Other NFL Game Threads: 9/22/13

[ChrisPozz]

Daryl Smith 36-yard INT returned for TD for the Ravens. 10-7 Texans still ahead.

Cincy still shooting themselves in the foot. Defensive holding inside the redzone. 1st and goal from the 5 for the Packers. On the next play Rodgers forced to throw it away after some late pressure. 2nd and goal upcoming. Packers can take the lead here despite only having the ball for around 8 minutes midway through the 2nd.

I've got a problem with that call. It was clearly holding, but Jones ran right into Pacman well down the field and pushed him. Pacman had to hold or Jones would have been wide open due to the obvious push-off. If anything, they should have called both and offset.

 

[ChrisPozz]

Jimmy Graham vs. Yeremiah Bell split out wide to the left. Brees just lays it up for Graham and he easily comes down with it for the TD. WAY too easy for those guys. Saints go up 14-7 over Cardinals.

So much for the Cardinals offense looking great or whatever was said earlier. They've stalled on 3 straight drives now and only have 127 yards just before halftime.

 

[ChrisPozz]

Jermichael Finley took a nasty, nasty shot to his head on a reception attempt down the middle. He got up and couldn't walk straight, started running off the field, and then quickly fell to the ground again and stayed down for a little bit. Certainly going to be evaluated for a concussion and I don't know if he'll return after that one.

He's now officially done for the day with a concussion.

 

[ChrisPozz]

Brady had all day to throw and he found Thompkins in the end zone for a short TD. 2nd one of the day for Thompkins.

 

[ChrisPozz]

Tandon Doss with an 81 yard punt return for a TD. Some nice moves but way too easy still if you're the Texans. Ray Lewis is on the sidelines for the day today and congratulated Doss. Doss was VERY close to stepping out of bounds down the sideline.

 

[ChrisPozz]

Rodgers sacked again inside the redzone. I think that's the 3rd or 4th sack of the half for Cincy.

 

[Crimsoncrew]

I mean, icing the kicker on like a 23-yard FG? Come on.

 

[ChrisPozz]

Packers forced to settle for a FG before halftime after their drive stalled. GB about to be up 16-14 at halftime if the kick is good. Ridiculous that Cincy isn't ahead at halftime.

 

[ChrisPozz]

I shed a tear everytime DeAndre Hopkins catches a ball.

 

[ChrisPozz]

Vikings were down 24-17 with just a couple seconds to go before halftime and they were just inside the redzone. Ponder hit from behind as he started to throw and they rule it a fumble. Browns ball. Jabaal Sheard with the hit - one more guy that should be a 49er.

 

[ChrisPozz]

Aaron Rodgers - 7/14 for 64 yards - 0 TDs, 0 INTs.
Andy Dalton - 7/12 for 67 yards - 0 TDs, 1 INT.

----------

Brandon LaFell with a short TD. Carolina about to go up 17-0 on the Giants with a few seconds left before halftime.

 

[ChrisPozz]

Cowboys eating the Rams alive on the ground and through the air. Cowboys now ahead 24-0. I was hoping the Rams would be absolutely spent after this game with a short week upcoming for them vs. SF on Thursday night.

Murray already with 19 for 146 and a TD and 3 catches for 28 yards.

And now the Cowboys recover after a Rams receiver was stripped after an intermediate reception over the middle.

Dallas just muffed a punt and St. Louis recovered.

Sanu with very nice YAC after the catch for the Bengals and they are in FG range already. GB 25.

What I would do to have Sanu in our offense.

 

[ChrisPozz]

Brees has 15 completions to EIGHT different receivers again. Only 2 players with 3+ catches (Graham and Thomas).

 

[ChrisPozz]

Giants have 18 total yards at halftime. 1 passing yard (after sacks) and 17 rushing yards. David Wilson has 6 rushes for MINUS 2 yards.

Dan Bailey just missed a 35-yard FG. Still up 24-0.

 

[ChrisPozz]

James Starks questionable to return with a knee injury. Jonathan Franklin now the guy at RB.

 

[ChrisPozz]

Reggie Nelson flagged for leading with his helmet into Rodgers after a 3rd and 10 incompletion. That's a questionable call after seeing it slowed down. BIG call as it takes GB into FG position at least.
