Was a bit nervous following the TB/Packers game on the score boards, but had a great time at the Raiders/Vikings game, second row seats! :awe:

I had to laugh at the announcer going ape shit when the bears fake punt failed. He was going on and on about how it was so stupid they tried it because now the chargers "had a chance". IIRC there was less than 2 minutes left and the chargers were down 11. How they were going to score twice with 2 pt conversion in that time period, when they had just blown their last TWO time outs on a single challenge was beyond me. There was next to zero risk that trick play was going to lose the game for the bears, even if the punter threw an interception that was run back for a TD.
 
After how their season has gone so far this year I predict the Ravens will thump the 49ers next week, but then lose to the Browns or the Colts. Or both :-/
 
Some knuckleheads are saying that Jamarcus Russell is available. lol

Well, the Bears have done it before. They did it with Kyle Orton throwing nothing longer than 10 yards a few years ago, and the name Steve Fuller comes to mind. Please Caleb Hanie - be Steve Fuller.

I still think Garrard should be approached in case Hanie doesn't have it. You have to cover your bases. It would be a good showcase for Garrard as well as he looks for a new contract next season.

He's out for the season - this was established with the Raiders. He had surgery on a herniated disk or something.
 
Haine stepped in for Cutler for the NFC championship and did admirably. He looked poised and decisive and damn near lead them to a comeback. The difference between him and Todd Collins is like...well the difference between Peyton and Kerry Collins. 😀

But it's not River's fault - outside of VJ, he hasn't had anyone consistent around him.

That may be true, but his decision making has been weak.

I don't think it's decision-making--he has had a shitty O-Line and his normal wheel house: A healthy and dependable Gates and an HB that can catch (emphasis on catch) short passes and make something happen, have not been there all year.

BUT, he has been off this year. Way off. These things don't explain his tendency to overthrow or underthrow his receivers and bumble snaps

Yeah, okay. Just looked it up. Live and dead ball are considered part of the same play according to one of those Mike Pereira things. A 15 yard penalty supercedes a 5 yard but that wasn't the case here.



Caught a 50 yard bomb starting from the Eagles' 2 yard line so it was a huge play. He tossed the ball at the Giants' D coordinator and did some light taunting on their sidelines. Got called for taunting + Giants' penalty meant that it got called back.

Pretty crazy how that works. Essentially the Giants committing a penalty helped them and hurt the Eagles because if the hadn't, they would have just subtracted 15 yards from the end of the play and it still would have been a 35-yard gain.

Makes you wonder, what happens if a receiver gets flagged with a dead ball penalty after a touchdown reception (meaning the penalty yards are added to the kickoff instead of negating the TD)? If a team on the defense notices a flag for unsportsmanlike conduct, taunting, etc., they could just commit their own penalty by, say, pushing another player to the ground or whatever. Penalties offset, TD is negated.

I hope the NFL takes a look at this rule. Either enforce both penalties (in last night's game, this would result in a 50 yard reception + 5 yards - 15 yards = 40 yards net) or always enforce dead ball fouls after the end of the play and don't allow them to offset (unless perhaps both teams commit a dead ball foul).
