NFL Week 10 Thread

[Julio Riddols]

The refs are pissed at Jacksonville tonight.

[MrBug708]

Seriously

[stevew]

The Jags probably lead the world in 3rd and 26's

[Lathum]

QB controversy in Jacksonville!!!

[Matthean]

Doesn't that actually require having a QB?

[Scoobz0202]

Well that was a thrilling football game

[NorvTurnerOverdrive]

gruden to philly would be a disaster of bobby v proportions. i hope it happens

[molson]

The Colts are 6-3?

[spleen1015]

The Colts are 6-3?

Yeah and they could easily be 7-2 if not for a dumb ass defensive play call at the end of the Jacksonville game in week 3.

[stevew]

Brutal(and deserved) hit piece on the Jaguars on Grantland.

Jacksonville hasn't done much to help itself - Grantland (http://www.grantland.com/story/_/id/8609918/jacksonville-done-much-help-itself)

[Matthean]

The Colts are 6-3?

Ending schedule is tough enough to not write them into the playoffs, but they will be close.

[NorvTurnerOverdrive]

the expansion jags were brilliant. coughlin, brunell, jimmy smith, boselli, mccardell and a bunch more i'm sure i'm forgetting

fun team to watch. iirc, they knocked off elway on the road in the playoffs

[Suburban Rhythm]

Pittsburgh Steelers, Emmanuel Sanders fined $50K for fake injury vs. Cincinnati Bengals - ESPN (http://espn.go.com/nfl/story/_/id/8611175/pittsburgh-steelers-emmanuel-sanders-fined-50k-fake-injury-vs-cincinnati-bengals)

Roger Goodell was angry that Gary Bettman was still leading him in the "Worst Commissioner in Sports" poll

[Sun Tzu]

Don't forget about Natrone Means.

Roger Goodell was angry that Gary Bettman was still leading him in the "Worst Commissioner in Sports" poll

Seriously? I'm glad he's doing something about this, especially when defenses fake injury to slow down no-huddle offenses.

[MizzouCowboy]

Last season when the Giants had two players flop at the same time against the Rams would have been a better time to start. It was so obvious it was laughable.

[Suburban Rhythm]

Seriously? I'm glad he's doing something about this, especially when defenses fake injury to slow down no-huddle offenses.

Short of Sanders walking in to the meeting and saying "Yup, total con job!", what was the evidence?

As a Steelers fan I can watch it and say, sure, he probably faked it. Just curious how it was determined to be a fake from watching a video. If the answer is it's Goodell's call, I'll stand by the initial statement of challenging Bettman.

[finketr]

Didn't they also end Jimmy Johnson and Dan Marino by like 62-7 in the playoffs?

[stevew]

I know it's largely unimportant, but has anyone else noticed that Shiano has Freeman kneeling down some ridiculous lengths? Last week he took a -6 yarder to end the game after the douchey coach calls a timeout. I envision that this play had to change some fantasy games..if it were me I'd be furious. It's bad enough when your guy records -.2 points kneeling it down twice, but there have been at least a few other longer kneel downs from the Bucs as well.

The first time some coach worries about someone's fantasy team will be the last time I watch. Fantasy stats are not a reason to complain about how the coach called the game.

[stevew]

a -6 yard kneel down is the most ridiculous thing I've seen in awhile.

[stevew]

Basically the only reason I watch the large majority of the NFL is because of fantasy football. I understand that Schiano has to put himself firmly in that Harbaugh/Harbaugh/Schwartz douchy bro bro mock tough guy coaching fraternity, but there's no reason not to act conventional like the other 25+ coaches in the league do.

[Honolulu_Blue]

a -6 yard kneel down is the most ridiculous thing I've seen in awhile.

aww... poor wittle stewew...

[stevew]

wow's wat wions weason working wout wor wyou.

[Matthean]

wow's wat wions weason working wout wor wyou.

Aren't you a Cavs fan?

[stevew]

unfortunately it's been a bad run of late.

[Masked]

a -6 yard kneel down is the most ridiculous thing I've seen in awhile.

I've seen similar plays several times. I don't know the circumstances for this play, but I've seen it when the game clock has a few more seconds than the play clock. The offense tries to run a few more seconds off during the play to avoid turning the ball over on downs.

[Sun Tzu]

Other than the "pat on the back handshake," can someone here explain to me how Harbaugh got his douche stigma? I've never heard or seen him treat coaches or players from other teams with anything but respect.

The thing I found stupid about it was that they snapped the ball in a short shotgun rather than taking it under center. Seems like you're just begging for a mistake there.

[Danny]

Other than the "pat on the back handshake," can someone here explain to me how Harbaugh got his douche stigma? I've never heard or seen him treat coaches or players from other teams with anything but respect.

Harbaugh was my favorite player for a while when I was a kid. When he was with the Colts we sent him a letter asking for an autograph. He sent a signed picture that addressed me by name and said "To my friend, Danny". Pretty cool.

[Honolulu_Blue]

Other than the "pat on the back handshake," can someone here explain to me how Harbaugh got his douche stigma? I've never heard or seen him treat coaches or players from other teams with anything but respect.

Yeah! Same with Coach Schwartz! And that pat on the back handshake was all that douche Harbaugh's fault!

[mckerney]

Maybe this will be the week the Vikings finally give up on trying to throw the ball and just have Ponder run the option.

[Honolulu_Blue]

Maybe this will be the week the Vikings finally give up on trying to throw the ball and just have Ponder run the option.

I hope not. And I hope we no Joe Webb. That guy killed the Lions last year.

I was actually supposed to be at this game today, sadly, I am at work.

[mckerney]

Harvin is out today, prospects of the Vikings being able to pass for 50 yards today are looking dim.

[BillJasper]

How do you leave AJ Green that wide open? :lol:

[Desnudo]

welkah

[EagleFan]

Was there a Giants' turnover? Is that how cell block D is up 14 already?

[Desnudo]

Anyone else use wiziwig before to stream games? I just found this today. Nice that you can stream through Flash so no software needed. Not quite the resolution where I'd plug my laptop into the tv.

Wiziwig.tv | NFL schedules, watch live and free NFL streams (http://www.wiziwig.tv/competition.php?part=sports&discipline=americanfootball)

Seems like a legit site.

[SirFozzie]

Man, the Buffalo Bills are just destroying their chances in this game, something like 7-8 penalties already and a sack-fumble that led to a Patriots TD

[BillJasper]

Nothing like watching my Dolphins fall back to Earth with a thud. :lol:

[BillJasper]

Is it time for Newton to start pouting?

[BillJasper]

Boy, Carolina got screwed there!

[TroyF]

Boy, Carolina got screwed there!

Did they ever. I saw it right away and was waiting for the announcers to say something. I was screaming at the TV for the replay crew to buzz down before the extra point. I HATE it when players flip the ball when they are going full speed as they head into the end zone. It's so tough to get your timing right with it. Just carry the ball all the way in, turn and run a few steps in the end zone and then flip it to the ref.

I haven't watched a ton of Carolina games this year, but I can see a couple of things.

1) They are clearly better than what their record indicates they are
2) They are a very poorly coached football team
3) While the TE is nice, they badly need another WR to take the heat off of Smith.
4) Back to coaching, they can be so successful calling screens mixed in with runs and some QB runs. Instead 85% of their drives are run, throw deep, throw medium. The creativity is mind bogglingly bad with a guy like Newton back there.

I know Newton has a 'tude and some of this is his fault, but this offensive scheme is terrible.

[Desnudo]

Patriots imported the refs from the Giants-Steelers game

[stevew]

Is that 3PI in the endzone calls against Buffalo already?

[Matthean]

Harvin is out today, prospects of the Vikings being able to pass for 50 yards today are looking dim.

And yet Ponder has more than doubled Stafford's rating at the half. Megatron's injury only goes so far.

[mckerney]

And yet Ponder has more than doubled Stafford's rating at the half. Megatron's injury only goes so far.

He hasn't been his usually horrible self, but he still doesn't look good and he's keeping the Lions in the game by making sure the Vikings settle for field goals.

[JPhillips]

Eli is in total meltdown right now.

[General Mike]

Does Thom Brennaman ever STFU?

[cougarfreak]

Was there a Giants' turnover? Is that how cell block D is up 14 already?

Seriously? And Eagle fan calling another team out for having criminals? I'm going to go play with my pet pit bull now..........

[TroyF]

Being able to watch Von Miller on a weekly basis AND having him play on my favorite team is a true joy. Denver has had some fun defensive players to watch over the years like Tom Jackson, Randy Gradishar, Champ Bailey, Dumerville, Dennis Smith and Steve Atwater to name a few (I have read stories of Tomestone Jackson and can only wish I could have seen him), but Von Miller is in his second year the best Broncos defensive player ever.

Dominant doesn't even begin to describe this guy. JJ Watt has played out of this world so far this year. . . he had better keep playing at that level if he wants DPOY. He has 5 tackles and a sack today by conventional numbers. he has also forced an INT that was returned for a TD, made multiple third down tackles behind the line, and caused another 2 sacks by forcing Cam to move up in the pocket.

What a player.

[spleen1015]

Eli is in total meltdown right now.

Yeah, I don't know WTF his problem is, but he needs to fix it. Elite doesn't go 3 games without any TD passes.

[mauchow]

Boom! And the VIkings playoff hopes stay alive for one more week.

[kingfc22]

LOL at the Raiders.

[whomario]

Peterson is having an amazing year, especially considering that he just came back in time from major knee injury .

[TroyF]

Want to see complete implosion with someone not named Eli? That would be the Panthers.

Second half totals heading into this drive:

20 plays
9 yards
1 INT returned for a TD
1 safety

[stevew]

I really like the Panthers' uniforms today.

[mauchow]

Run the sim steve!

[mauchow]

Did the announcer really just suggest that the Saints take a safety here?

[Suburban Rhythm]

Did Moose Johnston just say the Saints should take the safety here?

[JonInMiddleGA]

Falcons 2nd & goal at the one ... incomplete/Turner 1 yd loss/incomplete

Let's note that Turner is the third highest paid Falcon & leave it at that.

[bronconick]

I wonder if Ponder completing 75% of his passes for 250+ yards will make the Lions consider the idea of signing actual secondary players this upcoming offseason instead of digging through the junk drawer like they currently do?

[Matthean]

Boom! And the VIkings playoff hopes stay alive for one more week.

The wildcard spots are going to be difficult to get. There's easily four teams gunning for one spot.

[stevew]

Run the sim steve!

6ish

[stevew]

I hate how it turns into a wrestling match in the pile. NE probably had that and then all the fattys jumped on the pile

[kingfc22]

How many of these recent NE/BUF games would have the results flipped if the QB's flipped teams?

[kingfc22]

Get the tissues ready for Pouty-Cam.

[Desnudo]

I always knew McCourty was good

[BillJasper]

The NFL, you don't know what you think you know! :lol:

[TroyF]

After the Bills loss, the AFC playoff picture looks like this:

If you are over .500 and the playoffs started today, you are in.

The NFC has four teams over .500 who will not be leading their division after this week and two of them would miss the playoffs.

[Desnudo]

How does spiller avg nearly 8yds and get 9 carries. Dumb coaching.

[RendeR]

Anyone got a clue where the Bengals have been vacationing? i see they got back today, I'm just confused as to why they forgot the season started in SEPTEMBER and not November....

[cuervo72]

I'm usually not very confident in my team, but for some reason I feel like the Eagles will take it to the Cowboys today.

I also feel like it will have no bearing on the playoff hunt (which I don't think the Eagles will ultimately be in).

[EagleFan]

Nice catch by Cooper!

[Matthean]

Peterson had 120 yards in the final 15 minutes

Gee, it might help to stop the team with the lead from jamming the ball down your throat in the 4th quarter.

[JPhillips]

Anyone got a clue where the Bengals have been vacationing? i see they got back today, I'm just confused as to why they forgot the season started in SEPTEMBER and not November....

Are you new to this team? Just another week on the rollercoaster.

[kingfc22]

And the replacement refs made it to the STL/SF game.

How they didn't realize the clock ran off for nearly a minute during a measurement and didn't fix it after a review is baffling.

[kingfc22]

The beginning of the Foles era?

[miami_fan]

Vick injured.

The HOF career of Nick Foles may begin today.

[EagleFan]

Crud, that was a nice throw too.

[kingfc22]

And it appears Alex Smith is KO'd for today...

[EagleFan]

WTF was that in the 49ers game? How do they not put that time back on the clock?

[kingfc22]

WTF was that in the 49ers game? How do they not put that time back on the clock?

Stupid NFL rules. Once the next play was run the time is gone just like a replay challenge.

[EagleFan]

Midway through the 4:00 games and we have a whopping two pages. I miss the glory days of FOFC... :(

[EagleFan]

Stupid NFL rules. Once the next play was run the time is gone just like a replay challenge.

How was not caught while it was going on?

[kingfc22]

How was not caught while it was going on?

The sad thing is the officials DID review it prior to the next play...:banghead:

[Suburban Rhythm]

Stupid NFL rules. Once the next play was run the time is gone just like a replay challenge.

As bad as this one is, it's still doesn't beat the Broncos punt return TD.
I mean, all scoring plays are reviewed, correct? So someone watched that, and said it was OK.

[Crapshoot]

The Niners don't look so good with Kapernick(sp?) instead of Alex Smith...

[BillJasper]

I wonder if the Falcons will end up regretting not burying the Saints playoff hopes?

[Desnudo]

Does foles have a wispy porn mustache?

[EagleFan]

As bad as this one is, it's still doesn't beat the Broncos punt return TD.

How was that not reversed? That made no sense what so ever.

[kingfc22]

The Niners don't look so good with Kapernick(sp?) instead of Alex Smith...

Niners D will need to win this game today

[Crapshoot]

Yeah, Colin is awful - overthrowing everyone in sight right now.

[Matthean]

Are they playing Benny Hill music for the Eagles game?

[bulletsponge]

Midway through the 4:00 games and we have a whopping two pages. I miss the glory days of FOFC... :(

agreed, we need more Tebow. that would liven things up

[Desnudo]

How can there not be more tebow. Sanchez definitely has foot fetish blackmail on Rex.

[Matthean]

agreed, we need more Tebow. that would liven things up

So far he is 3-3 for a grand total of 8 yards.

[tucker rocky]

Midway through the 4:00 games and we have a whopping two pages. I miss the glory days of FOFC... :(

Thank the NFL for that.

Ever since they(NFL) started taking the fun out of watching them.

[Desnudo]

Another ticky tacky non-PI PI call.

[Suburban Rhythm]

How was that not reversed? That made no sense what so ever.

I'm with you.

I'm not naive enough to proclaim conspiracy towards one team over another. But, I will be naive enough to proclaim a blind eye when points are involved.

The Roethlisberger "fumble" last week vs Giants, and now this TD.

When it's bang-bang plays and things are missed, I try to put myself in the officials shoes. But when they have the benefit of replay, and still can't see things that are that blatant, I'm not sure what else to make of it except POINTS IS GOOD!

[BillJasper]

How the fuck is that a catch. If the NFL wants to fix games, they should make it look somewhat close.

The Bryant TD? It moved around but I never saw it actually touch the ground. Has to be conclusive to be overturned and I didn't see an angle that showed the ball touch the ground.

[rowech]

The Bryant TD? It moved around but I never saw it actually saw it touch the ground. Has to be conclusive to be overturned and I didn't see an angle that showed the ball touch the ground.

Then you need to get your eyes checked. It rolled on the ground let alone touching it.

[BillJasper]

Then you need to get your eyes checked. It rolled on the ground let alone touching it.

Evidently the refs disagree with you. And since Miami is my team, I don't play fantasy football and don't have money riding on the game, I think my view was pretty unbiased.

[cuervo72]

Well, not the first time I've been wrong.

[cartman]

That punt returns makes up for the holding call on the INT. Now the Eagles are going to have to hope that Foles doesn't try to force anything.

[tucker rocky]

Dallas gets a TD anyway on a punt return.

[kingfc22]

That punt returns makes up for the holding call on the INT. Now the Eagles are going to have to hope that Foles doesn't try to force anything.

Looks like you called that one.

[BillJasper]

Doesn't seem like that call matters one way or the other since Philadelphia is imploding.

[cartman]

Pick 6 Cowboys

[rowech]

Evidently the refs disagree with you. And since Miami is my team, I don't play fantasy football and don't have money riding on the game, I think my view was pretty unbiased.

So is Mike Pereira who said it clearly wasn't a catch.

[tucker rocky]

I take it that Dallas is pissed.
Punt return for TD, and INT returned for a TD.

[BillJasper]

So is Mike Pereira who said it clearly wasn't a catch.

Perhaps you and him need to be the ones making an appointment with an optometrist? :D

[Buccaneer]

Midway through the 4:00 games and we have a whopping two pages. I miss the glory days of FOFC... :(

Not when half of the posts are complaining about the refs.

[tucker rocky]

Is Foles reading into the Vick playbook?

[kingfc22]

Niners making plays finally! Yes!

[tucker rocky]

The Eagles favorite penalty, "hands to the face".

[tucker rocky]

Niners making plays finally! Yes!

Gore for the score.

[Crapshoot]

The Rams have converted 2 different fake punts. I think they may have found their QB of the future.

[BillJasper]

Don't think Nick Foles is ready.

[Crapshoot]

Shit, the Rams look like they're going to win this right now.

[BillJasper]

Shit, the Rams look like they're going to win this right now.

May have wished they didn't call that timeout with 1:13 left.

[cartman]

Wow, missed XP by the Eagles. Just makes it that much more difficult if they get the onside kick.

[cartman]

Cowboys recover

[Comey]

I absolutely cannot stand this Eagles team. My least-favorite team since I started watching sports. That includes the late-90s versions of both the Eagles and Phillies. No heart. None. Bunch of damn tin men in green helmets plodding around the field.

[cartman]

That's the ball game.

[BillJasper]

Philadelphia... :lol:

[tucker rocky]

Tied at 24 in SF

[Buccaneer]

Another good results day: Pats and Broncos win, Bolts, Jets and Eagles lose.

[Desnudo]

Number of wispy mustached superstar QBs remains at 0

[Crapshoot]

Wow - 70 yard pass called back by the Rams because of an ineligible reciever penalty.

[tucker rocky]

Rams strike quick, but penalty brings it back.

[stevew]

Replacement refs let 1:15 run off during a measurement in the niners game?

[kingfc22]

Damn, that was a stupid play.

Niners so close to stealing this game with their backup QB.

[bulletsponge]

he missed!

[tucker rocky]

Akers with the miss of a 41 yrd FG

[kingfc22]

Akers....DAMN IT!

[kingfc22]

Delay of game LOL!

[EagleFan]

Are you kidding me? Delay of game on a possible game winning field goal?

[kingfc22]

Of course that would have been good from 58...

[tucker rocky]

:lol: St.Louis

[Crapshoot]

This game is beyond ridiculous.

[kingfc22]

OMG! Come on and steal this win damn it!

[EagleFan]

Wow, that was f'd up.

[Crapshoot]

Are you kidding me? Delay of game on a possible game winning field goal?

When they had a timeout to spare...

[tucker rocky]

All of this without the benefit of a ninja timeout.

[BillJasper]

Seems silly someone didn't call a timeout.

[EagleFan]

Has he been second guessing himself that bad since he came in? The QB that is. He had an open receiver for a short gain but it looked like he second guessed himself out of throwing on first down.

[tucker rocky]

A tie would be only fitting for this game.

[kingfc22]

Has he been second guessing himself that bad since he came in? The QB that is. He had an open receiver for a short gain but it looked like he second guessed himself out of throwing on first down.

At first yes. He looked a bit better late in the 3rd and 4th quarter.

[Crapshoot]

Ok, who the hell knows at this stage? A Tie?

[kingfc22]

Okay. I'll take a tie now.

[stevew]

They are really using all the "white" words for amendola. Sparkplug, desire, etc.

[Scoobz0202]

Wonder if this is true.

http://i.imgur.com/IZIOE.jpg

[kingfc22]

Defensive penalty...Fitting.

There goes the Niners shot at this.

[Crapshoot]

They are really using all the "white" words for amendola. Sparkplug, desire, etc.

Gritty? Knows how to win? Heart? It really is silly and insulting, both to white and black players.

[kingfc22]

LOL at the refs!

[Crapshoot]

This is beyond incompetence on the referees as well.

[kingfc22]

Are you kidding me. What was that?!

[tucker rocky]

Clock management, bad for this game

[stevew]

These refs were not worth settling with.

[stevew]

Tie game

[tucker rocky]

Well folks, a tie is what this will end in

[Lathum]

Wonder if this is true.

http://i.imgur.com/IZIOE.jpg

I want to say not but TBH wouldn't surprise me.

[tucker rocky]

1 second left, why bother?

Are the refs sure that triple zeros are on the clock?

[EagleFan]

I hope that's not true and maybe just tailgating gone bad. If it's true I am all for stoning the idiots responsible.

[EagleFan]

I have doubts about that picture if it is claiming to be after the game. Would have been dark.

[Vince, Pt. II]

I wasn't able to watch the game...did they mention what happened to Smith? I thought he led a TD drive after the hit that supposedly did him in?

[Matthean]

I have doubts about that picture if it is claiming to be after the game. Would have been dark.

Depends on when it was done.

[Scoobz0202]

I have doubts about that picture if it is claiming to be after the game. Would have been dark.

It was dark here in Ohio when i got home. I think the game finished up right as I was getting home. You may be correct.

Edit: although the link above mentions it might have been during the game.

[sabotai]

From what I'm reading, it happened just before kick off.

[Coffee Warlord]

Maybe the Bears should try not fumbling on the next drive.

[tucker rocky]

Chicago goes for it on 4th and short, 1st down gained, but fumble the ball away.

[tucker rocky]

Cutler throwing the INT.

[Coffee Warlord]

Maybe the Bears should try not fumbling on the next drive.

Well. They didn't fumble?

3 possessions, 2 fumbles, 1 pick.

[Coffee Warlord]

This game is odd.

[tucker rocky]

Turnovers abound in Chicago, 5 combined.

[tucker rocky]

This game is odd.

3-0 could be the final score.

[Matthean]

Well. They didn't fumble?

3 possessions, 2 fumbles, 1 pick.

The good news is they are only down 3-0.

[tucker rocky]

Gould with a tough FG.

[Desnudo]

Gritty? Knows how to win? Heart? It really is silly and insulting, both to white and black players.

Were there any welker comparisons?

[Coffee Warlord]

Attention Mike Tice: Bombs to Devin Hester don't work. Hester can't catch.

[Crapshoot]

Were there any welker comparisons?

Ooh, good call - didn't see any, but must have been right?

[Desnudo]

Cutler is a crazy fool

[tucker rocky]

Cutler throwing the INT.

...and another.

[Crapshoot]

Is Jay Cutler aware he has receivers other than Marshall? I just looked up the Bears stats, and Marshall has 59 receptions coming into this game; the no 2, no 3, and no 4 on the Bears have less... combined (20, 16, and 14 respectively).

[cartman]

So the same week that Colorado passed the initiative to decriminalize marijuana, Peyton Manning throws career TD pass 420.

[tucker rocky]

To be fair. With Alshon Jeffery gone, Jay Cutler has no receiver other than Marshall.

[Coffee Warlord]

Cutler's concussed.

[bulletsponge]

cutler out

[Abe Sargent]

JasoN Campbell sighting

[Abe Sargent]

Frankly, Cutler's not playing may be the best thing to happen to them tonight

[Abe Sargent]

Nevermind....

[Matthean]

With 3 QBs getting concussions, I'm guessing that will be the talk of the media for this week.

[TroyF]

With 3 QBs getting concussions, I'm guessing that will be the talk of the media for this week.


Just imagine for a second the fake refs were there instead of the real ones. We had 1:12 go "poof" in what ended up being a tie game and a TD that should have been a fumble out of the end zone.

As for other topics this week:

The standard collapse of the Giants. (who will get into the playoffs after Tony Romo is cut, goes to the Eagles and misses a wide open Deshaun Jackson 50 yards down the field in week 18 to gift the Giants a playoff spot)

Speaking of New York, Mark Sanchez is finished at this point, isn't he? I don't care if you go to Tebow, you can't watch that for even one more week, right? right?


Luck vs. Brady, part 1.

The thrilling Thursday night game against with the surging Bills and Dolphins.

[RendeR]

I absolutely cannot stand this Eagles team. My least-favorite team since I started watching sports. That includes the late-90s versions of both the Eagles and Phillies. No heart. None. Bunch of damn tin men in green helmets plodding around the field.

Dream team dude, Dream team.

Frankly, Cutler's not playing may be the best thing to happen to them tonight

Nevermind....



LoL




ANd I just want to add: "Where's Lathum?" :D

[tucker rocky]

Wonder if this is true.

I want to say not but TBH wouldn't surprise me.

Marissa Magnatta, who produces a Philadelphia radio show, tweeted the picture you see above from the parking lot at Lincoln Financial Field. The tweet came moments before the kickoff and said the fire was in Lot E. Another tweeter showed a picture of a car on fire. Speculation on Twitter was, of course, that Philadelphians had lit a Dallas fan's car on fire.

Details are still light, so let us know what you know.

UPDATE: Reports now say that the car actually belonged to an Eagles fan, and that the fire resulted from a grilling party that didn't dispose of its coals properly. (One tipster mentioned an unattended turkey fryer.)

How bad would that suck to come out from the game to find your car burnt to shit.

[gstelmack]

Just imagine for a second the fake refs were there instead of the real ones. We had 1:12 go "poof" in what ended up being a tie

Plus the respot to eat 7 seconds near the end of OT in the same game. I thought the reason to get the real refs back was they wouldn't mess up basic game mechanics?

Damn those stupid facts for getting in the way of a good narrative.

Before The Eagles Lost To The Cowboys A Car Was Ablaze In The Parking Lot [UPDATE] (http://deadspin.com/5959653/before-the-eagles-lost-to-the-cowboys-a-car-was-ablaze-in-the-parking-lot)

In defense of the Philadelphia fans there, a few tried to put out the fire by throwing up on it.

[Desnudo]

Just imagine for a second the fake refs were there instead of the real ones. We had 1:12 go "poof" in what ended up being a tie game and a TD that should have been a fumble out of the end zone.

As for other topics this week:

The standard collapse of the Giants. (who will get into the playoffs after Tony Romo is cut, goes to the Eagles and misses a wide open Deshaun Jackson 50 yards down the field in week 18 to gift the Giants a playoff spot)

Speaking of New York, Mark Sanchez is finished at this point, isn't he? I don't care if you go to Tebow, you can't watch that for even one more week, right? right?


Luck vs. Brady, part 1.

The thrilling Thursday night game against with the surging Bills and Dolphins.

Manning is such a drama king

[NorvTurnerOverdrive]

you sir, get a gold star

[JediKooter]

Alright Norv!!! Wooo! Someone should tell him that in the NFL, there's 4 quarters, not 2. Regardless, just another nail in his coffin. I'll help the bastard pack his office if it would help.

[Matthean]

They should have just gotten the Eagles since they have been shown to be so good at pissing away the season.

[Bad-example]

Kaepernick looks so damn weird when he throws. If there is a place in the NFL for the Statue of Liberty play, Keapernick is the perfect quarterback to run it.

[DaddyTorgo]

How bad would that suck to come out from that game to find your car burnt to shit.

fixed that for you

[Lathum]

ANd I just want to add: "Where's Lathum?" :D

I was actualy at the Seahawks game and tailgating before, so thankfully I didn't see most of the debacle.

[Lathum]

Plus the respot to eat 7 seconds near the end of OT in the same game. I thought the reason to get the real refs back was they wouldn't mess up basic game mechanics?

and while the real refs mess that stuff up occasionaly the replacement refs were doing it multiple times per week.

Do you really not notice a difference when watching the games?

And the replacements were learning and getting better. At least now we've got a shot at replacing the guys who screw up like this. But during the strike the supporters of the "bring back the regular refs" crowd were ready to burn guys at the stake for mistakes like this, they destroying the integrity of the game, promising how much better it would be because the regular refs wouldn't screw up basic gameflow and rules issues. Well, they're blowing "simple" things like this every week anyway. Maybe not as frequently, but we're getting stuff like this every week. And this crew did it twice in one game!

[EagleFan]

Another case of people jumping on ignorance. Tailgating gone bad, or unattended, but I guess it makes a better story on these here interwebz to say it's the big bad Philly fans.

[RainMaker]

When is it going to be time to unleash him in New York?

And they all get raises and more benefits for such declining quality of work.

Was there a Giants' turnover? Is that how cell block D is up 14 already?

Pot. Kettle.

[stevew]

This game is going to be ugly.

[stevew]

There we go Tomlin and LeBeau. Way to break the Chiefs' trailing streak.

[stevew]

Cursing the official is a penalty?

[stevew]

That catch...wow.

[EagleFan]

How can a penalty be enforced for something that would never have happened if the play was called right in the first place?

[Suburban Rhythm]

Wondering the same. Assuming it's because it's a personal foul type call. If it were a procedural call, guessing it's picked up. Not certain though. PING Sak

[EagleFan]

Jeez, Chiefs fans are getting toyed with these past couple minutes. Fumble/touchdown...not..... fumble.... not....

[Julio Riddols]

What the flip happened to Roethlisberger?

[cuervo72]

Yeah, that's what I was wondering. Just settled in to finally pay attention and...Leftwich???

(and Batch is the #3? or is he hurt yet again?)

[stevew]

Chiefs victimized on a horrible call. That was an obvious incomplete pass, but I had deja vu from last week

[stevew]

91 should be ejected.

[Julio Riddols]

That's gonna potentially cost me 2 fantasy games. Lame.

[Swaggs]

Between him hitting the back of his head on the turf on his first play and that last helmet to helmet, I have to think there is like an 80% that Leftwich has a concussion right now.

[stevew]

They better fine Hali 20k

[Suburban Rhythm]

Only thing I like about Leftwich as a Steelers fan, when he winds up, I have time to go to the kitchen, grab another beer, and get back to the living room before he releases the ball.

[Julio Riddols]

Lame, Baldwin.

[stevew]

4th timeout?

[stevew]

I swear to god, I keep seeing calls that I've never seen before

[stevew]

So I'm looking at scheduling. The Jets are playing the Titans in week 15 on MNF. Then they are scheduled to be the SNF team in week 16 vs the Chargers. That game will surely be flexed off the schedule I'd think(sans Tebow).

[britrock88]

I needed 11 points out of Bowe and Redman in what was essentially a make-or-break game. They were projected to score 25. They scored 6. :banghead:
