NFL: 2014 Season

[Car-Guy]

Denver really got hosed on that offsides flag that was picked up.

Absolutely, and as it turns out it could have changed the outcome of the game. Maybe not, but who knows now.

To be honest, I had given up any hope for Denver by the end of the 3rd quarter. What a come back in the 4th to force it into OT only to end up with a loss. However the Seahawks played a great game against another great team.

Any thoughts on Bears vs. Jets tonight?

I'm kinda gagging wishing our other rival SF beats division leader ARI this afternoon. If it's an ugly win, by a slim margin, that may make it palatable.

You didn't get your wish, Birdie. Go Cardinals!

Can the Bears stop the run?

Can the Jets stop the pass?

Ratliff out will hurt but am hopeful on the rookies.

The key will be to keep Jay clean as Ryan wants to blitz and cover one-on-one. Need to keep tight end in and back field blocking and then I am good taking chances on single coverage.

Then, of course, there is stopping their run. We will see.

Hopefully both...I have a lead in FF but my opponent has Culter and CJ...a 0 0 tie would be ideal

Nope, I'm 48 points back and have Cutler, Brandon Marshall, and Martellus Bennett. I need a high scoring game. One of us is in trouble.

I think we'll see a good offensive game with more than 60 total points.

Bears have 5 starters not playing due to injuries, but I expect them to win.

Probably me...I had a couple of guys fall flat on their face this week...Eddie Lacy and Shawn Graham to be specific...Graham had 0 points thanks to a missed PAT and no FG and Lacy just hasn't been good. That's what you get with an autodraft

 

[ripper1]

Bears win again despite injuries. Next man up.

 

[Mr. Paul]

The Jets get a turnover in good field position late in the first half, a bit over a minute to go. Geno Smith, outside the pocket and short of the line of scrimmage, decides to slide (keeping the clock running) instead of flipping the ball out of bounds. How long has he been playing QB

Cutler was great when he had time. Which wasn't too often. It seems like the pass protection has been lousy ever since his arrival in Chicago.

So did you come back...?

Thanks to Culter/Bennett and Jefferies (yes he had all 3) I got crushed. I could have handled 1...not all 3. Apparently I played a Bear's Fan (he also had Hester for nostalgic reasons I assume)

The Bronco's offense is going to have to show up for both 1/2's of the game to beat Seattle. Don't think they can win if they don't, and they almost let their first two games get away from them. Exciting to watch, but not good for the blood pressure!

They did! Except there was also an OT.

What a game. An instant classic!
The last six minutes of regulation were as good as it gets.

Since I moved go my new apartment, I no longer have DirecTV and a DVR. I had to resort to old school and break out my 24-year-old VCR to record the last half and the OT. No HD quality there. There's got to be a way to connect to my laptop to retain HD and preserve these games for later. Or I might just have to subscribe to that NFL package I mentioned here elsewhere.

 

[Birdie Num Nums]

What a game. Now that would have made an exciting super bowl.

But I want to know, who in their right mind calls tails on the OT coin flip . I'd call heads all the way.

Except there'd be folks who'd argue the Seahawks didn't deserve the win because of the officiating. I prefer the outcome of the actual SB, when the Hawks fulfilled the season motto of" Leave No Doubt 24/7."

As for the coin flip in the rematch, I am one of those who has long believed that each team should get at least one possession in OT. If a team scores in any way in OT, then the opposing team gets a series of downs to try to score or it's all over.

 

[Birdie Num Nums]

You didn't get your wish, Birdie. Go Cardinals!

Nope, I didn't! Drats!
Arizona is looking pretty good, at least in the standings. I haven't been able to catch a game of theirs on TV yet. From what little I know about the Cardinals, they have been playing mostly with backup players, right? Yet, they are only one of three undefeated teams after Week 3. Congratulations!

Nope, made a good run at it but came up short. First loss this year.

NFL London kicks off this weekend, with three regular-season games to be played over the next six weeks, starting with Raiders vs. Dolphins.

Any thoughts on Packers vs. Bears. Cutler is 1-8 against Pack.

I think whichever team that commits to the run will win the game.

The game won't be Rodgers vs Cutler but Lacy vs Forte.

Of course I could be totally wrong as the game could be pass, pass, pass and then pass some more.

I am struggling with this. Know we have struggled with Rogers. Even with injuries I feel kind of confident. There, I said it.

May the force be with us..............................

Packer Oline has really struggled so maybe the DLine can get pressure and help cover up for the devastated Bear secondary. I am afraid Rogers gets going Sunday. Will Bears receivers be healthy enough? As Chicago offense has not hit peak form yet either. I'm rooting for Bears, but I have reason as I have $1200 on them to at least win 8 this year.

Im looking at both teams putting up big offensive numbers. May come down to who has the ball last.

Or which team decides to pick the ball up laying on the ground that everyone is ignoring and run it in for a touchdown....that was one crazy play last year.

Ex-Seahawk Golden Tate had a nice game, with his fourth 100-yard receiving game of his career.

I'm looking forward to the Saints-Cowboys game later tonight.

In the meantime, I'm hoping division rival SF loses to the Eagles. So far, early in the 1st quarter, it's looking good.

Going to have to eat this one. We decided to go to this game late. They are now 2-2. We have been to both defeats, is there a pattern here?
