Well, they put 44 on the Lions. I think that line is more a function of the Texans pass rush and Schaub's ability to score at will.
So Seedy, which do you think was more critical in getting the real refs back? Was it the embarrassing Monday Night fiasco or was it the Sunday Night loss of the Patriots, when the new refs forgot that the Patriots are supposed to win?
I think the final straw was the impact it had on the Green Bay game, because while there have been plenty of screw-overs, this screw-over happened specifically to the home team.
I don't think the NFL wants to risk civil unrest again.
If that Ravens kick at the end of the game had been in New England, it would've been called wide right, of course.
I think that the Seahawks were the home team. Our Languishite in Washington State was at the game.

Very good point, I can think of a few NFL cities were that type of call could lead to some very destructive soccer-like behavior.
It's a weekend of good match-ups, though. Looks like I'll be planted in front of the TV on Sunday from noon onwards. I'm fairly sure that I can find an afghan to crochet while I watch so I can at least feel productive. :hmm:

Late on the post, I know, but damn that intro song is awful.
There's now way the Ravens cover the spread tonight. Browns or no Browns, 3 games in 18 days? 4 days removed from that emotional slobber knocker against the Pats?
Shit, my ass is tired just watching it.

I didn't see a challenge flag there. WTF?
Man, that was almost as gutsy as Schaub, walking off the field under his own power. Whew.
They shouldn't even consider letting him back in the game after that shot, though. Talk about concussed.

I really don't think they're as far away from being truly competitive as you might think. I think they need serious help at wide receiver, and I think they need some help on the defensive line and a true marquee linebacker, but they've got a solid offensive line and a nice centerpiece in the secondary when he's healthy. They just need to decide what kind of identity they want from their QB.
Personally, I thought with the proper coaching and guidance and enough talent at WR they could win with Colt McCoy and his "intangibles", but hey. But Richardson will go a long way in creating a solid offensive identity for them in the meantime.

Yep. They outplayed the Bengals by many/most measures in week 2 (difference in the game was Pacman's punt return TD). They have potential. Just sucks for them they're in the AFC North.

Yeah, the one where Flacco got the double-whammy. 5 on 3, creamed by 2 of them at once. Embarrassing.
You know, it's a sad state of affairs when that's a personal foul.
Eh. He got him in the helmet while he was still catching the ball. They're not going to let that go ever again.

Well, the Texans just ruined Jake Locker's day.
Man, Buffalo can't buy a break in New England. I thought going low against a QB and twisting him into a doggie treat was a flag. Oh wait, Fitzpatrick /= Brady. Yeah, NFL Properties got their refs back, alright.

Why would you think that? Of course you can leg tackle a QB. Just can't put your shoulder into his knee.
Cool. 38-14 Texans final.
The switched over to the Bills - Patriots game, and New England is apparently still heaving the ball around with a two TD lead and like 4:00 left? What's that all about?
Bellicheat is a classless fuck.
The Falcons are in FG range already if they don't fuck this up.

Glover Quin hit him with the blindside safety blitz, which nobody picked up. At the same time, JJ Watt beat the tackle like a rented mule and so Locker got double hit. Looks like he either broke his finger or wrist or hurt his shoulder. It wasn't an especially an awkward landing.

It got cute in the end, but I hate forced regional coverage of the Redskins. And I hate the fucking Redskins for being forced to watch them for 12 fucking years.
You know how you were forced to eat stuff you hated as a kid but The Powers That Be made you eat it anyway? It was kinda like that, except with Mark Rypien's pockmarked fuckface. Fuckers.
So the Redskins = Brussels sprouts. Except worse because of Mark Rypien. Right on.
What always made that shit worse was missing the the late season match-ups that were affecting the playoffs.
San Francisco at Green Bay in week 14, with home field advantage on the line? STAY TUNED FOR AN NFC EAST MATCHUP AS 3-10 ARIZONA VISITS THE WASHINGTON REDSKINS!!! :bleeding:
It's like that here with the Cowboys and now the Texans since they've gotten reasonably good (and enough people were getting pissed about their games not being on locally). If either one of those are playing, that's the game that is on.
The other, less annoying feature of regional coverage is if the Ravens aren't on, CBS is convinced that we must all naturally be interested in the nearest AFC North match up at the moment, like, oh, I don't know, Cleveland and Cincinnati in week 16 when playoffs are on the line elsewhere. Ugh.

The more the Saints lose, the greater the chance that somebody puts a shiv in that fucker during the Superbowl week.

It's like that here with the Cowboys and now the Texans since they've gotten reasonably good (and enough people were getting pissed about their games not being on locally). If either one of those are playing, that's the game that is on.
I get Seahawks games as my "local" team :yawn:

Yeah well I always got the 6-9 Texans game as my AFC game. Someday we will all have NFL ticket.

Hey now. I have nothing but contempt for the BC Lions. My wife often says that everything in the CFL is either a penalty or a rouge, and she doesn't care to find out which is which. That said, at least the Lions have a title.
Hey, didn't the Seahawks go to a title game that they then proceeded to lose in a legitimately officiated contest? :P

One day the league will come to its senses, and knock it off with that satellite monopoly and offer it to all carriers. I don't know why they ignore the countless dollars in potential revenue that way.
Hell, even PPV options would rake in God knows how many millions a season, even if it meant pissing off the networks.

They NFL was forbidden to offer it exclusively to anyone in Canada. If only you guys had a government that wasn't so corrupt, you could have some regulations too.

Not quite. After all, a Grey Cup means you're the best at something. A Conference championship means you're second-best.

Taught the Bills a lesson in getting all uppity and daring to lead the Patriots at halftime, dropping 31 points on them in the 4th quarter, still throwing for the end zone with 4 minutes left and kicking field goals with a minute left.
At least he won't have to talk to the Boston media about whether the Patriots are imploding.
"Yeah, we're in the worst division in football. There's not a single team here that I would pick to win against an Arena League all-star team. We have the easiest schedule in the league. At this point, we're just coasting. The real season for us starts in January."
I noticed a commercial on nfl network a show about the '95 Browns season. I assume it'll paint bellifuck in glowing terms.

Of course. It's going to be the football equivalent of the '94 Expos ZOMG WHUD COULD'VE BEEN
Never mind the fact that Belichick had alienated most of the fans and the team, and showed how brilliant he was in trying to make Vinny Testaverde a franchise quarterback and begging Art for Andre Rison.
Looking forward to the revisionist history. I wonder if Tony Grossi, Bill Livingston and that cunt Mary Kay Cabot will be in it.

Yeah. I can almost look the other way on the last TD. They ran on 1st & 2nd downs. Then on third down you want to call a pass play to retain possession. I'm not going to tell Brady only to throw to the short routes if he sees an opportunity in the endzone.
But kicking the FG inside of 2 minutes when you're already up by 21 and the other team has no timeouts left. You definitely don't do that.
It sometimes bugs me a little that Marvin Lewis is a bit too deferential if the Bengals have a big lead late in the game, but then again I'd be embarrassed if my coach insisted on running up the score like Bellicheck likes to do*.

:lol: I was in Cleveland at the Vikings game that same day; even though Sam Wyche made his "You don't live in Cleveland" zinger the week before, watching the scoreboard roll like an odometer on the Oilers had the stadium rocking every time it flashed. Fucking Glanville.
Probably the coldest I'd ever been. 1 degree at kickoff--and then the sun promptly went down over the stadium. Fuck, was that a cold fucking day.

Man I miss Sam Wyche and Boomer and those guys. In so many ways the real NFL will always be how things were in 1990 but I think that is true for alot of people. Somehow how things were when you were 13 seem eternal.

Colts coach Chuck Pagano battling leukemia
- Indianapolis Colts Head Coach Chuck Pagano will undergo four to six months of treatment, including chemotherapy, to treat acute promyelocytic leukemia, the team announced in a press conference Monday morning.
While Pagano is anxious to return, Colts owner Jim Irsay conceded the battle with this disease will be a marathon and the coach isn't expected to return in a regular full-time capacity this season.
"It is unlikely he will be all in as a head coach this season," Irsay said.
The outlook from Larry Cripe of Indiana University Health Simon Cancer Center is promising. APL or APML is considered one of the more curable forms of the disease with a high percentage for remission.
"I am optimistic," Irsay said. "I feel with every fiber in my body, and I know Chuck feels the same way, that he can beat this thing."
Added general manager Ryan Grigson, in repeating words uttered by Irsay, "Chuck is a fighter."
Pagano, who turns 52 on Tuesday, met with Cripe on Wednesday and was admitted to the hospital Wednesday night.
The goal is to cure the disease, but Cripe added, "The process is long and complicated and we're just starting right now."
According to an Indiana University Health release, most adults with this disease achieve remission. A small percentage of about 1,300 adults diagnosed each year die from complications and a few do not respond to initial therapy, the news release reported.
If Pagano achieves remission, he could continue receiving therapy for as much as two years, according to a Indiana University Health.
As requested by Pagano, offensive coordinator Bruce Arians has been named interim coach.
"Today is about Chuckie," an emotional Arians said.
Irsay met with the team and gave them the news this morning.
The Colts host Green Bay at 1 p.m. ET Sunday. Irsay said he couldn't think of anything better than to take a game ball from a Packers win to Pagano in the hospital.
"He's upbeat and he's ready for the fight," Irsay said. "He's tough as nails. He's in great spirits."
:(

Quote''I just don't like Jerry Glanville,'' Sam Wyche, the Bengals' coach, said of the Oilers' coach. Wyche chased Glanville for a word or two after this demolition. Glanville kept running for his team's exit, so Wyche simply stood and waved, and waved, and waved.

My only regret is that I didn't watch even more football back then.
The AFC Central in the mid- to late-80s was where it was at, man. Boomer, Bubby, Bernie and Warren. Sounds like a doo-wop group.
You know, the Seahawks are one of the best teams in football in a lot of categories - run offense, defense, special teams - but are last in passing offense. It's time for the Russell Wilson experiment to be over for this year.
Texans injuries from the Titans game:
Safety Quentin Demps broke his forearm, had surgery, and will obviously miss some time, but isn't done for the season.
RG Antoine Caldwell got rolled up at some point during the game, but got out of it with only an ankle sprain, and might still be able to make the trip for the Jets game.
Ben Tate hurt his toe somehow. No news on that, other than he missed practice today and is getting x-rays.
E: Oh also the backup to Demps, Shiloh Keo or whatever his name is, hurt his shoulder but practiced today.

Did you see/hear John Clayton's stat that in the last 8 games Schaub has played (4 this year, 4 last) the Texans are 8-0 and won by a combined 160 points, 20 per game. When they are right they are absolutely dominating.

Yeah I saw that. They really are good when they're healthy. It was why everyone was so disappointed last year with everyone being hurt all the time.
