midseason + shit thursday night game = NFL WEEK 9 thread on friday

thought sanchez looked great -- not horribly crushed about foles being out tbh. which is not to say that i'm encouraging a qb controversy.

yeahhhhhh INT

Gronk's on fire

oh shit

cant believe the punter got that away, but i guess i will take it

best punt returner

also lol @ simms trying to call a penalty, fuck you bro

Haterz

Drop it Simms

it's shoulder to shoulder, asshole

you'd think simms would be more grateful for those 2 rings bill got for him

mike carey pwned simms, lol

No good!

This may be the best showing from pats D so far this season

that's a helluva play

liking this ayers guy

Hindsight is 20/20 and all, but going for it on 4 & 6 seemed like a crazy call to me

yeah with a diff qb it would have been a good spot for a lil qb punt.

aw coming back

don't need to bother mike carey on this one fellas

There it is

no prob vereen is on it

that was pretty hilarious. always ints when these qbs go head to head, seems like.

poor welker :(

i enjoyed the INT though

welker looks bad this year

he's still coming down

lol

also broncos special teams are a complete joke

with the money they have invested in the front end the back half of their roster must be garbage

so . . . was skip bayless right about something?

no

getting reallllyy tired of yellow flag on every other play in the nfl

whew

broncos, maybe unimpressed with brady's couple of long throws, have been playing just 1 high safety in the 2nd half

i guess pats are into the wind this quarter too

lol

can anyone explain what's going on in Rams/49ers

that catch!

that's a dumb challenge

GRONK

ok Twitter explained it, lol49ers

that was a dumb 2pt decision too. exactly which team is john fox coaching today?

what happened w/ the niners game?

jeez what a catch

Crabtree makes a catch at the goalline, winds up being ruled not being a TD, Kaepernick tries to sneak it in and fumbles, Rams recover in endzone

lol that's good work

surprised teh broncos oline looks so bad this game, denver has really been dictated to on both sides of hte ball

wait did sf go for the win when they couldve tied it?

9ers wanted to emulate the wrenching ole miss loss, kudos chaps

harbaugh losing it i hope

lol @ sudden decision to go for it on fourth and one
i wonder if they don't like the defense once they're on the field, do they false start on purpose

pats d showed up in a pretty big way today

Ending to rams niners was great. Fuck harbaugh.

pats d was strong across the board but it was a banner day for hightower and collins as every down lbs, those guys were everywhere.

terrell suggs is such a worthless human being

otm that was horrible coulda ended blounts career

Terrell Suggs on the personal foul on Blount: “He was running and he was still up and moving the pile. I assessed the play. That was the only way I could get him down without him gaining more yards. I wasn’t trying to get him hurt. I was just trying to get the big guy down. Whatever.”

Whatever.

what an exciting rollercoaster ride the '14 steelers are. unless the season takes another serious swing they are realistically on for 11-5 which i definitely didn't see coming when they were losing at home to the bucs and looked like the worst team in the division.

last 3 weeks, patritos & steelers 3-0 each at home

pats 121 pts / 1208 net yds
pitt 124 pts / 1343 net yds

foles out 6-8 weeks, ryan out for the season

steve weatherford drinks mangosteen juice

that is totally unsurprising to me

Remember when the Pats and Steelers were both toast? Oh yeah that was like 3 weeks ago.

Colts and Pats should be an interesting match up in a couple weeks.
