On another note, how bout that rope???

Totally agree.
Also agree with schizo.
I like these no defense Fridays. Fun watching good offenses against rotten defenses.

I go back and forth on this. I've got Te'o and Keuchly ranked ahead of him right now because they show up more often. When Burfict shows up, he shows up in a big way though. It's rare you find a linebacker in this day and age that can legitimately effect a game beyond the tackle sheet.
He's played pretty well this game aside from getting taken out by his own guy. The forced fumble was a direct result of him getting into the backfield early and putting an arm on the guy, even though he was blocked.

Awesome punt. He should have just let it bounce out of the endzone and get the ball at 20.

First time ASU has allowed the pressure to get to Osweiler all game.
TONS of flags on both sides early.

i'm sure some teams will be scared away because (a) he's legitimately crazy and (b) the lavar arrington factor.
plenty of others will be willing to take the risk

I personally love the fact that he's crazy. I've never heard a peep about him being a bad teammate outside of that one ticky tacky fight thing. Defense is partially about personality and intensity. Give me a crazy SOB like Burfict or Lewis everything else being equal.

Te'o and Keuchly are so polished. It's night and day between them and Burfict. As soon as I wrote that, he stoned Josey in the backfield. You never know what you're gonna get from him. A middle linebacker has to be consistent and not just some loose cannon running around the field.
Other notes:
Finally a Sheldon Richardson sighting, for the wrong reason.
ASU needs to get Marshall going downhill, not east-west.
Did that punt really go 80 yards in the air? I couldn't believe it when I saw it.

It also doesn't help Burfict playing against a spread offense like this. He's not much of a space player. I'm not just judging his performance this week. I seen a good bit of games last year and watched the first half of the UC-Davis game last week. Again, love his talent, he's just not what I want as a MLB.

Osweiler looks very good, huge arm and very accurate.

So just tuned into the ASU game... took me a good 2 plays to work out that ASU were wearing the Missou colours!
Must add that I really like their jersey but it just seems weird to where your opponent's colours!
How long have they been sporting those things?

That was the worst kickoff return I've ever seen. Also I'm sure this has been mentioned but the old ASU uniforms are about a million times better than these new pieces of ****.

Agreed. The flat black helmets look badass.

What else is new? Your average fan doesn't realize that neither team is very good.

Still kind of funny.
Shame that one looks like it's coming back.
