I can't wait for the Texans to come to town.....

bitter huh?

 

[lupi]

think i'll be watching till halftime to see the recaps again and then turn the route off.

 

[IndyColtsFan]

bitter huh?

They're 2-15 against the Colts and will soon be 2-16. Not bitter at all. They got lucky against the Skins today.

Dear Peyton, please stop handing the ball off and start earning me fantasy points via the pass. Thank you.

 

[MotF Bane]

Looks like the Giants would've had that.

 

[Fingolfin269]

I'm kind of surprised they're not reviewing this fumble...

I don't know what Al and Chris are thinking, but they cannot review anything except whether or not it was an actual fumble. They cannot review who came up with it.

Wow I didn't realize they couldn't review who came up with the ball at the bottom of a pile (assuming video evidence is available).

 

[Sinsear]

The giants look great tonight.

 

[SP33Demon]

24-0 rofl... I'm going to bed.

That is my understanding at least, and I could be wrong. I mean, yes, they can review who has possession of a fumble but in the case of a pile, practically speaking, there is no way you would have video evidence if it is at the bottom of a pile of guys. Let's face it, it is all about who fights harder.

So if Charlie Batch gets hurt before the end of the game, who is the emergency QB for the Steelers?

Randle El (who threw a TD pass in Superbowl XL) is usually their absolute emergency guy. Although if it comes down to it I doubt the Steelers will hurt if they just put anyone in there to only hand the ball off or perhaps just put in a RB under center and just take direct snaps for runs, lol.

Lol Vince Young has been benched for Kerry Collins. I just want you guys who root for teams that have definite starting QBs to know how freaking lucky you are.

Well the Steelers have a definite starting QB but they don't seem to need him during his suspension... I guess I'm extra lucky

The Titans may have the worst offense in the history of the NFL. And that includes the Lions of the last couple of seasons.

The Steelers were a top 5 defense statistically last season WITHOUT two of of their best defensive players (and two of the best players in the league at their position) most of the season (Troy Polamalu in the secondary and Aaron Smith on the D line)

They shut down the Falcons last week and this week all they proceeded to do was drop 41 points.

Yeah, it couldn't be that the Steelers D is good, its that Titans are bad

HAHAHA, Brady at the post game conference was priceless.

 

[MotF Bane]

HAHAHA, Brady at the post game conference was priceless.

"We sucked."

 

[IndyColtsFan]

"We sucked."

Reminded me of some of Jim Mora's press conferences:

"We sucked."

"We couldn't do diddly poo."

"We played like horseshit."

 

[vi edit]

Wow, Freeny has been in the Giants backfield more plays than Jacobs. That's not cool.

 

[Regs]

Lets not speak of this Giants game ever again.

 

[ElFenix]

jason garrett is most of the reason why the cowgirls suck, why the hell would you replace wade with him?

 

[BoomerD]

I don't think the Colts will win unless they signed some offensive linemen, some defenders, and half the Giants are out sick.

heh-heh...I'll bet you were pleasantly surprised then...IMO, not a very well played game by the NYG team. Indy's defense pwned them at every turn, and the NYG defense was very ineffective as well.

I kept expecting to see Eli start crying at any minute...
(kid has a great arm, he just didn't get many opportunities to use it...except to pick himself up off the ground)

 

[BUTCH1]

HAHAHA, Brady at the post game conference was priceless.

At least he was honest "we sucked", no cheap excuses, didn't help the officials who had a "let 'em play" attitude in the first half started giving out huge chunks of yardage to the jets on tic-tac PI calls. But we saw this sometimes last year too, Pats come out of the gate strong only to go flat as a pancake in the 2nd half, if they don't fix it might be a 8-8 year at best..

 

[foghorn67]

Very much looking forward to the 2-0 Packers vs. the 2-0 Bears next Monday. Should be a good game.

Fan of neither. But oh please let it air in my region.

 

[dmcowen674]

Giants are getting handled~

Very classy of Peyton to ignore the Media beating up on his brother.

 

[dmcowen674]

Houston, Bears, Dolphins, Chiefs all at 2-0 wow, weird start to the season.

 

[SP33Demon]

Houston, Bears, Dolphins, Chiefs all at 2-0 wow, weird start to the season.

Houston is probably the only legit contender out of the group but they should have lost to the Skins. Consider they had to

1) Convert 4th and 10 on a jump ball TD; that doesn't happen against teams with good secondaries.
2) Block their first FG, ever (Skins special teams just blow).
3) Have Skins miss a FG in OT on the 2nd try after the kicker already made it but it was negated due to a TO.

Found out this morning that my new boss is a Bears fan. My co-worker is a Vikings fan. I even work with a Bucs fan. All I need is a Lions fan and we'd have the old NFC Central.

Pack 2-0 and the Vikes 0-2. Badgers win out against Arizona State and the Brewers sweep the Padres. Incredible weekend to be a Wisconsin Sports fan.
