HOW THE FUCK DID WE LOSE TWO SUPER BOWLS TO ELI FUCKING MANNING? Christ.

Okay, I'm done.
You're not really done, though. That's the sad part.

The thing that I've never understood about the fullback dive: the idea seems to be deception (since teams are expecting the carry to go to the halfback), but even on a halfback run someone's going to want to meet the fullback in the hole to disrupt the play's blocking. So a defense could be fooled by the deception but still hit the fullback and stuff the run. Am I missing something? That play almost never works.

Is the whole "there's a difference between the official saying 'stands' as opposed to 'confirmed'" an actual, legitimate NFL policy, or is it just something that announcers came up with on their own because certain referees would use different words when giving the results of a replay?

WHOA  The Giants were lucky that ball bounced a few inches out of bounds, or the Cowboys would have had an easy TD recovery.  The ball isn't dead in the end zone like on a punt.

Well the difference is overturning the call on the field. Spots are pretty rarely overturned, and usually depend on the dumb luck of having a decent angle. This time there just happened to be a camera right at/near the 1st down line.

Yeah, had the same thought.

No kidding. And for those with an affinity for college football, Texas-TCU in the evening could have college football playoff ramifications.
 
I'll be glued to the tv all day and there's a 0% chance I end the day sober.

What channel is the Jets/Bills game on? Is it being broadcasted nationally?
Only being broadcast in the Buffalo and New York City markets and for the Sunday ticket subscribers.

The guys announcing this game are comically bad. They just showed the catch last night and the color guy said "We now know your name, Ladell Beckham Jr."

You know, when protected decently, Kyle Orton can throw a pretty good ball into tight spaces.  He won't make anyone forget Peyton or Brady, but I'd wager he's above average in the NFL.
 
edit: and Geno Smith Vick most assuredly cannot.  My god, he overthrew that one to Decker by at least 15 yards.
 
edit2: and that one by 5 yards.  Decker had a touchdown handed to him on a platter.

Seemed kinda obvious on replay before commercial.

I think they should have awarded Morgan the TD on that long run. It's not good if the rules encourage the defense to make an unsafe tackle to stop a TD.
