spoken like a guy who roots for Tony Romo.
OK, this is one of those faulty, possibly apocryphal memories of mine, but I’m pretty sure this happened in a game I watched.
It was the Houston Oilers against somebody on Monday night, and one receiver on one team or another laid out and made an absolutely awesome catch, and then slid head first on the turf another five yards. In his exuberance to show he had the ball, he turned over onto his back and thrust it up into the air. And a guy from the other team came by and literally yoinked it from his hands without touching him, and ran the other way with it. The kid who caught it had been laying there for a couple of seconds, and he pretty clearly “had given himself up.” But that’s not a real thing unless you lay there until an official pats you on the back and asks for the ball, or you get up and hand it to him.
October 3rd, 2011 at 8:49 AM

Cruz wasn’t even giving himself up. He was trying to make a move and slipped and fell forward.
October 3rd, 2011 at 8:54 AM
the rule is a judgment call on the official. he is down when the refs says he is down. it really could have been ruled either way in both that situation and the Victor Cruz. Even Eli says he thinks they got away with one. Cruz thought he has been touched. but based on the actual rule? if the ref says he is down, he’s down.

funniest episode of cops is when they went to a domestic disturbance call, and walking right by them is a really drunk guy with an open container. he thought it was a good idea to walk from his neighbors house back to his house, which was literally 5 steps away from there the cops stopped him. poor bastard, you could tell that if the cameras weren’t there he would have been sent home instead of arrested.

if the ref says he is down, he’s down.
I believe the ref also thought he was touched, and then backpedaled like a mf-er, hiding behind the rulebook, so there wouldn’t be a review.

October 3rd, 2011 at 9:00 AM
Cruz was getting up to run back to the line for the hurry up offense.
October 3rd, 2011 at 9:02 AM
The two teams are a combined 7-1. Only loss at Alabama. It’s not like they lost to Kansas and Ole Miss.
October 3rd, 2011 at 9:02 AM
The defense could attempt to slow down a hurry up offense by not touching the offensive player who has given himself up. Or they could stand around him and have him attempt to get up with multiple defenders around him trying to strip the ball.
October 3rd, 2011 at 9:02 AM

I get so sick of that guy apologizing for terrible interceptions. He said he wished he could have the third one back, to throw it again, but further. Fuck you. It was 1st and 10, and you were still winning. Slide for a yard (or a sack), and try again while the clock is running. You don’t have the 15 yard, against the grain, late across the middle to the opposite seam throw in your repertoire. Quit apologizing for fucking up, and stop fucking the fuck up, you fucking fuck.

There is that. The yelling and whatnot, but if nothing is happening, and there were long stretches of nothing happening yesterday, it is like he is calling a different game. All the stories of him being completely unprepared for college hoops games seemed to be in play yesterday. It is almost like he was pissed off he didn’t get to scream. But when he got the chance, he let loose. Nobody, and I mean noboday, can holler like he can when the receiver catches the ball out of bounds.

October 3rd, 2011 at 9:07 AM
only if they get peyton back in time for it. don’t see how they can put Colts/Pats on in prime time if the Colts have a terrible record and no redeeming qualities on the playing field.
October 3rd, 2011 at 9:08 AM
The defense could attempt to slow down a hurry up offense by not touching the offensive player who has given himself up. Or they could stand around him and have him attempt to get up with multiple defenders around him trying to strip the ball.
there was like 3 minutes left in a 3 point game. I thought it was a blown call, because I’ve seen it go the other way a lot of times, and get defended like crazy. And he wasn’t even down there for a whole second, and he thought he was touched.
October 3rd, 2011 at 9:08 AM

trade him to a northern city and the problem’s fixed.
October 3rd, 2011 at 9:10 AM
Eli wasn’t rushing them to the line. He was putting his hands on his head because he thought Cruz just gave the game away.
October 3rd, 2011 at 9:11 AM
When does the Sanchez post go up?
Flacco was worse than him on the night, and he had the excuse of having nearly no time to throw, at all, ever. I love bagging on Sanchez as much as the next guy, but that double A gap blitz on a lousy center settled matters early and often. The best part was when they brought in Ducasse, and realized the awful center was a better bet.
And also, Ngata nearly killed him on that one “fumble” that very obviously was an incomplete pass.
October 3rd, 2011 at 9:11 AM
Dude. I was watching it and shielding my eyes because it totally freaked me out! When they were watching him climb and the guy made the comment about his feet being wet I was ready to pass out.
October 3rd, 2011 at 9:11 AM

The center couldn’t get it to TBL in time.
October 3rd, 2011 at 9:14 AM
To repeat something I said on Twitter last night.
As much as I love watching the Jets get dismantled, I couldn’t help but think about how different the game against the Pats will be because the Pats won’t be able to get pressure on El Chupacabra like Balt did.
October 3rd, 2011 at 9:14 AM
sounds like it is already happening. I’m not sure how I feel about that game, I guess Auburn winning makes this weekends game against the Hogs a big one though, so that’s cool.
October 3rd, 2011 at 9:14 AM

I had to skip the middle games, because I was so devastated after that dallas gag job. I had the red zone on, but wasn’t paying attention till the end of the 4pm games.

But you couldn’t convince Peter King and the like that signing Ronnie Brown and Vince Young didn’t mean shit.
October 3rd, 2011 at 9:15 AM
If his arm went forward due to the hit and not his intention to throw, does it still count as an incomplete pass?
Serious question.
October 3rd, 2011 at 9:15 AM
Why can’t anyone hold a fucking lead anymore? I lost $ on the following games this weekend:
GTech (-10) at NCState – gives up 21 points in the 4th quarter, including 14 in the last :40 because they refused to just fucking kneel on the ball to backpedal into a PUSH
Buffalo (-3) – blows a 14 point 2nd half lead
Philadelphia (-9.5 and in a parlay just to win) – blows a 23-3 lead thanks to Ronnie Brown being a complete imbecile and 2 missed FGs
Atlanta (-5.5) – blows a 27-7 lead in the 2nd half to kill the cover.
October 3rd, 2011 at 9:15 AM
I agree with this. I want to know when spencer’s Flacco-unibrow-suckfest bandwagon is stopping by my town so I can hop on. He was downright horrible last night. I feel like the guy in Major League but he throws the ball too high.

And Mark Richt is the bad coach. Has anyone ever compared records for the rest of the season after South Carolina beats Georgia every year?
October 3rd, 2011 at 9:17 AM
it will certainly be interesting. for as many yard as they gave up in Oakland the did show some improvement. game easily could have been another shoot out.
October 3rd, 2011 at 9:17 AM
Losing Mayo SUCKS. And whoever that #31 safety is, suckkkkks.
October 3rd, 2011 at 9:17 AM
If his arm went forward due to the hit and not his intention to throw, does it still count as an incomplete pass?
the ruling was “empty hand,” meaning that the ball was gone when he did the throwing motion, BUT (and this is a big but) if that were the case, how did the ball go forward, when he was hit from the other direction?
If his arm goes forward due to the hit, and it isn’t his intention to throw, the guy has to be hitting him from the back to make his arm go forward, not just from the backside.

October 3rd, 2011 at 9:19 AM
Garcia is almost bad enough to start for the Jets or Ravens.
It’s amazing how important centers are in the grand scheme of things as last night proved. I wonder how McNabb would fare if the Vikings actually had a center. And by “fare” I mean how many more receivers he’d miss by 15 feet.
October 3rd, 2011 at 9:20 AM
I thought it was a very close call, one of those where that whatever the call on the field was would be what the refs would stick with.
October 3rd, 2011 at 9:20 AM
Was it the Coaches’ Poll or AP?
October 3rd, 2011 at 9:21 AM

I disagree. He’s the best there is right now.
Sometimes when you run your yap (and intend on double teaming a guy all day) you end up sounding silly. But Ryan’s defense in Dallas has been really good all year. They’ve got bad Oline problems, and bad QBing, and dumb playcalling.
The secondary problems are not even their tertiary problem as a football team.
October 3rd, 2011 at 9:23 AM
Who is better?
October 3rd, 2011 at 9:23 AM
I think Ryan said that the practice squad had better receivers than Megatron. Ha! Oh, and thank you Raven’s D!

They actually did a pretty good job scheming Calvin (what a terrible name btw). I think the o-line did a pretty good job (where was Suh?), I think the O-line is actually getting better. Romo is in that Grossman mode now. We don’t know from week to week if we are getting Good Tony or Bad Tony. I think part of the reason he forces it is because he only really trusts one guy, Witten. When Miles comes back he will have 2 guys that every time he goes back to pass he knows exactly where they will be. /anti-Dirt perspective

And the Ravens are doing it without their 2 best Corners Jimmy Smith and Chris Carr. Had some guy out there last night nobody has ever heard of which is why they blitzed their DB’s so much.
October 3rd, 2011 at 9:41 AM
funny… i was reading that piece this morning and thinking how regurgitated it was. of course, Wise might actually know that if he was from the region.
He knows it because he does it every year. This would probably be going over better if he wasn’t so smug about it and if the Skins were losing.
Oh and I hate it when fans who are defending the name act like if you are not from the area, then you can’t besmirch the name.

The Lions are going to destroy the Bears. Not sure where Forte is going to run next week with dirty Fairley coming back.

I know you’re saying that to be an asshole to SC but everyone knows the Bears aren’t the worst team in the division. In other words, get pegged.

To the outside. Lions should be at least 4.5 point favorites though. Just like the Atlanta and Carolina games, Chicago will need a special teams or a defensive score in order to win.

Let’s see the Packers hold a team to less than 250 passing yards first before making such claims
October 3rd, 2011 at 9:47 AM
The whole team is playing like shit, with the exception of Where’s Wallace String? I hope Mendenhall is out for a couple of games so I can see my boy Isaac Redman get the majority of the snaps. He actually hits the hole, unlike the bugged eyed truther.
October 3rd, 2011 at 9:47 AM

True. But if they weren’t playing teams that are incompetent at knowing how to play with a lead, they’re 2-2.

/anti-Dirt perspective
much appreciated, because when I see Bill Nagy going backwards, I just put my negativity on.
Also, I only had this game on Red Zone, so I missed basically all of it except the scoring plays. But Red Zone is good, because otherwise, i wouldn’t have even had those until 7pm. I probably saw twice as many snaps in this game was I otherwise would have. But I still didn’t actually see the game.
October 3rd, 2011 at 9:48 AM
When you dominate on offense like GB and shut down the run like GB you’re going to give up alot of garbage time passing yards. Misleading stat.
October 3rd, 2011 at 9:49 AM
Oh and I hate it when fans who are defending the name act like if you are not from the area, then you can’t besmirch the name.
is that what i did? no. i simply pointed out that Wise is using the same old material that’s been used time and time again. i’m not saying he can’t besmirch the name because he isn’t from here. it’s a tiresome argument where there seems to be supporting data on each side.

Yeah… it’s an issue. But I’m not going to start to worry about it until they actually lose a game. They could have put 60 points on the board yesterday.
October 3rd, 2011 at 9:55 AM
Cam Newton is good. I was wrong. If the Bears were playing any other QB in the league yesterday they have probably 4 sacks. Dude is not only elusive, but he’s hard to bring down even when you get a paw on him.
He’s inaccurate at times but he’s got some serious zip on the ball.

October 3rd, 2011 at 10:00 AM
They don’t have one player in their secondary who should be starting for an NFL team. Not one. Every single team they play will be able to throw the ball on them until Babineaux gets back and can provide some push up the middle. As it stands now they’re going to have to score 35+ on every half-decent team they play.

Seahawks would be decent if they had white pants at home. The solid black pants with black tops Baltimore was sporting last night were terrible. They looked like they were wearing girls leggings.

They should have lost to UGA (DAMMIT!) but AUB got them instead (thanks Ritty!). They still have road games with ARK, Tenn, Miss St and a home game with Florida. I think they lose at least one, more likely 2 of those games.

As for Garcia, it all depends on how the MSU game goes in two weeks. They will roll over Kentucky this week at home, but if they struggle (or perhaps lose, which is doubtful) to MSU, Garcia will be right back in there.
