[pr0digy]

[IcedOpethBlind]

theres a fantasy football thread two threads below this one...

you want to start boldin though, no doubt, not even a question

[splitsecond]

guys, do i want to start derrick mason or anquon boldin....mason has been playing better as of late, but idk :(

boldin

[J.C.]

Two Chief games in a row on TV here. Finally catching a break.

[jimjam32]

i get two shitty games.

PIT @ DET and MIN @ STL

boring football till 4 pm.

[TEAMRAMROD]

Let's go Bucs.

[TEAMRAMROD]

Hello Jeremiah Trotter.

[Killadelphia]

Let's go Bucs.

boooooooooooo

[IcedOpethBlind]

lol Crayton wow

[TEAMRAMROD]

boooooooooooo
Haha this could get ugly.

[Killadelphia]

3rd and short and Tampa runs a under-center option run...nice play-calling.

[J.C.]

What an absolute fucking joke. There was no reason why that should have been blown dead. Horseshit.

[TEAMRAMROD]

Lol Washington's already on the board.

[TEAMRAMROD]

Of course, Elbert Mack got burned.

[Killadelphia]

God Maclin and Jackson's speed out there is ridiculous. We can do the Rex offense all day

[pr0digy]

odd call by the lions to decline that offsides penalty...

[IcedOpethBlind]

weak play calling by Cincy in the red zone

[IcedOpethBlind]

haha wow Cincy

[TEAMRAMROD]

odd call by the lions to decline that offsides penalty...
How many yards did they have to go?

[J.C.]

That was pass interference, not holding.

Motherfuck this officiating crew.

[IcedOpethBlind]

Minny D w/ a TD haha

definitely considering always starting whatever D faces St. Louis from now on...

[pr0digy]

How many yards did they have to go?

pretty sure it was 4th and 5- 5.5

[pr0digy]

Mendenhall!!!!

[TEAMRAMROD]

pretty sure it was 4th and 5- 5.5
Hm. If it wouldn't have given them a first down then I'd understand.

[MyWorldEntire]

This week is so bad for match-ups, and no Bears game.

[J.C.]

Willie Parker's never getting his job back.

[xbrokendownx]

what a fucking throw by manning to steve smith

[Scott Weber]

mendenhall has taken that job and isn't looking back.

[xbrokendownx]

2nd TD of the game for Bradshaw already

[pr0digy]

mendenhall for mcfadden so far has been one of the best moves i've made all year...i just wonder what the steelers are going to do when willie parker comes back

[TEAMRAMROD]

Why would you throw it to Clayton on fourth down? The guy can't catch a cold.

[TEAMRAMROD]

mendenhall for mcfadden so far has been one of the best moves i've made all year...i just wonder what the steelers are going to do when willie parker comes back
I doubt they do anything. Mendenhall's playing great.

[MyWorldEntire]

2nd TD of the game for Bradshaw already

Bill Simmons was agonizing over whether to start him or Moreno. He went with Moreno, and is now bitching up a storm on Twitter.

[jimjam32]

lions look.... competitive!?

[Killadelphia]

vick in.

[J.C.]

Romo just keeps throwing to whoever Donald Washington is on.

[Killadelphia]

damn no discipline today.

[TEAMRAMROD]

Aside from getting burned on one play last week, Talib has looked great.

[xbrokendownx]

the Rams are terrible

[Killadelphia]

Aside from getting burned on one play last week, Talib has looked great.

that one call was a little weak.

[xbrokendownx]

bradshaw is beasting

[jimjam32]

i shouldn't have sat cedric benson :(

...is there going to be a TO sighting today?


and LOL @ fob's "i don't care" being the steelers/lions musical theme for the day.

[TEAMRAMROD]

that one call was a little weak.
That last play? Yeah, not the best call by the Eagles but overall, Talib has really stepped it up. If he wasn't such an idiot off the field...

[Killadelphia]

That last play? Yeah, not the best call by the Eagles but overall, Talib has really stepped it up. If he wasn't such an idiot off the field...

no the OPI call on the first down catch.

[jimjam32]

rams wearing throwbacks? that's the only thing to like about that team.

[xbrokendownx]

hahahahahaha the raiders are so bad

3rd and 24 for the giants and they throw a screen to bradshaw who goes for 55 yards

[KidRobot]

bradshaw is beasting

115 total yards, 2 td's in the 1st quarter.

So good.

[MyWorldEntire]

Holy shit Ahmad Bradshaw. Bill Simmons is going to be getting his noose out any minute.

[TEAMRAMROD]

no the OPI call on the first down catch.
Yeah I didn't see too much there.

[xbrokendownx]

Holy shit Ahmad Bradshaw. Bill Simmons is going to be getting his noose out any minute.




one can only hope

[IcedOpethBlind]

ugh Carson

Ed Reed w/ the pick 6

[jimjam32]

samkon gado is still in the nfl?

[wesgemm08]

Bill Simmons was agonizing over whether to start him or Moreno. He went with Moreno, and is now bitching up a storm on Twitter.

I did the same thing.. sucks right now

[xbrokendownx]

TD manningham

[AshesAshes]

Hahaha the chiefs o-line is so bad

[pr0digy]

Damn that was a sick pick 6 from Ed Reed

[jimjam32]

the only thing my roommate likes about NFL sunday is the commercials for Glee.

[pr0digy]

sigh, why must my bucs suck sooo fucking bad this year..

EDIT: thank god for that penalty on the eagles..

[IcedOpethBlind]

that was a sick catch by Henry

[TEAMRAMROD]

Josh Johnson is fun to watch, but he needs to know when to throw it away.

[AshesAshes]

Anybody else watch the nfl redzone channel?? It's a nice alternative when fox/cbs have shit games on

[MyWorldEntire]

Wow Rams. I thinking I made the right choice with Moreno over S. Jackson

[xbrokendownx]

28-0 Giants with 12 minutes left in the first half

[Scott Weber]

Anybody else watch the nfl redzone channel?? It's a nice alternative when fox/cbs have shit games on
it's amazing.

[Killadelphia]

Macho Harris should be benched if Tampa scores.

[xbrokendownx]

i just found NFL redzone in HD on comcast...loving it

[IcedOpethBlind]

haha touchdown Vrabel

[Sventhegreat]

Damnit Favre.

[Killadelphia]

I guess we want Tampa to score, just give them 7 and get the ball back because this is pathetic.

[MyWorldEntire]

Eli Manning's playing better than I expected. Maybe I will have a chance in fantasy this week.

[Until The Bombs]

Let's go Chiefs!

[Scott Weber]

i just found NFL redzone in HD on comcast...loving it
we don't get it in HD here yet.

[xbrokendownx]

lol 10-0 chiefs

[Killadelphia]

i just found NFL redzone in HD on comcast...loving it

what channel?

[chcougar1]

i just found NFL redzone in HD on comcast...loving it

oh damn...I wonder if I have it in HD also SD sucks on my tv

[xbrokendownx]

its 274 for me

[chcougar1]

we don't get it in HD here yet.

I guess this answers my question. Damn.

[TEAMRAMROD]

Are you kidding me?

[chcougar1]

The Cowboys are awful.

[pr0digy]

stupid.fucking.bucs :( :( :(

[Killadelphia]

Can't see Tampa's coach lasting long.

[xbrokendownx]

wowww weird play in carolina

hoover ran the original handoff but #47 was the one that emerged with the ball, meaning a fumble occurred and it was 4th down so washington gets the ball at the 1

[IcedOpethBlind]

Dallas is falling apart

[Killadelphia]

Dallas is falling apart

you had to be good to fall apart. They were never good.

[teddy]

cowboys suck.

[chcougar1]

wowww weird play in carolina

hoover ran the original handoff but #47 was the one that emerged with the ball, meaning a fumble occurred and it was 4th down so washington gets the ball at the 1

Oh weird...the fantasy cast said Hoover scored a TD and I was pissed because I have D Williams

[TEAMRAMROD]

Can't see Tampa's coach lasting long.
I can. I don't think the Glazers will give up on him that fast.

[IcedOpethBlind]

what a throw by Carson, shouldve been a TD

[TEAMRAMROD]

:jawdrop: Celek.

[Killadelphia]

Holy fuck, Celek just made a crazy leap over Ronde Barber.

[Drew Beringer]

The Vikings are going to win the NFC North easily.

[xbrokendownx]

haha and when washington got that ball back at the 1, panthers get a safety

[Scott Weber]

the vikings should be running like crazy. i don't know why they're throwing so much.

[TEAMRAMROD]

I really don't like Elbert Mack.

[Killadelphia]

Maclin has been impressive thus far.

[xbrokendownx]

TD Philly...Leonard Weaver

[IcedOpethBlind]

wow not sure that was a fumble, tough break for Cincy if its overturned

thats about as close as you can get though

[AshesAshes]

lol big ben

[xbrokendownx]

lol sinorice moss FAIL

[MyWorldEntire]

The Vikings are going to win the NFC North easily.

Don't bury the Bears just yet, they have two games left against the Vikes.

[chcougar1]

Wow the Giants just got fucked...not that they need another TD haha

[xbrokendownx]

TD hines ward

[xbrokendownx]

hahahah EJ Henderson just got the biggest gift INT ever

[IcedOpethBlind]

lol Ocho Cinco wow

Ed Reed is ridiculous

[TEAMRAMROD]

Td K2!

[Killadelphia]

Eagles defense was so pathetic on that drive.

[xbrokendownx]

lol cowboys WRs cant catch

[IcedOpethBlind]

Dallas needs to start utilizing Witten in the red zone, awful

[pand75]

Bills stink.

[xbrokendownx]

bradshaw got hurt ruh roh

[Scott Weber]

david carr is already in for the giants? hahahahaha.

[Killadelphia]

Maclin again for a TD, holy fuck. Another WR steal by Andy Reid.

[TEAMRAMROD]

Maclin's getting all the catches I need Jackson to make.

[duhpunk]

Thankfully, McNabb is having a good game, but I need some points from Westbrook too in the second half

[Killadelphia]

Thankfully, McNabb is having a good game, but I need some points from Westbrook too in the second half

we're not even running. I doubt Westbrook gets any carries plus Westbrook and McCoy are alternating series.

[Killadelphia]

Winslow has looked great for Tampa.

[TEAMRAMROD]

Great run by Ward. With a facemask too.

[Killadelphia]

Just like the last 10 years, defense still blows when another team does the 2 minute drill.

[jimjam32]

thanks espn for telling me that jamal lewis wasn't playing. thanks mangini for sitting jerome harrison after he had 150 yards last week

[TEAMRAMROD]

Definitely a catch by K2.

[J.C.]

Josh Johnson is impressive.

[TEAMRAMROD]

Josh Johnson is impressive.
Absolutely. He'll progress over time.

[TEAMRAMROD]

Holy crap Donald Penn. Let's throw him in the backfield.

[Killadelphia]

nfl redzone hd is channel 274 for comcast.

[chcougar1]

hahaha Tackle for TB rumblin bumblin stumblin

[pr0digy]

LOL @ that tampa catch by the O lineman

[duhpunk]

Holy crap Donald Penn. Let's throw him in the backfield.

that shit was funny

[chcougar1]

nfl redzone hd is channel 274 for comcast.

410 here, but no HD yet

[xbrokendownx]

lol picked by Samuel

they are giving the game away

[TEAMRAMROD]

:wallbash:

[Killadelphia]

y not just kick the fg? last play took 5 seconds off the clock.

[TEAMRAMROD]

y not just kick the fg? last play took 5 seconds off the clock.
Andrus has yet to attempt a field goal in his career.

[Killadelphia]

Andrus has yet to attempt a field goal in his career.

so are they going to go for it for the rest of the year?

[TEAMRAMROD]

so are they going to go for it for the rest of the year?
I think they were anticipating have time left if they play didn't work out. Morris is going to get hell at the press conference for not taking 3 right away though.

[Killadelphia]

I think they were anticipating have time left if they play didn't work out. Morris is going to get hell at the press conference for not taking 3 right away though.

He's gone for it 3 times already when he should have kicked. I understand time might be on, but they ran off 5 seconds on the play before. They could or could not have had 1 sec left.

[TEAMRAMROD]

He's gone for it 3 times already when he should have kicked. I understand time might be on, but they ran off 5 seconds on the play before. They could or could not have had 1 sec left.
I was expecting a quick post to K2. The middle was open the last few plays.

[SwiftSilentDead]

I just turned this game on. 10-2? I'm afraid to even ask what happened.

[xbrokendownx]

TD Favre to Shiancoe

[pseudonym28]

watching the bengals - ravens game online.

[TEAMRAMROD]

watching the bengals - ravens game online.
Thank you for posting that in two different threads.

[chcougar1]

Wow. It is pretty sad for the Raiders when the coverage of their game gets switched to the Steelers-Lions game because it is closer haha

[jimjam32]

is this the 2003 daunte culpepper?

[SwiftSilentDead]

Our running game has become basically useless this year. I have no idea what's happening with us.

[TEAMRAMROD]

Is Megatron coming back in?

[chcougar1]

Jake Delhomme blows. Sorry for posting the obvious...he is really screwing chances of D Williams/ S Smith doing any good

[jimjam32]

redskins scoring like crazy by their standards.

[SwiftSilentDead]

Jake Delhomme blows. Sorry for posting the obvious...he is really screwing chances of D Williams/ S Smith doing any good

Williams having 13 carries for 23 yards definitely isn't Delhomme's fault. We just need to run the ball more and get Steward more involved in the game. Why we keep trying this pass-first offense is beyond me.

[jimjam32]

kevin williams just murdered kyle boller

[preppyak]

watching the bengals - ravens game online.
sadly that's my regular game...that and Skins/Car...I want to watch Steelers-Lions
redskins scoring like crazy by their standards.
seriously...but I want to see what happens if they lose the game 27-24

[SwiftSilentDead]

What a run by Benson.

Bad snap on the extra point.

[jimjam32]

i will never sit cedric benson for the rest of the season

[jimjam32]

What a run by Benson.

Bad snap on the extra point.
when will they get rid of that snapper? jesus

[duhpunk]

i woke up too late to check my lineup and see if he was starting...i have Westbrook and Brown in, with Johnson and Benson on the bench

[SwiftSilentDead]

when will they get rid of that snapper? jesus

He lucked out because there was an illegal formation on the Ravens, so the play didn't count. But yeah, I think he'll be gone very soon.

[pr0digy]

wtf is with the cowboys lately..

[duhpunk]

Samuel beasting

[pseudonym28]

sadly that's my regular game...that and Skins/Car...I want to watch Steelers-Lions

seriously...but I want to see what happens if they lose the game 27-24

steelers - lions is on my fox channel i do not want to watch that, browns - bills on my cbs.

[duhpunk]

1st rushing TD of the year for Westbrook...finally

[xbrokendownx]

derek anderson's line:

2/12, 23 yards, INT

[TEAMRAMROD]

Solid.

[duhpunk]

derek anderson's line:

2/12, 23 yards, INT

oh lawdy

[xbrokendownx]

long TD run for Tashard choice

[TEAMRAMROD]

Yes, finally TD Choice.

[chcougar1]

Thank you Choice...nice 9 point add to your fantasy value:)

[duhpunk]

holy shit josh johnson

[jimjam32]

derek anderson's line:

2/12, 23 yards, INT
PUT IN BRADY QUINN WE DON'T KNOW WHAT HE CAN DO I BET HE'S BETTER

[TEAMRAMROD]

Great run by Johson and of course it's coming back.

[1moreandimfree]

buffalo and the browns is cringe worthy

[preppyak]

derek anderson's line:

2/12, 23 yards, INT
sounds about right

[preppyak]

Minnesota D has been awesome for me so far

[xbrokendownx]

another TD for AP

[Drew Beringer]

long TD run for Tashard choice
needed that for my fantasy team

[jimjam32]

i wish willie parker never got injured. now pittsburgh knows how good mendenhall is. bad news for the rest of the afc

[jimjam32]

Minnesota D has been awesome for me so far
killing me in fantasy football.

[preppyak]

buffalo and the browns is cringe worthy
yeah, seriously...the Bills should be killing them, statistically speaking, if not for penalties

[MyWorldEntire]

derek anderson's line:

2/12, 23 yards, INT

Brady Quinn needs to be back in there, Anderson is a joke.

[TEAMRAMROD]

Unbelievable. Another pick for the Eagles.

[duhpunk]

Eagles D looking good. another pick

[duhpunk]

now, can I has some Westbrook?

[MyWorldEntire]

David Carr: please stop ignoring your best receiver.

[TEAMRAMROD]

I don't understand how McCoy hasn't fumbled yet.

[S9Dallasoz]

Every week I am reminded of why I chose to be a Niners fan.

[SwiftSilentDead]

Holy shit @ Ray Rice.

[IcedOpethBlind]

Ray fucking Rice!!!

[pr0digy]

Ray Riceeeeeee!!!!!

[chcougar1]

Nice run by Ray Rice!

[pseudonym28]

dammit ray rice.

[Scott Weber]

that ray rice play was soooo awesome.

[chcougar1]

haha is Flozell Adams the worst offensive lineman in the NFL?

[1moreandimfree]

love ray rice

[TEAMRAMROD]

Ray Rice is a beast.

[SwiftSilentDead]

Nice run, Stewart. I want to see more running plays like that from us.

[preppyak]

about rice:

wow, just saw the replay, how did he stay up?

[preppyak]

Nice run, Stewart. I want to see more running plays like that from us.
so does my fantasy team

[preppyak]

hahaha, GuJo

"THROOOOOOOWWWWWWWS"

[Killadelphia]

Seriously, the option in the NFL again? it doesn't work Andy. Ever.

[1moreandimfree]

tjack in

[chcougar1]

Nice run, Stewart. I want to see more running plays like that from us.

Yeah I have both D Williams and Stewart on my fantasy team and I've had Stewart on the bench all season...a combined 3 points for those two is not acceptable at all!

[SwiftSilentDead]

so does my fantasy team

Yeah I have both D Williams and Stewart on my fantasy team and I've had Stewart on the bench all season...a combined 3 points for those two is not acceptable at all!

I wouldn't get your hopes up with the way things have been going this year, haha.

[preppyak]

jesus, Flacco just over-threw the game winning TD

[jimjam32]

if the bengals get a chance odds are palmer drives them down to score like he has done every game of the season so far.

[chcougar1]

I wouldn't get your hopes up with the way things have been going this year, haha.

Yeah I should probably drop at least one of them, but most decent RB's are taken in my league

[jimjam32]

as bad as the lions were last year it looks like they're onto something with jim schwartz

[Drew Beringer]

hahaha, GuJo

"THROOOOOOOWWWWWWWS"
what game is GuJo calling?

[TEAMRAMROD]

This game could've been so much closer.

[Killadelphia]

btw, I'm sure it was posted but if not sims-walker is not playing because he broke team rules.

[SwiftSilentDead]

Okay, this last play has me very confused.

Randle El got shoved into by another Redskin player, it bounced off his shoe, then we recovered it. So it's our ball? The initial ruling was that we touched the ball first, so it's "illegal touching" and it was Washington's ball. They quickly reversed it...I'm still confused on what happened.

[pand75]

Fuck Chestor Taylor.

[preppyak]

what game is GuJo calling?
ravens bengals

[pseudonym28]

cardiac cats?

[Drew Beringer]

ravens bengals
I don't get that game, crap.

[chcougar1]

btw, I'm sure it was posted but if not sims-walker is not playing because he broke team rules.

Are you kidding me?

FUCK! There goes about 10 points of mine:(

[1moreandimfree]

Fuck Chestor Taylor.

why

[chcougar1]

Okay, this last play has me very confused.

Randle El got shoved into by another Redskin player, it bounced off his shoe, then we recovered it. So it's our ball? The initial ruling was that we touched the ball first, so it's "illegal touching" and it was Washington's ball. They quickly reversed it...I'm still confused on what happened.

COME ON RUNNING GAME!!

Damn...wrong running back lol

[preppyak]

Okay, this last play has me very confused.

Randle El got shoved into by another Redskin player, it bounced off his shoe, then we recovered it. So it's our ball? The initial ruling was that we touched the ball first, so it's "illegal touching" and it was Washington's ball. They quickly reversed it...I'm still confused on what happened.
I didn't see it happen...but they have the ball now

edit: and they just scored as a result of it, awesome...I hope the Redskins lose because of a Randel El muffed punt

[SwiftSilentDead]

STEWART THANK GOD!x

[preppyak]

STEWART THANK GOD!x
seriously

[TEAMRAMROD]

Why isn't K2 in right now?

[IcedOpethBlind]

great run Palmer

[pseudonym28]

4th and 2

[SwiftSilentDead]

Now I just need to hope that our defense holds up in a clutch situation for once. We've done very well so far today, so I'm hoping it sustains.

and I'm surprised a lot of you started Stewart today considering that hasn't gotten a lot of production in the first 3 games, haha.

[poppa Q]

whothefuck is K2 and who is Megatron?

[TEAMRAMROD]

K2 is money.

[TEAMRAMROD]

whothefuck is K2 and who is Megatron?
Kellen Winslow and Calvin Johnson.

[chcougar1]

Wow. The Ravens are trying to give them the game!

[IcedOpethBlind]

daaaaaaamn Ray Lewis

knocked chads helmet off

[pr0digy]

LOL RAY LEWIS, trying to kill ochocinco

[1moreandimfree]

fuck ray lewis

[IcedOpethBlind]

Coats sucks

that was alot tougher catch than earlier though

[1moreandimfree]

yikesss

[poppa Q]

Kellen Winslow and Calvin Johnson.
ah thank you thank you.

I wish they would have cut to the end of BAL/CIN instead of KC and Dallas...

[SwiftSilentDead]

Oh shit Palmer.

[IcedOpethBlind]

holy shit

Ravens are killing themselves

[chcougar1]

Have some pass interference haha

and nice FG block by Dalas

[pand75]

they are abusing Chad so bad.

[IcedOpethBlind]

Carson!

[1moreandimfree]

wow

[pr0digy]

holy shit cincy...

[TEAMRAMROD]

Wow Cincy.

[SwiftSilentDead]

Caldwell again!

[pr0digy]

though to be fair, the ravens D pretty much gave them half the field for free on stupid ass penalties

[preppyak]

cardiac cats is such a terrible nickname for any team

But nice TD by Palmer

[poppa Q]

lol Carson Palmer again...wow

[chcougar1]

You gotta admit Carson Palmer has been absolutely clutch this season

[duhpunk]

Man, Cincy doing what they do best...

[jimjam32]

wow carson palmer is the most clutch player of 2009
