NFL Week 7

[JeeberD]

Turnover fest in Houston so far...

[DaddyTorgo]

14-0 Pats so far after 10 minutes. Brady 7/7 with 2 td's, Pats offense outgaining the Dolphins by a 50:1 ratio

[DeToxRox]

Give brady the fucking MVP right now, this is absurd. 23 TD - 2 INT?

[JeeberD]

Glad I grabbed Kyle Brady at the last minute for the Alma Mater fantasy league... :)

[DaddyTorgo]

Give brady the fucking MVP right now, this is absurd. 23 TD - 2 INT?

mmmhmm


qb rating for the season 130+

[MikeVic]

Ginn with a catch!

[JeeberD]

Turnover fest in Houston so far...

5:41 left in the first quarter and there have been FOUR turnovers so far! :eek:

[DaddyTorgo]

dolphins score. Pats run ensuing kickoff back 74 yds (they kicked short away from ellis hobbes) for a td

[Rizon]

Give brady the fucking MVP right now, this is absurd. 23 TD - 2 INT?

40 TD / 2 INT after the Dolphins game.

[jeff061]

Moss is crazy.

[JeeberD]

Holy crap, what a catch by Moss!

[jeff061]

So when do you not throw to Moss?

[Rizon]

So when do you not throw to Moss?

When Welker is open for a TD.

[Rizon]

You and me
We come from different worlds
You like to laugh at me
When I look at other girls
Sometimes you're crazy
And you wonder why
I'm such a baby
Cause the Dolphins make me cry

[jeff061]

Another one. Just keep throwing jump ball bombs to Moss in the end zone.

[molson]

Good lord - 35-7 Pats, 6 minutes before halftime. 4 TDs already for Brady, including 2 jump balls to Moss.

[Raiders Army]

Just fucking ridiculous here. Randy Moss!?!?!?!?!

[sterlingice]

Sweet Jesus. Tom Brady with another quality fantasy day... in the first half.

SI

[JeeberD]

And to think that I was afraid I may have been pushing it with my 48-10 (http://www.operationsports.com/fofc/showpost.php?p=1575337&postcount=14) prediction for this game...

[jeff061]

Brady: 11/11, 220, 4/0. Brady's like Pedro Martinez during his peak with the Sox, I keep waiting for an off day and he just ratchets the expectations up.

[Crapshoot]

Wait, NE has 35 in the first half? Is this team trying to win, or destroy? Just wow.

[DaddyTorgo]

this really isn't fair

[DaddyTorgo]

holy shit...really this isn't fair

[Rizon]

In all seriousness: Should the Dolphins be contracted? They aren't making any real effort this season, and haven't for a while now, and won't again for the near future.

[DaddyTorgo]

can brady throw another one or two in the half and then take the 2nd half off??

[Rizon]

The Dolphins should be ashamed. The NFL should really step in and do something about this team. Just call the game at halftime.

[Rizon]

TOM BRADY INCOMPLETION!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[larrymcg421]

The sad thing is Huizenga will probably make excuses for Cameron, saying it's a rebuilding year and we need to give him a chance. So he'll get at least another season to destroy the team some more. That's the scary part. The Dolphins are only going to get worse.

[DeToxRox]

Jeff Garcia has 18 consecutive completions vs Detroit .. Detroit is up 10-7 somehow and driving.

[gstelmack]

Wait, NE has 35 in the first half? Is this team trying to win, or destroy? Just wow.

I believe that after all the ruckus over the videotaping, most especially the questioning of the credibility of their 3 Super Bowl wins, the answer is clearly "destroy". Simmons had a good point last week about the "F-U TD" they keep scoring in each game.

[molson]

The sad thing is Huizenga will probably make excuses for Cameron, saying it's a rebuilding year and we need to give him a chance. So he'll get at least another season to destroy the team some more. That's the scary part. The Dolphins are only going to get worse.

Do you really think the coach is the problem right now? I mean, what do you think a great coach does with this team?

[Rizon]

Do you really think the coach is the problem right now? I mean, what do you think a great coach does with this team?

I think my blame goes like this:

1) Huizenga: For running this team into the ground since he bought it.
2) Mueller: Overrated GM who hasn't made the right moves in Miami.
3) Cameron: Way in over his head. Great coordinator, poor coach.

Not counting any of the previous morons who have helped drive this team into the ground, like Saban and Wanny.

[larrymcg421]

Do you really think the coach is the problem right now? I mean, what do you think a great coach does with this team?

Well the coach is largely at fault for the current state of the team. Sure it was bad when he got here, but he made it worse with horrible personnel decisions. I see no reason why he'll suddenly make great personnel decisions in the future. Furthermore, some really bad playcalling definitely cost us one win and probably two others.

[Rizon]

GameCenter has a Dolphins DL kicking the last punt? Did that happen? Are we trying out new punters now?

[Rizon]

For what it's worth:

Welker: 95 total yards (2nd round pick)
Ginn: 70 total yards (1st round pick)

[larrymcg421]

This still won't be the most embarassing game in Dolphins history. We can thank Jimmy for that.

[jeff061]

So 5 TDs in the 1st half for Mr. Brady.

[Raiders Army]

Runnin' up the score.

[DaddyTorgo]

#5 for Brady in the first half.

10 td's in 6 quarters.

brady's going for a career-high in td's in this game I think and then he'll take a seat for most the 2nd half

[Rizon]

Brady: 5th TD

OMG

[Icy]

This is really embarrasing for the Dolphins fans to watch, can't we just give out and don't play the second half?

[DaddyTorgo]

does this answer once and for all the

"Brady vs. Manning" debate??

[jeff061]

I'm pretty loose on the definition of "running it up". I'm good with that drive where they just embarrassed them even though the score was already 35-7. But now's the time to take it easy :).

[jeff061]

does this answer once and for all the

"Brady vs. Manning" debate??

Nah, that will never be answered and I'm ok with that. The only thing we can all agree on is Manning is much more irritating to watch. :p

[sterlingice]

Can you be considered "running up the score" in the first half?

SI

[miked]

I have Brady, Moss and WAS DEF. With just those 3, I'm already ahead by 50 and I still have LJ, Jordan, Witten and Northcutt.

[Raiders Army]

Times like this I'm glad I have the Sunday Ticket. Time to change the channel.

[JeeberD]

What's the NFL record for TD passes in a game? Seven? Do the Patsies leave Brady in to break the record?

[DeToxRox]

Running up the score doesn't exist in Pro Football.

This is these guys jobs. You don't stop working at work if you have a productive day.

[molson]

does this answer once and for all the

"Brady vs. Manning" debate??

The Colts have a pretty good record too right now.

You don't you gain points in that debate by putting up meaningless TDs against the Dolphins, even though it's fun to watch.

[Rizon]

Just watched the two TDs by Moss: Wow, both on double-coverage. I didn't catch the DBs the Dolphins had, but I was surprised to see R. Hill is STILL on the roster. He got burned for what, 45 TDs last year? God he sucks.

[Atocep]

does this answer once and for all the

"Brady vs. Manning" debate??

Considering Manning has played better every year of his career so far I'm pretty sure there was never any doubt.

[jeff061]

Considering Manning has played better every year of his career so far I'm pretty sure there was never any doubt.

Just stop it. Both of ya.

[Rizon]

You know, I have no problem with the Pats running up the score. I hope they score a 100 points. I'm actually rooting AGAINST my own team, I'm that angry and upset. You know what: Fuck the Dolphins. Fuck all their players and coaches. Fuck Huizenga. Fuck Miami. Fuck them all.

[Thomkal]

well this is the fourth Cardinal game I've been able to watch on TV this season (South Carolina), and while I'm happy about that, I think at this point I'd rather not watch them. Man they are just playing some ugly football right now-2 INT's from Warner (one after a blocked punt), numerous penalties killing what would have been 1st downs. Then they got a gift INT, got a TD off of it (going for it on fourth down), then botched the extra point. It's never easy for my beloved Cards

[DeToxRox]

Big 44 yard TD for Willis McGahee makes my fantasy team smile

[JonInMiddleGA]

Feel free to correct me if I've got this wrong, but best I can tell the record for TD passes in a game is 7 (Manning had a six TD game)

Sid Luckman, Chi. Bears vs. N.Y. Giants, Nov. 14, 1943
Adrian Burk, Philadelphia vs. Washington, Oct. 17, 1954
George Blanda, Houston vs. N.Y. Titans, Nov. 19, 1961
Y.A. Tittle, N.Y. Giants vs. Washington, Oct. 28, 1962
Joe Kapp, Minnesota vs. Baltimore, Sept. 28, 1969

[JonInMiddleGA]

Big 44 yard TD for Willis McGahee makes my fantasy team smile

Noooooo :(
(one of my fantasy opponents has him, and I'd really hate to end up losing to a guy who started two players on bye weeks)

[Icy]

I want NE to keep playing Brady at full speed in the second half, i want my loved Dolphins to beat the most allowed TD ever in a game record, to end this season 0-16, to see the fans in front of Huizenga home blamming him and let's see if that way finally somebody at he Dolphins ownership could realize they are doing something wrong.

[molson]

Considering Manning has played better every year of his career so far I'm pretty sure there was never any doubt.

Every year? Including the ones he flamed out against the Pats in the playoffs.

The debate keeps getting better though. I always thought Manning was maybe a stronger all-around QB, but Brady's a better choice if you have less talent around the QB to work with.

Brady's a piece of a amazing Patriots machine. I'm sure Manning would also be unstoppable with this WR crew and O-line backing him up. But I'd also like to see what Manning could do with Reche Caldwell as his main WR.

[Icy]

You know, I have no problem with the Pats running up the score. I hope they score a 100 points. I'm actually rooting AGAINST my own team, I'm that angry and upset. You know what: Fuck the Dolphins. Fuck all their players and coaches. Fuck Huizenga. Fuck Miami. Fuck them all.

100% agree as i said in my post.

[cartman]

Houston's offense has been pathetic. They only managed 24 yards in the entire first half. If Tennessee could do more than kick field goals, this game would be over already. As it is, the score is 22-7.

[GrantDawg]

For the two people who care...

Leftwich has looked decent, but the announcers make it sound like he has been a huge upgrade. Honestly, it looks almost identical to me. Joey and Byron look good when they have time, but whenever there is a blitz, the qb goes down. Why there aren't at least 5 guys coming every play versus the Falcons is beyond me. Zone= completion, blitz= sack.

[DeToxRox]

49ers are so abysmal offensivley it's not even funny.

[Atocep]

Why there aren't at least 5 guys coming every play versus the Falcons is beyond me.

Probably because its New Orleans. Their secondary is so bad if they blitz its as good as leaving the Falcons receivers uncovered.

[JeeberD]

Titans kicker Rod Bironas just made his sixth FG of the day with most of the second half left. The NFL record for one game is seven, so he has a damn good shot at breaking that...

[GrantDawg]

Probably because its New Orleans. Their secondary is so bad if they blitz its as good as leaving the Falcons receivers uncovered.

Which doesn't matter if the qb is on the ground. Give Byron time, and they are going to open anyway. It is the same story all season. I have yet to figure out why anyone plays zone versus the Falcons.

[GrantDawg]

Leftwich is down. Who had the first drive in the second-half in the pool?

[st.cronin]

I really didn't think Randy Moss was going to have a very good season.

[DaddyTorgo]

I really didn't think Randy Moss was going to have a very good season.

hahah. And 6.5 games into the season he's tied for 2nd most receiving td's by a pats receiver ever

[Icy]

NOOOO now Ronnie Brown is injured and the replay shows that he twisted his leg/knee, i hope it was nothing.

[tucker rocky]

Leftwich is down. Who had the first drive in the second-half in the pool?


Whatelse is new?

This seems familiar.

[molson]

As much I'd love to see Brady through 3 more TDs, I hope this is is last drive. Let Cassell air it out a little, keep Brady safe on the bench.

[tucker rocky]

Whatelse is new?

This seems familiar.

Looks to be an old injury that didn't go away, while playing for Jax.

[Rizon]

NOOOO now Ronnie Brown is injured and the replay shows that he twisted his leg/knee, i hope it was nothing.

At this point, shouldn't we expect this? The only good player on the team, and best RB the Dolphins have had in 20+ years, and he has a potentially serious injury.

[Radii]

Leftwich has looked decent, but the announcers make it sound like he has been a huge upgrade.

These announcers are terrible. My favorite part of the game so far was at the end of the first half when they said that Leftwich has breathed new life into the Falcons and "has the 1-5 falcons ahead of the defending NFC South Champions!" as though this would be the upset of the year if Atlanta won.

[larrymcg421]

Who the fuck is Patrick Cobbs?

[Rizon]

Who the fuck is Patrick Cobbs?

I think that guy was a monster in Tecmo Super Bowl. He use to just run over people.

[Icy]

Question about Football sportsmanship. I'm not used in any other PRO sport where to keep scoring after winning by a good margin is thought as unsportsmanlike. For example, in soccer, if Real Madrid is winning 5-0 FB Barcelona, the fans will demand R.Madrid players to try to score more to beat a record and to humiliate the rival team.

I have read in different forums critics against the Pats for keeping on trying to score more but... what should they do? just to run the ball and kill time? umm well, I can understand it, but... then shouldn't Miami also stop to try to score? Else... what about if the loosing team scores again, and again and again and end loosing by 3 or even winning? would that be fair?

That is why i don't understand how to keep scoring is unsportsmanlike, if you want the winning team to stop to score, and the loosing one should stop to try to score too, then... why to keep playing? just throw the towel as in boxing and stop acting like playing a real PRO sport game.

[JeeberD]

Who the fuck is Patrick Cobbs?

UNT alum. GO MEAN GREEN!!!

[sterlingice]

I really didn't think Randy Moss was going to have a very good season.

I agree. I wouldn't touch him with a 10 foot pole in fantasy drafts. Guess I was wrong.

SI

You aren't joking. No one covering this game can say a players name without butchering it either. Not hard names either. Like Brew Drees.

I disagree with it being unsportsmanlike. This is a group of guys playing, not a group of crying women and children. If you don't have the skill to hang with the big boys, then just go home and do Accounting.

I remember several years ago, a pitcher from the Giants (Ortiz) I think, got really upset with a team stealing against him while they had a 5 run lead. He threw a HUGE fit about it. Next day, the Giants blew a 5 run lead to lose. Karma.

That being said, the Pats haven't made hardly any serious attempts to move the ball against the Dolphins in the second half. I see no reason to bash them.

[JeeberD]

Who the fuck is Patrick Cobbs?


Good grief, those Wiki people are fucking fast!

Miami Dolphins

Cobbs remained of the practice squad of the Miami Dolphins until November 27 when he was promoted to the active roster. The team was in need of depth at the running back position after starter Ronnie Brown suffered a broken hand in a Thanksgiving Day contest against the Detroit Lions just a few days prior to Cobbs' promotion.

He went on to play on special teams for three games before being inactive for the final two after Brown's return. Cobbs remains under contract with the Dolphins in 2007, and will likely compete for a backup job in training camp, given that both Sammy Morris and Travis Minor - the team's top two backups in 2006 - have since signed with other teams as unrestricted free agents. He has 2 carries for the 2007 season vs. New England and has 1 TD with 2 yards.

Dola,

Dolphins fans shouldn't EVER cry about running up a score. Remember the Alamo ... I mean, that monday night game against the Jets. :D

[DeToxRox]

Wow. Calvin Johnson scores on a sick reverse where he made a few people miss. What a freak.

[GrantDawg]

Wow. Calvin Johnson scores on a sick reverse where he made a few people miss. What a freak.


Good for him. Even though he is a Tech guy, I'm rooting for him to be the great player most prdicted him to be.

[DaddyTorgo]

6 td's for brady, and still plenty of time left in the game (8:11)

[Icy]

See what i meant? now the Pats had to bring back Brady to keep embarrassing us, that happens when you try to keep scoring while asking the other team to stop it.

[Rizon]

See what i meant? now the Pats had to bring back Brady to keep embarrassing us, that happens when you try to keep scoring while asking the other team to stop it.

And to Wes Welker, like pouring salt in our wounds.

Welker: 9 for 138, 2 TDs (2nd round pick)
Ginn: 3 for 37, 0 TDs (1st round pick)

[DaddyTorgo]

7 games in...Brady is 1 TD short of his career high

[JAG]

Wow. Calvin Johnson scores on a sick reverse where he made a few people miss. What a freak.

That was a fantastic reverse.

[JeeberD]

Despite a horrendous game, the Texans have cut the Titans lead to ten with seven minutes to go...

[Logan]

Trent Dilfer might murder someone today.

[JeeberD]

Heh, ANOTHER turnover for the Texans. Titans have the ball on Houston's 33 after a fumbled punt.

[JeeberD]

Christ...after a Titans punt, the Sage Rosenfels throws another pick. There have got to be like eight turnovers in this game so far...

[Thomkal]

what a bizarre ending to the cards game. Rattay comes in for one play, throws the TD. Go for the 2 point conversion with Rattay lined up as a slot receiver and Boldin as the QB. They hike it to Boldin who does a half-hearted job of running it towards the end zone, then throws it into the end zone and is intercepted.

Then on the on-side kick the cards recover and are now in FG range for a potential game winner.

[JeeberD]

Bironas of the Titans just made FG number 7...tying him for the NFL record with five other guys.

[Thomkal]

and missed the 55 yarder...sigh. Cards deserved to win this, defense was fantastic all game, offense came back after two warner INT's early, and warner showed a lot of guts playing all game with that brace on his arm and risking further injury.

[JeeberD]

Damn...I would have loved to see the Foreskins go down.

[JeeberD]

Rosenfels just led the Texans to a TD...down six with two minutes to go.

[JeeberD]

Texans recover the onsides kick with 1:32 left in the game!

[bulletsponge]

WTF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[cartman]

Holy crap!!! The Texans just got a TD to take the lead, pending the extra point.

[bulletsponge]

warm up Vince Young!

[JeeberD]

OMG, TD Cowboys in the first quarter!!!!! :eek:

[Schmidty]

Detroit Lions: Ugliest 4-2 team in history.

[JeeberD]

I picked the Texans to win this game, so this makes me happy despite the fact I hate the Texans...

[JeeberD]

Titans have the ball on the Texans 17!

[bulletsponge]

woops Texans celebrating too soon. looks like Titans just wanted to crush them twice in 1 game

[JeeberD]

Bironas can break the NFL FG record with a game winner here...

[JeeberD]

Bironas squeaks it through for the record and the lead.

[cartman]

It's good! 8 FGs in one game for Bironas.

[JeeberD]

Vikes going on 4th adn 1 early on

[JeeberD]

Peterson is close...

[JeeberD]

Made it by two inches. Bad spot by the refs...

[Greyroofoo]

How are the Lions 4-2?

[JeeberD]

Carp...TD AP.

Vikes just ran all over the 'Boys there.

[bulletsponge]

woot A Petersen scores! Vikes so lucky everyone passed on him

[bulletsponge]

im conflicted, the Vikes are my team, but the Boys are my second team

[k0ruptr]

SWEEEET my pic of AP in the alternate rules league is awesome.

[sooner333]

I was two picks away from taking AD in my league. Fun to see him do so well in the NFL after all the doubters.

[JeeberD]

im conflicted, the Vikes are my team, but the Boys are my second team

Dude, ALWAYS go with your first team.



Traitor.


;)

[Eaglesfan27]

I was two picks away from taking AD in my league. Fun to see him do so well in the NFL after all the doubters.

I don't think anyone doubted his talent. I think plenty of evaluators doubted his durability which hasn't been answered in less than a half of a season. I hope he stays healthy for a long time, he is fun to watch. I'm just not convinced he will.

[cartman]

I was two picks away from taking AD in my league. Fun to see him do so well in the NFL after all the doubters.

Let's see him make it through a whole season without getting injured before declaring victory. That is where a lot of the doubts came from. No doubt he was talented, but having a separated shoulder his freshman year, ankle problems his sophomore year, and the broken collarbone his junior year sure didn't give the impression of a durable back.

[JeeberD]

Dude, I love Tony Romo.

[k0ruptr]

I don't think anyone doubted his talent. I think plenty of evaluators doubted his durability which hasn't been answered in less than a half of a season. I hope he stays healthy for a long time, he is fun to watch. I'm just not convinced he will.

the Vikings are really going about it a smart way at least, even though he is completely outplaying Chester Taylor, they are still limiting APs carries.

Hey man, I loved me some Q. Fucker just couldn't quit the drugs.

Dola, You know as much as I hate the Cowboys, I think Jason Garrett is a helluva an OC

[k0ruptr]

Lol. that was cool.

[cartman]

That looked like a play from the Rugby World Cup yesterday.

[JeeberD]

You have GOT to be fucking kidding me. This is getting ridiculous. Looked like he stepped on the line after he recovered his own fumble, though.

[JeeberD]

Dola-

did you love Drew Henson as well?

NO

[k0ruptr]

You have GOT to be fucking kidding me. This is getting ridiculous. Looked like he stepped on the line after he recovered his own fumble, though.

Yea I thought so too.

[mckerney]

Dude, I love Tony Romo.

Tony Romo is an asshole.

Maybe someone should teach him how to tackle instead of sliding at a players legs.

[DeToxRox]

Romo has looked less then impressive the last three weeks.

[SackAttack]

You have GOT to be fucking kidding me. This is getting ridiculous. Looked like he stepped on the line after he recovered his own fumble, though.

That's what I thought. I was surprised the booth chose to review whether or not it was a catch, and not whether or not #23 actually stayed in bounds.

Also, what the hell was Romo thinking, trying to slide-tackle two of the Minnesota defenders that way?

[Logan]

9 catches by Witten in the first half.

[Eaglesfan27]

Thanks, Griese!

[Atocep]

The bears are terrible. I'd say its nice to still be in the Brohm sweepstakes (or at least get the top offensive lineman), but knowing Angelo he'd take a DT or a Safety with the #1 pick.

[st.cronin]

Wow, KC up 6-0, lines up for a field goal: Wide left. The next play, Culpepper completes a 59 yard bomb to Porter.

[st.cronin]

Dola, next play, 21 yard td pass to #34.

[cartman]

WOOT!!! Blocked FG returned for a TD by the Cowboys!

[k0ruptr]

Sweeeeeeet asss fantasy defensive points.

[Eaglesfan27]

What kind of BS rule is that!?!

[Raiders Army]

Hold 'em Raiders, hold 'em.

[Raiders Army]

Dammit

Man I feel bad for those in Philly who actually paid real money to watch this borefest.

[Raiders Army]

Bad challenge Kiff

[Raiders Army]

Bowe just knocked down the umpire. LOL.

[Raiders Army]

Game over for Raiders. Dammit, INT seals the game.

[Eaglesfan27]

:(

Bears with a last second TD pass to win it.

[DeToxRox]

Griese with a 97 yard drive to win it, amazing.

[Rizon]

No, he won't and he shouldn't be. He's taken the team to the NFC Championship 4 times and the Super Bowl once in the last 6 or 7 years. He held the team together even after McNabb went down last year. He gets at least one bad year before he goes on the hotseat.

Bengals Win!


No, I am not relaxed.

Nice drive by the Cowboys to close out the game. Marion Barber was a stud on that final drive. I wonder if the Cowboys will move Julius during the bye week?

oops, trade deadline just passed.

[Logan]

Trading deadline is gone.

edit: unless you mean to SS or something.

[Tasan]

Whew, boy, the Cowboys still haven't played anyone but the Pats. Man, it must suck to everyone who's lost to people like the Bears, etc...

/sarcasm

[kingfc22]

49ers are so abysmal offensivley it's not even funny.

Fire Hostler!:mad::(

[EagleFan]

:(

Bears with a last second TD pass to win it.

With a bad no-call offensive holding on that call too. Oh well, it was the damn holding penalty on the Westbrook first down run that ruined the game for them. They could have iced the game after that one.

[k0ruptr]

its a good one in the late game 28-28 minute to go

[MikeVic]

Bah. Why wasn't that Scheffler "catch" reviewed earlier in the drive. ;)

[Vinatieri for Prez]

How ya' like it now Mangenius!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Mizzou B-ball fan]

Game over for Raiders. Dammit, INT seals the game.

Chiefs are in an awfully good spot right now. 1st place in the AFC West and 2-0 in the division with both wins coming on the road (@Oakland and @San Diego). Defense is playing extremely well. The Chiefs still haven't given up more than 20 points in a game this season.

It was great to see Priest Holmes out there again. They gave it to him a couple of times late in the game and he got a first down for the team on two runs. Should keep Larry Johnson on his toes with some competition if nothing else.

[gstelmack]

That was before the audio cut out on Brian Griese (http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/players/profile?statsId=4322)'s helmet.
The only noise Griese heard was the sound of his own voice calling the plays, rallying the Bears and driving them 97 yards for the winning score in a 19-16 win over the Philadelphia Eagles (http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/clubhouse?team=phi) on Sunday night.

C'mon all you folks focusing on the audio issues alleged in the Pats' scandal, where's the outcry against Philly? This game was in Philly.

Why are you bringing the Pats thing back up? People stopped talking about it long ago. I'll never understand this Pats victimization complex.

As for the situation in the Eagles game, that should definitely be looked into, as it was a little too coincidental for my taste. I still fail to see what it has to do with the Patriots. If the Pats did something wrong, they should be punished. If the Eagles did something wrong, they should be punished.

It doesn't have anything to do with the Patriots except for that natural human reaction of wanting to be treated the same as others. Like if you get got shoplifting and go to jail and it's front page news and you go to jail, and then someone else gets caught shoplifting and they get a warning.

It's not the most mature reaction, but it's a natural one. I'm sure this is nothing though.

I'm just reinforcing a point I made back then: that this happens on a regular basis, but the Patriots incident was the only time anyone (here on this forum I mean in particular) decided to make a stink about it.

Romo has looked less then impressive the last three weeks.

Buffalo game --- No argument there, hard to call a 6 turnover game anything but a disaster, although he did throw for 300 yards and 2 TD's when he was missing Bills defenders.

Last two games combined --- 49 for 68 (72%), 476 yards (7yd / attempt), 3 TDs, 1 INT, 1 fumble lost. He wasn't the reason they lost against New England. He was lighting up the Vikings (220-some passing yards and over 20 minutes time of possession at halftime, with 2/3rds or so of the plays passes) prior to his getting injured, afterwhich he definitely did look a bit off and he didn't do much. He wasn't as good as he had been against the Rams or Giants earlier in the season when he was on a record-setting pace, but he's still been a top 5-10 QB the past couple weeks.

To the few people who watched the Lions/Bucs game, is what the Bucs did for their on-side kicks something brand new or have college/pro teams be doing this for a while now?

For those that didn't see it, the Buccs attempted to on-side kicks. Each time the team just stood in a group right behind the kicker. This forced the Lions' players to cluster into a group in the middle as well, presumably waiting to see which side of the field the Bucs would overload. The kicker than just ran up and kicked the ball hard along the ground right at the group of Lions' players. It hit the leg of one player, bounced way up into the air and into the arms of one of the Buccaneers.

The second time, the Bucs formed up the same way, in that little huddle. This time, instead of kicking a line drive at the Lions in the middle, they kicked a high, slow kick to the right side of filed and it was a foot race between the Lions' TE and one of the Bucs' players. The Lions' player got to the ball first and smothered it, but it was dangerously close.

It seemed like a pretty sound strategy.

[rkmsuf]

having the kicker just dink the ball 10 yards while everyone was lined up on either side was envogue 5 or 10 years ago

seems like the "have everyone in a cluster in the middle" would only worked once by surprise since the other team could just get out of the way and let the thing go

[Logan]

A lot easier said than done to avoid a football at close range and high speed.

It's going to take winning the division to make the playoffs for the Chefs. They have pretty much an automatic loss at Indy, putting them at 4. Then they have tough games at Denver, vs Green Bay, vs San Diego, and vs Tennessee with at Detroit not being a cakewalk. The schedule is fairly cushy but they have to win all the ones they are supposed to and then steal a game or two and that just rarely happens in the NFL.

It just seems like an illusion that they are even in things right now. They are in first place but at 4-3, it's not a strong first place, and if San Diego decides to get it back together like they did the last two weeks, then they put KC in the rear view mirror and there's no way KC makes a wild card berth- they just don't look good enough. But again, they do have the tiebreakers so far and that's huge.

Have not seen it in college or pros, but that's the way we kicked onside kicks in high school. I think the reason it may have worked was because it's not the way teams prepare to recover an onside kick, so it caught them by surprise.. Now that a team has done it, teams will be looking out for it.

[Buccaneer]

What did they do?

[cartman]

Here's another one I hope Goodell makes an example of. Hours after the game honoring Darrent Williams, the teammate that reportedly started the shit that got Darrent shot and killed was arrested for a DUI.

Broncos WR Marshall arrested on suspicion of DUI

ENGLEWOOD - Denver Police say Broncos wide receiver Brandon Marshall was arrested on suspicion of driving under the influence early Monday morning.

Police say Marshall was pulled over in downtown Denver shortly after 2 a.m. His arrest came hours after the Broncos defeated the Pittsburgh Steelers 31-to-28 in Denver.

Marshall was released and issued a summons.

Broncos team officials said they were aware of the arrest but had no comment.

According to a report on HBO's "Real Sports," Marshall and his cousin were partying on New Year's Eve and reportedly started a confrontation with suspected gang members. Those people are accused of later shooting and killing Broncos cornerback Darrent Williams.

Do you have me on ignore, Bucc, (;) ) or did you just miss my post or did I mis-read yours?
