COUGHCOUGHWEEK13*

[The Robfather]

Sean Payton again gets cute with his play calling and gives the fucking ball back to the Bucs!

 

Run it up the gut, worst comes to worst, punt the damn ball.

 

Bah!

[Guest Pizza Hut's Game Face]

Why did Olin Kreutz get a huge extension? Was Jerry Angelo scared that he'd punch him in the face and break his jaw like he did to Fred Miller?

[bob_barron]

Why couldnt the Bucs just make my life easier and kick the fg?

[Hawk 34]

Quite the finish in Arizona.

[bob_barron]

Well damn. I agree with Robfather, Reggie always seems to fumble in these situations, just running it to Stecker and Bush and running down the clock would've made a lot more sense

[JHawk]

So here's how the Browns-Cards game will end.

 

With the game tied at 56, Rackers will attempt a 64-yard field goal with one second left on the clock. The ball will carom off the roof of the stadium, bounce off the crossbar, and land in the hands of Josh Cribbs. Cribbs will run 108-yards for an apparent touchdown, but will fumble through the back of the endzone. The ball will hit the back pylon and land in the hands of Cardinals cornerback Antrell Rolle, who will run 110 yards for a touchdown, then perform a triple lutz in the end zone. The referees will spend 20 minutes debating about whether they are allowed to debate about the play, declare a tie, then go out for beers.

Holy fuck, I was joking and almost called it!

[CanadianChris]

How are the Giants going to screw up a sure thing here?

[The Robfather]

As a Saints fan, I am disgusted right now.

[Guest RyechnaiaSobaka]

I think if a receiver catches a ball and gets one foot in bounds, and then gets shoved/knocked/forced out of bounds, that should count as being shoved out of bounds and make the catch a completion.

 

But then again, we are talking about the Browns, the team against whom referees decided (temporarily, thank God) that a field goal that goes through the uprights and over the crossbar can somehow not be good.

[CanadianChris]

It's terrible that force-outs can't be reviewed. I saw that in real time, and I thought they would call a force-out for sure.

[CanadianChris]

Why does fox have the red line on the field? Do they really think Lovie's going to try a field goal and onside kick?

[snuffbox]

Giants won!

[Guest Pizza Hut's Game Face]

And now we get to start Kyle Orton again. Lovely.

[snuffbox]

I wouldn't mind the Giants making the playoffs if they have to play Green Bay.

[Guest Pizza Hut's Game Face]

I've never seen a home team have so many false starts. Pathetic.

[Guest Vitamin X]

I wouldn't mind the Giants making the playoffs if they have to play Green Bay.

Yeah, Week 2 was pretty awesome. It would be even better at Lambeau in January.

[Guest Tzar Lysergic]

It's awfully telling that Rex's first instinct when the pocket collapses is to run away for ten yards and get dragged another three.

 

Start Orton.

[Guest Pizza Hut's Game Face]

That would make sense, but Lovie will just say "Rex is our quarterback" and "we're looking to go 9 and 7 now" and then lie about a bunch of things, and Orton will never play another down. Maybe they'll even announce Rex's one-year extension just to really piss me off.

[The Niggardly King]

So, it just took one week to feel the same about Rex again.

[Guest Tzar Lysergic]

My outright bilious hatred of Rex Grossman has been the same since the Superbowl.

[Guest Pizza Hut's Game Face]

Kotz told me that the Panthers are so organizationally inept that there's a very good chance that Rex lands down there. I can totally see that, too, but all we hear is "the players love Rex, the coaches love Rex" but REX SUCKS.

[The Niggardly King]

Rex is gonna win a Super Bowl the same way Trent Dilfer did in 7 or 8 years.

[Brett Favre]

Rex didn't play horribly. If his receivers knew how to catch, he might have looked better.

[Guest Pizza Hut's Game Face]

Rex is gonna win a Super Bowl the same way Trent Dilfer did in 7 or 8 years.

Maybe, but he already lost one playing like Trent Dilfer.

[Guest Tzar Lysergic]

Oh man, that'd be glorious. Offload that fucker on that crapass division to a team I don't care about.

 

He can't end up in Chicago next season. CAN'T.

 

The worst thing an NFL QB can possibly be is inconsistent, and that word defines Grossman's career.

[The Niggardly King]

I thought a consistent turd was worse than an inconsistent meathead?

[Your Paragon of Virtue]

Who is this guy that does the recapping on SNF in America? That guy is horrible. Horrible doesn't do it justice, this guy is probably the worst recap guy I've ever seen/heard. That's not hyperbole. I really like the three man analyst team though.

[Guest Pizza Hut's Game Face]

Olbermann! "I denounce you, Mister Bush, I denounce you!" on the weeknights, "BOOYAH!" on Sundays!

[Your Paragon of Virtue]

That's Keith Olbermann?! Jesus, you'd think they would have learned from the Rush Limbaugh debacle. Just because someone doesn't know about politics, doesn't mean that they will necessarily know a thing or two about sports.

[The Niggardly King]

Olbermann has a nice speaking voice... his shtick is shit.
