NFL - Are You Ready For Some Football?! - Off Season

[-Jrabbit]

Ready for the Battle of Badness in Carolina. If the Bears lose this game, their season is essentially over.

[Al B. Sure!]

could be big games for the RB's though.


backup TE Dixon on the Ravens is a beast though. He just dragged a guy 10 yards after hauling in a 50 yard pass.

[Al B. Sure!]

Yup. Could be big games for the RB's though, JRabbit. Forte is putting up numbers already

[Al B. Sure!]

Jrabbit

17 points between the two teams already. Highest scoring early game so far

[-Jrabbit]

Actually a pretty amusing game so far.
Fun fact: Before today, the Bears had ZERO rushing TDs this year. Now, 3 in Q1 vs the Panthers. I wonder if this is a first for a Mike Martz offense...

[-Jrabbit]

Oops, that Chester Taylor play, not a TD. My bad.

[-Jrabbit]

Then Todd Collins shows why he's such a great backup to Cutler -- INT at the goal line.

[snoopy369]

Holy crap, collins is terrible. Those last two throws were WAY off, and neither was a very difficult throw. Olsen 15 yards downfield, wide open, throws a SOFT TOUCH pass five yards too deep... then overthrows Knox by 10 for an INT. Why is Collins throwing the ball? Run run run, or put in Hanie...

[Al B. Sure!]

kansas city is playing exactly how you're supposed to play against the Colts. It's almost halftime in that game ALREADY (all the other games have just entered the 2nd quarter) and the Colts have been held to field goals

[duke o' york]

Don't look Guy, the Lions are all over the Rams. They can't possibly throw it away from here, can they?

[Al B. Sure!]

Todd Collins

[snoopy369]

Collins, 3INT. If he steps back on the field I'm calling Lovie on his cell to complain.

Why challenge a completion on 3rd and long that doesn't give you the first, nor get you into decent field goal range, nor does a FG help much anyway?

DET is not 'all over STL'. STL is playing better than DET - just having turnover problems.

[snoopy369]

Also love the explanation. Love Mike Carrey's explanations in general - best ref in the NFL by a mile.

[-Jrabbit]

TBF, the completion would have allowed them a FG attempt, and a chance to put points on the board is not to be sneezed at in a game like this.

Collins, no INTs in 13 years, now 4 in his last 12 attempts. Nice game management.
I really would like to see what Caleb Hanie can do.

[snoopy369]

Wasting your second challenge on a chance at a long FG? That's idiotic. It would've been a 50+ yard FG in a game down by 14. Idiotic.

Hanie had better come in for the second half. Collins is a net negative. Hanie, or else just play Hester at QB the rest of the game, which is probably actually best Triple option FTW!
