NBA OFF TOPIC THREAD

Oh they could easily go 3-9, the big 12 is no joke this year. Everyone but OU will qualify for a bowl game.

They won't lose out....they aren't that bad.

Luckily I didn't need any points from Higgins this week...

He is frustrating me this season. That's two games where he got hurt early in the game...apparently he played very few snaps Sunday then sat out the 2nd half. Play or don't play....I fucking hate that shit. I have him in a couple money leagues

I won’t be betting on them

 

[Black Adam]

quoting Skip is not the way to look smart or correct

There's a reason why that cat's known as Skip Brainless...

 

[Black Adam]

He's way in over his head. He just can't Hackett......

 

[trojanfan12]

Looking at their schedule....they could go 6-6. And that is no bueno....even in his 1st season

Depends on how they get there.

In Pete Carroll's first season at USC, he went 6-6. They were 2-5, then ended the season with 4 straight wins before losing their bowl game.

Then, he started his 2nd season 3-2...after that, the rest is history.

Then there is fricassee. Clint Eastwood used that one in "PaleRider"

I don't think Venables is another Carroll and I don't think OU will be that patient after losing Riley.

Maybe I'm wrong but I doubt it and if Rhule is available.....I think they make a move for him.

 

[DJ Fieri]

And I was being generous with 6-6.....they could end up worse than that.

Yeah he bitched out

Not saying he's another Carroll. Just that if they close strong, that likely buys him another season.

No one at USC wanted Carroll when he was hired and when USC was sitting at 2-5, the calls for his head were very loud. Finishing strong, calmed everyone down and got him his 2nd season. Sooners fans were all kinds of happy about getting Venables and said he was an upgrade over Riley. They might be reconsidering that about now but closing strong would get them back in his corner.

To be fair though, there were no 49-0 losses in Carroll's 1st season, the 5 losses were by an average of 5 points and 3 of the losses were to teams ranked in the top 12. So that helped the AD to stay patient.

Yeah....it's a bit different....

Mayfield our for a few weeks with a bad ankle....PJ Walker replacing him.

Injury history is definitely stacking up against him...

That Carolina OL isn't very good at all.

 

[Black Adam]

That Carolina OL isn't very good at all.

Yeah, that definitely doesn't help...

Keep thinking the same thing might end up happening to Joe Burrow if the CINCY o-line doesn't get better. Dude's already been hurt badly once...

 

[DJ Fieri]

Yeah....and they went out and upgraded the OL AND he still getting sacked a lot this season

 

[Wamu]

This has to be the most humbling year of BM's life. Gotta say outside of the injury I've enjoyed BM's lousy season.

I'm sure he thought he was gonna put up good numbers this season to show the Browns they made a mistake trading him for a bucket of chicken.

No one is going to panic, OU been doing this a long time. There is absolutely reason for concern though. As for Riley, he is old news it really doesn’t matter. Looking back though, no question though that OU went the wrong direction in his reign there. He didn’t take advantage of what he was given. That is the reason people were hopeful that the ship would be righted.

Steelers Jets Panthers Falcons - they’re all bad teams

stay focused as you were commenting on my comment about the O. Coming into this week's games Carolina and Steelers had above average defenses. That may have slipped some.

I've been kind of impressed with the Eagles and their offense despite not playing a murderer's row of Detroit, MN, Wash, Jville and AZ
