Official Week 8 Thread (Primetime)

Here comes Lendale to vulture another TD?

[MadCityBucky]

This game is SLOW...As long as its a long physical game its cool though.

I don't really mind if the Titans win, hopefully more overconfident when they play the Packers. But I am getting tired of all the Titans talk.

[A.J.]

Nice play calling by Jeff Fisher on the 2 point conversion.

[J.Kim]

I think this is the single greatest TD-Vulture season that I've ever seen. Ever.

He's had TD runs of:
1, 1, 2, 1, 1, 6, 2, 80, 1

He's had 8 TDs in 80 Attempts, while averaging 3.9 yards a carry (largely inflated by the game against KC. Without it he's barely above 3 YPC)

Edit: By 'Him' I'm referring to Lendale, of course.

[J.Kim]

I'm scared.

Why is Fisher going pass-happy with the playcalling. Why not grind out the clock and wear their paper-thin-depth on defense?

[J.Kim]

Red-Zone Offense.

Paging Lendale. Paging Lendale. Time to vulture another TD.

[Geddy]

That last run was too long for Lendale's TD standards.

[J.Kim]

I think, by-far, LenDale has had the most 1-yard TD runs in a season.

And I can also safely say that 9 of his 10 TDs were undeserved. And the other was a run in which the KC defenders gave up on, or else they could have easily caught him.

[A.J.]

Is this his 10th one already on the season?

Wow

[studcrackers]

you're forgetting about his predecessor jerome bettis

[J.Kim]

you're forgetting about his predecessor jerome bettis

I don't think Jerome was ever as Prolific with the 1-yard TDs as Lendale is proving to be.

[Geddy]

Johnson got tired of Krispy Kreme getting all the TDs so he took one in for himself

[MadCityBucky]

About time CJ scored, fatass has been taking all his TD's.

[J.Kim]

I don't think we can call what LenDale does "running" anymore. I think a "waddle" or a "lumber" is more like it.

[Geddy]

well when he had that long TD against the Chiefs, the only thing that could be used to describe his 'movement' was *jub jub jub jub jub...*

i have to much time on my hands not to respond to this

2004 season

week 1 - bettis has 5 carries 1 yard 3 td's all 1 yard runs
week 4 - bettis has 6 carries 9 yards 2td's 1 2 yard run another 1 yard run
week 5 - bettis goes 14 for 34 yards 1 td 3 yards (he was huffin and puffin after this)
week 6 - bettis has 5 carries for 8 yards w/a 2 yard td run
week 8 - vs. NE has 15 for 65 1 2 yard td run
week 10 vs. cle bettis has 29 for 103 (3.6 YPC) 1 1 yard td run
week 12 vs. wash 31 for 100 3.2 YPC 1 3 yard run
week 14 he has a 12 yard td run
week 15 has a 1 yard td run

so all but 1 of his 13 td's were over 3 yards

he had 250 carries for 948 (3.8 YPC) god i hope this guy doesnt get in the HoF, he only had 4 years with a YPC over 4.

[J.Kim]

Honestly. It doesn't look as impressive (heavy on the sarcasm) as what Lendale has done.

1, 1, 2, 1, 1, 6, 2, 80, 1, 1,

6, 1-yard TD runs
2, 2-yard TD runs


8 of his 10 TDs have been under 2 yards.

We're only in Week 8.

[Da Schwab]

Well, I'm officially scared of the Titans. They manage to put up 31 on the Colts, without Kerry Collins having to do seemingly one thing.
