Driving is usually called when a guy throws the QB down, that was just Richardson's momentum carrying through the tackle, and when the tackle started Rivers had barely gotten the ball out.
 
Got it. I was thinking of the Chandler Jones penalty from the Miami game. I guess the difference may be too subtle for my eyes.

Goddam Demaryius Thomas is good. It really friggin sucks Den used the Pats pick to get this guy. Oh and the other traded spot was Dez Bryant. But I guess Hernandez was worth it.

Dez had character issues.

“@mikerodak: Jim Schwartz told Bills players in OTAs that he wanted to be carried off the field if he beat Lions. They did and he was.”

Classy.

Pats got McCourty four picks after Dez, and Aaron Hernandez with one of the picks.

I got a lot of shit last year for saying this but Rivers is a borderline HoFer.
Yup

Fox going into the half there with Manning and OK field position was absurd

I don't think Rivers is really borderline anymore. He's in.
26th all time yardage, 25th all time TDs, 4th all time passer rating.
 
He's only 32 so he'll climb up those first two stats quite a bit.
 
Should be top 20 in yards and top 15 in TDs by the end of the year.

Don't let the facts get in the way of a good rant. 
 
Exactly. Let him go, he's rolling.
 
Yes we netted DMC and AH at the time and it looked good. DMC has probably turned out better than we expected and who knew about AH's skeletons in his closet*.  It's one of those things where we bash BB continuously for lack of drafting prowess, esp WR, and there were 2 excellent ones drafted in our slots. Personally I don't fault BB for the trades at all, its one of those boo hoo revisionist rants. It's not like he drafted Sam Bowie instead.
 
*unclear if they were actually skeletons come draft time or just partially decomposed

Man, seeing the Broncos blitz pickup on 3rd and long just now made me sad.

"Fire Rex" seems to be the common call, although it's really Idzik who should be taking the blame.
 
TGG never lets you down.  I hit my bigoted and misogynist Bingo on like, post #3 of that thread.  They're so incredibly consistent.

This makes Rex look like such an assclown. He denied up and down that Vick would come in for Geno, but here we are.
