NFL Week 8 Thread

Damn that CBS reporter is fine

Lamar Houston pulled a Stephen Tulloch and got hurt celebrating a sack.

 

His team was losing 48-23

 

As a Packers fan, can't help but laugh seeing a Lions player and now a Bears player do this all in the same season

 

 

This one is worse than Tulloch's though. Tulloch at least was celebratign a sack early in the game. This game was already over and Houston and the Bears D was getting stomped all game long by the Pats...so what is he celebrating for?

[OregonLAA]

and he just threw a go-ahead touchdown.

 

Would be calling him a top 8-10 qb in the league now be accurate?

I don't know. Panthers pass D has been dreadful all year and he struggled mightily. Losing Tate and now Harvin seems to be having an affect

[Angels_Make_Me_Drink]

Stupid.

 

Good win for the Lions. Eventually these comeback games are going to bite them in the ass though. I have no issue with the penalty. They did everything by the book. Can't fault the officials on that one.

Anthony Barr

Good job, Watkins. Way to make a name for yourself by celebrating way too early

He's the front runner for RoY. I'm pretty sure he's making a name for himself for other reasons.

[Angels_Make_Me_Drink]

Yah, talk about overreaction. One of the main headlines on Yahoo right now states that this could haunt him for the rest of his career.

 

It was a funny moment that he will be made fun of for a while, and then forgotten about. 

[bloodbrother]

Especially considering they won by a lot.

[OregonLAA]

I love Watkins and think he is going to be a beast. It was still ridiculous and a stupid move.

 

As for the Lions game, the refs did what the rules state, but it doesn't mean the rules are correct. Why wouldn't the rule be that the Falcons can decline the penalty? Patriots had a similar thing happen (not that it mattered). They went for it on 4th down early in the game. They had a false start and the whole play was played out. They didn't make it, but were allowed to get the field goal. They should have walked off the field with 0 points, but instead got 3 because they made a mistake? There has to be a way to change that. 

[Angels_Make_Me_Drink]

It shouldn't have played out. It was a pre-snap penalty. If it wasn't an end of game situation, more than likely the whistle would have been heard and the play would have been pushed back. 

[bloodbrother]

That roughin the passer on Arizona was so embarrasing. That is what the NFL has become

[Chimi]

The QBs know it and sell it well.

[Chimi]

All these flags in the Eagles/Cardinals game is becoming obnoxious.

[Hollyw00d]

Agreed, the refs are way too involved in games. Its ridiculous that zebras can decide games, really brings down the quality of the league. That and the constant commercial breaks

[Hollyw00d]

Maclin shouldn't be playing, dude got knocked out

It's not like that's anything new.

 

The NFL you cant watch without changing the channel every 5 mins.

[OregonLAA]

NFL starting to look like the NBA with the way refs have so much say in how a game turns out. How can this be the product the NFL wants? Every game it seems like I see some stat about how many hands to the face penalties there have been this year. Are they proud of it?

[Brandon]

Been saying this for years.

 

Every week there is some officiating debate or call that directly affects the score of a game...usually whether a win or loss like the Ravens game today.

[Hollyw00d]

It's not like that's anything new.

I feel like its worse this year than ever before, its seriously approaching wwf levels with games having predetermined outcomes.

that chargers-broncos game was the most poorly officiated I have ever seen. Its frustrating being a fan of one of the teams that always gets the shit end of the stick, especially when facing "marquee" teams

[Spirit]

[Hollyw00d]

Hypocrisy.

you donk fans would be up in arms if the jerseys were switched in that shitshow

[Hollyw00d]

Oh well. At least this wasn't us.

[Spirit]

Yeah.  You never make it that far.

[nando714]

Az 6-1.

I really hope no one respects them. We play better that way

If that was true, I doubt the Rams would beat the Seahawks and the Raiders would have at least ONE win by now!
