djtestudo · 01-15-2005, 04:36 PM

Oh man...Doug Brien just got himself cut...

Esen · 01-15-2005, 04:58 PM

man real nail biter this steeler - Jet game, would love to see the Jets win actually

djtestudo · 01-15-2005, 05:05 PM

Great job by the Steelers.

blitz.fenix · 01-15-2005, 05:08 PM

Goodbye Brien, hope you don't come back next season.

Rdr4evr · 01-15-2005, 05:10 PM

They had the game won twice. Brien is done.

Spartak · 01-15-2005, 05:24 PM

And the sound you hear now are the wheels comming off the Ben Roethlisberger band wagon...

Well, maybe not. But he had an absolutely awful game.

Rdr4evr · 01-15-2005, 05:26 PM

so he is a rookie after all

my only hope now is for the Sparrows to get slaughtered.....come on Vick, give me 3 INT's.

archer2371 · 01-15-2005, 05:56 PM

Boy, do I look like an idiot...congrats steelerz, as it looks like Atlanta will crush St. Louis...

Esen · 01-15-2005, 06:26 PM

Yea, I fell bad for the Jets, they really worked their buts off, but bac kicking seems to be a thme this year for a few games, not just by the jets.

Even though I wanted the Jets to win, I did pick Steelers over them, how sad is that but oh well.

Rdr4evr · 01-15-2005, 07:01 PM

Holy crap the Rams rush defense BLOWS! They are getting ran over all over the place, I'm still being optimistic though. Go Rams.

heccubusiv · 01-15-2005, 07:28 PM

Ben played like a veteran but like a veteran like Tim Rattay or Jeff Hoestler instead of how he normally played.

Cross-Over · 01-15-2005, 07:41 PM

I feel for Jets fans, really no acceptance in a loss like that. That is the NFL Playoffs though; there have been many losses over the years that were tough to stomach.

Wycheck and the Music City Miracle
Norwood's blown field goal
Nedney being roughed at the end of the Pitt/Tenn game
Raiders losing to NE after a ridiculous tuck rule

I guess it is easy for me to put it into perspective at the moment since I am not a Jets fan.

As for the Falcons game, St. Louis can't tackle, and Atlanta can run. It would be a huge comeback for the Rams, I hope it doesn't happen.

filtherton · 01-15-2005, 07:55 PM

I don't understand how brien had a job at all. Either last year or the year before he missed 2! extra points in one game whilst playing at home with the vikings.

Please don't remind me, it still hurts.

What a slaughter, Rams defense was horrendous. Oh well, can't wait to see the Colts game tomm, that should be a good one and hopefully a blowout is in store for the Patsies, although a longshot.

Hey archer2371, I thought that the Rams might have a chance but damn, Atlanta was on their game tonite. Good job on your picks this season.

ironchef82 · 01-15-2005, 08:36 PM

My thoughts after watching the entire Rams/Falcons game...

-The Rams run defense absolutely stunk. Hey Minnesota/Philly... want to know how to contain the Falcons rushing? Don't do what the Rams did.

-The Rams special teams stunk more.

-Vick had a nice passing completion percentage (12/16) but low yards (82). Then again, no need to pass much when your ground game has over 300 for the night...

-Falcons didn't have to punt until the latter end of the third quarter. Holy cow.

-It was setting up to be quite the game in the first quarter... and then the Rams started to go downhill...

-Did anyone see the fumble by Vick in the first half? It appeared to me like his elbow was down before the ball came loose. And it seemed like I was the only one that saw it like that as the announcers (who sucked) didn't say anything, and there was no challenge.

Go Falcons!

Rooting for the Vikes tomorrow, but expecting to face Philly for the championship. And I'd sure as hell love to see Indy win too.

He wasn't touched when he hit the ground, so he wasn't ruled "down". When the ball popped out (even though it was caused by hitting the ground), it was still a “live” ball. I don't recall seeing a play like that before, but it is the right call.

Doctor_Max · 01-15-2005, 08:53 PM

Closest thing I remember is Plummer last year diving for a first down and the first thing that hit the ground was the ball which poped out and was returned for a TD. I don't recall if he was touched though.

Eh, I gambled a bit, but good luck on your try for the TFP Bowl Championship.

Gotcha. Thanks for clearing that up.

BonesCPA · 01-16-2005, 01:27 PM

Why did the national media forget about the Eagles defense? Points allowed says alot. Step 1 down, two more to go.

I totally agree, the only thing I ever hear about their defense is that they are weak stopping the run. No credit was given for their contribution to a one loss season (prior to sitting the starters).

Esen · 01-16-2005, 03:17 PM

Woot!
I go to week 3
I can't beleive I took out our #1 seed,

Great run DjTestudio!
It was great playing with you.

Yeah, yeah, yeah...

When that ball went from LJ Smith into the endzone directly to Freddie Mitchell, I knew it was all over

Good luck Chauncey

Rdr4evr · 01-16-2005, 04:12 PM

Looks like the Colts are done for; Manning still can't get it done in NE. Anyway, if the SB ends up with Atlanta and New England, I won't even bother watching. At the very least I hope its Philly and Pittsburgh/New England, at least that way I have a team to root for.

Bodyhammer86 · 01-16-2005, 04:16 PM

That was a terrible game, pure and simple. I couldn't stand to watch it, the Colts were playing so bad.

Manning can't get all the blame. His defense didn't show up at all. His receievers keep dropping balls. When they do catch it, they fumble it right back.

I'll agree with that SB comment though. Ugh, that'd be terrible.

BonesCPA · 01-16-2005, 05:15 PM

The final four:

3. steelerz vs. 10. BonesCPA
5. Fantasma vs. 8 Chauncey

Oh, and will Manning ever become a big game quarterback? I think I could have thrown 20 TD's in a dome with the new rule changes. And don't blame their defense, they did what they got paid for - not much effort for not much pay.

Esen · 01-16-2005, 06:00 PM

Thanks Djtestudio

BonesCPA · 01-17-2005, 07:17 AM

We know who won the playoff matches, but who won the week? Here is the order of finish for last week based on wins and tiebreakers:

Fantasma
BonesCPA
Chauncey
bond007
Giant Hamburger
steelerz
djtestudo
loonatic8her
ironchef82
blitz.fenix
boom29
degrawj
archer2371
Rdr4evr
heccubsiv

(Oh, in case anybody wondered, no one picked the Colts to be the lowest scoring.)

Giant Hamburger · 01-17-2005, 07:41 AM

Man did I have the Patriots-Colts game all wrong.
I knew I was in trouble when I saw the weather.
Then I really knew I was in trouble when I saw the first half.
Good luck final four!

Fantasma · 01-17-2005, 08:24 AM

WOW!
I'm in the final four, besides I won the week.
I think a have the momentum!!
