Studs & Duds - Arizona

Stud: Doubs 2 TDs. Team mates for rallying around him.

I liked the way they gathered around but more or less let him make the first move. Kind of like saying we're here for you brother whenever you're ready.

This is hard to swallow but the data clearly shows The only way our kicking situation is going to improve is if narveson improves. As of oct 14th narveson ranks 33rd out of 33 qualifying kickers in FG %. The guy they had in camp, greg joseph ranks 32nd out of 33 kickers. There are no kickers available that would be any better including Ryland. The only other option would be to try out alex hale, the rookie kicker on the practice squad. We have what We have. At least narveson is better than the guy we had last year who was bad in both FG% and XPs.

Besides following GB ive been keeping an eye on the jets this year just to see how they would do with a top QB at the helm. They lost to the bills 23-20 last night. We’re not the only team with kicking woes. On 2 different FG attempts Their kicker hit the left goalpost on one and the right goalpost on the orher. Neither went in.

I can handle people talking about the cowboys when they suck like this.

Agree.

That was a tough game to watch. I don't really hate the Lions, but given that they are the lead dog in the Packers division, I wanted them to lose. Then my hate for the Cowboys kicked in and I was in a conundrum as to who to be cheering for.

In the end, it all worked out fine, it wasn't a close game, it wasn't a game that either team felt that they should have won. The Cowboys totally got their butts kicked, at home, on Jerry's Birthday no less.

One DUD that I'll toss out there was Jordan Morgan. He gets leeway for being a rookie in his first game back from injury, but the times that I focused on him were bad. He was missing blocks and getting knocked around. I started focusing early in the game because Jacobs got smashed at the line. I kept trying to see who messed up and it was the RG. I assumed it was Sean Rhyan but immediately saw that it was Morgan. Later on when Meyers got injured, the announcers got it wrong when they said that Morgan was just inserted. He and Rhyan were splitting reps all game.

I think he played L tackle in college. If so, wouldn't it make sense if he played L guard? I realize he probably hasn't had many reps there.

The difference between the Vikings and Lions is very thin. The Vikings are experienced and have a solid disciplined defense. The Lions are scarier. They are a team that can physically dominate and unleash their speed. They have a gutty coach that takes risks. They could have easily gone to the SB and presented a challenge for the Chiefs.

I guess we will find out on Sunday, which team is better (at least on Sunday).

If I had to pick a winner of the North and I couldn't pick the Packers, I would say that the Lions are the most complete team. Injuries will play a big role in who wins the North and losing Hutchinson on Sunday didn't help the Lions.

We already have Jenkins holding down LG. Honestly, I think Morgan is a tackle through and through. The coaching staff probably sees enough good from him that they would like something from him in the short are hoping he could take RG and run away with the job. Which makes some sense, as that is the one spot that didn't return last year's starter.

To me, he looks a little weak at the point of attack. Maybe he could grow into a guard. Maybe with a year under his belt, he challenges Walker for LT next year. Hard to say. He isn't a bad pick, just what he's good at didn't line up with our one obvious gap this year.

For me I usually don't start rooting for a vikings or cowboys win until after week 10. I figure until then there is plenty of football left that a win by either of them, even though it might benefit the Packers, is not worth it. If the cowboys were playing the Lions in week 11 and the Lions were ahead of the Packers in the standings I might maybe think about considering rooting for the cowboys. Same for the vikings although the way it looks I might be able to root against them all year long.

Oh, my bad. I didn't realize it was part of a title. Carry on!

Oh thank you I certainly will.


Also, if it’s single title and not a plural Titles… do we go small case?
The recommendations I’m seeing are we can certainly capitalize Titles (plural). It never said capitalize a singular title. What I’m asking that’s been perplexing me is…do I need to go get a second title to be important enough to Capitalize both of them Titles??

Another thing. Should Mr Webster and Mrs Thesaurusis be setting a better example by starting the word “capitalize” with an Upper case “Capitalize” ?? or do we need to increase its importance and set it in motion with a plural act like “Capitalizations”

Just like the Vikings losing Cousins and Hockenson in the past.
