Worst 3-0 team in history. The Broncos have played one real opponent and only beat them by dint of the luckiest play of the decade.
Well do you have to shit all over EVERYTHING? Can’t a guy be happy for just a little while before his team has to start playing real teams next week?? :mad:
Bengals 23 Steelers 20.
I’m not good at coding tables, so I’ll just paste these stats form the Giants-Bucs game. The first number is the Giants:
First downs: 24 4
Total YDS: 397 86
Rushing YDS; 226 28 (yeah, that’s right!)
TOP: 43:38 16:22
I just don;t remember a performance as dominating as that. I didn’t get to watch, so I’d be curious to hear form someone who did. Was it as good as it seems?
Being a Bucs fan, I’ll say it was as horrible as it seems. Note that 51 of those total yards came on the Bucs’ final drive when Josh Johnson was in at quarterback. I think Leftwich might have set a new record for average yards per attempt - 22 yards on 7 of 16.
Obviously, we weren’t really the 4th-best offense in the league, and our top two playmakers (Antonio Bryant and Cadillac) were both hobbled by ankle injuries, but still.
Yeah, where’s Foie Gras is Evil? I expected him to already have posted the happy recap. Great last drive, despite the Bengals having to convert 2 4th downs; one for no reason, since Palmer spiked the ball with 47 seconds left at the 19 or so.
And the Limas Sweed drop of a sure TD (in fact, he had already caught it, but it came out as he landed) may signal some karma return off the Bengals’ hard-luck Week 1 loss.
I just wanted to mention that if someone wanted to make up a fake French name, they could not come up with a better one than “Pierre Garcon”.
That is all.
So, uh… go bengals.
I’m going to wear a bag over my head next week. Possibly not just when I go out to watch the game. Maybe home alone too. The shame runs deep.
I thought the Minnesota receiver’s foot touched the edge of the endzone line and was OOB.
How shameful would it be if I adopted another team? You know, for when my team’s season is over in the third quarter of week 1? Would it help if it’s from the other conference? I’ve always respected the Packers.
Yeah, no, I don’t think I could put my heart in it.
The first view they showed after the catch was a view from behind the play. His foot was definitely in-bounds.
I’m here. Thanks for the bounce that usually goes the Steelers way. I’ll take it, even if we are a supposed “paper tiger” in the eys of many. We got the lucky bounces, we won. Fuck the Steelers. Up next: Browns. I hop e it isn’t another 56-45 debacle where we lose. Lately Bengals v Browns have the potnetial to be weird like that…
Well, you might score ~50 points, but I think the other side of the equation may be missing.
How freakin’ horrible is the Browns’ tackling? Every time I see a Browns game highlight this season it involves at least two defensive backs whiffing on a tackle or taking an inexplicably poor angle on a runner.
The long touchdown catch-and-run by Derrick Mason today was just the latest example. How the hell does any defensive back not catch a 36 year old wideout who’s* in front of him?*
Don’t sweat it. My high school could beat the Browns, and they are 1 and 4.
Oh yeah, fuck you, Steelers fans. Justify it any way you wish, we are 2-1 and you are 1-2.
Damn, can you beat the Browns?
Whatever. They’ve allowed 16 points in three games. That’s pretty damned good (best in the league), even if the opponents in two of those three games were the Browns and the Raiders. I’m not saying they’re going 16-0, or even that they’re going to make the playoffs, but they’re playing well right now.
Heh. Peyton and the Colts could still win a game with those 16 minutes. That’s almost two more than they had last week vs. the Dolphins!
I apologize for this remark. Very, very, very drunk at the time.
Pffft, it wasn’t that bad.
Still…I like to smack talk as much as the next guy, but sometimes when I’ve been drinking I let it get too…personal, I guess.
I don’t want to be that guy.
And once more the Steelers snatch defeat from the jaws of victory.
Oh, well, it’s a long season. But dammit, that’s two games they had in the bag that they choked away. It makes me sick.
Steelers and Lions have the same record. Week 5 the Steelers are going down. Lions can end up 14 and 2.
