NFL Week 7

[DeToxRox]

Well, it's another bad week of football games on paper with the best match up probably going to Minnesota vs Pittsburgh, followed by the Gmen vs Falcons on SNF and then I guess Atlanta at Dallas.

Plus we have New England who will probably drop a bomb on the Bucs in London and Michael Crabtree making his first professional start.

Should be a ton of fun.

[JS19]

Giants vs Cardinals... As a Giants fan, I really wanna see how they rebound from the Saints disaster. If Brees and company can exploit their D like that, one would think Warner should do the same.

[JPhillips]

Gmen vs Falcons on SNF and then I guess Atlanta at Dallas

Sucks that Atlanta has to play twice.

[larrymcg421]

Looking forward to the Dolphins-Saints game. Fins have had two weeks to prepare. Hopefully, they've done some work on the secondary.

[DaddyTorgo]

Sucks that Atlanta has to play twice.

Matt Ryan actually asked for it - he's finally going to take off the cape and reveal himself as SUPERMAN!! :eek:

[JPhillips]

I guess Brett Farve is playing all of the whole NFC North in week 10.

[Passacaglia]

The big news in Chicago is that Chad Ochocinco tweeted to Jay Cutler that Peanut Tillman is going to "kiss da baby" and no one knows what that means.

[Danny]

Matt Ryan actually asked for it - he's finally going to take off the cape and reveal himself as SUPERMAN!! :eek:

Take off the cape and reveal himself?

[RomaGoth]

The big news in Chicago is that Chad Ochocinco tweeted to Jay Cutler that Peanut Tillman is going to "kiss da baby" and no one knows what that means.

I think it means Jay Cutler is pregnant with Ochocinco's love child.

[RomaGoth]

Anyone see this story?

Worker who fell from San Diego Chargers' press box at game dies - ESPN (http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/news/story?id=4579864)

I don't get why the story has to include this:

Workers later cleaned up a puddle of blood.

Pretty sure we could have figured it out on our own k thx.

RIP to this guy.

[jbergey22]

Tough couple of games for the Vikings coming up. At Pitt and at GB. Im hoping for the best but I can see two losses here before the bye week. Pitt will be a tough matchup and the Green Bay means so much for Green Bay that I cant see them not bringing their best game of the year.

[Sun Tzu]

Big game for the 49ers this week. Traveling to Houston against an up and down Texans team. Gore will be back and healthy (a HUGE boost) and it's looking like Michael Crabtree will get his first start just 2 weeks after signing.

[Radii]

I'm really looking forward to seeing Crabtree.

[Kodos]

I hope he tears every ligament in his body. :)

[molson]

The Pats are down to 3 WR, as Julian Edelman has a broken arm.

He's looked good - I believe he led rookies in pass receptions.

Sam Aiken is the #3.

[DataKing]

A Vikings fan with a sense of humor.

[Ronnie Dobbs2]

The Pats are down to 3 WR, as Julian Edelman has a broken arm.

He's looked good - I believe he led rookies in pass receptions.

Sam Aiken is the #3.

Maybe not this week, but with the Bucs and then the bye hopefully Tate can get up to speed by the Dolphins game. Aiken has not really impressed much as a receiver.

I just don't see what the big deal is. He is obviously joking around. Titans fans are up in arms over this, when they should really just be pissed at their players half-ass attitudes, especially in that last game against the Patriots.

[Ronnie Dobbs2]

If I were a Titans fan, after that last game, I would have lost all respect for him after that.

[DaddyTorgo]

If I were a Titans fan, after that last game, I would have lost all respect for him after that.

he can't go out there and play all 11 positions on defense - it's not 100% his fault (although as coach he certainly should bear some of the blame)

[MikeVic]

I just don't see what the big deal is. He is obviously joking around. Titans fans are up in arms over this, when they should really just be pissed at their players half-ass attitudes, especially in that last game against the Patriots.

If Tomlin showed up to some event wearing a Ray Lewis jersey, I'd be like WTF too, but I wouldn't really care much, would just think it's odd.

[molson]

I don't think it's the jersey so much, but the comment that "I just wanted to feel like a winner". I can see that being very annoying to the Titans and fans.

[Ronnie Dobbs2]

What molson said. The day after possibly the worst loss in franchise history, it comes off as rubbing the fans face in it.

[DaddyTorgo]

I don't think it's the jersey so much, but the comment that "I just wanted to feel like a winner". I can see that being very annoying to the Titans and fans.


aaah. i didn't watch the video - didn't know he said that. even if it was a joke, that's defiantely in poor taste

[RomaGoth]

aaah. i didn't watch the video - didn't know he said that. even if it was a joke, that's defiantely in poor taste

I imagine that he meant it as a joke, but I agree it was in poor taste. I still think people take things too seriously sometimes, but I can see how what he did could be somewhat offensive.

[Lathum]

If people get that pissed off about a joke at a charity event then they take their sports way to seriously.

[Passacaglia]

The people who should be pissed off are the Titans *players*. And it should motivate them into actually doing stuff.

[MikeVic]

Forgot about his comment too. I know I read about this yesterday, and didn't really like it, but it was the comment+jersey combo, not just the jersey.

[RomaGoth]

The people who should be pissed off are the Titans *players*. And it should motivate them into actually doing stuff.

They look like they don't give a damn though. I have never in my life seen professional athletes look like they care less about what they are doing, than I did in that game last Sunday.

[Pumpy Tudors]

Fisher should've rolled up in there going "Peyton Manning is my boy! Why y'all gotta be trippin'?"

[MikeVic]

They look like they don't give a damn though. I have never in my life seen professional athletes look like they care less about what they are doing, than I did in that game last Sunday.

I still like Chris Johnson, I feel bad for him.

[Sun Tzu]

If the Titans weren't 0-6 nobody would give two shits about this.

[Raiders Army]

I just don't see what the big deal is. He is obviously joking around. Titans fans are up in arms over this, when they should really just be pissed at their players half-ass attitudes, especially in that last game against the Patriots.

I'd be pissed if my coach said he wanted to feel like a winner.

Jeff Fisher has really gone off the deep end. Earlier this year he extolled how great a guy McNair was and now this.

[Travis]

It was meant to be a joke, but it's obviously a poor and desperate one at best. I'm just failing to see how this positively motivates anybody in the situation, but could definitely see how this could cost him some of the guys in the locker room. I mean, they're already having a hard enough time, but seeing your coach do that, well, wouldn't necessarily surprise me to see more guys quitting on him or tuning him out now and just looking to up their stats/contract standing.

That said, I'd have found it a lot funnier had he not even addressed the jersey, just stand there wearing it, give your speech and leave. The looks on the faces of everybody else there would have been funny to see. Giving them the punchline that early just let them all off the hook entirely too early.

[NewIdentity]

I am very surprised FOX did not send their #1 team of Buck and Aikman to Pittsburgh. I wonder where they are at?

[DaddyTorgo]

discussion - who's going to win offensive rookie of the year this year? trying to think of who could

[DaddyTorgo]

brandon meriweather!! td pats!! INT return

yep - Brandon Meriweather is a legit PLAYER. he reads QB's so well and his timing is always great for a big hit or a chance at an INT

[DeToxRox]

discussion - who's going to win offensive rookie of the year this year? trying to think of who could

Knoshown Moreno and Austin Collie are probably the two best options now. If Stafford comes back and finishes strong he is in the conversation. I guess Sanchez possibly too but he's behind the 8 ball.

Not a lot of good rookie performances so far.

[DeToxRox]

Dola, I forgot Harvin too.

[Alan T]

I am very surprised FOX did not send their #1 team of Buck and Aikman to Pittsburgh. I wonder where they are at?


I'm guessing the Falcons game. Falcons are one of the top NFC teams this season, yet everyone is still picking the Cowboys to win. Fox was hyping that game up big all week.

[DaddyTorgo]

moreno and harvin were the only 2 we could think of

[mauchow]

discussion - who's going to win offensive rookie of the year this year? trying to think of who could

harvin atm

edit: dt beat me to it...by 15 minutes apparently.

[sovereignstar]

Great challenge, Bradley!

[henry296]

I'm guessing the Falcons game. Falcons are one of the top NFC teams this season, yet everyone is still picking the Cowboys to win. Fox was hyping that game up big all week.

Plus Buck is doing baseball tonight and not football.

[dervack]

I am very surprised FOX did not send their #1 team of Buck and Aikman to Pittsburgh. I wonder where they are at?
Buck's got baseball still.

[Abe Sargent]

Boring games.

[Eaglesfan27]

Boring games.

Agreed. At least with the Red Zone Channel's variety, I'm not being bored by any one game for too long.

[Lathum]

I love the Red Zone channel

[Alan T]

How much does it cost to get the Red Zone channel? We have it available as well, I just didn't figure I would get it since I keep track of what is happening in other games online. If it is fairly inexpensive, I might go for it.

[DeToxRox]

So those 49'ers looking good through week 3?

[Radii]

Pittsburgh goes 91 yards in 1:15 to take the lead with 24 seconds left in the half, 10-7

[MikeVic]

Anyone else see the offensive pass interference call against Heath Miller to nullify the Steelers' first TD? Can someone explain to me if that was actually the correct call? It sure seemed like bullshit to me.

[Passacaglia]

Looks like Slaton on the bench in both leagues was not a good idea.

[Alan T]

Looks like Slaton on the bench in both leagues was not a good idea.

Looks like my playing against Slaton AND Phillip Rivers in fantasy football this week is not a good idea.

[NewIdentity]

Anyone else see the offensive pass interference call against Heath Miller to nullify the Steelers' first TD? Can someone explain to me if that was actually the correct call? It sure seemed like bullshit to me.
Yeah, I didn't understand the call since the hit came basically at the line of scrimage.

[Honolulu_Blue]

How much does it cost to get the Red Zone channel? We have it available as well, I just didn't figure I would get it since I keep track of what is happening in other games online. If it is fairly inexpensive, I might go for it.

I depends on your cable/satellite provider.

For Comcast, it comes part of the Sports Package, which is $8 per month. For $2 a week, that's pretty sweet. Just remember to cancel it once the regular season ends.

[Radii]

So those 49'ers looking good through week 3?

I blame Brett Favre.

[Masked]

Yeah, I didn't understand the call since the hit came basically at the line of scrimage.

I didn't see the play, but that sounds like it could have been an illegal pick which is technically offensive pass interference.

[sovereignstar]

RUN THE FUCKING BALL WITH AD!

[Radii]

RUN THE FUCKING BALL WITH AD!

no kidding. That goal line series was infuriating.

[mauchow]

Childress is top three worst coach in the NFL.

[Abe Sargent]

Childress is top three worst coach in the NFL.

I don;t know, there are a ton of awful game managers in the NFl. It's defiantely a league of haves and have not wjhen it comes to coaches.

[Crapshoot]

Alex Smith is reviving his career right here.

[mauchow]

I don;t know, there are a ton of awful game managers in the NFl. It's defiantely a league of haves and have not wjhen it comes to coaches.

I don't remember a game where it was 100% properly managed in all facets of the game for the Vikings. Usually there is MORE than just one issue.

He is way too conservative and that is a huge problem. He cannot manage time for shit. He's a horrible challenger. The list could go on and on yet he'll get a nice extensions because the Vikings have top three talent in the NFL.

[mauchow]

Sydney Rice is emerging as one of the better WRs in the NFL with Favre at the helm. He just made an amazing catch that was lofted up way too softly from Favre. Got both feet in before getting crushed at the sideline.

At least Chilly will get that challenge correctly.

[sovereignstar]

Good challenge here, regardless if the refs screw it up.

[RedKingGold]

Alex Smith is reviving his career right here.

Have been very impressed with him off the bench. I just can't understand why the 49er's have been so reluctant to use the spread a lot more. It's clear he can be a very effective QB in that system.

Also, I love what I'm seeing from Michael Crabtree today. He's got great hands.

[Crapshoot]

Alex Smith has now thrown 3 TD's to Vernon Davis. Wow.

[jbergey22]

Refs are fucking joke in this Steelers/Vikings game. How many phantom holds/trips are they going to call on the Viking linemen?

[sovereignstar]

Karma for the refs.

[Rizon]

Alex Smith has now thrown 3 TD's to Vernon Davis. Wow.

I'm watching that game, and I still think that's a typo.

[Abe Sargent]

Totally agree that was bad by the kicker.

[Dr. Sak]

If it was a Beer or a Towel dispenser Reed would've tackled it.

[sabotai]

Refs are fucking joke in this Steelers/Vikings game. How many phantom holds/trips are they going to call on the Viking linemen?

That tripping call on the TD pass was absolutely horrible.

[terpkristin]

Alex Smith has now thrown 3 TD's to Vernon Davis. Wow.

As we used to say at Maryland, I LOVE VD.

Yeah, it sounds pretty awful. :D

/tk

[JPhillips]

Childress is top three worst coach in the NFL.

Really? Just off the top of my head, which one of Zorn, Cable and Mangini is ahead of Childress?

[sovereignstar]

ASHER ALLEN!

[Karlifornia]

The Niners gave a good 2nd half effort..but it won't be quite enough.

[RedKingGold]

Regardless if the 49er's tie/win the game, you have to give Smith the start against Indy based on this performance. Right?

[Eaglesfan27]

Regardless if the 49er's tie/win the game, you have to give Smith the start against Indy based on this performance. Right?

I would if I was the coach. From what I've seen, he's looked great and he might pull off this comeback.

[jbergey22]

Ap sent a message

[sovereignstar]

Adrian Petersen just ran the fuck over some Gay dude.

[TroyF]

Been focusing on the Steelers/Vikings game today and I have to agree how horrific the refs have been. Phantom holding/tripping calls all over the place. This is another one of those games where you just shake your head. On a lot of these calls, we aren't talking about difficult decisions. The supposed trip was right in the middle of the field with nobody to distract the ref. Just a horrible call. (and no, the return doesn't make up for it, the Vikings SHOULD have been up 4 with the Steelers having the ball now)

Alex Smith is going off in that Texans/Niners game. Sensational.

So I want to get this straight. Heyword-Bey gets the entire preseason in. Six full games, 2 catches. Crabtree comes in after six regular season games, has a bye week of practice and catches 5 balls for over 50 yards? good job Mr. Davis. Please stay healthy.

last thing I saw before finishing this up was All Day destroying somebody. What a player.

[sovereignstar]

lol

[Rizon]

49'ers lose

[Abe Sargent]

HAHA Farve

[Greyroofoo]

TD Favre!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ;)

[Eaglesfan27]

Pittsburgh's defensive unit getting it done today.

[Karlifornia]

I would if I was the coach. From what I've seen, he's looked great and he might pull off this comeback.

...and it's not like Shaun Hill is some legend that has tenure.

[Passacaglia]

That's one of those where the guy should have stopped at the 1 yard line, right? Now the Vikings have one minute to get 10 points. Not likely, but it would have been game over.

[DaddyTorgo]

bah - unexciting ends to both of these games apparently

[Karlifornia]

So those 49'ers looking good through week 3?

Oh, and shut up, Lions fan. Make it to the playoffs more than once every 50 years and we can talk.

[RedKingGold]

How can the Steelers be playing the Vikings and the Raiders at the same time?

[Swaggs]

I liked how the Steelers' Ryan Clark (#25) kept looking back to see if he was going to have to try and block the Vikings huge lineman (Loadholt?) #71 on that return.

[jbergey22]

Vikings dominate the 4th quarter yet get outscored 14-7 and lose. Unbelievable.

[jbergey22]

HAHA Farve

You blame that on Favre? What about the great hands Chester showed?

[mauchow]

Uggghh.

Chester usually has good hands but I completely disagree with that play call. Screens were not working all day long and it costs us the game. 14 points on defense for the Steelers and the refs help a little, too.

[SackAttack]

So who's more to blame on that one? Favre or Taylor?

[jbergey22]

How can the Steelers be playing the Vikings and the Raiders at the same time?

I really dont think the Raiders would have dominated time of possession like this against the Steelers.

[Swaggs]

You blame that on Favre? What about the great hands Chester showed?

That was a crap pass by Favre -- he fired it over Taylor's head from under 10-yards away. It probably would have been better if Taylor hadn't have tried to catch it and let it sail incomplete.

[Mustang]

You blame that on Favre? What about the great hands Chester showed?

You are now a true Favre fan. Favre can do no wrong.

You take the good you take the bad
You take em both and there you have the Facts of Favre...

[Passacaglia]

Alex Smith has now thrown 3 TD's to Vernon Davis. Wow.

Vernon Davis? Another guy on my fantasy bench. 45 points between him and Slaton in one of my leagues. In their place I had Gates and Hightower -- so we've got 5 points so far, Hightower just needs 40 to make that even.

[jbergey22]

That was a crap pass by Favre -- he fired it over Taylor's head from under 10-yards away. It probably would have been better if Taylor hadn't have tried to catch it and let it sail incomplete.

Wasnt a great pass but its one Chester makes 9 out of 10 times. He certainly doesnt usally knock it straight up in the air.

[TroyF]

Vikings don't have anything bad to feel in this one. They drop to 6-1 and played the Steelers to a draw in Pittsburgh. No tripping call and it's the Vikings by four in the fourth. A goofy tipped screen pass and they are driving for the winning score.

Now for the afternoon affairs. Three I'm looking forward to. Jets/Raiders and Bills/Panthers? Not so much.

[Abe Sargent]

You blame that on Favre? What about the great hands Chester showed?

No, you're are right, the pass wasn;t classic Farve pick or anything, I was just more celebrating that the doucebag lost on one of his picks, if that makes sense.

[Neuqua]

If Cutler makes the same play Favre does, jbergey is all over it.

[cougarfreak]

Wow.........Bengals made it look easy that first drive.

[jbergey22]

If Cutler makes the same play Favre does, jbergey is all over it.

Cutler usually has 4-5 similiar plays throughout a game though.

[Rizon]

What is up in the Miami game?

(11:29) C.Henne pass short right to D.Bess to MIA 44 for 8 yards (R.Gay). Replay Equipment Malfunction- Play not reviewed New Orleans challenged the pass completion ruling, and the play was Upheld. (Timeout #1.)

[Radii]

hey look, its jake delhomme under no pressure massively overthrowing his receiver for an interception.

[Masked]

Miami receiver didn't catch the ball on a third down conversion but it was ruled a catch. Saints challenge. Cue conspiracy theory - home teams equipment doesn't work so the play can't be reviewed.

[Tigercat]

What is up in the Miami game?

(11:29) C.Henne pass short right to D.Bess to MIA 44 for 8 yards (R.Gay). Replay Equipment Malfunction- Play not reviewed New Orleans challenged the pass completion ruling, and the play was Upheld. (Timeout #1.)

Exactly what it says, and the replays show it was incomplete. Saints got screwed on that one. Heaven forbid in that instance the refs look up at the scoreboard to see the obvious.

[Greyroofoo]

Raiders looking good in the 1st quarter.

[RedKingGold]

I really dont think the Raiders would have dominated time of possession like this against the Steelers.

I was commenting more on the Jets throwback uniforms look like Steelers away(s) at first glance.

But.....yeah.

[Abe Sargent]

Don;t worry, I got it.

[Crapshoot]

Oh, and shut up, Lions fan. Make it to the playoffs more than once every 50 years and we can talk.

Winner! :D

And yeah, he looked good. Shaun Hill has spent every day of his 49ers career looking over his shoulder at more talented guys (of which Smith is, no doubt); this should be no different.

[Neuqua]

Bengals simply dominating the Bears so far.

[JPhillips]

I think it's fair to say Benson is up for the Chicago game. 8 carries for 70 yards in the first quarter.

[Abe Sargent]

hello Cincinnati

[SackAttack]

What was the deal with that dude shoving the girl out of the way when #85 was tossing the ball to her? You could see her gesturing after he almost fell out of the stands, like, "What the fuck, man?"

[Tigercat]

Saints player spikes the ball in frustration, like players do 10+ times a game and he gets called for a personal foul. Very next play a Dolphins player carries an already tackled(by another player) ball carrier 5 yards down the field, and the ref just tells the Miami guy to watch himself. WTF.

[stevew]

Classic Favre.

[jbergey22]

Have the real Saints awaken?

[RedKingGold]

Have the real Saints awaken?

It depends on when you last did post.

[Coffee Warlord]

Anytime the Bears wanna play defense, fine by me.

[Abe Sargent]

Dang cincy

[Abe Sargent]

The Bears are doing thei best Tennessee impression!

[Tigercat]

Have the real Saints awaken?


Yes because one quarter on the road against a pretty good team coming off a bye negates the rest of the season.

[RedKingGold]

Roy Williams next job: Catching babies falling out of apartment high-rise windows.

[Abe Sargent]

Yes because one quarter on the road against a pretty good team coming off a bye negates the rest of the season.

I actually laughed

[cartman]

Once the league office gets a hold of the game tape from the Minnesota-Pitt game, the Vikings Jeff Dugan is going to be out some cash and probably have to sit out a few games.

[Abe Sargent]

If the Bengals cna continue this post-halftime this is going to be something

[Coffee Warlord]

Yyyyeah, I'm done watching that fiasco for awhile.

[Abe Sargent]

Seeing where you are from, I can imagine you would be ;)

[Tigercat]

Every aspect of the Saints team is having their worst game of the season, from Brees to the defense. Giant snowball effect leading to a blowout so far.

[Suburban Rhythm]

Once the league office gets a hold of the game tape from the Minnesota-Pitt game, the Vikings Jeff Dugan is going to be out some cash and probably have to sit out a few games.

In reference to the tripping call, or him taking out the back judge from behind on Harvin's KR?

[Abe Sargent]

And now it is official, the Bears have lost.

[cartman]

In reference to the tripping call, or him taking out the back judge from behind on Harvin's KR?

Taking out the ref that threw the flag on him. It was pretty clear that was his intent.

[Greyroofoo]

Nice play by Romo

[Tigercat]

The review feed in Miami is now miraculously working after a bad call on the field went against Miami.

[Tigercat]

Dola, ha but the refs don't overturn it. Take that review feed saboteurs.

[Abe Sargent]

Taking out the ref that threw the flag on him. It was pretty clear that was his intent.

I saw it live, but I'd like to see it again. I hope it's on the replay shows.

[Abe Sargent]

The review feed in Miami is now miraculously working after a bad call on the field went against Miami.

How hard is it to pass a rule that says replay can;t be used by either side during a half in which it suffers an equipment malfunction that prevents one side from challenging.

[Masked]

How hard is it to pass a rule that says replay can;t be used by either side during a half in which it suffers an equipment malfunction that prevents one side from challenging.

The review that would have been beneficial for Miami was inside of two minutes, so it was initiated by the booth not Miami.

[Abe Sargent]

Ah gotcha, I thought from what someone else said it was reviewed by challenge. Thanks!

[Abe Sargent]

WOWOWOW

[TroyF]

I watched the play a few times and didn't see it as intentional. I did think it was classless of him to continue running and celebrating the TD without checking on the ref. You are in full pads pal. You hit an old guy who doesn't have pads, maybe the best thing to do is to go back and at least check on him. if they have an angle that shows he did do it intentionally, it shouldn't be money out of his pocket, it should be a multiple game suspension.

Yeha, good points

[Radii]

Delhomme throws his second INT on the day, 12th on the season. They keep showing a graphic on the screen about how DeAngelo Williams has 115ish yards while the entire Buffalo offense has less than 80 yards, yet Buffalo is winning.

[k0ruptr]

Huge review in the Dolphin game right now . I'm pretty sure he fumbled that before he got in, should be a touchback and Miami ball. Wow

[Eaglesfan27]

Looks to me like the fumble came before he crossed the goalline as well.

[k0ruptr]

Wow, thats a bad call. It was clear to me.

[k0ruptr]

Lucky break for the saints.

[Tigercat]

Bad call IMO, but no conclusive view so I think that was the right call post replay.

[Tigercat]

Lucky break for the saints.

Agreed, but if Miami would have gotten a touchback on that type of right at the goalline play off a great INT effort, that would have been a lucky break in of itself.

[Abe Sargent]

Man, Im enjoying the Bengals crush, but youve got the change the game now Fox.

[Masked]

Lucky break for the saints.

Quite possibly - probably was out, but there wasn't a camera on the goal line to make it indisputable.

Makes up for the replay malfunction earlier.

[Lathum]

The ugliest play I ever saw just happened in the Jets-Raiders game.

[Lathum]

dola- Why is Sanchez still in the game?

[TroyF]

Stunned they gave that to him. Looked obvious to me as well.

Out of 11 games today, we have 6 of them with woodshed type beatings. In 2 of the others, teams had 21 point leads before the games got close.

Only games I'm not counting on the list: Vikings/Steelers, Falcons/Cowboys, Bills/Panthers (a game that has a chance of turning ugly)

[Abe Sargent]

Okay, can we NOW change the game Fox?

[jbergey22]

Okay, can we NOW change the game Fox?

We could miss a record setting performance. What is the most pics thrown in a game?

[TroyF]

Okay, can we NOW change the game Fox?'

this is unbelievable. Fox has two solid games right now and instead we get to watch a team get blasted by 35+ points. Makes no sense.

[TroyF]

SENSATIONAL interception in the Dolphins game.

[Tigercat]

Dolphins CBs are doing an awesome job of knocking balls out of the Saints WRs hands, especially Colston. Great INT off of Colston's body there.

[Neuqua]

I'm in the Chicago market and even I want them to switch at this point. Mercy.

[Karlifornia]

Why is CBS showing Carolina/Buffalo in the SF Bay Area? I guess I should be glad they're showing anything. I should be really glad the Raiders got blacked out.

[TroyF]

It's going to be 45-3 in a second. Maybe they can just call this one?

In other news, if (and I stress if) the Saints do end up losing, we'll only have the possibility of unbeaten teams playing again down to one possibility. Broncos @ Colts week 14. OK, so you can say we will not see it happen again this year.

[Karlifornia]

Jake Delhomme needs to be put down. He's like Eight Belles. That should be his new nickname. Jake "Eight Belles" Delhomme.

[Neuqua]

Cutler needs to be taken out. He's been given no chance back there, and everyone knows he's going to pass.

[jbergey22]

Golf clap for the Bears.

[Rizon]

They've been blacked out a few times this year I think, which is awesome.

[kingfc22]

Hopefully this gets the Niners out of their "run it into the damn line on every play mode". Smith looked very comfortable back their with the more open offense and so did the O-Line.

Davis, Crabtree, Morgan give him some good options to throw to which might open up the run game again for Gore.

[Radii]

i've never seen a team use their timeouts with over 6 minutes left like this...

Carolina scored to cut the bills lead to 8. Buffalo gets the ball on the kickoff and runs for short gains on first and second downs, and Carolina uses timeouts on each play to stop the clock. With 6:15 left, really?

I'm not even sure this is that bad, its just very very strange.

[Radii]

hahah, Carolina's punt returner muffs the punt and Buffalo recovers after a great stop on 3rd down to force the punt. God this is painful.

[MJ4H]

Cowboys slam the door on the Falcons, 34-14 now.

[kingfc22]

Jaminkus finally got benched. MUAHAHAH!

What a joke this guy has become.

[henry296]

I wonder if this is the worst week every in terms of close games. The current avg. margin of victory (if current scores stand) is over 22 points.

[kingfc22]

This underscores my point from last week. When was the last time there were so many pathetic teams in the NFL at once that just couldn't compete unless they were playing each other?

[tucker rocky]

NO/Miami playing an exciting one folks.

If anybody is interested.

[mauchow]

Still showing the Raiders/Jets here....

[Karlifornia]

Days like today make me wish I had Sunday Ticket

[kingfc22]

Saints - Dolphins is turning into a shootout!

[kingfc22]

NO/Miami playing an exciting one folks.

If anybody is interested.

Thank god for NFL Redzone on Comcast.

[Tigercat]

Yea, Saints Dolphins is the longest craziest game I have seen in a while

[Radii]

Delhomme ends the day with his 3rd INT of the game, 13th of the year. Thank god Carolina locked him up with a long extension, really.

[SackAttack]

This underscores my point from last week. When was the last time there were so many pathetic teams in the NFL at once that just couldn't compete unless they were playing each other?

You say that, and Fox just showed their promo for next week's doubleheader. Apparently some people will be getting Rams/Lions. If you're assigned to the tech crew for that game for Fox, doesn't that feel kinda like getting shipped to Siberia?

[tucker rocky]

Yea, Saints Dolphins is the longest craziest game I have seen in a while


That double reverse TD by NO was fun to watch.

[JPhillips]

Why is Benson still in the game with 37 carries?

[SackAttack]

Why is Benson still in the game with 37 carries?

Cuz he WANTS to be.

[jbergey22]

Almost kind of feel sorry for the Bears. Benson almost runs for 200, Cutler throws 3 pics, the defense looks like a shell of what they used to be. I really cant think of how it could have been any worse.

[Radii]

That double reverse TD by NO was fun to watch.

I was afraid I was exaggerating when I told a buddy that Reggie Bush leapt from the 5 yard line, then I watched the replays and saw that he took off from the 6, awesome.

[Passacaglia]

this is unbelievable. Fox has two solid games right now and instead we get to watch a team get blasted by 35+ points. Makes no sense.

I expected to have to wait until that game was over to watch some real football here in Chicago, but I'm surprised they didn't switch in other markets.

[RedKingGold]

Okay, can we NOW change the game Fox?

<--------- hugs the RedZone channel.

Seriously, RedZone channel is why I have lost interest in college football this season. I have little interest in watching commercials or blowouts, thank you.

[Masked]

Dolphins were caught off guard on the QB sneak from the 2

[Rizon]

Wooo, missed extra point!

[k0ruptr]

LOL Carney just missed an XP! it stays a 3 point game!

[Tigercat]

Carney is a boarderline hall of famer at kicker, but man is he a shanked extra point professional.

[Masked]

LOL Carney just missed an XP! it stays a 3 point game!

Bad snap and the holder had trouble getting the ball down.

[Passacaglia]

Have the real Saints awaken?

Nope, it looks like the fake Saints are back.

[Vince, Pt. II]

So I'm watching the Niner game at my parent's house on DVR because of a Soccer game I played in this morning. Mounting a furious comeback, the Niners let the punt bounce and get touched by the Texans with just under 2 minutes to play down by three...and the recording at my parents' house stops there because they forgot to put extra time on the recording.

I decide to rush home to my house, because I know that I put the extra time on...only to see Alex Smith version 1.0 throw a horrible pass on 4th down to end it. How anticlimactic.

[Rizon]

Wow, I thought Brunnell retired years ago.

[RedKingGold]

Miles Austin may be one heck of a player, but he looks like a Goomba from Super Mario Bros when he smiles with his teeth out.

[Eaglesfan27]

Fasano has to hold onto that catch. That was a nice throw by Ronnie.

[jbergey22]

Nope, it looks like the fake Saints are back.

They are looking a lot like the Saints from past years today. Great offense with paper mache defense.

[Passacaglia]

Wow, I thought Brunnell retired years ago.

I saw him play last week, though I already forget where. A friend of mine became a huge Packers fan because she had a crush on him in the early 90s when he was their backup, so I was going to mention to her that she was still in the league, but I forgot.

[RedKingGold]

They are looking a lot like the Saints from past years today. Great offense with paper mache defense.

Give that Miami coaching staff two weeks to prepare and playing at home, and I bet they make any defense look paper mache.

[Passacaglia]

So they switched from the Bears-Bengals to Cowboys-Falcons...it's looking like no Saints-Dolphins game after? Is that on Fox?

[RedKingGold]

JBERGEY!

[jbergey22]

Give that Miami coaching staff two weeks to prepare and playing at home, and I bet they make any defense look paper mache.

I wish there was a way we could bet on this:)

[Masked]

They are looking a lot like the Saints from past years today. Great offense with paper mache defense.

I agree that the score certainly suggests that, but if you were actually watching the game you'd know that 4 Drew Brees turnovers have given the Dolphins great field position. The Dolphins only have 256 yards of offense.

Defense isn't stellar, but it is far better than prior years.

[Passacaglia]

They are looking a lot like the Saints from past years today. Great offense with paper mache defense.

Seems like they're doing all right in the 2nd half, allowing 10 points and scoring 7.

[Matthean]

It's on Fox.

The Dolphins game reminds me of the 80s ... Miami putting up points and their defense getting steamrolled.

[kingfc22]

<--------- hugs the RedZone channel.

+1 :D

[Passacaglia]

It's on Fox.

<input id="gwProxy" type="hidden"><!--Session data--><input onclick="jsCall();" id="jsProxy" type="hidden">

Thanks. They're finally switching over now. They had to come back from commercial and show us some players walking around and celebrating before they could cut to it.

[Passacaglia]

Pierre Thomas just tackled Reggie Bush.

[kingfc22]

Bush just got hammered by one of his own guys trying to throw a block for him. LOL.

[k0ruptr]

David Thomas I think it was.

[Passacaglia]

David Thomas I think it was.

I had a feeling it was some other Thomas. Oh well.

[kingfc22]

David Thomas I think it was.

Yea, it was a TE not Pierre.

[k0ruptr]

6 point game. 3 :23 to go, Lets go Phins!

[jbergey22]

Dolphins averaging 5.3 yards per play today. Lets see if these Saints can play championship defense when it matters.

[k0ruptr]

Although I really think the Saints were gifted a TD on that non reversal of the pick for touchdown that wasn't.

[k0ruptr]

Ricky Williams has really played his role great the last 2 seasons.

oh and Ted Ginn still sucks.

[Passacaglia]

Nice drop by Ginn.

[k0ruptr]

Wow, thats a fucked up penalty. If thats what he really meant to do, what an Idiot. I'm not sold that he wasn't just fumbling it though.

[k0ruptr]

Dolphins doing there best to lose!

[Tigercat]

Dolphins can't get the short passes going in this drive.

[Eaglesfan27]

That was some horrible pursuit logic on that interception return.

[Masked]

Wow, thats a fucked up penalty. If thats what he really meant to do, what an Idiot. I'm not sold that he wasn't just fumbling it though.

I think (but I'm biased) that he was trying to fumble the ball out of out of bounds to stop the clock. He tossed the ball forward when he did that.

[sabotai]

Wow, thats a fucked up penalty. If thats what he really meant to do, what an Idiot. I'm not sold that he wasn't just fumbling it though.

I thought he did that on purpose. If not, kinda sucks but it did appear to me like he threw it at the sideline. And yes, it was an incredibly stupid thing to do.

[k0ruptr]

Game over. Phins put up an effort but it wasn't good enough.

[kingfc22]

And this one is over.

Now time to kill before the Sunday Night game

[RendeR]

Turn out the lights and serve the sushi....=)

[Groundhog]

Did I read the summary correctly, Reggie Bush with a 10-yard rushing TD? Is that a career best rush for him?

[kingfc22]

It was on a reverse, so I don't think it really counts.

[Matthean]

Miles Austin, 16 rec. 421 yards and 4 TDs the past two games.<input id="gwProxy" type="hidden"><!--Session data--><input onclick="jsCall();" id="jsProxy" type="hidden">

[bhlloy]

No doubt in my mind Camarillo underhanded it towards the sideline. What a stupid play around midfield with the 2 minute warning and 2 TO's still on the board. No reason he had to get out of bounds.

[Passacaglia]

Yep. You could tell he was trying to head for the sideline from the start, which is a smart play, but he just got way too clever about it.

[SackAttack]

Is Ted Ginn, Jr. really as bad a receiver as he looked after Fox switched over from the Cowboys and Falcons?

[Buccaneer]

Is Ted Ginn, Jr. really as bad a receiver as he looked after Fox switched over from the Cowboys and Falcons?

I was going to ask the same question.

[Abe Sargent]

I was hoping for OT in the sAints/Phins game just to see how lon gthey game could go into baseball coverage

[larrymcg421]

Is Ted Ginn, Jr. really as bad a receiver as he looked after Fox switched over from the Cowboys and Falcons?

Even worse. You missed the earlier play in the game where he can't hold on to a pass, bats it up in the air, and it gets returned for a TD.

[Lathum]

100% that was a fumble.

[Abe Sargent]

This week has not been good football week.

[Tigercat]

100% that was a fumble.

100% that the tip of the ball didn't break the plane? Hard to be 100% sure when no angle showed it at a good angle. I am pretty sure it was fumbled before the goalline myself, but the right call was made post replay, you can't take away a TD like that with the kind of views of the goalline they had. Regardless it was a play right at the goalline, if you are Miami you can't hang your hat on that being THE play especially when it was in the third quarter of a high scoring game.

[Neuqua]

I thought Lathum was referring to the Giants game, and Hightower's fumble.
