2010 NFL Season

[Lights Out]

And here I thought icing the kicker was just a myth and it never really worked.

Does the Redskins' QB know that an NFL game can end in a tie?

OT in Washington. Schaub (my fantasy QB) is putting on a show, with 425 yards, 3 TDs, and a pick.

WE DON'T CARE!!!

My fantasy team was an afterthought in that post. But seriously, crazy game, and Schaub is awesome

If I was the Skins kicker I think I would go over to Kubiak and beat the outta him with my helmet after that sequence.

Someday (if it hasn't happened already) some idiot coach is going to pull that stunt and the kicker will miss the FG that ends up not counting and making the next one.

Schaub hits Dreesen deep in Redskins territory. Looks like Curty won't have to endure a tie. (I'm with you on that by the way. The NFL needs to rework OT and eliminate any possibility of a tie. )

That was spot-on.

[Lights Out]

Texans win.

[PurpleRush]

And that's why you're the Redskins.

Already happened to Shanahan, the man who pretty much started that trend, when he was with the Broncos. Also, I think I remember seeing in a college game this year. Pitt vs. Utah, I think. the kicker nailed it, but a timeout was called. Then the kicker missed it, but a timeout was called. Then the kicker nailed it to tie the game.

That Cardinals loss was painful. It's going to be a long season...

Meanwhile... The Seahawks crap the bed again in Denver yet again. Nothing new for them since Denver and Kansas City were the two place the 'Hawks could never win at in the old days.

Now, the Chargers come in. Which will show up though: Will they see the team that ripped apart Jacksonville today or will the team that crapped out in the steady rain in Kansas City be there next week.

The simplest solution would be to eliminate the game clock and just play until somebody scores if the NFL must keep sudden death.

The fairest solution would be to eliminate sudden death and play an 8-minute overtime period and rinse and repeat if the score is still tied at the end of the period.

The simplest and fairest solution would be to eliminate any overtime whatsoever. If two teams play for an entire football game and have the same score, why wouldn't we judge those teams as being equal on that day and give them a tie? Any way you do overtime, you're still forcing a team that played every bit as well as its opponents for 60 minutes to take a loss.

This is the way it works in most sports leagues outside the U.S., and it seems to work just fine.

And that is why the U.S. is the best country. 1-1 draw in a soccer game, cool sport.

Now THESE are the Jets we all expected this year!

For being banged up, the Jets D is bringing it -- and the offense actually mixed in a few passing plays this time around.

Good win for the Jets, but I have a question for you. What's up with their play-by-play guy and his repeated hyperbole? I listened to Sirius on the way home from work and at one point he referenced the mon-u-MEN-tal game (it's Week 2 for God's sake). Another example was when they went to commercial as the refs reviewed a possible Jets interception, the guy says, "Just an unbeLIEVably important decision here. We'll be back after this." No, my friend, an unbeLIEVably important decision is whether that SWAT sniper can nail the nut holding a gun to a hostage's head without getting the hostage killed. Maybe my non-New York-market ears just aren't used to such drama in a mere football game.

Please stop. One Tank is enough on these boards.

I am really starting to think that the NFC West collectively is far worse than anyone could have imagined going into the season. I'm definitely in the "7-9 or 6-10 could win the division" camp.

Because unlike Europeans, our paying customers demand a result that is different than both teams walking away with the general effect of never having played in the first place.

Sounds like someone's been stealing from Jim Rome...or Frank Caliendo's impression of Jim Rome.

I think the Jets have Ian Eagle doing their radio pbp, who is of the Marv Albert school of emphasis.
