He's just not feeling it tonight..

Yup, I said it after the first possesion. He just is not sharp tonight.

The BF judge rules the ball is tipped by a rushing defender on the kicker and throws his hat or something. This is different than the kicker getting the ball away clean and then it's tipped by anyone past the LOS. Then, the receiving team must establish possession before possession can go back to the kicking team. When a QB goes back to pass and it's tipped by a DLman and then it hits the ground and another defender tips it, is it a live ball? I know that's a little apples and oranges, but a similar principle. There's no way the defender who's in the action, going for a tipped ball is going to "know" exactly where he is in reference to the LOS. Again, the interest would be to not penalize a defensive team who has just made an excellent defensive play. I mean think of how many punts are tipped or blocked overall. Something should happen.


P.S. Chiefs first 3 draft picks need to be OL, OL, WR. sheesh

Rivers is starting to look like Eli! lol

Worst game of Rivers career, by far.

Funny thing is, his previous worst game was, against the Chiefs. I just think they have him figured out.

He needs to throw about 10 more picks this game to catch up to Eli.

Don't understand why you throw it in that situation...you've been gashing them all night on the ground with L.T/Turner.
