NFL 2011, Part 2

[phanan]

Just in time for Patriots-Jets...

 

[mobvok]

It's a scary world when an Alex Smith led team is 8-1.

what Seahawks what what yeah

 

[speedracer]

James Ihedigbo, please light yourself on fire.

 

[phanan]

And a missed chip shot.

This defense, as bad as they are, still do decent in the red zone.

 

[BoMac]

I honestly wouldn't care about this game... I thought it would be hard to win... but I work with a 49ers fan who I really don't like, so yea. just want to be able to rub it in his stupid smug "I root for teams that won when I was 10" face.

I wouldn't have believed it if you told me at the beginning of the season.

The best part is, the 49ers have played a divisional opponent once, and that was in the season opener. Plus, four of their wins came in the eastern time zone, never an easy task for them, at least in the last decade.

 

[speedracer]

Hooray, more Patriots injuries.

At least Brady looks sharp early.

Rodgers vs Smith would be a great NFCCG storyline!

 

[speedracer]

And now a wobbly duck on a 20-yard out pattern to the far sideline. Fortunately, Kyle Wilson sucks.

He had Branch there too.

 

[DRay9911]

stupid plax had to stumble on that first drive

 

[speedracer]

Hit a teammate, 15-yard penalty.

 

[phanan]

Yay, another injury.

 

[speedracer]

Brady wrestling the loose ball away from a lineman is probably the most impressive play he's made all game.

 

[phanan]

I can't believe the Patriots actually have a pass rush tonight.

 

[speedracer]

A decent amount of this has come from better coverage -- some of the sacks were pretty late.

Sterling Moore has been pretty anonymous so far, which is probably a good sign. Well, except for hitting McCourty and getting penalized for it. Jeff Tarpinian doesn't seem to have done anything too horrible either.

 

[speedracer]

Another injury. Did the Patriots decide to hire the Red Sox conditioning and medical staff?

True, but any sacks are a good thing to see at this point.

The defense is holding up so far, but Brady needs to get a couple more scores here.

 

[phanan]

I have no idea how Brady escaped that one.

 

[speedracer]

Ok, that was pretty amazing (although another awful throw, and won't count in any event).

 

[DRay9911]

bummer

at least the skins and eagles (sorry pf). it will make some fun radio on 980 and the fanatic.

 

[PhilsFan]

I don't even give a shit at this point. Fuck the Eagles. They should burn the whole house down except for Shady.

 

[phanan]

Holy shit, a defensive score.

 

[speedracer]

And Julian Edelman just injured Tomlinson on a tackle.

 

[Headache in a Suitcase]

Tomlinson injured in a big game? No way!

 

[Hewson]

Hands up...who felt bad for Fireman Ed when they showed him towards the end of the game looking all dejected with his fire helmet resting on the wall in front of him...

 

[Headache in a Suitcase]

fireman ed sad

 

[LUNEDEMINUIT]

Who the hell are the Baltimore Ravens?

Does it take rocket science to understand that team or what?

They can beat the Steelers twice but can't beat Jacksonville or Seattle and barely beat Arizona.

 

[PhilsFan]

They only care when it's Pittsburgh. Not a great way to win a Super Bowl.

 

[mikal]

yeah, i don't know what to think of most of the AFC teams. if you were to ask me who i think will represent the AFC in the SuperBowl this year, i couldn't even give you an honest opinion at this point.
