Non-49er games Sun. 11/18/'12

Manning to Demaryius in side of the endzone but it was ruled incomplete. Denver challenging. Looked very close and probably going to be one of those calls that whatever it was ruled at first will probably stay as called initially.

 

[ChrisPozz]

Wow. They did rule that Thomas catch a TD after all. And it's very clear that it was a TD on the review. My bad.

 

[ChrisPozz]

Andre Johnson's day puts him in 9th place for most receiving yards in a game. He had 1 more yard than Charley Hennigan back in 1961 and was 10 yards shy of tying Terrell Owens for the 8th spot.

 

[ChrisPozz]

And I must admit another thing. I was unaware that Jerry Rice, John Taylor, and Terrell Owens are all in a row right now - 6th, 7th and 8th - on that game receiving list and all very close.

6th - Jerry Rice - 289
7th - John Taylor - 286
8th - Terrell Owens - 283

 

[ChrisPozz]

Andre Johnson overtakes Lee Evans for the highest total among all active players as well. Lee Evans had 265 back in 2006. If I remember correctly, I think Lee Evans had 200 something by halftime of that game.

 

[ChrisPozz]

In his 1st game with the team, Aqib Talib just picked off an overthrow by Luck and returned it for a TD. Ridiculous.

 

[NinerSickness]

Who would've thought before the season Indy & New England would've been a huge game?

 

[ChrisPozz]

And the overthrow by Luck was to who else? Reggie Wayne.

 

[Dodub]

In his 1st game with the team, Aqib Talib just picked off an overthrow by Luck and returned it for a TD. Ridiculous.

I always liked Talib as a player but he's a freaking knucklehead. Sometimes I'm proud to call him a Jayhawk and others I'm not.

I always liked Talib as a player but he's a freaking knucklehead. Sometimes I'm proud to call him a Jayhawk and others I'm not.

He's one of the least intelligent players off the field that I've ever looked at closely. It's as close to impossible for me to root for him. Well, now that he's a Patriot, it IS impossible for me to root for him.

Matt Schaub throws 5 TDs in Houston Texans' win - NFL.com

 

[ChrisPozz]

Numbers Never Lie:

509. Andre Johnson (273) and Justin Blackmon (236) combined for 509 yds receiving, the most by two players in the same game in NFL history.

No two players on opposite teams had ever both had over 200 in a game either.

 

[ChrisPozz]

I am so glad that Danario Alexander wasn't a good fit in STL anymore. So relieved, too.

 

[ChrisPozz]

Schaub had a string of 16 straight completions in the 2nd half of that game as well.

 

[ChrisPozz]

Dez Bryant had 12 catches for a career-high 145 rec yards and a TD today.

 

[ChrisPozz]

I'm seeing people say that 3 of Ryan's 5 INTs today came on tipped balls. I wonder how many should have actually been caught, though?

 

[ChrisPozz]

Vinatieri missed a 58-yard FG wide left by maybe a yard. Plenty of distance. Would've been a career long.

People making Ryanxuses now :p

 

[NinerSickness]

The CBS announcer just said TY Hilton is the only rookie WR with a 100 yard receiving game.

The Jags / Houston game has been over for a while, and they still got that wrong.

 

[ChrisPozz]

So stupid when a defender picks off a deep pass on 4th down instead of batting it down. I know people always argue that by picking it off you get the chance to return the pass and have a shot at gaining even better field position than if you bat it down, but I'd be surprised if the percentages favor that argument.
