15:24

Jury just about in on Bradford at this point. Is he the worst kind of bust, the kind that appears good enough in spots that keeps him at the helm.

by Colan (niner) Fri 27 Sep 2013, 16:45

I don't mind TNF at all, someone that loses will hate it but it's a great time to win and have a mini bye imo, its just all about the matchmaking too, put son some big games then

by adams_legend Sat 28 Sep 2013, 09:05

The Rams are looking really bad this years, looks like we will have to high picks in the draft

by mikeygnfl Sun 29 Sep 2013, 14:22

Vikings vs Steelers game is on Channel 4 until 8pm then it's over to More 4.

by Bull Sun 29 Sep 2013, 19:44

SO disappointing!

by mikeygnfl Sun 29 Sep 2013, 19:49

So the Seahawks are not looking so good away from home. Good game at Wembley with some very nice TDs.

by Take it to the house Sun 29 Sep 2013, 20:10

Ponders probably not getting his job back now, Cassel doing decently! Felton back too makes such a difference to our run game

by GSC Sun 29 Sep 2013, 20:34

Tbf it's easier when AD does something.

Lot of players living off past reputations need purged on the giants and Steelers

by Bull Sun 29 Sep 2013, 20:43

Reckon Ponder gets his job back or not?
If not ill drop him for Cassel.

by GSC Sun 29 Sep 2013, 20:46

Jay Cutler having a very Jay Cutler day

by Bull Sun 29 Sep 2013, 20:48

Indeed.

by BamBam Sun 29 Sep 2013, 20:51

Mcluster's punt return was amazing

by BamBam Sun 29 Sep 2013, 20:52

Oh my god Texans

by **Good Golly I'm Olly** Sun 29 Sep 2013, 20:53

Matt Schaub sucks

by Bull Sun 29 Sep 2013, 20:54

THROW THE BALL TO MARSHALL!

by **Good Golly I'm Olly** Sun 29 Sep 2013, 21:06

Does anybody wanna win the AFC North?!

You know the division's bad when it's completely possible that the Browns could win it with their backup QB. Browns can't even get tanking right...

by **Good Golly I'm Olly** Sun 29 Sep 2013, 21:34

So only the 5 picks for Flacco today. Good to see the real Joe Flacco stand up

by cherriesfna Sun 29 Sep 2013, 21:35

SEAHAWKS SEAHAWKS SEAHAWKS

The comeback kings

4-0

Oh mai gwad

by GSC Sun 29 Sep 2013, 21:36

The Matt Schaub era is coming to an end in Cleveland as Houston throws one away

by Breadvan Sun 29 Sep 2013, 21:38

Another TD by welker. The guys unreal...

by mikeygnfl Sun 29 Sep 2013, 21:39

Seahawks definitely played their 'get out of jail for free' card today.

by **Good Golly I'm Olly** Sun 29 Sep 2013, 21:40

So despite being 0-4 the Steelers still aren't completely out of the division. Looks like 9-7 will win that division this year

by Breadvan Sun 29 Sep 2013, 21:47

Giants are 0-4 too. Who'd thought that?

by Number-25 Sun 29 Sep 2013, 22:00

Haha! Redskins down 14-0 early to the Raiders.

by **Good Golly I'm Olly** Sun 29 Sep 2013, 22:05

Tampa's playcalling just sucks ass

by GSC Sun 29 Sep 2013, 22:08

On the bright side we play the Giants and Bucs next

by GSC Sun 29 Sep 2013, 22:12

Jesus the Broncos failed on 3rd down

by mikeygnfl Sun 29 Sep 2013, 22:16

David Amerson returns the ball for a TD.
