NFL - Are you ready for some Football - Week 5

[Ben Kenobi]

Same with the Chargers. No points scored in the second half. They were up 35-3 and just ran the ball in the second half.

I don't understand why the Colts are not bringing in the backups in the second half? It makes no sense to me.

[Imran Siddiqui]

You mean the Pats not bringing in backups?

And yeah, the Chargers had Rivers throw for a total of 11 passes, IIRC. The game was over and no need to have him do more.

There's no reason they couldn't have had Cassel in the game for most of the second half, and certainly no reason Faulk or others couldn't be running the ball. Heck, i'll suit up and run the ball up middle for 2-3 yards behind that line if they want me to...

And a deep pass - a deep ROUTE - is inexcusable up 30+. Heck, if nothing else it has higher injury potential, and much higher INC potential. Quick short unders every play are appropriate.

They paid big money for Moss, might as well use them.

Seriously I think they are really pushing for Brady to break Manning's record. He's on pace for 60!! 60!!

edit: I just noticed they went for it on 4th down (watching sportscenter now). That's just wrong. kick the field goal.

That's just wrong. kick the field goal.

But that would be running up the score!

oh and I missed the streaker at the London game. I was still asleep at the time I suppose.

What's with the English and streaking? Is that a national pastime or something?

IRVING, Texas -- Tony Romo didn't have to wait until the offseason to get his big payday from the Dallas Cowboys after all.

Romo has agreed to a six-year, $67 million deal that will be announced Tuesday, according to a person familiar with the deal who requested anonymity because the contract has not been announced.
