I keep looking, but all I see is the thread from last year. This has been a good afternoon so far. I just finished wrapping presents (which I hate doing) and the Eagles are crushing the Redskins. Garcia is making some very good throws and plenty of smart plays.

God, the Patriots can't tackle.

Wow, the Jaguars have two 100-yard rushers in the first half against the Colts.

Maurice Jones-Drew so far against the Colts, 17 touches (counting kick returns), 285 yards, 3 TD.

Extrapolating from today's numbers, Jones-Drew will be the greatest player of all time.

Jaguars pushing 900 yards rushing against the Colts "run defense".

Colts = won't advance in playoffs with terrible run D despite 60-1 record

Watching Jared Lorenzen warm up on the sidelines when Eli was injured for a brief moment, it looks like Lorenzen might be even more out of shape now than he was in college!

It looks like the guy from King of Queens is out there in a football uniform. I hate to be happy with any injury, but it would be very amusing to see the hefty howitzer out there for a little while.

I could be the only one .. but I enjoy Jesse Palmer as an announcer.

Wow... the Colts could lose out if they keep playing like this.

Wow... the Colts could lose out if they keep playing like this.

Tony Dungy is secretly plotting the Colts demise so he can get fired and return to Tampa Bay where they are in need of a coach that can teach really young guys how to tackle.

Jaguars pushing to 400 yards rushing.

Wow. The Pats look like absolute shit today. The way they've palyed today, the goddamm Raiders could beat them.

forget the superbowl, we'll be lucky to make the playoffs if we play like this the rest of the year

Good job Colts.. Helluva game.

Vince Young does it again. Wins it with a 20+ yard scamper to the endzone in overtime.

Bummer that I don't get to watch the Chargers pummel the Broncos today. Another 49ers game, yippee.

Damn Niners. There sorry secondary and non-existent pass rush is costing what should be a win here at home.

Bummer that I don't get to watch the Chargers pummel the Broncos today. Another 49ers game, yippee.

Holy spoke too soon, Batman. Broncos are back in it. 28-20 Chargers with a quarter to go.

marty is squinting a lot...probably trying to figure out if elway took over at QB for denver.

Alex Smith is playing like it's his rookie season still.

LT has tied Alexander.

and, there is the td record.

Anyone else celebrate when LT scored the last touchdown? I'm not even a fan of the Chargers but I just love him as a player.

Great job.

Now thats dominance. Everyone in the stadium knew LT was getting the ball, and he still scored from 7 yards out. I'd much rather have him than Sanders, I don't care what anyone says.

I don't even know why the Eagles are trying.
Just hand the ball to AJ and go for the draft pick.

Since Kearse went down the defense has been dreadful.
The Eagles choked against the Giants,Saints, and Bucs and almost gave another one up against the Skins today.

Does Arizona's win help Coach Green stay another year?

Same thing for Coach Fisher in Tennessee. Does he come back next season as the Titan's head coach?

How about the Patriots and Jets losing today? Didn't see them two happening.

I love seeing all the n00bs here since 2k7.

Just one more Eagles fan for me to rag on... :p

Wow! The Chargers just destroyed Denver. I am hoping they make it to the Super Bowl this year and actually win it this time. San Diego has no World Series or Super Bowl championship. I just hope this will finally be the year.

I've never seen a team's fans so happy to lose a game. Check out the postings on the Houston newspaper's forum after losing to the Titans.

Chargers vs Cowboys in The Big Game.

Does that work for you, Ant?

I don't see them winning, though... ;)

well it was a 20 point game and normally you'd be kneeling to run the clock out there, but...he is a great player. didn't do anything at all until the game was over in the 4th quarter, but denver always gives him problems.

SD may well get the #1 seed, but with schottenheimer coaching I'd bet that the odds of them losing the first playoff game are 50/50.

Same thing for Coach Fisher in Tennessee. Does he come back next season as the Titan's head coach?



No way Fisher gets fired in Tennessee now. The only way he leaves is if he takes a job somewhere else, like the rumor of possibly replacing Parcells if he decides to retire.

I was reading that earlier. Suffice to say the honeymoon for David Carr is over.

Right....if the Cowboys even make it past the NFC Championship game. That's right, I give them the first playoff win.

I woud much rather have Chucky as Cowboys coach than freakin' Fisher next year...

They have to keep Fisher. He has done a hell of a job coaching to the player's strengths and has developed Vince Young very nicely. Much of the same way he was able to coach Steve McNair.

Now thats dominance. Everyone in the stadium knew LT was getting the ball, and he still scored from 7 yards out. I'd much rather have him than Sanders, I don't care what anyone says.


Catching up and just saw this comment. I posted almost the same thing in the Barry thread. It was amazing how easy he made that look when Denver had to know he was getting it. Like I said in the other thread, if LT can keep this up for 4 or 5 more years, he'll be my #1 rated back for all time.

I do enjoy watching him. Like Barry, he seems very classy.

What's up with this Pink shit leading into SNF?

Disagree. We signed Garcia for a reason, and that is to be able to win if McNabb went down. Garcia is playing well enough that I think the Playoffs are a possibility. If the Eagles make the playoffs, who know what could happen in the NFC. Especially with Seattle looking shaky today and Chicago having QB issues.

That is amazing. I didn't realize there was that much hate for the Texans in Houston. Are there still people torn about the Oilers leaving and some of them converted to Texans fans? Is it because the Houston Texans chose a Defensive Lineman on their first pick? Or is it because people just generally hate the choices they have made and root against them. I was amazed to read all that. Even watching the game on TV, you can hear a lot of people rooting for Vince Young and his game winning run.

From what I've seen, both of the above.

boo

w00t, Julius!

Holy fuck, I love me some Ju!!!!

Watching the Sunday Night Game "live" without TIVO'ing through commercials, I just saw the rubber floor - Bud Light commerical. It was one of the better commercials that I've seen lately.

Wow! The Chargers just destroyed Denver. I am hoping they make it to the Super Bowl this year and actually win it this time. San Diego has no World Series or Super Bowl championship. I just hope this will finally be the year.

Don't forget about the AFL championship in '63. :D

Nice play call to tie the game

Can someone cover the fullback?

Thank you Billy Cundiff.

If we all chipped in and hired a hit man to kill John Mellencamp, wouldn't Chevy pretty much have to stop playing those goddam commercials?

Lost in the talk for Payton as coach of the year is how hes been the best offensive playcaller all year as well. Getting the chance to show his stuff on a national stage tonight though.

Wow - Unsportsman like foul on Bill Parcells. I've never seen that before.

A couple of weird unsportsmanlike calls tonight, first the one on Parcells, and then we learn its apparently unsportsmanlike to tell TO to stop whining about nonexistent interference calls.

Walking backwards and jawing at a player for 10 yards is the definition of taunting

Kill Gramatica.

Hang Grammatica

Fucking Marteen...

Yea, and you could technically say that calling for a flag like that is showing up the refs and is unsportsmanlike. Either way its just words, who gives a crap? Doesn't affect the game.

But hey, if stuff like that is all I have to worry about, Saints must be having a good night. :)

Cowboys/Falcons is on the NFL Network? :mad:

Thank god for being in DFW, Taz... :p

Fucking fuck fuck.

Wow, Al Michaels sure didn't mince words there in his assessment of the Texans' 1st round draft pick this season.

:D

That Reggie Bush guy is OK.

Reggie is so much fun to watch. Watching him do this to Dallas is that much sweeter :)

: phew:

Incredible luck...

Great pass.

Assuming his foot didn't go out (I don't think it did) that looks like a TD.

Well JeeberD, I am not sure Dallas is a SuperBowl bound team. It will probably be San Diego vs. New Orleans in the Super Bowl. :p

That "goaline goes around the world" rule is one of the lamest in sports.

Carney?

And that right there was the nail in Bill's retirement coffin.

Wow. Quite a call.

Key-Rist.

Je-sus.

Wow

Fucking dawddamn HELL!

This is a beautiful thing.

Quite a catch.

IMO the MVP race this year is between Brees and LT.

When was the last time Fred Thomas played without his hand wrapped like a mummy's? It seems like it's been years.

So the Cowboys have gone to the throw the ball as far as you can on each play gameplan. Interesting.

Clearly, the Cowboys are trying to accelerate their players' development.

This is a beautiful thing.


Somehow I don't get the feeling JeeberD agrees with you ;)


How 'Bout them Cowboys? Eh?

Clearly, the Cowboys are trying to accelerate their players' development.

LOL. Nice

"Approximately 3 inches short." WTF

Apparently the Cowboys are fucking drunk...

The Real Drew Bledsoe is going to have some good material.

Oh JeeberD, that must be freakin painful to watch.

IMO the MVP race this year is between Brees and LT.

And isn't that ironic. However I think LT is going to run away with the MVP.

LOL

So it's 4th and 5 and 3 inches and there's a offisides making it 4th and 3 inches. Dallas gets a false start making it 4th and 5 and 3 inches again... Romo throws in the endzone for an INT.

Wow, I LOLed on that whole sequence :D

With the exception of the Colts loss, today has kicked ass. The Dolphins crush the Patriots, and now the Cowboys get smacked around at home in primetime. Woooooot!

The good thing is: we get another whole quarter to see if TO explodes, if Romo gets booed, if Parcells walks off the field, the possibilities are endless.

How... Bout... Dem.. Cowboys... WOOOOOO

Nothing personal, i just deal with a few obsessed cowboy's fans at work who bet me quite a bit of money/dinner for a week :)

Okay, I missed when Parcells got the unsportsmanlike conduct, how did the ref call it?

Okay, I missed when Parcells got the unsportsmanlike conduct, how did the ref call it?

He got the call for throwing the red challenge flag on the field.

Watching VY make a 39 yard run to win the game in OT on 3rd and 13 was more than enough for me today, and I'm a lifelong Cowboys fan.

If Tennessee can somehow make the playoffs at 9-7, that will be one of the greatest sports stories of all time. Next year, watch out for the Titans.

The good thing is: we get another whole quarter to see if TO explodes, if Romo gets booed, if Parcells walks off the field, the possibilities are endless.


These things and waiting to see if Reggie Bush can make any more spectacular plays are the main reasons I'm still watching.

Woot!! We got a chorus of boos for TO. YAY!!

MOTHERFUCKING TO ASSHOLLE BITCH!

Can we cut his ass like Idiot Kicker, please?

How... Bout... Dem.. Cowboys... WOOOOOO

Nothing personal, i just deal with a few obsessed cowboy's fans at work who bet me quite a bit of money/dinner for a week :)

Sounds like you're gonna be pretty hooked up! Nice :cool:

Its a nice thought, but the 6-7 teams are done. 9-7 will not make the playoffs in the AFC this season. If you can't reach at least 10-6 your season is over.

The big question is: If the Bengals make the playoffs, will they have enough guys not in jail to field a team?

I know it's a long shot, but that's the disclaimer I put. To start the season 0-5, and have some people question if you'll even win a game, to finish at 8-8 is an awesome achievement.

At the risk of being declared a damn fool, I see the Titans challenging the Colts for the AFC South title next season.

Damn fool.

I hope the Colts focus on run D this offseason.

You mean challenging them for 2nd place? The Jaguars will own that division for the next few years.


@Kodos: Bite me ;) You're salty fish have one great game and you get all up in my face with that eh? ;) Besides everyone knows Deltha is a lush off the field, it was only a matter of time till he got caught. And with joseph playing unconcious as he is, we really don't miss Deltha THAT badly ;)

Damn fool.

I hope the Colts focus on run D this offseason.

IIRC the colts D-line is beat to shit right now, aren't they missing 2-3 of their big name guys up front?

If you are referring to "I", "Can Stop", and "The Run", then you would be 100% correct.

What the hell was that? "Sure, let's just run the ball down your throats 'til we get to your 5, proving you can't stop shit, then we'll humiliate you by taking four straight knees?"

Does Payton have some kind of axe to grind with Dallas here or what?

What would you have him do, take a knee earlier?

I think Parcells banged his chick while he was an assistant. Or maybe it was Romo.

I thought it was pretty classless kneeing it out. When you have the chance to hang another td on Dallas, you always do it. Hell, run a fake FG or something if you have to.

I'm not sure I'd have had him take a knee at all when you're on the opposing 5 yard line. I mean, what, you're going to just cram the ball down their throats and then, just to be nice, as SOON as you're inside the red zone, give up and not score?

The only thing I can figure is that that's a calculated insult on the part of Sean Payton, because nothing else makes sense to me.

Google "Dallas White House Cowboys" and you will get the answer to your question.

I've decided that this week doesn't count in official NFL standings.

That being said, goodnight everyone!

If you are referring to "I", "Can Stop", and "The Run", then you would be 100% correct.

Funny, I know another team or two those guys play for.

How is NOT running up the score classless?

Yeah, that didn't make sense. So they're up by a shitload, onside kick, score yet again, then kneel when you're within the opponent's 5 yard line so they don't ram up the score... huh? :confused:

By the way, Jeeber knew they were going to lose this game. That is why he picked New Orleans in the Yahoo Pickem. Good move Jeeber. Good move.

The initial AP story, sans quotes, was chalking it up to Payton being "playful" against his former team. Somehow, I'm not buying that.

The 'new' story has a couple dry quotes from Parcells, but nothing from anybody else. Hmm.

Good thing the NFL doesn't use a BCS style system, and they settle things on the field after a 16 game regular season.

I would love to see a Youtube clip of the Parcells press conference.

How is NOT running up the score classless?

Yep, it's amazing. A few weeks ago, Rutgers was beating up on Syracuse 31-7, and we had the ball with about 5 mins left in the 4th. So we gave it to Brian Leonard to run it up the middle 7 straight times. He got down to the 2 yard line, and then the next play, he punched it in for the TD (which also gave him the Rutgers career scoring record). But there were Cuse fans who were bitching that we were running up the score, and that we should've just taken a knee once we got down by the goalline. We never threw the ball, never ran it outside of the tackles, and never even subbed out the RB. And yet, we were classless for running the same play 7 times.

There must be tons of Cuse fans scattered around the country.

By the way, Jeeber knew they were going to lose this game. That is why he picked New Orleans in the Yahoo Pickem. Good move Jeeber. Good move.

I thought it was going to be closer than the spread, that's for sure... :mad:

Wait a minute, my beloved Cards beat Seattle with a healthy Hasselbeck and Alexander to make it 2 wins in a row? WTF?

they can't even get a high draft pick right

They'll make sure to win just enough so they can't take an elite lineman this year.

Really? Did you not see on the previous play Reggie Bush go out of bounds on the 5 yard line rather than run up the score, when the Cowboys defenders had obviously given up on trying to tackle him? Who was really dissing Parcells? The Saints, or the guys playing for him.

I know who Parcells was mad at.

Yeah, that didn't make sense. So they're up by a shitload, onside kick, score yet again, then kneel when you're within the opponent's 5 yard line so they don't ram up the score... huh? :confused:


The onside kick was still in the 3rd quarter (unless I had more to drink last night that I think I did) and enough 4th quarter comebacks have occured that I don't see that as a valid part of the argument of easing up. The Saints stopped "trying to score" relatively early in the 4th once they realized they had broken the Cowboy's spirit.

It was 35 - 17, and if you've been a Saints fan long enough you know that is not a big enough lead in the 4th quarter to be able to turn it off and feel good about it. The onside kick was sort of the nail in the coffin, getting that and a TD on that drive sealed the game.

Just double checked and it was in the 3rd quarter. The Saints didn't score at all in the 4th when they had clearly "called off the dogs."

Running up the score is something I can buy in college because those are just kids playing the game they love (for the most part)

In the NFL there is no such thing. These guys are made millions of dollars. You keep pounding them till it ends. If they give up it's not your problem. They deserve it.

All now that we are an hour or so away from gametime, I want to know. What is the minimum stat line that will keep Rex Grossman on the field for the rest of the season.

I say 13 for 20 210 yards 1 TD 1 INT.

I really think Lovie is serious with the no QB switch thing.

I say he could go 15 for 28, 190 yards, 1 TD, 3 INTs
