Missed an hour due to a meeting, but I think I saw more action on that runback than in the entire World Series game.
As a Giants fan, well, that's part of it too.There's been several plays at home plate. It's been pretty entertaining even though the Yankees are looking like toast.
My question is, "what the fork was Russell Wilson doing hitting a blocking sled?"
The stupid part is they had it set up right -- they had five blockers out there against two defenders. But none of those blockers seemed to realize the ball had been snapped, so they stood there and let a guy go right through.Wow that was almost Cowboys sent everyone but the center out wide bad

Steelers are two wins away at the halfway mark from guaranteeing Tomlin to have his 18th straight .500 or better season. And they have four against the Browns and Bengals left. It may be ugly how they're doing it, but darn if the Steelers are quietly having a great season.
They still have two against the Ravens, one against the Commies and the Chiefs. Out of the bye is going to be a brutal schedule but as a Niners fan, I wish I had 50 percent of the Steelers' luck.
I was watching the Manningcast, and they had Bill Cowher with them in the fourth quarter. When the Giants lined up for the play in which Jones fumbled, with the tight end on the left and the back on the right and Watt lined up wide on the offense's right, all three of them were saying they needed to switch the formation to put the TE on the right to chip on Watt and slow him down because by the time the back gets to him it would be too late to make a difference. As it turned out, the back didn't even try to help on Watt because he thought one of the ILBs was going to be blitzing and went to the middle.Giants fans have to be very frustrated. They did a lot to beat themselves last night. It wasn't just that play. They had far too many sloppy penalties. Jones had two killer turnovers, though the fumble was also just Watt being Watt. The interception was simply a poor throw at the worst possible time, which is something of a pattern for Jones. Nabers had a killer drop on third down before the field goal that brought them within eight.
The officials were not good. Sure, they missed multiple holds on Watt and Highsmith, but they had some ugly missed calls that hurt the Giants. There was one deep ball on which Porter clearly grabbed Slayton's hand with no call. More importantly, they should have called Moon for running into the Giants' punter on Austin's punt return for a touchdown. I'm certainly not complaining, but the Steelers got very lucky last night.
