Week Five Sunday Night Football Pre Game- Open Thread

PrintThe Jaguars got absolutely steam-rolled by the Seahawks. Maybe next time, Jags fans will wait until after the game to talk trash. Staying in the AFC South, the Texans lost a close one to the Cardinals. Houston battled back despite being down 21-0, but Matt Schaub threw a costly INT for a TD, which ended up being the difference. Houston also was stuffed on the goal-line late in the game, and after failing to score on fourth and one, Arizona got the ball and closed out the game.
With both the Jaguars and Texans losing, the Colts have an opportunity to really gain ground the rest of the AFC South against the Titans this evening.
But the big surprise was the Denver Broncos, who defeated the New England Patriots in OT at Invesco Field. Looks like many of us were flat friggin wrong about Denver. They are a very good football team.
Use this thread to chit-chat about all the game today as we gear up for Sunday Night Football featuring the Colts and Titans.

Once again,
THANK YOU BRONCOS!!!!!!!

Or they both suck equal amounts
I’m going with that one.
I've been right about Orton so far this season
He’s not going to win you many games, but he’s certainly good enough to keep you in games. And he won’t lose it.
Think we’ll hear about the OT rule, since Brady never touched the ball in OT?
ESPN will probably have a full 30 minute segment on why the rules need to be changed.

I wish I could laugh at this, but it's probably true.
May the wind be always at your back, and may your placekicker have icewater in his veins.
To be fair,
they talked about it a lot after we lost to the Chargers in OT last year.
I like the OT rules as they are. You’re owed nothing after being bad enough to end the game tied.

Or
Maybe their defense could stop them from driving 60 yards down the field.
A football team consists of Offense, Defense, and Special Teams. The Patriots had 2 of the 3 on the field today in OT.
The OT rules in the NFL are far superior to college.
yeah college football OT is a joke. They should start ’em on the 50 yard line.

I disagree
Denver doesn’t frighten me in the slightest. How many of their wins have been convincing and how many of their wins have been the result of the other team beating themselves?
the Bengals win doesnt count. that game was garbage.
the Browns are a joke too.

Exactly
The Broncos really tried to give this game away but Tommy Boy wouldn’t have it.
I LOL’d when he hit Welker on the ankle. If he woulda completed that pass and Welker scored, I woulda lost my fantasy game.

Denver isn't that good
The Pats are just that bad. If Orton, an so-so in Chicago, can throw at will on the Pats D, then I can’t wait for Nov. 15th.
"Winning is not everything;the desire to win is" - Vince Lombardi
Their top DE is gone
and they lost like all of their secondary and their top linebackers to free agency, retirement, or trades.
It would be ludicrous to expect their pass D to be any good.
Wait a minute
That means the media doesn’t really understand football. Unless they truly believe that any defender touched by Belicheck’s magic wand is automatically going to be a pro-bowl calibre defender.

You're either 300 pounds
or you’re drinking non-alcoholic beer.
Cause otherwise, you’ve got a pretty serious problem guy.
33 over 7 hours
ok that’s still a lot

That means
That he has 26 beers in his bloodstream….Which if they are 12 oz. beers, assuming a 2.5% alcohol content that’s 7.8 oz. of alcohol. Which is slightly less than half a pint, and therefore, about is about impossible
I also wish I had time and motivation to blog at Speed Blue Nation
100 lbs of which are LIVER
May the wind be always at your back, and may your placekicker have icewater in his veins.
my best friend from high school
is an alcoholic (seriously) and his liver and kidneys are healthier than mine.. =/ (and im not unhealthy, except for the hookers and blow and i drink a pound of melted butter at night)
yes i do have a problem!!
i only have 37 beer’s left for the game on a sunday !!!!!
You sir should be dead
What time did you start drinking? 8am?
I also wish I had time and motivation to blog at Speed Blue Nation
And what KIND of beer?
Cause miller lites and stuff is basically water. But something real would be brutal.
Read my math above
Which assumes an American-style pilsner
I also wish I had time and motivation to blog at Speed Blue Nation
I've never seen a mainstream beer
With 2.5 percent. Budweiser is twice that.
I do
or at least I did for a long time, still my “permanent residence”.
Then again, I don’t much get into the lame beer section at the Big Red.
I might be wrong
It might be 3.2% is the general consensus max for the mainstream beers. In many states, there are specials rules for beers with ABV higher than 5%. The Nanny State, taking your money and watering down your beer since 1913.
I also wish I had time and motivation to blog at Speed Blue Nation
In some states yeah
But not in Indiana AFAIK. I buy sixers of Bigfoot Barleywine all the time, that stuff is like 10 percent alcohol.
And where did you buy it?
Because the most common regulation is where and how the product is distributed.
I also wish I had time and motivation to blog at Speed Blue Nation
Grocery store
Marsh has it, its a seasonal brew unfortunately.
Well, your name IS beerking
if you weren’t drinking stupid amounts, you’d pretty much be a fraud.
in all seriousness, i cant drink bud, it f’s up my stomach. If im drinking light beer, its gotta be miller lite, but the miller lite in canada is different from US miller lite.. Normally drink New Castle, though. Labatts if I have to drink a canadian domestic.
light beer is why if I have a choice I drink vodka

ah, the good ole days
my roommate and i used to have to pay a homeless guy out front of the local gas station to get our beer… I guess we could have asked older students. We weren’t bright?
Pepsi
Was your first mistake. I heard they funded the communists….
//joking
///well, kind of

I'm not really a cola wars partisan
before I cut way back on my pop intake I just bought whatever was cheaper from the pepsi-coke-dr. pepper products that week.

i can't stand mcdaniels or the patriots, or anything associated with either...
but it was pretty awesome to see a coach show emotion.
Are the Titans wearing their throwbacks 2nite?
I want them to be as embarrassed as possible on national TV, and then rub it in the faces of the MCMers who trashed my honest assessment of their team this week.

I love it when the Colts wear their throwbacks

Classic.
Hi all
back from American Idiot, a “rock opera” featuring Green Day music. The show was great, but not as great as the ride home listening to the last few minutes of the Denver game – woohoo!!!!
And to see our division rivals lose in spectacular fashion – again, woohoo!!!

thankfully, no – he had to fly out early this morning and I went with a girlfriend
but for some reason I thought the Red Sox had won today, and learned that I was only monitoring until the 8th inning… it is not a happy day to be my husband!

not everybody thought the broncos were going to be a joke. seems getting rid of cutler WAS the best move and Ive been calling them the denver hawkeyes since the second week because these two teams seem to be taking the brunt of disresprect from the media about playing nobody, squeezing by while they just keep winning. if I have to hear one more time…iowa has not played anybody or they only won by a couple….see denver and why I call them the denver hawkeyes Im going to puke
I think denver got the right coach
the jags. baahaaaaaaaaaaaa hahahaha…see last year…they win two games and they are going to the superbowl….then along came cleveland and cincinnati. I so predicted them to pull a cleveland today and they did…win two…dont they ever get it. you actually have to play the game. garrard sucks. I hope he never leaves
You're milking that aren't you BBS?
