it's a simple ratio of how big your balls are vs how much time is left.

lol. I never got the "rubbing it in" point of view personally. Look at what Buffalo did today in the second half vs. the Raiders. Lets pretend the Raiders went for, and scored*, 2 point conversions for all of their TD's instead of PAT's.

Oakland scored 5 TD's so they would have ended up with 40 points and the win, hypothetically. But everyone would have been screaming in the first 1/2 that they are rubbing it in.


* I know 2 point conversions are not that high of %, I think the NFL as a league converted the 2 pointer a little over 1/2 the time last season.

The NE-SD game was entertaining. A little over an hour to eat and stuff until the Sunday night game featuring the "lol dream team" against the Falconer's. Go Falcons.

I agree, rubbing it in and "classless" is just what fans of losing teams say because they are upset. The offense is out there to score points and win the game, that's it. More points = more assured of a win, it's not pee-wee, nobody cares about their feelings.

Wow, Hasselbeck had a nice game. Over 350 yards and beat the Raven's. Nice to see him still relevant, and I am sure he will have a positive impact with Jake Locker.

Wow @ Cowboys winning. They were such a mess. Spots of brilliance marred by lots of incompetence.

dream team is ready to destroy some dreams son! :colbert:

That's fine, I just can't stand it when teams or players anoint themselves like this dream team business. That is the only reason I am rooting for the Falcon's, I am a *cough* Seahawks *cough* guy. :$

Really, that's the shocker so far this week after the Ravens looked so complete in last weeks domination of the Squealers..

Good game for the Cowboys considering they're still missing defensive starters along with the injuries to Bryant, Romo and Felix. But hey,

I think I'm gonna jump on the bandwagon before it leaves the station and get a Lions hat.

+1 This is the best I have seen the Lions play in DECADES. What a damn shame about Leshoure or I'd be trying hard to convince myself we actually have a shot at the playoffs this year.
