I watched 5 games from last week. I can't believe how much I missed it. :cool:
I can't believe Baltimore is only giving Cleveland 6 1/2 at home. That's a two touchdown game.

They're shrinking it because it's a divisional game, but the performance against Denver didn't help, and Cleveland's D kept their opponent to something like 35 yards rushing last week.
I definitely think it's a bait spread at 6.5.
See, this is what's super annoying about the Patriots. We all know they're no fucking good. But they've got a division that makes the NFC East look legitimate by comparison, so they're going to cruise to ten or more wins and another division championship. Boo.
Sloppy, ugly, badly played game.
But some nice shots of the rain-drenched cheerleaders. :thumbsup:
Ugh...just watched the 1st half. Brady is slinging lasers and the rookies are dropping them all over the field. :bleeding:
2nd half was worse. :yuk:
Good thing the Defense showed up and the Jets were the Jets or we would have lost bad.

Yep, sloppy, ugly game by both sides. But the Patriots especially on offense have all the tools but can't get things going. This will be a long season if the offense can't get its act together. They have some good receivers but so far they and Brady are playing two different games.
Last year in comparison they averaged about 35 pts per game, the highest or about the highest in the league. They won't reach that this year, but offense will need to do a lot better if they're going to get far, as long as the defense is also reasonably sound.
Disagree. Pats have a couple C+ running backs, a bunch of Girl Scouts playing wideout, and no tight ends. Edelman was the only guy Brady looked like he trusted to catch the ball.
It's not even about catching the ball, it was about being able to run the right route.

Yep. When Gronkowski comes back it will help for a game or two, until he gets hurt again. But the Pats skill players are really young and medicore this year. They will win the division, because Brady and any one coudl win that division.

Their leading rusher from last year broke his wrist and is out until week 11 at least, and their top 5 receivers from last year are gone which means teams don't have to respect the pass much, at least until Gronkowski comes back.
Also last year doesn't mean shit.
Also, the Patriots suck and are gay.
Oh fuck. The Ravens resigned Tandon Doss? Why in the hell would they do that?
Hm. Texans - Titans. Flaming thumbtacks might be getting better.
Karma for Merriweather, sumbitch.
:hmm: This game isn't going well for Houston. It's not out of hand or anything at 10-7, but the Titans D is pretty stout.
TD Texans, and JJ Watt with a sack now, so that helps. 14-10 with Tenn punting.
The Shanahans are idiots.
What did Leatherface and son do this time?
I'm playing against Aaron Rodgers in 2 leagues this week.
Holy shit the Titans can't get out of their own way. Three penalties on this drive now, plus getting stuffed for losses on the two plays that have actually been run has put them inside their own 1 yar
That's a safety THROW THE FLAG THROW THE FLAG Bah they wont be able to overturn that I was wrong. Wooo safety! 16-10 now.

I'm playing him in the one that counts. :yeah:
Something weird just happened. Houston punted, dude ran down and tossed it back out of the endzone to prevent the touchback, Titans player inexplicably tried to catch it, then a bunch of Houston players dove on it thinking it was their ball. Instead, they called Illegal Touching and gave the ball to Tennessee on the 1. :huh: They didn't say a number, but I assume it was on the dude who ran down and knocked it backwards to prevent the touchback, since everything else was happening around the 5 or so.
E: Oooohhhh illegal touching on the Titans player, because he was OOB and came back in. Okay. Or...wait...they're talking about throwing it back? Oh okay, so they have the option of taking the ball where dude first touched it, which they would because otherwise it's a turnover. Or something.
Well that didn't matter either way because the Texans D just gave up a 99 yard TD drive to cough up the lead. :bleeding:
Ah so that's even better! Two sacks, then the rookie WR just sort of runs away from the ball when Schaub throws it to him for an easy pick 6 (he just sort of ran upfield and was waving for the ball while the DB was busy catching it). :lol: :bleeding:
Wow. That was a huge miscommunication between Schaub and his receiver.
That was really weird. You could see him waving that he was open while the DB was catching it.
Andre Johnson and Arian Foster save the day, at least for now. With the big catch, a TD run, and a 2pt conversion run.
Hope Johnson is okay. :(
Jesus Christ, Bullock. 0/3 in FGs now.

Oh shit he caught that! Hopkins is making up for the possible mistake earlier. Hell, he already made up for it and is back to being cool.
Nice win by the Texans. Thus always to fuckheads who ice kickers.
Hey nice, Hopkins got the game winning TD catch after all.
One hour lightning delay in NO@TB and counting.
I'm jealous of the Giants kicker. He makes field goals, while the one on my favorite team doesn't. :(

Hey, Neil; did you see how Ed Dickson was the target on the very first pass play, didn't make the catch, and Flacco never threw to him again for the rest of the day?
Telling.
Out my window I can see some dudes setting up tailgates. There's gonna be some drunk-ass mofos tonight. Prime-time games are the times I don't miss sitting in the stands.
That's just silly. Even when I was 18, I couldn't handle tailgating that long.

Yeah, he's done.
And was Clark on the field again after he got laid out? It seems to me that Flacco has a lot of doubt right now about a lot of guys. Flacco's a guy who throws balls to guys he trusts. When he started, pretty much the only guys who caught balls were Mason, Heap and Rice. Last year was paradise with both Boldin and Pitta who could catch anything, and now he's got nobody like that. Especially if Rice's hip has him missing time.
Honestly, when Smith and Brown dropped those two touchdowns in the first half, I was wondering what the hell. And Tucking missing two kicks was weird too. Why is it that every year the Ravens are retarded in Week 2? At least Pierce was able to batter his way through the Browns.

:rolleyes: A cheese coney is a short hot dog with chili and shredded mild cheddar piled high. You may optionally add onions and/or mustard.
Funny thing is that it's not as much cheese as it appears to be. If you let it melt down it doesn't look like much.
I missed it, but I was apparently in a shot they did at Findlay Market yesterday afternoon for Monday Night Countdown. I was carrying Lola, walking around aimlessly, looking for the gelato stand. Had a couple people tell me at the game & also got a couple texts. I remember seeing the camera down there-- just didn't pay much attention for it because I was trying to find my kids their damned ice cream.
Wish I had recorded that & not just the game.
Great, when I play the recording, I'm gonna be looking for a chick eating a coney.
Quote from: ulmont on September 16, 2013, 08:43:43 PM

The coney and chili/spaghetti are two separate things. The chili is usually called a "3-way", meaning it has spaghetti, Cincinnati chili, and shredded mild cheddar. Add onions or beans and it's a 4-way. Add both and it's a 5-way.
Gold Star Chili is doing a seasonal coney now that uses tiny little bratwurst links, sauerkraut, chili, spicy mustard, and cheese. It's interesting.
It's disgusting.

No, room temperature ;)
NFL halftimes are the shortest 12 minutes ever. We have just enough time to run from the field into the tunnel, and sneak into the field media room to make our own coneys (they have spaghetti there, but who has time for a 3-way??), scarf a couple down while standing in the hallway, then run back to the sideline. Second half is indigestion time.
You would think with all the ads they shoved between plays, the networks could get the NFL extend the halftime to 18-19mins.

They want players wearing the same helmet all year.
Hmm, I see equipment guys adjusting helmets all game. Not sure this will make much of a difference. Maybe the NFL just wants to show that it's "doing something" to prevent concussions.

I'm not especially surprised to see the allegedly improved Browns tanking their season after two losses. There's a reason that they've been irrelevant since they came back.
Poor Brandon Weeden. You can tell he was a pitcher; doesn't throw the football as much as he winds up and pitches it. An incredibly slow delivery. Worse than Josh Heupel's.

Well, the new owner was supposed to fix that. Then again, I would imagine that the team is pretty much on autopilot, what with Haslam's day job getting pounded in the ass by the Feds.
I suppose they need more draft picks to improve, and the only real chips they have to trade are Richardson and Joe Thomas. And maybe Joe Haden. An awesome tackle is priceless, while running backs grow on trees.
