Early games....

Marty Mornhinweg: Screwed things up in Detroit and screws em up in NY. Calls a time-out at last second and negates a jets TD that would have tied the game up.
 
Watched the Cardinals-Giants game and the refs were driving Patrick Peterson crazy. Announcers (John Lynch) asked why anyone would want to play corner in this league anymore, because there is no longer anyone that is a "shut down corner".
Said that most of the calls were ticky tack. Welcome to the new NFL.

that's a bunch of bullshit, considering that there ARE shut down corners who simply do their job and go home at the end of the day. I believe Revis is one. Why, he shut down Mike Wallace las....oh.
 
gore just got robbed of 54 yd run bs holding call on Bodin.
WHY NOT JUST MAKE THE LEAUGE FLAG FOOTBALL AND CHANGE THE FIELD DIMENSION TO MATCH THE PASS 1ST CFL'S 110 YD 15 YD ENDZONES.
THESE REFS SUCK

yeah that holding call made me laugh.
 
75% chance Brandon Marshall won't play huh? **** You Adam Schefter.

heard that.
I started DeAndre Hopkins in his place. not a bad option, but...

and Kaepernick is throwing so many INTs right now that even Ike is wondering "WTF?"
 
I wish the Steelers could have had a shot at Fuller in the draft.
 
I felt for sure Fuller was going to be who we took at 15. I know it is only second game of the season but looks like the Bears may have found a good one.
 
Holy ****, way to go, Bears! Down 17-0 and with their recieving corps basically limping around, they took it to San Fran in the 2nd half. Kyle Fuller looked awwwwfully good tonight;)
 
Bears are so dumb for drafting a CB in the first. Don't they know that you can get great DBs in round 6? The first round is for drafting front 7 players who do not fit your scheme.

Bears took Fuller one spot ahead of us. He wasn't available for us to draft. Dennard (Cinc. 1:24) was injured for game 1 and made his debut today. He had a head turning 1 tackle, no passes defensed and no interceptions. Verrett (SD 1:25) has seen some action in both games. He has 9 tackles, 1 pass defensed and no interceptions. Roby (Den 1:31) has done the best of the first round CBs that would have been available at 1:15. He has 13 tackles, 2 tackles for loss, 3 passes defended and 0 interceptions.

I don't see the problem in passing on Dennard or Verrett at this point. I guess a case could be made for Roby, but I don't recall too many people wanting him as a Steeler prior to the draft.

Point is, the first round CB who had 2 interceptions and looked fantastic tonight was not available when we picked. The others may go on to have fantastic careers, but at this point they are a work in progress. As is Shazier.

It's the player they drafted, not the position. Fuller was the guy I wanted, be interesting to know who they had ranked higher out of Fuller and Shazier.

I think I read at the time, that they had targeted Fuller as the only CB they wanted in round 1. With him gone, they took Shazier. I can't remember if it was something just stated on here as speculation or from some other story (which I would presume is still speculation).

I think you are right. If I remember correctly, yeah a big if, I think Fuller was training with Ike's speed coach in Florida and Ike was talking to him about coming to the Steelers. I actually think he was their first round choice till he got grabbed. I also seem to remember that the team thought (speculation) that one of the remaining top corners would be available when they picked in the next rounds they weren't.
