Zach Thomas just got a sack that was his 100th tackle of the season, leads NFL! he also has over 100 tackles in each of his 11 NFL seasons.

 

[Don Wassall]

The good hands of Furrey and Welker contrast sharply with those of most of theblack receiverson the two teams.


Did you catch how Phil Simms excused all the key third down drops by the black Dolphins receivers as Harrington's fault because his "release is too quick." Simms hasalways been a sickening Caste System lackey.


Jim Nantz remains the fairest NFL announcer.

 

[backrow]

well, they did call Welker quick! they also praised Furrey for his ability to play both defense and offense highlighting his 4 intereptions that led Rams last seasons as free safety

 

[Sark6354201]

Simms is an abomination. My head hurts whenever I have to listen to his 'analysis'.

 

[backrow]

ALSTOTT UP THE GUT, TD TAMPA BAY!!!

gotta love it, Gruden took some time figuring out that Alstott can still be a huge part of this offense this season...

PS Owens has 3 drops already, 1 in the endzone. . .Edited by: backrow

 

[Sark6354201]

The amount of drops in both games so far today has been nothing short of pathetic.

 

[xc1427]

Speaking of dropped balls, maybe its because they cannot tell the difference between the foot(ball) and their own, well, "ball(s)."

 

[backrow]

wow, looks like it will be worst week yet... TEs are getting some balls (Shockey, Heap, Cooley) but so farour best wide receivers: Curtis, Jurevicius, Matt Jones have 1 catch for 7 yards between them in first half...

EDIT: just to prove me wrong, Curtis caught 2 catches in dying seconds of first half, 36 yards and is team leading receiver coming into second halfEdited by: backrow

 

[backrow]

Cooley just had a great catch that went for 66 yards and a TD! announcers even said he had good speed that allowed him to stay ahead of the defender...

 

[lumsdenpower]

Mike Vick is not good like QB but he has NO RECEIVER..Peyton Manning will do the same thing that vick do..the receiver DROP EVERY BALL...If I was Vick, I would say : Hey give me Mike Hass...

 

[Poacher]

Mike Vick is not good like QB but he has NO RECEIVER..Peyton Manning will do the same thing that vick do..the receiver DROP EVERY BALL...If I was Vick, I would say : Hey give me Mike Hass...

Maybe if Vick's contract wasn't so big the team could afford some good ones (aside from Finneran).

When Manning signed his well deserved contract the first thing we heard from the caste media was "will Peyton's big contract hurt the team?" And we still hear it every time the Colt's defense doesn't step up. But in Vick's case we never hear the same argument.

By the way everyone, St. Mexico was 9/24 for 84 yards today. Brees torched the Falcons for 349 yds and a couple of touchdowns.Edited by: Poacher

 

[backrow]

add Patriots to the list of teams that need Mike Hass badly... 3 drops so far, plus one of the receivers caught a ball that he coughed up on Todd Johnson's tackle for an interception close to the end zone...

 

[white lightning]

Kevin Curtis had 3 catches for 41 yards but at least he caught the game winning touchdown.It is sickening how little they utilize this guy.He is the best receiver on that team as the other guys are on the downside of their careers.Congrats on ending the Rams losing streak!

 

[Don Wassall]

John Madsen of Oakland just had a 57 yard reception followed by a 2 yard TD catch on the next play. They look to be using him as their main TE today. It's about time as their black TEs are both terrible. Madsen should be a starting WR on Oakland but this is still nice to see.

 

[lumsdenpower]

Vick make a finger to someone...do you know to who?

yeah, he got 59 initally but it got reversed... they went right back to him for a 2 yard catch.

too bad Brooks is at he helm though

 

[backrow]

man, Young love fest is like nothing i have ever heard... i mean all they talk about is him...

and he doesn't throw it to Drew Bennett frequently enough either.

EDIT: he actually went to Drew at least 5 more times, some were a little underthrown some were overthrown. too bad, with some decent accuracy Young would have gotten Bennett some 80 yards. Young is actually playing a very good football game.Edited by: backrow

 

[sport historian]

The Titans have come back to win after a Manning int set up a last-second FG. The Titans were able to tie the score when on 4th and 10, a Giant DL backed off after tackling Young, who ran for a 1st down. I've never seen a DL do that in all my years watching football.

 

[backrow]

i know... Kiwanuka wrapped him up and must have thought he threw the ball so he just... well, stopped and let him go? very weird thing indeed. that was on 4th and 10 btw, Titans last chance to tie up the game.

 

[Matt_Bowen_Fan]

Did Kaesviharn start, or was he in on just passing downs?

Cooley and Heap both had great games, so I'm happy.

 

[backrow]

he started the game at strong safety

 

[backrow]

Considine just had a nice wrap around legs tackle on Dallas Clark only catch of the day and Clark left the field limping after laying on the field for a long time. fans stood up and cheered him as he walked off the field.

 

[backrow]

wow, listen to them subtly talking Hasselback down... "well, defense knows he's not gonna like with it", "Seneca Wallace would probably try and get a first down here with his legs" etc.

 

[Colonel_Reb]

Can you count all those dropped balls by Seattle's receivers? There were at least 4 on that last drive of the first half alone. Pitiful! I guess those black hands are even worse in the cold than in the warmth!
