Let's get this straight Nihilism. This thread was purely out of interest in Hsyne.
And since ur an avid NFL fan, I welcome another person to converse with. There is no use me opening a thread about Green Bay v San Fran coz there are very few people who truly follow the sport.
And u have to admit, as u wanted. " proof", there were 3 quotes from different journos wanting to see more . I read the San Fran chronical daily re 49ers and more out of genuine interst in Hayne for a variety of reasons. It was as though u found it offensive that the mere suggestion that Hayne get a crack in front of rookies. Well, it came over that way.
So all Nonesense aside , the 49ers at least had a crack in defence today and their secondary was MUCH better than the last few weeks. But yes, part of CK's form and Hyde's regression can be blamed a poor o line. I actually don't mind Hyde as a RB and was looking forward to seeing him this year with Gore going to indi.
By the way , I don't follow the. 49ers, but more so just a CK fan. Having Hayne go there was an added bonus. I know full well Hayne is not a RB, but aftersking a few decent runs from RB including a reception and good yards after the catch, it woukdve been nice to see him get a bit of time the following week instead of being basically shelved for Davies who leapfrogged him. He was never going to get many opportunities today with rogers potentially going up and down the field.
As far as my loyalties, well they depend on where my wallet takes me. I honestly didn't expect the Patriots to come out firing like they have, especially with some important personnel change in defence. Whether they can keep that up remains to be seen. This time last year from memory the chiefs towelled them up in Monday night footy and people questioned Brady.
I am in with Green Bay and hope like hell they can keep winning to secure home advantage in the finals.
How bad are Miami? They had so much hype over sighning Su. I watched them play Washington in wk 1 and their defense was torn apart by washingtons running game and their offense was inept. I wasn't surprised the Jags beat them the following week.
As silly as this sounds, I backed Cincinnati a few weeks ago at $31 to win the bowl . I know Dalton's play - off record but I can't help but like their receivers and just think one day Dalton may come good. They started the year the same way last yr though so it will prob happen again. I thought phili and colts ( with their o line deficiencies ) woukdve looked a lot better but are crap ATM.
