So Carolina puts together a great 10 minute drive to go up 7-0 on the Colts, solid defense to hold Manning 3 and out... then the punt returner tries to field a punt that was shanked a bit and rolling down the field, fumbles, and the colts get the ball at the Carolina 20. Way to fucking go.

Adrian Peterson with a very bad decision on the opening kickoff of the 2nd half that should have Minnesota starting on their 1 (it's being reviewed right now.)

Reactions from the crowd:
The Dolphins look like a bunch of wankers out there. These lad's can't play football. Grab your cardigan, this game is bullocks. |

I dunno what needs to change, but something in Cincinnati needs to change asap. With the talent this team has there is no excuse for the pathetic performance they put on the feild.
Color me sick of not reaching potential. |

Let me add to that the fact that this pittsburgh team is NOT that good. They are beatable, very beatable at that. But you have to have a clue how to play any recognizable form of defense to beat anyone and bresnahan can't seem to get these guys to do that.

The only good thing about the Little Giants and Dolphins game is that maybe games will stay in the US. Both of these teams are just awful, a truly horrible display of American football. Hopefully nobody will want us back, and we can end this "get out to the world" nonsense.

Nothing like a good Giants-Dolphins game to rouse the interest of the international community. The next time I hear someone say that soccer is boring compared to American football, I'm going to gag.

How are you Steelers fans feeling about your new coach at 5-2 so far? Or is it just one of those cruise control gigs right now?

I refuse to believe that the Lions could actually be 5-2.
It just isn't possible. |

Has Tom Brady decided he wants the single season rushing TD record now, too?
SI

Vrabel now with 10 completions for 10 touchdowns in his career
Brady's tied his season high for TD's in week 8

The fake spike strikes again!
edit: That gives Randy Moss the Patriots record for most TD receptions in a season.

Quick heads up for future Pats opponents: Belichick has a rule that Brady must be involved in every TD New England scores. Why teams don't just play nickel all game is beyond me. Heck, if I was playing the Pats, I would put 8 DBs out there and force Bill to run the ball 40 time and I still think he would try and throw near the red zone.

They spent the first series running it right up their gut. I almost think you have to hope you catch them having an off game.

The pats have 35 offensive TDs, 29 are passing (and 1 is a Brady keeper). That's Brady being involved in 85% of the offensive TDs. Play nickel/dime and protect against the sneak inside the 5. Now, NE will probably still beat you, but I think it atleast makes them change what they (want to) do to run it all game. That said, NE is an amazing team this season and I think it will take some creative defensive thinking (and luck) to beat them.

Playing nickel/dime doesn't mean it will automatically stop anything.

1. All the extra DBs make blitz pickups tougher and conjest the passing lanes to the main options. 2. that Belichick is arrogant enough to still pass and not completely change and run the ball 50 times when you only have 4-5 DL/LBs out there. Again, this isn't a great option and you will probably still lose. But, at this point, I would rather lose to a 150-200 yard effort by Maroney/Faulk and 3 TDs by Heath Evans than 400 yards and 3 TDs by Brady, Moss, Welker and co. At a minimum, you are making Bill go away from his top playmakers. |

Wow, I think Laveranues Coles just got very hurt on a hit in the back from a DB.
edit: He's walking off on his own. Looks like I jumped the gun on it...that was one of the loudest hits (in a non-head on encounter) that I've heard in awhile. Last edited by Logan : 10-28-2007 at 05:21 PM. |

Colts appears to have started slow in a few games this season. If they start slow again next week, they could be behind 24-6 by halftime.

Any predictions on what the opening line is going to be for the Patriots/Colts game?
Even with the game in Indy, I can see the Patriots favored by atleast a touchdown.

The thing is, as the AFC championship showed, they can make that up quickly. as for the line, I'd have to say pick em or the Colts by a small amount. "To be the man, you have to beat the man."

Was thinking 4 points (same area as Cronin), which is massive given that the Colts are Super Bowl champs, undefeated in November, and playing at home.

...... 38-0, and he goes for it on 4th and short in the red zone with a QB Sneak? Apparently we are trying to give Karma a donkey punch and hope that it can't hit us back.
