12/14 Late Games Thread

[Delano]

For all of you calling for Julius Peppers in KC, watch Clady own him today.

[yeti]

randy cross just said that Clady could be the best LT in the league right now. all the other announcers were like yaaaa....he's good but lets get carried away

[Delano]

Did you hear the play by play guy (Engberger?) make fun of Cross for his mustache?

Something like:

"My partner in the booth, showing that he is through puberty: Randy Cross."

[Delano]

COVER FUCKING STEVE SMITH!!

[yeti]

ROFL no missed that one

[yeti]

wow steve smith dragging bly along for a 1st. this is going to a great offensive game

[Delano]

Clady just missed a block when he pulled out.

Swan dive past a little DB into the turf. LOL

[yeti]

delano i think that we are the only ones watching this game

[Delano]

delano i think that we are the only ones watching this game

Must be. Pretty exciting so far.

[ClevelandBronco]

I'm watching. There's just not much to say except that Steve Smith is eating Denver's Twinkies.

[Delano]

LOL shanny

['Hamas' Jenkins]

What a stupid fucking decision. Running a draw on the 20 with 10 seconds left, and of course, Young fumbles, giving Carolina the ball in FG range.

[yeti]

fumble by selvin young way to give carolina 3 pts easy haha

[Delano]

WTF is Cross talking about? Ten seconds ran off the clock.

[yeti]

this is a nice little preview of what will happen to the donkeys in the playoffs

['Hamas' Jenkins]

DeAngelo just pwned the Broncos, and thanks to Shanny's dumbassery, they are now down three scores.

[yeti]

we might get some good cutler pouting out of this one

[dirk digler]

It looks like the Donkeys are going to have to wait another week to wrap up this shitty division

[morphius]

If they called Clady for all the holding he has been doing he would be killing his team worse than it is doing to itself.

[Delano]

Damn that secondary blows.

[Dylan]

Sack #2 Titans

[dirk digler]

The Donkeys suck so bad they switched games to the Pitt-Ravens game

[the Talking Can]

sweet, denver is losing so bad they switched to pitt/ravens..

[ClevelandBronco]

Sack #2 Titans

Those blue and black uniformed teams can be so confusing...:D

[ClevelandBronco]

sweet, denver is losing so bad they switched to pitt/ravens..

How's that one going?

[Dylan]

Steelers & Ravens -- good defensive game.

[dirk digler]

How's that one going?

9-3 Ravens

[Dylan]

Happy feet Rothenhossinheffingurger finally found Hines

[dirk digler]

Holmes is an idiot if would have just turned his head around fast enough

[dirk digler]

I bet Herm loves this game now 9-6

[Dylan]

You can't fault a guy for running his route. It's not his fault the Ravens blitzed and got through protection and Ben had to unload it early.

[unothadeal]

Jared Allen with 2 sacks today

[dirk digler]

You can't fault a guy for running his route. It's not his fault the Ravens blitzed and got through protection and Ben had to unload it early.

That is his job since he knows that the Ravens are going to blitz. He needed to look sooner even Simms said he wasn't looking when he should have.

Anyway it is not a game changer or anything the Steelers have another chance

[Dylan]

Flacco -- you got to get rid of the ball -- he's lucky the raven's fell on the ball.

Steelers defense pinned the Ravens in the redzone -- Happy feet is jogging onto the field

[dirk digler]

Flacco -- you got to get rid of the ball -- he's lucky the raven's fell on the ball.

You're really behind

[eazyb81]

Just my like, my opponent in FFL playoffs today has Cassel. Thanks Oakland!

[Dylan]

I agree. they see the raven's lining up to blitz -- you got to stay alert

lol... like i know what it's like to be out there.... LMAO

[dirk digler]

Thanks to Ed reed slipping the Steelers pick up a big first down

[Delano]

I agree. they see the raven's lining up to blitz -- they got to stay alert

Can you make a call and have your boys shut TO down tonight please? :D

[Ultra Peanut]

oh denver-chan

http://i33.tinypic.com/zm0aoz.jpg

[dirk digler]

Big catch now inside the 15 with a little over a minute left

Go for the TD Steelers don't wimp out and play Herm ball

[dirk digler]

Nice play to Hines Ward

[Delano]

Go for the TD Steelers don't wimp out and play Herm ball

This is crazy football. I didn't think you could pass the ball when you were within field goal range in a tight game like this.

[dirk digler]

Holy shit.

That is damn close. 2 feet in the endzone but the ball was right on the plane or right outside of the endzone

[the Talking Can]

crazy play!

body was in the endzone but the ball wasn't

[eazyb81]

Wow, Balt/Pitt game is nuts.

[unothadeal]

Wow! Only in the NFL

[the Talking Can]

wow as close as can be

[Delano]

You really can not over turn that.

[Bugeater]

I don't think it broke the plane.

[Dylan]

Can you make a call and have your boys shut TO down tonight please? :D

OMG... please watch the game with me --- chiefsplanet is all i have -- or want... lol

I don't know if the giants will beat them. Brandon Jacobs is more valuable to the team than Burress and he's out this week. I guess they're resting him for the Panthers. And the Giants need Osi --Kiwanuka in my opinion, is not getting the job done.

the Giants played horrendous last week.

[dirk digler]

Do you go for it?

[eazyb81]

WOW!!!

[dirk digler]

HOLY ****ING SHIT!!! I thought the ball had to cross the plane of the endzone?

The Ravens got screwed and the refs messed up big time

['Hamas' Jenkins]

That's a fucking joke of a call. That is not a touchdown.

[Delano]

Does this guy know your feet don't matter? It's the ball moron.

[cdcox]

That looks like a bad call.

[the Talking Can]

td!!

so the ball doesn't have to cross the plane if you have two feet down in the endzone?

[Bugeater]

So the ball doesn't have to break the plane if your feet are in the endzone?

['Hamas' Jenkins]

FTR, Pitt should have absolutely gone for it, but after watching them stupidly clock it on first down, I was hoping they'd lose.

[unothadeal]

Bullshit

[Delano]

OMG... please watch the game with me --- chiefsplanet is all i have -- or want... lol

I'll be watching!

Osi not drinking enough five hour energy shots?

[the Talking Can]

did they just rule a td without the ball crossing the plane?

[dirk digler]

did they just rule a td without the ball crossing the plane?

Yep. This call will be debated for awhile.

[Bugeater]

did they just rule a td without the ball crossing the plane?

Looked that way to me. :shrug:

[Delano]

So the ball doesn't have to break the plane if your feet are in the endzone?

I only thought that mattered on an out-of-bounds line, and not the goal line.

[the Talking Can]

Yep. This call will be debated for awhile.

i have never heard of such a thing

i thought crossing the plane was a prerequisite for a td

huh

[eazyb81]

Still 40 seconds left....

[dirk digler]

Stupid kicker could cost the Steelers LMAO

[Delano]

Reed with the shove and slowly back away.

Damn kickers.

[dirk digler]

i have never heard of such a thing

i thought crossing the plane was a prerequisite for a td

huh

I thought so too. I would like to hear a better explanation

[Ultra Peanut]

That was a very strange call.

[ferrarispider95]

that means the qb should runs backwards on a qb sneak because he only needs to get his feet in and he can also protect the ball

['Hamas' Jenkins]

You'll never get an explanation from Pereirra. He's the Baghdad Bob of the NFL.

[the Talking Can]

int

steelers win

[the Talking Can]

that means the qb should runs backwards on a qb sneak because he only needs to get his feet in and he can also protect the ball

seriously....this is wierd

[Delano]

I thought so too. I would like to hear a better explanation

Well of course the ball can be caught out of the plane of the end zone on three sides, but if you have your feet down it doesn't matter.

However on the goal line, the ball must cross the plane.

The NFL will be apologizing for this one.

[dirk digler]

Too bad a good game is mired by a questionable call

[dirk digler]

Oh well the game of the day is coming up. Go Giants and I hope someone takes out TO

[Mecca]

It depends when you think he has possession of the ball it was very close.

[Delano]

Oh well the game of the day is coming up. Go Giants and I hope someone takes out TO

I hope Witten takes him out. ROFL

[dirk digler]

It depends when you think he has possession of the ball it was very close.

From the replays his second foot came down while the ball was at least at the 1/2 yd line or longer.

I think it was a really bad call

[the Talking Can]

It depends when you think he has possession of the ball it was very close.

but the refs seemed to be saying that possession was sufficient, they didn't say the that the ball broke the plane...

[Dylan]

I'll be watching!

Osi not drinking enough five hour energy shots?

he was injured on the first game of the season. he'll be back next season


Kiwanuka is a good LB and a so-so DE --so they concentrate on Tuck. maybe I'm wrong.

[dirk digler]

I hope Witten takes him out. ROFL

LMAO

It would be funny if they ran a crossing route and Witten clothes lines him. I think people would give a standing O to Witten

[Shag]

It depends when you think he has possession of the ball it was very close.

Take the feet and possession out of the equation, and it's still not enough to overturn the call on the field. IMHO, it was not clear that the ball ever crossed the plane - it was too close to call, and the call on the field should have stood.

[dirk digler]

Oh shit Mecca's boyfriend is coming up on 60 minutes. Mecca you have your towel ready? :D

[the Talking Can]

That seems to happen alot....I've seen numerous very marginal things get overturned, I don't even think they worry about that undisputable evidence line anymore.

[Delano]

I see. Their DE's were so strong last year, too bad about the injuries.

[Mecca]

Oh shit Mecca's boyfriend is coming up on 60 minutes. Mecca you have your towel ready? :D

He's going to talk about the work he does in LA to lessen gang and inner city violence, he's been doing a program for that for a long long time.

[dirk digler]

He's going to talk about the work he does in LA to lessen gang and inner city violence, he's been doing a program for that for a long long time.

Crap I thought it was going to be about something important like how great a coach he is and football. :)

[Dylan]

I see. Their DE's were so strong last year, too bad about the injuries.


The guys that they rotate in are injured or out this week. Robbins is out tonight. This is not good for the Giants. Alford will take his place. Alford is good. How good, I'm not sure. Hopefully, Kiwi will make an impact.

I read that the Giants are resting Robbins and Jacobs because the game next week really counts. Honestly, I think I would rather see the Giants play in TN instead of NY. Giants Stadium is brutal in the winter -- especially on QBs when they're throwing into the wind.

I'm no different than most -- I'm always expecting the Giants to morph back into their losing ways.

[chief52]

Even if the Steeler call had not been overturned, the Steelers still have a play left from inside the 6" line. It is not like it was fourth down.

[dirk digler]

Even if the Steeler call had not been overturned, the Steelers still have a play left from inside the 6" line. It is not like it was fourth down.

It would have been 4th down since they spiked the ball on first down

[Delano]

Fail.

[chief52]

Yes, fourth down coming up. It was third down so they still had a play left.

It was stupid of them to waste a play on that spike though. Throw it into the end zone. Take a shot. They totally wasted a play and it almost bit them.

[chief52]

Fail.


Fail!

It was third down. They had one more play left...

[dirk digler]

Yes, fourth down coming up. It was third down so they still had a play left.

It was stupid of them to waste a play on that spike though. Throw it into the end zone. Take a shot. They totally wasted a play and it almost bit them.

Ok I misunderstood you and I agree about the spike. That was retarded.

It would have been interesting to see what their decision would be if they didn't get the bogus call

[Dylan]

When you have time read this article published in the Star-Telegram, Sat. Scathing.

Here's the lede of the main ST story:

Team T.O. vs. Team Romo: Just call the Dallas Cowboys a team divided

"And anybody who doubts this team is on the verge of crumbling, just listen to Cowboys cornerback Terence Newman rip into his coaches for lack of accountability on ESPNFirst Take."

"When coaches make mistakes around here, there’s nothing said about it. They just go and try to defuse it, and try to put that blame on somebody else, rather than owning up to it," Newman said. "It’s one of those things that’s hurting us as a team."

[Bugeater]

Here's the lede of the main ST story:
Are you going to start a Giants gamethread, or do I need to do it?

[Coach]

Blow Manning v. T.O SNF Game!

[Dylan]

Are you going to start a Giants gamethread, or do I need to do it?

oh, you know i start threads... i would be too embarrassed... lol


I thought this was it? NO?

ah, you're so sweet Bugeater!

[dirk digler]

LMAO Owens drops an easy pass and gets booed

I think he is gone next year

[chief52]

It would have been interesting to see what their decision would be if they didn't get the bogus call

I saw Tomlin's interview after the game. They asked him what he would have done on fourth down on the 6" line if he had to. He looked at them and laughed. Said something to the fact that we did not have to worry about that. He did not tip his hand.

I think you would have had to go for the win...that would have been my take anyway.

[Coach]

FUMBLE!

[Coach]

LMAO Owens drops an easy pass and gets booed

I think he is gone next year

Bank on it. He gawn.

[Bugeater]

I thought this was it? NO?

ah, you're so sweet Bugeater!

Well, I'd do it, but I know damn well as soon as I try Coach will start one at the same time and then mine will be a repost and then everyone will laugh at me and I'll get butthurt and have to start an I'm Leaving Forever thread., so you do it.

[the Talking Can]

what a start

TO drops a pass and booos rain down

Ware looked like king kong wrecking a small city

[Delano]

Implode TO, implode.

[Delano]

Haha. Blame it on the coaches Terrance.

[Sweet Daddy Hate]

Oh well the game of the day is coming up. Go Giants and I hope someone takes out TO

Amen to that!

[Sweet Daddy Hate]

God, just bend NY over why don't-cha?

[Sweet Daddy Hate]

Romo got douched.

[Sweet Daddy Hate]

Harbaugh's a Raven-ish DOUCHE! Ha ha...

[Sweet Daddy Hate]

[Sweet Daddy Hate]

And Romo eats it in the end zone. 14-5.

5?

Yeah. 5.

My bad I guess there's another thread for this game.
