NFL 2010/11 SEAS0N (Page 5 of 6)

I'd Just like to thank Jay Cutler on behalf of Skins fans everywhere, we couldn't have done it without you. 

(Sorry, Bill.)

Yeah, Cutler was one of the main culprits, but honestly I blame Lovie Smith.
He throws the challenge flag when they get to the one yard line, on a play that wasn't really close to being a touchdown.
Then Cutler sneaks in, extends the ball over the goal line (clearly over the goal line when viewing the replays), gets it batted away and the Skins recover and dumba** Smith doesn't challenge! Even if you are not sure, you HAVE to throw the challenge flag there...an absolutely critical point in the game! If they score, its 21-10 and the Bears have the momentum. Instead, the Skins gain the "Mo" and win the game. Lots of other mistakes by the Bears, but the game turned on that play.
They can't fire Lovie fast enough as far as I'm concerned.

That was one of the stupidest non calls I have ever seen.  A Dolphin clearly recovers the ball in the end zone for a touchback  and first and 10 on their own 20.

Rocket,
I'm with you on the penalty and especially the suspension, because not playing is hitting them where it hurts more than the $$$.  Also, before Paterno's comment, my hubby and brother were discussing while watching an Eagles game that the modern helmet is part of the problem, being that it is used as a ram rod sometimes and the players are playing the game differently because of the helmet.  This is the line of the week in SI from Rodney Harrison. (retired NFL) "Guys are so lazy nowadays, they don't want to tackle. They just want the big kill shot." Yikes!!

If anything good comes from bad, it is that this topic is being revisited.  Also, not NFL but on the same weekend a Rutgers football was paralyzed bringing back to mind that Penn State player from NJ who miraculously walked again after a spinal cord injury, against a 3% odds of ever walking again. Anyone interested in this topic, pick up the current issue of Sports Illustrated...The Hits That Are Changing the Game...  November 1, 2010.

Anyone who has a child, grandchild or loved one playing football, seriously consider the information in this article.  Thumbs up to Boston University for their research.  http://www.nytimes.com/2010/09/14/sport … tball.html

I'm a little upset for DeSean Jackson, he is my favorite Eagle, who has now suffered his 2nd concussion in 11 months.  He is so fast, but really thin and small, very vulnerable . We live in the same town, my son ran into him at the food store in the produce section picking out oranges, which was cool!  DeSean has really matured since he was a rookie.  He ran 2 football camps this summer, 1 at my children's former school and the other in a really tough neighborhood where he is serving as a great role model.

Love the game, keep it clean, as realistically possible for a contact sport.

Tough break for Tony Romo. I see some shaking up going on...

Unfortunately Angela, this has been allowed in the game far too long. Remember this guy? "They call me Assassin".....watch for the head shot he puts on Earl Campbell at around the 2:15 mark and the hit he put on Sammy White of the Vikings at the 3:00 mark. Then remember, this was back in the 1970s.

It's been too long that this idea of "head hunting" has gone on. Improve the helmets? No, that will just make them more lethal. Maybe we should go back to a padded leather helmet with no face mask? Then we'll see how many helmet to helmet hits there are.

Chargers look like they only really play when the chips are down and their season is nigh on done. Go figure that they continue to own Manning and the Colts. The great QB is hapless with no running game and an O line that barely gives him time to release the ball.  We'll take it. The sagging Raiders next and the Chiefs in sight. Maybe they'll make the playoffs after all.

Sagging Raiders?????? Rick didn't you know......the autumn wind is a Raider!!!!! Felt bad for our "homeboy" Norvell.

OK, ask me how many times I watched the replay Eagles/Giants last 14 seconds of the game last night???  My football weekend started out really bad on the college level when my Wildcats were stomped out on a red field Friday night by Washington after beating the #1 seed in an amazing game the week before. (I'd never seen a red field before, its disturbing to the eyes)

But overall, it was a GREAT week for any Philadelphia sports fans, always in the shadow of New York.  Cliff Lee choses the Phillies over the Yankees, the Flyers beat the Islanders 4-1 and the Eagles pull off a nearly impossible 4th quarter win over the Giants on their turf! 

I FEEL Good!!  And I'm happy to go to work today and face my 2 Giant co-workers!
