The Lions find a new way to lose. They get a 27-yard punt with 40 seconds to go to give the Bengals the ball to midfield. Two passes later Nugent kicks a 54-year field goal and the Lions do what they do best and lose.

I shouldn't feel too bummed about losing to a legitimate team, but the Lions blew a huge opportunity today to take sole possession of first place in the North. All three phases seemed to fall apart when it mattered most.

I know most people don't like Harbaugh but I do, and kudos...when that fight broke out he was the first one to run in there  Well G Men gotta win tomorrow...if they can't top the Vikings might as well aim for 1-15 and take this Clowney guy from SC :( Wow, 6 run TDs in the CHI/WAS game that is kind of awesome. Hoping tonight will be a great game, with all the hype and drama imagine if it's a snoozer

If Stafford could've hit the wide open receivers in the first half Detroit would've had the game wrapped up by halftime. Your city is a constant disappointment to me. They have the gallows up for that idiot SS that booted the easy double play ball, last night, yet, btw?

That was a game that I saw going either way. Two high-variable teams who were built almost exactly the same is almost a toss-up. Both QBs had passes that were either under- or overthrown, and a few in either direction would have decided the outcome much sooner. Not to mention two field goals that didn't happen.
I about had a heart attack at several points in that game, but I'm glad we came out on the right side of it for once. It's almost starting to give me some hope. Or heart failure. They're fairly similar to Bungles fans.
And that was way too many injuries for any game. I'm never a big fan of anyone getting hurt in a game, but seeing our defense and Detroit's O-line drop like flies made me sick to my stomach.

You're telling me. Seeing them lose the end of that game because of a guy on ST run into one of his teammates and take a penalty on a new rule gave me feeling in my chest and made today that much better.
Not to mention the Browns and Ravens losing. I think that's the first time in my life I've ever rooted for the Steelers. Part of me felt unclean doing it. But being up 2 games now was worth it.

Baseball can stay in it's own thread, thanks... Stafford is actually having his best year thus far, from what I can see, but he does have Calvin-itis. It's a disease where he's gotten so used to lobbing it into the general area of Calvin Johnson, he can't do much else. Wow. I was wondering when Denver's porous defense would finally bite them, looks to be now. Luck and Indy has just been methodical and unstoppable. Best way to hold Peyton is to keep him off the field. But also Indy has played some great man coverage. Has anyone else found Denver ridiculously conservative? Like even down big near the end of the third...they're still running often and throwing screens. Maybe it's been due to the defense, but Peyton has been very conservative, until I started typing this and he's now opened up

Yeah, it's weird...I wanna feel bad for New England because it's the type of call that makes us all think "really!?" buuuuuut....the tuck rule. Plus their history of glorious luck and NFL preference, maybe I'm just an a****le (ok I am) but I find it hard to feel for the Pats.
Wow, yeah credit to Indy. I have no idea who 90% of these players are, but they really are keeping a lid on Denver.
And the pressure! Until this game Peyton has been able to bake a pizza in the pocket, not seen this much pressure and that last play pressure led directly to a pick. Color me impressed with this Indy D
Edit: Wow! Hillman and Vickerson deserve benches for this one. Really hate to boil it down to 2 plays, but that fumble and that stupid ass penalty pretty much cost this game. It's amazing they still had a chance late but Indy did deserve this one, what an effort.

No idea why they would try and run with Hillman in that situation. And Vickerson was f**king up through the whole game. Terrible job by the Broncos but also pretty excellent job by Indy.

Also, it is being reported that Bradford has a torn acl. As much as I admire the rams sticking with it I think it's time they draft a qb high in this upcoming, supposedly qb rich draft.

I mean, I guess if it worked then we wouldn't have given it a thought, of course, but yeah with the game on the line and you have Peyton they choose to run it? Let's say he didn't fumble, what if they stop him? That'd also keep the clock moving. Just don't get it.
Bradford: credit where it's due, he was having a pretty solid year.
I guess it feels underwhelming as a #1 pick but yeah, quite a shame there

About the call: The Pats ran the same play against the Saints last week. It's a new rule. Most likely the Jets saw it on film and told the refs that the Pats were purposely trying to circumvent the rule change. (Que MoM yelling Cheatriots or Bill Bellicheat or something)

Pure guess there Pat, but it actually does make sense.
I didn't question the call itself, it is the rule after all, just wondered why would they first enforce it in an overtime game and I chucked it up to "well it's about time they didn't get the graces of the NFL gods" or "tuck rule karma" but if they did run that same play against the Saints (IDK guess I'll take your word for it) it's quite possible someone noticed it...
If so, the Pats can only blame themselves then for trying to run it again. Bill's running on the fine line of the rules (when he's not breaking them) has to get him eventually. He now says "Oh I was wrong after all, I misinterpreted the rule" yeah, sure thing Billy. 
Really though, the Jets D played a great game and Brady has proven yet again he's not too good under pressure IMO. Pretty poor game from him even with Gronk back

He certainly played a lousy second half. I don't know that I'd consider giving up 27 points a "great" defensive effort, but overall the Jets outplayed the Pats. Hard to be lucky two weeks in a row.

Your extra rooting was the karma needed for us to get that 2nd win, thanks! 
We will probably lose to Oakland next week as they always seem to find a way to beat the Steelers, even during a good year...

Let me re phrase, great effort against Brady. Especially with the pressure, I reckon he's the 2nd toughest to get to next to Peyton...
Eh, what can ya say with 0-6? I can't really feel much of anything. If the Giants win tonight 49-0 meh, it's the Vikings and they'll be 4-12 anyway. If anything they dont wanna win TOOO many games...don't want to miss that chance to get clowney Of course I'd like them save a tiny bit of their balls and scrap a few wins out. I'm confident...NY has been pretty darn good against the run, MIN is just awful and we are playing better. That said, Eli may go 0-30 with 7 pick sixes and we fumble 8 times, honestly nothing can be a surprise anymore!
Unrelated, awful news about Reggie Wayne. Year is done, tragic for the Colts and really feel bad for the guy, solid, workman life WR.

It would have been better to run it with "Knosho"...sure a fumble can happen whenever but Hillman doesn't seem good at holding onto the ball. A bad coaching decision more than a bad play call IMO.
Of course, I wold have just thrown it to either one of the Thomases but then again I'm biased like that.
