Scott Hanson: “John Beck is warming up on the sideline”.

Matt_Bowyer · 2011-10-16T12:27:44.000Z

John Beck is in!

Yeah, they’re going to win, but what a shitty second half by the Packers. Rams can move the ball and are just incapable of scoring.

Great INT by Webster to fend off a Bills scoring opportunity.

This has been a pretty entertaining game. The Manningham TD they called back that would have made it 31-17 was clearly the defining play of the game so far.

They seriously are calling off that Burleson TD? Both feet down in bounds, ball controlled, and then out of bounds. The NFL still can’t get that fucking right.

Edit: at least they reversed it. I don’t think it should matter what happens once you leave the playing field.

The defense is really bad, as crazy as that sounds when they’ve only given up three points.

I have to say, it’s insane how Rodgers is actually better than his stat line. That INT he threw was an on-target pass to Jennings that just bounced off his hands; some of his incompletions are the same thing. And it’s not like his stats are bad, either, which is what makes it crazy.

Jesus fucking Christ, another “process of the catch” touchdown dispute against the Lions. Dumbest. Fucking. Rule. Ever.

AndrewMyers · 2011-10-16T12:55:40.000Z

Wow, they actually got it right on review this time!

Sarkus · 2011-10-16T12:56:42.000Z

Apparently Talisker is on a 2 minute delay! ;-)

This game is fucking bullshit. Florence just got flagged for interference for doing exactly what Webster did on his first INT.

sluggo · 2011-10-16T13:02:31.000Z

I didn’t see Webster’s first INT, so I can’t comment on that.

But I’ll admit, I have no idea what constitutes pass interference any more. There’s contact all the time, sometimes they call it, sometimes they don’t. It almost seems random at times.

sinfony · 2011-10-16T13:10:26.000Z

He put an elbow into the receiver’s chest and shoved him away, then turned around and caught the ball.

Brandon_Clements · 2011-10-16T13:22:01.000Z

Can someone work up a Romo interception facepalm gif?

Thongsy · 2011-10-16T13:24:45.000Z

Alex Smith comes through on 4th down. Let’s see if the D can stop the Lions now. Nooooo. Review of the play.

sluggo · 2011-10-16T13:35:09.000Z

This Lions game will end with Megatron catching a Hail Mary for a 26-25 win.

Omniscia · 2011-10-16T13:39:35.000Z

Damn it, McCourty!

sluggo · 2011-10-16T13:40:25.000Z

Stafford looks like a guy who’s never run a 2 minute drill before. 56 seconds to run 3 plays? Eeesh.

Brandon_Clements · 2011-10-16T13:43:16.000Z

Did Harbaugh and Schwartz almost get into a fight?

Omniscia · 2011-10-16T13:44:07.000Z

Wow, the Pats have turned it over twice so far, and it’s only the first quarter.

Fortunately, Dallas can’t do anything right on offense, either.

Thongsy · 2011-10-16T13:45:52.000Z

Stafford looked real bad there on the last couple of series. Sorry for the loss, Talisker.

With the exception of all of those false starts, the Niners O-line did much better than I expected. They contained that beastly D-line of the Lions and controlled the running game. Crabtree looked great, like he’s finally putting it all together. With the bye week coming up and Edwards expected back I’m looking forward to what the Niners will do the rest of the season.
