WTF Fox.

Video feed going out...THEN you cut to the Halftime report while the Bears are still driving?

hoopsguy · 09-15-2013, 02:30 PM

Technical difficulties have wiped out video for the last 5 minutes of Chicago/Minnesota. Including the Viking TD that tied up the score at 21.

No DirectTV, home game, so no option to flip over to other game. Pretty frustrating. That feeling is only magnified upon hearing Billick & Co apologize for technical difficulties while reminding me that "no one does it better than the NFL on Fox."

Radii · 09-15-2013, 02:30 PM

Really nice 2 minute drive led by Cam, 90 yard drive, TD pass to Olson. The one highlight in a really, really crappy game, 7-3 Panthers at the half.

Jas_lov · 09-15-2013, 02:32 PM

The only way the Redskins can stop the Packers is if a Packer WR reaches out for the goal line, loses the ball and it hits the pylon for a touch back. Would have been nice to go up 31-0 there. Rodgers should be able to get a nice rest in the 4th quarter.

korme · 09-15-2013, 02:39 PM

Griffin just start throwing the ball to Leonard Hankerson. I started him, you know that right?

The key here is to know that the Redskins will be throwing the rest of the game, so Hankerson should end up with some solid garbage time catches. Maybe they'll put in Cousins.

Easy Mac · 09-15-2013, 02:40 PM

Malcolm Floyd is lucky not to be dead right now.

TroyF · 09-15-2013, 02:41 PM

9 early games, 6 QB's over 200 yards at halftime.

Rodgers
Rivers
Vick
Ryan
Tannehil
Luck

The early games do not include either Manning, Wilson, Kaepernick, Stafford, or Brees.

400 yards is the new 300 yards.

Julio Riddols · 09-15-2013, 02:43 PM

It looks like the game plan for beating Philly is to keep their defense on the field as much as possible, which makes sense.. Somehow I still don't think that will be enough for the Chargers.

ColtCrazy · 09-15-2013, 02:43 PM

Great Dolphin-Colts game so far. Dolphins raced ahead, but Luck seems to just reach another level when the Colts are under pressure. Fun game. Tannehill looks good too. Both teams need better running attacks, but Bradshaw is showing some flashes today.

Julio Riddols · 09-15-2013, 02:46 PM

I think I like E.J. Manuel enough to say that Buffalo has their best QB since Kelly.

EagleFan · 09-15-2013, 02:48 PM

Floyd being taken off, looked like one of those bad freak combination of events. Hope he is okay. He was moving his legs so that is good.

Easy Mac · 09-15-2013, 02:49 PM

I like how every time red zone flips to a new game, theres another player lying motionless or writhing on the ground.

EagleFan · 09-15-2013, 02:51 PM

This Eagles defense (if that's what you want to call it) is going to be painful to watch all season.

Julio Riddols · 09-15-2013, 02:58 PM

Eddie Royal? Who is this Eddie Royal?

Is it just me or does Phillip Rivers have that look that just makes you want to punch him in the face?

EagleFan · 09-15-2013, 03:10 PM

Holy crap, they defended a pass!!!

Julio Riddols · 09-15-2013, 03:14 PM

I'm convinced Ray Rice is over the hill in some way.

Also Vick.. Whooooo, boy that offense..

hoopsguy · 09-15-2013, 03:14 PM

Bears recover a WR fumble in end zone, called as touch back. But I don't think Vikings guy ever had control of that ball.

Reversal = 4th and 6, short field goal to tie game.

You just noticed this? In the early part of his career, I hated the guy with a passion because of it, but respected just how good of a QB he was. Man, he was special for awhile.

Then, he descended into average and then complete sucktitude. Now I don't even have to respect him, I just wait for him to fold after he looks good for two quarters. If I ever had a son, Rivers would be the guy I would teach my kid NOT to emulate in body language. (Cutler would be another one)

So Vick overthrows Jackson like four time when he doesn't have anyone within 10 yards of him and then hits him in stride when the pass had to be perfect. Go figure. This Eagles offense is unreal. They've left at least 21 points on the field today.

DaddyTorgo · 09-15-2013, 03:17 PM

Ryan Succup...LOL...best name in the NFL?

Never really saw much Chargers football.

KC crowd noise clearly doing the job. Romo only 22/27.

And yet in Minnesota we celebrate when the QB manages to get 100 yards by halftime. Or the end of the game.

EagleFan · 09-15-2013, 03:20 PM

The Ravens are making me nervous, have them in a survivor pool. Not what I expected, thought they would crank it up this week after the loss.

Coffee Warlord · 09-15-2013, 03:28 PM

Chicago D is looking decidedly old, Chicago O looking decidedly mediocre.

RedKingGold · 09-15-2013, 03:36 PM

With all these close games in the 4th quarter, I think we're going to have one of those magical days where I'm very thankful RedZone was invented.

ColtCrazy · 09-15-2013, 03:47 PM

Dolphins nearly wrap up Luck on 3rd and 12. He somehow escapes and runs for a first down. Must be the 4th quarter. Madden should have a fourth quarter Luck like they had a Sunday Tiger. Damn, I love watching Luck play.

Hey Radii,

watching on red zone here-looked like a lot of injuries for Carolina-who got hurt, any serious?

ColtCrazy · 09-15-2013, 03:53 PM

Luck picked in the end zone. Oh well. Not looking good for the win today. Dolphins may be a good challenge for New England.

Thomkal · 09-15-2013, 03:53 PM

Tony Romo trying very hard to get intercepted. Man, glad I didn't pick Houston in the survivor pool

RedKingGold · 09-15-2013, 03:54 PM

Kansas City getting a taste of Reid's clock management skills, has blown two TO's in the second half only up by 4 with Dallas driving.

8 minutes left in a four point game? I don't think hope is lost quite yet.

No. That's the negativity in me coming out.

But the Dolphins are moving. Worried this becomes a two score game.

Update: good spot gives the Dolphins another first down.

miami_fan · 09-15-2013, 03:58 PM

I am going to guess that there is no chance of having another NFL player nicknamed Blood and getting honored with a statue.

kingfc22 · 09-15-2013, 04:04 PM

Guess the answer to how long Vick would hold up has been answered. No way he gets through 16.

ColtCrazy · 09-15-2013, 04:13 PM

No protection for Luck. Turnover on downs.

Dolphins looked tough. Colts not bad, but they need help along the line. Luck needs protection.

And Jamaal Charles running OOB. Gets bailed out by a questionable PI call on Dallas. Crowd noise must have made the ref throw that.

AFC East now 4-0 outside the division. BEST DIVISION IN FOOTBALL!!!!

It's a great offense for him. Even if he and McCoy hold up, the bigger question is whether a coach that gives 100% to his offense and doesn't have great talent on defense can win in the NFL.

If Philly wins 12 games and scores 500 points, the NFL will look very different next year.

Mizzou B-ball fan · 09-15-2013, 04:28 PM

Man, was amazing to see the difference in the Cowboys when the Chiefs got in front and started double teaming Bryant. Their offense went from good to abysmal in a huge hurry. Romo doesn't know where to go if you put two players on Bryant.

Also funny to hear all the comments on the telecast given the discussion earlier in the week:

"Chiefs crowd is playing a major factor in the game." - Tim Ryan

"Frenzied crowd atmosphere here in KC" - Chris Myers

"I wish I could have heard what you said, but I'm sure it was exciting." - Chris Myers

"We pumped the noise into our practice facility specifically to prepare for this atmosphere." - Jason Garrett

"My last trip to Arrowhead didn't end well. It was crazy." - Alex Smith

"Sorry, we weren't able to hear you during that highlight." - Chris Myers

Cutler with back to back 4th quarter comebacks now. WTF.
