NFL Week 14

[wade moore]

Blah.

When thsi whole NFL Network thing got going I wasn't THAT concerned because I thought I would always get the Redskins game.

I was wrong.

This is utter crap and the NFL has no one to blame but themselves. I feel very strongly that this move is sending the NFL down a very bad path that could really hurt them.

Anyway... 0-0 game so far and neither offense seems to be doing much of anything. Apparently Rex went out with some kind of injury?

[sterlingice]

So much clamoring for this week's "game", particularly compared with last week...

SI

[wade moore]

So much clamoring for this week's "game", particularly compared with last week...

SI

Hah... yeah, not a mass appeal to this game.

[Desmond]

FYI, NFL.com is doing the hybrid live/studio thingy again. And it is horrid.

[wade moore]

Yeah, I had it on for a few minutes and it's crap.

I turned on the stream of the ever decreasing in quality Redskins Radio.

[wade moore]

Dola: Which apparnetly is quite a few plays behind, at least was earlier, because when I had nfl.com's gamecast thing up it was a few plays ahead.

[Desmond]

Grossman is out, and it didn't look good. Leg got hit from the side and rolled up on.

[Desmond]

I must also applaud the fact that the box score on the gamecast does not in fact show you who has possesion. Top notch.

[Desmond]

Looks like Campbell just injured his arm.

[wade moore]

ugh. Campbell was just starting to come into his own. I hope it's not serious.

[wade moore]

UGH...

He comes back in and now it sounds like a potentially serious knee injury.

[Desmond]

The online coverage has had more injury footage than actual game time I think.

[stevew]

I think Campbell either tore his MCL or ACL. It looked fuckin horrible. Not theismann bad though.

[wade moore]

blah, terrible to hear - but thanks for the explanation for those of us without the video ;).

[stevew]

basically, he was planting to throw, got hit, and the one leg didn't really have a natural looking motion as he went down.

[wade moore]

yeah.. sounds like a classic Ligament tear...

*sigh*..

[stevew]

Greise with a horrendous throw.....should have been a pick 6 if Springs wasn't 40 years old.

[stevew]

Todd Collins with his first TD pass in like 3 years. Cooley's also hurt apparently.

[stevew]

1st td since 2002 for collins

[stevew]

Shawn Springs looks like Champ Bailey out there.

[Coffee Warlord]

Orton.

Please.

Dear god.

[stevew]

How does the patella tendon dislocate? That's what they say campbell has, anyways.

[stevew]

Greise really is who we thought he was. He misses a surefire TD cause he can't throw it over the head of the Smurflike London Fletcher.

[Coffee Warlord]

And here we have the bonafide low point of the season for Bears fans.

[stevew]

Tomlinson pitching Vizios is really funny to me...it's like the TV equivalent of the Chevy Cavalier.

[Desmond]

I really hate to rant and rave, but this thing they're doing on NFL.com is such bullshit. Either show the game or don't. I can't imagine anyone who actually logged in wanting to watch the game is happy at all.

[Desmond]

Dola. What happened to the annoying round man who was sitting in the middle? Did they yank him off?

[JeeberD]

How does the patella tendon dislocate? That's what they say campbell has, anyways.

Geez, the hits keep on coming for the Redskins. :-\

[Rizon]

I was able to watch some of the game at the gym. Campbell was in some serious pain after he went down, and he was down for quite some time.

[rkmsuf]

The NFL did us all a favor by not having this game widely available.

[miami_fan]

Bears fans, welcome to the tankers club. You can get the top pick but if you work hard enough, you probably can keep yourself in the top ten.

[Coffee Warlord]

Bears fans, welcome to the tankers club. You can get the top pick but if you work hard enough, you probably can keep yourself in the top ten.

Yeah, look at Angelo's track record with Top 10 picks. He does *so* well with them.

Bears fans can't even look forward to the draft. High 1st rounders for us are traditionally a clusterfuck (especiallly on offense).

[Honolulu_Blue]

I totally forgot this game was being played on a Thursday until I read about it in the paper this morning.

Good job, NFL!

[ISiddiqui]

I'd be curious to know the ratings for the game :D.

[flere-imsaho]

The best thing about this game being on Thursday is that I don't have to watch the Bears on Sunday. :)

[Jas_lov]

Yeah, these are the games that should be on NFL Network. Teams that nobody really cares about and teams that are downright terrible. Packers-Cowboys should have been moved to Sunday night or late Sunday afternoon so a national audience could see it. If Bears-Redskins was on Sunday night, it would have gotten lower ratings than Packers-Cowboys on NFL Network! At least the Redskins won because the Bears are terrible and I'm glad that they suck again.

I don't know. I feel like I've seen plenty of the Cowboys this year already. I will probably find this to be even more so after they destroy the Lions on Sunday.

[stevew]

Campbell looks to be done for the season. Kneecap injuries make me cringe.

[wade moore]

Campbell looks to be done for the season. Kneecap injuries make me cringe.

A guy on my flag football team got this injury in our game.

UGH.

He couldn't get out of bed for 2 weeks after the surgery.

[Aylmar]

I totally forgot this game was being played on a Thursday until I read about it in the paper this morning.

Good job, NFL!

Is the suggestion here that you would have remembered this game if it had been on ESPN or FOX? Isn't it possible that it's the odd night that causes you to not know the game is on instead of the network carrying the game? Like if Sunday Night football was on NFLN, would you forget it was on just because of who supplies the feed? Or is the odd schedule that you're complaining about? There has been so much grousing about the NFL "killing themselves" of late I can't tell which complaint is which...

how many f-ing commericals do you see on espn and fox. nobody on the planet forgets these things.

[Aylmar]

how many f-ing commericals do you see on espn and fox. nobody on the planet forgets these things.

And we're conditioned for it. "It's Sunday night in December...there's an NFL game to watch." Thursday is still an odd thing to me...I haven't exactly locked it into my brain yet that Thursday nights after Thanksgiving are football nights.

[JeeberD]

What are you talking about? The NFL has been playing game on Thursday nights in the second half of the season for YEARS now.

[rkmsuf]

What are you talking about? The NFL has been playing game on Thursday nights in the second half of the season for YEARS now.

only for like a decade or so though. give it time.

The RKsmurf pretty much nailed it.

It's like hockey on Versus. I am a hockey fan, but other than watching the occassional game on Versus, I never watch that channel. Ever. I usually find out a game is on by flipping through the HD channels on a Monday night and seeing the game on. That's pretty much it.

I don't watch too much ESPN, outside of college football and Monday night football, but I always remembered about the Thursday night college football game because of ads on Saturday or Monday.

Now, if I had the NFL Network, I am pretty sure I would be much more in tune with its schedule and when the games would be on. Since I don't have it, I pay no real attention to it, so whatever game they are showing is totally out of my mind.

So, to clarify, my complaints are as follows:

1. I don't get the NFL Network, so I don't watch it, so I'm rarely reminded there is a game on.

2. Since I don't get the NFL Network, I pay no real attention to its programming, games or otherwise.

Not being able to see the game is one thing, but not even thinking about it is quite another.

[Aylmar]

What are you talking about? The NFL has been playing game on Thursday nights in the second half of the season for YEARS now.

Really? Not every Thursday. It was Thanksgiving and then Saturdays after college football wrapped. I checked a site with dates and times of every game listed for the last ten years. Last season was the first one where there was a Thursday night game played EVERY week after Thanksgiving (with the exception of week 17). They introduced this package of games for the NFL network. If you can find some evidence that contradicts this, I'll happily be corrected.

Here's my source:

Having looked through the link that Aylmar posted, I'm starting to miss the days when the NFL had an odd number of teams and at least one team had a bye every week. Good times.

[Aylmar]

What about the '93 season? Everybody had TWO bye weeks. Now those were the days...

I miss the pumpy bye week.

[Pumpy Tudors]

Yeah, the 18-week schedule was amazing, and they need to bring that shit back.

[Pumpy Tudors]

I miss the pumpy bye week.
Fine, next week will be my bye week. See you all on the 17th!

[Dr. Sak]

Do you have stairs in your house?

[Pumpy Tudors]

Jeez, reading the board is going to be a fuck and a half after a week away. There will be tons of new threads and replies and inside jokes that I'll never get to. Well, shit.

Everytime you feel like posting stick a quarter in your ass.

[Pumpy Tudors]

Everytime you feel like posting stick a quarter in your ass.
I don't know if I have that kind of self control. What I need to do is find an offense that will get me put in the penalty box for a week. I guess I could post a picture of myself sticking a quarter in my ass...

[Butter]

Blanket the board with polls about Pumpy Pics... that would get you a week after a while.

OK, so it appears that I was thinking back to the late nineties when they were more regular...

[larrymcg421]

It's not even 4 minutes in and the Dolphins have managed to fumble a punt return, allow a 13 yard TD pass, and then move backwards 11 yards ont heir next possession.

[JeeberD]

Can someone call the Cowboys hotel and wake up their run defense? 'Cause they sure as hell weren't out there for that first series...

[DeToxRox]

TJ Duckett brings the pain!

[larrymcg421]

and Roscoe Parrish has a huge return of Miami's first punt. The Bills are on the Miami 29. Four minutes in.

[DaddyTorgo]

philip rivers effectively has singlehandedly fucked my FOFC-league fantasy football team this year.

I hope he's happy. dipshit

[Northwood_DK]

Not a bad first drive by the Eagles

[DeToxRox]

Lions actually playing with heart early.

Gerald Alexander is going to be a good player in this league. He keeps improving every game, and I like the way he just goes full tilt.

[larrymcg421]

I'm confused. What the hell is going on in the Dolphins game. I'm watching it via Yahoo, but they keep changing where the ball is. It looked like the Bills fumbled at the Miami 13, but now they have it at the Miami 33? Refreshed it again and now they have it at their own 43? The hell?

[Radii]

Detroit is really looking good.

[DeToxRox]

Wow. This has been the most impressive quarter by the Lions all year.

[JeeberD]

Thank goodness for stopping them with a FG.

Time to step up, 'Boys.

[larrymcg421]

Buffalo up 14-0 now after another Edwards TD pass. I think this Dolphins team would easily lose to the 76 Bucs.

[DeToxRox]

Lions special teams = worst in the NFL

[Cringer]

Packers are dominating except for the no points scored yet thing. Knocking on the door though......

[hoopsguy]

The best thing about this game being on Thursday is that I don't have to watch the Bears on Sunday. :)

A big +1

[JeeberD]

Hell of a scrum right there...

[MikeVic]

Hey, who's this big guy with wild hair on the Raiders' sideline? They keep showing him like he's the coach... bu I thought their coach was some skinny young guy?

[DeToxRox]

There are the Lions I've grown to love

[JeeberD]

Woot, The Barbarian!

[Jas_lov]

Packers are dominating except for the no points scored yet thing. Knocking on the door though......

Ryan Grant! 7-0! The Raiders couldn't throw on the Packers if they tried! How about that 4th down stop by Collins! Go Lions! Packers clinch the division today with a win!!!!!!!

[Cringer]

Hey, who's this big guy with wild hair on the Raiders' sideline? They keep showing him like he's the coach... bu I thought their coach was some skinny young guy?

Defensive coordinator, Rob Ryan.

[larrymcg421]

So the Dolphins go down 21-0 with 4:35 left in the quarter, then Cleo Lemon comes in and hits Ginn for a 54 yard completion and Samkon Gado scores on a 12 yard TD to make it 21-7.

[Jas_lov]

Will Blackmon! Punt return for TD! 14-0! God the Raiders suck!

[MikeVic]

Defensive coordinator, Rob Ryan.

Thanks.

[DeToxRox]

This is going to be typical Lions. Inside the 20 and they'll wind up settling for three or turning it over. I hope I am wrong but sadly I doubt it.

[DeToxRox]

Just throw it to Megatron.

[Cringer]

Samkon Gado is in Miami? I love Gado, thought he was 4th string in Houston still though. Way to go Gado.

[Cringer]

Just throw it to Megatron.

WHo is Megatron? All their WRs glued together to make one giant guy?

[DeToxRox]

WHo is Megatron? All their WRs glued together to make one giant guy?

Basically. It's CJ.

[larrymcg421]

Samkon Gado is in Miami? I love Gado, thought he was 4th string in Houston still though. Way to go Gado.

Well the Dolphins have three injured RB's, so 4th string is where we're at.

[Jas_lov]

Al Harris INT! Breaking News: Layne Kiffen has been fired! AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

[DeToxRox]

WTF has gotten into the Lions?

[Shkspr]

then Cleo Lemon comes in and hits Ginn for a 54 yard completion

Wait a minute, did I miss an injury? Cleo Lemon is stepping in as the new punter? ;)

[Jas_lov]

I dunno, but I like it! The Cowboys don't deserve the #1 seed anyway! Go Detroit go!

[DeToxRox]

TJ Duckett is playing like a fucking monster so far.

[JeeberD]

The Cowboys don't deserve the #1 seed anyway!

Why not?

Seriously, the defense needs to wake the fuck up.

[cmp]

Why doesn't TJ get the ball more. He does this everytime he gets some carries.

[Jas_lov]

The Dallas offense needs to muster up a drive before the half! They should be able to against Detroit's sorry defense!

[DeToxRox]

I think today is the game TO explodes on the sidelines. He looks so pissed off.

[DeToxRox]

Ugh, this is where you gotta throw a god damn fade to Johnson

[cmp]

Run Duckett instead of Jones there.

[DeToxRox]

Damnit! Ask and you shall recieve. He almost had that over two guys.

[DeToxRox]

TD KJ. Nice piece of running and look at that, Damian Woody shows some fucking attitude for once.

[Clark]

Nick Barnett looks like he got tazed.

[Jas_lov]

Run Jones instead of Duckett there and you shall be rewarded with a touchdown Lions!!!!!!

[Radii]

I am really, really impressed with Detroit today, 20-7.

[DeToxRox]

I think Dallas is gonna get in the endzone to end the half, not good. We need to hold to 3.

[mauchow]

14-7 Packers as Porter stole one away from Harries. Halftime and the Raiders are still in it. But they're BAAAD.

Jordan is NOT a running back.

[JeeberD]

NICE!!!

[DeToxRox]

Perfect throw from Homo to make it 20-14.

[Radii]

very nice throw by romo there.

[JeeberD]

Seriously, we need to run the two minute offense all the time. We OWN the two minute offense...

[DeToxRox]

Wow. Dallas is getting A LOT of breaks from the refs.

[JeeberD]

Wow, we got away with one there...

[cmp]

Wow. Can the Lions not get a pass interference call today or something?

[Thomkal]

The SD-Tenn game has been pretty brutal today, at least 6 injury timeouts including both starting QB's and Antonio Gates (back or hip). Gates was back at the end of the half. Vince Young was back in after a bizarre injury where he handed off the ball then turned to watch where the runner went and didn't see Merriman coming and ran right into him. He was out of the game late in the half though. Rivers got hit in the knee/leg and went to the lockeroom, but came back to the sideline before the half

It was Kerry Collins vs Billy Volek there for a while and not a good return to Tennessee for Volek. Threw an INT on a screen play where he was no where near the receiver, could have easily had another INT. And he got sacked. LT got called on unsportsmanlike conduct and K Birounas yanked a 29 yard FG wide.

[Jas_lov]

Favre to Jennings Touchdown! The game is sealed! Packers clinch the division! Go Lions!

[JeeberD]

I think that may be the first time I've ever seen Romo lose his cool...

[Thomkal]

Shawn Merriman is now out for the second half too

[Radii]

I think that may be the first time I've ever seen Romo lose his cool...

I wouldn't even call that "losing his cool" if it wasn't for the ridiculous rules the NFL have trying to prevent anyone from showing any emotion whatsoever.

[Greyroofoo]

I like Calvin Johnson

[cmp]

Thank you for running the ball Martz.

[larrymcg421]

Samkon Gado with a 20 yard TD run. The only thing the Dolphins have been able to do this year is run the ball.

[Jas_lov]

Will Blackmon another special teams TD! I hope you played the Packers D in fantasy this week! 31-7 Packers over the pathetic Raiders.

[Jas_lov]

Atari Bigby INT! TOUCHDOWN! Called back! Terrible call Hocouli!

[MikeVic]

That's a dumb rule, they have to change that.

[JeeberD]

Marion waltzes right in on fourth and goal... :)

[Cringer]

Atari Bigby INT! TOUCHDOWN! Called back! Terrible call Hocouli!

That wasn't a terrible call at all. They finally got a shot of it and McCown was totally defenseless and out of the play. I am rather disappointed in Jenkins for nailing him blindsided like that when they guy is basically walk-jogging along. If that had been done to Favre the world would be in an uproar right now.

[Jas_lov]

That's a dumb rule, they have to change that.

If the QB is running down the field trying to make a tackle, he's fair game! And he was barely even hit! Damn Lions! Stop somebody!!!!!

[Jas_lov]

I am rather disappointed in Jenkins for nailing him blindsided like that when they guy is basically walk-jogging along. If that had been done to Favre the world would be in an uproar right now.

NO! So Jenkins should just allow McCown to waltz through and make the tackle? NO! You hit people! This is football! Favre wouldn't be that stupid to get hit like that!

[Cringer]

If the QB is running down the field trying to make a tackle, he's fair game! And he was barely even hit! Damn Lions! Stop somebody!!!!!

Ok, maybe you need to see the play again. As I said, he was not running downfield to make a play. He was jogging so slowly it was almost a walk, and he had very little intention of trying to make a play. As you can see from most shots of that play, it clearly didn't happen anywhere in the area of where the play started, went, or ended. It was a penalty at the very least.

[JeeberD]

Good grief, our defense sucks balls today. Tackle, guys!

[DeToxRox]

Kind of BS call consider MBIII did that exact thing near the end of the first half.

[JeeberD]

I don't get it...Detroit has given up the most sacks in the league and we can get ZERO pressure on Kitna today?!?!?

[JeeberD]

Dola-

Nice kick, Hansen! :D

[Jas_lov]

Hanson you idiot! Stupid Lions will always be terrible.

[Cringer]

I don't get it...Detroit has given up the most sacks in the league and we can get ZERO pressure on Kitna today?!?!?

Sometimes teams just don't play as well as they should or normally do, like Green Bay last week. ;)

It's just one of those days for Dallas combined with Detroit play their A-game. Though it will be funny to hear Dallas fans who are worried and want people fired when they call NFL Radio this week win or lose.

[JeeberD]

LOL. Honestly, if we lose this game it doesn't mean a thing. How many teams in history have made it through the regular season with one loss? But still, after the late season meltdown of the past few seasons I REALLY want a win here...

[JeeberD]

I heart Jason Witten. Of all the great/very good tight ends in Cowboys history, he's definitely the best...

[MikeVic]

Ok, maybe you need to see the play again. As I said, he was not running downfield to make a play.

As you can see from most shots of that play, it clearly didn't happen anywhere in the area of where the play started, went, or ended. It was a penalty at the very least.

I agree it should be a penalty, but it shouldn't wipe out a TD return. As you said, the play was nowhere near what was going on the field for a TD. How does that cancel out a TD??

[Cringer]

LOL. Honestly, if we lose this game it doesn't mean a thing. How many teams in history have made it through the regular season with one loss? But still, after the late season meltdown of the past few seasons I REALLY want a win here...

Exactly. That is somewhat how I felt about the Packers loss last week. Not the end of the world. BUT, guys who call into sports radio, they don't see thing very clearly usually and certain things just lead to entertaining calls from the melodramatic.

[Logan]

Hey CBS...no more GB/OAK please. SD/TEN?

[Cringer]

I agree it should be a penalty, but it shouldn't wipe out a TD return. As you said, the play was nowhere near what was going on the field for a TD. How does that cancel out a TD??

It's a rather big penalty, so allowing the TD and enforcing the penalty on the kickoff is a crappy way to go about things too. And it goes that way for any penalty by the scoring team really. It may have been away from the play, but it is still a penalty by the team scoring, so therefore the play doesn't count. Giving the Packers the ball, minus 15 yards from where the play happened, is a lot better then saying it is Oakland ball and acting like the INT never happened.

[hoopsguy]

Atari Bigby INT! TOUCHDOWN! Called back! Terrible call Hocouli!

I haven't seen the play, but I refuse to believe that Ed made a terrible call. I think it is way more likely that a homer fan isn't pleased with a correct ruling by the greatest ref in the history of sports.

[Radii]

Exactly. That is somewhat how I felt about the Packers loss last week. Not the end of the world.

I'm surprised to hear that(from both you and Jeeber). Green Bay and Dallas generally appear to be head and shoulders above the rest of the NFC and it seems to me that home field advantage for either team would be critical. Not that a loss means that you go nuts about firing people, but the semi-indifference towards a loss.

[JeeberD]

Fuck. I talked Witten up too soon... :mad:

[JeeberD]

Green Bay and Dallas generally appear to be head and shoulders above the rest of the NFC and it seems to me that home field advantage for either team would be critical.

Well, even if we lose we're still a game up on the Packers... ;)

[Jas_lov]

A better way to go is to not call it a penalty at all and let the football players do what they're paid to do and that's hit people! Bigby was robbed of a touchdown.

And it sure does matter if Dallas loses today and loses #1 seed. They don't want any part of playing in Green Bay in January. TD Donald Lee! WOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!

[Jas_lov]

Lions defense! Hold the ball and win the game!

[JeeberD]

Hey idiot, even if we lose today we don't lose the #1 seed.

[JeeberD]

Third and long. All year long... :mad:

[Jas_lov]

I know idiot, but this loss could contribute to losing the #1 seed later on.

[Radii]

Well, even if we lose we're still a game up on the Packers... ;)

Yeah, but 2 games up is better!

[JeeberD]

True that. That's why I'll still be upset if we lose...

[Cringer]

I was sitting in a room at my companies terminal with several Cowboy fans, in a suburb of Dallas, wearing my Favre jersey. Trust me I wasn't brushing it off sitting there taking shit, being asked why I haven't taken off my jersey yet. :D It was rather crappy. But, the Packers are 10-2, about to be 11-2. That is 2 more wins then I was hoping for this year, 1 more then my 'best case scenario.'

I am just enjoying the ride I guess. I won't take a loss in CHicago very well if that happens in a couple of weeks though. ;)

[Radii]

Hey idiot, even if we lose today we don't lose the #1 seed.


haha trust me! putting him on ignore every sunday! has increased! my enjoyment of NFL Weekly threads! tenfold!

[JeeberD]

Where ya at right now, Cringer? We should get together for a beer some time on one of your many trips through this area...

[DeToxRox]

Old McDonald on his farm, F I R S T D O W N

[JeeberD]

haha trust me! putting him on ignore every sunday! has increased! my enjoyment of NFL Weekly threads! tenfold!


LOL!

I heart Radii... :D

[Thomkal]

Go Cards! A win against Seattle would be huge for them today. Anyone know if Boldin and Fitzgerald will be playing for them?

[finkenst]

Well, even if we lose we're still a game up on the Packers... ;)
actually, you'd only be up like .00001 games on the packer.. as a cowgirls loss and packer tie would put them ahead by 1/2 game.

[DeToxRox]

Go Cards! A win against Seattle would be huge for them today. Anyone know if Boldin and Fitzgerald will be playing for them?

Boldin is out, no idea on Fitz

[JeeberD]

A half game (.5) equals .00001? That's some math right there...

[Jas_lov]

haha trust me! putting him on ignore every sunday! has increased! my enjoyment of NFL Weekly threads! tenfold!

LOL! I'll admit, that's a good one! I'm just excited about the Packers season. I'll tone it down from now on. Looks like Dallas will have a chance to win it by 1 point and I'm sure they'll end up doing it.

[DeToxRox]

Homo is about to kill us in the 2 minute offense.

[Rizon]

How come Beck isn't playing for Miami? Is he hurt?

[JeeberD]

We're VERY good at the two minute offense, but going 90 yards without any time outs is going to be tough...

[Thomkal]

Boldin is out, no idea on Fitz

Thanks DeTox. Looked like Fitz was the more ready to play of the two. Hope so, because it looks pretty bleak for my beloved Cards with both of them out.

[MikeVic]

WTF, so they change from Packers/Raiders to.... Dolphins/Bills. Oh yay.

[Cringer]

Where ya at right now, Cringer? We should get together for a beer some time on one of your many trips through this area...

Almost missed this.

I am at the house right now, until Tuesday. Then I will be staying out until right up until Christmas. That should me going back and forth between Houston and DFW, with the occasional DFW-Austin/San Antonio or OKC run thrown in to spice things up.

You got truck parking? ;)

[Cringer]

Ouch

[Rizon]

Talk about kicking you while you're down.

[JeeberD]

Fucking TO. :mad:

[Rizon]

WTF, so they change from Packers/Raiders to.... Dolphins/Bills. Oh yay.

Here in Chokeland, they just changed it form Faiders/Fudgers to SD/TEN. Not bad.

[JeeberD]

And OH MY GOD we got lucky there. That was almost game over.

[Logan]

I got my wish for SD/TEN.

[MikeVic]

Oh, now it went straight to commercial, and back with Chargers/Titans. It was weird, they went to the sports desk guy and he had this little opening speech for the Bills/Dolphins game. Guess they realized after the change how pointless it was.

Well, there's a Walmart right across from my apartment complex that usually has some trucks parked near it. :)

[Cringer]

That should be a catch. :(

[JeeberD]

Oh man, this game is going to give me a heart attack...

[Eaglesfan27]

Sheesh. Akers just hit the upright on a 57 yard FG attempt that would have tied it.

[Clark]

Lions are going to F this up.

[TazFTW]

Witten!!!!!

[JeeberD]

WITTEN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Clark]

Yep

[Cringer]

Well, there's a Walmart right across from my apartment complex that usually has some trucks parked near it. :)

Cool, if I am going to be in that area with time to spare, and I know in advance, I will give you a heads up.

Wow, nice drive for Romo.

The Legend? That is going a little overboard there Joe Buck.:rolleyes:

[JeeberD]

What's the Cowboys record for catches in a game? 15 for Witten today? Christ...

[JeeberD]

Cool, if I am going to be in that area with time to spare, and I know in advance, I will give you a heads up.


Sounds good...

[Jas_lov]

A microcosm of the Lions season. Start off well, implode in the end. Since they don't play the Bears anymore, they probably won't win another game all year.

[Rizon]

I'm a little torn in the SD game. Do I want them to win? If they lose, then Norv is most likely the head coach of the Dolphins in the next two years, which means more losing.

[JeeberD]

Thank god it's over. What a nerve racking game. Hell of a game, Lions (and Lions fans)...

[Cringer]

I want SD to lose. I want their GM fired. I do want their QB to succeed though, so it's a rough one for me as well. I like the Titans franchise too, so I got to go for the Titans.

[cartman]

Woot! Awesome comeback by the Cowboys. Strange as it sounds, it might have actually turned out better that Witten didn't score with about 4 minutes left.

[Rizon]

Does anyone know if the PIT/NE game is going to be shown in Chokeland? I'm getting a little afraid that the only 2 games available to us today are the Whiners and Faiders.

If it's not on, I'm going to go into a tirade.

[BishopMVP]

SD-Ten go to OT, and CBS switches over to Pit/NE. Understandable, and I wouldn't have gotten to hear Jim Nantz' brilliant analysis - "There could be weather during the game." Really? Thanks for the update!

[JeeberD]

So the Cowboys just wrapped up the NFC East (for the first time since '98) but still need one more win or one more Packers loss to wrap up home field, right?

[MikeVic]

Let's go Steelers now!

[Rizon]

OMFG TO HELL WITH THE NFL. FUCK YOU ASSHOLES

Now I don't get TEN/SD in OT, I get some piss ass Faiders postgame show so they can sit around and circle jerk over Al Davis. Fuck the NFL. Fuck all those assholes, fucking pricks. PIECES OF SHIT.

[cartman]

Chargers-Titans going to OT.

[Jas_lov]

Cowboys need to win and have the Packers lose next week to clinch home field.

[JeeberD]

Let's go Steelers now!

Yes, agreed!

[RendeR]

OMFG TO HELL WITH THE NFL. FUCK YOU ASSHOLES

Now I don't get TEN/SD in OT, I get some piss ass Faiders postgame show so they can sit around and circle jerk over Al Davis. Fuck the NFL. Fuck all those assholes, fucking pricks. PIECES OF SHIT.



Come on now

Tell us how you REALLY feel.

[JeeberD]

Cowboys need to win and have the Packers lose next week to clinch home field.

Are you sure? We're two games up with three games left. If we win, we're two games up with two left. If you lose, we're at worst two up with two left...

Edit: I may be wrong...the Cowboys drove me to drink too much beer today.

[astrosfan64]

Patriots will lose to the Steelers.

Patriots are overrated. They aren't that great, the NFL is just that bad.

[Jas_lov]

No, you're up one game with the tiebreaker which makes it a two game lead with three to play. If the Cowboys win and the Packers win next week, the Cowboys would be 13-1 and the Packers 12-2 with 2 games left. Cowboys lose out, Packers win out, and the Packers win #1 seed. Wouldn't happen, but it's a possibility.

[JeeberD]

OK, I see the logic. Like I said, too much beer has addled my brain...

[JeeberD]

Patriots will lose to the Steelers.

Patriots are overrated. They aren't that great, the NFL is just that bad.

This sounds just like a jb post...

[JeeberD]

Big Ben...you don't have Manute Bol out there, buddy...

[Cringer]

LT with a TD run in OT for the Charger win.

[Thomkal]

Cards down 10-0 already...sigh

[DaddyTorgo]

TD

Brady (42)

to

Moss (18)

7-3 Pats

[RendeR]

That pats dive made the Steelers D look more like the Bengals D......

[Cringer]

I see why the Raider suck so bad, for some reason they think they are playing baseball....

Blackmon scored two special teams touchdowns, including his fumbled bunt recovery and a 57-yard punt return.

Not sure bunting does you much good in football.

[DaddyTorgo]

Big Ben just got whomped by like..2-3 pats

[DaddyTorgo]

Steelers 3-and-out

[JeeberD]

Aww, geez...

[SirFozzie]

DA BOMB!

[DaddyTorgo]

OH SHIT

YOU HAVE TO COVER RANDY MOSS!!

63 YDS

TD

BRADY (43)

to

MOSS (19)

[RendeR]

FEH....and the rout is on in Foxboro.

[DaddyTorgo]

that was frigging filthy. there was NO deep help and the anthony-smith guy for PIT totally bit on the run and Moss was just all alone

[DeToxRox]

Patriots will lose to the Steelers.

Hope you bet on this one

[Jas_lov]

Nice TD, Ben to Davenport.

[JeeberD]

Woot! Go Stillers!

[SirFozzie]

Wow, shoot out, good way to respond by the steelers.

[Cringer]

Wow, never thought I would see Najeh Davenport go deep. That was very nice.

[Cringer]

Double wow, Tony Gonzalez just made a great little move on the sideline for a TD in Denver.

[Radii]

Wow, never thought I would see Najeh Davenport go deep.

There's a great joke there somewhere, it just isn't coming together for me.

[JeeberD]

There's a great joke there somewhere, it just isn't coming together for me.

Najeh usually prefers to take a dump (off pass)?

[Cringer]

I knew you guys wouldn't fail me with a comment on Najeh going deep. :D

[JeeberD]

Hey, why didn't anyone tell me that Johnnie Lee caught a pass for the Raiders today?!? :mad:

[Cringer]

Never heard of the guy, that could be why.

[JeeberD]

Crap!

Come on, Stillers! Don't you want to win this game?!?

[Cringer]

Patriots did that short punt on purpose. They are just smarter then everyone else.

[JeeberD]

Never heard of the guy, that could be why.

The "Legend of Johnnie Lee Higgins" continued to grow today, Cringer... :D

[Cringer]

The "Legend of Johnnie Lee Higgins" continued to grow today, Cringer... :D

Ok Joe Buck. lol

[JeeberD]

Dola-

My initial post about JLH was mostly directed towards RA. He's my Raiders/UTEP info hook-up...

[JeeberD]

Halfway through the second quarter and Tarvaris Jackson has already thrown for over 100 yards?

[Cringer]

Minnesota is rolling. As is Seattle over Arizona.

[Cringer]

Phil Simms is great at commentary.

"Did you see that play?"

long pause

Jim Nance-"I did."

[Cringer]

4th and inches and the Steelers get it. Nice.

[DaddyTorgo]

dammit Asante...hold onto the INT and you keep the points off the board!

[DaddyTorgo]

Pats on the move with 1:20 left in the half...ball on the PIT 18. 1st and 10

[DaddyTorgo]

bah...holding penalty...FG

17-13 Pats

[rjolley]

Did KC completely forget how to stop the run? 143 yards on 11 carries to Selwin Young? You've got to be kidding...

[JeeberD]

Not that they've been playing great team, but the Vikes have been impressive the past three weeks...

[SirFozzie]

FLEA FLICKER! Wow.

[MikeVic]

What a lucky punk ass team!

[DaddyTorgo]

SUCK THE FLEA FLICKER PITTSBURGH!!!!

[Eaglesfan27]

Wow. Gotta love the creative play call.

[Jas_lov]

Way to come through on your prediction Anthony Smith.

[SirFozzie]

Wow. Gotta love the creative play call.

It's like the Pats went back to the "Good old days" of every trick play in the book.

[Cringer]

That was a long pass.

[Raiders Army]

Another TD for Brady
