mnf is fucking RIVETING

JAG · 10-24-2011, 08:53 PM

4th and 43, why didn't they go for it?

Lathum · 10-24-2011, 08:59 PM

This game rocks if you like kicking

Lathum · 10-24-2011, 09:01 PM

and flags

molson · 10-24-2011, 09:03 PM

"Kicking and flags" is actually the title of the book I'm writing about this game. There's a handsome picture of me smoking a pipe on the book jacket.

NorvTurnerOverdrive · 10-24-2011, 09:06 PM

Flacco. Gabbert. BARNBURNER

god help you if you needed any fantasy points in this game.

Julio Riddols · 10-24-2011, 09:10 PM

They say Flacco is a good QB on the cusp of being elite, but I am not buying it. Also, Maurice Jones Drew is made of butter.

NorvTurnerOverdrive · 10-24-2011, 09:12 PM

'this is bad football right here.'

you know it's bad when gruden can't even feign enthusiasm.

+1. Flacco is an over-hyped average qb. The guys he succeeded make him look better than he is.

Julio Riddols · 10-24-2011, 09:19 PM

haha, less than 100 total yards in the game combined so far.

Julio Riddols · 10-24-2011, 09:25 PM

Any game in the Lingerie Football League has a better brand of football than this.

Lathum · 10-24-2011, 09:37 PM

Didnt realize the Browns and Seahawks were playing a double header

Lathum · 10-24-2011, 09:40 PM

Jesus Christ it must suck to be a defensive player

jbergey22 · 10-24-2011, 09:47 PM

You guys do know there is a World Series game on correct?

MrBug708 · 10-24-2011, 09:49 PM

What's up with Ray Rice? He's costing me a fantasy win tonight

RainMaker · 10-24-2011, 09:50 PM

This is the worst game I've seen in a long time.

Julio Riddols · 10-24-2011, 09:51 PM

I'm watching this because I have a morbid fascination with train wrecks. I'm rubbernecking the NFL right now.

RainMaker · 10-24-2011, 09:54 PM

I needed Billy Cundiff and Ray Rice to get me some points. It is not going well.

bhlloy · 10-24-2011, 10:07 PM

The NFL needs to go to a Chase for the Cup format this season, just cut the bottom 16 teams out of the second half of the season and move on. Holy crap there have been some terrible games so far.

Crapshoot · 10-24-2011, 10:10 PM

Cmon over and watch baseball guys! There's a hell of a game going on...

Lathum · 10-24-2011, 10:18 PM

How on earth does someone from Jax not keep Del Rio from throwing that flag?

Matthean · 10-24-2011, 10:23 PM

So...is the mob holding a member of Rice's family or something?

edit: Matthean beat me to it, but I've been wondering about it all game.

molson · 10-24-2011, 10:36 PM

I hope B & B starts posting vague predictions about various sporting events, that all turn out to be correct.

Lathum · 10-24-2011, 10:43 PM

and that isn't a penalty?

Bigsmooth · 10-24-2011, 10:57 PM

Scobee is nails.

MrBug708 · 10-24-2011, 10:57 PM

It's something

Bigsmooth · 10-24-2011, 11:00 PM

Well that helps thin out some Survivor Pools. Nice.

They played the highlights of this game on ESPN with Yakkity Sacks as the background music.

Ksyrup · 10-25-2011, 06:57 AM

The sad thing is, that piece of turd probably got 4 times the number of viewers as game 5 of the WS tied 2-2 into the 8th.

Logan · 10-25-2011, 07:02 AM

Didn't read the article, but saw the headline that Game 4 beat the Sunday night matchup so likely not...

Ksyrup · 10-25-2011, 07:06 AM

Really? That's surprising. I mean, it shouldn't be surprising given the matchup, let alone the actual game, but I thought NFL football ruled all.

It got a 100 share in my house at least.

JonInMiddleGA · 10-25-2011, 08:58 AM

I suspect it's a case of Atlanta not being in line with the national numbers overall (which is often the case) but the WS didn't have a great night here.

WS avg 2.7 rtg, mostly on the strength of a strong finish after 10p.

Other, the game:
-- Got killed by ABC (DWTS 4.9 and lost to Castle 3.4)
-- Lost to CBS about half the night (HIMYM 2.4 vs 2.35 h2h, got killed by 2.5 Men 3.7 to 2.15, easily beat 2 Broke and M&M, fended off [i]Hawaii 5-0[i/]
-- Hell, even NBC managed a draw from 9p-930p with the first half of Sing Off.

cuervo72 · 10-25-2011, 09:12 AM

Wow, the above post has a LOT of 5s in its post number.

edit: As do nine others, I suppose.

Ksyrup · 10-25-2011, 09:13 AM

I read that it was still the lowest rated game 5 in history, even if it beat the NFL.

Once that is released (hopefully today) 1.3 will be focusing more on adding suggestions into the game so at the very least take the demo for a spin and if there's something you don't like now would be a good time to suggest changes.

Rizon · 10-25-2011, 08:47 PM

Dolphins continuing their implosion: they signed JP Losman to be backup QB.

Also, they are asking about Cowher. Same thing as earlier this year trying to get Harbaugh ... while they already have a coach.

And poor Sparano.
cbssports:

Quote:

In that game, Sparano was caught by television cameras pleading to game officials to review a touchdown just scored by the Broncos.

"If I don't call a timeout, I'm [sunk] and now I'm getting fired, OK?" he yelled while pointing toward Ross' owner's box.

Pumpy Tudors · 10-26-2011, 01:21 PM

Thinking about last Sunday night, I just realized that that was the first 62-7 game in the NFL since Dan Marino's last game. Now Curtis Painter gets to be the most recent starting quarterback in a 62-7 loss. It doesn't really mean anything. It just occurred to me.
