Percy good. Tennessee BAD. SO VERY BAD.

jesus h christ, titans.

they threw the ball five yards behind the line on third and five AND YET

thats such an insane play

guys I'm super nervous about this Packers/Texans game, it's kind of a must-win at this point

i'd be nervous too

JJ Watt was one of my favorite Badgers ever but somehow I feel I'm going to curse the dude's name after his 5th sack of Aaron Rodgers

Losing Benson isn't going to help.

this season is starting to feel like the first half of 2010 all over again, close losses and injuries, let's hope for the same ending

as much as I love Ted Thompson not trading for Marshawn Lynch when he had a chance was a real boner

omg that Vikings GIF

<3 forever

Speaking of a boner

Sanchez has been historically bad over the past month in terms of passing accuracy. He became the first quarterback since Stoney Case of the 1999 Baltimore Ravens to have four straight games with a completion rate under 50 percent (minimum: 25 attempts per game), according to ESPN Stats & Information.

TEEE BOW TEEE BOW TEEE BOW TEEE BOW TEEE BOW TEEE BOW TEEE BOW TEEE BOW TEEE BOW TEEE BOW TEEE BOW TEEE BOW TEEE BOW TEEE BOW TEEE BOW TEEE BOW TEEE BOW TEEE BOW TEEE BOW TEEE BOW TEEE BOW TEEE BOW

"I'm pleased the commissioner has finally acknowledged that I never participated in any so-called 'bounty' program, as I've said for the past seven months," Fujita said in a statement. "However, his condescending tone was neither accurate nor productive. Additionally, I am now purportedly being suspended for failing to confront my former defensive coordinator for his inappropriate use of language. This seems like an extremely desperate attempt to punish me. I also think it sets a bad precedent when players can be disciplined for not challenging the behavior of their superiors. This is an absolute abuse of the power that's been afforded to the commissioner.

"For me, the issue of player health and safety is personal. For the league and the commissioner, it's about perception and liability.

"The commissioner says he is disappointed in me," Fujita continued. "The truth is, I'm disappointed in him. His positions on player health and safety since a 2009 congressional hearing on concussions have been inconsistent at best. He failed to acknowledge a link between concussions and post-career brain disease, pushed for an 18-game regular season, committed to a full season of Thursday night games, has continually challenged players' rights to file workers compensation claims for on-the-job injuries, and he employed incompetent replacement officials for the start of the 2012 season. His actions or lack thereof are by the league's own definition, 'conduct detrimental.'

"My track record on the issue of player health and safety speaks for itself. And clearly, as I just listed, the commissioner's does, too."

burn

Agree with Fujita, Goddell's a fucking menace and should go.

11-3 last week missed on Colts/Packers, Seahawks/Ravens & Dolphins/Bengals. I'm now 43-34 (22-7 last 2 weeks).

Pittsburgh Steelers @ Tennessee Titans- Steelers are ugly but Titans are uglier. Pittsburgh.
Oakland Raiders @ Atlanta Falcons- Falcons should win and it's a big upset if they don't.
Detroit Lions @ Philadelphia Eagles- I'm taking the Eagles as it is the Lions on the road, but Philly is a flawed mediocre club.
St. Louis Rams @ Miami Dolphins- This is probably a pretty good and even matchup. I guess Dolphins as they have shown a more complete game as the Rams offense isn't that hot.
Dallas Cowboys @ Baltimore Ravens- Boy this is a battle of clubs that play dumb and have serious flaws. I'll go Ravens at home but it can go either way. Ravens D seems to be really missing Suggs.
Kansas City Chiefs @ Tampa Bay Bucs- Good lord, who knows or even more outside of Tampa or KC, who cares? I guess Bucs at home.
Indianapolis Colts @ New York Jets- I guess Colts, but I would believe in a let down an the Jets winning a fugly one. Colts have some serious issues on their o-line, as it is battered. Colts schedule is quite favorable over the rest of the season (Jets, Browns, Titans, Dolphins, Jags, Pats, Bills, Lions, Titans, Houston, KC, Houston) and it will be interesting to see how many wins they have in the end.
Cincinnati Bengals @ Cleveland Browns- These games go either way, sometimes they are no scoring affairs when you expect fireworks some the other way. I guess Browns in a squeaker, it's just too hard to sweep in this series. Cincy let me down last week.
Buffalo Bills @ Arizona Cardinals- Cardz but I would believe them getting upset.
New England Patriots @ Seattle Seahawks- Pats as I think they get up a couple scores, Seattle can't come back.
New York Giants @ San Francisco 49ers- Got to go Niners, as they seem more complete, but an interesting matchup.
Minnesota Vikings @ Washington Redskins- Wow am I taking the Vikings on the road? I guess I am.
Green Bay Packers @ Houston Texans- Not quite must win, but Green Bay needs to get one. I'm going Texans as the Colts ran the ball quite well on Green Bay in their comeback and Houston has a real running game. It's also a statement game for Houston, they won't take it lightly.
Denver Broncos @ San Diego Chargers- I don't think either club is that great, but I will go Broncos by a couple points.

Sanchez, who wears jersey No. 6, has six touchdown passes and six interceptions so far. He's averaging 6.6 yards per attempt, and his longest completion is 66 yards. His passer rating: 66.6.

And he just played in the 666th Monday Night Football game.

@caplannfl: According to @jawsespn, Bengals QB Dalton gets the ball out the fastest (2.3 secs) this season. Vick ranked 30th at 3.0 secs.

i had this nightmare

lol, god

Pittsburgh Steelers @ Tennessee Titans- Steelers
Oakland Raiders @ Atlanta Falcons- Destruction in the Georgia Dome, Raiders go down big
Detroit Lions @ Philadelphia Eagles-Two teams way overblown before the season started. Lions
St. Louis Rams @ Miami Dolphins- Rams. Will anybody be at the game?
Dallas Cowboys @ Baltimore Ravens- Ravens kill the Cowboys here.
Kansas City Chiefs @ Tampa Bay Bucs- Cant believe anybody will be at this one either. Chiefs are the better team on paper, so a tepid vote for them.
Indianapolis Colts @ New York Jets- Jets are nowhere. They are embarrassing. Colts showed serious heart last week, Colts.
Cincinnati Bengals @ Cleveland Browns- Bengals, big. Very big.
Buffalo Bills @ Arizona Cardinals- Upset special, Bills
New England Patriots @ Seattle Seahawks- I like the Hawks here.
New York Giants @ San Francisco 49ers- Game of the week. Niners.
Minnesota Vikings @ Washington Redskins- Vikings. Lets hope Allen doesnt kill RG III.
Green Bay Packers @ Houston Texans- Texans look fucking awesome, even without Cushing. Texans
Denver Broncos @ San Diego Chargers- Chargers

Frank Caliendo lands on ESPN
The former Fox NFL pregame show comedian will be part of ESPN's "Sunday NFL Countdown," starting Oct. 16.

HAY WHAT DOES JOHN MADDEN HAVE TO SAY ON THIS

"Tue, Oct 9, 2012 - Was Cam Newton's Rookie Season A Fluke? Rapper Bun B, Eric Mangini, Stephen A. Smith and Skip Bayless discuss Cam Newton's struggles in his second season in the NFL."

I'm sure in the john before he hits the set to do the segment, Eric Mangini probably looks at himself in the mirror and wonders "Was I really that crappy a coach to not have a job and have to talk to these clowns?"

browns score! 11-5

^that's their projected record not the score

Vick finally fumbles at his third try today

The center is trying to kill him. 2 snaps where vick isn't looking and a third too low.

nnamdi shutting down megatron and picks a pass off and keller & mordy are nowhere to be found smh

i'm right here

it was a beautiful pick but it's hard to get excited about this game w/ eagles playing so lacklustery on offense

here comes the end of the 2nd quarter meltdown for the browns

and...

scene

dear raiders, can we win so cankles won't yell at me in all caps about how my team is terrible? thx <3 vg

actually that'll probably happen either way, lol

<3 u cankles

celek is tough. took a huge hit, limped, waved off trainer, stayed in game

Browns clawing their way back.

why would dallas kick a PAT to make it a 4 pt game??

wow, beautiful vick to jackson

refs just literally stole a TD from the eagles

in a touching tribute to mark sanchez, matthew stafford is 6-20 today

pat shurmur looks a lot like the mayor of bodymore in the wire

cowboys in FG range to win

boomer, cowher and brown sound like they have tuberculosis

HAHA FUCK U COWBOYS

f+++ missed it

horrifying glance into the abyss there, rooting for a dallas game winning FG

can i say, heckuva pickup of shonn greene, brownie.

whoopee

this is how we do it

picked up greene around 12:45 pm today

^_^

i was eyeballing him but tbh i wouldn't have even started him, would have gone forward w/d-mart and spill and ridley.

russell wilson killin it

eagles/lions going to OT

terrible playcalling by detroit at the end there

ok, here we go. detroit fg from 27yard line to win in OT

does andy freeze him

45 yard attempt

lol eagles forever

i love the eagles but seriously lol

i hate vick. how many turnovers from him this game? 3?

vick played fine... the defense blew a 10 point lead with five minutes left in the game

jesus detroit won

wb hernandez. beautiful quick throw brady

Both teams played hard my man

I wont say i thought they'd steamroll the raiders but i wasnt prepared for them to come so hard on D. 3 late, close wins in a row for the falcons - not really a recipe for success, but i'll take the 6-0~

wow, can't recall seeing a punter fumble the ball

So....it turns out this rg3 kid is pretty good

they've been rolling in the second half

lol alex smith

reversion to mean

bills are destructing

lol feely

rg3

squawks

seattle take lead. killing NE with long passes all game

big day for jay feely

patriots have gone to truly amazing lengths to lose this.

Truly an aggravating loss.

if buff can somehow win - 4 way tie in afc east

pats have some issues that are not going away

boy, that RG3

trying to think of anything less dignified that getting burned by sidney rice in 2012

Wow, Seattle beat NE? Impressive. Had to run an errand and left watching football in the 3rd quarter of the Giants game, who by the way looked really good today against the Niners.

RG3 making that ridiculous tradeup look justified, holy cow

Running QBs always look great against the Vikings, but that was the best I've seen since the famous Steve Young run.

browns getting outbid for RG3 will probably go down as one of the 10 worst moves in cleveland sports history

http://bit.ly/QmpgLI

I think Rodgers is out for blood right now.

I was out all day.. HOW DID PATRIOTS LOSE THIS FOOTBALL GAME! wtf

er I mean RGIII RGIII RGIII 4eva <3<3<3 the best, now get Snyder to change the team name so I can buy your jersey

I was out all day.. HOW DID PATRIOTS LOSE THIS FOOTBALL GAME! wtf

5 or so really critical mistakes

ugh

and yet I'm still assuming there will be a moment in the next week or two when pats get it together, and then run the table for the rest of the season

the secondary and the pass protection are huge problems

dang belichick.. secondary's been a problem four seasons at least

Wilson was airing it out all day long. Brady connected a lot but also gave up some pretty huge INTs.

gaaaah why can they not find the right players for the secondary

or is it a coaching thing like the Pats beat writers saying why do they have them playing so far off the receivers

"okay.. you're gonna fight? you're going to hit him in the head with a helmet on?"

collinsworth v disgusted right now

out here punching ppl in the helmet smfh, houston

Houston is really helping us out with this game, thx dudes!

collinsworth disgusted with texans running game, disgusted with texans in general for not playing better on their big sunday night prime time game

"Do you not realize we gave you this opportunity to perform for us? DO YOU NOT REALIZE WHO WE ARE"

I've also learned this evening that this revolution show is TV'S MOST WATCHED DRAMA

and if you are a jerk to your wife, directv thinks you are exactly the person who needs an upgrade with directv

CBS football said that Elementary was TV's most watched new drama.

Basically I want to give this game a great big hug, you guys. <3

Oooh weirdly they are both right: http://tvbythenumbers.zap2it.com/2012/10/09/tv-ratings-broadcast-top-25-sunday-night-football-tops-week-2-viewing-among-adults-18-49-but-ncis-wins-with-total-viewers/152130/

CBS counts Total Viewers (because they love old people), with whom Elementary does best, and NBC counts 18-49 because they hate old people (like Fox and ABC) and weirdly the most people in my age group are interested in the show about no electricity.

Downside of today's game: every defensive player is now injured

Maybe this is just me but if I have to miss my kid's recital performance of "Axel F" on the tuba because of work, I don't really want the ability to FaceTime it because of a mobile hotspot. I probably will be secretly kind of glad that I didn't have sit through a child playing Axel F on the tuba.

"awww sorry little buddy, I bet you were great! I just had a whole lot of sick people to deal with, and you know how bad the reception is at the hospital"

Glorious

admittedly I did watch the show about no electricity, it is rather silly (I don't care about Lost or any of those type of shows). only tuning in b/c of esposito <3

also having missed most of the day of NFL I went to see if Cowboys lost and ran across this delightful headline and a Dallas beat writer who is all kinds of disgusted

http://espn.go.com/dallas/nfl/story/_/id/8504622/dallas-cowboys-done-dumb-mistakes-baltimore-ravens
Dumb mistakes doom Cowboys again

cmon pack! hang 50 points on these guys svp you have time

Garrett is terrible

wtf at Texans fans booing their 5-1 team, this is literally the greatest team in the history of the franchise

this may be old but

loled at "California University of Pennsylvania"

I just learned the other day, in an unrelated thing, that California University of Pennsylvania is real.

haha no shit?

i thought that was indiana u of PA?

EEEEEE EEEEEEEE shoulda been from THE U

@JayGlazer: MRI on Ray Lewis showed a complete tear of that triceps and is done for the year ... And maybe his career. What a bummer.

yikes

aw man that's actually kinda sad

i bet he'll be back next year. he's not going out on an injury.

yeah I'm kinda thinking that Lewis would take 'career injury' as a challenge

I think at this point you can say it's totally wide open to who is going to win it all. Pretty much outside Atlanta being the last undefeated club standing, although nearly losing to some lesser clubs, all of the good clubs have gotten tagged by someone else pretty good.

how early can you definitively call a team "out of the playoffs"? Does anyone ever recover from 1-5 historically?

apparently it's only happened once - the 1970 bengals started 1-6

how about 1-4?

Superbowl this year is probably going to be something stupid like Rams vs. Dolphins.

happened 5 times, last was the '02 jets

Let's see...way early playoff picture.

Probable locks to win division-

Falcons
Texans

Both of those guys going 6-0 and 5-1 to start are already 3+ games up on the rest of the division.

AFC East- everyone is 3-3. Got to think the Pats will still end up winning that one, but the Dolphins look pretty solid across the board.

AFC North- B-more and Pittsburgh are both shadows of former years. One of them will probably win the division, but I don't see them making that many moves beyond a playoff appearance.

AFC West- You knew going in that it was pretty wide open. Denver's defense can't get teams off the field being the surprise.

NFC East- Giants up a game and seem to be more talented but injury prone. Eagles and Cowboys can win a game but have serious flaws. Washington seems to be on the upswing, but consistency and keeping RJIII healty will probably be their keys if playoff shot comes up.

NFC North- Bears defense looks real, but they got usual problems on offense. If Rogers can only throw for 500 yards and 6 TDs a game they are freaking great, but their defense is already looking raggedy again and they still can't run the ball. Detroit seems improved over past couple weeks, but they have games where they give up a zillion points. Minnesota won a couple games but they could go 6-10 at this point and I wouldn't be surprised. I'd buy Bears winning the division with Green Bay getting the wildcard here.

NFC West- Hard to argue with the records, but they are some odd teams. Niners fliping in and out the QB definitely looked like the beginning of some type of QB psychosis starting (and Harbaugh probably has those internal scars from Ditka doing the same thing to him). That defense is pretty loaded. Rams defense is definitely improved, offense seems to be missing parts. Cardz success seems kind of fluky as you just can't count on their Qbs in the end. Seattle is a mad scientist lab that seems to be working, although it shouldn't. I'd buy Niners winning division and Seattle maybe ending up a wild card team.

AFC I don't know...I wouldn't be surprised home field is gotten with an 11-5 and you end up with a couple 9-7 and a 8-8 in the playoffs.

I wouldn't go so far to say the NFC is the stuff, I think the better teams are better but the dregs are worse in the NFC too. The AFC is just mostly a big azz huddled mass of aging teams and others trying to figure it out.

AFC does have the worse dregs though...

;_; peyty

Manning looks like the third best QB in his division

Who's second?

Carson?

Peyton looks legit psychotic on the sideline

Carson is having a nice season, yeah

and he can actually put some velocity on the ball unlike zombie peyton

I fucking hate this poorly prepared, mentally weak, under talented, pus-sack of a team.

if the chargers stay healthy this year...

Fox must go

http://assets.sbnation.com/assets/1565139/manningabyss_medium.gif

u mad

peyton manning, pictured, who posts as 'Hunt3r' on internet forum ilxor.com

^ "Why am I here? Oh yeah, 90 million dollars." xps

lol. norv it up sd.

fox still must go.

SD trying to lose this game now, I hope? cmon Peyton

norv

<3<3<3 go denver go

this could only happen to norv

and he can actually put some velocity on the ball unlike zombie peyton

― Matt

LOL

ur such a Carson hater, it's weird

this might be more enjoyable than romo throwing five picks last week

Peyty has a 14-4 td to int ratio this season, pretty good living dead performance.

yeah he's still pretty good even with the noodle

wow are you serious

uh that run call?

i'm just lolling at the idea that carson palmer has more of an arm than peyton right now. they're both whipping linguini.

awesome

was that pick #4 on the night?

yeah let's go back to eddie royal

lmao

this would be even more fun if they'd bring jaws back. i miss jaws

I presume this game set some sort of record

uhhh what happened? It was like 24-0 when I stopped checking the score on my phone. Jesus.

The teams switched unis at halftime.

HAHA DENVER WON WHAT

http://assets.sbnation.com/assets/1565651/peytonf_medium.gif

holy shit @ this result

sup guys i went to bed at the half.

phone call, papa bear, hut hut!!

amazing game, wow.
