01:10:15 – ATLANTA FALCONS @ CHICAGO BEARS

 

BEARS HOSTING THE FALCONS.  ATLANTA 13-3 LAST YEAR.  BEST RECORD IN THE NFC IN THE REGULAR SEASON, AND BOTH TEAMS HAD ONE THING IN COMMON.  THEY WERE BOTH ELIMINATED BY THE PACKERS IN THE PLAYOFFS.  CHICAGO, THEY LOOKED GOOD ON THIS DAY.  JAY CUTLER, EARLY ON, HE WOULD FIND ROY WILLIAMS, HIS NEW RECEIVER FROM DALLAS FOR A GAIN OF 23 ON THEIR FIRST POSSESSION.  1ST DOWN FOR THE BEARS.  BALL AT MIDFIELD.  THIS TIME CUTLER WILL THROW IT SHORT DUMPING IT OFF TO MATT FORTE.  NIFTY MOVE TO THE OUTSIDE.  TRIES TO HIT THE SIDELINES.  BROUGHT DOWN BUT NOT BEFORE PICKING UP 23.  THEIR 10 PLAY DRIVE WOULD STALL AT THE FALCONS 23.  THEY GOT A F.G.  AND THEN ATLANTA TRIED TO GET TO WORK.  THAT IS THE FIRST CATCH OF JULIO JONES, NFL CAREER.  THEY TREATED A BOATLOAD OF PICKS TO GRAB HIM IN THE DRAFT.  WOULD IT MAKE A DIFFERENCE ON THIS DAY?  NOT WITH MATT RYAN THROWING PICKS.  BRIAN URLACHER WITH THE TIMING INTERCEPTION.  HE WOULD HAVE A MONSTER DAY FOR THE BEARS.  RYAN 301 YDS., A TD. AND A PICK ON THE GAME.  AND MATT FORTE GETTING IT DONE IN THE PASSING GAME ONCE AGAIN.  BOUNCING OFF JOHN ABRAHAM, STAYING ON HIS FEET.  TAKING IT ALL THE WAY TO THE HOUSE FOR A 56 YD. TD.  BEARS GO UP 10-3.  HE’S LOOKING FOR A NEW CONTRACT AND HE’S PLAYING LIKE HE DESERVES ONE.  MICHAEL TURNER TRYING TO GET IT DONE OR THE FALCONS AND HE LOSES CONTROL OF THE BALL.  JULIUS PEPPERS MAKING THE RECOVERY FOR CHICAGO.  TURNER JUST HAD THE BALL KNOCKED OUT BY PEANUT TILLMAN AND THE BEARS ARE COVERED.  NOTHING GOING RIGHT EARLY ON FOR ATLANTA.  MATT RYAN WITH THE BALL IN THE SHOTGUN, AND HE IS BROUGHT DOWN IN THE BACKFIELD.  SACKED.  FALCONS OFFENSE LOOKING SHAKY EARLY ON.  A LOSS OF 8 ON THE PLAY.  BEARS DEFENSE LOOKING STRONG.  JAY CUTLER ROLLING OUT TO HIS RIGHT WITH HIS TEAM UP 13-3.  THROWS BACK ACROSS THE FIELD.  OVERTHROWS A WIDE OPEN KELLEN DAVIS.  SO ROBBIE GOULD WOULD ADD A F.G.  BEARS GO UP 16-3 AT THE HALF.  NICE PLAY FAKE FROM CHICAGO.  BACK TO DEVIN HESTER WITH THE MOVES.  TRYING TO BURST UP FIELD.  GETTING SOME HELP FROM HIS BLOCKERS DOWNFIELD.  HE IS GOING TO TAKE THIS ONE ALL THE WAY TO THE HOUSE!  IT IS BEARS DOMINATION IN CHICAGO.  53 YD. SCORE FOR DEVIN HESTER.  AND HE ACTUALLY DID STEP OUT OF BOUNDS AT THE 1.  AND SO JAY CUTLER WOULD HAVE TO WIND UP WITH A TD. TO MATT SPAETH INSTEAD.  BUT, SAME RESULT FOR CHICAGO.  A TD.  THEY GO UP 23-6.  6 MINS. LEFT IN THE FIRST.  MATT RYAN IN TROUBLE.  TRYING TO PULL A MICHAEL VICK BUT HE LEAVES THE BALL ON THE GROUND.  BRIAN URLACHER PICKS IT UP.  ALREADY WITH THE PICK.  THIS TIME WITH THE FUMBLE RECOVERY AND A TD.  RUNS IT IN FROM 12 YDS. AWAY.  MATT RYAN IN TROUBLE, PUTS THE BALL ON THE GROUND, AND CHICAGO WAS THERE TO PICK IT UP.  BRIAN URLACHER WITH A MONSTER GAME.  FIRST TIME HE HAS HAD A DEFENSIVE TD. FUMBLE RECOVERY AND A PICK IN THE SAME GAME.  AND NOTHING GOING RIGHT FOR MATT RYAN.  SACK BY OMABI AKOYE, AND THE BEARS ROLL TO VICTORY 30-12.

 

01:13:30 – PITTSBURGH STEELERS @ BALTIMORE RAVENS

 

QUITE POSSIBLY THEE MOST ANTICIPATED GAME OF WK. 1 SUNDAY.  BEN ROETHLISBERGER STEELERS AGAINST RAY LEWIS’ BALTIMORE RAVENS.  ALWAYS A CLASSIC IN THE AFC NORTH.  BALTIMORE’S OPENING POSSESSION.  HOW ABOUT GETTING RAY RICE INVOLVED.  NOT A BAD IDEA.  IT’S ..WELL IT’S UNUSUAL THAT THEY WERE ABLE TO RUN THE FOOTBALL AS WELL AS THEY WERE EARLY.  LAST YEAR THESE TEAMS PLAYED 3 TIMES.  RAY RICE 84 YDS. COMBINED IN ALL 3 GAMES.  I THOUGHT JOE FLACCO WAS EVEN BETTER THAN RAY RICE, JIM.  I WOULD AGREE.  HE’S OUTSTANDING.  THIS IS YEAR 2 OF THE JOE FLACCO DEBATE BETWEEN THE 2 OF YOU.  NO!  I LOVE JOE FLACCO.  HE’S JUST GOTTA GO TO THE NEXT LEVEL.  WE’LL WAIT TILL JANUARY.  NOTHING WRONG WITH THAT.  RAVENS UP 7-NOTHING.  BEN ROETHLISBERGER SACKED BY TERRELL SUGGS.  RECOVERED BY __ NODA AT THE PITTS. 37.  WHAT ..4 BEN ROETHLISBERGER’S SACKS TODAY.  DOESN’T LOOK HAPPY.  NO.  RAY RICE.  GIVE IT RIGHT BACK TO HIM.  LOOK AT THAT HARD RUNNING.  THEY RAN RIGHT OVER THIS FIELD.  EVERY SCORING..  IN YOUR FACE!  I CANNOT REMEMBER A TIME WHERE THE STEELERS HAVE LOOKED LESS LIKE THE STEELERS IN THE LAST 4 OR 5 YRS.  RAY RICE WOULD LATER RUN IT IN FOR A TD.  BACK TO THE STEELERS OFFENSE.  RASHARD MENDENHAHL 23 YDS.  YOU’RE GOING TO SEE VERY FEW HIGHLIGHTS FROM THE STEELERS.  WE HAVE ANOTHER ONE COMING UP HERE BECAUSE 9TH PLAY OF THE DRIVE, 3RD & GOAL FROM THE 11.  BEN ROETHLISBERGER, NOT GONNA STAY IN THE POCKET IS HE?  NO.  …TO THE LEFT, ACROSS THE BODY.  THERE’S NOTHING YOU CAN DO.  TOO MUCH TIME.  YOU CAN’T COVER IN THE END ZONE THAT LONG.  2 POSSESSIONS LATER FOR THE RAVENS.  GOOD DECISION.  CHECKING IT DOWN TO RAY RICE.  LETTING HIM DO THE REST.  25 YD. GAIN TO THE 15; AND RAY RICE WITH 150 YDS. RECEIVING AND RUSHING.  RUSHED FOR OVER 1,000 YDS.; AND YOU SAY BRIAN MCKINNEY THERE DOING A GREAT JOB ALLOWING JOE FLACCO TO HAVE THE TIME TO GET THE BALL TO RAY RICE.  NICE WORK.  BRIAN MCKINNEY HAD A VERY NICE AFTERNOON.  OZZIE NEWSOME DOESN’T ALLOW TOO MANY MISTAKES, DOES HE?  SOMEBODY SHOULD BLOCK __ __ .  NOW I DON’T KNOW.  MAYBE IT’S JUST ME BUT HE SHOULDN’T BE CLINGING LIKE THAT.  COMES IN WITH A HUGE HIT.  ALSO RECOVERED THE FUMBLE TURNING IT OVER TO THE BALT. OFFENSE.  FLACCO..ED DIXON.  19 SECS. INTO THE 2ND HALF.  AND THE RAVENS LEADING 29-7.  COUPLE OF PITTS. POSSESSIONS LATER.  ROETHLISBERGER LOOKING FOR HEATH MILLER BUT EVERY NOW AND THEN ED REED IS HANGING AROUND BACK THERE READY TO DO THAT.  WELL ED WAS THERE A COUPLE TIMES.  YEA, ED HAD 8 INTERCEPTIONS LAST YEAR IN 8 GAMES?  HE’S ON A QUICKER PACE THIS YEAR.  HE HAD 2 TODAY.  THAT LED TO A F.G. WHEN BALT. LED 32-7 INTO THE 4TH QUARTER; AND WE’VE SEEN THIS BEFORE.  ROETHLISBERGER TO ED REED.  ED’S BACK THERE WATCHING HIM!  THAT’S ROETHLISBERGER’S 4TH TURNOVER THE AFTERNOON.  3RD INTERCEPTION.  MIKE TOMLIN SAYS PUT IT BEHIND US.  WAS THAT A KISS?  I THINK IT WAS.  O.K.  IT WAS A CHEEK.  I DON’T THINK HE TURNED HIS CHEEK.  RAY RICE 107 YDS. RUSHING AND 1 KISS FROM THE HEAD COACH FOR 1 HUGE WIN FOR THE RAVENS.  35-7 OVER PITTSBURGH.

 

01:16:55 – CINCINNATI BENGALS @ CLEVELAND BROWNS

 

HOW ABOUT THE OTHER 2 TEAMS IN THE AFC NORTH?  THE BROWNS AND THE BENGALS.  PAT SHURMER TAKING OVER AS THE BROWNS HEAD COACH.  COLT MCCOY OFFICIALLY THEE STARTING QB.  … DALTON, THE 5TH QB TAKEN IN THIS YEAR’S DRAFT GETTING HIS FIRST START.  1ST QUARTER, DALTON TO LAST YEAR’S 1ST ROUND PICK, JERMAINE GRESHAM.  22 YDS. TO THE BROWNS 6.  NICE JOB.  PUMP FAKE TO THE RIGHT SIDE.  YOU SAW RIGHT THERE HOLDING THAT SAFETY, PULLING THAT SAFETY OVER.  YOUNG QB LIKES A GOD T.E., RIGHT?  WHERE IS THAT GUY?  THERE HE IS.  PUTTING IN THE SPOT FOR GRESHAM… AND HE DROPPED ONE EARLY IN THE GAME ALSO THAT WAS A BIG PLAY FROM DALTON.  2ND QUARTER CINCY LEADING 13-NOTHING.  DO YOU KICK IT TO JOSH CRIBBS?  ANSWER HERE IS YES.  51 YDS. OUT TO THE 53 YD. LINE.  I THINK YOU’RE GONNA SEE A LOT OF THESE GREAT RETURN GUYS CATCHING THE BALL 6, 7, 8 YDS. DEEP AND BRINGING IT OUT THIS YEAR.  YEA, I THINK SO.  COLT MCCOY ROLLING RIGHT, SETTING UP COMING BACK ACROSS THE FIELD.  WELL DESIGNED PLAY.  NICE JOB OF HANGING ON TO THAT ONE.  GREAT JOB.  BROWNS DOWN 13-7.  COLT ONE OF THE GUYS THAT I WANTED TO SEE WHETHER IT WAS REAL OR NOT WHAT WE SAW IN THE PRESEASON.  THIS IS REAL.  MUHAMMAD MASAQUA SLIPS BEHIND THE BENGAL DEFENSE.  THE BENGALS 5.  WELL YOU SAW PRETTY MUCH THE 2 BIG PLAYS FROM COLT TODAY.  JUST 19 OR 40 FOR 213.  ONE OF THOSE 19 COMPLETIONS.  FITS IT INTO EVAN MOORE FOR A 2 YD. SCORE.  I THINK HE’S GOING TO A SOLID QB.  I KNOW HE LACKS SOME OF THE PROTOTYPICAL BIG ARM NFL TRAITS.  DREW BREES DOESN’T HAVE A BIG ARM EITHER.  … LOOKING FOR THE 4TH OVERALL PICK.  A.J. GREEN A LITTLE HIGH AND COMPLETE CRUSHED.  DALTON WAS HURT ON THAT PLAY.  WOULD BE CHECKED OUT BY THE TEAM DOCTORS.  ATTEMPTED TO THROW IN THE SIDELINE AFTERWORD BUT DID NOT RETURN.  AN APPARENT RIGHT WRIST INJURY.  BROWNS UP 14-13 AT HALFTIME.  THEY HIT UP IN THIS LEAGUE.  GRATKOWSKI WILL GET THE CALL.  4TH QUARTER, BENGALS DOWN

17-13.  THERE IS THE RIGHT WRIST…YOU CAN TAPE UP AN OFF. LINEMAN’S HAND LIKE THAT?  GRATKOWSKI DUMPS IT OFF TO FULLBACK BRIAN LEONARD.  PICKS UP 22 YDS. TO THE CLEVELAND 40.  3 PLAYS LATER IT’S 3RD DOWN & 11 AT THE BROWNS 41, AND GRATKOWSKI CATCHES THE BROWNS DEFENSE OFF-GUARD.  THIS CAN’T HAPPEN.  IF YOU’RE A BROWNS TEAM THAT’S LOOKING TO TAKE THAT NEXT STEP, YOU’RE FACING A BENGALS TEAM THAT’S IN COMPLETE REBUILDING MODE.  YOU CANNOT HAVE THESE TYPES OF MISTAKES.  ABSOLUTELY NOT.  THEY HAD TO BE LICKING THEIR CHOPS AT THE OPPORTUNITY; AND I  UNDERSTAND IT’S A GOOD RIVALRY AND AN OPPORTUNITY BUT NO, NO.  YOU JUST START 1-0.  ABSOLUTELY.  1 LAST CHANCE FOR THE BROWNS.  4TH & 8.  MCCOY UNDER PRESSURE.  BALL’S OUT.  DON’T THROW IT TO THE GUY WEARING DOUBLE NICKELS.  THAT’S CORRECT.  CED BENSON.  HOW ABOUT CEDRIC?  121 RUSHING YDS. TODAY.  I’M SURE HE’S GLAD HE WENT TO THE POINT.  TOOK CARE OF THAT LITTLE PROBLEM HE HAD.  39 YD. TOUCH.  THE GUY CAN PLAY.  BENGALS COME FROM BEHIND TO WIN 27-17.

 

01:20:08 – TENNESSEE TITANS @ JACKSONVILLE JAGUARS.

 

AFC SOUTH BATTLE.  CHRIS JOHNSON MAKING HIS SEASON DEBUT WITHOUT MUCH TRAINING CAMP TIME.  MAURICE JONES-DREW WITHOUT MUCH PRESEASON TIME.  1ST QUARTER, RIGHT UP THE MIDDLE.  YEA.  DARE I SAY UNTOUCHED.  YES YOU MAY.  YES YOU MAY.  OFF. LINE DOING A GOOD JOB, AND THEY DID THAT WITHOUT EVAN BRITTON I BELIEVE AS OUT TODAY; AND THEY DID IT …DEFENSE THAT WAS PLAYING 9 MAN FRONTS TOO.  JACKSONVILLE DEFENSE WAS EXCELLENT AGAINST CHRIS JOHNSON.  HE WAS HARDLY A FACTOR.  HASSELBECK SACKED BY DREW COLEMAN.  JACKSONVILLE DEFENSE THAT STRUGGLED IN A LOT OF AREAS.  THIS IS A SHAME ON YOU..ONE OF THE SHAME ON YOU GAMES, IF YOU ASK ME.  LUKE MCGOWAN GETTING THE START AFTER DAVID GARRARD WAS RELEASED.  MERCEDES LEWIS, NEW CONTRACT AND A 20 YD. GAIN.  JUST ME FOR PICKING THE TITANS.  LOTS OF PEOPLE QUESTIONING THE JAGUARS RECEIVERS; JASON HILL THE TOP WIDE OUT ALONG WITH MIKE THOMAS.  18 YD.

AND IT’S 10-NOTHING JACKSONVILLE.  3RD QUARTER NOW.  13-NOTHING.  MATT HASSELBECK.  THIS IS A LITTLE JUNK PLAY HERE.  FINDS KENNY BRITT.  NICE JOB …THE REST IS THE SPEED OF KENNY BRITT.  UNBELIEVABLE.  BUT, AGAIN, THE OFFENSE OF THE TITANS WAS HIDEOUS TODAY.  WELL, C.J., 9 CARRIES, 24 YDS.  9 CARRIES.  24 YDS.  SOMEBODY’S GOTTA BLOCK SOMEBODY.  2 TENN. POSSESSIONS LATER, HASSELBECK COMING RIGHT BACK TO KENNY BRITT.  MORE OF A CONVENTIONAL HOOKUP.  THAT’S LIKE A MILL. 5 PER YARD, ISN’T IT?  SOMETHING LIKE THAT.  COULD BE.  THAT’S A 1ST & 10 TO THE JACKSONVILLE 43.  LATER IN THAT DRIVE HASSELBECK TO BRITT AGAIN.  KENNY BRITT CAN FLAT PLAY.  YOU CAN TELL HIM ON THE STRAIGHT AND NARROW.  HE CAN FLAT PLAY.  IF YOU CAN JUST KEEP HIM ON THE FIELD.  YES.  IF HE CAN KEEP BOTH FEET IN THERE WHICH HE DOES.  1 & 2.  6 PTS.

01:22:54 – INDIANAPOLIS COLTS @ HOUSTON TEXANS

 

TEXANS HOSTING THE COLTS FOR THE 2ND STRAIGHT SEASON OPENER.  ARIAN FOSTER ON THE BENCH WITH A HAMSTRING INJURY.  IT WOULD BE MATT SCHAUB LEADING THE OFFENSE AND KERRY COLLINS SIGNED BY THE COLTS IN AUGUST, GETTING THE START.  IT WAS A ROUGH BEGINNING FOR INDIANAPOLIS.  COLLINS BACK AND HE GETS SACKED.  BROUGHT DOWN BY MARIO WILLIAMS FOR A LOSS OF 9.  THEY WOULD PUNT AND THEN LATER ..IT WASN’T MUCH BETTER AFTER THAT.  COLLINS STRIPPED THE BALL.  PICKED UP BY SHAWN CODY AT THE 12.  HOUSTON WITH A BIG BREAK EARLY ON.  KERRY COLLINS JUST DIDN’T EVEN SEE IT COMING.  LOST THE BALL AND HOUSTON WITH A GREAT START TO THE GAME.  3 PLAYS LATER A 1ST & GOAL.  DERRICK WARD GETTING INTO THE END ZONE FOR A 1 YD. SCORE.  TEXANS UP 10-NOTHING.  TAKING ADVANTAGE OF THE TURNOVER, WARD WOULD NOT BE STOPPED.  STRETCHING HIS ARMS OUT TO GET THE TD, AND THAT PUTS THE TEXANS UP 10-NOTHING.  MORE MISTAKES FOR THE COLTS.  KERRY COLLINS MISSES THE EXCHANGE FROM CENTER AND A.J. .., THE FIRST ROUND PICK, FALLS ON IT FOR HOUSTON.  JUST A BAD EXCHANGE ALL THE WAY ROUND.  COLLINS AND JEFF SATURDAY NEED TO GET ON THE SAME PAGE.  10-NOTHING, AND THEN JUST 3 PLAYS LATER.  THIS TIME IT’S BEN TATE GETTING INTO THE END ZONE PUTTING THE TEXANS UP 17-NOTHING.  EACH R.B. REPLACING ARIAN FOSTER WITH A SCORE EARLY ON.  ONTO THE 2ND TEXANS DRIVE, AND THAT IS GOOD TO ANDRE JOHNSON.  21 YDS. AND A 1ST DOWN.  HE FINISHED WITH 95 YDS. AND A TD. BUT FINISHING OFF THAT DRIVE A PLAY FAKE THAT FAKED OUT THE CAMERAMAN ON TV.  ANDRE JOHNSON WITH THE SCORE FROM 4 YDS. OUT ON THE PLAY ACTION.  HE STUCK WITH IT AFTER THE BALL WAS TIPPED.  TEXANS UP 24-NOTHING AND THEY COULD DO IT ON SPECIAL TEAMS AS WELL.  JACOBI JONES FIELDS THE PUNT AND TAKES IT ALL THE WAY DOWN THE LEFT SIDELINE. ONLY HAS 1 MAN TO BEAT.  HE DOES IT INTO THE END ZONE.  A 79 YD. SCORE FOR JACOB JONES.  BARELY STAYING INBOUNDS.  TEXANS UP 34-NOTHING.  THAT’S DARING THE COLTS WITH THEIR LARGEST DEFICIT IN TEAM HISTORY.  THEY WERE DOWN 34-NOTHING BEFORE KERRY COLLINS COULD FINALLY GET SOMETHING GOING; AND HE ENDS UP THROWING A TD. TO REGGIE WAYNE.  FANCY FOOTWORK ON THAT ONE FROM 6 YDS. OUT IN THE BACK OF THE END ZONE.  GREAT JOB BY REGGIE WAYNE TO MAKE THE GRAB.  HE HAD 7 CATCHES, 106 YDS., AND THAT TD.  34-7.  THE COLTS TRYING TO MAKE SOMETHING ELSE AND SAME OLD STORY FOR KERRY COLLINS.  MARIO WILLIAMS SACKS HIM BUT JEFF SATURDAY RECOVERED.  TEXANS WITH THE OPENING WIN, 34-7.

 

01:25:47 – BUFFALO BILLS @ KANSAS CITY CHIEFS

 

BILLS AT THE CHIEFS.  BUFFALO 4-12 A YEAR AGO LOOKING TO TURN THAT AROUND.  CHIEFS, THE DEFENDING AFC WEST CHAMPIONS.  OPENING KICKOFF DID NOT START THE GAME WELL FOR K.C.  DEXTER MCCLUSTER TAKING THE BALL OUT FROM THE END ZONE, AND HE FUMBLES.  BUFFALO JUMPS ON TOP OF IT AT THE 25 YD. LINE.  A GREAT START TO THE GAME FOR THE BILLS, AND YOU KNOW TODD HALEY IS NOT HAPPY WITH MCCLUSTER.  AND THEN RYAN FITZPATRICK WOULD MAKE HIM PAY.  THE TD. PASS TO SCOTT CHANDLER, THE FIRST OF HIS CAREER.  BUFFALO UP 7-NOTHING.  THE FIRST OF MANY TDS. ON THE DAY FOR FITZPATRICK.  COMES RIGHT BACK BEFORE THE END OF THE 1ST QUARTER.  GOING UP HIGH IS STEVIE JOHNSON.  HAD 10 TD. CATCHES A YEAR AGO, ALREADY WITH ONE.  GO WITH THE FAKE SPIKE FOR THE CELEBRATION.  BILLS UP 14-NOTHING IN K.C.  A LITTLE BIT OF A PUSH OFF BUT STEVIE JOHNSON COMES DOWN WITH THE BALL AND THE AMISH RIFLE ALREADY WITH 2 TDS. IN THE GAME.  2ND QUARTER, K.C. COMING BACK DRIVING, AND THERE’S A BALL LOBED INTO THE END ZONE FOR LEONARD POKE WITH A NICE GRAB IN THE END ZONE.  LOOKS LIKE A TD. BUT ANOTHER LOOK AND MAYBE HE DID NOT GET HIS FEET INBOUNDS.  DID HE HAVE CONTROL OF THE BALL?  AND HE DID NOT MAINTAIN POSSESSION WHEN HE HIT THE GROUND.  SO IT WAS RULED IN COMPLETE AND RYAN SUCCUPP WOULD LATER MISS A F.G. KEEPING THE CHIEFS SCORELESS IN THE GAME.  INSIDE HANDOFF TO DEXTER MCCLUSTER TRYING TO ATONE FOR HIS FUMBLE.  HE PICKS UP 23 TO THE 46 AND MATT CASSEL THROWS A NICE LITTLE OUT TO JAMAL CHARLES.  HE GETS THE TD.  CHIEFS ON THE BOARD AT HOME.  THEY WERE DOWN 20-7.  ONTO THE 3RD QUARTER.  BUFFALO’S 9TH POSSESSION OF THE GAME.  FRED JACKSON LOOKING TOUGH.  OUTRUNNING SOME GUYS DOWN THE SIDELINE.  A GAIN OF 24 ALL THE WAY TO THE 35; AND THEN 6 PLAYS LATER FITZPATRICK INTO THE END ZONE.  WHO IS THAT AGAIN?  SCOTT CHANDLER WITH HIS 2ND TD. GRAB.  BUFFALO EXTENDS THEIR LEAD TO 27-7.  IF FITZPATRICK WAS NOT DONE.  INTO STEVIE JOHNSON.  TRIES TO MAKE A SPIN BUT HE IS BROUGHT DOWN AT THE 7.  AND YOU KNOW FITZPATRICK.  HE WOULD FINISH OFF THE DRIVE ONCE AGAIN.  THIS ONE FROM 4 YDS. OUT.  FITZPATRICK LOOKING OVER THE MIDDLE, IN TRAFFIC.  DONALD JONES WITH THE GRAB.  OH YEA.  THAT’S LOOKING GOOD FOR BUFFALO.  UP 34-7.  4TH QUARTER, THINGS DID NOT GET MUCH BETTER FOR K.C.  MATT CASSEL’S PASS INTENDED FOR KERRY COLBERT.  PICKED OFF BY __ FLORENCE.  HE IS BROUGHT DOWN.  FINALLY PUSHED OUT OF BOUNDS AT THE 28 YD. LINE AFTER A RETURN OF 30, ICING THE GAME FOR THE BILLS.  AND THEY WERE JUST RUNNING OUT THE CLOCK.  C.J. STEWART GETTING IN ON THE ACTION.  WHY NOT?  A TD. RUN FROM 9 YDS. OUT AND THE BILLS WILL GO ON FOR THE WIN.

 

01:28:55 – PHILADELPHIA EAGLES @ ST. LOUIS RAMS

 

RAMS HOSTING THE EAGLES.  THESE TEAMS ARE DEAD EVEN ON .. 17-17-1.  SAM BRADFORD, LAST YEAR’S OFF. ROOKIE OF THE YEAR.  DOESN’T HAVE TO DO MUCH WORK AS STEVEN JACKSON TAKES HIS FIRST CARRY OF THE SEASON ALL THE WAY TO THE HOUSE FOR A 47 YD. TD. PUTTING THE RAMS UP 7-NOTHING.  FIRST POSSESSION, FIRST PLAY OF THE DRIVE.  NOT A BAD START BUT JACKSON COMES UP LAME.  HE WINDS UP ON THE BIKE.  HE WOULD ONLY HAVE 1 MORE CARRY THE ENTIRE GAME BECAUSE OF A PULLED QUAD.  MICHAEL VICK GOING TO WORK LOOKING DEEP EARLY ON.  IN TRAFFIC, GUESS WHO’S THERE?  DESEAN JACKSON WITH THE GRAB FROM 41 YDS. AWAY.  NICE PICKUP AND A 1ST DOWN FOR JACKSON.  HE IS LOVING IT.  VICK, ROLLING TO HIS LEFT THROWING BACK ACROSS HIS BODY.  HE FINDS JASON AVANT FOR A 20 YD. PICKUP.  NICE START TO THE DRIVE FOR MICHAEL VICK AND THE EAGLES; PLUS, ADD ON A PERSONAL FOUL.  SO THAT’S HALF THE DISTANCE TO THE GOAL, AND VICK ON A 3RD & GOAL DUMPS IT OUT FOR LESEAN MCCOY.  HE GOES INTO THE END ZONE.  A 7 YD. TD. CATCH.  EAGLES TIE THE GAME UP AT 7, AND MCCOY IS DOING A LITTLE DANCE.  ON THE ENSUING RAMS POSSESSION SAM BRADFORD LOSES THE BALL.  JAQUA PARKER PICKS IT UP AND HE STIFF-ARMS HIS OWN MAN!  BUT THERE IS NOBODY IN SIGHT.  THE EAGLES ARE GOING TO END UP WITH AN EASY DEF. TD. GOING UP 14-7.  JAQUA GOES ALL THE WAY FOR THE SCORE.  EAGLES GOING UP.  ROUGH GAME FOR ST. LOUIS.  MICHAEL VICK JUST PICKING ON THEM ALL GAME LONG.  DESEAN JACKSON.  HOW IS HE THAT WIDE OPEN?  GOTTA GET A BODY ON HIM.  TAKES IT ALL THE WAY DOWN TO THE 9 YD. LINE.  2 PLAYS LATER VICK ROLLING TO HIS LEFT.  UNDER PRESSURE FINDS DESEAN JACKSON.  ONCE AGAIN, D. JACK WITH 7 CATCHES.  6 CATCHES FOR 102 YDS. AND A TD.  EAGLES GO UP 24-10.  MICHAEL VICK STRUMMING A SONG AFTER THAT SCORE.  SAM BRADFORD WITH A ROUGH GAME, LOOKING DEEP FOR BRANDON GIBSON BUT, NMANDI OSIMUA, THEIR BIG FREE AGENT SIGNING.  HE WAS FLAGGED FOR PASS INTERFERENCE.  SO THAT SETS UP A 1ST & GOAL AT THE EAGLES 1.  3 PLAYS LATER BRADFORD LOOKING END ZONE AND HE OVERTHROWS DANNY AMENDOLA.  SO THE RAMS HAD TO SETTLE FOR A F.G.  THAT MADE IT 24-13.  ONTO THE 4TH EAGLES POSSESSION, AND GOING RIGHT UP THE MIDDLE, LESEAN MCCOY MAKES A CUT.  HE IS INTO THE END ZONE.  A BIG GAME FOR LESEAN.  122 YDS. ON THE GROUND.  15 YDS. IN THE AIR AND 2 BIG TDS. FOR HIS FANTASY OWNERS.  PUTS THE EAGLES UP 31-13.  BRADFORD TRYING TO HIT HIS MAN GREG SALIS.  BUT IT IS UNDERTHROWN.  INCOMPLETE.  AND IT LOOKS LIKE HE GOT HIT ON THE PLAY BY JAQUA PARKER WHO WAS ALL OVER BRADFORD IN THE GAME.  HE WOULD LEAVE FOR X-RAYS ON HIS FINGER.  EAGLES WOULD GO ON TO GET THE VICTORY.  31-13 IN ST. LOUIS.

 

01:32:03 – DETROIT LIONS @ TAMPA BAY BUCCANEERS

 

TAMPA BAY AND DETROIT IMPROVED IN 2010.  THERE’S JOSH FREEMAN, FORMER 1ST ROUND PICK.  ANOTHER 1ST ROUND PICK FOR STAFFORD.  THIS IS THE GUY THAT I WANTED TO SEE TODAY.  DID YOU WANT TO SEE THAT?  WELL, THOSE THINGS HAPPEN.  I WANTED TO SEE WHETHER MATTHEW STAFFORD WOULD  …I KNOW WHAT I SAW IN THE PRESEASON.  WHAT YOU’RE GONNA SEE AT THE END OF THIS HIGHLIGHT REEL.  YOU’RE GONNA SEE THE STATS FROM MATT STAFFORD AND YOU’RE GONNA LIKE THAT.  YEA, YOU’RE RIGHT.  THESE MOMENTS ARE GONNA HAPPEN.  IT WASN’T TOO BAD OF A PASS.  KEEPS THE LEAD.  THOSE THINGS HAPPEN.  2ND QUARTER, A COUPLE OF LIONS POSSESSIONS LATER AFTER JOSH FREEMAN INTERCEPTION.  STAFFORD TO CALVIN JOHNSON.  THAT’S A LASER.  WHAT’D I SAY ABOUT THIS THIS YEAR?  I MEAN THIS IS A DETROIT TEAM THAT’S NOT GONNA RUN THE FOOTBALL EXCEPTIONALLY WELL THIS YEAR.  THEY RAN IT FOR 126 TODAY BUT MOST SUNDAYS THEY’RE GONNA STRUGGLE TO RUN IT AND THEY’RE GONNA HAVE TO RELY ON THIS.  AND MATTHEW STAFFORD LOOKING DOWN THE MIDDLE, COMING BACK TO THE RIGHT SIDE TO A WIDE OPEN CALVIN JOHNSON.  6’5, 220.  BUT LOOK WHERE THE BALL WAS PLACED.  OH, RIGHT OVER THE TOP.  NOW I’M GONNA TRY AND KEEP MY COMPOSURE ON THIS PLAY.  BETTER THAN I DID WHEN I SAW IT LIVE.  O.K. TOM?  TONY SHEPPARD TD.  STAFFORD..  THERE’S NO CHANCE WE’RE GONNA GET THROUGH THIS.  NOT A CHANCE.  NOT A CHANCE YOU’LL GET THROUGH THIS.  TONY SCHEFFLER.  HE’S HAPPY.  WATCH THIS.  3 MUSKETEERS IS COMING OUT.  OH, I’M GONNA HURT MYSELF LAUGHING!  IT WAS BETTER THE 2ND TIME AROUND TOM.  OH, NATE BURLESON, 10 YD. GAIN.  1ST & GOAL AT THE 1.  WHO TOLD TONY THAT THAT WAS A GOOD TD. CELEBRATION?!  I HOPE WE SEE THAT A FEW MORE TIMES TODAY.  LOOK AT THAT.  CALVIN JOHNSON.  THAT’S NOT FAIR.  IT REALLY ISN’T.  IT ISN’T, YOU’RE RIGHT.  AGAIN, 6’5 AND …THAT’S CRAZY.  LIONS…YOU DON’T WANT TO SEE THIS.  HOBBLE OFF.  IS HE HURT AGAIN?  HE COMES BACK.  JUST CRAMPING UP.  HE’S FINE.  JOSH FREEMAN DOESN’T KNOW QUITE WHERE TO GO WITH IT, AND RUNS FOR 2 YDS.  AND HE WILL BE SLOW TO GET UP AS WE TAKE ANOTHER LOOK.  DRIVEN INTO THE GROUND HARD BY WILL YOUNG.  WOW, THIS FRONT 4… ACTUALLY FRONT 7 OF THE DETROIT LIONS .. A LOT OF QBS THIS YEAR.  THEY KNOW HOW TO GET ..  SO FREEMAN RUNNING INTO THE L.R.  JOSH JOHNSON WILL TAKE OVER AS QB.  4TH QUARTER SAME SCORE.  FREEMAN BACK IN MAKING PEOPLE MISS.  THAT’S A BIG MAN WITH A FOOTBALL THERE.  15 YD. GAIN.  THAT IS A BIG BIG MAN WITH THE FOOTBALL.  DON’T GET TO SAY THAT OFTEN ABOUT A QB.  1ST & 10 AT THE DETROIT 36.  RAHEEM MORRIS SAYS, “KEEP IT GOING GUYS.”  7 PLAYS LATER, 4TH & 3.  FREEMAN TO MIKE WILLIAMS.  THEY’VE GOT SOME PLAYMAKERS.  THEY DON’T HAVE ENOUGH IF YOU ASK ME.  T.B. BUCS WITH A GREAT OPPORTUNITY, ADDING SOME PIECES TO THIS OFFENSE.  MIKE MEEHAN CERTAINLY A NICE PIECE.  LOOK AT THAT CATCH.  FANTASTIC.  BEAUTIFUL.  BUT THEY COULD’VE ADDED SOME MORE PIECES TO GIVE THAT YOUNG QB SOME HELP.  THE BUCCANEERS WENT FOR THE ONSIDE KICK AND FAILED TO RECOVER SO THE LIONS ENSUING POSSESSION.  3RD DOWN & 6.  JEROME HARRISON STOPPED FOR A 2 YD. LOSS.  A FLAG ON THE PLAY; AND AFTER THE PLAY GOSNER __ HITS GINO HAYES IN THE BACK.  CAN’T DO THAT.  LITTLE SHOVE TO THE BACK.  RESULTS IN A 15 YD. UNNECESSARY ROUGHNESS PENALTY.  STUPID.  AFTER A LIONS .. JOSH FREEMAN ON 3RD DOWN & 3.  THAT’S A LEFT-HANDED FLIP; AND THAT’S A COMPLETION TO ERNEST GRAHAM.  IT LOOKS LIKE IT WAS 6 GOING THE OTHER WAY FOR A SECOND.  1ST & 10 TO THE BUCS 46.  FREEMAN TO ERNEST GRAHAM ONCE AGAIN WITH THE RIGHT HAND.  HE’S GONNA PITCH TO DONALD PENN, AND EVENTUALLY HE GETS BACK TO THE HANDS OF THE QB.  GO AHEAD DONALD.  OFF. LINE, YOU CAN …  LOOK AT THAT.  TIP DRILL.  THIS ISN’T GONNA END WELL.  BOY, SOMEBODY COULD RUN THE BALL.  IT’S THE OTHER WAY GUYS!  THAT’S ALRIGHT.  MAYBE EVENTUALLY .. RECOVERS THE BALL.  THAT’S A REALLY GOOD WIN FOR THE LIONS.  HUGE WIN.  FOR JIM SCHWARTZ’S..NICE OF YOU TO POINT THAT OUT THERE.

 

01:36:10 – MINNESOTA VIKINGS @ SAN DIEGO CHARGERS

 

RICHIE BESACHIO RIGHT THERE GUYS.  THE BRAND NEW SPECIAL TEAMS COORD.  FIRST PLAY.  BROUGHT IN TO CURE THE PROBLEMS AND PERCY HARVIN’S GOT SOMETHING FOR THAT.  THIS WAS THE #1 OFFENSE, #1 DEFENSE IN THE LEAGUE THE CHARGERS HAD LAST YEAR.  THEY FINISHED 9-7 AND OUT OF THE POST-SEASON BECAUSE OF SPECIAL TEAMS GAVE UP 4 KICKS FOR TDS. LAST YEAR, HAD PUNTS BLOCKED EVERYWHERE.  THAT IS A KICK TO THE FAMILY TREASURE CHEST RIGHT THERE.  AND, TO ADD TO THAT KICK, NICK KEADING GOT INJURED ON THAT PLAY, LEAVING THE FIELD.  NOW DONOVAN MCNABB, AND HIS FIRST PASS INTERCEPTED BY SHAWN PHILIPS.  HIS VERY FIRST PASS AS A VIKING.  I DIDN’T PUT UP ANY #’S TODAY.  STRANGE GAME.  IT WAS A VERY WEIRD GAME.  LED TO A S.D. TD.  NOW HERE’S ADRIAN PETERSON UP THE MIDDLE AND BREAKS A TACKLE BY ERIC WEIDLE.  46.  I CAN WATCH FILM OF HIM RUNNING WITH THE FOOTBALL ALL DAY LONG.  IT’S JUST PRETTY TO WATCH.  NEXT PLAY FIRST AND GOAL ON THE S.D. 3 YD. LINE.  MCNABB TO MICHAEL JENKINS, THE FORMER ATLANTA FALCON.  NICE JOB BY 5.  AND YOU’RE THINKING RIGHT NOW, JUST HOW DEMORALIZING WAS THAT KICKOFF RETURN FOR A TD. TO START THE SEASON AFTER LAST YEAR?  YEP.  NEXT CHARGERS POSSESSION, PHILIP RIVERS WITH VINCENT JACKSON BACK.  INCOMPLETE.  BARELY, MISSING A WIDE OPEN 83.   I DON’T THINK PHILIP WAS ALL THAT SHARP TODAY.  NO I AGREE.  I AGREE.  GREAT QB BUT I DIDN’T THINK HE WAS ALL THAT SHARP.  NICK KEADING’S INJURED.  SO THEIR FIRST TO GO FOR IT ON 4TH & 20.  THROWS IT UP FOR GRABS.  INCOMPLETE.  VIKINGS LED 17-7 ..  JUST HAVING A LITTLE CONVERSATION WITH COACH NORV TURNER.  JUST A LITTLE ONE.  YOU KNOW IF JAY CUTLER DID THAT EVERYONE IN THE ENTIRE NFL.. NO, THEY DON’T LIKE PHILIP RIVERS EITHER.  NO.  REMEMBER, THEY DON’T LIKE HIM THAT MUCH.  IT WILL ALL TURN OUT O.K.  ..BY MIKE TOLBERT.  7 YD. TD.  THE CHARGERS ..  I GOT HIM ON ONE OF MY FANTASY TEAMS TOO.  YOU’RE INSUFFERABLE.  IF THIS IS GONNA LAST ALL YEAR LONG WITH YOU AND ALL YOUR FANTASY CLUBS.  ONLY ABOUT 3 OR 4 MTHS. LEFT TONY.  YOU’RE ALMOST THERE.  17-17 TIE UNTIL PHILIP RIVERS TD. PASS, 7 PT. CHARGER LEAD.  DONOVAN MCNABB TRYING TO MAKE SOMETHING HAPPEN.  DOWN HE GOES.  YEA, THEY WERE ALL OVER HIM.  THEY HAD TO WIN THIS GAME.  FIRST OF ALL, THAT KICKOFF RETURN FOR A TD. WOULD’VE SET THE WRONG TONE FOR THE WHOLE SEASON HAD THEY LOST; AND THIS IS A TEAM THAT HAS STRUGGLED OUT OF THE GATES.  THEY NEEDED TO GET A VICTORY TO START.  LOOK AT THE NUMBERS OF MCNABB.  7-15.

GAIN.  THAT MADE THE DIFFERENCE RIGHT THERE.  WHEN PLEX GOT IN THIS GAME AND PLEX GOT FIRED-UP, IT GAVE MARK SANCHEZ CONFIDENCE THAT I GOT ROOM FOR ERROR WITH THIS BIG GUY.  BUT THIS TIME HE’S PICKED OFF BY SHAWN LEE.  ..R.B. SKILLS.  LOOK AT HIM.  IF SANCHEZ CAN SHOW YOU THAT HE’S TAKING ANOTHER STEP TO HIS COMMITMENT TO EXCELLENCE.  THEN ON PLAYS LIKE THIS HE SHOW YOU THAT I’M STILL MARK SANCHEZ.  THE PLAY WAS REVIEWED AND LEE DID STEP OUT OF BOUNDS.  REMEMBER, HE HAD 2 PICK ON PEYTON MANNING A YEAR AGO.  SO THE BALL GOES DOWN TO THE 1.  AND…BUT..LEE HAVING A PHENOMENAL OPENING NIGHT.  4TH QUARTER NOW.  FELIX JONES GETS IN.  COWBOYS ON TOP.  23-10.  ROLLING.  LOOKED LIKE THEY WERE TAKING CONTROL OF THIS FOOTBALL GAME RIGHT NOW.  SO HERE COME THE JETS, DOWN 24-10 TRYING TO MAKE SOMETHING HAPPEN.  HOLMES.  GREAT BLITZ READ.  GREAT BLITZ READ.  WAY TO PICK IT UP.  GREAT ROUTE BY HOLMES.  GREAT TIMING BY SANCHEZ.  CONFUSION IN THE SECONDARY RIGHT NOW.  DALLAS IS COMING UP MEN SHORT.  YOU SEE MIKE JENKINS DOWN.  HE WAS BLOCKED BY PLAXICO BURRESS WHO CAME BACK TO GET HIM.  SANCHEZ FINDS BURRESS WITH THAT FADE FOR A TD.  BEAUTIFUL.  JETS DOWN 7.  YOU GOTTA THROW IT UP THERE.  GIVE HIM A CHANCE.  HE’S A 6-5 RECEIVER.  HE’S GONNA GO UP AND MAKE A PLAY.  WE’VE SEEN HIM DO IT IN THE S.B.  THAT’S WHY THE JETS WENT OUT TO GET HIM; AND ROB RYAN’S DEFENSE BEING CHALLENGED HERE.  TONY ROMO AND THE OFFENSE TRYING TO ANSWER.  IT’S ROMO TO WITTEN.  64 YDS. DOWN TO THE 3 YD. LINE!  THAT’S A BIG TACKLE RIGHT THERE.  THAT’S A HUGE PLAY.  HUGE.  BY LEONARD PUSHING HIM OUT OF BOUNDS.  BUT HERE IS WHERE THE COWBOYS START TO UNRAVEL.  TONY ROMO CAN’T FIND ANYBODY.  DECIDES TO RUN IT UP THE MIDDLE.  HE IS POPPED, AND THAT BALL COMES OUT.  BEFORE ROMO’S KNEE GETS DOWN AND THE JETS RECOVER.  IT’S CLOSE BUT THE BALL’S OUT.  SEE WHAT YOU WON’T SEE IN THE STAT LINE…IS ROMO WANTED TO GO WHERE DERRELL REVIS DID.  WITH .. BUT HE WAS COVERED.  SO SANCHEZ TRYING TO BRING GANG GREEN BACK.  HE FINDS KELLER FOR A 19 YD. GAIN ON A 3RD & 10; AND ON THE VERY NEXT PLAY IT’S REX RYAN’S DEFENSE SHOWING UP.  SANCHEZ IS FLUSHED.  DANNY MCCRAE HITS HIM.  HE DROPS THE ROCK AND SHAWN LEE IS THERE FOR THE RECOVERY.  LEE HAD A HUGE GAME.  SMART PLAY BY MCCRAE.  STRIPING THE BALL.  JUST A SPECIAL TEAMS GUY GETTING IN MAKING A DIFFERENCE, MAKING A BID TO BE AROUND FOR AWHILE.  YEA, PRIME, YOU MENTIONED THE DIFFERENCE DERRELL REVIS MAKES.  THIS IS A 3RD & 22.  ROMO WANTS DEZ BRYANT, AND REVIS IS THERE ON THE COVERAGE.  YOU JUST CAN’T SHAKE THIS GUY.  THIS GUY IS PHYSICAL.  HE’S TENACIOUS.  HE HAS THAT ATTITUDE.  HE HAS THAT SPARK AT ONE OF THE BEST IN THE GAME, AND HE IS JUST THAT.  HOW ABOUT JOE MCKNIGHT?!  HE BLOCKS MATT MCBRIDE’S PUNT.  ISAIAH TRUFANT IS THERE FOR THE TOUCHDOWN.  GREAT DESIGN ON THIS PUNT BLOCK BY THE JETS.  REX RYAN, AGAIN, PULLS A RABBIT OUT OF HIS HAT, MAN, AND DID A GREAT JOB.  24-ALL, 3RD & 1, DASHARD CHOICE.  CAN’T GET THE 1ST DOWN.  SO THE COWBOYS FORCED TO PUNT AGAIN; AND THE JETS NOW IN BUSINESS.  3RD & 8 ON THEIR OWN 22.  1:55 LEFT.  SANCHEZ DUMPS IT OFF TO TOMLINSON.  L.T.  DONE THIS BEFORE.  GREAT PLAY BY L.T.  FIGHTS IT OFF FOR A 1ST DOWN.  MOVE THE CHAINS.  3 PLAYS LATER, 3RD & 10.  AND SANCHEZ IS GOING TO BE DROPPED BY ANTHONY SPENCER WHO ADMITTED EARLIER THIS WEEK, HE TOOK TIME, TOOK PLAYS OFF DURING LAST YEAR, AND THAT HE NEEDED TO CHALLENGE HIMSELF TO STAY IN BALL GAMES THE ENTIRE TIME.  ALRIGHT, 59 SECS. LEFT.  A TIMEOUT.  JETS FORCED PUNT. SO HERE WE GO, 1ST & 10.  IT’S ROMO ROLLING.  PICKED OFF.  THREW IT RIGHT TO REVIS.  ALL THE PEOPLE TO GO TO ON THE FOOTBALL FIELD.  YOU GO AT REVIS.  A PANIC MOVE BY TONY ROMO RIGHT THERE.  THERE WAS NOTHING THERE.  ONCE YOU GET ROLLING OR NOT, YOU THROW THAT BALL AWAY AND JUST LIVE TO PLAY ANOTHER DAY.  BAD THROW.  SO HERE COMES SANCHEZ.  ALMOST PICKED OFF BY ALAN MALL.  KIND OF THE DAY FOR THE DALLAS COWBOYS.  JUST, THEY WERE THERE TO MAKE THE PLAY BUT DON’T MAKE THE PLAY.  SO ON THE VERY NEXT PLAY ON A 3RD & 8, SANCHEZ INCOMPLETE LOOKING FOR BURRESS.  SO, IRONICALLY ENOUGH, HERE COMES NICK FOLK.  FORMER COWBOYS KICKER WITH 32 SECS.
