lsu just didn't show up vs Ole Miss..deserved that loss

We'll take a win by any means. Most people in rest of the country don't know what a rivalry game this is and the outcome is a little unpredictable.....however, I see LSU losing another game or two. They are in a bit of a re-building year.

We'll take a win by any means.

Apparently Tennessee will try to win by any means,... any means including deliberately targeting receivers and runners knees with low launches. Saw one hit in particular that could've ended a LOT worse than it actually did, the Alabama player was lucky he jerked his leg back in time to avert having it "Lattimore'd". Tennessee did the same bullshit against Georgia a few weeks ago which is why half the offense is on the sidelines with fucking crutches right now.

I know sometimes all you can say is, "Hey, that's football", but you can clearly see how these assholes are setting up to tee off 1on1 on these guys and launching themselves low to target the knees. What sucks the most about it is that the NFL and NCAA are eventually gonna start penalizing for low hits to the front or side of the knee, and while that might be a great idea in theory, it's gonna end up getting people penalized unnecessarily for shit that isn't deliberate just like the helmet-to-helmet shit.

Right when I call the Ohio State upset they play the best game they've played in years maybe.. hahaha

Oregon st Stanford game is tight.

[haunted]

oh and why and the hell is stanford ranked #6 when they lost to Utah?

[Sgt. Dick]

I did not see a single snap today   
I just got back home and checked the scores.
 
Dallas/Detroit - wish I would have seen that game, Detroit turns it over 4 times and still pulls out the win 31-30 with 12 seconds left.  Calvin Johnson goes off with 14 catches for 329 yards 

Brees has another monster game with 5 TD's in New Orleans win over Buffalo.

Arizona runs wild on the Atlanta defense which in not that surprising, but Matt Ryans throwing 4 picks is. 

I wish Jax and Tampa would play so we could prove which team is the worst in the NFL.  I think Tampa is better than Jax, but there is no way to prove it.

bengals rolled on the jets hard.. good D and O.. better yet, green and gio didn't even score. I think they'll get bumped up to 4th or 5th in the rankings now(from 7th).

WHO DAT!

Saints looking like they finally made some good draft picks in Stills and Vaccaro (jury is still not decided of course )

Dallas/Detroit - wish I would have seen that game, Detroit turns it over 4 times and still pulls out the win 31-30 with 12 seconds left.  Calvin Johnson goes off with 14 catches for 329 yards 

I was watching that one. At a couple point during the game, the Fox guys announcing it put some stat graphics on the screen that were just dumbfounding. I think it was about halfway through the 3rd quarter when they threw up a stat telling how Dallas had about 250yds of total offense, meanwhile Calvin Johnson ALL BY HIMSELF (yeah, not including the other Lions players!) had 280 yds receiving. AND THEY WERE STILL TRAILING!!! Un-fuckin'-believable!!! How does that even happen!?! Well I'll tell you how it happens...

The next stat they put up was the outcome of games that have gone -4 in the turnover margin for any particular team. Teams that have had 4 turnovers themselves versus 0 turnovers for the other team, have gone 1-54!!! One ONE TIME out of 55 games has a team gone on to win the game after turning it over 4 times and not getting any takeaways themselves. AND THEN DETROIT GOES ON TO WIN IT!

Man, I was cussing Detroit all day long for that shit. They'd start doing great, get a huge play, be moving the ball good and then BAM, ANOTHER turnover. The shit was driving me bananas. I was juuuuuuust getting ready to turn the channel towards the end, thinking to myself, "There's no way in hell that they'll pull it off." But for some reason, I decided to sit there and keep watching. Glad I did. AWESOME comeback. It was even better than Tom Brady's comeback the other week in my opinion. They got it to about the 1yd line and I swore Stafford was about to spike it. Then he doesn't and I'm like "NOOOOOOOO!!! WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU DOING!?!" And then he jumps over the pile to break the plane, and I'm all "HOLY SHIT! IT WORKED!!!"

Yea, Stafford took a huge risk on that one, pretty fucking sick throw the play before that too..if ol Matthew could keep his INT's down he'd be in the talks as one of the Elite QBs in the league..doesn't hurt throwing to Megatron of course

Yeah, Calvin Johnson's about 6'6" with a standing reach of probably a little over 8', and god only knows what his jump is. Stafford's kinda grown into a gunslinger style QB, and they always have a higher number of INT's, but it sometimes balances out due to bigger passing plays. Guys like Johnson don't have the opportunity to wow the fuck outta you unless a QB says fuck it and takes some risks throwing it his way when he's covered well. It's not entirely Stafford's fault that he's had to become a gunslinger either. When they can't manage to find a runningback worth a shit, he's got no choice but to pass it every down. Luckily, Detroit's coach is apparently smart enough to realize that attempting too many runs with a crappy RB is just a waste of downs and possession time. Reggie Bush ain't horrible, but he ain't terrific either. He USED to be terrific. But Kim Kardashian, true to her nature, must've sucked all the terrific outta his dick before she dumped him. I think she's a talent vampire. Everyone she dumps instantly becomes B-list.

Reggie was never that great of a runner, great recieving/return threat though..running the ball he always tries to hit the homerun..(did even moreso in Nola) Miami did him some good in that department though..

The Seahawks better get home field or they will be gone early, they are not the same team when they play on the road.
135 total yards against St. Louis 

[Sgt. Dick]

Jax was already the worst team in the NFL and now arguably their best player is suspended indefinitely.

This guys has real talent, its a shame that he will probably throw it all away.

Games I'm watching:

UNC v. NCState
Florida State v. Miami

Games I'm curious about:

Michigan v. Michigan St
Pitt v. GATech
#18 Okie state v. #15 Texas Tech
Tennessee v. #9 Mizzou
Virginia Tech v. Boston College


-UNC looks good against boston college. BC has given Florida State their closest game so far, and only lost to clemson 24-14. After NC gave them their worst loss yet(unc played pretty dang good on both sides of the field for a change), and after Va Tech's tight loss to duke, I'm curious how the two teams will do against each other. I'm also wondering if UNC can keep their momentum with their rivalry game against NCState at 12:30pm est today.

-FSU Miami game will be crucial and possibly a good one. FSU could either surpass Oregon in the BCS again, or drop to the #9 spot or so, depending on their performance.

-Yeah, I didn't name Georgia v. Florida.. haha. I'm still more likely to tune into that game for a bit than half of the games I listed in the 2nd group, though.

-Who cares about Nebraska v. Northwestern
