Jt : He cant make that throw. JT: no zip on that ball Jt: (insert random weak armed comment here) Jt : Chad is a complete Qb. WTF ?
hey i havent said that. the ESPN crew IS annoying. i didnt say i enjoyed watching the game on ESPN because i think they suck. but obviously they have to say something while watching a replay of chad underthrowing his receiver
I must say that listening to these guys Pennington bash all night was annoying as hell. For awhile when the game was a puntathon, all they were talking about is what was going on with other QB's and players in the league - who cares. Very lousy job of calling the game if you ask me.
We all know Chad doesn't have the strongest of arms, but man did that "he can't make this throw" get annoying because he obviously could have. They didn't take in to account the weather, or the fact that he's made big plays before and just didn't have his A game tonight. Theisman obviously hasn't watched the Jets much in the past because he was saying Pennington couldn't go deep at all, which he can, he just doesn't do often, and that Graham couldn't hold, which is crazy too because other than last week he hadn't messed one up the whole season.
Yes he has a weak arm....blahblah blah.... Look at the Gun we have on the sideline, do you think he would have won us this game. Let these guys talk all this trash, just like people did to Montana (yes dare I make the compairison) CP just wins. I dont care how UGLY it looks (the wet weather made him look eve worse) but when the rain stopped CP was money. Look at some of the accurate throws he made. 3rd down to Smith (FKN on the $$) The pass to "The Mayor" (on the $$) I dont know if a strong arm QB or any other QB could make thoes throws...CP!!!
This was a disgrace! It's been said forever, Chad's arm is not that strong. If these bastards did any homework, they would see some decent QB plays from Chad throughout his career, both before and after his TWO ROTATOR CUFF SURGERIES. That was brought up once. The weak arm talk, ad nauseum was so over the top, and unfair on a monsoon type night. And Kornheiser's My dog has a stronger arm comment was classless! There was 2 Dolphin guys struggling just as much. Do we need someone doing the game (Korn-hole) constantly asking basic football questions every five seconds? "Joe you're trailing here, do you want your team to score points and take the lead?" And who gives a crap if Nick Saban stays or goes to Ala.? Was that worth devoting the whole second quarter to? ESPN sucks! Mickey Mouse is ruining all sports coverage for the real fan!
I'm not even gonna read through these posts right now, but I'm glad to see that there are already three pages. Anywho, MAN were these guys fucking putting me in a pissy mood tonight. Talk about HATERS. I usually like what Joey T. has to say, but his negativity still seemed better than the verbal fucking that Tony K. dished out to the Jets tonight. Only at the END of the game, when it was clear the Jets had ensured a victory, did Kornheiser say anything remotely positive about Chad or the Jets. Not that what any of these guys say matters, but thank goodness there are dudes like Carl (?) Salsbury who point out instances that highlight why some people have called him, Pin-Point Pennington.
If the Jets ever play on MNF again, I will turn down the sound and listen to the radio broadcast of the game.
The ESPN MNF broadcast is the worst in NFL history. They spend more time on non-football BS. Look what we get in the first half - the Williams sisters, interviews with Don Shula, Steve Young, etc. What happened to the GAME. Then the Pennington bashing - did anyone notice it was raining - pouring??? I got sick of it and put the WABC radio broadcast on and the game was enjoyable once again. As for Pennington - all you guys can bash his arm and join in with Korny and Theisman, but you can't deny the guy WINS!! Not only that, but with the game on the line in the 4th quarter, he came through in the biggest game of the year. On the drive to put the Jets ahead 10-7, he completed 3 or 4 3rd and long plays. He threw for about 150 yards in the 4th quarter. He also ran for about 30 yards. Greg Buttle just gave him leader of the game - "without him the Jets don't win tonight. He drove them down the field twice in the 4th quarter." The pass to Smith on 3rd down and the TD pass to Cotchery were perfect. I watched the Denver Cincinnati game yesterday and Palmer underthrew receivers in bad weather as much as Pennington did today. Why not give the guy credit for winning a big game today with 0 turnovers.
I thought about doing that tonight and I regret not doing it. For those defending them, listen, no one can deny that Chad didn't play great tonight, he made a lot of poor throws, but theisman and kornheiser took it too far. They were just bashing him. He made a 14 yard completion to Smith, a nice throw in between coverage, and they make sarcastic remarks that they now know he can throw it at least 14 yards. The deep completion to McCareins was pretty well thrown, didn't have too much air under it and McCareins had to actually reach out to catch the ball, but later in the game they are saying he underthrew it. Or on the pass interference call, he got hit as he was thrown causing the ball to be way underthrown, and they bash him for a weak arm there. And just all this shit about he can't make this throw, or he can't make that throw, well I have to question whether these guys have watched him play much at all besides this game.
phin fans seem to think the same about the commentating...but in a different way. all depends on point of view. see this thread: http://www.finheaven.com/boardvb2/showthread.php?t=175317&page=103 some of the comments: "F'n Tirico was extra happy when the kick went through...D Head" "Kornheiser should stick to PTI and f*ck off.." "Quote: Originally Posted by Brown42000 I think Joe Theismann wants to have sexual realtions with Chad Pennington. i agree. he's still going on and on about him"
The worst broadcasting I've ever heard. Anyone can see Pennington doesn't have a strong arm, and I was even getting frustrated with him in the game, but jeez..... but how long could those 2 jokers beat a dead horse..... They beat that thing until it was hamburger meat. That's not even touching on all the other crap going on with their broadcast that wasn't game related. Horrible!
Theisman and Kornhieser should NOT be on MNF. Who really cares? We got the win and one more to be IN!
The whole CP bashing is like..... the girl your fucking has a busted face, its very obvious, but what an ASS. I can always put a bag on her head and still get the job done!
Well hopefully there's a different MNF crew next year, as for tonight, Nugent came through...and I can sleep well for tonight... :drunk:
If you guys have been watching MNF this season, you'd already know that these clowns are just nails scratching down a chalkboard. Yes, it's understandable to point out that Chad has a lousy arm, and that it's even more of a liability in wet weather, but it shouldn't be practically the only thing they talk about for 3 quarters. Give it a frickin' rest. Also, did anyone else notice Tirico credited a play (I think it was BT's sack) to John Abraham? I mean, they even talked about how JAbe was traded earlier...how the fuck could they mess that up?
