2010 Week 8 Other Games Thread

I'm not sold, they're beating mediocre teams.

 

Hard to tell. All of their wins are against teams from the AFC West and NFC West, the two worst divisions in football. If they beat Pittsburgh, Miami, or Indianapolis that will show more, but I picked them to win between 7 and 9 games because of their easy schedule, so none of this is any big surprise to me. It's also good for the Jets, since the Pats apparently won't be getting a very high draft choice, which I'm sure they were expecting when they made the trade.

 

Stupid challenge.......

 

Wow I completely forgot the sunday nighter, I think New Orleans pulls this one through.

 

Michaels is wrong. That penalty did take them out of FG range, because they were at the PIT 31. That's a 49 yarder, not a 54 yarder as Michaels claimed.

Jones grabbed Polamalu's jersey after Polamalu hit him after the pass was falling incomplete.

 

roofiesburger hits randle el and they call it a TD, but he didn't get in

Payton is challenging.

 

What is it with coordinators continuing to not put a spy on roethlisberger? Everytime he steps up its either an 8+ yard run or a 15 yard pass play.

 

call was overturned, as expected

huge goal line stand makes it 4th and goal

 

Gettin jiggy with it taking down Ben, takes a guy that big for him to go down that fast eh?

 

Pushoff? Thats a horrible call, but im rooting against Pitt anyway so I dont care. Awful call though.

 

he did push off a little bit. He extended his arm on the DB. Borderline.

 

Just didnt seem like it effected the DB much it was light, refs should be able to use common sense.

 

Wow thats some gutsy playcalling by the Saints, had Tomlin shitting bricks.

 

3-3 going into the half

 

Will Smith nearly slugged a ref in the gut when he was doing his emphatic fist swing after they stuffed a Steelers run.

steelers fumbled on the kickoff after a saints fg, but it was recovered by another steeler, a player who had gotten injured in the first quarter (Isaac Redman).

 

Brees to Colston for a TD, and it took until the fourth quarter for a touchdown to be scored.

13-3

 

38 yard TD for Mendenhall

Steelers score in 2:07. It took a long time for the first TD, but the second follows quickly on its heels.

13-10

 

Blatant interference by Taylor there

 

corner blitz catches Brees unawares, and McFadden gets the sack-strip

Saints were in FG range, too.

Steelers take over.

 

Heath Miller coughs it up after a big gain!!!!!

Saints get it back.

two quick TDs followed by two quick lost fumbles.
