Unfortunately on the previous drive, they had to burn one because Norwood couldn't get up after a big hit. Damn you injury timeouts!!!

Grr, I was looking pretty good until the ref's blown call gave Westbrook another TD and now it's dicey for me this week in FF.

Carolina is 6-2 going into a bye week. Perhaps I overreacted a little after their bad loss vs Minnesota early in the year in saying that they wouldn't make the playoffs and Fox would be fired.
After the bye, their next 2 games are Oakland and Detroit. |

Yep perhaps a bit of a overreaction. But the season is only half-over. Looks like a nice stretch for them for sure though. |

So I figured I'd hear multiple Bettis/Jacobs comparisons. But I haven't heard even one yet?

All they really need to do is get rid of the timeouts part of the rule. Only having 2 challenges per game (+1 if you have 2 successful challenges) is enough to keep teams from abusing it. There's really no reason at all to tie challenges to timeouts. EDIT: Actually, I can see how a team could abuse it by calling a few challenges late in games in order to get a few free timeouts. Perhaps just extending it to 5 minutes in the 4th quarter to booth reviews would solve that. Last edited by sabotai : 10-26-2008 at 03:59 PM. |

That was a terrible leading with the helmet call on the Giants safety. It was obvious he led with the shoulder and couldn't stop. The Giants are going to regret it later if they can't punch it into the endzone when they have the chance.

The call wasn't leading with the helmet, it was the receiver was defenseless.

So, you're playing at home after a bye, your opponent is missing its star TE and coming off of an ugly week of staph infection allegations, and they're not that good anyway. So what do you do? You're freakin' blowing the game?
Way to go, JAX. You're going to cost me both of my betting sheets this week, because you, the possessor of the easiest call of the week, couldn't nut up and get a win. You suck, Del Rio.

Anyone have Ty Law on speed dial?
The Steelers have about 5 DBs left. Total. And two of them are Ty Carter and Anthony Smith.

I don't think the NYG-PIT game is ever going to end. 3 hours into the game and there's still most of the 4th quarter to play.

Never mind, Ike Taylor is back in.
Maybe Brandon Jacobs should worry more about being able to run straight ahead 3 feet than talking shit to Ike Taylor while his laying on the ground injured.

so I just got back from the bar and watching the Giants game. The officiating was some of the worst I have ever seen. How many times can a Steelers DB get a handfull of Giants jersey in the endzone and not get called?

I don't mind being wrong. I have become pretty anti-John Fox the last few seasons and am ready to see a change in the coaching philosophy at Carolina, so I'm very quick to turn against him when Carolina can't run the ball, plays shitty defense, the play calling is bad, or the players are making mental mistakes, even in short stretches when overall things aren't that bad. |

The Steelers got away with a ton. But I could ask the same about the number of times, especially in the first half, that Woodley or Harrison had McKenzie or Diehl beaten outside only to be grabbed...and not called. But I agree. They'll let all those go, then call the one on Kevin Boss where, even without the hold, Woodley is about 3 yards from (I think) Ward on that screen.

So did Vernon Davis deserve to be embarrassed by Mike Singletary today? Or did Mike just kill his chances of being a head coach?

Absolutely (i.e., deserved to be embarrased). "I will not tolerate players that think it's about them when it's about the team," Singletary said. "We cannot make decisions that cost the team, and then come off the sideline and it's nonchalant. No. ... I'd rather play with 10 people and just get penalized all the way until we have to do something else rather than play with 11 when I know that right now that person is not sold out to be a part of this team." Whatever that means but former players like the great Singletary shouldn't have to put up with immature jerks like Davis. |

I hope Singletary also points out Davis' hustle to the other guys during film review (on the Wilson interception return). He nearly got Wilson before the end zone and given the current state of Seattle's offense that could have kept 4 points off the board. No excuse for what Davis did later, but fair is fair.

I was in a huge RB bind between injuries and bye weeks, and had to start Kevin Faulk and Tim Hightower. They both scored TDs and provided the winning margin. I'm not used to getting the breaks.

Just read in the Pittsburgh paper that there was one less ref, the back judge, for the game yesterday which would explain some of it.

Singletary definitely has Denny Green type blowup potential. I can't wait.

Looking more and more like the Chiefs are going to sign Culpepper to a multi-year contract. Probably a good thing for the Chiefs overall, but as a Tyler Thigpen fan its a bit of a bummer. He should get to start this week against Tampa at least.

Thomkal I went kite-flying yesterday afternoon and missed it, how did Tyler Thigpen finish the game? I know he was doing really well through about 3 and a half quarters.

I didn't actually see the game, just kept track of it on NFL.com and a Chiefs blogsite, but sounds like they got conservative with his game plan and began missing more in the second half. He actually did quite well other than getting sacked twice (one called back due to penalty) in the final drive with a minute to play. Got them down to the 30 yard line or so then tried a pass on 4th and 1 that I believe was defended against. So not sure if it was a good pass or not. Can't believe they didn't try to run him over to the sideline with his speed he should have been able to get a yard before going out of bounds. Tony Gonsalez said after the game that no one was expecting him to do that well. Apparantly Bowe said during the week that he thought Thigpen would do well and it did look like he was developing a chemistry with both Bowe and Gonsalez. |

Even so, they blew the challange on the 4th and 1 where they said Jacobs wasn't in, the overhead shot showed clearly he was in, and the personal foul on Phillips was an absolut crock that was on third down and it gave the Steelers a first down. I'm not trying to sound bitter because the Giants won and at times Big Ben looked lost and I think for now we can put to bed who the best QB drafted that year was ( I honestly think that question can't be answered until their careers are over). But my god, there were some really bad calls/ missed calls. Last edited by Lathum : 10-27-2008 at 12:05 PM. |

This probably got lost because of the more well-known Mike Singletary interview, but this sideline report is a must watch.

I agree Quote:
I agree again. At this point something just isn't working. People around here are talking about Bob Sanders coming back and saving the defense, but as far as I can tell he was apart of the Bears disaster to start the season. It is just hard to put a finger on it. Injuries aside, they are managing to be outplayed EVERY week. Hard to imagine this team turning it around at this point. I really think there is some kind of Manning injury that isn't being released. At this point it is going beyond O-Line problems and a lack of practice. We are 7 games into the season and Manning had plenty of time to throw tonight. Something just isn't right. Barring a turn around out of nowhere at this point I expect this could be an interesting off season here in Indy. |
