The Packers running game is awful. They need to get Lynch or somehow get Snelling from Atlanta for a high pick. Forget waiting for a rookie, get someone that is proven.

and game over, saints win. With 4-and foeva, the ball is almost caught on a great defensive play but even if caught would have been about 1 yard inside the FD marker.

Fuck you Nate Clements. Cost the 49ers the game trying to run back the pick and not securing the ball.
Don't blame him on that, if he hadn't intercepted the 49ers would have lost anyways. But, it was a dumb thing to do not securing the ball.

Cool, so the Titans lose, Jags are going to lose, and if the Raiders can beat the Texans, Colts will be in sole first place in the AFC South. :)

terrible coverage, denver makes a lazy toss out into the flat and uncovered RB walks all the way in.

if they don't have the doubleheader in your area they can't show coverage after 4:15.

Just found the answer on Wiki;

The NFL rules prohibit other NFL games from being shown on local television stations while a local team is playing a sold-out home game. The rules are designed to encourage ticket-holders show up at the stadium instead of watching the other game on television.

When the home team is being shown on the network with the NFL singleheader, the doubleheader station can only air one of its games. When this happens, there are only two games shown in the market. When, however, the home team is being shown on the network with the NFL doubleheader, all three games can air in the same market.

Great, so since the suck ass Raiders game is blacked out I cant watch the Eagles. Fuck you Oakland, you suck anyways.

I came here to post this bullshit situation. I am so fucking pissed off right now. I've barely been able to watch my Redskins over the previous seasons, this is maybe the 2nd chance ever, and this craphole.

I wouldn't mind watching Huston, actually, but COlts v Jax? seriously? Do I need to see another Manning-led game bore me into yet another ho-hum victory? blah.


I've lived in obnoxious blackout-for-local-team bias cities, but have never been in a situations where:
A. blackout for local team broadcast
B. local team blacked-out for team shittiness, no sales, owner is a fuckface.

I'm sure this isn't the first time such has happened, but this fucking blows. Really annoyed that local Fox station has no recourse to actually broadcast the game that everyone wants to see when there is no competing local broadcast. Fucking BS.
