Eh, he got knocked over by another Seahawk, I don’t think any of the Bengals made serious contact with him.
That BS pass interference call against Tre Flowers that Pete challenged was what really ticked me off. There was practically no contact, he was making a play on the ball. The defense stayed stout and forced them to kick a FG, so they finished well after that. But they should have won by 4 points, not 1.
Detroit can’t even snatch defeat from the jaws of victory, but tie the game they had already won.
Will the announcers please drop the company man propaganda bull shit that a team coming back in the fourth quarter to make up/nearly make up a ~20ish point deficit is a miracle? For Fucks sake every rule in the game is designed to make that happen, and it happens multiple times a week.
This is about the the Lions game. "Did anybody think the Cardinals had a chance at the start of the fourth " Yes, Every fucking body knew they did.
Geez, how bad is Dak Prescott that they had to bench him?
LALALALALALALA I CAN’T HEAR YOU!!!
How old is Brady again?
“He’s two-hundred and six!” - Someone In Monty Python, in reference to Mr. Neutron
42, we’re a month apart in age. He continues to shame me.
*That *was fun. The Pats usually struggle a bit in the early season, as the new guys get assimilated, and only then start to pull away. A 2-2 start, with questions about how Brady is finally losing it, is just normal on the way to a 12-4 record. But they’re playing the Fins, Jets, and Bills next, so no worries.
So… the Dolphins are clearly tanking, yes?
Is there anybody on their roster worth trading for?
All the Dolphins demanding to be traded need to remember they’re more tradable if they play well.
I like the comment where someone blames the Dolphins’ long-term mediocrity on changing the logo.
“u have cursed yourselfs by destroying Miami’s original logo”
Who knew it was that simple?
It’s more like cursing Flipper to CTE now that he isn’t wearing a helmet anymore.

Pretty epic ending to the MNF Saints/Texans game. For those who caught the ending I have a question on the last play of the game before the game winning kick.
Brees had to get them in field goal range so he hit a receiver who was around the 40 yard line. The receiver caught the ball and sat down with it. A defender then touched him to end the play and the Saints took an immediate time out with :02 on the clock.
Question is, if the defender never touched the receiver but instead let the clock run out to :00 then touched him or tackled him if he got up to run wouldn’t it have been game over?
No, the play is whistled dead as soon as the ball carrier gives himself up regardless if he’s touched or not. Same deal with a QB slide.
EDIT: I believe, but can’t confirm, that if you give yourself up but then get up and start running, it’s a penalty. Similar to calling for a fair catch and then running.
Week One and we may have already had the game of the year.
Both are correct, but it falls in the realm of referee’s judgement. On that specific play, if in the chaos, the ref didn’t identify the runner as “giving himself up” immediately the clock could have expired. Would probably have been smart of the defender to not touch him and push the choice into the hands of the ref. I also wouldn’t have been surprised if the runner got confused and got back up if he weren’t touched causing the clock to run.
As a footnote, that Raiders game was pretty entertaining too. Shocking to most that the Raiders weren’t a garbage fire, though maybe the Broncos will be…
