Week 15 NFL Gameday Thread

[preppyak]

Didn't see one made yet...but this silliness with the Cowboys is reaching epicly stupid levels

[anamericangod]

Can't believe I'm actually rooting for the Jets today.

[LeftWideOpen]

from Deadspin:

q4xSSSH0x1c&eurl=http://deadspin.com/5109218/ed-werder-gets-owned&feature=player_embedded


and go Pats, Bills and 49ers.

[LeftWideOpen]

Can't believe I'm actually rooting for the Jets today.

you arent that guy who roots for his team to lose so that they get a better draft pick, are you?

[more heart]

Didn't see one made yet...but this silliness with the Cowboys is reaching epicly stupid levels



ageed.

go giants!

[anamericangod]

you arent that guy who roots for his team to lose so that they get a better draft pick, are you?

No, I'm the guy who roots for them to get embarrassed as much as possible so the brain dead owner might possibly feel some shred of emotion that would inspire him to fire the fucking joke of a head coach that is Dick Jauron.

[LeftWideOpen]

No, I'm the guy who roots for them to get embarrassed as much as possible so the brain dead owner might possibly feel some shred of emotion that would inspire him to fire the fucking joke of a head coach that is Dick Jauron.

coming from someone who lived through Pete Carroll, I can respect that.

[CarlosLunes]

Lets Go Giants!!!

[LeftWideOpen]

No, I'm the guy who roots for them to get embarrassed as much as possible so the brain dead owner might possibly feel some shred of emotion that would inspire him to fire the fucking joke of a head coach that is Dick Jauron.

and this is a timely report:

NFL Network's Adam Schefter stands by his report that the Bills signed Dick Jauron to an extension through 2011 back in October.

[LeftWideOpen]

Jared Allen is a walking Human Growth Hormone, wow.

his head is massive.

[Chris M.]

ugh...I hate rooting for Matt Ryan and the Falcons to lose, but the Bears need all the help they can get at this point. I need Arizona to pull out a win as well.

[splitsecond]

Not gonna lie, nothing would make me happier than getting the 'boys in AZ for the first round to help them continue their streak of playoff losses.

[chcougar1]

Damn you Fox....anyone else in the Seattle area have a ridiculously shitty feed for the Hawks game?

[PepsiOne]

Beautiful fucking catch, David Martin.

[chcougar1]

ah....now the standard def channel is working...HD off air apparently.

EDIT: ok better haha...now I get to watch the Hawks lose to the Rams?:(

[Scott Weber]

starting Washington D against Cincy because of the matchup is not looking good.

and yes, the fox feed is unwatchable in seattle right now. probably because of the snow.

[anamericangod]

and this is a timely report:

NFL Network's Adam Schefter stands by his report that the Bills signed Dick Jauron to an extension through 2011 back in October.

Fuck my life.

[J.C.]

That run by Lynch earlier was awesome.

Jets with 2 touches in their first two possessions. 14-3.

[cahrishurr]

Not gonna lie, nothing would make me happier than getting the 'boys in AZ for the first round to help them continue their streak of playoff losses.

I could die a happy man if that happened.

[RamInGoreville]

I swear to god if the Skins lose to Cincinnati...

[preppyak]

apparently the Skins want the month of January off...getting it taken to them early.

Do note, the Bengals had a 25yd gain called back just before they proceeded to go 90+yds in 3 plays

[MyWorldEntire]

Let's go Giants, Bucs, and especially Kurt Warner and the Cardinals!

[crit]

Is stattracker not working for anyone else? It loads just fine but it doesn't update at all...

[Scott Weber]

Yeah it's down. I've been mashing F5 every 10 seconds.

[Chris M.]

Why has Larry Johnson thrown 2 passes for KC today and one for a TD? Are they using him out of the wildcat with a run/pass option?

[MyWorldEntire]

Larry Johnson has already completed two passes in the first half.

[Chris M.]

..ok. Now NFL Gamecenter says he's thrown just 1 pass when earlier it said he had thrown 3 and then said he had thrown 2.

[Scott Weber]

i am getting the fuck kicked out of me by andre johnson and michael turner by a god damn 5 seed in my main league. 2nd year in a row it looks like i'll be upset as the 1 seed by a 5 seed. anything can happen but I'm pissed.

[J.C.]

Bless you, Barth.

[J.C.]

..ok. Now NFL Gamecenter says he's thrown just 1 pass when earlier it said he had thrown 3 and then said he had thrown 2.

Yeah, he only threw the one to Gonzalez.

[S9Dallasoz]

beast mode.

[anamericangod]

It is making me furious seeing the Bills do things well. Really guys? Now when the games are meaningless you decide to go with some aggressive play calling and play with some passion?

Give me a fucking break.

[preppyak]

Jets-Bills turning out to be a high scoring affair...Leon Washington in

[J.C.]

Leon needs more touches. Many more.

[chcougar1]

Fuck Holmgren. NOW you throw a challenge flag on an obvious fumble? Not last week against the Patriots when you needed that first down.

I'm glad to see Mike go...I hope Hass goes with him.

[Chris M.]

(2:00) (Shotgun) A.Rodgers pass short right to J.Jones pushed ob at GB 10 for -40 yards (R.Nelson). (Under Review)

wut?

[chcougar1]

hahahahah oh my god. What a pathetic piece of shit excuse for a game. These teams suck.

[J.C.]

Calvin. :-)

I needed that.

[Scott Weber]

Fuck Holmgren. NOW you throw a challenge flag on an obvious fumble? Not last week against the Patriots when you needed that first down.

I'm glad to see Mike go...I hope Hass goes with him.
why the hell would you want Hasselbeck gone? this isn't his fault.

[c_rob2700]

Oh i do hope the Lions beat Indy today

[c_rob2700]

Nevermind, Manning to Clark TD

[chcougar1]

why the hell would you want Hasselbeck gone? this isn't his fault.

I know it isn't his fault, but I seriously don't think he is a good enough QB. He makes stupid decisions a lot of the time (yes I know that is mostly the O-lines fault) and I think we need to start looking elsewhere in terms of a QB.

At least Seneca is able to take off running if he gets into trouble and doesnt force a pass for an interception like Matt does a lot of the time.

I dunno I guess I'm kinda on the fence about Matt, but I haven't been happy with him for the past couple of years......but then again...most of it probably is because the rest of the offense isnt very strong

[crit]

Dallas Clark!!

[c_rob2700]

I just think the Seahawks need to completely rebuild after this year

[livethesounds]

it's funny that we can play that bad and only be down 4 at the half.

also, Justin McCarins is the biggest piece of shit receiver in the league.

[Scott Weber]

I know it isn't his fault, but I seriously don't think he is a good enough QB. He makes stupid decisions a lot of the time (yes I know that is mostly the O-lines fault) and I think we need to start looking elsewhere in terms of a QB.

you're fucking retarded. it might be time to groom somebody else, but it's not time to completely cut ties with matt. he was great last year when we were healthy and had receivers. this is NOT his fault. he's an excellent QB.

[startBBtoday]

yeah, hasselbeck is definitely not the problem in seattle, and even more so, seneca wallace is not the solution. the seahawks or seneca, whoever has made the decision to keep him at quarterback and not in a slash type position has wasted like, 5 years of that dude's career.

still, it's probably about time for the seahawks to use a second or third round pick on a quarterback.

[c_rob2700]

Seahawks should draft a rookie QB and start planning for the future, but Hasselback should still start for the next couple seasons.


EDIT: Pretty much what Scott said.

[Scott Weber]

i'd like to see seattle take chase daniels in the 2nd round or maybe even take a shot on tim tebow in the 4th round.

[startBBtoday]

i'd like to see seattle take chase daniels in the 2nd round or maybe even take a shot on tim tebow in the 4th round.

i don't think chase is being projected as a second rounder, is he?

[J.C.]

i'd like to see seattle take chase daniels in the 2nd round or maybe even take a shot on tim tebow in the 4th round.

A little light on the sarcasm there. ;-)

[J.C.]

i don't think chase is being projected as a second rounder, is he?

I assume Scott was kidding. He wouldn't have gotten Chase's last name wrong.

[chcougar1]

yeah. I know we need to keep Hass for the next year or two I'm just really pissed off this year. It is irritating to watch Matt let the play clock run down cuz he can't get the fucking offense setup and then waste a fucking time out (pretty much at least once per game)...and don't give me the "he called an audible because the defense looked scary" bullshit because when he actually does get the audible play off it generally fails miserably.

Sorry I will shut up. I'm just bitter. I know Matt CAN be a good QB and hopefully he can be healthy next year and we can turn it around.

[startBBtoday]

I assume Scott was kidding. He wouldn't have gotten Chase's last name wrong.

what the hell are you talking about?

[J.C.]

It's Daniel, not Daniels.

[startBBtoday]

It's Daniel, not Daniels.

i guess i hope he was kidding cause chase daniel is not a projected 2nd rounder at all, but i also don't think it's out of the question to think tebow will be a 4th rounder.

[Scott Weber]

slipped up the last name, excuse me for adding the s.

he is projected to be a 2nd rounder.

and please do shut up chcougar.

[Scott Weber]

i guess i hope he was kidding cause chase daniel is not a projected 2nd rounder at all, but i also don't think it's out of the question to think tebow will be a 4th rounder.
http://www.draftcountdown.com/sub/Mock-Draft-A.php

do you see him in the first round? I've seen him projected 2nd round just about everywhere.

[startBBtoday]

slipped up the last name, excuse me for adding the s.

he is projected to be a 2nd rounder.

and please do shut up chcougar.

where?

[livethesounds]

looks like another 8 fg day for Rob Bironas against the texans.

[chcougar1]

slipped up the last name, excuse me for adding the s.

he is projected to be a 2nd rounder.

and please do shut up chcougar.

haha. will do dude.

[Scott Weber]

where?
jeez, looks like his stock has slipped a ridiculous amount since the beginning of the season. now i'm seeing 5th round. wild.

[startBBtoday]

i'm not trying to be a dick about chase daniel, but even out of senior quarterbacks he's in the generally ranked in the 10-15 range for qbs. he's a great college qb, but i think he's too small to be considered by teams to be a first day prospect

[Drew Beringer]

Too bad we can't play the Jaguars every week.

[startBBtoday]

jeez, looks like his stock has slipped a ridiculous amount since the beginning of the season. now i'm seeing 5th round. wild.

yeah, the hawks would be better off with harrel in the second round.

[J.C.]

Yeah, Daniel's not nearly a 2nd round pick and I don't see any way he goes before Tebow either(as crappy a pro prospect as I think Tebow is).

There's going to be slim pickings in terms of quarterbacks outside of the top guys(depending on if they come out).

[Scott Weber]

i'm not trying to be a dick about chase daniel, but even out of senior quarterbacks he's in the generally ranked in the 10-15 range for qbs. he's a great college qb, but i think he's too small to be considered by teams to be a first day prospect
i don't mind, I was wrong, I do the same to other people when they don't research before they talk. i saw him being talked about in week 1 on a hawks blog as a possible 2nd round replacement and saw him on a CBS mock draft as 2nd round. Just stuck with me.

[startBBtoday]

yeah makes sense. it'll really depend on how many underclassmen qbs leave for the draft to see how good of a qb the hawks could get. i wouldn't be too surprised if none of the jrs and sophs leave for the draft. stafford would make the most sense to leave.

[Scott Weber]

yeah. i'm highest on bradford. at this point though I think we're going to get a top 3 pick and should consider trading down if we don't want that franchise guy yet.

[startBBtoday]

yeah. i'm highest on bradford. at this point though I think we're going to get a top 3 pick and should consider trading down if we don't want that franchise guy yet.

i think if stafford comes out, then moreno would probably come out, and if moreno comes out, his draft stock will rise an insane amount. it would probably be worth it for seattle to take him with that pick.

[Scott Weber]

i think if stafford comes out, then moreno would probably come out, and if moreno comes out, his draft stock will rise an insane amount. it would probably be worth it for seattle to take him with that pick.
maybe. i'm ok with our rushing game right now. i think we can patchwork it for another year, so if a stud QB or safety is available, i'd be pro-that.

[anamericangod]

Of course there was a holding penalty on McKelvin's 102 yard TD return.

Of course.

[kshtoinks12]

hahahah jets are so lucky I love it.

[Drew Beringer]

lol Calvin Johnson is amazing

[J.C.]

lol Calvin Johnson is amazing

I met him and Patrick Willis a few years ago. I was giddy as a school girl.

[c_rob2700]

Can someone explain to me why the scouts don't think Tebow will be a good pro QB? Is it strength of arm?

[Drew Beringer]

McCarthy is dumb.

[c_rob2700]

Detroit scores! tied at 21.

holy lol

[Drew Beringer]

lol LIONS

[J.C.]

Can someone explain to me why the scouts don't think Tebow will be a good pro QB? Is it strength of arm?

Ever see him throw a football? He still hasn't mastered the spiral.

[c_rob2700]

Ever see him throw a football? He still hasn't mastered the spiral.
That's what i figured but i still think he could be good.
but i'm no NFL scout

[MyWorldEntire]

Haha and of course I started the Colts defense.

[c_rob2700]

I'm sure no one thought this game would be remotely close

[Drew Beringer]

Packers are the worst.

[c_rob2700]

Try being a Rams fan

[Scott Weber]

Try being a Rams fan
more like a seahawks fan. or lions or bengals.

[J.C.]

The Bills just willed Jackson into the end zone.

Glad to see Orlovsky playing well. Husky pride!

[crit]

The Jets just could not bring Jackson down and he's in for the touchdown. I hope the Bills hold onto this lead.

[crit]

Colts go back ahead. Touchdown Dominic Rhodes.

[crit]

Ughhh Jets defensive touchdown with just under 2 minutes to go.

[J.C.]

hahahahahahah @ Losman.

Coughs it up and the Jets run it in for the go-ahead score.

[Scott Weber]

this is definitely the most dead the gameday thread has ever been.

[Drew Beringer]

5 minutes left, Packers up by 2, time to watch the defense lose the game again for the third straight week.

[deadstar]

What the fuck are the Bills doing?

[c_rob2700]

hahahahahahah @ Losman.

Coughs it up and the Jets run it in for the go-ahead score.
Jeez man you got teams all over the country, haha

[+thecalisonme]

full blown aids thats what theyre doing

[deadstar]

this is definitely the most dead the gameday thread has ever been.
I like it a lot better this way than when its gowaitinthecar spewing ridiculous shit.

[Drew Beringer]

two plays and the Jags are already in FG range hahaha

[Scott Weber]

I like it a lot better this way than when its gowaitinthecar spewing ridiculous shit.
my dad says mike tomlin is an n word. but he's just kidding!

[Drew Beringer]

lolllll

[deadstar]

my dad says mike tomlin is an n word. but he's just kidding!
hahaha great line

[crit]

Losman picked, just wonderful.

[KidRobot]

And the Bills choke that away hardcore.

[Drew Beringer]

Jags at the one yard line with 2 minutes left, we've seen this story before.

[J.C.]

Porter with the sack to clinch it. Phins should hang on.

[anamericangod]

lol JP Losman

Some things never change.

[Drew Beringer]

Jags take a 4 point lead with 1:56 to play. ugh

[KidRobot]

I'll cry if the Bills win this.

[deadstar]

The funny part is the Jets are doing everything to lose this game. Watch Losman drive here and win it.

[S9Dallasoz]

The funny part is the Jets are doing everything to lose this game. Watch Losman drive here and win it.

srsly at that 4th down run? like really. come on

[J.C.]

Harris dropped a gimme INT.

[anamericangod]

Buffalo Bills message board completely crashed at the moment lol.

[S9Dallasoz]

& come on Falcons, gotta win this game.

[deadstar]

I feel like I could make better decisions than JP Losman. Why is he even bothering to pass to a guy for 3 yards over the middle with 33 seconds left, no timeouts, and down 4.

[rcrook]

Chargers never win in KC in December

[J.C.]

Losman just threw the ball backwards on that spike. I've never understood why that's not ruled a fumble.

[Scott Weber]

ahhhh, do I start mewelde moore, willie parker, or tashard choice? i need a fucking home run. so whoever has the most upside. i am kind of thinking choice.

[crit]

Oh well, Jets win. Dolphins won too. Let's go Pats.

[deadstar]

Way too tough of a decision. I'd say choice. It really is a toss up.

[Scott Weber]

wow. seattle is going to win.

[S9Dallasoz]

<3 bonus coverage.

[c_rob2700]

whoa! Colts fumble?


EDIT: Recovered

[Drew Beringer]

Rodgers interception, Packers lose again.

[Scott Weber]

hawks win. at least we're not the worst team in the division. there goes a top 3 pick though.

[c_rob2700]

well, at least we get a top 5 pick (again)

[Drew Beringer]

Well, at least the Packers will get a decent first round pick that Ted Thompson will fuck up again.

[DaveFeelsRight]

lets go cardinals

[c_rob2700]

I think Rams should go QB for the draft, but considering we signed Bulger to the biggest QB contract in franchise history before the season, that doesn't look likely

[J.C.]

Falcons got lucky. Nice play call on 3rd down though.

[crit]

Bengals 20 Redskins 13, it's a final!

[deadstar]

And Tennessee with a major boneheaded decision. 49 yarder for rob bironas? Nah lets go for it on 4th and 2 and throw it 25 yards downfield for an incomplete pass. Now Tennessee is down 1 still.

[S9Dallasoz]

How 'bout dem Texans?

[pand75]

That was dumb as hell by the Titans

[S9Dallasoz]

Love Atlanta.

[c_rob2700]

Falcons win in OT

[J.C.]

Elam connects in OT. Falcons win.

[kofiadrian]

there goes the eagles playoff chances.

[DaveFeelsRight]

oh fuck berrian

[J.C.]

7-0 Minny after a Berrian punt return.

[deadstar]

I'm still wondering what Tennessee was thinking. Its like he thought it was a videogame.

[pand75]

it sure looks like the Chargers got this onside kick

[KidRobot]

Home teams 7-1 so far this week. With KC winning as well.

[c_rob2700]

"this iz how we do"
- Joey Porter

[pand75]

Home teams 7-1 so far this week. With KC winning as well.
Hey, it's not over yet in KC

[c_rob2700]

LT isn't LT this year

[crit]

Yahoo is a complete failure today, now box scores and player profiles won't even load.

[preppyak]

Well, at least the Packers will get a decent first round pick that Ted Thompson will fuck up again.
And they get a better pick when the Jets make the playoffs...is that a win-win?

:shrug:
That was dumb as hell by the Titans
Yeah...when it was a 56yarder, ok, go for it...but a 49 yarder with a kicker that had alreay hit a 51 in the game...and has nailed a 60 yarder to win a game before...down 1...just wow. Especially calling a pass with a QB who had completed about 40% to that point...over a kicker who was 100%

Jeff Fisher wanted to lose that game essentially

[KidRobot]

Hey, it's not over yet in KC

I know. I was just saying.

[livethesounds]

christ what a horrible game for the titans. in every aspect (besides Bironas who was amazing and should have won it for them). I'm sooooo glad i didn't end up going to this game. i would have gotten in so many fights.

[pand75]

V-Jackson!

[Scott Weber]

chargers score!!! looks like game!

[crit]

Touchdown Chargers, they're gonna win this haha

[c_rob2700]

i will not watch ESPN after this season's over because they will analyze the fact that Favre did better than Rogers a million fucking times

[Drew Beringer]

And they get a better pick when the Jets make the playoffs...is that a win-win?

It's a lose-lose because Ted Thompson is making the picks. haha, he has made some good picks but all his first round picks have been busts.

[crit]

Touchdown Cassel to Faulk, Welker with a great block on the play.

[J.C.]

lol @ my Chiefs

[Drew Beringer]

i will not watch ESPN after this season's over because they will analyze the fact that Favre did better than Rogers a million fucking times
eh, a lot of the Packer "fans" are already criticizing Rodgers. It is not his fault. He has played 14 games! In his career! He has really good stats. The offense is averaging the same amount of points as last year's team. It's the defense and the horrible coaches.

[preppyak]

i will not watch ESPN after this season's over because they will analyze the fact that Favre did better than Rogers a million fucking times
I gotta say, they have brought it up surprisingly little during the season (Cowboys and TO drive better ratings though, I bet)...but you are right that the weeks before the draft, and also, the deeper the Jets go in the playoffs (assuming they get in), the more it risks being a story again

[c_rob2700]

I actually feel sorry for Lions fans

[pand75]

NO GOOD IN KC!

x

[crit]

Chiefs missed a field goal, game.

[preppyak]

And I never thought I'd say this...but thank god its NBC covering the Cowboys game tonight and not ESPN...because the Cowboys off-field troubles will be covered by Madden, but not drilled into our skulls like Tony K would have...especially if Ed Werder was on the sidelines (and you know he would be)

[J.C.]

Barth misses a 50 yarder as time expires. Bolts win.

[crit]

Tarvaris to Berrian 41 yard touchdown.

Vikes 14 Cards 0

:-0

[rcrook]

hahahahahahahhahahaha how the fuck did we win that? we are so terrible that delay of game on our defense to set up their FG was hilarious. our player was lying on the ball so the refs couldnt spot it and then our linemen pushed over the ref so he couldn't spot it. this team is comical the fact that we are still alive with a broncos loss this afternoon is hilarious.

[c_rob2700]

yeah i know what you mean, i wouldn't be angry if i was a Packer fan. I think Rodgers definetly has a bright future. I just meant ESPN will milk the story to death.

I gotta say, they have brought it up surprisingly little during the season (Cowboys and TO drive better ratings though, I bet)...but you are right that the weeks before the draft, and also, the deeper the Jets go in the playoffs (assuming they get in), the more it risks being a story again
I couldn't even stand to watch SC this week because the whole show was all about the TO/Romo drama that no one really cares about.

[Drew Beringer]

I don't watch ESPN regardless unless a game is on. I cannot tolerate their reporting.

[DaveFeelsRight]

fuck come on cardinals

[crit]

Touchdown Randy!

[c_rob2700]

I usually tune in to PTI, and sometimes the highlight portion of SportsCenter. But other than that i can't stand it

[deadstar]

I wish the Steelers actually had a punter. With the way this team is set up, the punter is actually pretty important.

[DaveFeelsRight]

I usually tune in to PTI, and sometimes the highlight portion of SportsCenter. But other than that i can't stand iti like PTI. around the horn is terrible cause jay mariotti is allowed to speak.

[c_rob2700]

i like PTI. around the horn is terrible cause jay mariotti is allowed to speak.
Agreed, i'd hate to have him as my local sports columnist.

Although Bloomington has the worst sports page in the world. Day after one of the greatest Superbowls in history and our headline literally was "IU Football, Preparing for Next Year"

[crit]

Three straight 3 and outs for the Raiders. Jamarcus isn't even close so far.

[DaveFeelsRight]

hey cardinals, go fuck yourself

[crit]

Tarvaris Jackson with another TD throw???? 21-0. Bizzaro world!

[c_rob2700]

Cardinals could get in to the playoffs with a 7-9 record; awful division

[deadstar]

This might be the worst week ever for betting on NFL games as far as favorites go.

[DaveFeelsRight]

they already won the division.

and warner looks awful today

[Chris M.]

Cardinals could get in to the playoffs with a 7-9 record; awful division

Except they already have 8 wins.

[c_rob2700]

Except they already have 8 wins.
Wasn't being serious

[crit]

Oh Oakland, you are so terrible. 21-0 Patriots

[c_rob2700]

The only way the Raiders will ever get better is if Al Davis dies

[MyWorldEntire]

Yes! Now Warner go do some work!

[deadstar]

Seemed like the Steelers came up short there. Just is so hard to challenge a ballspot on plays like that.

[xbrokendownx]

thanks for nothing buffalo...jauron should be fired on the spot after that abortion of a playcall

at least the dolphins D played big when it counted

[derian2219]

How did the Steelers get that first down and how did that call get overturned?


T.O is a whiny bitch.

[crit]

Welker's 100th catch of the year = his second TD of the year.

[preppyak]

How did the Steelers get that first down and how did that call get overturned?
Seemed like the Steelers came up short there. Just is so hard to challenge a ballspot on plays like that.
This. And I'd say it just makes up for the no-call Pass Interference on Washington earlier...where he was damn near pulled to the ground

[derian2219]

Oh well, not like my team has a shot at the playoffs for the next 5 years. Damn Lions.

[crit]

Annnnd Justin Miller returns the kickoff for a touchdown.

[SwiftSilentDead]

What the fuck was the ref looking at on that challenged first down? There was no fucking way that Russell crossed the 30 yard line. Ugh. At least they only got a field goal out of it.

[crit]

Hahaha and now Ellis Hobbs returns the ensuing kickoff for a touchdown! 35-14 Pats.

[chcougar1]

Hahaha and now Ellis Hobbs returns the ensuing kickoff for a touchdown! 35-14 Pats.

haha no kidding. Poor Raiders.

I'm glad I started Cassell today!

Actually my fantasy team is really killing it over the last 8 weeks or so!:)

He didn't need to cross the 30...only needed the very slightest tip of the ball to touch the 30, and despite some of the terrible camera angles CBS chose, he got pretty close. It was marked at the 29 and 3/4's basically, and they didn't even bother to measure if it was a 1st...so, I'd say for the ref to overturn it, he'd have have to seen it a good 1/2 yard or so further back than it was placed to go back and re-spot

[MyWorldEntire]

Cardinals defense is pathetic.

Haha I was actually wondering the same thing about the camera angles. They had one at a bad angle behind the line, and one at a bad angle yards ahead of the line, yet none on the first down marker.

Warner comes out flying for the second half. 3/3 for 73 yards including a 50 yarder to Urban.

[MyWorldEntire]

Alright just three more touchdown passes Warner, and I'll have a chance.

[crit]

Another TD for Moss!

[Scott Weber]

Another TD for Moss!
keeper league disaster. jesus fucking christ, i cannot catch a break in my fantasy leagues this week. and just when I was creeping back into the pay league...moss puts me to bed again.

[deadstar]

Its like Ben stares at the blitzer and freezes up sometimes. I know hes hurting, but his elusiveness has been almost nonexistent much of the season.

[J.C.]

oh, Santonio.

[deadstar]

2 drops and an a fumble for Holmes. Way to step up big.

[MyWorldEntire]

Cardinals are back in it.

[SwiftSilentDead]

Ravens need to get the damn ball in the endzone sooner or later.

[DaveFeelsRight]

lets go cardinals

:clap clap clap:

[deadstar]

I feel like Ben is not doing himself or the offense in general any favors by snapping the ball continuously with less than 3 seconds left. We NEED to go no huddle.

[Drew Beringer]

Lions will probably beat the Packers last game of the year.

[DaveFeelsRight]

fucking bobby wade. fuck you ex-bear

[MyWorldEntire]

Cards are one and done come playoff time.

[deadstar]

Seriously, just get Holmes off the field. What is this? His rookie year again?

[preppyak]

322 total yards so far in this Pittsburgh=Baltimore game...no surprise there...reminds me exactly of the game I went to (the Jeff Graham era) where we lost at Baltimore 9-6.

Ugh...awful turnover there

[deadstar]

The Steelers playcalling is just flat out terrible. I feel like I've been complaining about this all year too.

[Scott Weber]

i was high on the steelers playoff chances about 3 weeks ago, but now i'm no longer sold.

[deadstar]

Do the Steelers not have a word for Holmes to yell to signal the blockers on punts to stop blocking and get away from the ball? Seems like he's the only one who doesn't do that. He annoys me the more I watch him.

And that hit by Timmons was vicious.

[SwiftSilentDead]

Ravens force a turnover and STILL can't capitalize on it.

[preppyak]

I still like the Steelers playoff chances, especially if they can get a bye week, becuase their defense won't allow more than 10 points...and their offense/special teams can probably put up that much if they need to. Plus, they've already beaten some of the playoff teams they'd face

[Talib Scottie]

Panthers are looking great lately. It's very refreshing after the comedic David Carr campaign of 07.

[AshesAshes]

Denver ugh X-)

[rcrook]

if Ed Hochuli hadn't blown that call we'd both be 7-7 in the AFC West :shrug:

[Talib Scottie]

Here's hoping this is the Panthers team we will see next week.

[Vanilla Bear]

i'm holding my breathe here just watching weber's points creep up, haha

[MyWorldEntire]

Come on Kurt, just one more touchdown drive.

[deadstar]

I wish just once they'd call them for holding Harrison. They do it every single play. That last one was very very blatant.

[AshesAshes]

if Ed Hochuli hadn't blown that call we'd both be 7-7 in the AFC West :shrug:

Haha, oh easily plus we got a couple other calls are way. You guys should be first place, week 17 should be good though. If Denver makes the playoffs they're getting blown out of the first round.

[AshesAshes]

Big play by the Steelers D I cant believe he tried picking it up

[Talib Scottie]

Denver is such an unpredictable team. They love to get blown out by a cupcake then turn around and beat up on a playoff contender.

I was a little worried they would show up today.

[J.C.]

Stupid spike.

[LastPlaceRocks]

I wish I had been able to watch the first quarter of the Vikings game. Here's hoping that next week doesn't end up being a repeat of the last time we played the Falcons after a win over the Cardinals.

[J.C.]

That's really close.

Go for it.

[preppyak]

damn, that is just an inch outside...now that spike is a devastating play

And, on the road, this close, I think going for it may be the right move...give Russell a shot or Ben

[deadstar]

I thought he broke the plane.

/obvious steelers fan

[J.C.]

Woooooow.

[preppyak]

Touchdown!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Awesome, I guess you only have to have your feet in the endzone? Not the ball? I'd say both his feet were in the end zone when he caught it...i assumed the ball had to break the plane

[1moreandimfree]

Don't bring that shit up.

[preppyak]

I thought he broke the plane.

/obvious steelers fan
It did...but when he was catching it, he sort of resettled it, and it didn't break the plane after that...but, that's not needed for the ruling

And how the fuck did Jeff Reed get a Personal Foul?

[deadstar]

Yea that personal foul really pisses me off. Combined with the fact theres 43 seconds on the clock instead of 20. Ravens still have a chance.

[preppyak]

holy shit, what a weak call on Reed

The clock makes sense, because when he caught it, the clock would have stopped and it would have been in the 40 range.

[deadstar]

Wow. That really is unbelievable they let them play all day and make a call like that on reed which can influence the outcome of the game.

[AshesAshes]

That was a hell of a pass by Big Ben

[preppyak]

there it is...and that's the division

[preppyak]

That was a hell of a pass by Big Ben
And, for the first time all day, a GREAT catch by Holmes, keeping himself in the endzone

[deadstar]

And, for the first time all day, a GREAT catch by Holmes, keeping himself in the endzone
Haha so true.

[rcrook]

Haha, oh easily plus we got a couple other calls are way. You guys should be first place, week 17 should be good though. If Denver makes the playoffs they're getting blown out of the first round.

we still need to beat tampa and you lose to bills next week to have week 17 have any relevance. we don't deserve first place and you don't deserve first place. nobody wants to win this division.

[LastPlaceRocks]

Don't bring that shit up.
Although I do hate myself a little for bringing it up, it was that or making a comment about the last time we played the Cardinals in Arizona. Either way it was going to end bad, but nonetheless the Vikings manhandled today and put themselves in great position for the playoffs.

[SwiftSilentDead]

I fucking hate the Steelers so much. That game reminded me why I hate that team so much. Goooodddamnnniiitttt.

At least the Panthers won.

[patpratt]

vikings looked GOOD today.

[MyWorldEntire]

Bears are in really bad shape now. So is my fantasy team, I need the Cowboys defense to perform very poorly, and for TO to have a weak game as well.

[SwiftSilentDead]

That Pittsburgh loss is going to sting for awhile, especially with how questionable that touchdown call was. I guess we can settle for a wildcard and get revenge against those bastards in the playoffs.
