That one is all on Fitz, what a piss poor pass. Sent it straight to McCourty.
FOXBOROUGH, Mass. -- Rookie receiver T.J. Graham took the blame for the interception that killed the Buffalo Bills' chance to beat the New England Patriots in the final moments at Gillette Stadium.
Graham admitted he ran the wrong route, breaking behind safety Devin McCourty instead of in front. McCourty intercepted Ryan Fitzpatrick's pass with 23 seconds left to seal a 37-31 victory.
"That was a rookie mistake," Graham said at his locker. "I was supposed to cross his face in the front, and it was a good pass. Had I crossed the face, I probably would have made the play."
The Bills traded up to draft Graham in the third round out of North Carolina State, but he has had limited snaps because the coaching staff doesn't fully trust him.
"That might be why I don't get on the field as much," Graham said.

Yeah like I was saying, Fitz is not to blame lads, that cnut ran the wrong route.
Fitz being shit never stops him from seeing lots of snaps each game. Most in Buffalo can't wait for the season to end and Buffalo to either draft or sign someone new.

Even looking at that replay Fitz had other options besides trying to force it into the endzone where he had one receiver and 4 defensive backs. It was 2nd and 10, yes only 28 seconds but no reason if he had gone a shorter and OPEN route they could have gotten up to the line and spiked the ball to stop the clock. No way he should have ever made that throw.
Even looking at how high he threw that ball, he saw where the receiver was going and still tried to force it in.
And take a massive salary cap hit for that ridiculous contract they gave to Fitz early in the 2011 season.
Michael Vick should be available.
Philly won't pay him $16m next season with all the injury and turnover problems. Here's my list of clubs I can envision making an offer to Vick, the most overrated player of his era. Oakland - they love flash and hype and he's arguably better than Palmer at this point in their respective careers
Kansas City - they need a QB desperately
Jacksonville - see KC (assuming they don't trade for Tebow simply to sell tickets while sacrificing offensive potency)
NY Jets - assuming they sever ties with Sanchez (and probably Tebow)
Arizona - probably the most likely destination and we all know Larry will want Vick
San Francisco - Smith is a bus driver while Vick would bring an explosive element to the offense
The rest are settled at QB barring a long-term injury or retirement.
What a catch Jackson Tampa going to OT.
Time for Brady-Luck.

Talib!! A debut pick 6 for him following a punt TD return from Edelman.
21-14, brilliant game so far.

Brilliant performance from the Pats.
Offense was excellent as usual, despite being without Hernandez and 2 starting guards. Special teams did a good job but it was the D which was most impressive. Got a lot of pressure on luck and made several turnovers. Edelman probably had his best game for the patriots.
Excellent all round performance.

The offensive line Dallas is employing at the moment is one of the worst I've ever witnessed. It reminds me of the early Aikman days. Romo is constantly under pressure and if not for his feet he'd be sacked a dozen times per game. Brady and Manning would nave no time in the pocket with this line regardless of how great they are.
Btw, bad news Pats bandwagoners, Gronk broke his forearm today but I haven't seen a prognosis on recovery.

Some sites saying Gronk could be out 4-6 weeks. Big loss if true, we jut can't get any luck with injuries to the TEs this season.
49ers are looking impressive so far tonight, 0 - 10 at the moment, Kaepernick is playing like he's been there for years.

Does help that the 49ers defense is controlling the game, and Kapernick can play more conservatively though he has shown glimpses of becoming a solid starting QB. Also giving a boost is the drop in quality from Cutler to Campbell, granted Campbell is one of the better backup QBs in the league.
That was a hell of a collision there! Rogers tags Campbell.

Well that was fun. Watching Chilo Rachal play is much more fun when he's on the other team.
Impressive debut from Kaepernick, wonder if they'll stick with him as starter?
Bears' D getting me a valuable 1pt in the fantasy league as I held out for a 1.6pt win. Everytime I put Lance Moore on the bench, the cnut has a big game.

Von Miller, Sebastian Vollmer and A.J Green are playing at a very high level.
I doubt Vollmer will get the recognition he deserves with him playing on the right though.

Lots of rookies doing well these days. As someone fairly new to the NFL (been watching it only 2-3 years), is it normal that rookies do this well? Von Miller and A.J. Green lit up the league as rookies and seem to be continuing their solid play this year.
There's always talk of sophmore slumps on NFL.com, take it that means that top-rated rookies tend do well, but have a harder time bringing it in their second year?
I'm extremely happy with Kalil, Smith and Walsh for the Vikings this year. Wright showed promise in the one game he started (although he didn't do much outside the TD and the splash-play 54-yard reception), Josh Robinson has been a good addition to the secondary and Rhett Ellison has seen some snaps as a TE. Kalil could get a lot better at run blocking, but his pass blocking has been very good. Yet to allow a sack! Smith has been a great addition to a crappy secondary, allthough he misses a few more tackles than I'd like to see. Walsh has been damn near perfect!
Would love to see a great draft in 2013 too. Wishlist: a #1 receiver(!), a guard or two, more help for the secondary (can't expect Winfield to play like this forever - the man is 35 after all).

Anyone watching the Detroit game?
Houston score a TD but the runner was clearly down by contact, officials didn't whistle so ruled a TD. Detroit challenged, which they didn't need to, but the referee said play is NOT reviewable and awarded the TD! Why can't they review it?
Edit: sky saying its not reviewable because Detroit challenged before the automatic review happened. Shit rule & shit decision.

fecking bullshit.
This game is a lesson on why getting conservative when barely in range for game winning field goals is a bad idea. Stafford driving, throwing the ball well. Lions run it twice for a loss, hit the upright. Why pile so much pressure on the kicker. Why take it out of Stafford's hands when he hasn't turned it over all game? Suicide.
Have Philly stopped losing yet ?
Nope, on a nice 6 game losing streak.
Redskins have played well so far, Dallas really needs to win this game.
RG3 has played very well but, again, his receivers have made some superb catches.
Confirmed for at least this week, despite Smith being cleared to play. If he performs like that again I don't see how they can possibly sit him. The 49ers are a playmaker at QB away from being unstoppable imo.
Agreed. They already have an excellent defense, a solid running game, a very good kicker and a decent passing game with Smith. I didn't see Kaepernick's performance myself, but all the 'experts' loved him and if he can give them the option to throw it deep and throw it accurately then they're my SB favourites.
The game with the Saints will give a better indication on just how good the kid is right now.
This has been a good game. RG3 looks good but, like Luck, some of what he does looks properly rookie. and I'm not sure what to make of him until he comes across a decent defence. Luck got dicked the other night against the Pats so I'd like to see how it goes against the Giants next week.
Looking forward to seeing Kaepernick as well.

Superb game between Dallas and Washington. Skins hold on for the win. I'd have gone for it on 4th and 10 instead of attempting the onside recovery after the FG. Stupid cowboys.
Hernandez is active for the Pats, hopefully we win and ruin Rex's thanksgiving.

Why the hell didn't he just score there?
Another miss from Gostowski. Always could count on him to get a FG but he's been unconvincing this season.
Brady-Welker-TD. Get that man a new contract!
Boom! 83 yard TD Pats. 14-0.

The Jets are self destructing. Gregory is taking advantage.
Another fumble!!!!
This is epic.

They're a shambles, even the commentators seem lost for words at times.
Pats are taking the piss now. We're throwing it deep!
