He's destroying the Vikings on both kick and punt returns today.

Chad Henne may now be hurt-it could be time for Coastal Carolina's own Tyler Thigpen!

Miami goes wildcat instead and Brandon Marshall tries to throw it down the field to four Tennessee defenders-none of which catch it.

I don't know if Randy Moss can open up coverage for teammates but Patrick Cobb can. Five on one on that play.

I think they were impressed with Marshall's sideline throw earlier in the game.

Henne going off the field, Miami has to wait to play Thigpen till fourth quarter or else Henne could not come back in the game

One of these days Jay should really learn not to throw bad picks into the endzone.

heh yeah well they would be the only ones. Actually it wasn't a bad pass, just never should have been thrown.

The Dolphins should rather stay with the Wildcat ... This Mariani guy on Tennessee seems really fearless on his returns and having good "skill" rather than pure speed or am i imagining this ?

I don't know what was worse on that play. The throw by Sanchez or the dropped interception.

That dropped interception looks HUGE now as the Browns would be up by 3.

18 of 34 for 124 yards isn't exactly opening up much of anything. Johnson had 117 yards, but he doesn't really need Moss in order to do that.

What an ending in Jacksonville! Tipped Hail Mary, Gus Johnson announcing to top it all off.

That must have been awesome.


Now on a different topic.... "It's much easier to make that review along the sideline than if he were in the middle of the field"... Well, since the review was to see where he went out of bounds I would guess so...

Nice to see the cancer that is TO decided to not even try and win the game when Cinci got the ball back. Palmer got sacked and the Bengals had to wait like 10 second while TO walked back to the line of scrimmage on TWO plays in a row. I don't give a shit about this asshole's stats he should be cut.

In light of the Jags/Texans ending, I have to post what Bill Simmons wrote in his "Picks" column earlier this week:

Quote:
The Law of Gus Johnson is sweeping the nation: He's called four straight weeks of games that were genuinely exciting (Jets-Lions, Bills-Chiefs, Bengals-Falcons, Chiefs-Texans) and this battle between two David Lee teams (all offense, no defense) looks like No. 5.


I keep mentioning the Law of Gus without ever really defining it, so let's do it right now. If Gus Johnson is calling an NFL game, the odds quintuple that (A) the lead will change hands in the fourth quarter; (B) someone will complete a long pass in a big moment that will make Gus' voice hit an octave only dogs can hear; and (C) the game will go into overtime or at least come damned close. It seems impossible that the mere presence of an announcer would alter the course of the game, but here's my theory: I think God sits in his Man Cave on Sundays and says, "Which game is that Gus Johnson calling? I get a kick out of that guy. I think I'll make his game exciting and see if he completely loses his mind."

Number 5 it is.

Yeah I am a big fan of Simmons and he is who got me to start paying attention to Gus Johnson. His call in the Jag's ending was classic.

Wow. Different year, same old story.

If there's any silver lining to yet another poorly handled game by the Texans, it's that we're one step closer to Kubiak being shown the door.

And the painful part is this was a team last week at home had swagger to them while taking on one of the best teams in the league, but when Stafford isn't there they just kind of walk through the emotions of it. If they had any sort of running game to fall back on it would help. Hill is just kind of there as a passer.

wow, dunno about that pick.

How funny would it be if Cleveland lost due to a safety for holding in the endzone.
