NFL Week 2 Running Thread

Did the announcer just chastise Vikings fans for booing a fifth field goal?

Really?

I'm loathe to defend Vikes fans, but even they're smart enough to figure out that between the erratic QB and the horrible play calling, Minnesota is wasting the best back in the league.

 

Minnesota's run defense is stellar again. Don't know what it is, but Joseph Addai can't find any room.

 

Hey, Raiders: Keep giving the ball to McFadden!

 

Like they're actively trying to get their coach fired. The QB can't throw with any accuracy, the running backs can't hold onto the ball.

And: touchdown. But they did their best to fumble it away more than once on that drive.

Next to the 1991 10-6 Chiefs playoff win against the LA raiders (starting Todd Marijuanavich!), this is the single worst professional football game I have ever seen. The only flashes of "Oh, how neat" have been in the Raider running game, on that last drive. With fumbles to end the runs.

 

Holding negates Muhammad TD. Fox must be livid, and Delhomme's head is about to explode.

 

Jeff Otah takes a TD off the board. Muhammad had made a better play than any he made last year when he looked done with the Bears.

 

And that's why you boo the fifth field goal.

 

Indeed.

 

That TD should be overturned, but the Colts will still have 1st-and-goal at the 1.

 

The Rams' defense is inept and the offense is impotent.

 

Greg Olsen needs to learn how to hang on to the ball.

 

Greg Olsen better not see the field the rest of the game.
