NFL Week 5

[Sabo]

The Browns win today was the largest deficit overcome by a road team in NFL history. They were down 28-3 and won 29-28.

[Gunpowder]

Never ever fucking again with the Lions in survivor. I have two rules now, no consensus picks and no God-damn Lions.

The Browns win today was the largest deficit overcome by a road team in NFL history. They were down 28-3 and won 29-28.

The most shocking aspect of that is that the Rams didn't complete their own comeback from 27 down in Philly to overshadow the Browns accomplishment.

I DVR's the browns game and watched it after i got off road. So much fun. Terriblt beginning, then just stole the momentum. God bless Hoyer Dude is good for 2 quarters a game. Glad it was the last two today.

[tennbengal]

Oh yay. Marvin Lewis and his team in a biggish game. Next verse, same as the first.

[Pruitt]

Nice day for Pruitt.

Honestly, that might have been the best half hour I've had in ten years.

And to top it off, I had Manning and Ellington which netted me 104 points.

Better news too is that I am going to the first place showdown at the Ralph next weekend.

Man, I wish every day was like this.

[Jerloma]

That fucking play where they called the Sanu drop a fumble on the field and then corrected it but still called a PF on the Patriot for hitting someone on the fumble return? Most inexplicable call of the year. If that were the Steelers I'd be writing a letter to New York right now.

[Rush2112]

I think this game would have been even more of a blowout if the Pats hadn't had some of those "penalties."

[brian]

I put down a big bet on the Pats tonight. Can't miss the chance to bet them as a home dog. As bad as all my sports teams sucked ass this weekend, I won damn near every sports bet. Go figure.

Also, betting against Marvin Lewis coached teams in big games (prime time and especially playoffs) is absolute money in the bank.

[Gunpowder]

Hopefully the stars align and I can bet against big game Cincinnati and big game University of Georgia in the same week.

[Brontoburglar]

Big game University of Georgia is playing big game University of Missouri. I'd stay the hell away from that game.

[Jerloma]

[Gunpowder]

JAX!

For Delaware - I don't mind Jacksonville as a city. It's boring as hell but I'd rather live there than Miami. Like Dallas with a beach.

[Rex]

Why is there a pool there? And why does the pool have a glass window so you can't even do it while the game is going on?

[mister d]

4th from the left got that thought in your head too, eh buddy?

[Gunpowder]

[HaulCitgo]

Cin walked into a hornets nest last night. Not much you can do with that kind of energy. That place probably hasn't seen regular season noise like that since the stadium was built.

[The Sybian]

I don't often praise the Patriots organization, but their support of Devon Stills was pure class. The cheerleaders even wore Stills' jerseys at the beginning of the game, as Stills jersey sales support some charity.

[sancarlos]

Jaguars' mascot offers commentary on Steelers fans' Terrible Towels.

[brian]

I actually think that's pretty funny. People get offended too easily these days.

[Pruitt]

Very funny. Nice to see something entertaining in that stadium.

And the Bengals - as much as I hate them - are being super classy with the Devon Stills situation. Also like the fact that all of the money the NFL takes in on his shirt sales is going to paediatric cancer research. I am a cynical bastard, but the feature that NBC played about Stills and his daughter before the game last night really made it dusty in the room.

Not as funny as Jag Rags, but you're otherwise right.

Right, and I'm not saying that Steelers fans were offended either, but someone somewhere must have been since the Jaguars were made to apologize. My guess would be it wasn't Steelers fans, but just the typical base of loony wingnuts (on both sides) who look for any opportunity to be offended.

This was Devon Still's reaction when the Patriots played a show of support on their video board:

[SportsDoc]

Why do I think Matt Prater will be on a plane to Detroit very soon?

[brian]

Why do I think Matt Prater will be on a plane to Detroit very soon?

Because there was a story reporting that over an hour ago?

Once again, I'm a man behind his time!

(Jay Feely too, for whatever it's worth. But presumably it's Prater's job to lose.)

[sancarlos]

I knew Prater wouldn't be out of work long. He's an excellent kicker. But, Denver was getting tired of him getting suspended (twice), so when the replacement was working out fine...

That was actually his response to Marvin's gameplan.
