LOL Bills tie it!

 

Games like this one and the Browns and Saints really makes me optimistic about tonights Packers game.

 

You don't know what's going to happen going into any game in this league.

this Redskins-Bears game is a disgrace to football

It's funny that you wrote this like an hour before it got really bad.

oh, the entirety of that game was really bad, but the result was great, i'll forever root for Marinelli to fail at whatever he does

Wow Cutler. When do the excuses stop for that guy and people just realize he's a ready talented guy who is an awful decision maker and prone to big mistakes at terrible times?

do the broncos understand that their game has started, and that it counts in the standings?

 

it's pretty wild, by far the most common picks in elimination leagues this week were the saints, who lost, and the bills, who won in overtime. then after that the broncos were the third most common pick, and they're somehow getting blown out by the raiders.

wow, the Raiders are up 21-0 and the Broncos have run just 2 plays on offense

 

well, aside from the 10 play drive they had at the beginning of the game.

no, you're wrong, learn to read

I picked up their defense for a fantasy league. They have -5 points.

Wow the Miami Steelers game just had the most complete explanation of a review ever. Miami got screwed but they did right based on the rules. But Miami got screwed.

 

Very screwed.

 

I don't get it, though. If the ball is recovered in the endzone it is either a TD or a turnover. How can you just place the ball at the 1/2 yard line? This seems like something we'd do in grade school because we don't have refs to make the correct call. Settle on something in the middle so nobody gets too pissed off and quits playing.

 

If this play was never reviewed the refs wouldn't just look at each other and then place the ball at the 1/2 yard line. I need an explanation on this "rule".

 

I believe the problem was that the refs blew the play dead before possession was determined, but I'm not sure. There wasn't a conclusive change of possession in the replays that I saw,

 

But nevermind all that. 2:36 to go, no timeouts, needing a field goal to win. Ronnie Brown has 8 rushes for like 11 yards. So naturally, you burn 30 seconds off the clock on first down with Ronnie Brown up the middle. What in the hell was that play call?

The Raiders scored 38 points in the first 22 minutes today which was more than they've scored in any game since 2005.

 

The 59 points (done in three quarters) are a franchise high for a game.

 

This is amazing.

Yeah, Henning is awful. We were moving the ball at will through the air after the first quarter. It's just tough to swallow when you know the refs played a large part. They said they couldn't see a change of possession, but I believe it's clear as day. Alama-Francis was the first to jump on it and then a couple Steelers jumped on him and he still came out of the pile with the ball. Any other time that happens it's Dolphins ball. It just seems like the refs are inventing rules or interpreting rules in ways they never have before a lot this year (and in critical situations).

 

I'm just really curious to see how you can just place the ball at the 1/2 yard line. I would figure you'd have to either call it a TD or a fumble recovery.

 

Oh well, we let one slip away against another conference opponent. It's gonna be real tough to make the playoffs in the AFC this year.

So yeah...I have Darren McFadden, but figured he'd be splitting time with Bush, so I didn't play him. Played Moreno instead.
