NFL Week 5

korme · 10-05-2003, 01:39 PM

bub isn't here, so I am here to make the thread.

The Dillon-less Bengals are up on the Bills 6-3 at the half.

vtbub · 10-05-2003, 01:45 PM

Watching the Sox, Shorty

FrogMan · 10-05-2003, 01:45 PM

Pats down 13-7 at the half, Vinatieri missed from 34 and 39 after hitting 33 consecutive from under 40... Bummer...

IMetTrentGreen · 10-05-2003, 01:46 PM

quincy carter is going to be in the pro bowl

korme · 10-05-2003, 01:50 PM

Count on Quincy. In my pick'em with my family, I've really trusted that Quincy is turning Dallas around.

korme · 10-05-2003, 02:28 PM

Tipped pass causes's Aaron Schobel (TE Matt for the Bengals' brother) to intercept a Kitna pass. Henry catches a short pass from Bledsoe and the first TD of the game is scored, and now lead 13-6.

Bengals have huge wind to their backs, which will help in the 4th. But they need a TD. And that isn't too unbelievable, seeing as former OSU backs Antoine Winfield and Nate Clements are having a hard time covering Chad Johnson and Peter Warrick. Will make for an exciting 4th!

Go Bengals!

sabotai · 10-05-2003, 02:32 PM

Giants kicker is injured. He pulled his hamstring on a FG at the end of the half. It's 16-10 (Feagles missed a FG...he's the punter) Miami right now. The Giants have turned it over 3 times, but the Giants D has effectively taken Ricky Williams completly out of the game. I don't think he even has 10 rushing yards yet. He's carried it enough times, but he's been stuffed the entire time.

cartman · 10-05-2003, 02:32 PM

When was the last time there were two safeties for a team in the same quarter? I bet all those people who had a two in their 100 square pool were pissed...

Tasan · 10-05-2003, 02:35 PM

Ricky Williams is killing my fantasy team right now. Whats the deal!!??

sabotai · 10-05-2003, 02:38 PM

Ricky Williams has 20 carries for 36 yards. About 12 or so of them came on the last 3 plays.

sabotai · 10-05-2003, 02:41 PM

The Giants offense can't get anything going. Hilliard fumbled it after a catch. But neither of Collins' INTs were really his fault. One was afreak play where th eball just sat on Toomer and the defender when they went to the ground and the other was tipped into the air by the receiver. Whenever they had something good going, shit happened to them.

korme · 10-05-2003, 02:46 PM

Safety Coy Wire roughs the punter Nick Johnson, giving the Bengals a first down. Cinci takes advantage, marches down the field, and Rudi Johnson (him and Brandon Bennett carrying the load without Dillon) runs in about a 20 yard touchdown to tie this game up. Chad Johnson suffers what is likely a concussion after leaping up and getting knocked down and hitting his head. Rookie receiver Kelley Washington does a nice job replacing him catching his first two balls of the game on the drive after Johnson gets hurt.

13-13 baby.

TargetPractice6 · 10-05-2003, 02:47 PM

Touchdown Bengals! Rudi Johnson carries it 16 yards into the endzone. All tied up against the Bills now with 9 minutes left in the 4th quarter.

korme · 10-05-2003, 02:48 PM

Ahem, TP.

korme · 10-05-2003, 02:51 PM

Duane Clemons sacks Bledsoe on 3rd & 16 inside the 5!! And with gusting winds, expect a crappy punt that will put the Bengals in the Bills territory!

SWEET!

sabotai · 10-05-2003, 02:51 PM

Ok, I would say that one was Collins' fault. He underthrew it. If he put it in the back corner of the endzone, it'd probably be a TD. Oh well, Miami's up 23-10 now and that will be it.

korme · 10-05-2003, 02:51 PM

Warrick returns the punt to the 20 yardline!!!!

The_herd · 10-05-2003, 02:54 PM

In even bigger news, the bears are winning.

korme · 10-05-2003, 02:54 PM

16-13, Bengals.

JonInMiddleGA · 10-05-2003, 02:55 PM

I wonder how long it's been since there's been two games with two safety's each on the same day? (Cincy-Buf & Min-Atl)

korme · 10-05-2003, 02:58 PM

Cincy-Buf has not had a safety.

The_herd · 10-05-2003, 02:59 PM

Dante Hall just returned a punt 93 yards to give KC a 24-23 lead.

Tasan · 10-05-2003, 02:59 PM

and Dallas/Arizona

JonInMiddleGA · 10-05-2003, 03:01 PM

Shorty - My bad. It was Dal-Ari that also had a pair of safety scores. Both came when Jeff Blake was sacked in the end zone.

Blake = ex- Cincy + thread discussion of Cin-Buf = me f'ed up

korme · 10-05-2003, 03:17 PM

Understandable. I'd put a smiley, but that has been ruined by the tied score and overtime.

We get the ball to start off OT, but against this beast wind, if we go 3 & out and punt, the Bills will be in FG range that easily.

korme · 10-05-2003, 03:25 PM

Dammit.

TargetPractice6 · 10-05-2003, 03:26 PM

Amen, Shorty.

FrogMan · 10-05-2003, 03:41 PM

Woohoo Pats win it 38-30!!!

SirFozzie · 10-05-2003, 04:07 PM

Question about the hook and lateral play near the end of the Pats-Titans game.

Seemed to me (and admittedly, I'm not sure of the rule), that they touched the receiver down while he was in the process of pitching the ball. If the ball has not left his hands, he's considered down right?

Also, I seem to remember a rule you couldn't advance a fumble forward in certain situations, whether that's in the last two minutes or fourth down, or whatever, I don't know.

But the Pats have to learn, you play it out fully.

(edited for spelling)

SirFozzie · 10-05-2003, 04:10 PM

Dola: Found the rule: It's only in college, and on fourth down. On a fumble on fourth down, only the fumbler can advance the ball, any other offensive player recovers the fumble, it's immediately ruled dead at either the spot of the fumble, or where it's recovered (if behind the spot of the fumble)

And now to edit out my goof up above (typo demon got me)

Tasan · 10-05-2003, 04:10 PM

Its the Titans, they fall under a special sub section of the NFL rules to where if they are down a the end of the game, they can throw the ball whatever direction they want to, as long as it comes from a TE.

SirFozzie · 10-05-2003, 04:20 PM

Dude, post again, your post count is freakin me out! (666)

Tasan · 10-05-2003, 05:00 PM

Well crap, I started Lelie over Boston against my better judgement, and its biting me squarely in the ass. Boston has over 100 yards and a TD while Lelie only had 30 yards.

Ryche · 10-05-2003, 06:18 PM

My god David Boston is huge....a WR just should not be 240+ pounds.

MikeVic · 10-05-2003, 07:18 PM

They should use Boston as a RB or something.. he's sick.

Damnit Steelers!!!!!! Is Maddox really that crappy now? It's only one fumble... but still...

RendeR · 10-05-2003, 09:06 PM

Browns kicking some black and girly-yellow ass

mckerney · 10-05-2003, 09:11 PM

Vikings were a little dissappointing this week, but about what can be expected when missing 3 offensive starters and having another playing injured. Managed to get the job done to get to 5 - 0 though. Only managed two picks this week, though were able to force another turnover on a fumble though.

Things should start getting better when Culpepper and Bennnet get back.

JeeberD · 10-05-2003, 09:21 PM

Man, I was lucky enough to be at the Cowboys game today. It was freakin great. The defense looked fantastic (poor Emmitt), Quincy looked good, and Hambrick had a decent game until Allen went out. The offense sort of shut down in the second half, but the way that Gowin was punting the ball and the defense was playing it didn't matter one bit.

My throat hurts so much now from yelling the past two days (went to the UTEP-SMU game yesterday). Guess I need to go to the store and pick up some lozenges...

Because the Vikings are awesome and no one listened to me when I said they'd have a good defense this year, and their offense is still missing a runningback that was an NFL record setter last year, and it makes the Vikings look more awesome if they burninated a team while having a subpar performance.

korme · 10-05-2003, 09:30 PM

mckerney · 10-05-2003, 09:31 PM

Though in the case of the Gophers it's because I'm not really sure that they're all that good yet, and don't know if they're really a top 15 team yet.

I'm going to have to deduct you some points. The first statement isn't logically true. Pitts. > Browns has been proven, but Browns > Pitts. hasn't been proven yet.
