Stafford has been very inconsistent this year and especially in the red zone he seems to have trouble outside of the fade and lob to Johnson.

Also there was a reason they wanted Ronnie Brown as they basically have no ability to get tough yards.

One of the worst block in the back penalties just shown in the SEA game. As this game is not going to be on any highlight packages, I will explain.

Leon Washington free and clear on a punt return, and the last Cleveland player chasing falls down without being touched, with a Seattle blocker following behind.

The offical that made the call (who, missed a punt out of bounds earlier in the game) was in a horrible angle and 25 yards away.

In a stinker for both teams offenses, and currently 3-0 Cleveland, that is a huge play taking those points off the board.

Jim Mora, doing color on the telecast ripped the official, calling it a "horrible, horrible, repeat, horrible call" and that officials can't be front and centre in deciding games by calling phantom penalties they can't really see. Rightfully so, a horrible penalty.

why didnt the Lions go for two?

Dont know how you are lasting watching that game man....i tried for a bit and its unwatchable for me.

The Texans are going to go on a real run here and walk away with the AFC South. They've played the four hardest games on their schedule already and shouldn't lose more than two more games the rest of this season, and could run the table from here.

Take the good with the bad. Not turning off Flames games if its an ugly tie game, so won't do it for my NFL team.

Cle takes the lead with another 50+ yard FG. They haven't been in the redzone, Seattle's defense is playing well, whereas Seattle's score is a result of an ineffective offense, in part due to Lynch getting scratched minutes before the game, in part because Whitehurst pretty much can't make passes other than to wide open guys.

Sea was at the 4 yard line but couldn't get it in.

Well a couple turn overs and the Bucs are now only down by a field goal against a Bears team that has to be a bit panicked.

Tony Sparano better have his office cleaned out in advance if Denver is able to complete the comeback here.

I don't see how they can fire him for doing exactly what the team wanted.

There is no way that they did not purposefully try to lose this game.

It will be interesting to see people try to spin this as a good sign for Tebow if they do win. He has been terrible so far but all the devotees will still try to make it out as though he has a place in the league.

transplant99 · 10-23-2011, 02:05 PM

Chargers completely imploded in the 2nd half...rivers just not as good as he has been in recent times.

Dolphins gas their lead in the last 20 seconds...man are they bad.

GirlySports · 10-23-2011, 02:11 PM

Tebow makes it look ugly but he's a gamer.

transplant99 · 10-23-2011, 02:13 PM

worst 2 minute offense in football history by Rivers....jeezuz that was just awful how much time they wasted.

moon · 10-23-2011, 02:15 PM

Were the Chargers taking notes from the Dolphins on how to lose a game in the 4th quarter?

Brutal from both teams. Makes sense for the Dolphins to throw the game away but what the heck were the Chargers doing?

transplant99 · 10-23-2011, 02:16 PM

Moon...there isnt a team in the NFL that intentionally throws football games...just stop it with that nonsense.

moon · 10-23-2011, 02:16 PM

Now Miami can't get one yard?

Don't they at least have to pretend like they are not trying to get Luck?

I know they suck, but with some of their decisions and play in the 2nd half the Dolphins seem to be coming as close to throwing a game as you can in professional sports without doing it "intentionally."

Flabbibulin · 10-23-2011, 02:19 PM

that was incredible!

browna · 10-23-2011, 02:24 PM

Another blocked FG by Seattle, but Whitehurst can't do anything. A drop on 3rd down, another bad PI call on the offense on 4th down making it 4 and 15 instead of first down. That was the game, with 2 to go.

A last minute defensive headbutt gave Cleveland a first down and sealted the game.

That said, Whitehurst looked like garbage, no Lynch hurt, but he couldn't do anything.Not sure why the no huddle, which works last year.

Whitehurt had the ball 17 minutes of the 60 minutes, and did nothing with it.

That all said again, the pathetic garbage punt return penalty call may well have made this a 10-6 Seattle win in a truly forgettable game for both teams.

KTown · 10-23-2011, 02:27 PM

YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The Suck for Luck is still intact, my dolphins had me worried but I knew they would somehow not dissapoint!
SUCK FOR LUCK!!!!!!!
