Week 8 Thread

Colts defence has been beyond embarrassing, in competition with the Bucs against the Colts for worst performance all season.

As bad as the Colts have been I wouldn't rule them out of coming back and beating the Steelers. Its just the way they play football it seems, it if looks easy they make it tough, it if looks impossible they get it done.

There's no element of defense at all in that game, wouldn't be surprised if Luck pulled it off. Similar to the Colts and Chiefs game in the playoffs last year.

Billy86

Three more touchdowns and it's the highest scoring NFL game of all time, and the only one to break 100 points - though a Raiders/Oilers game in the AFL nearly 50 years ago had 101 points.

EDIT: Stupid late night maths attempts... it would need 31 points, not 21.

Billy86

Only an 8 point game now!!

That would only bring it to 90 points.

Well this is turning out to be a cracker in Arizona, Eagles likely to attempt a chip shot FG just after the 2 minute warning to take the lead. Cards with 3 timeouts then get the ball and a chance to win it..

****ing nerve wrecking being an Eagles fan

Sweet Jesus, how did brown get between 2 defenders so easily

Great play there by brown

Some day for Big Ben!

Did the Cardinals really just rush 6 on that play?

Billy86

Most combined passing yards in NFL history, surprised the stat happy commentators didn't pick up on/get told that.

Eagles threw that away no way a saftey should get caught that flat footed on a deep route. Can't fault the last drive but a fumble in the 5 and a pick in the end zone rarely ends in a win

Lions/Packers in 2012 went for the most I think mate, 1,000 yards. Tonight was 922 yards.

Terrible play by the Eagles Def to let the Cards take the lead at the end. Frustrating because for the first time in a long time I actually felt confident trusting the defence in that position to do the job.

They'd played well all game so just very disappointing that we lost it like that with a terrible piece of coverage right at the death. 2 very good teams on show today so hopefully can pull ourselves together after that loss as hard as it is to take and regroup for Texans next week.

Bow down, bitc*es!

Boom touchdown:cool:

Was that Keenan Lewis flapping like a duck?

We need to have HaHa playing just about every non short yardage down at this point, if you ask me.

Son Of A Vidic

Only early but I'm beginning to wonder if the defenses have been given the night off?

Eddie Snr and Wanda happy!

An onside kick half way through the 1st quarter and it backfires. Madness.

Chucky the tree

Do the channel 4 guys always wear lipstick?

Atta boy Clay Matthews, nice play. Could be crucial before ht

Enjoying this game, always seems to be a great game between the Saints and Packers.

Saints gain the advantage just before halftime by tying the game as they get it from the kickoff.

And the Pack comes up with a stop on fourth down! Who knew?

eagle eye

Looks like Rodgers is suffering a bit with his hamstring. Hopefully he is ok, just shows what a difference it makes when a player is not 100%. It was a great drive down the field and then it stalled after he got injured.

Get him off for some hopefully short treatment surely? Not looking great.

eagle eye

Boom, 2nd and 1 and Bree shows off his magnificent arm.

Pherekydes

Rodgers hamstrung?

Streak of 212 straight passes without an interception comes to an end.

And Brees puts NO into the lead. :(
