Week 5 NFL Game Thread

[ipol]

This isn't a horrible game, like we've seen so many of this year. But it isn't a good one.

lol grounding rules

Thank god for YT. The play is at 14:30 mark:

Flutie played a hell of a game. Pats featured a CB named Steve Israel. Bledsoe gets a PI on a hail mary to Glenn Clos... I mean Terry Glenn. Pete was roaming the sidelines. Wade Philips was coaching Buffalo, and Vinatiery walked in for a 2-pt conversion as Bills couldn't care to defend the last play/PAT. 
 
Good times!

Play actually happens at 725 or so... But man... Look at those shoulder pads they wore then.

 

[Ed Hillel]

The only way they could score lol.

 

[Freddy Linn]

Awful route.

 

[Ed Hillel]

What was Blake doing? Gloating mid-play? Nearly got stripped.

 

[PC Drunken Friar]

Can a football minded person explain to me why that was a bad route by Floyd and not a horrible throw by rivers?

 

[ipol]

Rivers is contemplating going after Floyd.

 

[Mugsy's Jock]

Chargers offensive lineman #60 should be called out for lack of hustle in covering the INT return.

 

[Dollar]

Chargers fans should be embarrassed that they can't get a home crowd in San Diego. I thought for a second the game was being played in Pittsburgh.
 
And WTF is it with the Chargers lineman who was walking and not even trying to pursue the guy who intercepted it?

 

[Ed Hillel]

Chargers fans may be the worst in sports.

 

[ipol]

He should have gotten inside the coverage. He just wandered up into the secondary rather than cutting inside.

 

[Dahabenzapple2]

A Steelers coach looked like he was lecturing him about that but he will probably do that again until it costs him. Really arrogant to do that shit just to look cool.

Going straight across cuts off the defender from the ball.

 

[Dollar]

How did Fluker miss that block?  Gordon should have scored.

 

[PC Drunken Friar]

Thank you. Went back and watched it a couple more times. Rivers was right to be pissed

 

[RIrooter09]

Don't the Steelers have to try Landry Jones at some point?

 

[Dollar]

Don't the Steelers have to try Landry Jones at some point?

Absolutely.  It's amazing that they haven't tried him out yet.  I'd think that they could pick up a few guys off the QB scrap heap (Matt Flynn maybe?) who could outplay Vick as well.

 

[ipol]

Big first down and a nice read by Rivers.

 

[Silverdude2167]

I do also wonder how the guy suspended for PED's is in such good shape after being suspended four games for PED's. ...

 

[Dollar]

I was just about to post that none of Rivers' pre-snap audibles were working (after a couple audibles into runs for no gain), and then all of a sudden they all worked.  Well done by Rivers on that drive.

Almost like he got a decoder ring or some how was able to decode the Steelers Blitzes.

 

[SeoulSoxFan]

Starting to appreciate the NE secondary. 

 

[Couperin47]

suddenly both teams actually decide to resemble NFL franchises in the last quarter ?

 

[semsox]

That was....unexpected

 

[Dollar]

Possibly the worst timeout ever called.  (Maybe that's a little extreme, but it looked like the Chargers were about to totally screw up that play)

 

[Ed Hillel]

Are they not guarding the middle of the field on purpose?

 

[SeoulSoxFan]

Not sure if I hated then liked a player as much as Rivers. 

 

[Ed Hillel]

He would have scored if that wasn't blocked.

 

[Three10toLeft]

Rivers histrionics are cringeworthy.

 

[SeoulSoxFan]

He was so opened. Oh and a pick play!

 

[SeoulSoxFan]

SFTU Steelers fans

 

[Ed Hillel]

A gutty call!

 

[Dollar]

To everyone out there asking "with all these shitty kickers, isn't there a soccer player out there who can do better?", well, there he is.

 

[semsox]

Need some Vereen-esque dump off passes to Bell please

 

[Ed Hillel]

He was so opened. Oh and a pick play!

 
Yup, defender ran straight into the crosser.
 
How does Bell not tear his ACL on every play? He has crazy cutting ability.

 

[shawnrbu]

Why did the clock go from 2:53 to 2:38 after the San Diego kickoff?

 

[Ed Hillel]

I'm tired and was gonna go to bed, but Dilfer's Dime's...

 

[Ed Hillel]

Kinda slow here...

 

[CaptainLaddie]

Why did the clock go from 2:53 to 2:38 after the San Diego kickoff?

I KNOW!!!

 

[SeoulSoxFan]

Doggone dang it

 

[Ed Hillel]

A missed FG here would be hilarious.

 

[Dollar]

There's the old Vick we know and... well, know.

 

[Ed Hillel]

Wow, that penalty is huge. Gives the Steelers an extra play.

 

[54thMA]

Wow, what does Pittsburgh do now; go for it, run one more play

 

[SeoulSoxFan]

I'd kick it

 

[Ed Hillel]

Why are you calling a timeout when they lineup in wildcat?

 

[Van Everyman]

Not an uninteresting conclusion to this one.
