NFL Week 5
 

Vick won't start.

First games for me

NE/ATL
TB/NYJ

According to Lock of the Day:

Chicago Bears +3

Today we're going with the Bears. They're a much better team than the Browns, and will prove it today. Cleveland's sluggish offense will have trouble scoring points on the highly-ranked Bears defense (4th overall). Kyle Orton has had a week off to review his mistakes and Cedric Benson will be seeing more time to keep fresh legs in the backfield. Chicago's D will keep them in this game the entire time, while their offense should indeed wake up in Cleveland (Browns 30th overall D). The Bears +3? What a LOCK!

Lions score early on a Jones TD Run.

Bonus points for his Deion Sanders TD celebration with Deion on the field.

Bonnie Bernstein is looking a little under the weather. I think she's playing hurt today.

Will the Pats/Falcons game end 0-0? No. Much more impressive on the latest drive. The bomb to Branch opened things up.

Jenkins has already taken a full game's worth of hard hits. I thought Wilson should have been penalized on the first one, but the announcers didn't say a word.

The Jets stuff Tampa 3 and out on their first posession, then fumble the punt, eventually resulting in a Tampa field goal.

vinny has taken the field. ....

Vinny looked good on the openiing drive, but Mike Nugent misses a 40 yard field goal. fucking rookie.

6 yard TD run from Pat Pass - nice drive from the Pats.

Wow. This play in the Lions game if it stands is gonna be nuts.

Harrington loses control of the ball, but could be a throw. Everyone stops but the refs dont' blow the whistle. Jones picks it up and runs it to the 1. Insane. Play is under review now though.

Wow. Play stands. Great job by the refs not to blow it dead and let it continue.

Lions on the one on a total fluke!

There's a highlight we'll see over and over tonight. Daniel Graham on an amazing catch and run immediately after the announcers point out New England TEs have just one touchdown this season.

TD #2 Kevin Jones!

13-0 with the upcoming EP.

Amazing.

Horrible call.

Makes up for last week. A little bit...

But... TOUCHDOWN KEVIN JONES!!!!

14-0.

14-0 Pats; they look like they came to kick ass today.

14-0.

I am loving it.

Agreed, sketchy call at best. But the refs did it right because ya didnt know when it happened and they let it go on.

I really get the feeling the Bears reallllly lost faith in Orton. Run run run run run run run run run run run run run run.

Dola. Ruben Brown injured and back in the locker room. O-Line depth is not something the Bears have. Eesh.

EARL HOLMES LAYS THE WOOD!

Fumble on a good Baltimore drive and Lions get it back.

If the Bears want to hammer it out on the ground perhaps they could give the ball to Jones instead of trying to justify their Benson pick?

And that aforementioned lack of depth shows. Int return to the 10, it's now 3rd and goal on the 30 something, after the sub guard gets called for a Facemask, and allows a sack.

edit: That sub guard (Roberto Garza) was an FA signing. Another stellar Angelo move.

Joey throws a horrible pass. Suggs makes the play and runs it back deep into Detroit territory.

YES! DRE BLY INT IN THE ENDZONE!

Bly with INT #2 this half. Third Ravens turnover of the game. Joey got saved on this one.

Dre Bly!!!

Damnit Bly, take a knee. Take. A. Knee. He just can't control himself once he gets the ball in his hands. His crazy laterals, trying to run it out of the endzone... Oh well, I'll take it if he keeps making plays.

You hit a ref and no ejection?

Roy Williams is questionable to return now. Not good. We're down to three WR to my knowledge. Mike Williams, Kevin Johnson and Scotty Vines. Drummond is out too so there is another WR.

I'll be damned, the Packers came to play this week.

The Jets are going to wint hte Super Bowl. go Vinny!

Damn. Nice shovel pass to Lewis for a Ravens score.

Actually I just think the Saints are that bad... :p

Warrick Dunn is a stud. And I agree, the Saints are bad. I still like them to win the Leinart sweepstakes.

At 0-4, nothing is a gimme..

Wow, Atlanta's punter just kicked a 58 yard field goal!

Okay, that was funny. That punter looked good.

Stupid timeout shennanigans from the Patriot defense cost them a field goal. I know freezing the kicker is in vogue these days, but this last-second time out fake stuff is really annoying. Someone should drop a 15-yarder and end this.

THE GREEN BAY PACKERS ARE GOING TO THE SUPERBOWL!!!!!

Ok, maybe not.

Still a good day for once this year.

Why did they try to ice them on a 58 yard FG. I hate the idea of icing in general, but on a 58 yarder?

hehehe--great move Pats, thanks.

The guy had no pressure on him to hit it. He's just going to go up there and kick the hell out of the ball and hope it goes through. Making him think about isn't going to accomplish anything.

The Lions are just barely hanging on with Baltimore playing like absolute crap. Absolute. Crap. They have a kajillion penalties. The Lions are down to three wideouts and can't run the ball for sh*t.

New Orleans' closet is filling up with excrement. 35-3.

Brady is 10-12 for 220 yards.

I think its time to get Aaron Rodgers some playing time.

Once again Benson is killing the Bears - although they should have challenged there.

Thomas Jones has looked sooooo good too.. I just don't see why you would want to replace him so bad with the numbers he is putting up.

Can't depend on the damn Falcons to take care of the Patriots.

Terrell Suggs gets ejected from the Lions/Ravens game for bumping the ref.

This game is turning into a black and blue game.

Bodies everywhere.

Old school football, I love it.

Brady is playing pissed off today. He looks good. I'm not sure it's going to cover up the Pats long term defensive problems though. They still look pretty poor. And as good as Brady is, he isn't going 15/17 for 295 every week.

Brady sure stepped it up this week. Thankfully. I don't trust the defense to keep Atlanta down.
