    Mike Vick is on the field as much as Kevin Kolb at this point.

      I don't know... The Giants had 4 turnovers (3 interceptions, 1 fumble plus a safety so really 5 turnovers) against the Panthers but still killed them. You can recover from turnovers if your team is just that much better and the Bears showed they are that much better than the Lions.

        amazing INT by Charles Woodson. Make sure you check that out on the highlight reels (assuming the challenge doesn't overturn it)

          I haven't seen the replay yet, but everything I've read seems to indicate that the Lions just got ****ed straight up the ass.

              With the Lions, there never is. They like the rough stuff.

                I don't see what the issue is. Johnson, palming the ball with arm extended, put it on the ground and dropped it. Doesn't matter that he was getting up; on a pass, the rule is you have to keep possession all the way to the ground, and he didn't.

                Stupid on his part, really. He could have tucked it away.

                  fun fact...

                  Who has more catches so far?
                  Desean Jackson or backup Center/Guard Mike McGlynn?

                  Also, first half Philadelphia Eagles passing yards... Seven yards.

                    So you're saying it was the right decision to bench Kolb today?

                    Ah well. He was worth a shot.

                      Kolb isn't even starting for the Eagles in the traditional sense... Vick has been on the field just as much as Kolb.

                        I'm not saying the call was technically incorrect. I'm saying that any rule that produces such an obviously unjust result needs to be re-examined.

                        Please note: I'm a Bears fan.

                          And how's that working out for them?

                            Oh holy ****.

                            I just saw the replay.


                            He got three feet inbounds, then a knee, then his left hand hit out of bounds, and then he set the ball down on turf.

                            That is a touchdown by any and every defintion of rules. That was an even worse call than I was expecting, and remember, I'm a Lions fan, so I expect the worst as a genetic trait.

                            That is just... I just... oh holy ****, what the **** is with the Lions? Seriously? Did Bobby Layne spit on a gypsy witch or something back in the 50s? What the **** is going here?

                              I'll say it if you won't. The call was technically incorrect.

                                Kolb is out with a concussion. Mike Vick is starting.

                                Kolb's line for the day... 5/10 for 24 yards. Longest pass was 6 yards
