Week 11 NFL gameday thread

[FondestMemory]

bullshit. that shit was uncatchable.

[rcrook]

That was such a weak P.I. call on the Steelers.

[rcrook]

LT! Thanks refs.

[preppyak]

Refs 7 - Steelers 0

[rcrook]

I'd also like to thank Mike Tomlin for the excellent field position.

[Scott Weber]

Johnson: 4 rec, 55 yards
congrats, and your colts barely won.

[IcedOpethBlind]

haha that kid....if steve slaton and ahman green werent running all over the colts defense the whole game the passing game would have been much more active. i swear, colts fans are probably the worst on AP.

[preppyak]

I'd also like to thank Mike Tomlin for the excellent field position.
Yeah...i was going to say "he was testing to see if Reed had any range in this weather'...but that is what pre-game is for. Anything outside 45 is a joke...and the last time Reed missed a kick, the field was like this condition wise

[FondestMemory]

i missed willie.

[Drew Beringer]

Hasselback just got rocked.

[FondestMemory]

looks like philly doesn't want the game to end in a tie.

such a stupid time to give up a 15 yard penalty.

[KidRobot]

Oh my god! We may get a winner in Cincy.

[rcrook]

he missed!

[kofiadrian]

holy crap.

[Scott Weber]

holy shit. that's gonna be a tie.

[FondestMemory]

hines ward!!

makes another shitty flag irrelevant.

[kofiadrian]

this is pathetic on so many levels.

[KidRobot]

Haha well that basically ends Philly's season either way. They'd have to lose only 1 game the res of the way.

[Drew Beringer]

hahahahahaha @ the Eagles and Bengals.

[FondestMemory]

go for this shit.

[FondestMemory]

dammit.

[kofiadrian]

LOL @ steelers.

[rcrook]

huge stop

[CarlosLunes]

hahahahahaha @ the Eagles and Bengals.

[Scott Weber]

cardinals are destroying seattle through the air.

[MyWorldEntire]

Kurt Warner: 18/20 213 Yards

[rcrook]

shit. at least we picked it up

[FondestMemory]

fuck yes.

[Drew Beringer]

http://i34.tinypic.com/10xvc5i.gif

hahaa sorry

[FondestMemory]

willie fucking laid that dude out.

[IcedOpethBlind]

Warner for MVP, legit.

[FondestMemory]

frank gore is beastin.

[Scott Weber]

warner INT. hawks return it for a big gain.

[FondestMemory]

troy is so fucking fun to watch.

[IcedOpethBlind]

great run morris

[duhpunk]

I love David Garrard

[rcrook]

Steelers are helping us out a lot with the penalties.

[MyWorldEntire]

LOL at the Rams

[Scott Weber]

haha oh god. the rams. poor guys.

[MyWorldEntire]

FUCK 49ers stop throwing the ball near the goal line! Freakin Shaun Hill has 25 points against me

[S9Dallasoz]

I've seen some 49er blow outs, but like this?
no.

Maybe they'll cut to another game in like the 3rd quarter.

[duhpunk]

TD MJD

x

[rcrook]

i can't believe they overturned that

[AshesAshes]

The Titans are losing no way!!!

[rcrook]

Rivers throws so many red zone inteceptions

edit: that is only his 2nd career red zone int. i feel like he has thrown a lot more.

[Scott Weber]

it is so nice to have hasselbeck with healthy receivers. this is the team i remembered. too bad it took 9 games to have our team healthy.

[MyWorldEntire]

Kerry Collins 4 MVP!!!!!!!!!

[duhpunk]

Philip Rivers is an asshole. 2 picks and only 72 yards.

[FondestMemory]

wow santonio. way to make it close.

[duhpunk]

phew. held em to a field goal

[rcrook]

Padres lead the Pirates 7-5

[MyWorldEntire]

Keep on giving it to Frank Gore

[Scott Weber]

if the cards are gonna score, let warner do it.

[Circa1628]

Padres lead the Pirates 7-5


HAHA

[MyWorldEntire]

Today is just not my day. You know things are going bad when Shaun Hill is outscoring Kurt Warner 25 to 9

[Scott Weber]

i don't understand what happened to seattle's defense. they are just dismal.

[MyWorldEntire]

No Arizona, NOT ANOTHER FIELD GOAL!

[FondestMemory]

i have rackers going, so i like all the zona fgs.

[Scott Weber]

wow. az is playing a weird game.

[Scott Weber]

td pass warner.

[teddy]

fucking arrington.

[MyWorldEntire]

Three Run Jack by Nate McLouth. Pirates take the 8-7 lead

[FondestMemory]

st. louis with the field goal to cut the deficit to 29.

[MyWorldEntire]

i have rackers going, so i like all the zona fgs.

I could have picked him up, but I somehow thought it would be a good idea to start Nate Kaeding when he is playing at Heinz Field...

[MyWorldEntire]

Haha I love the Coors Light Commercial with Brian Billick

[Scott Weber]

tenn takes the lead.

[Drew Beringer]

lolol at the Jags Witherspoon. fail

[FondestMemory]

yay kaeding!

[MyWorldEntire]

Damnit Kaeding

[Scott Weber]

hasselbeck throws an end zone INT, cards fumble on the INT return, seattle recovers, first and 10 in the red zone again. haha.

[Scott Weber]

ohhh shit. warner fumbles. hawks recover. it's go time.

[rcrook]

we fucking suck

[mht]

lol at the Eagles, Philly got it so hard they have a terrible sports city pity them!

[Scott Weber]

td duckett X2. 6 pt game.

[Scott Weber]

wow. portis is starting tonight.

[Scott Weber]

hot damn. seattle is going to get the ball back, down 6.

[Drew Beringer]

Let's go Seattle!

[Drew Beringer]

ooof bad decision by Bouldin

[Scott Weber]

fuck.

[Drew Beringer]

dammit Hasselback

[Drew Beringer]

Titans just put away the Jags.

[duhpunk]

Jags :-(

[FondestMemory]

gage finally having a game.

[MyWorldEntire]

Wow Seahawks

[Scott Weber]

oh wow. that is a disaster penalty for the steelers.

[FondestMemory]

hell of a throw by ben. that was huge.

[zizou1790]

these steeler games have been so stressful lately

[FondestMemory]

dammit.

[FondestMemory]

fuck yes.

now don't fuck this up.

[Drew Beringer]

nice hit by Reed

[Drew Beringer]

hahahahah TD Steelers!

[FondestMemory]

troy!!!!

way to prevent the first ever 11-10 final.

[rcrook]

hahahaha i think that fucked the spread up.

[rcrook]

Steelers -4.5 hahahaha. I'd be so pissed if I had money on the Chargers +4.5.

[preppyak]

hahahaha i think that fucked the spread up.
Beauty for me...I had the Steelers -4.5...that just turned a losing bet into a winning bet

I was real worried once I saw the weather, because the last time it was like this, it was a 3-0 game and that doesn't break that spread (and it was against a far worse Miami team). But thank you Troy.

[rcrook]

hahahaha. congrats preppy.

[Drew Beringer]

11-10 is the final then

[Drew Beringer]

Prep just got screwed at the end.

[rcrook]

hahahah Preppy you got fucked

[preppyak]

fuck...that blows as a ruling

oh well, my goal this weekend was either to make a ton of money on Centsports or go broke and be done with it...and after the Lesnar win, the Steelers not covering...all I have left is the Cowboys over the Skins to even have any money...so, go Redskins!

[FondestMemory]

that's fucking bullshit.

there was no goddamn forward pass? what the fuck were they looking at?

these refs hate pittsburgh as much as weber does.

fucking assholes.

[rcrook]

you won who cares about that td unless you bet on the steelers.

[preppyak]

these refs hate pittsburgh as much as weber does.

fucking assholes.
With a different set of refs, that game might have been 18 to 3

[anamericangod]

So glad the Chargers lost.

[livethesounds]

Titans really showed me something today. They played terribly and a bullshit call spotted the Jags their first touchdown. We knew we didn't play Titans football int he first half, and we came right out in the second half and did exactly what we wanted to. I was a little surprised with how fast we got the lead back, but it looks like Collins and Gage have finally started to get timing together. (a few weeks back that deep ball would have been 5 yards ahead of Gage). They connected 3 times on that play (Dinger loves it). This is a run first team, but it's also a team that can do whatever they need to do to win the game. First time in a while that the Titans have swept the Jags in a season. It feels great. 10-0 feels even better.

gonna be a fantastic game next week against the Jets.

[Drew Beringer]

DeAngelo Hall INT!

[preppyak]

haha, this isn't gonna help Donovan

6MVZg639gJ4

[Drew Beringer]

So glad I traded him for A-Rod in fantasy football.

[Matt008]

congrats, and your colts barely won.

A win's a win.. even better that we still pulled it out without Sanders

[atticusfinch]

well done, Titans. We'll be back next year when we're healthy. Injuries were our cancer this year.

[pand75]

I'm so stoked for the Bills game tomorrow, except it's supposed to snow up here.

[preppyak]

While i don't normally agree with conspiracy theories...there is no way the Steelers game should have been 11-10, the "illegal forward pass" was 5 yards backwards...they even reviewed the play, which means the ref had to be blind to fuck that up...and the ref even admitted afterwards he screwed it up.

What makes this one fun is that the Steelers still have gambling associated with their ownership (thats the minor element), and that the call in question didn't change the outcome of the game, just the outcome of the betting. And that they reviewed it (this is the major part) to "verify" the forward pass and, after the game was over, overturn the original correct ruling. Then the added things like the joke of a PI call early in the game and the 16,000 holding penalties called on the Steelers add in to it too

I doubt anything comes of it...but it could be a fun discussion

[rcrook]

why does that play even need to be reviewed. the call on the field whether they call it illegal forward pass or not has no impact on the game, just the spread.

[preppyak]

I was stunned they reviewed it in the first place...but then they overturned it, which really surprised me

[Drew Beringer]

I'm so stoked for the Bills game tomorrow, except it's supposed to snow up here.
That'll make it even better!

[pand75]

That'll make it even better!
Really? It's my first NFL game, super excited regardless of the weather lol

[MyWorldEntire]

haha, this isn't gonna help Donovan

6MVZg639gJ4

wow

[xbrokendownx]

Dolphins!

[pand75]

Dolphins! barely beat the Raiders!

:-)

[xbrokendownx]

last time i checked a 2 point win is the same as a 40 point win

we keep "barely winning", i dont care. they find ways to win and thats all that matters

my uncle had an 800 dollar swing because of that overturned call. he took SD

[Scott Weber]

sort of. 2 point wins over epically bad teams show a lot about your team though, especially when you squeak by a shit team for the 2nd straight week.

[livethesounds]

well done, Titans. We'll be back next year when we're healthy. Injuries were our cancer this year.

yea, injuries and the fact that you guys just aren't playing well. everybody has injuries. I know yours are to the O and D lines, which are two of the most critical areas, but still.
The Colts have injuries and they've muscled through them, as well as their shitty play. They're probably going to be in the playoffs at least.

Now, looking at the Titans schedule, i'm starting to think we really do have a decent chance to finish undefeated. That's not what I want, although i don't want us to just lose a game for the hell of it.
If we can beat the Jets at home next week we have the Lions, Browns, and Texans up next. Then we finish the season with a home game against the Steelers (I'm not sure how big of a game that will be, we'll both have sealed up playoffs, and probably 1st round byes.) Then end the season in Indi (Colts will probably still be playing for a playoff spot).

Weather we lose one before the Colts game or not i hope Vince Young gets to play the majority of that game. I think this season is the best thing that could possibly happen to him. He's been humbled and can watch and learn from a guy that's been doing this for a while. I'm hoping to see some improvements from him for the years to come.

[Drew Beringer]

Vince Young will never be a good quarterback.

[livethesounds]

thanks for that.

[FondestMemory]

sort of. 2 point wins over epically bad teams show a lot about your team though, especially when you squeak by a shit team for the 2nd straight week.

they show you can find ways to win. and coming from a team that won one game all of last year, that says a lot about how far they've come in less than a season.

margin of victory in the nfl is completely irrelevant. even the bad teams are still full of professional football players playing for pride. there's no cakewalks at this level.

at the end of the day, whether or not you got the win is the only thing that matters.

i think that's complete bullshit. it may only matter when you play a good team, but if you cannot handle awful teams for 58 minutes, you're going to get eaten alive when you play a good one. i have zero faith in miami anymore and i think they'll get rocked the minute they play a playoff team.

[we are cured]

why does that play even need to be reviewed. the call on the field whether they call it illegal forward pass or not has no impact on the game, just the spread.

it's just a matter of principle. whether something happens in the first or last seconds of the game, the nfl is supposed to make the right call.

i have to admit though, it was funny seeing everyone leaving the bar in ecstasy as they thought they had covered.

they CRUSHED the patriots in new england, beat denver in denver, beat a good but struggling chargers team, barely lost to a 1st place jets team in week 1

look, i just didnt expect this big of a turnaround this fast. thats all. im ecstatic

[Clarett'sGreyGoose]

I'm so stoked for the Bills game tomorrow, except it's supposed to snow up here.
That makes it so much better, trust me. Plus high 20's and snow is better than mid/high 30's and freezing rain. I've been there for that, I would know.

[atticusfinch]

yea, injuries and the fact that you guys just aren't playing well. everybody has injuries. I know yours are to the O and D lines, which are two of the most critical areas, but still.
The Colts have injuries and they've muscled through them, as well as their shitty play. They're probably going to be in the playoffs at least.


When you've got a guy like Peyton Manning on your team who can lead your team back late several games in a row and barely lose one of them (to the jags) it's much easier to overcome injuries.

If you take away our running game, it is ridiculously easy to beat us, as many teams have proven since the pittsburgh playoff game last year, when we couldn't run the ball. Getting Mo Williams and Vince Manuwai back next season will bring back our running game. We were trying to fill some big shoes with some fresh faces, and it just wasn't getting done. Somehow, MJD has still managed to score 5 rushing TD's in the last 2 games, and granted, most of them were just goalline punch-ins, but that guy makes me excited for the teams' future at the RB position. He's in a tie for first in rushing TD's with 11 right now.

The biggest disappointment for me has been the shitty play all year of the Jaguars' secondary. Reggie Nelson looked liked Justin Gage's bitch all afternoon. He was dragged into the endzone a good 10-15 yards because of a pussy attempt at a tackle. Other than Rashean Mathis, the Jags' secondary has been pretty much awful.

Oh well. At least I've still got the Packers to root for this season.

[FondestMemory]

i disagree.

preparation comes into play big time there. the 'shit' teams are planning every week like it's gonna be their super bowl. their opponent's generally aren't putting the same amount of time into preparing for them because they're a 'shit' team, so they're being overlooked.

when you put bust ass against half ass, the 'shit' teams are gonna look a lot better than they actually are.

sure, it goes to say a lot about preparation and focus. but if you come out of those games with a win, it also says a lot about talent and determination.

when the playoff teams come around, you'll see a completely different dolphins team.

its so hard to watch blown coverages over and over and over again, i get nervous on the inside every time an opposing quarterback airs out a pass now. it used to only be peyton manning who could make me feel like that when im watching a game, but now its like fucking ryan fitzpatrick, and with good reason too.

i think brian williams is overrated and not worth his starting position, ive thought that for awhile. he lacks height and simply does not have the speed or athleticism to make up for it, i mean if you're fabian washington thats one thing, but without that kind of raw talent unless you're one of the smartest defenders in the league you won't cut it. however reggie nelson has been great, espeically considering such a short tenure, and his poor performance against tennessee was strikingly unnerving.

i mean, rashean is still all over the place though, im glad we still can hold on to ONE shutdown corner.
