Bucs with a most unlikely win, it was a nice ending to a horrible game.

The Bucs won in spite of their talent and the Redskins lost in spite of their talent.

What the fuck??? Anyway, they missed the xtra point and lost the game by 1

They got a first down on that first play.

Fonzie · 12-12-2010, 02:58 PM

Shameful performance from the Pack today. Credit goes to the Lion's D, but McCarthy has to be held to account for his team's performance (especially his playcalling and the O-line getting clobbered on every snap). I still don't get that 4th & 1 call. Not at all.

Honolulu_Blue · 12-12-2010, 02:59 PM

I guess you could chalk the Lions win up to the fact that Aaron Rodgers got knocked out of the game, though he hadn't done anything before he got hurt. Then again, the Lions were playing with their 3rd string QB, so that evens the QB situation out.

Good to see the division losing streak end at 19.

Next up, the road losing streaking.

Atocep · 12-12-2010, 02:59 PM

Lovie Smith is luckiest coach I think I've ever seen.

So it was 1st and goal at the 3?

The Danish commentators were really confused whether they had two 4th down plays in a row.

The 1st play was ruled a 1st down and the stadium, networks and sideline judge apparently didn't pick up on that.

Fonzie · 12-12-2010, 03:04 PM

With this loss I think McCarthy nudged himself towards the hot seat. The Pack's playoff chances just took a serious hit, and if they miss the playoffs for the third time in five years the natives will be awfully restless.

Ok thanks, still confusion in the Danish studio. I wasn't paying attention so I don't know. Its still messed up on nfl.com

sterlingice · 12-12-2010, 03:09 PM

So, did the Raiders just let the Jags score there since the return pretty much set up a FG?

For the record, I'm pretty happy with the last couple of minutes for my fantasy football team: Moss with a TD in the last couple of seconds of the Washington game and now MJD with a 30 yd TD run to put him over 100 on the game- well, that makes the sad showing I had about 10 minutes ago look a lot better

SI

DaddyTorgo · 12-12-2010, 03:16 PM

Looks fun in Chicago - not as extreme as the snow-bowl game or some of our NE snow-games, but fun.

That Moss TD and missed XP cost me my TB (-2.5) bet. Had they gone to OT and kicked a field goal (or not given up that TD!) I would have won.

Big Fo · 12-12-2010, 03:21 PM

I wish Dolphin DBs could catch balls thrown right at them. Smith should have had a pick six a minute ago and there's probably been half a dozen drops like that so far this season.

DaddyTorgo · 12-12-2010, 03:21 PM

This is gonna be a slow game - both offenses need to find plays that work for them

Coffee Warlord · 12-12-2010, 03:26 PM

Not gonna be a passing day in Chicago.

There will be some INT's on balls that the wind causes to sail I'm sure though.

DaddyTorgo · 12-12-2010, 03:31 PM

TD - GRONK!!!!

DaddyTorgo · 12-12-2010, 03:38 PM

Oooh - woulda been nice to grab that fumble. Darn.

NorvTurnerOverdrive · 12-12-2010, 03:39 PM

dear nfl.com,

is it reasonable to watch 3 ads just to see a missed xp highlight? because i'm asking.

jeff061 · 12-12-2010, 03:39 PM

I remember reading somewhere that snow games are much more difficult on the defense(as long as you have a half way decent QB) because they can't cut and react quick enough to cover WR. I'd imagine that's especially true against a Pats type offense.

DaddyTorgo · 12-12-2010, 03:55 PM

Law-Firm is rockin it today!!!

DaddyTorgo · 12-12-2010, 03:55 PM

TD NE!! Woodhead!

jeff061 · 12-12-2010, 03:59 PM

As long as the Pats keep playing the way they have on offense the last few weeks, I don't know how you stop them. They have to cool down on their own. It's crazy.

Coffee Warlord · 12-12-2010, 04:03 PM

Well then. Have a feeling I might be turning this one off at halftime.

DaddyTorgo · 12-12-2010, 04:03 PM

What was that stat? The bears had only allowed 3 TD drives of over 80 yds all year, and have given up 2 already today??

Fumble?? Ooooh that's gonna be CLOSE.

If it stands though...that's a fumble recovery for a TD by the Pats...

DaddyTorgo · 12-12-2010, 04:06 PM

Fuck me motherfuckers!!! That's some lucky shit (him landing on McCourty's foot so he wasn't down)...TD Pats.

Yikes.

Somebody please fire everybody involved with FOX's broadcasting decisions. Why the hell are they playing graduation type music during every replay?

Alan T · 12-12-2010, 04:13 PM

Looks like I was right about the weather slowing down the Pats. On a sunny day they would have had 50 by now!

(ok, so I was wrong.)

Tom's been lucky he hasn't gotten picked on a couple of those tipped balls though...

Is it just my tv, or does the turf in the New orleans game look really really awful?

ball's out!!! Pats have it!!

DaddyTorgo · 12-12-2010, 04:23 PM

gettin a bit chippy here.

Umm - if Light gets shoved down by a Bear there how is that not a penalty?

jeff061 · 12-12-2010, 04:23 PM

lol, Mankins is such an asshole.

I love it.

DaddyTorgo · 12-12-2010, 04:31 PM

I'll say this about the announcers - they're right that this defense is really starting to come together over the past couple weeks...wow.

DaddyTorgo · 12-12-2010, 04:33 PM

EDELMAN!!!

He almost broke the first one...he wasn't about to screw that one up.

Ugh...flag.

DaddyTorgo · 12-12-2010, 04:36 PM

Brady shoulda been picked there!!

cougarfreak · 12-12-2010, 04:36 PM

Damn............New England is a machine.

DaddyTorgo · 12-12-2010, 04:37 PM

oops - blown coverage by Bears.

59yd TD pass to Branch to end the half.

And the Bears deferred at the start of the game.

DaddyTorgo · 12-12-2010, 04:38 PM

oops - missed the XP.

jbergey22 · 12-12-2010, 04:40 PM

Looks like the Bears were prepared this game. Wow!

Leave the guy wide open to end the half.

Kind of looks like the Pats need to haul in a bunch of snow and play all of their games in it. Destroyed Tennessee last year and doing the same to Chicago this year.

Pretty much. They are the opposite of 2007. They have Branch, Welker, Hernandez, Gronkowski and Woodhead being equally heavy contributers. And every one of them seems to consistently be at the top of their game. Can't remember last time I've seen something like this.

kingfc22 · 12-12-2010, 04:45 PM

Niners look like they will pick up win #5 today and will move up within a game of first. LMAO!!!

JonInMiddleGA · 12-12-2010, 04:53 PM

How does an entire division end up as bad as the NFC Worst simultaneously?

whomario · 12-12-2010, 04:55 PM

The bears play like they never even seen snow, let alone trained or played football in it ...

Big Fo · 12-12-2010, 04:59 PM

Nice, CBS switched from Pats v. Bears to Dolphins v. Jets. No more crappy streams.
