Re: 2008 NFL Season Thread- The Road to Super Bowl XLIII
This Philadelphia/Washington game is simply lousy. The Eagles barely managed a field goal and the Redskins somehow have a 10-3 lead over the Birds. The Eagles truly look like the suckiest bunch of sucks who ever sucked.
8:15 to go in the 4th.
This game is boring. Nothing but poor throws and turnovers that aren't taken advantage of.

Re: 2008 NFL Season Thread- The Road to Super Bowl XLIII
At least one of the teams you like playing, and is has some significance to the playoff chase what with Tampa and Dallas both losing. Atlanta has a lead late though.
Oh and so much for my prediction. Lions lose 42-7, hahahahahaha.
EDIT: Denver in the Red Zone, what a wild fuckin' finish.\
EDIT@: Interception???????? Whoa.

Re: 2008 NFL Season Thread- The Road to Super Bowl XLIII
And Buffalo didn't even get a 1st down, so killed no time. But Denver got it around their own 42 and has done nothing so far.
3rd and 10 2 minutes to go.
edit: fuck, 1st down down the middle as I typed that. (I'm listening to it on NFL field pass)
edit: ANOTHER 1st down, to the Buffalo 20. This has been the story all game long when Denver's on the roll -- 10, 15 and 20 yard passes consistently and quickly marching down field. That being said, Buffalo made 2 INT's (one called back) and has forced a lot of negative yardage plays.
edit: INTERCEPTED! Denver disputes it, but it's inside 2 minutes. So it might be reviewed.
edit: bullshit, they said incomplete now.
edit: Cutler lofts one over Stokely. Bwahahaa.

Re: 2008 NFL Season Thread- The Road to Super Bowl XLIII
90 seconds to go and Washington is going to win this game, baring some miraculous play by the Eagles.
Edit:
Seven dropped passes for the Iggles today, including one just now in the endzone. 39 seconds to go...
Edit:
Timeout with 25 seconds to go. Eagles' 4th down and it looks grim. 4th and 4...

12 seconds in the 4th in the Eagles/Washington game. 10-3 Washington at this point.
Edit:
McNabb threw the ball which was caught just short of the goal. Time ran out and it looks like Washington wins 10-3.
Update:
The last play is under review.
Update:
Play on the field stands, Washington Wins 10-3.
Eagles are BAD.

Re: 2008 NFL Season Thread- The Road to Super Bowl XLIII
Considering how dead San Diego has looked at various times, this could be one of the most miraculous comebacks to force a deciding game ever.

What's amazing was just how bad Buffalo was in the 1st quarter. I just about stopped listening to it at that time.havokeff wrote:Buffalo WINS!!

Fuck me though, it's an early game next Saturday and so is the Chiefs game. A worthless game between them and Cincy. Well, time to start asking old buddies if I can crash at their's for a weekend to watch a game.

ticket prices for that last game of the season in SD have probably just skyrocketed through the roof

Re: 2008 NFL Season Thread- The Road to Super Bowl XLIII
There is also the fact that Washington is the #5 defense in the league so all things aside its not exactly like they were going up against a chump team (it also means they have gone 20+ possesions against the Redskins without a TD).FSTargetDrone wrote:12 seconds in the 4th in the Eagles/Washington game. 10-3 Washington at this point.

Also after the Steelers/Ravens game DC is lucky that wasn't called a TD.

Can't remember where I read it, but it is worth repeating.
Brett Favre may be in his first year with the Jets, but he already has the tradition of the Jets December Meltdown already perfected. The epic failure against Seattle has opened the door for Miami and New England a little further.

Re: 2008 NFL Season Thread- The Road to Super Bowl XLIII
Miami just walked through the door. New England and New York are in almost the same boat, they have to win their last game and hope another team loses its last game. I would argue the Patriots have it easier since they have to beat a Buffalo team that has not been very good this season while the Jets have to beat the red-hot Dolphins.Darth Fanboy wrote:Can't remember where I read it, but it is worth repeating.

Re: 2008 NFL Season Thread- The Road to Super Bowl XLIII
Not my concern; I just want to see it on TV but being in bumbshit Kansas, they're gonna show the Chiefs game, no matter how bad / futile.Darth Fanboy wrote:ticket prices for that last game of the season in SD have probably just skyrocketed through the roof
So yeah, definitely bothering old buddies about occupying their living room. (I know one guy on post with satellite) Makes me feel like such a dick asking though.
EDIT: omg, I was wrong. Denver @ SD is apparently now a Sunday night game? I could've swore that is NOT what the schedule showed -- it must be flexibly scheduled. Thank the football gods for that!
edit: time to bitch. Rivers has the highest QB rating by nearly 10 points (104 to Pennington's 96.4) and the highest yards per completion (8.3 -- Brees at 8.0 is 2nd) but didn't make the Pro Bowl. Vincent Jackson's entire stats are just not quite impressive enough that I complain he might've been "snubbed" but his 18 yards a catch (the highest among receivers with at least 50 catches; he's got 57) and %87.7 of his receptions being 1st down's is damn impressive. By the time you get to another player with such a high ratio of 1st-down's and at least 50 catches, the percentage drops 10 points to Braylon Edwards %77.8 on 54 receptions.
I know Elfdart already mentioned Jackson explicitly (IIRC) but damn. Vincent Jackson = move those chains.

MY concern, because the Q is a relaxing one hour inexpensive Amtrak ride with alcohol served from San Diego and a a short trolley ride from downtown once I get there.Not my concern; I just want to see it on TV but being in bumbshit Kansas, they're gonna show the Chiefs game, no matter how bad / futile.
Or thank the football gods for flex scheduling, your pick .EDIT: omg, I was wrong. Denver @ SD is apparently now a Sunday night game? I could've swore that is NOT what the schedule showed -- it must be flexibly scheduled. Thank the football gods for that!
