Ballard is a donkey.

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:

This game is a snoozer.

 

[crashtestdummy]

I wonder if there's a record for drops without a catch (thinking Ballard here).

 

[Fingolfin269]

VY just wins baby! He's the guy Tebow has been saving himself for!!!

 

[crashtestdummy]

Ewing theory candidate with Vick being out?

That last drive was nice. Eagles Win! Not that it means anything for them.

Ps. Niners win! Fuck yeah!

Isn't beating the Cardinals kind of like beating a retarded kid at chess? Yeah, you won.. but how proud should you really be? lol

 

[umbrella39]

pretty shitty game he had

Wow, 6 interceptions in about what 20 attempts was awesome, you are totally correct considering the time the post was made. Congrats.

Cutler news.

They said surgery in the morning.

i tried watching 3 football games, and fell asleep 3 times.

But it was sure sweet sorrow for the Cowboys - it moved us into first in the NFC East division.

lol that opening toss by V Young. lol.


and god damn it: I hate you Norv Turner. I fucking hate you. SD.

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.

 

[PingSpike]

oh fuck.......

Cutler broke his thumb.

That blows, when the hell did that happen?

 

[ichy]

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 :-/

McFadden, Cassel, Greene, Tomlinson and now Cutler. "someone" on the Broncos made a deal with the devil!

 

[Krazy4Real]

Cutler! NOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

*tear*

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.

I guess that takes care of that idea.

 

[vi edit]

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.

 

[SunnyD]

We're up to 10 starting QB's this season that are either out or missing games.

He's stroking mechanics is wrong.

 

[zinfamous]

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

 

[AstroManLuca]

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).
