This is the Colt team I know!! Indy forces a turnover and Vinatieri kicks a 37 yard FG. 17-0 Colts in the 1st quarter.

Pennington with a 80 yard TD to Cobbs. 14-3 Fins!

The Ravens look completely befuddled...on defense AND offense. Gonna be a long day for them.

Same goes for the Panthers, though they have the players to turn it around. Garcia playing well too.

Brett looking like Brett once again. that being said...cincy has to be the best winless team around.

Flickered Flame · 10-12-2008, 12:05 PM

The Texans with a 70 punt return. 14-13 Fins.

Atlanta looking good but can't punch it into the endzone.

Can someone explain ineligible man downfield rule please?

Atlanta had a ball caught in the endzone called back because of this penalty and even the announcers couldn't figure it out.

OILFAN #81 · 10-12-2008, 12:21 PM

It is a foul when an ineligible offensive player, which is difficult to describe but is often an offensive lineman, advances beyond his line of scrimmage after losing contact with an opponent at the line of scrimmage. It is also illegal when an ineligible offensive player moves downfield without contacting an opponent at the line of scrimmage. These restrictions end when the ball leaves the passer's hand. The offending player must be more than one yard beyond the line of scrimmage prior to the pass to be illegally downfield. This guideline is used in college and professional football.

Manning and Harrison hook up for the 2nd time today for a 5 yard TD!!! 24-0 Colts late in the 2nd quarter!!

That's only for passes going beyond the line of scrimmage right? I've seen screen plays where there are lineman going everywhere!

Haha, that's something i'm content with!

Manning to Wayne for a 34 yard reception down to the 1 yard line.

TD Colts as Rhodes punches it in for a 1 yard TD! 31-0 Colts! This team is on fire today and back to the Colt team i'm used to seeing! Baltimore is hanging their heads right now on defense.

Whoa, what happened to the Ravens?

Good on the Colts for jumping on them, I guess.

Flickered Flame · 10-12-2008, 01:00 PM

Nice to see the Vikings laying another egg this season.

Defensively, the Ravens can't match the Colts on offense at all today. It's like men vs boys. In terms of the Ravens offense, they just haven't showed up. They are getting stuffed on every opportunity. Flacco's 2 INT's hasn't helped the Ravens either. All this with no 2/4 of the top Colt players not playing today (Addai with a hamstring issue and Sanders with the ankle).

How do you think the Cowboys will fair today? In Arizona I see the Cowboys winning that game. Warner will pass for a ton of yards and put up numbers but Dallas should win it.

What the hell was going on in the 1st half in that game, lol? I'm watching the Indy game and I checked the scoreboard and it said Detroit 3, Minnesota 2 @ halftime. I was like the Wings/Wild are not playing today lol. I see it's now 10-2 Detroit late in the 3rd.

EDIT: Check that 10-9 now.

Flickered Flame · 10-12-2008, 01:04 PM

Yeah I spoke too soon, the Vikings just got a TD. 10-9 Lions.

OILFAN #81 · 10-12-2008, 01:11 PM

Ravens finally driving the ball. Looks like they might get a TD........

Sacked.....

but Ravens do get a 37 yard FG to get on the board. 31-3 Colts late in the 3rd.

I don't know. Even with their win last game the Cowboys didn't exactly look like world-beaters (especially on defence), and haven't for a few games. Also, Romo has thrown an interception in an obscene amount of games straight (8 or 9, I believe).

I think they'll win, but it'll be close.

What is happening in Washington today? The Skins offense looks anemic against a very poor Rams defense. Is Haslett really that much superior as a coach to Linehan?
