LINEMEN TO GET TO THE LINE OF SCRIMMAGE; AND THEN DO WHAT YOU DO WELL, AND THAT’S WHAT HAPPENED TONIGHT.  14-3 AT THE HALF, AND THEN THE 2^ND HALF, DIFFERENT HALF, SAME OLD STORY.  VERNON DAVIS COMING BACK FROM INJURY.  KAEPERNICK FINDS VERNON DAVIS IN THE END ZONE.  21-3.  THE 49ERS GO UP AND WIN IT BY THE FINAL OF 35-11.  SO COLIN KAEPERNICK GETS HIS FIRST EVER CAREER WIN ON THE ROAD IN THE NFC WEST.  HE LOST HERE LAST YEAR.  HE LOST IN SEATTLE TWICE SINE THEN.  SO THIS IS HIS FIRST ROAD WIN INSIDE THE DIVISION AS A PROF. STARTING QB; AND THAT IS A BIG “W” AS THE NINERS IMPROVE TO 2-2, AND NAVARRO BOWMAN GOT IT DONE DEFENSIVELY WITHOUT PATRICK WILLIS AND WITHOUT ALDON SMITH TONIGHT.

 

01:35:29 – ARIZONA CARDINALS @ TAMPA BAY BUCCANEERS

 

ARIZONA-TAMPA BAY, AND THE FIRST FACE WE’RE GONNA SEE, JOSH FREEMAN.  HOW ABOUT THAT?  BENCHED EARLIER IN THE WEEK, THE ROOKIE MIKE LENNON GETTING HIS FIRST START, AND THERE’S HIS FIRST TD. TOSS.  NOT BAD.  THEY GET THE BALL BECAUSE OF A TURNOVER, AND THAT’S HOW HE GETS HIS FIRST TD.  TAKES IT HOME WITH HIM.  I’M GONNA KEEP THAT BALL.  3^RD QUARTER NOW.  BALL ON THE BUCS 33 YD. LINE.  CARSON PALMER UNDER SOME PRESSURE.  PICKED OFF BY DERRELLE REVIS!  IT’S THE BAILOUT BALL.  I REALLY DON’T LIKE THAT.  YOU KNOW THE GUY JUST CHUCK AND DUCK. THAT NEVER CAN END WELL.  NORMALLY DOES NOT.  REVIS HAVING A BIG DAY MAN, SHOWING YOU HE’S STILL GOT IT.  NICE JOB BY DERRELLE REVIS.  FIRST CAREER INT. WITH HIS NEW TEAM.  4^TH QUARTER BUCCANEERS LEADING 10-3.  GLENNAN, THERE’S A PRETTY GOOD CORNER ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE FIELD TOO AND THAT’S PATRICK PETERSON.  THAT IS CORRECT.  CARDS TAKE OVER WITH EXCELLENT FIELD POSITION THERE NO THE 13 YD. LINE.  AND YOU HAVE TO ASK YOURSELF THE QUESTION, THIS OFFENSE REALLY KIND OF LOOKS THE SAME.  BUT T.B.’S DEFENSE HAS PLAYED WELL ALL SEASON LONG AND THAT’S JUST TOO MUCH PRESSURE TO PUT ON A TEAM.  YOU’RE TALKING ONLY 3 PTS. WITH 3 MINS. LEFT IN THE 4^TH QUARTER.  JUST A TREMENDOUS AMOUNT OF PRESSURE THEY’RE PUTTING ON THEIR DEFENSE.  THAT WAS PAUL FITZGERALD.  THIS IS GLENNAN BEING SACKED BY DANTE …  ALMOST A SAFETY BUT AS IT IS JUST A 9 YD. LOSS.  BUCS FORCED TO PUNT.  ARIZONA NEXT POSSESSION.  1^ST & 10 FROM THE T.B. 38.  PALMER WITH TIME.  JERON BROWN, EXCELLENT CATCH.  NICE.  WOW.  THAT SHOULD BE 50 ON TOP OF THAT.  THAT’S ONE OF THOSE KIND OF … WOW.  WOW.  ADDS ANOTHER 10 YDS. TO THE PLAY.  SETS UP THE CARDS FOR AN EASY F.G.  HE MIGHT BE SITTING DOWN NEXT WEEK.  I THINK THE LEAGUE’S ABOUT HAD ENOUGH OF THOSE.  THERE IT IS AND THAT’S HOW THE CARDS GO ON TOP 13-10.  27 YD. F.G. FROM JAY FEELEY.  NEXT T.B. POSSESSION.  4^TH PLAY OF THIS DRIVE.  GLENNAN AGAIN PICKED OFF BY PATRICK PETERSON.  JUST NOT GOOD.  PATRICK PETERSON 2 INTERCEPTIONS IN THAT QUARTER.  BIG SMILE ON THE SIDELINE.  MIKE GLENNAN HAD 2 PICKS IN THE 4^TH QUARTER.  WHAT STARTED OUT WELL ENDED POORLY AND IT’S 13-10 CARDS.  THAT’S HOW THEY MOVE TO 2-2.  THE BUCS STILL LOOKING FOR THAT FIRST WIN.  AND LOOK AT THAT STAT LINE.  THAT STAT LINE LOOKS JUST LIKE IT LOOKED THE WEEK BEFORE OR THE LAST FEW WKS.  TO ME IT’S A CONSISTENT THEME.  THE QB POSITION.  I DON’T KNOW WHETHER YOU WANT TO SAY THEY’RE NOT PLAYING WELL OR THE X’S AND O’S AREN’T GOOD BECAUSE THEY PUT ANOTHER GUY IN AND HE’S A YOUNG PLAYER; AND HE SHOWED YOU SOME SIGNS AND, AGAIN, THAT LOOKED JUST LIKE FREEMAN WAS DOING.

 

01:38:25 – WASHINGTON REDSKINS @ OAKLAND RAIDERS

 

THE REDSKINS 0-3, AND OUT ON THE WEST COAST AGAINST THE OAKLAND RAIDERS WHO ARE NOT STARTING THAT MAN, TERRELL PRYOR, BECAUSE …  BUT RATHER MATT FLYNN FOR JUST THE 3^RD TIME IN HIS CAREER.  SO HERE WE GO.  DUST OFF MATT FLYNN WHO FINDS MICHAEL RIVERA 18 YDS.

TD.  3^RD QUARTER.  R.G. III.  REMEMBER PIERRE GARCON CAME OUT TWICE THIS WEEK AND SAID, “HE JUST AIN’T RIGHT.”  HITS LEONARD HANKERSON.  GETS IT INSIDE THE 15.  NEXT PLAY GRIFFON TO ALFRED MORRIS.  …KEEP GETTING THAT PUSH!  CLOSE TO THE STICKS.  MOORE 16 CARRIES FOR 71 YDS.  HOWEVER HE WOULD WALK OFF THE FIELD A LITTLE GINGERLY.  3 PLAYS LATER GRIFFON TO GARCON.  YOU KNOW WHAT?  KEEP TALKING THAT SMACK.  YOUR QB’S NOT GONNA THROW YOU THE BALL.  HE BETTER IF HE WANT TO WIN.  REDSKINS TAKE A 17-14 LEAD.  GARCON 6 CATCHES FOR 59 YDS.  AS YOU CAN SEE, MORRIS WAS DONE.  SO YOU KNOW WHO’S COMING IN THE GAME?  HELU.  I’M FROM NEBRASKA.  FAKE IT TO HIM.  GET OUT OF THERE R.G.  ESCAPES.  NICE PLAY.  YEA, THAT IS NICE.  OH!  THE LEAP!  OVER ROSS.  HE’S A BIG MAN.  NEXT PLAY IT’S HELU.  FROM NEBRASKA.  HE GETS IN.  THE REDSKINS GET THEIR FIRST “W” OF THE YEAR, 24-14.

I’M GONNA COME OVER AND SMACK YOU ON THE FOREHEAD.  RIGHT.  SOMEWHERE.  ALRIGHT, GOOD.  SOMEWHERE!  COWBOYS UP 21-13.  3^RD QUARTER PHILIP RIVERS.  ALREADY 1 TD. TOSS TO DANNY WOODHEAD.  OH THEY LOVE THOSE R.B.’S IN S.D. L.T.  PHILIP LOVES HIS RB’S IN S.D.  2 TDS. FOR DANNY WOODHEAD.  … WHERE ARE YOU?!  4^TH QUARTER COWBOYS DOWN 23-21.  ROMO TO HIS B.F.F. JASON WITTEN BUT IT’S INCOMPLETE.  BOY, THAT WASN’T…BETWEEN THE 8-2.  AND THAT WAS A PUSH-OFF BUT THEY DIDN’T SEE THAT.  ALRIGHT.  SO NEXT DRIVE FOR THE CHARGERS.  RIVERS TO OLD MAN ANTONIO GATES!  HE’S STILL GOT IT!  LOOKS VERY FAMILIAR, THIS GUY.  ANTONIO GATES BACK IN THE END ZONE.  HE’S HEALTHY.  THAT’S 200^TH CAREER TD.

AGO.  ALRIGHT.  NEXT COWBOYS POSSESSION, ROMO LOOKING FOR TERRANCE WILLIAMS.  HIT BY ERIC WEDELL AND OH NO.  HE LOSES IT AND RICHARD MARSHALL RECOVERS FOR THE CHARGERS.  THAT IS A HUGE PLAY AND THE CHARGERS END UP WINNING THIS ONE.  BOTH TEAMS

PENALTY FOR WHAT WAS IT, HELMET-TO-HELMET, HITTING A DEFENSELESS RECEIVER.  THEY BLOCKED THE RUN.  47 YDS. ON THAT TD. RUN BY LAGARRETT BLUNT AND YOU WOULD THINK THAT THE PATRIOTS ARE STARTING TO RUN AWAY WITH IT.  PUT HIM UP 20-10.  MATT RYAN, 3^RD & 5.  PRESSURE.  OH, SO LUCKY RIGHT THERE BOY.  THAT BALL ALMOST CAME OUT.  SO THE PATRIOTS D GETTING IT DONE AS THEY HELD THEM TO A F.G. AND THEN HOW ABOUT THE PRETTY TOUCH PASS TO TOMPKINS AGAIN.  THAT WAS BEAUTIFUL.  AND WE TALK ABOUT IT.  SEE, THESE HERE THE PLAYS THAT THEY WERE NOT MAKING AND NOW THEY ARE STARTING TO MAKE.  THAT’S A TD.  WHAT YOU NEED A …FOR ON THAT?  THAT’S JUST A GREAT CATCH RIGHT THERE.  THAT’S A WONDERFUL GRAB.  EVERY PLAY, EVERY SCORING PLAY IS REVIEWED.  HE GOT THE KNEE DOWN AND THAT’S A TD.  THE MITRAL LOOKING DEEP DOWNFIELD AND IT’S AKEB TOLEB TIED FOR THE LEAGUE LEAD WITH 4 INT’S.  ONE-ON-ONE BUT ONE OF THE BEST IN THE GAME.  OH YEA, O.K.  I SEE.  YEA, WE’RE KNOCKING THEM OUT IS WHAT COACH BOB KRAFT SAID.  WE’VE BEEN KNOCKING THEM OUT.  MATT RYAN LOOKING AND JULIO JONES NAILED IN THE THIGH.  BILL BELICHICK ACTUALLY CHALLENGED THIS PLAY.  THAT HURTS TOO.  THAT HURTS.  IT WAS INDEED CALLED A CATCH.  I’M GONNA TELL YOU RIGHT NOW.  IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN.  NO, NO, NO.  DEION, WE’RE GONNA TALK ABOUT THAT.  HE FUMBLED IT!  AND THEN WITH HIS TEAM DOWN 17, TONY G.

OF THE GAME.  THE ONSIDE KICK AND ARE YOU KIDDING ME?!  THE PATRIOTS MUFF THE ONSIDE KICK.  THE FALCONS RECOVER AND THEY GOT IT AT MIDFIELD.  SO YOU’RE SAYING THERE’S A CHANCE.  THE MITRAL BACK IN THE END ZONE.  INCOMPLETE.  THEY’RE LOOKING FOR THE KID OUT OF STANFORD.  4^TH ROUND PICK.  SO THEY ENDED UP KICKING THE F.G.  SO WE GOT ANOTHER ONSIDE KICK.  AND THIS TIME THE PATRIOTS FALL ON IT.  SO NOW HERE’S WHERE THINGS GET VERY INTERESTING FOR N.E.  VERY.  DO YOU THINK THEY’LL BE ABLE TO GET A 1^ST DOWN?  3^RD & 1.  TIMEOUT.  I THOUGHT THIS WAS A 1^ST DOWN.  WELL THEY GAVE IT ANOTHER LOOK.  THAT BLUNT DIDN’T GET IT.  DID NOT GET IT.  SO NOW WHAT DO YOU DO?  ON 4^TH DOWN?  LOOK AT THIS.  I’M JUST TELLING YOU MAN.  I DON’T KNOW HOW THAT WAS NOT A 1^ST DOWN.  HIS KNEE WAS DOWN.  WATCH WHAT HAPPENS ON 4^TH DOWN.  TOM BRADY FLUBS THE SNAP AND DOES NOT GET ANYWHERE CLOSE TO THE 1^ST DOWN.  SO THAT MEANS THE FALCONS ARE IN BUSINESS DOWN 7 WITH UNDER 2 MINS. TO  GO!  TOM PULLED AWAY FROM THERE TOO EARLY.  YEA, TOM PULLED OUT OF THAT.  AND WATCH THIS PRETTY PITCH AND CATCH.  JULIO JONES STIFLED MUCH OF THE NIGHT.  6 GRABS.  A BUCK 08.  THAT’S THAT DOUBLE-TEAM STILL.  WATCH 7 PUMP IT UP.  SO NOW ON 4^TH & 7, RYAN TO RODDY WHITE AND IT’S KNOCKED AWAY BY AKEB TOLEB!  POOR 88 CAN’T GET OFF THE BALL DOWN THERE.  AND SO PATRIOTS, THEY’RE NOW 4-0.  A VERY IMPRESSIVE WIN DOWN IN ATLANTA.
