[backrow]

Wes Welker and Kevin Curtis are both out with injuries, Kevin Walter is back. Stokley is most likely out as well, Broncos play at 4:15.

 

[whiteathlete33]

Curtis seems to be getting injured too much lately. He missed so many games last year. He only has 5 receptions this year to date as well. I hate to see my favorite receiver going through hard times. I see Amendola already has a nice kickoff return for 42 yards.Edited by: whiteathlete33

 

[backrow]

Danny Amendola's first kick return went for 42 yards!

 

[whiteathlete33]

Jared Allen has a sack and forced fumble already.

 

[celticdb15]

Backrow i thought Danny was gone! Aaron Rodgers is holding on to the ball way to frickin long. All these sacks cannot be blamed on the line...

 

[backrow]

heh, John Kuhn with a 1 yard TD run!

and a bit of Jordy Nelson just before. Kampman has a sack and a FF as well.

 

[whiteathlete33]

Kevin Walter with 4 catches for 60 yards. Edelman only has one for 4 yards.

 

[backrow]

Galloway is a piece of sh*t, geez. what a perfect example of how NOT to play WR... Edelman is slowly getting more looks, up to 3 catches so far.

 

[celticdb15]

GAh shoulda strted Walter on my fantasy team but wasnt sure if he was back to 100% yet.

 

[celticdb15]

Craig Dahl is playing safety due to Butler getting hurt. That brings the Rams to 5 white starters on D.

 

[backrow]

Reed Doughty is playing a lot of safety as well, i guess Horton got injured?

Barrett Ruud already has 11 tackles for hapless Bucs.

 

[Bear Backer]

Backrow i thought Danny was gone! Aaron Rodgers is holding on to the ball way to frickin long. All these sacks cannot be blamed on the line...

He signed with the Rams.

 

[celticdb15]

BB i meant gone as in taking that return to the house!

 

[Bear Backer]

BB i meant gone as in taking that return to the house!

gotcha, now

 

[backrow]

Byron Leftwich update: 7/16, 22 yards, 1 interception. oh, and two carries for3 yards. go Bucs!Edited by: backrow

 

[Bear Backer]

Looks like Kevin Kolb is going crazy again this week with passing yards. I refuse to watch the whole game, but have turned in twice to see him get a touchdown run and a td pass to Brent Celek who is looking awesome again.Edited by: Bear Backer

 

[backrow]

Brent Celek went over a 100 receiving yards again, on his 35 yard score.

also, during Pats game they showed (for quite a while) their white o-line line-up on screen (with photos) and gave them big props for today's game. that was quite nice

 

[dwid]

Jim Leonhard with a nice return for great field position

hate the announcer "gotta love this guy, hes not doing that with athleticism or speed, he just knows where to go" What the hell does that even mean? how do you return a punt to the other side of the field without any athleticism?

 

[Don Wassall]

The Lions are leading the Blackskins 19-7 with about 5 minutes left to play.

 

[SuperSpeed23]

What a comment by the announcer on Jim Leonhard. He has a awesome punt return and the announcers like, "hes not very athletic and not very fast, but he has great instincts and works hard" I didnt quote him word for word but thats basically what he said.

 

[SuperSpeed23]

oh my bad, what i said was already posted. I should read next time

 

[Don Wassall]

8 tackles and 2 assists for A. J. Hawk.

 

[Bear Backer]

Sometimes caste announcers come off as completely ridiculous and derogatory to the Affletes, when they are trying to sprinkle in the obligatory caste remarks for White players. This sounds like one of those times. So Mr Announcer, if Leonhard is just this slow old nobody rumblin, bumblin and stumblin down the field with no athleticism on a bit of luck and good instincts, what does that say about the Affletes on the special teams? How sucky and stupid are they?

 

[Don Wassall]

Two plays speak volumes: Brett Favre wins the game with a long and beautiful catch and throw with 2 seconds left with his team down by 4 points. On 4th down and a handful of seconds left and the Redskins on the Lions 37 and his team losing by 5 points, Jason Campbell throws a 5 yard pass. Game over, Lions losing streak is over.
