Episode 71 – Return of the Spider 2 Y Banana

October 29, 2014

Percy Harvin to the Jets, followed by a 6 turnover embarrassing loss to Buffalo. Now 1-7, only Oakland is worse. Almost time to clean house, but look at the core of this team:
Harvin, Decker, Kerley w/ Amaro, Cumberland. Chris Ivory, Bilal Powell, D’Brick, Mangold
Demario Davis, the SONS of Anarchy
Just need a secondary, couple of pieces on O-line and a damn QB. They will probably be in a position to draft Winston or Mariota.

John Gruden rumored to be heading back to Oakland. Think he’ll be successful? Been away for a long time.
last coached in 2006. since leaving oakland, their head coaches have included:

The Bears are a disgrace. Despite having B-March, Alshon Jeffery, Bennett and Matt Forte, as well as a better than average QB, they just fell to 3-5 and are tied for last place in their division with the Vikings. To make matters worse, they just got beat down by the Pats 51-23. To make matters even worse, Lamarr Houston, DE for chicago, tore his ACL celebrating a sack of NE BACKUP QB Jimmy Garoppolo during the 51-23 loss.

Cowboys lose to Colt McCoy on Monday night. Colt proving some people cough-Browns-cough wrong by dismissing his ability to play in this league?

Steeler beat the Colts behind Big Bens 522 yards and 6 tds. 4th most yards in nfl history in a game. AFC North features 4 teams over .500.
-Suddenly the AFC looks competitive. Only 4 teams in conference are under .500 mid-way through the season, compared to 9 in the NFC, including the entire NFC South! Panthers at 3-4-1 are winning that division. We talk about it a lot, but is it parity, or a shift in the balance?

Cards beat the Eagles and improve to 6-1 and the top spot in the NFC. That would mean the road to the super bowl goes through Arizona. Do you happen to know where the superbowl is being held this year? Can they do it? If they do it, behind Drew Stanton and Carson Palmer, what does it say about all the talk regarding needing an elite qb to win a championship in this league?
