With Emmanuel Sanders and Julius Thomas gone to injuries, and the Broncos offense struggling, I think it’s pretty clear that Peyton Manning is just a product of his pass catchers.
Who’s the biggest bust, Cam or RG III
Eli Manning throws 5 interceptions today.
Really lackadaisical effort from the Saints today. Nobody really seemed to care that they were losing badly at home. Sad.
I HATE throwback uniforms, Green Bay looks worse than an underfunded Chicago Public School football team.
This is something I posted elsewhere today…
Why won’t they fix the ridiculous replay system? The spot was clearly off by by 1 yard, quite probably 1.5 yards, making the difference for a first down, or a 6 inch 4th down. They wait 3 minutes to start a replay, during which in which the Ref apparently decided to ignore reality for 3 more minutes. The NHL system is just so much better, the NFL stubbornness gets hard to take when it’s so freakin’ stupid.
This just in: Aaron Rodgers is pretty good.
Lions are getting dicked a lot on calls today.
I think the Lions got hosed on that punt ruling. If the Arizona player had held onto the ball as he fell backwards, would they have ruled he possessed it earlier, and it wasn’t a touchback?
I don’t know why Senor Beef called this NFL Week 11 in the thread title. It should be Week 1 BJG. For here-and-ever-after, NFL games will be delineated as Before Josh Gordon and After Josh Gordon.
The Packers v. Lions game in Week 5 AJG should be good.
He tried to throw in the towel in the 3rd quarter but missed.
Being able to kick the ball into the endzone on a kickoff so you can get a touchback seems like a bad rule. If the returning team kicks the ball on a punt, it’s a live ball. Don’t know why it’s different on kickoffs.
I’m no Pats fan, but that should be a safety. If that’s not the rule, it should be.
My stupid Bengals, and the bi-polar Andy Dalton decided to play today. No offense but it wasn’t so much the Saints playing poorly as it was the Bengals just firing on all cylinders. Defense played great, Dalton was good, tackling was excellent, etc. It just kinda fell all together.
And the Niners chowed down on them, running up the score … wait, umm …
I’m not sure I follow this. On a punt, once the returning team touches the ball (from a kick or whatever) the ball is live. The ball is always live on a kickoff; it doesn’t need to be touched first.
Ten yards beyond the tee: onside kick rule.
The topic is “if the returning team kicks the ball.” In such a case, there’s no 10-yard rule. The ball is live the moment it’s touched by the return team, even if it hasn’t traveled 10 yards.
However, fair point that it’s not “always live.”
You’re right.
What happened was that the ball was kicked somewhere around the 8 yard line. A player from the returning team moves towards it and apparently inadvertantly kicked the ball into the end zone, where someone from the receiving team jumped on it and it was called a touchback.
If a kick returner catches the ball at the 5, and then walks into the endzone and gets tackled, it’s a safety, right? So I don’t see why it would be any different here - a player on the receiving team caused it to go into the endzone.
