NFL Week 5: McNabb's Queasy Stomach Thread

A ridiculously underrated back's past 16 games:

1755 total yards, 11 TDs

 

Again, you have already proven yourself as someone I have no reason to take advice from. I'll stop telling people they are full of it regarding that game when I stop hearing the whining. Can't say I really want to let it go, since the result of that game still makes me smile.

 

OK, I'll bite...

Portis?

 

Ronnie Brown?

 

I thought that as well. I think Simon has roots in Florida. I could be wrong about that, though.

 

OK, I've NEVER been a fan of Skip Bayless and his Earth-sized ego, but he went way over the line this morning.

They were talking about which NFC East team is most likely not to make the playoffs. Well, King Bias was at it again when he said Dallas won't make the playoffs. I'm sick of his constant Cowboys bashing. The man obviously had a hard on for Troy Aikman, calling him queer in at least one of his books and now he's got one for TO and anything or anyone wearing the star. I really don't know how ESPN keeps this biased shitheel on the air. Yeah, I'm slanted way to the pro-Cowboys side, but even if I wasn't, his constant bias against Dallas, and hell, any superstar player (see LeBron James) is way off base.

 

Will that be instituted soon? Because it might be the only way Roethlisberger finishes the season in one piece.

 

He did take quite a beating last night. He brings a lot of that on himself, though. The guy does a great job of keeping plays alive at his own peril. In the long run, it's bound to catch up to him.

 

It wasn't the number of penalties in XL that was infuriating, it was the yards assessed on those bogus flags and the times at which they were thrown. Add to that the no-calls and you have the worst-officiated championship game in the 90-year history of the league.

 

So what you're saying is, if Seattle gets those two TDs that were taken away (one play got them to the 1-yard line) that they wouldn't have lost?

 

We'll never know whether they would have won or lost. It's foolish to speculate and I can't say what would have happened. But they were bent over a sawhorse and buggered good on three major plays (the same number of plays it took Pittsburgh to seal and win the game), and that is incontestible. I can keep counting if you want.

 

Hey, let it go. The Steeler fans say so! (Well, at least one does.)
