OFFICIAL NFL week 12 thread

[Arkaign]

Whee. Hope it tightens up a bit, Chargers are starting to run away with it.

 

[Arkaign]

Wow I don't really understand that 4th down call. Give the Chargers crazy good field position with over a quarter left and only two scores away? Why the desperation? Unless it's just to get the Charger's crazy defense off the field for a breather

 

[BoomerD]

FINALLY! An offensive TD.
33/14 San Diego

 

[jman19]

Colts are just getting straight beaten by the Chargers.

Good thing for them that the AFC South doesn't have any good teams.

 

[Arkaign]

Damn, this is just turning into a straight-up shellacking.

 

[BoomerD]

Damn, this is just turning into a straight-up shellacking.

I'm very surprised at how bad this has been.

 

[GuitarDaddy]

Damn, never seen the Colts look so bad

 

[Arkaign]

Solid running game combined with a calm quarterback and a wicked defense, add in a dash of luck with bobbled interceptions and friendly reffing, and you get a monster beat-down.

 

[Arkaign]

hah, True Grit commercial. Looks awesome.

 

[BoomerD]

I think Jeff Bridges is a terrible choice for the part of Rooster Cogburn.

No joke, the duke is rolling over in his grave

Well seeing as we have never had anybody even remotely like the duke, I think Jeff will do it well in his own particular way He really impressed in 'Crazy Heart'.

Of course that's a story for another thread

Back to the game, it's down to the boring wind down that always happens with a huge lopsided score like this. Where is IndyColtsFan btw?

I can't think of any actor who could replace John Wayne, but even without trying to "replace" him, I can't think of any current actor who could even do justice to the part.

IndyColtsFan...at the game?

 

[jman19]

Colts have 16 yds on 12 rushes? WOW

 

[BoomerD]

Colts have 16 yds on 12 rushes? WOW

Chargers defense has been tough tonight.

 

[Arkaign]

Yeah that's just insane. Holding a team to 61 yards rushing is amazing enough, but 16 yards. HOLY.

I hate seeing injuries pile up in games that are loooong over with.

 

[BoomerD]

Reggie Wayne coming out injured just adds insult to injury for the Colts.

 

[BoomerD]

Yet another interception...


I'm a Chargers fan, but I also like the Colts. This is just painful to watch.

(even though I'm somewhat gleeful to see it)

36/14 final.

 

[Arkaign]

Wow. 4th pick, helluva way to end a complete smashing. The score doesn't even tell the whole story of what a lopsided disaster that ended up being. I don't often watch AFC matchups, but wow the Chargers looked amazing tonight. Looks like they're heating up bigtime, wonder if they can get in the AFC race?

 

[jman19]

Peyton got throttled... wonder what is going on? Looked good until the last two weeks :hmm:

I think so. Just have to beat OAK @ home, and then beat KC @ home and they'll have the same record as KC (unless they lose at home against Denver next week) but better divisional which sets the team up for another AFC West title as long as they keep this pace.

Cool. I liked seeing the interview with Rivers at the end, seems like a really team-oriented guy. He spent 99% of his time praising his teammates

Well I will pull for the Chargers for a bit, looks like a fun group. Too bad for the Colts, what a beating.

He gets a bad rep because he can get fiery and sometimes his actions and words can rub people the wrong way, but watching him these past few years its just his competitive nature taking over and the guy is always complimenting his teammates and coaching staff and never lays the blame on anyone if things go bad. At the end of the day when it comes down to it I'm glad to have a guy like that as my teams QB.

It's about time. Cortland Finnegan is a troll. I do not know why he was smiling and winking to the camera after the fight. He just got his ass beat.

Hehe, awesome. Looks like Yahoo sports news agrees as well :

"TKO, Johnson.

Though it looks like Johnson started it, Finnegan was making dirty moves all game. He's late on hits, adds some extra mustard on tackles and gets in every possible hand-check before Johnson can go five yards. Finally, the Texans' receiver snapped.

There's a fine line between dirty and punk. Hines Ward(notes) is dirty. Cortland Finnegan is a punk. Watch the way he's still jawing after Johnson beat him down like Pacquiao did Margarito.

Finnegan is like the fan who yells derogatory things at players from the stands because he knows he'll never face retaliation. He pokes and prods and rips off guys' helmets, based on the assumption that the players he chooses to mess with won't take a swing at him in retaliation. It's easy to mess with Andre Johnson because Andre Johnson isn't going to fight back 99 times out of 100. On Sunday, he did.

Other than maybe a few members of the Finnegan family, I'd imagine that everyone watching that encounter was pulling for Johnson. Notice how none of the Titans who belatedly run into the fracas went after the Texans' receiver, they all went to calm down Finnegan. They had his back out of obligation, not desire.

Not that Johnson was right to fight back. He lost his cool and will pay the price, both financially and on the field. But every now and then a bully needs his comeuppance. Good for you, Andre."
