Why? He has a TD pass streak going.

Yates is in now.

It is almost impossible to believe. Four straight INTs for a TD? Anyone know the record or does he now hold it?

He holds the record.

And they plays the Jags next week

Will he play the second half? Will they score 100? All joking aside I read an article that the game could set a record for the largest spread Vegas has ever placed on an NFL game.

But the cowboys exposed the broncos defense today.

If the Raiders and Chargers play at 11:35 ET and no one sees it, did it really happen?

Sure. The Broncos D isn't anything special. What AFC offense can run with Denver? Romo was on his A+ game today and they still lost. The AFC is pretty weak; maybe at full strength NE can run with them in the winter, and maybe Kansas City can run out the clock and force some turnovers.

The thing to look for is Peyton got weaker in terms of arm strength as the season went on last year, but this year he has Welker so that may be mitigated.

He threw a couple wobbly ones today.

The pick was noticeably weak. Again, he may look to Welker/short routes more often but the bread and butter of the offense is the medium range targets/YAC anyways.

They'll lose a couple and go like 14-2 or 15-1 but they'll be the favorites in the playoffs. KC may be able to beat them in Denver if it's cold and they can force turnovers. I actually really like KC so far, though they have had a weak schedule.

Instead of games every Thursday, they should have a game every Sunday night at this time. I'm loving this!

This. So many games at 1 on Sunday there can be one less quite easily.

TF, what do you think about Pryor?

Wait, is it 4 straight interceptions or four straight games with an interception returned for a td? Also did anyone else hear I think it was Phil Sims state that it was ok to horse collar a qb in the pocket?? That can't be right can it? Romo did totally blow it but he was also totally horse collared just a couple plays before.

Don't remember Pryor being such a confident passer in college.

spidernat · « **Reply #794 on:** October 07, 2013, 12:03:54 am »

It's legal. The horse collar rule applies only to players being grabbed by the collar and "ridden" while being dragged down.

Yes, games with an INT for a TD. My bad.

Excellent point Linty. He wasn't at all that. But he stands tall in the pocket and appears very poised (especially for such a young QB and one who did not come up as a pocket passer). He also has a strong arm. He seems like he can become a play maker.

Hmm that's kind of bizarre, usually quarterbacks get more protection than anyone else on the field, not less. K thanks for clarifying.

As a pro? He has shown a lot more this year than I ever thought he would. I thought it was a decent pick in the supplemental draft but thought he would end up a WR or DB. I don't carry much hatred over from the college game to the pros and would like to see him succeed because everyone said he couldn't.

That being said, as a Buckeye, especially one that wantonly broke rules to get tattoos for free I despised him. He was a freak of nature that Michigan couldn't stop, except in 2009, I think, and that game Michigan turned the ball over 5-6 times and held Pryor to less than 100 yards passing IIRC.

I thought being an OSU guy would shade your opinion but I never thought this would come into play. Let's face it, both Michigan and OSU are dirty programs so stop breaking the glass that houses you.

I had totally forgotten that he was a supplemental pick because of all that went on in college.
