NFL Week 6

Jas_lov · 10-12-2008, 12:21 PM

Peyton Manning just threw a bomb to Marvin Harrison. Ravens are struggling to get a 1st down.

Cringer · 10-12-2008, 12:24 PM

Jets had 25 chances to get a TD and after getting 3 of them they finally got one that counted.

Goes Falcons and Lions!

Neuqua · 10-12-2008, 12:30 PM

Matt Ryan looks real good.

Cringer · 10-12-2008, 12:30 PM

I am becoming a big Matt Ryan fan, except when he beats the Packers.

Alan T · 10-12-2008, 12:35 PM

Finally getting to watch the Falcons on tv for once. Loving how Matt Ryan looks so far this game. I was skeptical about a rookie QB, but he is winning me over. The offensive line needs to get a little more cohesion though it seems. The Bears are looking like the Bears of old.. Pretty ok defense, but no offense.

Northwood_DK · 10-12-2008, 12:50 PM

It's fun watching the Dolphins today. Already got a long TD run and another from the wildcat formation.

Cringer · 10-12-2008, 12:52 PM

I see the Twins have the lead on the Tigers, 2-0.

JonInMiddleGA · 10-12-2008, 12:52 PM

So, who had Patrick Cobbs in their starting lineup today?
2 catches, 2 TD's, 133 yds

I simply don't see how it's so hard to defense a RB getting a direct snap.

MJ4H · 10-12-2008, 01:09 PM

Do you think that is what is difficult about the wildcat package to defend?

Its the fact that the offense has the same number of bodies to block as the defense that makes the difference, not the person being snapped to.

JonInMiddleGA · 10-12-2008, 01:18 PM

Hanson hits a 3 run shot to give the Tigers a 3-2 lead over the Twins.

MJ4H · 10-12-2008, 01:26 PM

ISiddiqui · 10-12-2008, 01:31 PM

I will say that on draft day I was hoping for Glenn Dorsey and then Brian Brohm with the 2nd pick as the starting QB. But I'm ecstatic with Ryan right now and am glad the Falcons didn't do what I wanted on draft day!!

The 1st round picks of Ryan and Baker (who has been key to solidifying the OLine) have been brilliant. In Dimitroff, they have a great GM. And I really like what Mike Smith is doing as HC.

It may be a few years before the team is a playoff contender, but it's a great foundation.

DaddyTorgo · 10-12-2008, 01:35 PM

Matt Ryan - making BC proud!

Cringer · 10-12-2008, 01:48 PM

Atlanta just does the direct snap to a RB for a nice gain. Very nice.

ISiddiqui · 10-12-2008, 01:49 PM

LOL, Falcons borrow the "Wildcat"

Nicely done.

DaddyTorgo · 10-12-2008, 01:52 PM

if the falcons had slightly better WR/OL (or just a little more cohesion) all these drives wouldn't be stalling out

Radii · 10-12-2008, 01:52 PM

Tampa is looking good, and Carolina is making too many mistakes. Tampa returned a blocked punt for a TD, Carolina fails to get a TD after 1st and goal, and Delhomme has two INT's. Other than a 48 yard pass to steve smith, there really isn't much positive for Carolina so far today. 17-3, if the offense could wake up it could still turn around quick, but bleh.

Isn't the Wildcat formation just a variant of the old double wing that has been around longer than I have?

I don't think the WR have been the problem on too many plays. The OL is a bit weak and doesn't work well together on some plays. Mainly they just seem to have issues in the red zone today and that partially is the Bears are stopping the run for the most part fairly well.

Cringer · 10-12-2008, 02:04 PM

There sure seems to be a lot of Bears fans in Atlanta.

MJ4H · 10-12-2008, 02:08 PM

The Wildcat formation:

http://www.coachwyatt.com/wildcat.html

It was brought to the forefront recently in college by Gus Malzahn, OC for Arkansas in 2006 with Darren McFadden taking the snap and frequently Felix Jones in motion. David Lee joined the Arkansas staff and borrowed it and used it extensively for Arkansas over the course of the following season, and took it with him to Miami.

agreed that it has been the bears d stopping the run, but there have also been a couple missed chances where they might not have been quite on the same page.

there was also that shitty "ineligable receiver downfield" shit call (sure the call was right, i just think it's a pretty weak infraction most of the time) that negated a td

Buccaneer · 10-12-2008, 02:19 PM

Just caught the last parts of the latest Falcons scoring drive and I, too, am very impressed with Matt Ryan.

very shitty call. The lineman was going for a block low and missed, he was off balance and basically just fell forward. He was laying on the ground by himself and somehow that gives Atlanta and advantage? Very weak penalty most of time IMO as well.

cmp · 10-12-2008, 02:31 PM

Horrible call in the Lions game. CJ was clearly down and refs called a fumble. Lions challenge and somehow it doesn't get overturned.

cmp · 10-12-2008, 02:35 PM

Well at least Detroit blocked the field goal.

Not to mention Calvin got killed and is probably done for today.

But they just did block the Vikes FG to stay up 10-9.

was talking with my dad about this - we both feel it needs to be more of a judgment call, like offsides is in soccer now, where if the guy isn't giving an advantage to the play and isn't involved then it's not called

SirFozzie · 10-12-2008, 02:47 PM

Huge return on the kickoff for the Falcons. That'll just about do it if they get a FG

DeToxRox · 10-12-2008, 02:50 PM

on NFL.com it just showed the Dolphins with the ball ..

2nd and 47
on OWN 12

Is that real?

SirFozzie · 10-12-2008, 02:51 PM

wow. What a HORRIBLE FG kick

Jas_lov · 10-12-2008, 02:54 PM

The Falcons and Lions better not blow this. It would be a great start to the day if they could both hold on. How do you only score 9 points against the Lions at home?

You need to be more worried about your Packers winning then other teams losing.

cmp · 10-12-2008, 02:55 PM

Now a phantom pass interference call on Detroit. Horrible.

Lathum · 10-12-2008, 02:58 PM

Watching this Bengals final drive has been beyond painfull. I weep for their fans.

SirFozzie · 10-12-2008, 02:58 PM

:28 to play in the Falcons game, ball inside the Falcons 20

GrantDawg · 10-12-2008, 02:58 PM

Falcons about to lose a heart breaker. Just needed a gimme FG to put it away, and Automatic Elam missed it. Now the Bears are marching down the field.

GrantDawg · 10-12-2008, 03:00 PM

:18 3rd and 10

GrantDawg · 10-12-2008, 03:00 PM

And there it is. MF.

Jas_lov · 10-12-2008, 03:00 PM

I knew it. I knew they'd blow it like they always do. Both of them.

SirFozzie · 10-12-2008, 03:00 PM

That's gonna be reviewed

Cringer · 10-12-2008, 03:02 PM

Crap. That kind of ruins my day. A Packer loss will really kill it but this doesn't help.

DaddyTorgo · 10-12-2008, 03:03 PM

ugh - poor falcons
