    I only see 3 games where Big 10 teams are matched up with Pac 10 teams. But your right, 2 of those 3 aren't very interesting at all.

    The cowboys are going to be angry against the Bears next week. Either that or they aren't very good with their O-line beat up and we have a shot.

    That was a crazy ending. I missed the holding (how I dont know) so I went from thinking the Cowboys won to realizing the Skins won in a 2 second span. McNabb knew right away the game was over after the holding was called. That's crazy that he knew the penalty was enforced that way considering he previously didnt know things like ties existed.

    Yeah that's pretty bad. Especially because there are now twice as many posts after the game ended. We should just start series threads for the rest of the season.

    I don't think we can judge a full season on 1 game's performance. I think we can learn a little more about the team after a quality opponent on the road next week (Dallas). If Dallas loses this game tonight (and they are 2 minutes from doing so) we will see a really angry Cowboys team.

    Ouch, the Redskins just Bear'd that chance at points.

    I'll have to disagree, and I am usually for being aggressive in those situations. But with 8 minutes left in the 4th, down by 2, and a shaky offensive line that struggled immensely in those situations all last season, I think you gotta take the points. I understand the thing about the Lions being pinned on the 1 if they don't get it. And I get that the Lions sucked all game offensively without Stafford. It's not as much of a clear cut decision as I probably made it seem when it happened. But I think the better decision in this situation is to take the lead because you never know if you are going to get another shot in FG range.

    Dammit...I always like when a penalty takes points off the board because the offense is given an automatic first down and then the offensive team turns it over.

    you're really [expletive] weird I didn't make the video...just passing it along for my fellow Bears fans.

    Lions fans have a lot of pent up rage: (not at all SFW)

    USA won this tourney fairly easily despite sending our "B" team. It's amazing how taking these events seriously allowed us to reclaim our international dominance. The gap is a lot closer than it was in 1992 (a LOT closer), to the point where we could lose any game we play. But we'll be the best team on the court every night for the foreseeable future.

    Not unless Kurt Warner shows up wearing an Eagles jersey.
  13. UMFan83
    I'm shocked he's looked this good. He doesnt seem any less athletic than he did 5 years ago.

    Today, REDEMPTION is spelled V-I-C-K

    dammit i wish i didnt waste my waiver spot on picking up Derek Anderson. Before you all laugh at me its a 12 team league where 2 QBs start and Leinart was my 2nd QB because WRs and RBs are more valuable in my league the way points work.

    #20 in the AP. Again, extends the streak of consecutive seasons being ranked for at least 1 week. I don't know if we've ever had a season where we werent ranked for at least 1 week. If we have it happened pre 1970 Edit: Just looked it up, 1967 is the last year where UM wasn't ranked at least once in a season, including preseason polls.

    I miss Jerry Azumah on the postgame show. Anyone know where he went? Who is this new guy?
  18. UMFan83
    I just cant see how you take away a chance to have the lead. Your d makes a huge play for you and gives you the ball at the 1 yard line and you get 0 points from it? It took the Bears until 1:30 left to actually take the lead. They apparently didnt have a huge margin of error.
  19. UMFan83
    Lovie says he would make that same call in that scenario any time. I just don't understand that. The Lions had I think 1 first down in the 4-5 possessions since stafford left the game. The chances were that they werent going to do much. A FG hypothetically gives you a great chance to win the game. Lovie is lucky that A) the Bears won and B) the controversial call took almost all the attention of the game. Otherwise, the heat on Lovie is brutal. If a FG ties the game,and a TD takes the lead, I can understand the decision a little more. If it was only the 3rd quarter, I can understand it. But with 9 minutes left in the game, where a FG gives you the lead and a TD also gives you the lead, its a really bad decision IMO

    Oh and BTW, I take back most of my argument about Cutler's performance. For some reason I thought I saw he had 44 attempts today. He only had 35. Statistically, that is a very good game. Still infuriates me when he misses wide open WRs when hes standing in the pocket.
  21. UMFan83
    There's a difference between determining in/out of bounds and determining a completed catch. What you're talking about in terms of getting something down matters for the former. Maintaining possession of the ball completely through the play determines the latter. But isn't the play over, if you are in the end zone, and your knee touches and you have possession at that moment? That's not how it works though. You have to first officially catch the ball and once you've done that you can get a knee down or cross the goal line or whatever. His knee was down but because he was catching the ball while falling, it is not an official catch until the fall is completed.

    Also, as bad as the o-line was in pass protection, they did a pretty good job blocking on screens today. The screen was a very effective play today. Did manumaleuna play today? I don't remember seeing him.

    cutler had split the remaining 2 defenders after peterson, who jumped 5 feet in the air to swipe it. it was placed very well, it's just that another player made an extraordinary play on it. If it was placed really well Knox would have caught it without breaking stride. He had 2 defenders beat, if Cutler place it correctly it would have been a 1 on 1 situation. I'm gonna stop talking about specifics on the play though because I need to look at the replay again. I saw the replay 3-4 times earlier and it looked pretty clear it was underthrown to me.
  24. UMFan83
    Id love it too. I didnt say he had a bad game I said he had a "B" game.
  25. UMFan83
    See thats what I think. I know I'd be up in arms if it was against the Bears, but based on what I knew of the rules, it looked INC the first time I saw it. People have made it seem like he completely landed and stopped rolling, and then used the hand with the ball to help himself up and just dropped the ball. In reality, in one motion he rolled, and as soon as the ball it the ground it bounced away from him. It's possible he was trying to prop himself back up with it in the same motion, but that's his fault for doing that. And there is absolutely no way he just dropped the ball, the ground caused that ball to come free, and since he was still in the process of making the catch IMO. The thing is, the people that are livid think the act of the catch was over, and the others disagree. I don't think there is any way that either side is going to convince the other. For the record I'm in the good call bad rule camp. But I'll take it.
