Man, the Broncos are not 5-0 good. WTH. I wonder when Morrissey or some jackal over in the Denver are going to write an article about how Jay was the reason why the sucked last year?

 

Bronco's defense is 5-0 good

 

Maybe. But some reason when they fall they will fall.

 

With that said, I can't wait for Morrissey to question why the Bears traded two first rd picks, a 3rd and Kyle Orton for Cutler, when the Bears could have kept Orton and build around Kyle. I simply cannot wait. :roll:

I meant fail, but TY for pointing out what everybody does on this board, tho. :D

I dont usually watch a lot of NFL football or comment on it. So I am not going to start. I however am making a general fb rule change suggestion. I feel it would be a good idea in college and pro fb for there to be a penalty for flopping. Watching pass interfenence get called because of WR flops is sad or roughing the punter because of it. If there was a 15 yd penalty for flopping, my guess is it would be much easier to make the correct call when it happens. What punter would flop if he wasnt really hit? I know there are times they would take the chance, but at least then it would be an occasional gamble, not an every punt scenerio.

I am pretty sure there is already a rule against punters flopping, but I could be wrong.

 

Not to my knowledge. Even if there is it is impossible to enforce. Legs used to get shattered on punts so they all got taught that if someone dives at them to just pick up the second foot and fall to the ground. How do you penalize someone who is trying to avoid his leg getting broken.

Orton has actually been pretty solid and hasn't turned the ball over. He's been a little lucky of course, but to this point he's been a good fit because of their defense and the weapons he has.

I didnt know that, I just assumed they did it to try to get the roughing call.

It's a mixture of both obviously but when punters first started picking up the second foot it was to avoid injury. The whole reason fro the rules is because that plant foot is easy to break. It is flexed and serves as the only thing touching the ground so any somewhat serious contact will snap it.

I think there is one, but I don't think it's really called anymore.

Pretty sure I've never seen that penalty before: "Unsportsmanlike conduct: formation of an illegal wedge"

 

It's new this year.

 

And the Titans are killing themselves here. That's 30 yards on penalties that they've given the Colts.

Peyton Manning is so good. I know the Titans helped them but the Colts went 63 yards (non-penalties) in 48 seconds on six plays.

One of the dumbest things I have seen. Celebrating a TD at the 50 are you kidding me! That's when I changed the channel because I was on my laptop at the time and almost chucked it.

It was on his own 30 or so when he started. The 50 would have been much better

 

I hope someone records Singletary yelling at him.
