NFL Week 5 Thread

Awww, poor Brady. I am not one of those guys usually but that roughing the passer call was weak and if I was a conspiracy theorist it was partly due to him being tom Brady. Nevertheless it was a great interception by that Bengal.

 

That should have been called on anyone.  You can't go batting the QB in the facemask these days.

Welp we have reached the Giants defense giving up portion of the game

[Ryan]

Eagles were greasing up the ball.

yeah when you let the Eagles score a TD in the red zone that's pretty bad

[Death From Above]

Reggie Wayne is still the king.

[RIPPA]

Really at this point - I just want them to beat the Skins twice.

 

But hey BACK TO BACK NATIONAL TV GAMES!!!!

[FireThunder]

Well, at least the Titans kept the Chiefs out of the end zone after the interception... only down by 6.

[Mr. Monday Morning]

Big time road win for the Saints. All 3 facets of the game showed up. Vaccaro got burnt badly by Jeffrey which led to the late TD but otherwise the D was mostly solid (though they're kinda weak against the run...it took forever for the Bears to figure this out for some reason)

 

Even the offensive line held up reasonably well. Would've been a very different story with Melton in there though. Pats-Saints next week is going to be verrrrry interesting.

[Newb82]

As bad as this week has gone for the Bills...at least the fucking Pats lost, and Brady's streak was broken in the process.

[FireThunder]

MAN SIZED run by Richardson to move the chains, kept going after first contact.

[hammerva]

On the bright side we don't have to hear the "Redskins control their own destiny for first place in the division" talk now

[Ryan]

ThreEli'd!

[Niners Fan in CT]

Whoa... huge play for the Fins. Wild endings all over the league..

[JLSigman]

@ProFootballTalk: Which number will be higher at the end of the season:  Peyton Manning touchdown passes or Eli Manning interceptions?

[Ryan]

Does it ever get so bad they bench Eli?

[The Erotic Terrorist]

True, but I think it is lame whenever it's called.

 

Wow have there been a lot of dropsies from wide receivers today, especially from the Dolphins. Sorry, Miami fans.

[_MJ_]

The playing calling and the O-line for the Dolphins was pretty foul and tough to watch.  Nice fourth down throw by Tannehill, but all for naught.

[Niners Fan in CT]

Darius Butler the UCONN god

[RIPPA]

Does it ever get so bad they bench Eli?

 

Not for his picks.

They do eventually yank him out of blow outs though.

[Death From Above]

Indy gets it done against the Seahawks. Good stuff.

[Niners Fan in CT]

Colts beat the Niners and Seahawks. Everyone was giving me crap a couple weeks ago but you know... maybe the Colts are just GOOD...

[JLSigman]

What is wrong with Steve Smith? He's dropped one and missed catching one already. 

[BobbyWhioux]

Titans down by 9 (i.e. more than one score) with only 2 seconds left, but deep in the red zone, line up for a field goal that would make the final 26-20 [they missed though].

 

Surprised they went that route instead of the TD attempt given the Unwinnable scenario.

 

...the betting line was 6.5 wasn't it.

[supremebve]

Eagles were greasing up the ball.

BJ Penn is that you?

[Burgundy LaRue]

The Colts aren't that good

They're a .500 team at best

Their schedule is too tough

They got lucky last year

The pick they sent to Cleveland will be in the Top 10

 

For all who doubt the Horseshoe, I have but a few things to say, starting with----
