Ha ha! Bears proved tonight that they are bad, but not as putrid as the Niners! I had flashbacks of my Madden game against FMT when the Bears struck early to go up 7-0, and then they had the turnover which lead to seven niner points! Man, our defense crushed that putrid Niners offense. It reminded me of the Bears with Quinn in the lineup at starting QB.
Three points:
1) Brandon Lloyds "catch" hit the ground. The tip of the ball hitting the ground was clear as day in the side replay
2) The INT was not down by contact. The player needs possession of the ball to be down by contact. When Vasher was touched he was still juggling the ball. When he had true possession he wasn't touched! Doesn't matter if he crawls to the end zone after he picks it off this ain't college football!
3) Give me my 10 bucks too biatch! Don't make me put the curse of Jgar on you! It's going to a good cause: the Halo 2 fund!

Just in case you doubted the sports commentary powers of The Score, their recap of the Indy/KC game includes a comment that the beginning of the game resembled Tecmo Bowl.

As expected much of the news this morning about the loss written by Baltimore writers is of course bringing up the Ray Lewis imitation dance done by TO in the end zone... that shit still burns me up, but hey he scored.... Ray Lewis had some less than flattering things to say about it.... and though some of it was sour grapes.. that's how shit goes.... we won't see Philly again unless we win the AFC... and that's so much of a long shot right now it isn't even funny.... Hopefully with Heap, and Jamal returning that will give Boller some more options... he looked good at moments during the game, but his consistency overall still is just not there.. <sigh> Yesterday's loss hurt.
:lol @ the Jaguars...sore losers?
Texans' dirty tricks pull Jaguars down

HOUSTON--There was a play toward the end of the Jaguars' game today, a game the team will try to wipe clean from its memory banks, which epitomized the kind of afternoon it was. Houston's Chad Stanley was the benefactor of a fake punt, and as he ran, 300-pound defensive tackle John Henderson gave chase, but something stopped him from making the tackle.
It was the hand of Houston long snapper Bryan Pittman, which was wrapped around Henderson's throat, according to the Jaguars.
Yeah. That might slow someone down.
The officials did not see what basically amounted to, if true, Pittman attempting to choke Henderson, and when one of the Jaguars retaliated against Pittman after the play's conclusion by shoving him, Pittman fell back in an exaggerated manner, going to the ground as if he had been shot. The refs saw Pittman get pushed, and penalized the Jaguars for a personal foul.
The Jaguars were involved in a number of scuffles, including a massive shoving match at the end of the game on the Jaguars sidelines. They were penalized a season-high 11 times for 80 yards.
"This game was not one of our better moments," said tight end Kyle Brady.
Some half-dozen Jaguars players said in interviews that the Texans were utilizing some of the dirtiest tricks in the book. Questionable low blocking. Kicking in the groin (hate when that happens). Throwing punches when the official wasn't looking. And perhaps the most egregious foul of all, they said, was that Houston players at times put on some of the worst acting jobs since William Shatner played Captain Kirk. In other words, the Texans played like devils, and then when the refs awoke from their catnaps to see what a scuffle was about, the Houston players shrugged and made like angels. "Who," they would say innocently, "little old me?"
That's all true.
Here's the problem.
When the dirty stuff happens, no matter how egregious, a player really has only one choice.
"You have to walk away," said Stroud, "and we didn't do that. The stuff [the Texans] were doing was crazy. They would pull some questionable stuff, and we would get called for the penalty."
The Jaguars lost their cool.
Then they lost the game.
The reason why? The utter disgust the Jaguars felt at being unable to change their predicament. They could not shake loose the Texans, so the Jaguars let go of their inhibitions, going ballistic, and taking out their frustrations on Houston with shoves and jawing instead of first downs and defensive stops.
"I believe that if you are going to compete in these close games," said coach Jack Del Rio, "you have to understand that everything is not going to go your way You have to fight through the mental part of it and not allow yourself to get frustrated."
The Jaguars are one of the more emotional teams in football. They feed off of that passion; it is one of the biggest reasons why they have come back from so many deep deficits. Usually, they express their emotions the proper way, at the proper time. This time, they played with a kind of unchecked rage, which is required if you are an extra on the set of Braveheart, but not something a smart football player should do, and most of the time, the Jaguars play smart. Just not today.
"You won't see that again," said Stroud. "Ever."
:lol, Jacksonville complaining about cheapshots and dirty plays? I think they were watching the wrong team. But anyway, that's for another day.
I don't have a tape to be able to go back and see all these alleged "dirty plays" and "WWE-esque" choke holds, but I find it hard to believe that 8 officials missed all of these Texans players and their dirty play.
Go Texans! Let's go up to Mile High and beat the crap out of Denver.

^ Nice avatar. God I love TO!
By the way, can someone post Ray Lewis's comments on Owens's celebration? I can't find 'em anywhere.

Bristow said:thinks both of them are overrated.
I think a legitimate argument can be made for Javon Walker as the best receiver in the NFL, but at the same time the same argument can be made for TO.
Player Team Rec Yds Avg TDs Long
Javon Walker GB 46 783 17.0 7 79
Terrell Owens PHI 42 697 16.6 9 55
There lines are fairly even (with Javon being slightly higher), except when you take into account that the Packers have played 8 games, while the Eagles have only played 7. If TO played the same amount of games as Javon, he would have slightly better stats (but they would still be relatively similar).

No. No there can't. He's good, maybe in the upper tier...but until defenses make gameplans around him, it's Moss.
With Green Bay, defenses have to plan for Green. They need to stop the run first. Everyone knows the Vikings are gonna pass. Moss is the best in the game, hands down.
IMO:
1. Moss
2. Owens
3. Harrison
4. pick one of any 10 or so
Walker being top 5 is a big stretch. Not even remotely close to being the best though. Anyone can have nice stats....that doesn't make you the best at your position.

underrated doesn't equal best. ward can't really take over a game or put the fear of god into DB's. pittsburgh receivers benefit from one another. none of them are top 10 material, but both ward and plaxico are both top 20 at least. all imo, but i think you will agree as well

Hines is #8 and Burress is #30 right now
I don't know about that Hines not being able to take over a game stuff....

Hines not top 10 material,wtf?LMAO,c'mon FMT.Dude never drops a pass,seems to always find a way to get that extra yardage for a first down,easily the best blocking WR,IMO,among other things.He doesn't have the speed of Moss/Harrison,but that doesn't mean he can't take over a game.I'd also argue that he easily puts fear into DBs because he will absolutely knock your ass out after he makes a catch or while he's blocking,he's physical, the other "top" WR's will hardly put their bodies at risk like Hines will.
Plax benefits ALOT off Hines,I'll give you that,but in the past 2 years Hines has carried this offense,when Plax was havin rather off years.

I think the best receiver in the league is the one you have to double/tripple cover in order to keep him from scoring 4 tds on you. Look at how shitty our offense is without Moss. It's not because we're missing the numbers he's put up, because he hasn't even put up very big numbers this year. It's that defenses basically bend over backwards to keep him from destroying them. He makes eveyone else look good because they're basically playing 10 on 9 football.
You can't say that about anybody but TO and Randy.
