Flag on this Beckhem return, but watch the replay. He's absolutely insane.

 

[Ed Hillel]

Detroit is seriously punting?

 

[DanoooME]

Detroit is seriously punting?

Yeah, how do you punt down 2 scores with 5 minutes to go??

 

[mauf]

How do you possibly think you're going to get away with that block in the back??

 

[BigSoxFan]

How do you possibly think you're going to get away with that block in the back??

The Giants have gotten away with much more...

 

[johnmd20]

It was egregious, outrageous, preposterous.

 

[Jnai]

Yeah, how do you punt down 2 scores with 5 minutes to go??

Have you seen this Lions team? Lions voodoo magic doesn't engage until the game is essentially over.

 

[johnmd20]

One thing you really have to watch out for against the Giants is their running backs. I think they can be best described as quicksand running style.

 

[mauf]

Chiefs got screwed on the quick whistle there.

 

[mauf]

Very friendly spot for BAL on that 4th down play. But I don't think PHI gets the 1st even with a correct spot.

 

[DanoooME]

Nelson Agholor finding new ways to suck

 

[johnmd20]

Lions starting to work the magic.

 

[shawnrbu]

Bengals imploding.

 

[BigSoxFan]

Giants defense really is insane right now

 

[johnmd20]

Lions starting to work the magic.

Or not. INT. Giants win a big one.

 

[E5 Yaz]

Ed Werder @Edwerderespn
Tom Savage - the QB Bill O'Brien drafted - sure looks more decisive, accurate than Brock Osweiler -the QB O'Brien didn't meet before signing

 

[Ed Hillel]

Lions starting to work the magic.

Over, along with the Stafford MVP talk.

 

[DanoooME]

Lions starting to work the magic.

The thrill is gone

 

[Al Zarilla]

Goodnight Irene to Detroit.

 

[BigSoxFan]

LOL Flacco

 

[Al Zarilla]

Pack can't put the Bears away. 3 point game

 

[Ed Hillel]

How is "reach the line of scrimmage" count for grounding rules on throws out of bounds? Is it where it goes out or where it lands?

 

[DanoooME]

Cincinnati is just falling apart.

 

[PayrodsFirstClutchHit]

Nice drive by the refs in Cincy

 

[Cellar-Door]

4 straight penalties against Bengals each for a first down.

 

[johnmd20]

Bengals are getting flagged every play. I'm not complaining, they are warranted, but that team, man.

 

[Dollar]

Bengals defense imploding. Penalties on four straight plays.

 

[Ralphwiggum]

Bengals gonna Bengal.

 

[Ed Hillel]

Will the Chiefs franchise Berry?

 

[Cellar-Door]

Bengals are getting flagged every play. I'm not complaining, they are warranted, but that team, man.

The offsides looked like a false start, and the PF was a bit soft, but this is a bad, undisciplined team so no benefit of the doubt.

 

[Ed Hillel]

Fucking Jordan Matthews drops a TD for the Titans.

 

[Kliq]

Cincy's defense imploding with penalties was so predictable, it's amazing there are any Bengal fans left. The cumulative IQ of that entire organization must be in the double digits.

 

[Brand Name]

How is "reach the line of scrimmage" count for grounding rules on throws out of bounds? Is it where it goes out or where it lands?

Rule 8, Section 2, Item 1:

Passer or Ball Outside Tackle Position. Intentional grounding will not be called when a passer, who is outside, or has been outside, the tackle position, throws a forward pass that lands at or beyond the line of scrimmage, even if no offensive player(s) have a realistic chance to catch the ball (including when the ball lands out of bounds over the sideline or endline). If the ball crosses the line of scrimmage (extended) beyond the sideline, there is no intentional grounding. If a loose ball leaves the area bordered by the tackles, this area no longer exists; if the ball is recovered, all intentional grounding rules apply as if the passer is outside this area.

 

[DanoooME]

And...bedshitting complete in Cincy

 

[Average Reds]

As much as I dislike the Steelers, I am enjoying (have enjoyed?) the comeback against the Bengals.

 

[Ed Hillel]

Wow, Titans going for 2!

 

[Jnai]

Wat

 

[johnmd20]

Tennessee going for 2, down 16 to 17, with 3 minutes left.

 

[Al Zarilla]

KC not looking so scary right now.

TN going for 2

 

[DanoooME]

Is Mularkey insane? Going for two here? A FG beats you either way.

 

[Jnai]

Wat

 

[BigSoxFan]

WTF is Tenn doing?

 

[Ed Hillel]

LOL Titans

 

[johnmd20]

Awful play by TN there.

 

[mostman]

That was stupid TN.

 

[Jnai]

Why kick into the end zone there?

 

[Reggie's Racquet]

TN going for two was stupid. Going for two with no timeouts left was worse than stupid.

 

[Dr. Gonzo]

Gregg Gumbel agrees with Mularkey. Now you know Mularkey is a moron

 

[mauf]

What was the point of Tomlin calling the 2PC there? I'd take the point to go up 5 -- if you give up a TD, you can still win with a FG. The 2PC only helps in the unlikely event of a missed XP, or Cindy somehow assembling two FG drives.

 

[Al Zarilla]

Mikey liked it, I mean Gumbel just said he liked TN's decision to go for two. Too early. Dumb.
