That stupid NFL rule about avoiding the high hit just might have ended Gronkowski's career right there. That was ugly.

 

[ChrisPozz]

Gronkowski just took a vicious shot down low and I think he may have did or almost did some kind of flip on the way down. Hurt his knee it appears.

 

[DoobieKeebler]

I've seen Jason Campbell playing QB for Cleveland... is Weeden hurt, or are they just sick and tired of him?

Not sure about the career being over, but the nfl rule is definitely contributing to situations like this.

How many season enders can a guy come back from? This might be it.

 

[BINGO]

Bengals defense just gave up a terrible TD to Brazil. Pathetic effort by the Bengals entire defense.

Damn, I should have used Cleveland instead of Cincy.

He broke 6 tackle attempts on that play. 6 WEAK tackle attempts.

Weeden is out with a concussion.

 

[BINGO]

Hartline just made a heck of a catch in the redzone for a TD. 24-21 Dolphins lead. He demonstrated tremendous agility, balance, and concentration. An overall pretty looking catch.

 

[ChrisPozz]

Roddy White has 7 catches vs. GB today but is only averaging just under 8 yards per catch (53 yards). He's Atlanta's leading receiver, though.

 

[BINGO]

Lions v Eagles are tied. 14 up

 

[ChrisPozz]

Steven Jackson converted a 3rd and 1 from the GB 34. 2-yard run down to the GB 32. Big conversion.

Lions v Eagles are tied. 14 up

There has not been a single FG or extra point kick attempt in this game so far. If that holds up, I wonder when the last time that happened was?

 

[BINGO]

I spoke too soon. Jeremy Ross did it again on special teams. Lions regains the lead.

 

[DoobieKeebler]

Refs bailed out Philly's failed 2 point conversion by calling a phantom defensive holding call on Suh. Philly takes advantage of their 2nd try and tie the game with a conversion on a Bryce Brown run.

Lions ain't havin it, though, and Ross follows it up with a NICE 98 yard kick return for a TD.

 

[ChrisPozz]

Matt Bryant just missed a 52-yarder (short). ATL still down 1 with 6:42 to go in the game.

 

[DoobieKeebler]

Aaaaand NE finally gets on the board with a FG. 12-3 Browns.

I don't think I've ever seen a more pathetic display of tacking then this Redskins team has shown. They have been absolutely terrible, I bet people will try to blame RG3 but this one is all on the defense and special teams.
