jimmy no nose 0 Report post Posted October 5, 2008 Willie Parker (who is inactive for today's game) told reporters that the plan for the Steelers offense today is to rely heavily on the no huddle formation. You're probably not supposed to mention that publicly before the game, especially when you're not playing. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jimmy no nose 0 Report post Posted October 5, 2008 Ridiculous call in the Redskins-Eagles game just now. DeSean Jackson returned a punt for a TD, but there was a flag down. The refs take forever discussing it, then pick up the flag saying that there was a block in the back by #50 on the kicking team. Fox shows the replay and #50 of the kicking team clearly gets nailed in the back by #50 of the return team and a flag comes flying in right away. Not sure how they blow that call.

MFer 0 Report post Posted October 5, 2008 Well, at least the Lions are only down 10 at this point instead of the standard 21. Still too many missed plays and dumb penalties. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Tzar Lysergic Report post Posted October 5, 2008 Colts are knotted up at 10 in Houston. Texans caught a couple breaks on the last drive. the Houston corner made a really sharp play on a slightly underthrown ball to bust up a sure Reggie Wayne TD catch, then Vinatieri pulled a FG left.

Kinetic 0 Report post Posted October 5, 2008 The player with the unfortunate nickname of "Matty Ice" is tearing up Green Bay's secondary. So I guess Atlanta is the feel-good story this year? I know that despite my proximity to the area and the fact that they're a division rival, I can't hate them. It's odd that the two teams I "feel good" about this year in pro and college football (Atlanta and Vandy) are two teams that I should probably despise but don't.

Guest Tzar Lysergic Report post Posted October 5, 2008 The Colts defense is shameful. No balls with Sanders out. Driving with seconds left in the half, Manning throws a pick. Suuuuuuuuuuuck. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kahran Ramsus 0 Report post Posted October 5, 2008 A defence can only have so many hospital visits before it starts taking its toll and we are seeing that now with Green Bay. That and no running game. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kinetic 0 Report post Posted October 5, 2008 The Packers have a field goal nullified by a holding penalty and then miss the follow-up try. D'oh! Kahran is right on with the no running game thing, too. Good thing the Packers gave Ryan Grant all that money. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Tzar Lysergic Report post Posted October 5, 2008 YES YES YES! Colts are still alive. Rosenfels tried some goofy rollout shit, gets flipped up in the air, hit twice and spun like a top, fumbles, and Gary Brackett scooped it up and ran it back 70 yards for a score. Indy down three looking for another defensive stop. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
