Week 4: Eagles at Bears, 7:15 central on NBC

[SpongeWorthy]

That is such a stupid rule... seriously... he was trying to block it not run into the kicker. I know it's a rule blah blah blah but I still think it's dumb.

 

I normally agree that kickers and QBs are coddled a bit too much but that's a no brainer call. The punter is defenseless in that position.

That is such a stupid rule... seriously... he was trying to block it not run into the kicker. That's so stupid.

Tillman went right through him. It's quite dangerous.

 

Tillman was a half a second away from blocking that kick, it isnt stupid, its football.

I think football is WAY too pussified, but the punter is literally hung out dry when kicking.

[Cynosure]

Well, that helps!

When are unnecessary roughness calls NOT a fraction of a second from not happening?

really? what's he hanging by? I've never noticed any wires or that punters are particularly wet. They usually don't even sweat.

And you can't make a rule and say it's okay if it's "close."

[Cynosure]

Overthrown again.

 

EDIT: Now that I saw the replay... Hester :evil:

[Jon]

Oh, Hester...

[SpongeWorthy]

Oh my god.

 

CATCH. THE. BALL.

[Magnetic Curses]

[Jon]

It looked like he simply put his arms up too late. Geez.

[Magnetic Curses]

Overthrown again.

 

r u being sarcastic?

[Handlebar McSkullet]

Ill bash orton till he retires, but that was a perfect pass, and hester has to catch it!!!!

Are you being obtuse on purpose? The punter is usually in the air (thus the word "hung") in those situations.

I edited it, I'm watching the game, listening to the Hawks game and reading... all I saw was the end.

i agree, rushing the punter should be a gamble.

[Jon]

Well that was some fine blocking by Olsen.

 

Then again, he got no support, either.

So he's jumping in the air and staying there to dry out. that's what you said. if you had not written "literally" it wouldn't have drawn any notice.

 

Of course, no one ever says "hung out to dry" and means it literally these days.

[Magnetic Curses]

lucky lucky lucky.

[Handlebar McSkullet]

Our offensive line... well.. very bad.

 

olsen got beat but if he didnt, garza got beat as well..

[Jon]

Nice blitz.

[Careless]

never good when your qb is sacked and you see two OL standing there looking for someone to block

[Careless]

lucky not to get that block in the back penalized

in his defense, tillman came down right on the kicker's knee. could have been ugly if he didn't get his spike up.
