01:10:00:27-ST LOUIS RAMS @ GREEN BAY PACKERS

RAMS AT THE PACKERS.  ARRON RODGERS HAS WON HIS LAST 11 STRAIGHT STARTS.  PACKERS HAVE WON 13 OF 14 AT HOME.  SAM BRADFORD…..1 IN 7 IN HIS LAST 8 STARTS.  SO THEY WOULD GO FOR IT LATE IN THE FIRST QUARTER BUT A 4TH DOWN PLAY AT THE GREEN BAY 41 DENERIO/ALEXANDER LOOKING FOR THE FLAG DID NOT GET IT. RAMS TURN THE BALL OVER ON DOWNS SO THEY WERE DOWN 3 NOTHING AND THIS TIME GREEN BAY HAS THE BALL WITH A 4TH TO 1 RIGHT AROUND MID FIELD THE GIVE IS TO CHANGE STARTS AND HE SLIPS A MAN ALL KIND OF AIR IN FRONT OF HIM AND HE PICKS UP 15 YARDS AND A FIRST DOWN AND THEN RIGHT AFTER THAT THE PLAY ACTION FAKES RODGERS ALL KINDS OF TIME. NOBODY IN FRONT OF HIM THROWS A STRIKE INTO THE ENDZONE TO JAMES JONES WHO NOW HAS A TOUCHDOWN…..IN 3 STRAIGHT GAMES AFTER……10 TO NOTHING.  …….THE RAMS DRIVE.  2ND AND 10 SHANE BRADFOR WOULD SLIP AND HE WOULD BE BROUGHT DOWN IN THE BACKFIELD BY AJ HUFF.  HE LOOKS TO HIS OWN SIDELINE AND HE WILL DO A GESTURE TO HIS OWN PLAYERS. MAYBE THEY TOLD HIM HE COULDN’T GET A SACK IN THE GAME.  WELL HE CERTAINLY DID. HOW ABOUT RODGERS COMING RIGHT BACK WITH THE PUNT FAKE TO JORDY NELSON. HE GETS FREE.  NOBODY IS GOING TO CATCH HIM. JORDY NELSON WITH ANOTHER BIG TIME PLAY. A 93YD SCORE.  HE SEEMS LIKE HE’S BREAKING ONE EVERY SINGLE WEEK.HE JUST SLIPS RIGHT PAST THE SAFETY AFTER THE CORNERBACK BIT ON THE PUNT FAKE AND HE MAKES A NICE MOVE 17 NOTHING GREEN BAY. FOUR TOUCHDOWNS ON THE YEAR FOR JORDY NELSON. THEN NEXT PACKERS DRIVE UP 17 TO NOTHING AARON RODGERS HE’S GOT PEOPLE ALL AROUND HIM STILL ON HIS FEET SCRAMBLING HE WILL FIND RYAN GRANT OUT OF THE BACK FIELD A 15YD PICKUP AND A 1ST DOWN. THAT’S ALMOST UNFAIR. THEN 3RD AND 8 FIVE PLAYS LATER RODGERS WILL PULL IT DOWN HIMSELF. HE ROLLS FOR THE FIRST DOWN. GUY CAN DO IT ALL. TWO PLAYS LATER 2ND AND GOAL RODGERS OUT OF THE GUN. HE WILL SCRAMBLE TO HIS LEFT……..THROWS TO DONALD DRIVER FOR THE TOUCHDOWN SO THE PACKERS GO UP 24 TO NOTHING BEFORE HALFTIME. RODGERS FINISHED THE GAME 310 YDS AND 3 TDS. 3RD QTR NOW, ST LOUIS LOOKING ENDZONE.  THAT BALL IS PICKED OFF IN THE ENDZONE AND TRYING TO BRING IT OUT WAS SAM SHIELDS. HE GOT DRILLED RIGHT AFTER THAT BY BRANDON GIBSON. SECOND INTERCEPTION OF THE YEAR FOR BRADFORD AND HE GETS BROUGHT DOWN ON THE 4TH AND 12. PACKERS HANG ON 24 TO 3 FOR THE EASY WIN.

 

01:12:49:00-BUFFALO BILLS @ NY GIANTS

ONE OF THE EARLY GAMES HERE, THE BUFFALO BILLS-NY GIANTS.  GOOD ONE.  ELI MANNING COMING OFF A BAD LOSS TO THE SEATTLE SEAHAWKS AND RYAN FITZPATRICK AND HIS BILLS COMING OFF A HUGE WIN AGAINST PHILLY.  FIRST QTR, FRED JACKSON TO THE LEFT NOW BACK TO THE RIGHT, HE’S GONNA DRIFT TO THE MIDDLE THEN TURN RIGHT.  HE’S GOT GPS OUT THERE. FIRST TEAM ALL SCOREBOARD TEAM.  EASILY.  HE IS AND YOU KNOW WHAT, THEY SHOULD MAKE HIM THE GENERAL MANAGER.  FROM NOW ON, IT’S MR JACKSON BECAUSE FOR THE 5TH STRAIGHT WEEK, NASTY………ONLY 5?  WEEK 1 YOU DIDN’T GIVE IT TO HIM? I’M SURE……………………………….WE’VE GOT 11 MORE.  WORK IT.  WE’VE GOT 11 MORE.  THAT CAN’T HAPPEN.  THAT PLAY, YOU KNOW WHAT THAT IS? THAT’S AN OPTION ROUTE.  A SIX YARDER OPTION ROUTE WHERE THE RECEIVER SITS DOWN IN THE ZONE.  THAT SHOULD BE A 6-12 GAME.  BUT THEY DO THAT EVERY WEEK.  MANNY ROOSEVELT 60YD CATCH…………………………….BILLS HAVE DONE THAT EVERY SINGLE WEEK.  A COUPLE OF WEEKS. PLAY CLOCK HITTING ZERO BEFORE THE SNAP.  STILL COUNTS. THE SEASON FOR BUFFALO, BILLS LEAD 14-7.  IN THE 2ND QTR, 1ST AND 10, MANNING.  TERRANCE MCGEE WITH A HUGE HIT.  TURN YOUR HEAD TO THE SIDE……………………….YOU LEAD WITH THE CROWN OF YOUR HELMET………………AND I STAND BY THAT.  3RD AND 16 RYAN FITZPATRICK SACKED BY JASON PIERRE PAUL. IN THE NFL CAME INTO THE GAME WITH 18 SACKS ON THE SEASON. 7 ½ SACKS FOR HIM NOW. ELI MANNING TO AKEEN MIX, IN STRIDE, 60 YDS. NOW DO YOU BELIEVE ELI MANNING NOW? OH STOP IT.  ELI TOOK CARE OF THE FOOTBALL PLAY. ZERO INTERCEPTIONS…………….NOW YOURE PROJECTING OVER THERE. TIED AT……HALFTIME. 3RD QTR BRADSHAW…..TOUCHDOWN IN THE GAME FOR THE FIRST TIME IN HIS CAREER.  THE GIANTS LEAD 24-17. NEXT BUFFALO POSSESSION. 2ND AND 4.  HAVENT SEEN A LOT OF THIS FROM RYAN FITZPATRICK.  IT’S A GREAT PLAY BY KURT WEBSTER. THAT IS ABSOLUTELY RIGHT.  IF YOURE GOING TO UNDERTHROW YOU GOTTA THROW BACK SHOULDER…………………….AWFUL WINDY ON THE EAST COAST I BELIEVE TODAY. ELI WITH A GREAT PASS TO MARIO MANNINGHAM. DID HE HANG ON? NO. NO. COUGHLIN CHALLENGES THE INCOMPLETE RULING.  WE TAKE ANOTHER LOOK, MANNINGHAM DOING HIS BEST TO HANG ON BUT TERRANCE MCGEE WHIPPING IT OUT OF HIS HANDS.  GREAT PLAY BY TERRANCE MCGEE.  JUST MAKIN A PLAY. GREAT PLAY.  TERRANCE COULD HAVE ALMOST HAD THE INTERCEPTION ON THAT. GIANTS GET NO POINTS ON THAT DRIVE AS THE BILLS BLOCK THE FIELD GOAL. 3RD QTR, AFTER CONVERTING A 4TH AND 1, IT’S…………THERES THE BACK SHOULDER THROW. I DON’T KNOW WHAT STEVIES DOING, IS HE MAKING MOVIES? EXTRA POINTS…THE GAME 24…….POSSESSION.  THE BACK THROW, FITZPATRICK PICKED OFF BY COREY WEBSTER AGAIN. THE BALL EITHER HAS TO BE BACK SHOULDER OR IT’S GOTTA BE FURTHER DOWN THE FIELD THAN THAT. I STILL  BELIEVE IN RYAN FITZPATRICK.  I DO TOO.  2 REALLY BIG MISTAKES TODAY THOUGH.  LAWRENCE TINES, 23YD FIELD GOAL. GIANTS LEADING 27-24. RYAN FITZPATRICK AND HEAD COACH JAN DAILY GETTING READY ON THE SIDELINE COME FINAL DRIVE. …..POSSESSION, 4TH AND 5.  1:03 LEFT. TICKED BY JASON PIERRE PAUL. 7 ½ SACKS NOW. WOW. THIS IS A HUGE WIN FOR THE GIANTS. ESPICIALLY AFTER THE DISASTER LAST WEEK AGAINST THE SEAHAWKS. BIG WIN. AND YOU LOOK AT THE GAME THAT RYAN FITZPATRICK HAS, TO ME THE PICKS ARE THE PICKS AND THEY HURT THE TEAM. BUT WHAT I LIKE ABOUT THIS BILLS PERFORMANCE IS THAT THIS WAS A CONSISTENT ….IT WASN’T A COME FROM BEHIND, ONE OF THOSE DEALS WHEN YOU GET SOME FREAK PLAYS AND THINGS HAPPEN.  THEY PLAYED THIS GAME, PLAYED THE GIANTS TOUGH, STUCK IT OUT.

 

01:17:08-INDIANAPOLIS COLTS @ CINCINNATI BENGALS

COLTS HAVE WON 7 IN A ROW AGAINST CINCINNATI BUT IT’S A DIFFERENT STORY THIS YEAR WITHOUT PAYTON MANNING.  CURTIS PAYNER HAS 4 TOUCHDOWN PASSES. THIS IS HIS 3RD CAREER START. THROWS ONE RIGHT TO DALLAS CLARK WHO’S ON HIS FEET BUT HE’S GOING TO LOSE THE BALL AND THE BENGALS JUMP ON IT.  AN EXCELLENT BREAK FOR CINCINNATI’S DEFENSE EARLY ON IN THE GAME.  FIGHTING FOR EXTRA YARDS, CLARK HAS THE BALL STRIPPED.  CINCINNATI’S DEFENSE COMES UP WITH THE BIG PLAY AND COULD THEY TAKE ADVANTAGE OF IT? PLAY ACTION FAKE, DALTON ROLLING TO HIS RIGHT, HE WILL LOOK AND FIND JERMAINE GRESHEM A PICKUP OF 13 YARDS TO THE 31.  FIVE PLAYS LATER A 3RD AND 4, DALTON, PLENTY OF TIME. FADES ONE INTO THE ENDZONE.  AJ GREEN GOES UP AND MAKES THE GRAB.  HIS FOURTH TOUCHDOWN CATCH OF THE SEASON.  ROOKIE TO ROOKIE GETTING IT DONE ONCE AGAIN FOR THE BENGALS.  THEY’RE UP 7 TO NOTHING AT HOME. ON TO THE 2ND QTR, THE HANDOFF GOES TO DONALD BROWN.  HE HITS THE SIDELINE, TURNS IT UP AND WALTZES INTO THE ENDZONE.  THE SCORE FROM 18 YDS AWAY FOR THE 3RD YEAR PLAYER FROM UCONN TIES THE GAME AT 7.  TWO POSSESSIONS LATER FOR CINCINNATI, A FIRST AND 20 ON THE SLANT ROUTE, THAT’S JEROME SIMPSON, HE BREAKS FREE FOR THE FIRST DOWN.  CINCY WOULD GO ON FOR A BIG GAME AND THAT WOULD LEAD TO A FIELD GOAL SO CINCINNATI GOES UP 10 TO 7.  NOW PAT MACAFEE’S PUNT TO BRANDON TATE, HE WILL TAKE IT, THE FORMER PATRIOT TAKES IT 33 YARDS TO THE 48, A NICE BIG RETURN.  HE GOT A NICE BLOCK BY SEDRICK PEIRMAN ON THE PLAY TO HELP SPRING HIM FREE, GIVE HIM A NICE GAIN ON THE PUNT RETURN.  TWO PLAYS LATER A 2ND AND 5, DALT…LOOKING DOWNFIELD FOR JEROME SIMPSON AGAIN MAKING THE BIG PLAY, A 32 YD GAIN DOWN TO THE 15. SO 5 PLAYS LATER THEY’RE AT THE ONE ON A 2ND AND GOAL SEDRICK BENSON, BASICALLY UNTOUCHED INTO THE ENDZONE, CINCINNATI AT HOME UP 17-7.  WHO SAW THIS ONE COMING? SO, THE COLTS DOWN 20-10, COULD CURTIS PAYNER BRING EM BACK? 2ND AND 5….ENDZONE AND GUESS WHAT-THAT’S A PASS INTERFERANCE CALLED ON MORGAN TRENT.  THE PASS INTENDED FOR PIERRE GARCON. SETS UP A FIRST AND GOAL AT THE ONE.  THREE PLAYS LATER A 3RD AND GOAL PLAYACTION FAKE BACK IN THE END ZONE, DALLAS CLARK REDEEMING HIMSELF FOR THE FUMBLE WITH THE ONE HANDED TOUCHDOWN GRAB.  A PERFECT TOUCHDOWN CATCH FOR CLARK.  YOU’RE GOING TO SEE THAT ONE ON THE HIGHLIGHT SHOWS ON NFL.COM THROUGHOUT THE WEEK. BENGALS HAVE 20-17 NOW AFTER THAT. SO CINCINNATI THEY WOULD END UP WITH INDIANAPOLIS GETTING THE BALL BACK, ATTEMPTING A FIELD GOAL TO TIE IT AND THAT 52 YARD ATTEMPT BY ADAM VINETARI GETS BLOCKED.  THE BOBBLED THE SNAP SO HE WINDS UP WITH THE LOW KICK AND HE GETS TIPPED AT THE LINE OF SCRIMMAGE AND IT GOES WIDE.  SO CURTIS PAYNER GETS THE BALL BACK AGAIN AND HE WILL HAVE 2 ½ MINUTES TO SEE IF HE CAN SET UP ANOTHER POTENTIAL TYING FIELD GOAL BUT AGAIN ANOTHER MISTAKE, THEY WIND UP WITH CARLOS DUNLAP MAKING THE PLAY. HE WILL TAKE IT ALL THE WAY INTO THE ENDZONE. SO THE COLTS GO FROM POTENTIALLY DRIVING TO TIE THE GAME OR TAKING THE LEAD TO ENDING UP LOSING IT ON THAT PLAY. PIERRE GARCON ENDS UP FUMBLING IT AND CARLOS DUNLAP SCORES THE TOUCHDOWN. CINCINNATI WITH THE WIN.  IT’S NOW 4 AND TWO

  

01:20:43-CAROLINA PANTHERS @ ATLANTA FALCONS

NFC SOUTH MATCHUP. DEION SANDERS HONORED BY THE FALCONS FOR HIS HALL OF FAME INDUCTION BEFORE THE GAME. COULD ATLANTA WIN ONE IN HIS HONOR? HOW BOUT CAM NEWTON? HE HAS ACCOUNTED FOR 12 OF THE 13 TOUCHDOWNS THE PANTHERS HAVE SCORED BUT MATT RYAN AT THE GEORGIA DOME, 21 AND 3 IN HIS CAREER. DOWN 3 NOTHING, THEIR 2ND DRIVE OF THE GAME, HE’LL GO DEEP TO RODDY WHITE BUT THERE IS A PASS INTERFERANCE CALLED ON CHARLES GODFREY, ALL OVER RODDY WHITE, MAKING IT VIRTUALLY IMPOSSIBLE FOR HIM TO MAKE THE GRAB AS HIS ARMS WERE WRAPPED UP SO THAT SETS UP A FIRST AND GOAL AT THE ONE. MICHAEL TURNER WOULD PUNCH IT IN FOR A TOUCHDOWN. FALCONS GO UP 7-3. CAM NEWTON, 2ND QTR ON THE PLAYACTION STEAK, ALL KINDS OF TIME AND HE WILL FIND A WIDE OPEN JEREMY SHOCKEY.  LOOKOUT FROM BEHIND HE GETS THE BALL STRAIGHT BUT IT GOES OUT OF BOUNDS, REMAINS IN POSSESSION OF CAROLINA. A 31 YD GAIN.  JONATHAN STEWART ENDED UP WITH A 1 YD TOUCHDOWN. SO THE PANTHERS GRABBED THE LEAD BACK, 10-7.  ONCE AGAIN, LOOKING ENDZONE, MATT RYAN FOR RODDY WHITE, THAT PASS WAS INCOMPLETE. FLAG ON THE PLAY, ANOTHER PASS INTERFERANCE THAT RODDY WHITE WAS ABLE TO DROP AND THIS TIME, ONCE AGAIN, THEY GET THE TOUCHDOWN AFTER THA PASS INTERFERANCE ON THE PLAY FAKE TO OBI MAHALEY AND HE WINDS UP WITH THE TOUCHDOWN, 14-10, ATLANTA GOES UP. JUST BEFORE HALFTIME, COULD CAROLINA GET ON THE SCOREBOARD? BALL IS TIPPED UP AND INTERCEPTED BY BRENT GRIMES.  HE WILL TAKE IT OUT OF THE ENDZONE, RETURN IT 29 YARDS SO ATLANTA SAVES THEIR LEAD GOING INTO HALFTIME, THEY’RE UP 14-10. ONTO THE 3RD, THE OPENING DRIVE OF THE QUARTER FOR CAROLINA, CAM NEWTON IN TROUBLE, DUCKS OUT OF IT AND HE’S STILL ON HIS FEET. 2ND AND 9 AND HE IS ABLE TO PICK UP 6 ON THE PLAY. IT’S A MIRACLE HE DID NOT END UP TAKING A SACK. THEN SIX PLAYS LATER, CAM ALL KINDS OF TIME IN FRONT OF HIM AND HE WILL GO OVER THE MIDDLE TO JEREMY SHOCKEY. ONCE AGAIN A PICKUP OF 15 YDS SETS UP A FIRST AND TEN AT THE 19.  THREE PLAYS LATER, 3RD AND 5, CAM SEES ALL KINDS OF SPACE IN FRONT OF HIM, HE WILL MAKE ONE MAN MISS AND GO INTO THE ENDZONE THEN HE WILL PAY HOMAGE TO DEION SANDERS WITH THE HIGHSTEP IN THE ENDZONE DOING THE DEION DANCE AS HE GETS OUT OF THE PRESSURE AND SCORES A TOUCHDOWN. BEAUTIFUL PLAY BY CAM NEWTON.  CAROLINA GOES UP 17-14 THAT WOULD BE IT FOR THEM.  MICHAEL TURNER GETTING LOOSE FOR 24 YARDS DOWN THE LEFT SIDELINE AND THAT WOULD SET UP A MATT BRYANT FIELD GOAL SO THAT TIES THE GAME AT 17.  REMEMBER THAT BECAUSE AT ONE POINT CAROLINA WAS UP NOT FOR LONG.  MATT RYAN THROWS TOWARDS THE SIDELINE, HARRY DOUGLAS TURNS UPFIELD, HE WILL TAKE IT 34 YARDS AND THAT WOULD LEAD TO A MATT RYAN RUN YARD TOUCHDOWN RUN 4 PLAYS LATER. FALCONS GO UP 24-17.  CAROLINA WITH 6 MINUTES LEFT, COULD CAM NEWTON MAKE IT HAPPEN? NOT ON THAT PLAY, COREY PETERS WITH THE INTERCEPTION PERFECTLY READ. THAT SCREEN PASS KNEW IT WAS COMING WITH THE ONE HANDED GRAB, PLUCKS IT OUT OF THE AIR.  MAYBE THEY SHOULD HAVE HIM PLAY SOME RECEIVER WITH HANDS LIKE THAT. GREAT PLAY BY COREY PETERS. SETS IT UP AT THE 39 AND THEN 8TH PLAY OF THE DRIVE, MICHAEL TURNER GETS INTO THE ENDZONE. HIS 2ND RUSHING TOUCHDOWN OF THE GAME. HE FINISHED WITH A BUCK 39 IN THE BALLGAME. FALCONS WIN IT 31-17, COMING FROM BEHIND. THEY’RE NOW 3 AND 3.

 

01:24:22-SAN FRANCISCO 49ERS @ DETROIT LIONS

LIONS 5 AND 0 FOR THE FIRST TIME SINCE 1956.  MATT STAFFORD HAS 2 TOUCHDOWN PASSES OR MORE IN 7 STRAIGHT GAMES.  ALEX SMITH CAME INTO THE GAME 3RD IN THE LEAGUE IN PASSER RATING BUT THIS TIME HE GETS THE BALL STRIPPED FROM BEHIND. KYLE VANDENBOSH GOT A GREAT JUMP OFF THE SNAP, PULLS THE BALL RIGHT OUT OF ALEX SMITH’S HANDS. LED TO A JASON HANSON FIELD GOAL AND A 3 NOTHING LEAD FOR THE LIONS. FIRST QUARTER MIDFIELD, MATTHEW STAFFORD………MIDDLE CALVIN JOHNSON REACHES FOR THE FIRST DOWN SO THAT WAS A PICKUP OF 11.  HIS 300TH CAREER CATCH FOR CALVIN JOHNSON. FOUR PLAYS LATER…..ENDZONE BRANDON PETTIGREW IS THERE DID HE COME DOWN WITH IT? ARE THEY GOING TO ALLOW IT? HE CAUGHT THE TOUCHDOWN BUT THE BALL CAME OUT AT THE END OF THE PLAY.  PATRICK WILLIS WITH A HAND INSIDE OF HIS ARMS IN BETWEEN THEM THEY FINALLY KNOCK THE BALL LOOSE BUT NOT AFTER HE MAINTAINED POSSESSION GOING TO THE GROUND SO THE TOUCHDOWN PASS COUNTS. 10 NOTHING. HOW BOUT THE GIVE UP THE MIDDLE TO FRANK GORE ON THE ENSUING POSSESSION? COULD HE BREAK INTO THE ENDZONE? BROUGHT DOWN AT THE ONE YARD LINE. A GAIN OF 47. A HUGE PLAY FOR FRANK GORE. HE WOULD PUNCH IT IN. 49ERS ONLY DOWN 10-7. AND THEN THEY WOULD GET MATTHEW STAFFORD IN THE ENDZONE. WOULD THEY COUNT THAT AS A SAFETY? YOU BET. ALVIN SMITH WITH A NICE PLAY. 49ERS ONLY DOWN 10-9. THEN THEY GIVE IT TO GORE ON A 2ND AND 13. HE BREAKS LOOSE.  THIS TIME TRYING TO HIT THE SIDELINES. HE IS GOING TO BE CAUGHT FROM BEHIND BUT HE PICKS UP 55 YARDS THIS TIME, EVEN MORE THAN THE LAST RUN. LED TO AN AIKERS FIELD GOAL. THEN THE NINERS ARE UP 15-13 LATE 3RD QTR. ALEX SMITH INTENDED FOR MICHAEL CRABTREE. HE IS PICKED OFF BY MAURY SPIEVEY RETURNS IT 30 YDS, NEARLY TO MIDFIELD SO 2 TURNOVERS IN THE GAME FOR ALEX SMITH. FOURTH QTR, LIONS NOW 15-13, MATTHEW STAFFORD ENDZONE, NATE BURLESON HOPPING IN THE BACK OF THE ENDZONE WITH A NICE GRAB. THEY WOULD REVIEW IT BECAUSE IT WAS RULED AN INCOMPLETION SO JIM SCHWARTZ OF COURSE CHALLENGES THE CALL AND THEY WOULD END UP, WHAT WOULD HAPPEN, WELL LET’S LOOK BACK TO WEEK 1 LAST YEAR. CALVIN JOHNSON IN THE ENDZONE-THEY RULED THIS PASS INCOMPLETE BECAUSE HE DID NOT HAVE CONTROL OF THE BALL WHEN HE WENT TO THE GROUND. THAT COST THE LIONS THE GAME. THIS TIME AROUND, WOULD THEY GIVE HIM THE CATCH, DID HE HAVE POSSESSION? DID HE MAINTAIN IT? HE GOT BOTH FEET DOWN. LET’S HEAR THE EXPLANATION. SO THEY RULE IT A TOUCHDOWN, LIONS ATTEMPT A TWO POINTER BUT THEY COULD NOT CONVERT. DETROIT, UP IN THIS ONE, 19-15. LATE 4TH QTR, SAN FRANCISCO GOING FOR THE TOUCHDOWN. THEY GET IT. DELANEY WALKER WITH THE 6 YD GRAB AND THAT WAS ON A 4TH AND GOAL AT THE 6. A HUGE PLAY FOR THE 49ERS BUT WAS HIS KNEE DOWN BEFORE HE CROSSED THE GOAL LINE? NO, HE BROKE IT AHEAD OF TIME AS THE BOOTH REVIEWED THE SCORE, IT COUNTS. NINERS UP 22-19, JUST UNDER 2 MINUTES TO PLAY. MATTHEW STAFFORD ON THE 4TH AND 5. INCOMPLETE FOR NATE BURLESON AND THE NINERS HANG ON FOR THE BIG TIME VICTORY. ON THE ROAD 25 TO 19.

  

01:27:56-PHILADELPHIA EAGLES @ WASHINGTON REDSKINS

 THE BEST TEAM IN THE NFC EAST AGAINST THE WORST TEAM IN THE NFC EAST BUT THE OPPOSITE OF WHAT MOST PEOPLE EXPECTED. WASHINGTON 3 AND 1, PHILLY 1 AND 4. FOURTH AND TWO IN THE 1ST QTR AND THE EAGLES WILL GO FOR IT AROUND MIDFIELD.  THERE IT IS AT THE 38, MICHAEL VICK IS ABLE TO COMPLETE AN 18 YD PASS TO JASON AVANT AND THEN THEY DUMP IT OFF TO BRENT SELEK ON A NICE PLAY ON 3RD AND GOAL.  FOUR PLAYS AFTER THAT SELEK GETS INTO THE ENDZONE FOR THE TOUCHDOWN. PHILLY GOES UP 7 NOTHING ON THE ROAD. REDSKINS ON THE ENSUING POSSESSION A BEAUTIFUL HIT LAID BY NOMNE ASUWAN.  NOT JUST A GOOD COVER CORNER HE JUST ABSOLUTELY DRILLED CHRIS COOLIO THAT 3RD AND 2, NO FIRST DOWN FOR WASHINGTON SO PHILLY WITH THE BIG PLAY ON DEFENSE. SECOND AND 4 AND THEY WOULD HANDOFF TO LASEAN MCCOY WHO BREAKS IT OUTSIDE TAKES IT DOWN INSIDE THE 10, A PICKUP OF 21 DOWN TO THE 8 LED TO A LESEAN MCCOY  1 YD TOUCHDOWN.  PHILLY ON THE ROAD AT 14 TO NOTHING. MICHAEL VICK UNDER SOME PRESSURE THROWS IT OVER THE MIDDLE TO BRENT SELEK WHO TIPS IT TWICE BUT HE DOES HANG ON FOR THE CATCH.  BIG TIME PLAY BY BRENT SELEK TO STICK WITH IT DOWN TO THE 32 AND THAT WOULD LEAD TO A FIELD GOAL SO THEY GO UP 17 NOTHING. THEY WOULD LEAD 20-3 AT THE HALF. VICK WOULD END UP TAKING THE BALL DOWN IN THE 3RD QTR AND RUNNING.  TAKES A BIG HIT FROM LERON LANDRY.  HE IS ON THE GROUND A FAMILIAR FEELING FOR THE EAGLES, THEY HAVE SEEN THIS FAR TOO MANY TIMES.  HE TAKES A SHOT TO THE HEAD, HE IS DOWN ON THE GROUND, HE WOULD END UP SOMEWHAT OK BECAUSE VINCE YOUNG CAME INTO THE GAME FOR 2 PLAYS, VICK WOULD END UP COMING BACK BUT VINCE YOUNG GETS THEM INTO TROUBLE SCRAMBLING TO HIS RIGHT UNDER THROWS HIS RECEIVERS AND GETS PICKED OFF ON THE PLAY. VINCE YOUNG INTERCEPTED BY DEANGELO HALL WHO RETURNS IN TO THE ATEAM, GIVES THE BALL TO HIS MOM ON THE SIDELINES. BUT THE REDSKINS, COULD THEY DO ANYTHING WITH THE TURNOVER? NO, THEY GIVE IT RIGHT BACK. REX GROSSMAN HAVING AN AWFUL DAY WITH THE TURNOVERS FOR WASHINGTON PICKED UP BY KURT COLEMAN, THE 2ND YEAR SAFETY ENDED UP WITH 3 INTERCEPTIONS IN THE GAME.  GROSSMAN ROLLING AGAIN, OPPOSITE DIRECTION, TRIES TO THROW AND GUESS WHAT-SAME RESULT.  KURT COLEMAN WITH THE INTERCEPTION THAT WAS HIS 3RD OF THE GAME. THE FIRST EAGLE WITH A 3 INTERCEPTION GAME SINCE 1966-HE HAS 4 CAREER PICKS, ALL HAVE COME AGAINST WASHINGTON.  SO NATURALLY THE REDSKINS MAKE A CHANGE AT QUARTERBACK. THEY WILL GO TO JOHN BECK AFTER THAT AND HE COMPLETES IT TO DANTE STALLWORTH OVER THE MIDDLE FOR 15 YARDS IN THE FIRST DOWN. THEN 2 PLAYS LATER AT FIRST AND GOAL, QUARTERBACK DROP, JOHN BECK INTO THE ENDZONE. COULD THE REDSKINS MAKE A GAME OF THIS? WELL NOW, ONLY DOWN BY ONE SCORE THEY COULD MAKE SOMETHING HAPPEN BUT THE EAGLES GET THE BALL A 2ND AND 2 FROM 38 THERE IS YOUR FIRST DOWN. THAT PRETTY MUCH ICES THE GAME. FOR PHILADELPHIA THEY GET THE VICTORY 20-13, THEY’RE NOW 2 AND 4.

  

01:31:16-JACKSONVILLE JAGUARS @ PITTSBURGH STEELERS

IN PITTSBURGH, THE STEELERS PLAYING HOST TO THE JAGUARS.  BEN ROTHLISBERGER LOOKS TO BUILD OFF HIS 5 TOUCHDOWN PERFORMANCE LAST WEEK.  SHAR MENDELHALL LOOKS TO HAVE AN IMPACT COMING BACK FROM A HAMSTRING AND THIS IS MENDENHALL TURNING THE CORNER, HAVING AN IMPACT IN THE ENDZONE. 23 CARRIES A BUCK 46 FOR MENDENHALL. STEELERS ON THE DAY WITH 185 RUSHING YARDS. THAT’S STEELER FOOTBALL. 8TH THROW OF THE DRIVE, PLAYACTION, HERE’S YOUR REPRESENT MIKE WALLACE BEHIND THE DEFENSE HIGHLIGHT OF THE DAY.FUMBLE…..A COUPLE OPPORTUNITIES AS WELL, I MEAN…..KEN WAS NOT NECESSARIALY AS SHARP AS HE WAS THE WEEK BEFORE AND THE STEELERS REALLY WEREN’T SHARP BUT MENDENHALL DID A GOOD JOB OF RUNNING AND I DON’T’ WANT TO SAY HE WAS IN THE……BUT CERTAINLY PEOPLE WILL QUESTION WHERE IS THAT SHARP MENDENHALL THAT WE SAW LAST YEAR? HE’S BEEN ALITTLE BANGED UP BUT TODAY THEY RAN THE FOOTBALL EXCEPTIONALLY WELL. SIXTY EIGHT YARD RUN LED TO A FIELD GOAL AND PITTSBURGH LED 17-3 AT HALFTIME.  LITTLE DIFFERENT THE 2ND HALF. THRID QRT HERE, NICK HARRIS PUNTS THE BALL OUT OF BOUNDS AND AS YOU CAN SEE WE’RE GONNA HAVE A FLAG. YOU CAN SEE HE WAS INSULTED.THAT’S A FELONY IN MANY NFL CITIES. FOR 15 YARDS. NOT THE STATE OF TEXAS. AUTOMATIC FIRST, THAT’S RYAN MUNDY RUNNING……….THAT’S NOT A PUNTER, THAT’S NOT IN TEXAS? CAN YOU GET AWAY WITH THAT IN TEXAS? AND MORE. SEVEN PLAYS LATER, 14TH PLAY OF THE DRIVE.  WAYNE GAVERT KEEPS IT HIMSELF. HE CAN DO THIS A LITTLE BIT. FIVE YD GAIN. FIVE PLAYS LATER, GABERT TO JASON ????? YD TOUCHDOWN.  AT THIS PARTICULAR TIME, I’M THINKING THIS CAN’T HAPPEN. YOURE THE PITTSBURGH STEELERS, AT HOME, PLAYING AGAINST A TEAM THAT IS DEAD LAST IN OFFENSE. DON’T RUN AWAY. FOURTH QTR, MAURICE JONES-DREW NO GAIN ON 3RD AND ONE…..GUESS WHO’S IN? THAT’S A GREAT PLAY BUT ON THE DAY THE JAGS RAN IT FOR A BUCK 33 ON 4.4 YDS PER CARRY. IT’S BEEN AN ACHELLIES HEEL ALL SEASON LONG AND IT WAS THE SAME AGAIN TODAY. POLOMALU HURT HIS HEAD ON THAT PLAY, DID NOT RETURN TO THE GAME. NEXT STEELERS POSSESSION 3RD AND TEN, ROTHLISHBERGER SACKED FOR AN 8YD LOSS. THE JAGS HANG AROUND.  GOTTA PROTECT THE FOOTBALL. JAGUARS STEALING IT FORST AND 10 ON THEIR OWN 48. WAYNE GABERT LIKES THE FACT THAT MERCEDES LEWIS IS IN THERE WITH HIM AND WIDE OPEN. LED TO A 45 YD FIELD GOAL AND JACKSONVILLE TRAILED ONLY 17-13. NEXT JAGUARS POSSESSION, 26 SECONDS LEFT. POLOMULA STILL ON THE SIDE. IF YOURE A STEELERS FAN YOURE STILL WONDERING WHAT TEAM YOU HAVE. VERY GOOD WIN LAST WEEK AGAINST TITANS. THIS IS A JAGS TEAM BEING LED BY A ROOKIE QUARTERBACK. 18 SECONDS LEFT, THAT ROOKIE QUARTERBACK WAYNE GABBERT AND MIKE THOMAS 18 YDS, 3 SECONDS LEFT NOW. GABBERT WITH THE HAIL MARY REMEMBER THE JAGUARS PULLED THIS OFF ONE TIME LAST YEAR. NOT GONNA HAPPEN THIS TIME. STEELERS HANG ON FOR A 17-13 WIN. ROTHLISBERGER 12 OUT OF 23, 200 YDS, SOME MISSED OPPORTUNITIES AS YOU SAID JAMIE. AGAIN, THE STEELERS ARE JUST TRYING TO FIND OUT WHO THEY ARE AND I’’ CONTINUE TO SAY THIS AGAIN. WHEN YOU LOOK AT WHAT HAPPENED IN THE LOCKOUT, I BELIEVE THE STEELERS AND THE PHYSICAL FOOTBALL TEAMS HAVE BEEN THE MOST EFFECTIVE BECAUSE THOSE TEAMS THAT STOP THE RUN REAL WELL AND PLAY PHYSICAL FOOTBALL BECAUSE YOU HAVE TO PRACTICE PHYSICALITY. THAT’S HOW YOU GET BETTER. THAT’S WHY THE JETS ARE HAVING THE ISSUES THAT THEYRE HAVING DEFENSE STOPPING THE RUN. SO WHEN I LOOK AT THIS STEELERS TEAM, THEYRE HAVING TROUBLE FINDING WHO THEIR IDENTIY IS OFFENSIVELY. ITS STILL ONE OF THOSE THINGS. 4 AND 2 BUT YET THE OFFENSE IS NOT COOKING THE WAY IT SHOULD BE. DEFENSIVELY THEY ARE NOT VERY GOOD AT THE LINE OF SCRIMMAGE WITH REGARD TO DEFENDING THE RUN. THEY HANDLED 133 YDS ON THE GROUND OF 30 CARRIES. THAT’S 4.4 YDS OF CARRY COMING INTO THE GAME. THEY WERE ALLOWING 4.6 YDS PER K. THAT’S NOT THE STEELERS DEFENSE THAT WE’VE BEEN ACCOSTOMED TO WATCHNG THE LAST SEVERAL YEARS.

 

01:35:49-CLEVELAND BROWNS @ OAKLAND RAIDERS

BIG GAME FOR THE RAIDERS. FIRST HOME GAME SINCE THE PASSING OF AL DAVIS. FLORES, MADDEN, HENDRICKS LIGHTING AN ETERNAL FLAME IN MEMORY OF THE LATE AL DAVIS.FIRST QTR, DARREN MCFADDEN PUTTIN THE HEAD DOWN FINDING THE ENDZONE FROM4  YDS OUT. I DON’T WANT TO GET DOWN ON THE BROWNS BUT THEIR 2 WINS THIS YEAR HAVE COME AGAINST TEAMS THAT WERE COLLECTIVELY 0 AND 9. NEXT RAIDERS POSSESSION, JASON CAMPBELL WANTS TO GO DOWN THE FIELD TO DUMP IT OFF DECIDES TO KEEP IT HIMSELF. FUMBLES AS HE GOES TO THE GROUND, RECOVERED BY MIKE ADAMS. CAMPBELL YOULL SEE DIVING HEAD FIRST IS NOT CONTACTED TILL THE FOOTBALL COMES OUT. THAT’S GOTTA BE A FUMBLE.  ALL DAY. HE WASN’T SLIDING TO GIVE HIMSELF UP. BROWNS GET THE BALL AT THEIR OWN 43. NEXT POSSESSION, PLAYACTION. MCCOY TO ALEX SMITH. BROWNS TIE IT UP AT 7……………….MADDEN CURSE. HASN’T HAD A 100 YD GAME IN A LONG TIME. WELL THIS IS GONNA BE A RETURN OF 101 YDS. JACOBY FORD. THAT GUYS GOTTA EXTRA GEAR. TIGHTROPE. WHAT A GREAT HONOR TO AL DAVIS WHO LOVED SPEED, LOVED KICKOFF RETURNS, LOVED WIDE RECEIVERS WHO COULD FLAT OUT GET IT. LOOK AT THAT TIGHTROPE. AND THAT’S JACOBY FORD. PLAY WOULD BE REVIEWED BUT HE TIPTOES THE SIDELINES AS YOU SEE, 101 YD TOUCHDOWN. JACOBY FORD. RAIDERS UP 14-7. NEXT RAIDERS POSSESSION, JASON CAMPBELL KEEPS IT, 7YD GAIN BUT A MAJOR LOSS. YOU SEE HIM GRAB RIGHT AWAY TO THE COLLERBONE AND JASON CAMPBELL BROKEN COLLERBONE IS OUT FOR THE SEASON. JASON CAMPBELL IS OUT, NOT ONLY FOR THE GAME BUT FOR THE YEAR. CAL BOLLER TRADING THE HAT FOR THE HELMET. 3RD QTR, CLEVELAND TRAILING 17-7. SECOND PLAY OF THIS….MCCOY FUMBLES RECOVERED BY TOMMY KELLY. GREAT JOB RIGHT THERE. NOT OFTEN DO YOU SEE A 4TH AND 20 WAS IT, YES, SHANE LIGHTMAN TO KEVIN BOSS. AND THINK ABOUT IT-EVERYBODY IS SELLING OUT BECAUSE THIS GUY HAS BEEN POUNDED LIKE SEA BASS…….WOW, THAT’S A GUTSY CALL. RAIDER TOUGH GUY. COLT MCCOY JUST WATCHING FROM THE SIDELINE. AND THE GUY TURNED OUT TO BE THE DIFFERENCE. THE OAKLAND RAIDERS BY 7 IMPROVING TO 4 AND 2. THEY HAVE A QUESTION TO ASK THEMSELVES. CAN WE GET TO WHERE WE WANT TO GO WITH KYLE BOLLER? OR DO THEY PUT THE ROOKIE IN TERRELL ???????

  

01:39:00-HOUSTON TEXANS @ BALTIMORE RAVENS

 LATE GAME IN THE AFC. THE TEXANS AND THE RAVENS. JOE FLACCO 2 AND 0 IN HIS CAREER AGAINST HOUSTON. AND DERRICK MASON FACING HIS FORMER TEAM TRADED EARLIER BY THE JETS AFTER PLAYING WITH THE RAVENS. SECOND QTR RAVENS LEADING 7 NOTHING, JOE FLACCO HANGS ONTO IT UNTIL THEN. JAMISON RECOVERS THE FUMBLE. TIM JAMISON FOR THE TEXANS AT THE RAVENS 17. THIS IS A HUGE TEST FOR THE HOUSTON TEXANS WITHOUT THEIR 2 BEST PLAYERS. TRYING TO MAKE SOMETHING HAPPEN ON THE ROAD. BEN TATE ON THE 3RD PLAY OF THE DRIVE, CAN’T DO THAT, BUT LOOK WHAT I FOUND. WADE SMITH RECOVERS IN THE ENDZONE FOR A TEXANS TOUCHDOWN. I DON’T KNOW MY NFL RULES GREAT BUT I THOUGHT THEY CHANGED THAT RULE THAT YOU CAN’T FUMBLE IT INTO THE END ZONE—THE OLD DAVE CASPER RULE. I THINK IT’S  A CERTAIN POINT IN THE GAME, LIKE 5 MINUTES OR SOMETHING ILKE THAT LEFT IN THE GAME. GAME TIED AT 7. 3RD QTR, TEXANS TRAILING 13-7 PLAYACTION FOR SCHAUB.

PERHAPS THE GAME. LATE GAME. COWBOYS PATRIOTS. TONY ROMO. TOM BRADY. COWBOYS FIRST POSSESSION, 3RD AND 3. TONY ROMO TO DES WHITE. GOT THAT LITTLE HAPPY FOOT LOOK TO HIM DIDN’T HE. I CALL IT THE CHUCK AND DUCK. ANY TIME PRESSURE-YOU TALK ABOUT QUARTERBACKS STANDING THERE AND DELIVERING IT-HE DOESN’T DO THAT. HE RESPONDED THOUGH. CAL ERICKSON WITH THE PICK. TOM BRADY NOW GIVES IT BACK TO TERRANCE NEWMAN. TOM BRADY HAS THROWN SOME INTERCEPTIONS NOW THIS YEAR. FOR ALL OF LAST SEASON. WHATS THAT NUMBER? 8 ON THE YEAR PROBABLY? GAME TIED AT 3. DESHARD TROYCE FUMBLES RECOVERED BY GERRARD WARREN AT THE PATRIOTS 21YD LINE. PATS ADDED ANOTHER FIELD GOAL. NEW ENGLAND LED 6-3. 2ND QTR, SAME SCORE. BRADY WES WELKER. RULE DOWN AT THE 1 YD LINE. WELKER WANTS BELICHICK TO CHALLENGE THE PLAY SO THE PATRIOTS DO. HE’S IN. YEAH HE’S IN EASY. WITHOUT QUESTION. I DON’T KNOW HOW THE OFFICAL MISSED THAT CALL. I THINK HE WAS LOOKING AT HIS FEET AS OPPOSED TO THE BALL GOING OVER THE LINE. GOT IT RIGHT EVENTUALLY. IT WAS 13-3. THEN ROMO BACKSIDE TO JASON RITTEN, 1 YD SCORE. AGAIN I WAS EXPECTING A SHOOTOUT IN THIS GAME. I WASN’T EXPECTING A BUNCH OF FIELD GOALS. BUT I GIVE TONY ROMO A LOT OF CREDIT AFTER THAT EARLY INTERCEPTION FOR RESPONDING. 13-10, 3RD QTR. TONY ROMO SACKED BY ANDRE CARTER 11 YD LOSS. COWBOYS DID ADD A DAN BILLY 22 YD FIELD GOAL. GAME TIED AT 13. PATRIOTS NEXT DRIVE. 1ST AND 10, BRADY TO ERIN HERNENDEZ, STRIPPED BY BRADY JAMES RECOVERED BY TERRANCE NEWMAN. AND THAT’S THE THING ABOUT IT, PRIDE DOESN’T COUNT. DON’T EXPECT TO SEE THE PATRIOTS TURNING THE BALL OVER IN BUNCHES. HERES THE GAME WINNER. BRADY STANDING IN AND FIRING TO ERIN HERNANDEZ WITH 22 SECONDS……THREE OF US ASK EACH OTHER THE SAME QUESTION. WHAT ARE THE ODDS THAT TOM BRADY LEADS THEM ON A FIVE MINUTE DRIVE ALL THE WAY DOWN THE FIELD, NOT JUST FOR A FIELD GOAL BUT FOR A TOUCHDOWN. BUT THEY ACTUALLY STOPPED HIM, THEY GOT THE BALL BACK AND THEN THEY TOOK IT DOWN FOR THE TOUCHDOWN. PATRIOTS IMPROVED TO 5 AND 1. THE COWBOYS FALL TO 2 AND 3.

THERE’S A LOT OF ENERGY THAT COMES ON THE FIELD WHEN THESE YOUNG GUYS COME ON AND THEY START PLAYING WITH OTHER YOUNG GUYS LIKE POUNDER HERE.  MICHAEL JENKINS FOR 14 YARDS AND THEN HE DUMPSIT OFF TO LESENT SHENKO. IT’S LIKE AN OFFENSIVE…..IT DOES AND THIS IS AN AUDITION FOR CHRISTIAN POUNDER. FOR THE FUTURE BECAUSE HE’S DRAFTED IN THE 1ST ROUND, 12TH PICK AND THEY WANT TO FIND OUT HOW SOON SHOULD THEY START PLAYING HIM.  VIKINGS THROWING THE BALL OVER ON DOWNSTAIRS SO POUNDER GETTING HIS FIRST ACTION OF THE 2011 SEASON. BEARS BOUNCE BACK BIG TIME AFTER THE LOSS TO THE LIONS. THEY WIN IT 39-10.  JAY CUTLER ONLY SACKED ONCE.  THROWS FOR 267 YDS AND A COUPLE OF TDS
