This is where the likes of twitter is fantastic

Henie has been warming up on the sidelines for the past few minutes

I think we'll see him

Both Dwayne Bowe and Matt Cassel are having horrorshows in Indy. Brutal game.

Derek Anderson 2.0

Anderson was a RB for the Cardinals

Sorry, I'm not seeing the comparison to Cassell

edit, ah ReacherCreature has solved the mystery

Yep, that's the one.

Another Bucs turnover. Fumble from a Kick Return. Now 14-13 up, but Bengals in FG range at least. Beating ourselves really.

21-14 now, touchdown and 2 point conversion successful. That is 3 touchdown passes for Palmer now if you count the interception

ReacherCreature

Finally Colts score a touchdown. Took them 'till 5 minutes left in the game.

Damn skins just missed a field goal to tie up the game against the Packers (although it was a 51 yard field goal)

10 points down and only a few minutes left and the chiefs are happy to run draw plays and check downs to their RB in the middle of the field, horrible play-calling by them.

its the same in the denver game pretty much, only we were doing it all game and while down 17+ at times.... god, what a mess

Kyle Orton actually is God... now if only we could make those sort of plays outside the 2 min offence....

But Gano nails one on the next drive All square and looks like the game is heading to OT

Its because Orton isn't the type of QB to go out and sling it long. He has a weak arm. Denver will struggle to make comebacks at the best of times but against the Ravens D, very tough.

Packers-Skins going down to the wire...

Bills denied again, we played hard though. R Fitz is as serviceable a QB as they come.

And as I say it Orton pings one long, I stand by what I said though...:D

Uhh.... what?

mikemac

Ravens giving up two garbage TD's at the end of halfs.

Orton's stats look good this week but they don't tell the story of the game

And both safeties Landry and Zbikowski well beat on both TD's
Couch Harbaugh is going to lash them for this.

All the same, it was a win
Bring on the Patriots

Itssoeasy

all tied up in DC.

cooker3

Redskins Packers going into OT.
Blah. I thought Mason had kicked that over.

mikemac

Crossby hit the post on a 53 yd FG

We have overtime

Maybe weak arm was harsh, but he has never shown me that he has the accuracy and touch for deep balls, consistently. May have changed this year admittedly, I haven't seen them play alot.

DDC1990

Bucs tie it up 21-21. But then give up big yardage on the first pass.

Bengals have :52 with 2 timeouts to go 50 yds!

Bit of an understatement, he now leads the league in passing yards, is on pace to break Marino's yardage record and leads the league in plays over 40 yards, he's a HUGELY improved player this year now.

Itssoeasy

Tied game in Cincy with the bengals with the ball with 0:31 left on ze clock.

He won't break that record.

Credit where credits due, he has improved. Doesn't mean I'm convinced though long term, he always had terrible mechanics for the deep ball.

Itssoeasy

INT bengals.

evil_seed

McGahee's td tonight was sweet. 4 rushing td's in total. What was that I said about the broncos run d?

Itssoeasy

I thought he got his feet in. and the zebras agree. FG to win it.

DDC1990

:O :O :O

21-21. Bengals throw an interception. Tampa run it back. Freeman throws with :15 on the clock. Spurlock catches on the sideline. Challenged. Play Stands. Tampa have a 31 yd FG to win. Barth kicks it.

0:01 on the Clock. Bengals try a few laterals from kickoff and make it up to halfway. But one goes astray.

Bucs win 24-21!

Go Bucs!
