NFL week 5

I enjoyed watching Keyshawn get into yet another shouting match with someone on his own sideline.

I DID NOT however enjoy watching Vinny punk the Bucs. When all you get is field goals, you lose.

The ego-that-is-gruden said he wanted to improve the kicking game this year. Guess he got what he wanted: 4 fg's.

I think Greaseball is the biggest worry on this team. Guy looks scared, either of taking a hit, or having another "talk" w/ chucky. If it weren't for Joe Galloway, we'd have really been sunk today; he's really surprised me this year, stayed healthy, caught some tough throws. Just need someone with an ounce of gumption to throw it to him.

And Ronde! What the hell was that?! I'm sure he'd never, ever intentionally hit a ref, and i have to believe that his reputation as an upstanding person kept him from his suspension, but damn! Just point out that Mawae's got his facemask to the ref who was RIGHT THERE, and make them take the penalty.

Oh well, maybe greasy will get drunk and fall down in his driveway again. Then we can start simms.

man, I hate the knees down fumble rule.

technically that means he didn't have total control of the ball when he was going down if it is dropped right after his knees touch.

and the 2 feet in with total control... anyone watching the bengals game and saw that challenge knows what I mean. He had control when his second foot hit the ground but not the first. I am cheering for CIN and think that was bull

 

[McHack]

Ugh...

Bengals loose... Packers win... *** is going on here?

 

[Ray-man]

Ugh...

Bengals loose... Packers win... *** is going on here?

Is it possible for every team to finish 8-8? Parity or mediocrity?

 

[The Golden Boy]

Bengals loose... Packers win... *** is going on here?

Undefeated to that point or whatever... they're still the Bengals.








sorry.

 

[SomecallmeTim]

Well, the Steelers win, but by the looks of it, they're going to lose Ben for a significant amount of time.

This is absolutely terrible. I had almost gotten used to good quarterback play in Pittsburgh....

 

[cheezewiz]

That looked painful. Knees just don't bend that way. I'm not a Steeler fan, but I root for Ben since he's a local boy....

 

[SomecallmeTim]

Yeah, the way they wrapped it up reminded me of my own MCL tear...I guess that really doesn't mean anything, and they'd probably wrap it up even as precaution, but with the force of that hit, I'd be surprised if he didn't tear something.

 

[Pacman]

Falcons > patriots

No cigar for you!


GO PATS!!!!

I see unfortunate things like that happen and it makes me wonder how an elder statesman like Favre can hold such an ironman record and keep going week in an week out. In today's game, I find it even more amazing.

That's because he made a deal with the devil.

 

[cheezewiz]

That's because he made a deal with the devil.

And that deal included almost complete ownership of the Bears!

 

[Eric Perry]

MRI reports simply a mild hyperextension and bone bruise.

It's looking now like (AACCKKK) Charlie Batch will be playing agsinst the Jags due to Maddox and his strained calf (I think it's the calf).

Ben is hopeful for the following week, however.

That hit DID look immensely painful. I was a'scared when I saw that!

 

[SomecallmeTim]

I'm glad Ben is going to be alright - a hit like that really could have resulted in a far more serious injury. From what I read the possibility of Ben playing on Sunday is open, but I imagine they'll probably end up starting Batch. There are worse third string QB's in the league, I'll tell you that much.

 

[jive1]

There are worse third string QB's in the league, I'll tell you that much.

If you're the Bears, you have a first string worse than most 3rd strings.

And I had high hopes for Orton too.....

"High" is right.

I gave half a thought to tossing the Bears into my comment as an example, but I figured that might come off as being cruel to our Chicago faithful.

Naw, the Bears management is cruel to the Chicago faithful.

No cigar for you!


GO PATS!!!!

Why aren't you rooting for your Texans? You live close enough to Houston.
