Un-the fuck-believable. Why not? Why not lose on a 61 yard field goal?

Jesus fucking Christ, what a fuckup of a game. I think I'm going to go throw up too.

That was an amazing kick, one of the best in NFL history for sure.

Chargers currently driving with the clock running out, and if you happened to bet any money on the Houston Texans this week, you are going to be a very happy man when you collect. Jacksonville played much beter as an underdog, now they're right where a lot of people expected them to be after 6 weeks.

The Jets defense tried to make a game of it, but the Lions looked deep down inside and found the loss that they needed to push for the #1 pick...

Spoke too season about San Diego as the Chiefs manage to win as time expires.

Thriller going on right now in Atlanta. Roethlisberger went down badly earlier, but Charlie Batch might be able to salvage this one for the Steelers.

Fuckin' A. When fucking Roethlisberger was hurt last year Batch threw for like 300 goddamn yards and like three TDs before he broke his hand in the middle of the game. They won earlier in the year when Big Ben was still motorcycle'd, and now that motherfucker might pull one out for the Steelers here.

Where the fuck was Batch the Almighty when he was the big man in Detroit? Oh right, playing like fucking shit, like every one else to roll through Motown. Fucking hate this goddamn team.

Note: ESPN says it was actually 62 yards. One yard short of tying the NFL record.

So did Jake Delhomme. But whoops: he came through for the opposing team. Great interception pass, Jake-O! :roll:

Mother of fuck! :banghead: I realize it was 3rd and 10ish, but one of these days, the Panther's have got to play it cool when Fox wants to take a chance; and when he's ready to be predictably boring and conservative, mix things the fuck up and go for it. I've lost count of the number of times we've kicked the damn ball away on 4th and short while behind on the board and while well within the other team's territory!

Just for that, I should nuke Tampa Bay in HI, except I've already done that.

Yeah, the Redskins are getting zebraed pretty good. Boy this shaping up to be a great week. :roll:

Every fucking score is a case of BOHICA. I don't think I got a single one right yet except the Patriots over the Bills.

Hope you didn't pick 'Hawks over Vikes. Darrell Jackson just cost them a game. He caught a pass on third down beyond the sticks, then turned around, lost the first down, and tried to get cute running east-west. That shit is fucking amateur hour; definately not what I expected from a player of his caliber.

I honestly didn't think the loss to the Bears was going to effect them this badly. The Cards need to start scouting which offensive lineman they are going to take in the first three rounds with the 1st pick in each one. :(

On the flip side I am happy the Raiders won. I can only make so many witty "Raiders suck" comments before they start getting stale. They also made the right decision by keeping Walters as their future QB and not drafting Lienart.

As a true Niner fan Havok, I know you don't really mean that. Raider jokes NEVER get stale.

I hope some of the Leinart-love dies down after his underwhelming performance today. Man, those promos with him strutting around in that coat and sunglasses like a fashion model are getting old. I guess Joey Harrington is the cure the Packers need. All other things aside, I have to insist that today's biggest surprise was the Texans laying the smack down on the Jaguars. Wow. And, don't look now, but here come the Patriots...

All I know is that when I turned on ESPN to watch it was World Series Poker. They'd replaced a real sport with the biggest mickey-mouse corporate-driven sport to ever plague television. :evil:

Well ESPN wasn't going to run anything big tonight, Hell even NBC didn't run Sunday Night Football at all because of the World Series.

The days of Charlie Joiner running a 15-yard pattern on 3rd-and-10 (and that was before they put those safety orange 1st down markers on the field) and making sure to move the chains are but a distant memory. Only Marvin Harrison is reliable to get the first down these days.

Yeah I picked the Seahawks. 2 and 10 with one to go tonight. Utter humiliation.

I'm just going to let chad speak for me on this weeks Bengals game. “It was past ballsy,” speaking about the fourth and one call “That was Scarface shit.” Sounds right to me, that play turned the momentum of that game around.

End of the 1st and Manning has already thrown a 50yd touchdown which, combined with a touchback against the 'Statue of Liberty' has put the Giant 9-0 up.

So, Monday night. Bwahahahaha, Cowboys suck, Owens sucks.

Tony Kornheiser is an enormous gaping vagina.

I knew the Giants were in trouble when they decided fucking RW McQuarters should cover TO. I saw him last year as the Lions CB (and sometimes kick returner). The part where he stood around playing with his dick in the endzone when TO made his TD grab and when he took that 15 yard penalty are standard issue for that loser.

And finally: does anyone else find that "don't beat you wife" ad to be a little weird? I definately WTF'd.
