Jeff Driskel starting for Lions

[Gatorup!]

Don't forget Jacoby Brissett playing well after coming back from injury in the muschump bashing.

"I have all the time in the world to talk about Jacoby," Zach Pascal said in the postgame locker room. "That guy knows how to play winning football. He just knows."

Pascal wants to talk about the touchdown pass first. The one Brissett threw to Marcus Johnson after pulling a Houdini act by evading the Jaguars pass rush. No one understands just how athletic Brissett is, Pascal laughs. Everyone should have to watch him play basketball. Then they'll understand.

After raving about his hoops skills, Pascal quickly takes the conversation in a different direction. He starts talking about why Brissett means so darn much to the Colts. How they can look like such wildly different teams with and without him.

It's all about the confidence he instills in them, Pascal explains. He calls Brissett the team's security blanket. They're at ease with him on the field.

Announcer mentioned that Brissett was a leader in the locker room, even when Luck was still with the team. Seems that the Gator players who wanted him to be the starting QB at UF knew more than muschimp.

FIFY

Even Stephen A. Smith, who is a complete dipshyt most of the time, said this jackass doesn't want to play, he wants to be a martyr. His "open workout" was grandstanding, at best, and the guy just flat out sucks.

Call it blacklisted or whatever you want to call it, but sometimes you have to be careful what you wish for. Not all attention is good attention.

I guess if you're going to use Smith in your argument, overblown hyperbole is the way to go.

Shambles, I tell ya. Shambles!

Time for thread title change...
"Driskel tells Donkey to suck it, plays a decent game"

Philly dropped at least 3 INTs against Brady yesterday, two in the end zone. Every QB gets away with a few. What’s your point?

No need to get testy. He was just pointing out that Dallas sucks.

F uck Muschump that worthless motherf ucker.

It's like we traded Defenses on Sunday...

Wait, is the argument that he was blackballed and he doesn't suck, or is it that he was blackballed and he does suck?

I wish you'd pick a horseshyt excuse for him and stick with it, even if it's stupid.

It was obviously overturned and didn't matter anyway, but these NFL "catch" rules are absolute garbage. Goddard catches the ball, has clear possession, takes 3 steps, crosses the goal line, calls his mother, and at worst is in a 50:50 situation with the defender as he's on the ground a yard into the endzone...and it's initially ruled an Int.

Just dreadful what's become of these definitions.

I agree with you there, I thought it was a TD... now I can't say I wasn't a little happy it was a INT. But it was about as bad a look for the officials as Wentz's camo dinner jacket he was wearing in the post game presser.

Didn’t it get overturned during review?

 

[soflagator]

Didn’t it get overturned during review?

Yes, and it wouldn't have mattered if it hadn't. I'm just commenting on the principle, especially considering the "indisputable evidence" needed to overturn(see uga game "catch"). If anything, call it a score and then review when the defender actually pulled it out. It was clearly a TD and should've never been called that way.

Could be worse - have you seen the stats on overturning PIs? Leading up to that Texans/Ravens travesty of a non-call/non-overturn, the league had not changed a call to PI on 32 of the 33 challenges - and most were pretty clear. Texans coach even said he doesn’t know what PI is anymore. PI is the new catch rule.

That is why it's only a one year rule for trial.... the officials don't want it to stay. PI is subjective enough.

Officials are too protected. Not even allowed to comment on bad calls without a fine. The PI rule is great - in theory. The nfl application of it has been atrocious.

Haven't watched that many NFL games so far this year, but I've seen one PI no call that Philly challenged with no success. Apparently pulling a WR's arm down as he's trying to make a catch is not PI...even when you have slow-mo video aid and 10 minutes to get it right.

But yeah, I lump all those changes together. Rather than just firing the entire crew from last year's Saints/Rams game, we'll change definitions, add reviews to every game and still get it wrong most of the time. Sounds good.

I'd say that stupid is right up your alley.

There's no argument regarding his being blackballed. That was proven in the suit he won against the NFL. As or sucking, a word you seem inordinately fond of, he's certainly better than many of the QBs currently drawing an NFL salary.

Hey dipshyt, he didn't "win" any suit, it was settled out of court and the NFL admitted no wrongdoing, so where is this "proof" you keep talking about?

Just because his attorneys argued it, doesn't mean it's an absolute truth.

The argument was never that he's better than the Dolphins' scout team quarterback, and doesn't deserve to be in the league in that kind of role, was it? It's whether he brings too much baggage for a team to take a chance on him and him still being an attention whore like he is.

I'll hang up and listen.

suit that he won, being settled out of court isn't won.... many companies settle suits out of court that they would have won in the court of law..... so what suit did he win? What did a $5-10 million dollar payout prove other than he was cheaply tossed aside?

He is right. everything about Dallas sucks, especially the airport.
