NFL Week 9 Running Thread

That's a shame.

 

Never disputed his status as an idiot. Just saying it wasn't his fault. Next time, bump up the point size on the sarcasm font.

 

Absolutely ridiculous 15-yard facemask penalty.

The Cowboys will be receiving one of those quite apologies from the league, for all the good it will do them.

 

So the last 2 weeks where Vick was dominating the NFL with career best games back-to-back, he was playing with the '81-82 49ers?

 

This week sucks.

But lots of "Our Country" during the commercials!

 

Except the Cowboys got away with a trip on Randle El on the last punt return, which he could have busted for a touchdown. Instead, it set up the missed 49-yard try by the Redskins.

Had refs spotted that and flagged the Cowboys 15 yards, maybe the Redskins get a chip shot and lead it before Dallas ever gets the ball back.

EDIT -- Big Ben scrambled forever, then found Willie Parker for a touchdown to make it 14-7. He's regaining his old form again.

 

If Owens doesn't sleep thru practice[/AI] maybe he runs the right t routes a few more times and catches another pass or 2. Or maybe if he's awake, he doesn't drop another one.
Who ever said Owens works hard and plays hard, is a liar. He plays, at his leisure and doesn't practice, he works out.

BTW Since when does Jesus go 17-32 163 1TD 2 INTS?

 

Yep, that's the NFL. At least one game a week ends that way.

The officiating in that game was utterly ridiculous from start to finish. This league is about a half-step above pro wrestling. It's fun to watch as long as you don't care who wins or if it's a legitimate win.

 

They sold their soul to win last year's Super Bowl.

 

But he's a MAC quarterback, so he'll always be inferior to great Big 10 QBs like Art Schlichter. [/junkie]

 

And just like that, another red zone turnover for the 'Burger, under pressure tosses it straight to Champ Bailey.

 

And yet, given how he's played the last two drives and how the defense has toughened up since the two quick scores, I'm feeling fine. Steelers are only down a touchdown, lots of game left.

Roethlisberger's mobility and ability to make plays outside the pocket is something that had been missing until today.
