NFL Week 5: McNabb's Queasy Stomach Thread

Glad you caught that bit of bullshit too.

 

He's my new favorite player.

Now, someone start the NFL Week 6 thread already and please let week 5 just die away.

 

Hope initiated contact in the end zone. This is the first chuck.

 

No.

 

See, now that isn't nearly as disgusting as what you posted before. Unfortunately for the Seattle receiver, he followed that touch of fingertips on his shoulder pads by pushing as he made a move, which is normally going to be called.

You have those filed with notations, don't you?

Edit: To be fair, I could be completely wrong in my description there. I really need to make time and watch that game again.

 

I could teach a course on that game, but I won't get the chance.

And the key word, oop, is "normally." It's a 50-50 call. It depends on which chuck the ref catches.

 

Two absolutely awesome blocks on Bush's punt return for a touchdown. And ESPN got those from all angles.

 

Which is why that play isn't particularly good evidence. There are definitely shakier calls in that game than a 50-50 call that didn't go the Seahawks' way.

The two times that Clark Haggans was past the offensive tackle before the snap come to mind. Those were the worst blown calls of the day on either side. The second one forced the right tackle into the hold that got the pass to the one-yard-line called back. It should have been offsetting penalties and run the play over, though that call would have definitely sucked for Seattle, too.

 

Oh. So. Close.

 

Everytime I see Reggie Bush play I think how can someone be so good yet suck so bad at the same time.

 

oop, I can burn you a copy on my new home gadget, and with a special DVD commentary. You need only ask.

Seriously, the game is and was dull as shit to watch. Breaking it down has been a sort of cruel and unusual punishment, but self-imposed.

The offensive pass interference is one of the ones I can live with either way. It was a snap decision and a hard call to make. But it does suck, because it's like the old thing where you and your brother are shoving each other in the back seat, and mom turns around just in time to see you with the elbow. And then you have to rake the yard and go to your room.

 

Haha...no thanks. I'll stick to my copy with the original commentary.
