    Thankfully the Steelers are even worse than us this year.

    Russell Wilson, you are ridiculous!

    Is there a hotter team in the NFL right now? Maybe the Patriots?

    Broncos.

    Maybe, but in retrospect, the teams they have beaten have been less than stellar. Tonights result was very good, albeit against a banged up Ravens team. They certainly haven't given anyone a 58-0 beat down....although ~i will happily accept them gradually improving in time for the playoffs.

    I wonder if Russell Wilson can overtake RGIII for OROY? When are the votes cast, a week or two before the season ends?

    Kansas City have no first downs, have only run 15 plays, for 11 total yards (against 40 penalty yards!) at the half.

    Yet they're only a score down. Well done Raiders :pac:

    it worries me that 3 broncos wins have come against these two teams (not forgetting 2 more against the Chargers). The Chiefs now have 7 possesions in the game, and 6 x 3 & outs (1 turnover)- I've never seen anything like that before.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 28,710 ✭✭✭✭Paully D


    Seabass strikes over from 57 and it probably would have had the distance to make 67.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,052 ✭✭✭poldebruin


    Cardinals have td drives of 3 and 20 yards and are leading 21-7 (3rd td was an int return)

    Detroit have been such a disappointment this year. Who would've thought they'd be out of the playoff race with only 4 wins?

    Ridiculous by Big Ben!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,052 ✭✭✭poldebruin


    wow, the Big Ben td was amazing. Make sure you catch it!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,546 ✭✭✭Masked Man


    Big Ben just doesn't respond to pressure.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 28,710 ✭✭✭✭Paully D


    Superb by Ben there, really, really superb.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,052 ✭✭✭poldebruin


    Well the Steelers cowboys game is thoughroughly enjoyable, living up to expectations, hope it keeps up.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,487 ✭✭✭manafana


    big ben with his old moves their you just can't defend that their is no manual for it


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,052 ✭✭✭poldebruin


    Romo doing his best Ben impression there!

    I'd imagine luck is probably ahead of both of them, but Wilson is doing his bit tonight.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,052 ✭✭✭poldebruin


    Big sack there could stymie a promising drive.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,052 ✭✭✭poldebruin


    ...
    Dallas helped by some awful Steeler tackling on this drive. Tomlin won't be happy.

    Yip, they've been a bit embarrassing of late. Probably just as well to ensure a clear out at season's end.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 15,174 ✭✭✭✭kmart6


    Bryant playing big recently!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,052 ✭✭✭poldebruin


    Denver's owner, Pat Bowlan received a game ball at the end of the game today to mark his first win in Baltimore in 29 years of ownership!!

    When was that and what went wrong? Genuine question, I haven't been following NFL for too long.

    Cheers.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,052 ✭✭✭poldebruin


    wow, big play from Steeelrs there, 60 yard completion, pity he underthrew it a bit otherwise it was a certain td

    Accentually not sure you are being genuine, seem know decent amount
    After 2004 Chargers where dominant. Chargers lost a lot of players by just having too many good players and not being able to pay them all and injuries have been a factor, such a Merriman and other 1st round picks being tortured with injuries.
    Went 14-2 and with problems behind scenes Schottenheimer was fired and Norv came in. He done pretty well but we never performed in the playoffs either. Losing to the Jets under Norv was a massive blow.

    Also very good in early 90s, went to our only Super Bowl.

    Also congrats to Gates on getting receiving TD record for Chargers.

    ....personally I thought they shouldn't have fired Marty Schottenheimer. He led them to a 14-2 record, but they were upset in the 1st round of the playoffs that year (maybe 2007?) Schottenheimer was fired and Norv Turner came in, continued to do well with Schottenheimer's team, but they became progresively worse during his tenure. A San Diego fan may be able to give more insight though.

    In retrospect, I wonder what would have happened if they held onto Drew Brees - he was traded after an arm injury, and they had Rivers come in for him. Rivers has been good, no doubt, but Drew Brees has been other worldly during that time.

    Janikowski may be single-handedly winning someones Fantasy playoff for them today - 5 fieldgoals, including 50 and 57 yarders.
