01:10:15 – TAMPA BAY BUCCANEERS @ WASHINGTON REDSKINS

REDSKINS HOSTING THE BUCCANEERS.  WASHINGTON HAS BEEN STRUGGLING.  THEY HAVE LOST 4 OF THEIR LAST 5 GAMES.  JOSH FREEMAN HAS WON 6 OF HIS LAST 8 STARTS ON THE ROAD. ONTO THE 2^ND BUCCANEERS 4^TH POSSESSION OF THE GAME.  __  __ TRYING TO POWER HIS WAY FORWARD AND HE DOES JUST THAT.  BUT FROM BEHIND DEANGELO HALL POKES THE BALL LOOSE AND THEN RECOVERS IT!  EXCELLENT ALL AROUND EFFORT BY DEANGELO HALL.  1^ST DOWN AT THE REDSKINS 46.  A GREAT PLAY BY HALL.  ENSUING REDSKINS POSSESSION, A 4^TH & GOAL AT THE 1, AND THEY ARE GOING FOR IT, AND THAT IS LOGAN PAULSON WITH HIS 2^ND CAREER CATCH AND 1^ST TOUCHDOWN.  REDSKINS GO UP 7-NOTHING MUCH TO THE DELIGHT OF OWNER DANIEL SNYDER IN THE BOX.  RYAN TURRAIN PLAYING HIS FIRST GAME SINCE WEEK 8.  HE HAD A MONSTER 1^ST HALF.  18 CARRIES FOR 158 YDS. IN THE 1^ST HALF ALONE.  HIS 3^RD CAREER 100 YD. GAIN.  AND THE BUCCANEERS DOWN 10-9 IN THE 4^TH QUARTER TRYING TO MAKE SOMETHING HAPPEN, AND JOSH FREEMAN PASSES TO _ __.  THEY RULE IT DOWN AT THE 1 AND THAT WAS CRUCIAL BECAUSE ON THE VERY NEXT PLAY PULLING GUARD DERRICK HARDMAN KNOCKS THE BALL LOOSE.  REDSKINS RECOVER IN THE END ZONE.  SO INSTEAD OF POTENTIALLY BEING A F.G. OR A TD. FOR T.B.  IT’S A FUMBLE AND A TOUCHBACK.  WASHINGTON GETS A NICE BREAK AS DERRICK HARDMAN WAS PULLING, KNOCKED THE BALL OUT OF FREEMAN’S HANDS.  LONDON FLETCHER RECOVERED IN THE END ZONE.  BUT, IT WOULD BE O.K. FOR T.B.  2^ND & 10 OVER THE MIDDLE TO KELLEN WINSLOW, AND HE SLIPS A MAN, GETS INTO THE END ZONE FOR THE TD.  THEY GO UP 15-10 ON THE ROAD AND DECIDE TO GO FOR A 2 PT. CONVERSION, AND THEY WOULD GET IT.  SO, THE REDSKINS NEED 7 PTS. TO TIE AND THEY WERE MAKING THEIR MOVE.  1^ST DOWN PASS FROM DONOVAN MCNABB TO ANTHONY ARMSTRONG FOR 10 YDS.  NEXT PLAY 32 SECS. LEFT, 1^ST & GOAL FROM THE 2.  THE TV IS WRONG.  IT SAYS 2^nd & 1.  IT’S A 1^ST DOWN PLAY, AND MCNABB THROWS INCOMPLETE.  VERY NEXT PLAY, 2^ND & GOAL.  NOT 3^RD & 1.  THAT IS INCORRECT.  RYAN TURRAIN GETS THE HANDOFF.  HE HAS BEEN UNSTOPPABLE ALL GAME BUT THIS TIME, THE BUCCANEERS DEFENSE COMES UP BIG WITH THE 4 YD. LOSS.  SO, IT IS A 3^RD & GOAL FROM THE 6 FOR WASH.  THEY HAVE TO GET IT INTO THE END ZONE.  17 SECS. LEFT AND IT IS OUT OF THE HANDS!  OH MY GOODNESS.  FRED DAVIS, YOU MISSED AN OPPORTUNITY TO POTENTIALLY TIE THE GAME.  BUT IT’S O.K.  4^th DOWN COMING.  AND DONOVAN MCNABB LOOKS AND HITS SANTANA MOSS ON THE SLANT.  HE GETS INTO THE END ZONE.  A TD.  SO DO THEY GO FOR 2 AND POSSIBLY A WIN OR THE EXTRA POINT TO TIE?  THEY GO FOR THE EXTRA POINT, AND YOU KNOW SOMETHING BAD HAPPENED IF WE ARE SHOWING IT, AND THAT’S WHAT HAPPENED.  NICK __ SNAPPED THE BALL HIGH.  IT WENT THROUGH HOLDER HUNTER SMITH’S HANDS; AND THE BUCCANEERS RECOVERED TO WIN 17-16.

TO THE 31.  THE DRIVE WOULD STALL SO THE BROWNS, AND A MISSED OPPORTUNITY AFTER THAT.  THE BILLS COME BACK TO GET THEM.  RYAN FITZPATRICK FROM THE GUN HITS DAVID NELSON.  HIS 2^ND CAREER TD. CATCH.  BILLS GO UP 7-3.  ONTO THE 4^TH QUARTER.  BROWNS DOWN 10-6.  JAKE DELHOMME.  HIS PASS WAS KNOCKED OUT OF HIS ARM, AND IT IS RULED ON THE FIELD AS AN INCOMPLETE PASS BUT WAIT A SECOND.  CHAN GAILEY SAYS, “LET’S CHALLENGE THIS ONE.  WE THINK THAT IT WAS A FUMBLE.”  AND MOST, ARTHUR MOST HIT THE BALL OUT AND THE PLAY WAS OVERTURNED.  BILLS GET THE BALL AS IT IS CALLED A FUMBLE.  FITZPATRICK THROWS TO FLOYD MCINTYRE.  A 14 YD. GAIN DOWN TO THE 8.  SO THEY WOULD SETTLE FOR A F.G. GOING UP 13-6.  BROWNS TRAILING BY 7.  TRY TO MAKE SOMETHING HAPPEN.  JAKE DELHOMME’S PASS IS INTERCEPTED BY LIOTUS MCCLEVEN AFTER HE IS HIT.  BROWNS FALL TO THE BILLS 13-6.

WITH THE BALL.  2^ND & 5 AT THEIR 25.  AARON RODGERS DECIDES HE’S GONNA BRING IT DOWN AND RUN LIKE HE HAS SO MANY TIMES THIS SEASON.  BUT HE IS HIT HARD AND HIS HEAD IS NAILED AND HITS THE TURF HARD.  HE WOULD STAY IN THERE AND CONTINUE THE DRIVE BUT HE SUFFERED A CONCUSSION AND DID NOT RETURN AFTERWARDS.  HALFTIME SCORE NOTHING-NOTHING.  SO MCLANE COMES INTO THE GAME.  THEY HAVE NICE FIELD POSITION BUT HE IS INTERCEPTED IN THE END ZONE BY __ LEVY.  RETURNS TO THE LIONS 9 YD.

MOVING THE BALL.  DOES MATT FLYNN HAVE SOME MAGIC IN HIM?  3^RD & 1.  THEY HAVE TO CONVERT BUT IT IS A DUCK DOWN THE FIELD AND THE FLOATER FALLS INCOMPLETE.  AND THAT BRINGS UP A 4^TH & 1.  THEY HAVE TO GET IN.  ON THE 9^TH PLAY OF THE DRIVE, FLYNN LOOKING.  GREG JENNINGS END ZONE.  NO FLAG ON THE PLAY.  INCOMPLETE!  LIONS WOULD RUN OUT THE CLOCK AND WIN IT 7-3.  PACKERS ARE NOW 8-5.

01:28:00– INDIANAPOLIS COLTS @ TENNESSEE TITANS 

THURSDAY NIGHT FOOTBALL WHERE YOUR WEEKEND ALWAYS STARTS RIGHT HERE.  WEEK 14 WENT DOWN WITH JEFF FISHER AND THE TENN. TITANS NEEDING THIS WIN JUST AS MUCH AS MANNING, WHO CAME IN WITH 3 STRAIGHT LOSSES.  THE TITANS WERE, ONCE UPON A TIME, 5-2.  THEY CAME IN AT 5-7, AND THIS WAS THE 1^ST MISTAKE OF THE GAME FOR THE T4ENN. TITANS RIGHT THERE WAS PIERRE GARCON IS INTERFERED WITH BY MICHAEL GRIFFIN.  HE GRABBED A BIT OF JERSEY, DID HE NOT?  IT’S HARD TO FIND SAFETIES THAT CAN REALLY COVER LIKE AN ED REED OR A TROY POLAMALU.  IT’S HARD.  THAT LED TO A JAVARUS JAMES 1 YD. SCORE.  2^ND QUARTER, KERRY COLLINS TO KENNY BRITT, BACK AFTER A SEVERAL GAME ABSENCE; AND DWIGHT FREENEY COMES FROM ALL THE WAY ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE FIELD TO KNOCK THE BALL LOOSE.  THE COLTS RECOVER.  THAT’S WHAT THIS DEFENSE DOES.  IT HUSTLES.  IT PURSUES, AND IT’S RELENTLESS TO THE BALL.  HERE THEY GET A TAKEAWAY.  WHAT A BIG TIME PLAY RIGHT THERE AND IT PUT PEYTON MANNING RIGHT BACK ON THE FIELD; AND HE WENT RIGHT AT CORTLAND FINNEGAN ALL NIGHT DEION.  THIS IS A GREAT ARM BAR BY REGGIE WAYNE.  USUALLY A RECEIVER PUTS HIS ARM UP BUT REGGIE WAYNE SWATTED HIS ARM DOWN WHICH TOOK HIS MOMENTUM AWAY FROM THE BALL.  THIS TIME CHRIS HOPE IS ON REGGIE WAYNE, AND THAT’S A FLAG RIGHT THERE.  ON 3^RD DOWN THEY, THE TITANS KEPT ON COMMITTING PENALTIES IN THE RED ZONE.  THESE WERE SOME OF THE CALLS THAT WERE NOT GETTING CALLED LIKE IN THE S.D. GAME AND THE N.E. GAME.  TONIGHT THEY GOT THOSE CALLS.  SO FIRST DOWN FOR THE COLTS NOW AT THE 2.  INSTEAD OF GETTING OFF THE FIELD, THEY WATCHED PIERRE GARCON CATCH THE TD. PASS.  1^ST OF THE NIGHT FOR HIM.  AND THAT’S A 2 SCORE LEAD NOW.  HIS 13^TH STRAIGHT YEAR AS PEYTON MANNING HAS 25 OR MORE TD. PASSES IN A SINGLE SEASON.  2 TITANS DRIVES LATER LOOK OUT.  DISASTER.  KEN __ SNAPS IT OVER BRETT KEARNS HEAD.  TODD SMITH, WHO’S BEEN A SPECIAL TEAMS … LATELY.  JOHNNY ON THE SPOT KIND OF GUY.  HE HAS BEEN.  JOHN __ ON THE SPOT.  COLTS SET UP SHOP INSIDE THE RED ZONE AND YOU DON’T WANT TO DO THAT WITH PEYTON MANNING BACK …YOU HEARD HIM SAY MOMENTS AGO, FROM A PLACE WHERE YOU DIDN’T KNOW WHERE HE WAS.  BUT, AT ANY RATE, THAT’S THE 2^ND TD. CATCH OF THE NIGHT FOR PIERRE GARCON.  FIRST TIME IN HIS CAREER HE’S EVER DONE THAT.  COLTS UP 21-NOTHING.  15 STRAIGHT QUARTERS IT LOOKED LIKE THE TITANS WOULD GO WITHOUT SCORING AN OFF. TD.  BUT CHRIS JOHNSON MAKES A PLAY, OUT OF THE BACKFIELD ON THE DUMP-OFF PASS.  JOHNSON THEN WOULD THEN TAKE IT IN FROM THERE WITH HIS FIRST RUSHING TD. IN 3 WKS.  21-7 AT THE HALF, AND THEN THE TITANS GOT THE BALL TO START THE 2^ND HALF.  RANDY MOSS DID A LOT OF THAT TONIGHT.  SURE DIDN’T PLAY MUCH.  KENNY BRITT WAS BACK AND HE WAS THE MAN TAKING OVER THE #1 RECEIVER’S SPOT EVEN THOUGH HE DIDN’T START; AND KENNY BRITT HAD AN 18 YD. CORRAL ON THE FIRST DOWN OF THE 8, CONVERTING ON 1^ST DOWN, AND THIS CRUCIAL OPENING POSSESSION IN THE 2^ND HALF.  WOUND UP WITH A TD.  TURN THOSE MACHINES BACK ON!  WE’VE GOT A GAME!  CRAIG STEVENS WITH A 7 YD. SCORE!  TITANS FIRST TD. PASS IN 3 WKS. ALSO.  SO IT’S A 1 POSSESSION GAME.  3^RD & GOAL ON THE COLTS NEXT DRIVE.  REGGIE WAYNE.  BROKEN UP BY BLAIR WHITE!  WHAT A GREAT DEF. PLAY BY BLAIR WHITE.  THIS ROOKIE OBVIOUSLY WASN’T IN THE RIGHT PLACE, RIGHT?  AND THOSE ARE SOME OF THE THINGS THAT PEYTON MANNING HAS BEEN TRYING TO WORK THROUGH WITH THE YOUNG GUYS.  SO ADAM VINATIERI HAS TO COME ON FOR A F.G. SETTLE RIGHT THERE TO NOW A 13 PT. LEAD WHEN HERE COMES CHRIS JOHNSON OUT OF THE BACKFIELD.  SOONER OR LATER HE’S GONNA BREAK ONE AND HE’S SO DYNAMIC IN THE OPEN FIELD.  MOOCH, DID YOU HEAR THAT HE’S FAST?  OH YEA.  HE’S FAST!  FASTER THAN FAST; AND A 13 PT. LEAD NOW.. IS CUT DOWN TO 6!  TD. … …, WHO HAD A HORRIBLE MOMENT LAST WEEK DROPPING A SUREFIRE TD. PASS IN A CRUCIAL SPOT MIX-UP FOR ADDAIR.  6 PT. GAIN.  3RD & 5 WITH LESS THAN 5 MINS. TO GO.  HE DIDN’T GO FOR IT, JEFF FISHER DECIDED UPON.  YEA, WITH 1 OR 2 MINS., YOU HAVE TO GO FOR IT FOR SURE.  WITH 4-1/2, IT’S AN EITHER/OR THING.  AND YOU KNEW WHAT WAS GONNA HAPPEN.  PEYTON MANNING OR SOMEBODY WAS GONNA MAKE A PLAY AND IT’S PIERRE GARCON GETTING OUT OF A WHOLE HOST OF TITANS TRYING TO TACKLE HIM; AND THAT’S A BIG TIME PLAY.  INSTEAD OF GETTING OFF THE FIELD POTENTIALLY, GARCON BREAKS A PLAY.  CHRIS HOPE DOESN’T WRAP UP.  THAT’S THE KIND OF PLAY WHERE SOMEBODY THINK THE OTHER GUY’S GONNA GET IT, AND YOU THINK THE OTHER GUY’S GONNA GET IT.  YOU DON’T GIVE IT YOUR FULL EFFORT.  GREAT PLAY BY GARCON.  AND THAT POOR TACKLING LED TO A F.G. BY ADAM VINATIERI, AND YOU SAW PEYTON MANNING HAVE A NICE JOLLY MOMENT WITH HIS INJURED RESERVE ALL-PRO T.E. DALLAS CLARK, WHO’S MAKING THE TRIPS WITH THE COLTS WHO MADE A VERY IMPORTANT BUSINESS TRIP TO TENN. HERE, AND THEY COME OUT WITH A CRUCIAL WIN.  THE TITANS NOW FALL TO 5-8; AND YOU HAVE TO WONDER HOW IN THE WORLD THEY’RE GONNA HAVE A ROAD MAP TO THE PLAYOFFS IF THEY WIN OUT BY TAKING A LOOK AT THE STANDINGS RIGHT HERE.  YOU HAVE TO FIGURE THE WINNER OF THIS DIVISION IS GONNA HAVE AN ABOVE 500 RECORD.  AND NOW THE TITANS WILL HAVE TO GO EVENTUALLY INTO THAT GOOD NIGHT WITH THE V.Y./JEFF FISHER SCENARIO.

01:36:33 – ST. LOUIS RAMS @ NEW ORLEANS SAINTS

THAT’S A TRUE STORY.  ONE WIN CAROLINA.  WE’RE GONNA SEE IT IN A COUPLE OF THURSDAYS ON NFL NETWORK, IN PITTS.  6-6, ST. LOUIS.  THE 1^ST PLACE TEAM THAT’S IN THE SUPERDOME TODAY TAKING ON DREW BREES; AND THE SAINTS WE GOT PIERRE THOMAS BACK; AND NOW MARCUS COLSTON AND DREW BREES SEEM TO BE ON POINT NOW.  THERE’S A TD. ON THE OPENING DRIVE FOR THE SAINTS.  NEXT POSSESSION FOR THE RAMS, STEVEN JACKSON WHO’S GOT A HAND INJURY.  HE’S HOLDING THE BALL IN THE WRONG HAND.  PERHAPS IN HIS HEALTHY HAND.  AND THAT GETS THE BALL LOOSE EVENTUALLY IS ROMAN HARPER, STRIPS HIM.  FUMBLES THE BALL.  SAINTS JABBARI GREER RECOVERS; AND STEVE JACKSON, AS YOU AN SEE… KNOCK THAT THING DOWN.  YEA, IT GOT AWAY FROM HIS BODY RIGHT THERE.  THEY’RE TAUGHT TO KEEP IT TIGHT.  THAT’S WHAT MARSHALL FAULK TOLD ME.  SO PIERRE THOMAS IS BACK AND REGGIE BUSH IS BACK, BUT THEY’RE STILL RUNNING WITH CHRIS __.  WHY NOT?  HE’S BEEN THEIR PRIMARY BALL CARRIER FOR THE BULK OF THE SEASON.  HE RUNS LIKE THIS.  IT’S A QUALITY RUN, 18 YDS.  HE DID, HOWEVER, LEAVE THE GAME WITH A HAMSTRING INJURY LATER ON.  5 PLAYS LATER IT’S __ TO COLSTON AGAIN.  THEY THROW MORE BALLS IN THE SEAMS WITH PHILIP RIVERS MORE THAN ANYBODY WE KNOW, AND COLSTON, ANOTHER TD.  THE SAINTS WERE A PERFECT 6 FOR 6 ON 3^RD DOWN IN THE 1^ST QUARTER.  NOT IN THE WAY YOU WANT TO QUIET THE CROWD IF YOU’RE A TEAM LIKE THE RAMS ON THE ROAD NEEDING A WIN.  WHY ARE WE SHOWING THIS?  BIG PLAYER BOO-BOO.  THAT’S A BOO-BOO.  AS COURTNEY ROBEY RECEIVES THE KICK HE FUMBLES IT.  RAMS RECOVER.  SEAN PAYTON IS STOIC.  2 PLAYS LATER SAM BRADFORD IS… MALCOLM JENKINS THROWING A …  YOU GOTTA PUT IT ON HIM QUICKER.  MOOCH, IT WAS A SLANT IT UP.  IT WAS WIDE OPEN.  IF YOU PUT IT ON HIM QUICKER, HE WOULD’VE BEEN SICK.  NOT THIS WAY BUT THE OTHER WAY.  SO INSTEAD OF HAVING A POTENTIAL GAME-TYING SCORE, THEY WENT FOR 2.  THE SAINTS NOW GO UP IN THE GAME 21-6 HALFTIME.  THAT’S YOUR SCORE 3^RD QUARTER.  DREW BREES TO LANCE MOORE.  SAME ROUTE.  BREES DID HAVE 2 PICKS ON THE DAY BUT HE HAD 3 TDS. TO 221 YDS. AS WELL.  4^TH QUARTER IT’S 31-6.  BRADFORD’S LOOKING FOR MORE PTS. BUT INSTEAD HERE COMES THAT MAN JENKINS AGAIN.  2^ND PICK OF THE DAY.  IT’S INTERCEPTED AGAIN!  HE WAS THINKING ABOUT GOING THE DISTANCE HERE TOO.  SO THE RAMS IMPROVE TO 10-3.

01:38:46 – MIAMI DOLPHINS @ NEW YORK JETS

AND HE COULD NOT FIT THE BILL AS THE BILLS WENT ON TO WIN THAT GAME.  THAT WAS QUICK.  THAT WAS QUICK!  THE JETS COMING OFF OF THAT HORRENDOUS MONDAY NIGHT LOSS.  HOW WOULD THEY REBOUND?  WELL, THEY BURIED THE GAME BALL, RIGHT?  THEY DID BURY THE BALL AND.. THEY SHOULD’VE BURIED THE OFF. PLAYBOOK.  WELL, THEIR FIRST OFF SERIES WAS 3 AND OUT.  THE 2^ND ONE WAS AN INTERCEPTION BY SANCHEZ.  NOLAN POWELL PICKS HIM OFF.  LEFT WITH A DAN CARPENTER F.G. 3-NOTHING.  NEXT SET OF DOWNS.  … BREAKS DOWN.  A FUMBLE FOR SANCHEZ.  KEN LANGFORD HITS HIM.  QUINTON MOSES RECOVERS.  SANCHEZ LOOKS MISERABLE IN THE COLD RAIN.  CHAD HENNE COMES OUT; TAKES THAT EASY GIMME AND TURNS IT INTO EASY PTS.  BRANDON MARSHALL’S ONLY 2 TD. CATCHES ON THE YEAR, BOTH OF THEM AGAINST THE JETS.  HE GETS A LITTLE ZONE COVERAGE.  HE SHOOTS IT IN THERE ON TIME ON THE NUMBER.  10-NOTHING.  THAT’S YOUR DEAL NOW IN THE MIDDLE OF THE 2^ND QUARTER WHEN HENNE..BOOM!  MELVIN CASE HITS HENNE.  … .. RECOVERS FOR THE JETS, AND THE JETS ARE NOW ON THE PLUS SIDE OF THE FIELD, AND THEN A COUPLE OF PLAYS LATER DOWN 10-NOTHING.  NOW ON THE 17, SANCHEZ TO A WIDE OPEN SANTONIO HOLMES!  NO HE DIDN’T!  NO HE DIDN’T!  THAT JOHNNY ON THE SPOT CAN’T GET THE GIMME.  HE’S WON 3 GAMES THERE IN A ROW AND, ALL OF A SUDDEN… THE JETS HAVE TO SETTLE FOR THE F.G.  IT’S 10-3.  THAT’S COWEL POWEL OUT THERE ON A PUNT.  THE REASON WHY WE SHOW THIS TO YOU IS BECAUSE COWEL GOES DOWN HURT, AND THE REASON IS WHY?  IT APPEARS THAT SOMEONE ON THE JETS SIDELINE JUST STUCK OUT A KNEE.  AND THIS IS WOODY HAYES.  HE STUCK OUT…HE’S GONNA GET FINED.  THAT’S UNCONSCIONABLE.  SO..COWEL LEAVES THE GAME.  HE DID COME BACK.  LET’S GO BACK TO THE GAME.  WITH IT STILL BEING 10-3 MID-4^TH QUARTER.  SANCHEZ TO SANTONIO HOLMES!  LISTEN.  HE GOT IT TOGETHER NOW.  BUT THE JETS COULD DO NOTHING WITH THAT EXCEPT SETTLE FOR ANOTHER NICK FOLK F.G.  SO THEY’RE STILL DOWN BY A TD.  DOWN BY 4 PTS. WHEN CHAD HENNE, TRYING TO GET THE 1^ST DOWN WITH 2-1/2 MINS. TO GO AND THE JETS…STAYS INBOUNDS.  GET THE BALL BACK WITH 1 LAST CHANCE TO WORK SOME MAGIC.  HE STAYS IN THERE.  THEY DID IT AGAINST DETROIT.  THEY DID IT AGAINST CLEVELAND.  THEY DID IT AGAINST HOUSTON.  COULD THEY DO IT AGAINST MIAMI?  JERICHO COTCHERY IN TRAFFIC PICKS UP THE 1^ST DOWN WITH LESS THAN 90 TICKS TO GO.  2 PLAYS LATER, SANCHEZ…IS SACKED.  YEP.  HE GOES DOWN.  THE BALL’S LOOSE.  THE JETS DO RECOVER.  NO TIMEOUTS.  3RD & 16 WITH NO TIMEOUTS TO GO.  LESS THAN A MINUTE TO GO.  SANCHEZ TO DUSTIN KELLER.  IT’S INCOMPLETE.  ALMOST PICKED.  NEXT PLAY, LAST CHANCE SALOON.  SANCHEZ, 4 MAN RUSH, IS SACKED; AND THAT’S THE WAY THE JETS FOLLOW UP THE LOSS IN N.E. WITH HOME LOSS IN DIVISION.  SO ONCE AT 9-2, AND IN CONTROL OF THE DIVISION.  THEY’VE NOW LOST 2 IN A ROW IN DIVISION.  THEY’RE NOW 9-4 AND MARK SANCHEZ, WHEN HE’S GOOD HE’S GREAT BUT WHEN HE’S BAD, HE IS TRULY BAD.

01:42:01 – NEW ENGLAND PATRIOTS @ CHICAGO BEARS 

I GOT THIS ONE WRONG DIDN’T I, PRETTY MUCH ACROSS THE BOARD.  A LOT OF SNOW.  A LOT OF COLD AT SOLDIER FIELD.  26 DEGREES AT KICKOFF.  WELL THE PATRIOTS KNOW HOW TO PLAY IN THIS WEATHER.  AND THAT’S BILL BELICHICK.  JUST FIGURED MAYBE THE FIELD WOULD BE BAD, WOULD SLOW DOWN THE PATRIOT MAGIC, AND 2^ND QUARTER.  WELL THE REASON I LIKE THE PATRIOTS AND WHAT THEY DO IN THIS KIND OF WEATHER.  YOU THINK ABOUT IT.  ALL OF THEIR SKILL PLAYERS RUN WITH THEIR FEET UNDERNEATH THEIR PADS.  I.E., THEY DON’T HAVE A LOT OF BODY LEAN.  THE RB’S.  ALL OF THEM… WATCH THEM.  THEY ALL RUN REALLY WELL KEEPING THEIR FEET UNDER THEIR SHOULDER PADS; AND THAT’S THE REASON WHY I THINK THEY’RE SUCCESSFUL.  I ASK YOU A QUESTION.  I UNDERSTAND HOW GOOD THE PATRIOTS ARE TOP TO BOTTOM.  DO YOU THINK THE BEARS HAD A LITTLE BIT OF A LETDOWN IN THEM TODAY KNOWING THAT THE PACKERS LOST EARLIER IN THE DAY?  I DON’T THINK SO.  I JUST THINK THAT THE PATRIOTS ARE A BETTER TEAM.  WELL THAT’S, YES.  JOHNNY KNOX PUTTING IT ON THE GROUND AND GARY __ RETURNING IT 35 YDS.  IT’S 21-NOTHING, N.E., ABOUT HALFWAY THROUGH THE 2^ND QUARTER.  WELL IT’S A N.E. TEAM THAT DOESN’T BEAT ITSELF.  I MEAN YOU CANNOT MAKE THOSE TYPES OF MISTAKES AND THEN EXPECT TO OVERCOME THEM AGAINST THIS PATRIOTS TEAM.  AND THEY GO ALL OF THIS STILL THOUGH IS THE PLAY OF TOM BRADY.  HE HAS BEEN ABSOLUTELY FLAWLESS.  HERE WE GO.  DOLPHINS/PATRIOTS, DEC. ’92, SNOWPLOW COMES OUT.  CLEARS THE FIELD SO THE PATS CAN KICK THE GAME WINNING F.G.  ARE WE GONNA SHOW THIS EVERY TIME, EVERY SNOW GAME FOR THE PATRIOTS; BECAUSE EVEN THOUGH THE GAME WASN’T CLOSE, WE JUST WANT TO SHOW THIS BECAUSE THE GAME WASN’T CLOSE.  AND THAT WAS THE WINNING F.G.  IT’S KIND OT HE SEAGUEWAY TO THE PATRIOTS NOW.  THE SCORE’S 28-NOTHING.  KICKING A F.G. IS NOTHING IN THIS GAME.  THE SCORE IS 21-NOTHING.  BUT THAT’S O.K.  JUST CHECKING.  SHANE GRAHAM 25 YDS. OUT.  PATRIOTS HAVE 24-NOTHING.  DO YOU GUYS HAVE AN EXTRA BEDROOM BECAUSE I DON’T THINK I’M GETTING HOME TONIGHT LOOKING AT THAT WEATHER.  CAN I STAY WITH ONE OF YOU GUYS?  SURE.  CUTLER SACKED BY ERIC MOORE.  RECOVERED BY JAROD MAYO AT THE BEARS 9.  ANOTHER F.G. MADE IT 27-NOTHING.  NEXT, PATRIOTS POSSESSION, BRADY TO DEION BRANCH.  I MEAN HOW DO YOU LET THIS HAPPEN?  THERE’S NO TIME LEFT ON THE CLOCK.  HOW DO YOU NOT RUN 3 ACROSS PROTECTING… COVER 2 WOULD’VE BEEN FINE.  YOU CAN’T RUN A ..  SURE YOU CAN!  7 SECS. LEFT TO GO.  ALL YOU HAVE TO DEFEND IS THE DEEP BALL.  THE PATRIOTS 36 TO … WHY WOULD YOU PUT THAT ON A ROOKIE SAFETY?  RUN 3 ACROSS.

H.S. EDUCATION.  THAT’S RIGHT.  MATT HASSELBECK PICKED OFF BY CHRIS BAKER OR INTENDED FOR CHRIS BAKER.  INTERCEPTED BY DESHAWN GOLDSON, 39 YD. NINER TD.  AND S.F. ROLLS 40-21.  5-8 IS PRETTY GOOD IN THE NFC WEST GUYS BECAUSE THE RAMS GONNA LOSE TO THE SAINTS.  S.F. AT 5-8, JUST 1 GAME OUT OF 1^ST PLACE.  YOU’RE PRETTY SMART.  AND LOOK AT ALEX SMITH.

01:46:03 – PHILADELPHIA EAGLES @ DALLAS COWBOYS

DALLAS PUT A HIGHLIGHT OF THIS MATCHUP.  WHAT A JOB MICHAEL JASON GARRETT HAS DONE AS THE INTERIM HEAD COACH FOR THE DALLAS COWBOYS.  SAY WHAT YOU WILL.  HE HAS GOT THIS TEAM PLAYING GOOD FOOTBALL, AND THEY PLAYED GOOD FOOTBALL TONIGHT.  THEY JUST CAME UP SHORT.  EXCEPT FOR THAT.  WE SAW THIS AGAINST THE REDSKINS AS WELL.  NO ONE’S PREPARED FOR THIS!  WHEN MICHAEL VICK IS ABLE TO ROLL TO HIS LEFT AND THROW BACK ACROSS THE FIELD, I DON’T THINK THE ENTIRE NFL IS PREPARED FOR A PLAY LIKE THAT.  WENT 60 YDS. TO JACKSON AND HE KEEPS HIT HIMSELF PLUS HE GETS THE ONE-HANDED JAM.  EAGLES ON TOP 7-NOTHING.  COWBOYS THOUGH COMING RIGHT BACK.  A LOT OF FIGHT.  KITNA TO JASON WITTEN FOR THE 1 YD. TD.  GAME TIED UP AT 7.  2^ND QUARTER SAME SCORE, AND IT’S MICHAEL VICK.  HE PICKS UP A 6 YDS. BUT HE GETS TATTOOED COACH BY ANTHONY SPENCER.  HE DOES, AND THIS IS A DESIGNED ROLL OUT MOVE PLAY TO…IT DIDN’T GET CALLED AS A PENALTY.  THOUGHT FOR SURE, RIGHT THERE, A LITTLE EXCESSIVE PUSH RIGHT AT THE END.  SHOULD’VE BEEN A PENALTY.  YOU HIT PEYTON MANNING LIKE THAT YOU’RE GETTING ARRESTED.  LOOK AT ANDY REID.  ANDY REID OFF THE CHARTS.  I WONDER WHAT ANDY REID IS TELLING THE OFFICIALS THERE DEION!  A COUPLE OF POSSESSIONS LATER IT’S VICK TO DESEAN JACKSON, AND WHAT A NIGHT THIS MAN HAD.  37 YDS. TO THE 2 YD. LINE.  BOY, YOU TALK ABOUT A GUY THAT’S FAST AND A GUY THAT’S QUICK.  THAT MEANS I GET QUICK, I GET FAST IN A HURRY.  SOMEBODY BETTER CHECK TODD HERRAMENS.  IT’S THE 2 YD. TD. BIG FELLA.  EAGLES UP 14-7.  THEY LED 14-7 AT THE HALF.  I LIKE MICHAEL ROLLING TO HIS RIGHT.  DOESN’T DO THAT A LOT.  ALRIGHT, MICHAEL VICK ROLLS TO HIS RIGHT, AS YOU SAID.  TYPICALLY, THINGS HAVEN’T GONE WELL.  THIS ONE THOUGH NOT AS FAR.  JEREMY MACLIN .. A LITTLE HIGH.  BUT THAT’S A TOUGHER THROW GOING TO HIS RIGHT.  DOESN’T COMPLETE A LOT OF PASSES BUT GOTTA CATCH THAT ONE.  SMALL RECEIVER IN THE MIDDLE OF THE FIELD.  HE KNOWS HE’S GONNA TAKE A HIT.  PUT YOUR BODY ON THAT BALL, BUDDY.  KITNA DUMPS IT OFF TO FELIX JONES, AND HE COULD GET GOING FOR BIG PLAYS.  36 YDS. DOWN TO THE 2 YD. LINE, AND JONES FINISHING WHAT HE STARTED.  GIVING PHILA. A TASTE OF THEIR OWN MEDICINE.  NO ONE RUNS SCREENS BETTER THAN THE PHILA. EAGLES.  COWBOYS ON TOP 20-14!  THE EAGLES THOUGH COMING RIGHT BACK ON THE 1^ST PLAY OF THE VERY NEXT DRIVE.  LESEAN MCCOY, WHAT A JOB HE’S DONE RUNNING BETWEEN THE TACKLES AND THEN HE’S SO TOUGH TO GET DOWN ONCE HE FINDS SOME SPACE.  HE’S NOT JUST AN OUTSIDE RUNNER AND A SCREEN CATCHER.  THIS GUY RUNS IN BETWEEN THE TACKLES.  HE’S A PHYSICAL GUY, FAST GUY.  DOES IT ALL.  56 YDS. 20-17.  DAVID AKERS KNOCKS IN A F.G. AND …IT IS VICK TO DESEAN JACKSON.  UH OH.  THEY BOTH… LET ME TELL YOU, AS A CORNERBACK, YOU NEVER RISK A PLAY OF THIS MAGNITUDE AT THIS TIME IN THE GAME.  TIGHT GAME.  MAKE THE SURE TACKLE.  YOU KNOW YOU’RE NOT GONNA GET THE FAKE.  MAKE THE PLAY.  AND HE WAS .. THERE FOR UNSPORTSMAN LIKE CONDUCT.  BUT HE’S NOT IN THE END ZONE.  THAT’S A NICE CELEBRATION IF YOU ASK ME.  BUT HE IS …THEY’RE PICKING ON HIM.  THEY CALL HIM THE NESTEA PLUNGE BACK IN THE DAY.  27-20 EAGLES ON TOP.  COWBOYS TRYING TO GET SOMETHING GOING.  KITNA IS PICKED OFF BY DIMITRI PATTERSON.  WAS LATE COMING OUT OF THAT BREAK.  YOU GOTTA COME OUT OF THAT BREAK, PUT YOUR FOOT IN THE GROUND AND DRIVE THROUGH THAT DEF. BACK.  YOU GOTTA PROTECT YOUR QB.  LED TO A DAVID AKERS F.G.  HERE COME THE COWBOYS AGAIN.  KITNA SCRAMBLING FOR A KEY 10 YD. GAIN ON A 4^TH & 7.  SO JERRY JONES SAYS, “COME ON BOYS!  LET’S GET IT DONE!”  SAY WHAT YOU WANT ABOUT JOHN KITNA.  HE’S EARNED THE STARTING JOB SOMEWHERE NEXT SEASON FOR SOME TEAM.  KITNA NOW TO WITTEN, 22 YDS. AND THE TD.  WITTEN’S 2^ND TD. OF THE GAME.  COWBOYS VERY MUCH ALIVE.  30-27.  PHILLY ON TOP.  NOW YOU GOTTA PLAY DEFENSE.  GET THE BALL BACK!  NICE JOB THOUGH BY PHILA. RUNNING A 4 MIN. OFFENSE.  MICHAEL TO MCCOY WITH THE 19 YD. GAIN THERE; AND THEN WITH 2:33 LEFT, WE’RE GONNA SEE MICHAEL VICK SCRAMBLE AND STAY INBOUNDS.  YEA, SMART PLAY RIGHT HERE.  MICHAEL VICK.  HE UNDERSTANDS, HEY, WE WANT TO KEEP THE CLOCK GOING.  THIS IS A 3^RD & 1.  THEY GO AND GET THE 1^ST DOWN AND THEY’RE ABLE TO MILK THE CLOCK AFTER THAT BUT MCCOY GIVES THE PHILA. EAGLES SOMETHING WE HAVEN’T SEEN IN A LONG TIME, AND THAT’S THIS RIGHT HERE.  IT’S THE ABILITY TO RUN BETWEEN THE TACKLES TO FINISH A FOOTBALL GAME TO END THE GAME AND SEND A TEAM HOME.  THAT’S WHAT MCCOY DOES.
