2009 NFL Thread, part 2

[Showtime]

Moss hasn't been the Patriots team in a while. The team went down in Houston with a busted knee. The Patriots looked weak sauce like they have all year against solid teams. I am just surprised they lost so badly at home. They deserved it. They needed a big kick in the nuts.

That was just....hideous. Our playcalling really, really hurt us. It was just terrible. Our d stepped it up but we just couldnt score. Brady had no time. No running back was in to do anything. I guess I didnt realize how hurt Moss as he was limping around the sidelines. And thats pretty much our team.

I think the whole Pats dynasty is done...

No it didn't. Welker doesnt do anything that is irreplaceable. Edleman was noticeably open on most of his underneath routes today too; Brady was just running for his life. They do the same thing every time. Moss hobbles his ass down field and bring the safety and a cb with him, and someone (usually welker) runs into the opened space and Brady throws to them. When your only wide receiver is hurt, and your slot receiver is out...perhaps 5 wr shot gun sets are not the best option?

Im sorry to steelers fans, the Pats are home to the worst OC in the NFL. No question. Even when Moss was fine he was underused.

Play calling killed them. This team had a lot of others to move the ball thren throwing 5 yard passes to Wes Welker on routes the defense doesnt cover. They just have had no idea how utilize them.

So.....did you give Bill the finger?

Bill O'Brien?

Nah. I wouldnt know him if I saw him. But the constant booing shoulda been a testement.

Damnit! 0-4 Bleh. Luckily that great offensive game wasn't ruined by Sudden Death OT, but instead topped off with a great defensive TD. I'd like to see the NFL keep their overtime the way it is with the exception that if the coin toss winner scores on their opening drive, then the opposing team gets one chance to match or best that score, and if they tie it, THEN it goes to sudden death.

Hells yes!



Best game I've seen the ravens play all year. Ray Rice was completely BEASTING the Pats (As he does to every team).

 

[Captain Planet!]

Edit: DP.

Also, I picked GB to win tonight, And those last two plays were ********. Instead of Arizona getting called for a helmet-to-helmet on the QB, The Packers get a 5 yards penalty for minor holding ? ********. And the last play of the game, The guy that caused the sack and fumble should have gotten called for a face mask. Some bullshee, mayne.

We must have been watching different games, because the Ravens/Patriots game I saw was AWESOME!

the better team (batimore) looked good....ray rice ran for 85 yds on the opening play...that set the tone right there

That was my favorite play of the year, No lie. Every time I see Ray Rice make a great play I'm amazed. Every I just see him standing next to everybody else on the team I'm amazed... Just look at it... It's ****ing ridiculous!

NFL overtime still sucks major ass.

Check out the front page of NFL.com

The Packers were ****ing robbed!

Apparently fans are pissed off in the forums because nfl.com pulled down the video of the final play.

 

[BlackLantern]

the packers were going to get knocked out the next round anyway...arizona at least stands a chance

AND Rodgers got hit helmet-to-helmet on the play before that, But the Packers got a 5 yard penalty because of holding.

If that happened to Tom Brady, the refs would have given the other team a 90-yard penalty and declared his team the automatic winner.

 

[Immortalfire]

Let the Pack screaming begin.

It's far better than what college football has

 

[Charlie The Red]

I'm not even a Packers fan and even I can admit that the officiating was lopsided against them the whole game.

 

[Captain Planet!]

I just don't like to see teams get cheated. It reminds of a team I'm a fan of.

College does it right. As do MLB, NBA and NHL.

 

[Kane52630]

imo it looks like a facemask

 

[BlackLantern]

the nfl could have a modified version of what college does....make it a full possession instead of the 25 yd line

 

[Addendum]

I don't follow the other major leagues. But if college football's overtime is supposed to be "right", then I want the NFL to stay wrong. Cause it's awesome to watch

 

[BlackLantern]

each team should get 1 possession...that would be right....the NBA has overtime periods, the NHL (during the regular season) has one OT period and then it goes to a shootout...MLB has extra innings (each team gets an at bat)
