2013 NFL season

I think I should be pulling for the Saints in this next one.

I think these rules were created because of the fumblerooski..

I figured it was the "holy roller" play by the Raiders...

In response to the Holy Roller, the league passed new rules in the offseason, restricting fumble recoveries by the offense. If a player fumbles after the two-minute warning in a half, or on fourth down at any time during the game, only the fumbling player can recover and advance the ball. If that player's teammate recovers the ball during those situations, it is placed back at the spot of the fumble.

Go Saints!

If at first you can't hold your own against them, start injuring their Pro Bowlers and keep injuring their Pro Bowlers until it looks like an even game. If we had been told it would be an asshole bowl from the start, we could have put Andrew Luck in a body cast on the first scrimmage and been done with it.

The Ravens/Tony Siragusa strategy...

perhaps. i thought it was a fumblerooski the bears did in a playoff game that got the controversy started, buts its been a while.

Hmm not a fun game to watch. I don't have a team i care about.. One team is clearly better than the other.

I came back to eat my words.

what a game, grats to any Colts fans for a heckuva game

There's sometimes a syndrome in sports where a team gets too far ahead and then "plays down" to the level of the losing team. Then there is also "prevent Defense" and "protect the ball" offense...

And congrats to the Colts team for the best display of blood sports since the fall of the Roman Empire. Heckuva game, is it? Care to calculate the odds for me that a given team on a given Sunday would 'accidentally' lose six Pro Bowlers out of six injuries total? Care to check and see if that has ever happened before?

Fuck the Colts and fuck any Colts fan with little enough class to consider that string of assassinations a 'victory fair and square'.

Isn't that fake turf in that dome there? Doesn't that have a history of being unforgiving?

Im not a fan of either team, so I consider myself to be pretty impartial here... and it really didn't look like the colts were TRYING to hurt anyone. None of the injuries looked like a string of assassinations to me.

Jamaal Charles hit his head on the ground.

Now that I think about, there was a helmet to helmet hit on Alex Smith that I was surprised was not called...

Phili fail.

 

[torchbearer]

Damn u graham. protect the ball.

 

[torchbearer]

Drew Brees- $40,000/snap.. and this is the garbage we get.

 

[torchbearer]

lost first half by one.

 

[brandon]

Hey at least it's still a super tight game, even if low scoring. I'm on the edge of my seat and ready for the birds to tear you guys up, torch!

 

[brandon]

Nice counterpoint to the craziness of the earlier game

There will be more points in this one in the second half than the first half I imagine ....

Maybe all those guys took a payoff to lay down and make it more interesting...

 

[oyarde]

Philly has good field position , Foles better get busy or they are going to find themselves out of this ...

 

[green73]

Fucking refs are totally in the bag for Philly. Never seen anything like it.
