WOW. Huge return by Maurice Jones Drew.

you don't often start a possession at the 1 yard line of the opponent from the Kickoff

mckerney · 01-05-2008, 07:34 PM

Go Gary Russell! His sophomore year at Minnesota he was the best runningback the Gophers had in the past few years, better than Barber or Maroney.

He guaranteed victory for his team but when it came time to actually follow through on his guarantee, he guaranteed the win for the Packers when he threw the ball right to Al Harris, pick-6.

if favre had done that it would have been another cute story of how much he enjoys the game and so on...but hasselback did it and everyone shat on him. go figure.

Favre never would have said anything like that. Hasselbeck did it, cost his team the game, and deserves the criticism for doing so. He guaranteed victory, but for the wrong team.

dude you gotta be kidding me. that's exactly the kind of thing favre would say, he said as much after the game - he was hasselbeck's biggest influence when they were both in GB.

Could you please cite me a time when Favre guaranteed victory then?

Jas_lov · 01-05-2008, 08:07 PM

That was a great INT run back! But it may come back for the penalty.

I brought this up in a weekly thread a few weeks back, but I still don't understand the penalty enforced on the kickoff on that INT return. Take the play, decline the penalty.

Had that been a completion and defensive PI, would Pittsburgh have gotten the catch + 15 yards? No.

And I get, the 15 yards isn't nearly as big a deal as the TD. Eventhough, the "block" was Russell trying to make the tackle.

SirFozzie · 01-05-2008, 08:16 PM

Maybe from now on defenders will cut their hair close

JonInMiddleGA · 01-05-2008, 08:16 PM

"Down by contact" not nearly as interesting as "down by dreadlocks".

Jas_lov · 01-05-2008, 08:19 PM

TD Jones-Drew! Jacksonville is killing Roethlisberger!

SirFozzie · 01-05-2008, 08:19 PM

Way too easy.

Raiders Army · 01-05-2008, 08:21 PM

Man, this is ridickulus.

Jas_lov · 01-05-2008, 08:24 PM

The crowd should boo. This could be over by halftime. 4 sacks, 2 INTs.

Lathum · 01-05-2008, 08:27 PM

I think Jacksonville has the best shot at beating the Pats right now

SirFozzie · 01-05-2008, 08:29 PM

Wow. full speed, looked like Pass Interference.. slowed down, good call

Thanks! Can you keep picking against the Seahawks please - I'd like to see a major sports championship from my city again before I die...

Jas_lov · 01-05-2008, 08:43 PM

Another INT. Warm up Charlie Batch!

JonInMiddleGA · 01-05-2008, 08:43 PM

Whoa ! again.

SirFozzie · 01-05-2008, 08:43 PM

What a day for Ben to revert to 2006 mode

I almost picked the hawks today. I was looking at the points and a ton of people were taking the skins. But, I didn't want to let you guys down.

Though, I can tell you there is NO chance that the Seahawks win next week.

I took the Jags and the -3 in this game. So we shall see.

This game is over. Pittsburgh's defense is a disgrace.

Suburban Rhythm · 01-05-2008, 09:19 PM

Has there been one holding call made this game - either side? Watching Barnes fistful of Foote's jersey made me think of it. The whole 'holding happens every play, just a matter of if it's called'. I find it really hard to buy that there hasn't been one call, either direction, the entire game.

There's always going to be less calls in the playoffs. Smart teams will use that to their advantage. (Even if whiners say after the game, "they were holding on every play!!!".) Not mentioning any names.

I'm certainly rooting for the Titans tomorrow.

Jas_lov · 01-05-2008, 09:31 PM

TD Big Ben to Holmes. But now the defense will have to stop Jacksonville, and they can't.

Jas_lov · 01-05-2008, 09:50 PM

Holding, offense! Takes away a fantastic catch by Ward.

There is the holding call! Except, on a play that there wasn't holding...at least not on Mahan.

Carman Bulldog · 01-05-2008, 09:52 PM

I'm not a Steelers fan, but that was an awful call considering how the game has been enforced thus far.

Jas_lov · 01-05-2008, 09:56 PM

What the hell was Garrard doing! What an idiot!

Crapshoot · 01-05-2008, 09:56 PM

I spoke too soon again Ragone! Jacksonville's defense is a disgrace.

Ajaxab · 01-05-2008, 10:06 PM

Horrible interference call. At the very least call offsetting penalties.

General Mike · 01-05-2008, 10:06 PM

These refs are a disgrace.

SirFozzie · 01-05-2008, 10:06 PM

he had a point about that face mask on the 4th down play.

bhlloy · 01-05-2008, 10:07 PM

If they lose this game, it's Koetter and Del Rio's fault. No reason to start throwing the ball at all with that lead. And even if you do, you have to make sure your QB isn't just heaving it downfield.

Two great fourth quarters so far...

Lathum · 01-05-2008, 10:10 PM

What the hell!!

I go play Wii for a half hour and this is what happens

Carman Bulldog · 01-05-2008, 10:11 PM

Would an incidental face mask and a pass interference call offset and be a replay of down or only an intentional face mask?

Offsetting fouls, replay of down.

Jas_lov · 01-05-2008, 10:29 PM

What a run by Garrard!

SirFozzie · 01-05-2008, 10:29 PM

W o W.

Holy shit.

Lathum · 01-05-2008, 10:29 PM

what a play

Radii · 01-05-2008, 10:30 PM

That was just an incredible run. Not sliding and juking Polamalu for a bunch more yards is awesome.

Noop · 01-05-2008, 10:31 PM

Amazing play by Garrard

Lathum · 01-05-2008, 10:32 PM

I love the fact that they just showed the replay of Romo blowing it.
