Their special teams gave up 11 points, otherwise the game may of been diffeent. Hopefully they have that problem fixed when facing Baltimore next Sunday

Honestly, I'm still sore over this play:

I was sore that John Kasay put the kickoff out of bounds that gave the Patriots a short field that led to them beating the Panthers in the Super Bowl.

I'm not sure what you're own about, but what I do know is that the Pats started each drive, on average, at the 27 yard line. 13 yards probably wouldn't have made much of a difference.

What!!!??? 13 yards could have made a huge difference.

I'm guessing those numbers are in reference to the image you posted?

 

My reference was the Super Bow; the 2 teams played in against each other. The game was tied very late in the 4th quarter when John Kasay kicked the ball out of bounds which gave the Patriots an extra 15 yards giving them a shorter field to work with. Had that ball not been kicked out of bounds the game would most likely of gone into OT with the opportunity for Caralina to win. New England won the game on a 43 yard field goal with 4 seconds left. That 15 yards made a huge difference. So anytime the Panthers beat the Patriots or any other team beats New England, I'm happy. Don't like the team

No, it's in reference to the out of bounds kick off. But shouldn't you be made with Kasay, not the Pats? 

I watched the game, I know what happened. 

My problem with the picture is the blatant pass interference that wasn't called. 

[Katiefrost]

The final game 3 score just came in:

Chicago Bears beat the New York Jets, 27 to 19

I had picked the Jets, Which shows how much I know.
 
Week 3 is officially over. Here's the week 4 game schedule:

I'm going to mull over this a bit....

[Katiefrost]

Some outcomes from game 3 that surprised me:

New York Giants beating Houston Texans, 30 to 17
Detroit Lions beating Green Bay Packers, 19 to 7
Kansas City Chiefs beating Miami Dolphins, 34 to 15

Among others. Opinions?

Where in my post did say it was pats kicking the ball out of bounds?

 

If that was interference, the refs would've called it interference. You could also say Brady fumbled the ball when playing Oakland during the playoffs, but for some reason the ref decides to call the tuck rule or whatever it was.  and not a fumble which was recovered by Oakland

[Jorji Costava]

Hey, I went 12-4! Yay me!

 

Unlike the Denver sports writer quoted in this article, I do not feel they claim that win just because of the coin toss. The Seahawks led the Broncos through most of the game.

 

I agree with you; for me, the key to this game was Seattle's ability to shut down Denver's screen game. It seems like the Broncos ran approximately one million of those quick, short passes to the outside, and those plays combined to gain a total of about 3 yards. That led to a lot of fast three and outs, which meant Denver's defense had to spend a heck of a lot of time on the field. By the time that Wilson was leading the Seahawks on that final drive, the Denver defense was out of gas.

Honestly, I wouldn't be too mad if I were a Patriots fan. They benefitted from an extremely questionable pass interference call at the end of their comeback against the Browns. Plus, the refs missed a blatant holding call on Tom Brady's game-winning pass against the Saints.

Those were three of the games that I got wrong (the other being the Steelers against the Panthers, which surprised me; I was pretty confident about that one). A lot of people had Miami pegged as a sleeper team in the AFC. I was never sold on them, but I thought that KC figured to be one of the weakest teams in the AFC. Maybe they still are, but what does that say about the Dolphins?

 

I was also surprised by the Patriots 16-9 win over the Raiders; not that they won, mind you, but that seems like a rather small margin of victory at home against what is possibly the worst team in the league. I'd be getting worried about the Pats' offense right about now. Back in his heydey, Tom Brady had what I thought was as good of a deep ball as anybody in the league. But now I can't remember the last time he completed a pass that traveled over 20 yards in the air. Plus, pass protection looks like a serious issue.

It just seems like misdirected anger to me.

But there was also that "unsportsmanlike conduct" penalty called against Chris Jones in the Jets game that let them retry the OT field goal that they missed. The only time that penalty has ever been called.... ever. 

You don't call holding on the last play of the game. Besides, then there wouldn't be one of the greatest sport announcing moment of all time. 

Well, at the same time last year, there was this game http://espn.go.com/n...ameId=330912017 against the Jets and this game http://espn.go.com/nfl/boxscore?gameId=331006004 against the Bengals. The Patriots still ended up scoring the third most points in the NFL. 

And their offense right now is far better than it was at that point last year.

Here are my picks for week 4:

Washington Redskins
Chicago Bears
Houston Texans
Indianapolis Colts
Baltimore Ravens (Really had a hard time with this pick, almost chose Carolina Panthers.)
Detroit Lions
Pittsburgh Steelers
Miami Dolphins
San Diego Chargers
Philadelphia Eagles
Minnesota Vikings (Not rational, but choosing them anyway.)
New Orleans Saints
New England Patriots

By the way, did you know that the geometric shape of a football is called a prolate spheroid? (from "Newton's Football")

[Jorji Costava]

This looks like a rough week; a lot of games are hard to call, but they look like games between middling to weak teams. Drunk off my success from last week, I'll make a couple of predictions:

Washington d. NYG: Rolling with Cousins; I don't know if his success is short-term or for real, but I think he has enough weapons to keep it going against the Giants, who benefitted from playing against Ryan Fitztragic last week.

Green Bay d. Chicago: Feel like I need to have one pick that goes against conventional wisdom, so this is it. Despite Green Bay's struggles, I can't discount Rodgers' track record of success against the Bears.

Indianapolis d. Tennessee: Indy has Andrew Luck; Tennessee doesn't. Enough said.

Miami d. Oakland: This game could be closer than it appears; I'm not convinced that Miami is good at all.

Detroit d. NYJ: If Geno Smith coulld't punch it in against one of the most depleted secondaries you'll ever see, I don't see him turning around the Jet's red zone woes in Detroit (assuming the Jets ever get to the red zone in the first place).

Pittsburgh d. Tampa Bay: The Bucs look like one of the worst teams in football, while the Steelers looked impressive in dispatching Carolina.

Baltimore d. Carolina: This was also the toughest game for me to pick; I'm going with Baltimore because I think they're a bit more of a complete team. Carolina's receiver situation still worries me.

Buffalo d. Houston: Houston's offense is just not on the level of San Diego; I think Buffalo's D is enough to carry them through this game.

San Diego d. Jacksonville: This doesn't require too much elaboration.

Atlanta d. Minnesota: I've been a Bridgewater believer since the draft, but I think Atlanta is too good on offense for him to get his first W.

San Francisco d. Philadelphia: Philly's offensive line is incredibly depleted, and they can't run the ball at all. Contrary to my predictions, Kaepernick looked very good throwing against Arizona's defense; the Eagles' porous pass defense may be just what he needs. Philly needs to win this in a high scoring shootout if they win it at all.

New Orleans d. Dallas: I think Drew Brees and company should be able to exploit Morris Claiborne and the Dallas pass defense well enough to win.

New England d. Kansas City: The NE offense has looked pretty sketchy so far (Brady is averaging 5.5 yards per attempt on the season), but I think they can do enough to outscore the Chiefs.

New York Giants beat Washington Redskins, 45 to 14

Surprise, surprise! In view of the very good teamwork between Larry Donnell and Eli Manning, it looks like the NYG may have more to bring to a game than some of us thought.

I haven't seen this documentary yet, but I plan to. Archie Manning is a former NFL quarterback who played 10 seasons for the New Orleans Saints and also played for the Houston Oilers and Minnesota Vikings. Archie and Oliver Manning are the parents of Cooper, Peyton and Eli Manning. Cooper's football playing was cut short by a spinal condition, but we all know about Peyton and Eli.... I try to imagine what dinner table conversation must be like, say at Thanksgiving, with all the families under one roof. It must be priceless.

Eli manning has gained a new nick name. "Unicorn" Manning.

http://www.nfl.com/n...-unicorn-or-ufo

Since this was Eli Manning's 1st rushing TD since early in the season in 2011. Peyton Manning has 18 career rushing TDs.

[Jorji Costava]

My favorite play of last year was Peyton Manning's rushing touchdown against the Cowboys. The camera takes its focus off of Manning, because the camera operator probably figured, "No way Manning tries to carry the football." In casual conversation, I once heard someone describe Manning's lumbering gait as "running like you're mad at the ground."

 

Still, he's a legendary QB. If he were to win a second Super Bowl this year, that would pretty much settle it for me as far as the whole "Greatest QB of all time" debate goes.

 

EDIT: If we're talking about comical-looking running motions, then I'll have to include this here.

Here's part of Sunday's scores 9/28, game 4:

Green Bay Packers beat Chicago Bears, 38 to 17 _______Happy day for Packers fans.
Houston Texans beat Buffalo Bills, 23 to 17
Indianapolis Colts beat Tennessee Titans, 41 to 17
Baltimore Ravens beat Carolina Panthers, 38 to 10
Detroit Lions beat New York Jets, 24 to 17
Tampa Bay Buccaneers beat Pittsburgh Steelers, 27 to 24 ______Who'd have thought...
Miami Dolphins beat Oakland Raiders, 38 to 14

That's all for now.

[themikefest]

The Panthers looked really weak on both offense and defense. They need to get out of this mini slump.

 

Surprised Tampa won.

[teh DRUMPf!!]

 

I don't care if this TD didn't stand, it was still frickin amazing.
