- The Saints must have realized the absurdity of the fact that they were tied with the Rams, because Courtney Roby takes the opening kick of the second half back 97 yards and fixes that, making it 21-14 NO.
- Now TO catches a 37 yard bomb from Trent Edwards. Who I guess is back, I am just realizing this. I literally dropped Owens this morning and now he has close to 100 yards receiving.
- Ball gets tipped in the air and picked off by Bengals D lineman Frostee Rucker, who lumbers down to the Pittsburgh 10 yard line.
- Jason Snelling is in for the injured Michael Turner, and gets the Falcons into the red zone. But on 3rd down Ryan tries to force it to Gonzalez, is lucky its not picked off, and the Falcons will probably try to kick it to pull within 21-13.
- The Bills can't capitalize on TO's big reception but do tie it up on a Rian Lindell FG. It's 17-17.
- Brees gets picked off for the second time today, this time by James Butler.
- Orton is indeed injured, and here's the spleenless Chris Simms.
- The Bengals offense melts after Frostee's INT and have to settle for a field goal, tying the Bengals/Steelers game at 9.
- 2nd TD of the game for Peterson and it's 17-3 Vikings over Detroit.
- Sanchez boofs up a swing pass and its picked off by the Jags D-line, setting up the Jaguars on the NYJ 5. The give is to MJD but he makes me yell at the TV by being my second player today to be stopped inches short of the goal line, then botching a handoff from Garrard and fumbling it away. Fuck everything.
- The Rams get a 32 yard FG after the Brees pick and pull within 21-17.
- Braylon Edwards gets a big gain on a crossing route out of the Jets end zone, but then remembers he's Braylon Edwards and fumbles it away to the Jags.
- Jon Kasay gets a FG blocked and it's still 21-13 Panthers over ATL.
- Well look at Reggie Bush today. First 2 TDs and now he's busting a 50+ yard run to get the Saints in the red zone.
- Shayne Graham hits a 32 yarder and its 12-9 Bengals over Steelers.
- Oh ho ho...very picturesque play in STL. Brees hits Colston over the middle, who goes airborne trying to get in. He's hit and the ball pops out and rolls out of the end zone for a touchback. OJ Atogwe makes the stick, and he's having a big game having picked Brees off earlier.
- Ryan makes a big 3rd and 4 conversion to Gonzalez in the red zone, the Falcons are driving. Jason Snelling is shining in relief of the injured Turner.
- The Lions have a turnover deep in Vikings territory nullified by a penalty called on a diving helmet to helmet hit on Matt Stafford, and the Lions 2 plays later get a TD pass from Stafford to Will Heller to make it 17-10 Vikings.
- Sanchez hits Braylon Edwards in the end zone for an apparent TD, but his feet they are not in bounds.
- The Jets then have to settle for a FG attempt to pull within 21-16.
- Tampa gets their 3rd field goal of the day to make it 19-9 Miami.
- Falcons have 3rd and 1 on the Panthers 3 yard line, and Jason Snelling gets stuffed. Decision time for the Silver Fox. They trail by 8 and they're going for it. Ryan rolls out and finds Justin Peele for a TD but there's flags everywhere. It's going to be defensive holding against Carolina, the score counts, and it's 21-19. We'll see if they go for 2 to tie it.
- Ced Benson is out of the Bengals/Steelers game with a hip injury.
- In Nashville, Chris Johnson breaks another long run on the option. Then Vince Young scrambles down to the 1, and it looks like the Titans are going to untie that game.
- The Saints are now up 11 on the Rams as Brees finds Robert Meachem in the back of the end zone. 28-17 NO.
- Lots of injuries today. Ronnie Brown is out with an apparent knee injury.
- Shaun Sweeeesham is good from 30 and the Redskins are tied 17-17 with Denver.
- Jeff Fisher challenges Young's run thinking it was a TD, which it clearly was not, he loses and we'll see if that comes back to haunt him and his moustache. Why you would challenge in the 4th quarter of a tie game when you have 1st and goal from the 1 is beyond me. Stupid.
- Roethlisberger picks up a big 1st down on 4th and 1 on a sneak. Steelers have 1st down near the Bengal 10, trailing 12-9.
- See there was no need to waste a timeout and a challenge. Just let Chris Johnson walk it in. 24-17 Titans over Bills.
- 3rd and 15 now for the Steelers. Ben has Santonio Holmes and Mike Wallace open in the end zone but can't get it to either of them and we have our 8th field goal of the game. 12-12.
- Hmmm..Josh Freeman with a 33 yard scoring pass to Maurice Stovall, and the Bucs now within a FG of the Dolphins, 19-16 in the 4th quarter.
- Sanchez and Edwards a very nice throw and catch conversion on 3rd and nine following a Dustin Keller drop to keep a Jets drive going into Jaguar territory with 7 1/2 minutes left in a game the Jets trail by 5.
- Now Albert Haynesworth is hurt. It's like Gallipoli out there today.
- Simms tries to add to my misery by throwing deep in the end zone to Marshall, but the Redskins intercept.
- FYI the 2 point conversion in Charlotte failed so its still 21-19 Panthers with just under 9 minutes left.
- Carson Palmer with a big completion down to Lav Coles and the Bengals are on the Steeler 24 in a tie game.
- Roddy White breaks a 34 yard reception and Atlanta is down to the Carolina 16, threatening to take the lead.
- Shonn Greene down to the Jaguar 1. Jets down 21-16 with a little over 5 minutes left. Thomas Jones punches it in and the Jets are on top.
- Brian Leonard gets stopped on 3rd and 3 in Pittsburgh and it looks like we will have yet another FG attempt.
- Edwards drops the 2 pt conversion attempt, and the Jets lead by just 1 point with 5 minutes remaining against Jax.
- Shayne Graham is good to put Cincy up 15-12 on the Steelers, but Jason Elam misses a chip shot that would have given Atlanta the lead over Carolina. They still trail with a little over six minutes left.
- We have simultaneous big completions to Sidney Rice in Minny, and Devin Thomas in DC, and the Vikings and Redskins are both knocking on the door. Minny to go up by 2 scores against Detroit, and Washington trying to take the lead on Denver.
- Favre hits the great J. Dugan for a TD and its 24-10 Vikings. Meanwhile Rod Bironas is good from 51 to put Tennesse up by 10 over Buffalo.
- Ladell Betts punches it in and the Redskins lead Denver by a TD with 2:44 left.
- Jacksonville has a huge 3rd and nine, and Garrard finds Mike Thomas for a big gain into Jet territory.
- Meanwhile, Matt Ryan continues to bring the suck, getting picked off again and Atlanta is in a lot of trouble.
- Garrard finds Marcedes Lewis over the middle and the Jags are inside the Jet 20.
- Well shove my balls between my legs and call me Bernice, Jonathan Stewart breaks a 50 yard TD run to put away Atlanta, as sad eyed 1920s motherfucker Arthur Blank looks on, ready to glove slap someone.
- Of course that TD is quickly nullified by a defensive TD for the Titans on an interception, and I'm going against their defense. I hate fantasy football, and everything in it.
- Then MJD takes a knee at the one. I'm starting my car and revving the engine, garage door closed. The broadcast team is calling this "brilliant".
- Now is the time on Sprockets where I lose my fucking mind.
- Donnie Avery has his second TD of the game and its 28-23 Saints with a little over 2 minutes left.
- Scobee proves there is no justice in this universe. He make it and Jags win 24-22.
- Shaun Sweeesham is good from 36 and the Broncos are down by 10 and pretty much done.
- Cincy has a huge 3rd and 3. Scott is stopped and Pittsburgh will get the ball back with plenty of time to score a winning TD.
- Minnesota's up 27-10 now. Let's all hope they still have a Defensive TD in them.
- The Rams have the ball down by 5 with 2:21 left. Can they pull off the upset of the year?
- Shayne Graham makes it 18-12, but the Steelers will get the ball with a little under 2 minutes left.
- 2 finals, Redskins 27-17 over Denver, Carolina over Atlanta 28-19.
- Tennessee's got another defensive TD on a Rod Hood INT. Why the fuck not.
- The Steelers do absolutely nothing with their last chance to win, and the Bengals are going to sweep the Steelers.
- Meanwhile, Chad Henne throws a horrible INT as the Dolphin try to run the clock out, and now Tampa has the ball in Miami territory and can send it into OT with a field goal or win it with a TD.
- And Cadillac Williams is down to the 1. Miami's going to lose.
- Hood's INT went right thru the hands of TO. Thanks for that.
- The Rams are moving. They are past the 50 after a Bulger to Randy McMichael completion.
- Donnie Avery just had Randall Gay incinerated but Bulger threw right into Gay's back.
- Cadillac scores to put Tampa ahead but the Dolphins still have a minute left. Why didn't Cadillac just take a knee like MJD did? Because Cadillac does not want to put me in the mental hospital.
- Bulger throws up a Hail Mary incompletion and the Saints just barely hold on to go to 9-0.
- Now the Dolphins are driving, and it looks ironically enough like the Bucs are going to lose this game because Cadillac did not pull an MJD and take a knee on the one.
- I think I need to start going to church on Sunday.
- Gambler's church.
- Ricky Williams busts a long run to set up Carpenter for an easy game winning field goal, and the Dolphins are going to beat the Bucs 25-23.
- Is it too much to ask for the Vikings defense to score a TD here?
- I guess it is.
- OK well that was incredibly frustrating. Hope you enjoyed the early games more than I did. From a football fan's perspective lots of exciting action, from my perspective, I had a guy on my fantasy team kneel down on the 1 yard line. Signing off.
