Fire the offensive playcaller. Punting when you're 45 points behind!?! Giving the opposition the ball won't help.
Punting is a conservative tactic when you have something to conserve. Like... a lead, or a small deficit and field posiiton in a tight game.
VY needs to start or be traded. I know he's not great but the throwing away money right now and they should dedicate the season to developing him if they don't trade him. That said, I think the trade deadline just passed.
:2 cents:
Brady's back!!!

I am a football fan, I just don't like shitty football. I hate the neanderthal \s who walk around proclaiming their manhood by stating they love football. I hope those idiots watch the Cleveland - Buffalo game from a couple weeks ago, the Skins- Chiefs game. heck, throw in the Jets - Bills game. Sanchez could have been the NYC mayor a month ago. Three loses later he is a bum.
the NFL is #1, but unless the overall quality of play improves, the league will lose some fans. I know I don't watch as intently as I did five years ago

I agree. I used to be riveted to the TV on Sunday and now most of the games are either like that horrendous Cleveland-Buffalo affair a week ago or some fucking blowout like the Titans-Pats game yesterday.
To me, college football is far more compelling with much more drama and excitement than the NFL....not even close.

I just tuned into the game, and I'm a little confused. Is this an inter-city match up? It looks to me like the the Padres are playing the Chargers...

The secret ingredient? MY BALLS
Just in case anybody is interested (which they probably won't be)...
For those of you who had the pleasure (er, horror) of watching the Browns/Steelers game from this past Sunday, you will know what I'm talking about. For those of you who didn't, allow me to explain - the Browns were actually keeping it a close game for the most part and, late in the game, during a very, very crucial 4th down play, the refs made a HOOOOORRIBLE call. The Steelers went for it on 4th and short, in Browns territory, and came up short. It should've been the Browns ball, BUT...well, I could explain the call, but you can just watch it here, as seeing it on video is the only way to do this blown call it's true justice.
WHAT?!?!?!
The video doesn't show anything much, except for the spot of the ball and the measurement of the chain. Well, the refs originally signaled that the Steelers were short, but after about 30 seconds, the Steelers offense came back onto the field and ran a play. The announcers were like, "WHAT IS GOING ON?" and the game continued. So, even though they signaled that the Steelers didn't make it and that it was the Browns' ball, they still...got...the...1st down? :dunno:
Anyway, on today's local news, they had a few reports on the issue. According to the NFL, the refs made the correct call, as the Steelers had a first down. Why did it look like they were short on the video then, you ask? Well, also according to the NFL, it was an OPTICAL ILLUSION. Yes, an OPTICAL ILLUSION.
And, they interviewed a member of the chain gang (the guy who personally held the first down marker side) and he said that the ball was clearly BEHIND the marker, AKA - not a first down.
If you were watching the game, you would agree that the blown call was a total momentum changer and gave Pittsburgh 3 free points, which definitely helped Pittsburgh win that game. I know the Browns are bad, but, to phrase Keyshawn Johnson...
C'MON MAAAAAN!!!
...give 'em a fucking break.

To play devil's advocate somebody could say that bad calls happen all the time in sports, are unfortunately a part of almost all competitive sporting type events, and more emphasis is usually placed on them than how much they really impact the game. For a bad call to matter the other team has to mess up the entire rest of the game to either let the other team hang around or not be enough ahead so the call never mattered. Usually most actual plays (not the outcomes) don't have that much more impact that the dozens of other plays that happen in a game.
Only the Browns.
Clearly a first down IMO.
Just got done watching the Vikings vs. Steelers. Its looks like the old Brett Favre arrived for this game. He had a pick six at a crucial moment (not to mention a fumble a an almost equally important moment earlier) when they could have went ahead or tied in the last seconds of the game. That's the Brett the Packers and Jets remember.

My Indianapolis Colts looked great today against St. Louis High School. A win is a win, and it looks like we'll be 8-0 heading into a showdown with the Patriots. I can't wait for that game!
I have no Idea why this keeps happening to me, yesterday all I needed was a Miami win over Clemson to cash in a 10 team parlay. Now all I need is a Saints win. They are down 11 to the F***ing Dolphins, How do you destroy the Giants but trail against the Dolphins who cant even run a standard offense.
