Another Manning throw picked off by Godfrey.

Oat23

Huge touchdown for us!!!

Need good D now. Lions haven't scored in the 2nd half yet.

Chardee MacDennis

f*ck sake, moore is so green...

Eire-Dearg

Another end zone pick for NYG! Unbelievable!

That_Guy

This is mental. Panthers, having just intercepted a Manning throw end up throwing it away only for a Giants player to intercept in their endzone... again.

Mad.

Chucky the tree

Shocking from Moore. Clausen might be in sooner then we thought.

Trampas

Moore needs his head examine for some throws

some terrible play calling

davyjose

Arian Foster has almost doubled his career yards, and has doubled his career TD's. Lol. The TEXANS have rushed us for 260 yards!!!! :eek::eek::eek:

I thought our run D was sh!te before, but this is nuts.

We could will miss the playoffs if this doesn't turn out to be a freakish once-off.

O-line is just as bad. Dire!!!

davyjose

At least we have Peyton!!!

73 Yard TD pass. Managed to put a smile on my face

Chardee MacDennis

blocked punt, this game is mental...

cooker3

TD Lions!

edit: or not maybe...

That_Guy

Jaysus. What are the Giants doing?

Eire-Dearg

Poor Moore. What a disaster.

That_Guy

Moore having an absolute mare. I was gonna head down to the offo to get some cans but I just can't take my eyes away from this game. Crazy.

cooker3

That's a TD to the lions as far as I am concerned.

Oat23

No good. Oh my christ that was a scary moment.

Bears win, couple of questions over Calvins TD that was wiped out.

That_Guy

Trampas

I think that call is BS. Well actually the call is probably good, the rule is BS. If that isn't a touchdown than I don't know what it is.

Eire-Dearg

Hate that sideline guy for Fox, he reminds me of Pat Dolan.

Explain?

davyjose

Denver: 4th down, In the Red zone, 5 mins to go, down by seven. they go for it ...Pass incomplete!!!!

McDaniels clearly has no faith in his D/is losing the head. poor decision. 5 mins is lots of time in a 4 point ball game!!!

Chardee MacDennis

lets go 9ers!

Eire-Dearg

49ers with the earliest of interceptions.

Chardee MacDennis

touchdown san francisco!

edit: being challenged...

call reversed, boo...

cooker3

Ugh, bad start by the Packer O-Line.

I think he gained possession and was in full control. When he let go of the ball the play is over imo. I realise the rules say different but in this instance I think the rules are wrong.

davyjose

Packers should have kept that Favre guy -- that guy Rodgers is an interception machine

It was the players fault though. He slammed it into the ground on purpose. Rule number one -- protect the ball. He celebrated too soon, and got burnt. I agree it's harsh, but Johnson should never have let that happen!

cooker3

Rodgers sacked 3 times already. We are starting like we did last season.

Ah, I'm kidding. Rodgers is clearly a class act, I'm just "hazing" him a little, because he's yet to reach the level of a Favre, Brady, Manning, Brees, yet he seems to get as much, if not more plaudits, before he's really achieved that.

Like I said -- huge talent. But needs to earn those guys respect, tbh. Not just be handed it.

mikemac

Gah!

I had picked the Lions in the boards tipster competition

I'm sure NFL will have a video on the site later this week to explain what happened in more detail

Well I'm not watching the game but a lot of Rodgers sacks are his own fault holding onto the ball too long trying to make a play. I said that last season too, its something he has to get out of or he will have a short career.

Oat23

Technically right, but it's wrong. This is coming from a bears fan.

To be fair 2 of them are because Taucher got beaten. Eagles blitzing very well and we are not handling it at all.

And it was preventable by the receiver.

Same as the Colts non-INT. Can't understand why it wasn't an INT, but the player didn't protect the ball

so tough sh!t.

Black Swan

The Pack and Eagles tied at 3-3. The stats so far:

Statistics: GB/PHI
First Downs: 6/2
Total Yards: 47/33
Turnovers: 1/0

That TO hurt!

It seems to me that the Eagles defence is looking more like itself-the team has been able to spend the off season learning Sean McDermott's schemes. I've liked that we have some more exotic blitz packages that should be dialled up through the game(Bradley has been set loose a few times so I'd expect the rest of the line backers to go a few times in the second quarter).

Vick is getting quite a lot of action so far. He's being used as an option QB so far but you'd have to say that long term it is more important to get Kolb comfortable as the starter

cooker3

Ugh, horrible looking tackle. I think Leonard Weaver has broken his leg. Very nasty

cooker3

Woodson interception. Not the last time I expect to say those words this season.

Edit: overturned

I agree with you Johnson was an idiot for what he did but it should not had been an issue to begin with.
Much the same way that McShane was an idiot for his defending in Paris but that still doesn't change what happened was wrong afterwards imo.

Yeah, and what is McShane's reputation? Pretty damn shoddy.

I just can't understand why he didn't protect the ball. Nevermind protect it -- just don't slam it into the ground.

He kinda deserved what he got ... unfortunately the team and fans don't.

davyjose

Savage play from Seattle.

That hasselbeck guy is past it :P

Well McShanes reputation is irrelevant to the comparison. Anyway I think we agree! Johnson was an idiot, rule is harsh

Offense is pretty poor on both sides here. Not impressed with kolb at all yet.

Except that he's crap, so his poor play wasn't really unexpected. Actually, no offence, but thinking about it the analogy doesn't fit Sorry

**** Ryan Grant has injured his leg and it looked nasty. He was just starting to get motoring as well

frostie500

Lot of injuries in the Eagles Packers game. Jamal Jackson (Eagles centre),Kolb went down hurt and now Ryan Grant seems to have hurt his knee(Quinten Mickel fell on him, doesnt look to be too serious though)

Bradley down now as well for the Eagles, I know injuries are a part of the game but there are lot in this game!

There's life in the old dog yet;)
