Offical 2010 NFL Season Thread

You know, stick a few competent pass-blockers in front of him, and Aaron Rodgers just might be the best QB on the planet right now. I get the Packers/Eagles, and Rodgers has played absolutely incredibly once you account for early drops, a missed facemask penalty which led to his INT, and heavy pressure on just about every play.

I was really impressed with that Vick To Celek pass on the last drive too.

My Steelers survive to win in OT! And, I had Mendenhall going!

That Megatron non-touchdown call was bull, but I guess it was according to the rules. This guy didn't like the call (NSFW language)

Somehow Peyton Manning throws for 433, 3 TDs and no picks and Indy loses.

Clearly he doesn't have the mental toughness needed to win... or else isn't trying hard enough.

Saying "it's the rule" is fine, but if they're never going to call it that way, and then suddenly pull it out of their a** on a critical play at the end of the game, it's a bogus call.

That call isn't in the spirit of the rule at all. It's usually for a guy hitting the ground and coughing it up on contact. And it's usually in the middle of the field. Typically if you have possession and touch two feet down in the endzone it's over, TD. Even if you want to get technical, it's pretty clear he had possession the whole way and only dropped the ball as he was getting up to celebrate.

I would have been impressed by the Rams if they won the %#$^ game. Spagnuolo seems content with a loss as long as they play hard. Can't remember S Jackson ever being a factor in a close game.

Yeah, the fact that neither the NFL or NCAA understands the different nature between stuff that happens in the end zone/as you cross the goal line and plays in the middle of the field is really disheartening.

That is hilarious. It sure as hell looked like a catch and TD to me. I mean what more do you need to do? I know the call is consistent with the silly new rules - they did the same thing last year in an Oakland Raider game. But jeesh -I guess its not a TD until the guy dives into the stand. ^%^$%#%^^%$^6^@@@!!! oh wait -I picked the Bears to win in lastman standing pool. Never mind.
