We had people in the family who don't normally watch football cracking up at that one as they showed each replay. It may just be my favorite play ever.
This play is a perfect example of why I get tired of NFL commentators. Sure they are some of the most insightful commentating you will find in sports since most of them are former players. However watch your average game and you hear things like how this player is the best in the league at this or that. They talk the players up to be supermen.
This play Chris Collinsworth went off for five minutes on how the d lineman, name escapes me at this point, caused this fumble to happen. The way he made it sound was as if the lineman picked up the offensive player off the ground and threw him at Sanchez. Sure the defensive player stood his ground but any moron can see Sanchez ran into his own player because he wasn't paying attention. Anyways that is my rant for the day...these sorts of play by play have always bothered me when watching NFL games.
Collinsworth is a bad analyst anyhow.
I like Collinsworth, not my favorite analyst but he's decent. I hate the guys on FOX though.
I have to agree. Obviously I do not know the circumstances but to destroy another family by taking somebody else's life and I think leaving a young child behind is shocking. I cannot even imagine what state of mind you have to be in for that to occur though
I can't imagine both sets of players having to go out and play tomorrow.
Collinsworth is alright, Gruden is my favourite.
Give me Jim Nantz and Phil Simms all day long.
I always end up feeling sorry for Troy Aikman when he's covering the Cowboys games. How he manages to hold his tongue and frustration is amazing. It must be killing him watching Romoception.
Miami having a terrible start here, come on Pats.
Gostkowski out!
Did he miss again? Has been a shocking season for him.
Yes, from 49 yards. Not a gimme but he has been missing a lot this season.
Brady just got intercepted too.

Have the Jets finally dropped Sanchez? He's on the touchline making notes 
Edit: just seen his stats, 3 picks

Kaepernick just went some way to atone for fumbling the ball and giving away a TD on the last drive...50 yard run to put the Niners within FG range. Tied game, Two minute warning.
Surely not another tie??

Niners by 3 with 1:34 left.
Kaepernick did well on the drive, but ran out of bounds on the play before the FG...should have stayed in bounds and forced the Rams to take their last TO...

TD Seahawks!!!!
I despise that cnut Pete Carroll, but Russell Wilson has been very impressive this season and has been clutch. He may not get as many headlines as RG3 or Luck but he looks a very solid QB.

Kansas win. Amazing they played after yesterday's events, emotional win for them and their fans.
OT in St Louis, another tie perhaps?

Chicago going to OT as well. feck you Pete Carroll 
Pats FG should be enough for us to win the game and the AFC East.

Russell Wilson clutch again.
Gameover, Seahawks win. Hope Rice is ok, looks like he is KOd.
Edit: walking off, looks to be fine.

Colts win!!!!!!!! Luck shows he too can be clutch. Colts super season continues.
Luck the first QB picked #1 in the draft to win 8 games in his rookie season. Luck>>Peyton.
Rams win it in OT with a monster FG.

Turns out losses suck worse than ties.
Oh my. Not a nice drop.
Sanders having a bit of a mare.
Ed Reed is a beast. Steelers will lose this and Baltimore will get another close win.
Edit: Steelers force Joe 'I'm Elite too' Flacco to fumble. Come on Pittsburgh!

Great win for the Steelers.
I can't stand Berman...and when they do their not funny "Come on man" schtick.
Luck is the shit, isn't he?
Too early to say that Luck >> Peyton. Colts schedule has definitely helped. Most wins have been against sub .500 teams. Let's see if Isray gets him more help this draft and off season. Also, how he gets on his second season, which is the toughest for players.
In the meanwhile, Peyton is having a MVP season. He is almost at the doorsteps of winning his 5th of the regular season.
Pretty disappointing loss.
The safety should not have been given as the ball crossed the line of scrimmage (although the other point is no way you should be giving up a safety when you snap the ball close to your own 20...).
Am surprised Walker didn't catch the TD pass from Kaepernick - the ball was perfectly thrown and he really should have held it.
Thought Kaepernick's run was fantastic - but on the 3rd down afterwards he should have stayed in bounds and forced the Rams to use a timeout.
The penalty call against the Niners for the hit on Bradford when he slid was v harsh - the hit wasn't helmet to helmet and the player was committed before Bradford slid.According to the NFL's rules expert that shouldn't have been given. Obviously the 15 yards helped them, but the penalty also stopped the clock for the Rams.
My biggest concern is that the Niners play-calling is way too conservative much of the time. With Crabtree, Davis, Manningham and Moss we should be looking deeper downfield at least sometimes. I thought this agressiveness was something that Kaepernick would offer over Alex Smith, so he really needs to start trying those throws - he definitely has the arm for it.
I think the safetay call was right, intentionally grounding is not marked at the spot the ball lands but at the spot the QB is when he grounds the ball. Could be wrong though, it happens all the time.
Jet's fans
Funny that because Aikman has always supported Romo where as idiot fans who do not understand the complexity of the game only criticize him (Romo). Even Collinsworth in last night's game made positive points that fans always neglect to take into account when judging Romo (points like their bad defense for years, bad OL, inconsistent receivers, no running game).
Aikman doesn't seem to hold a fan's view of the Cowboys since he became a TV analyst. I find that he's done a great job of being unbiased save the odd monemental game (like Emmitt breaking the rushing record). He's made plenty of remarks in the past about Cowboys playing crap, about coaching and personnel moves, and about management.
Aikman is the exact opposite of Theisman in the regard. Theisman was the epitome of an overrated QB and never holds back his excitement and endorsement of Washington. I recall the Skins starting out in the mid-90s at 6/7-1 and Theisman took to being a prognosticator predicting the Skins would go "at least to the NFC Championship Game." They didn't qualify for the playoffs that season. Typical arrogant Theisman and the epitome of a biased TV analyst.
RG3 with another 'magical' play. The guy can do no wrong, maybe he could even end the conflict in the Middle East? Sanchez probably wondering how he falls and fumbles for a Pats TD but RG3 falls, fumbles and ends up with a TD for his team.
He does take some vicious hits though, unless he takes better care of himself he'll become injury prone like Vick.

I need Garcon to get as little yardage in this game as possible in order to get through in my fantasy league. Everytime RG3 throws the ball, my heart skips a beat. I think I need to stop watching.
I'm a bit confused about RG3. He's really entertaining to watch, but for some reason he doesn't give me the same impression of consistency that Luck does. But then, you see his stats and some of his passes, they are just ridiculous.
Can someone explain if he really is that good?

I think Romo's doing a good job given the amount of time he has to spend dancing in the backfield avoiding getting squashed.
fecking Garcon.
Oh yeah...RG3!
6-6, The Skins are back....we are obviously not quite a factor yet, but give us another season.
