Henery misses the PAT! Ha!

by **Good Golly I'm Olly** Mon 12 Nov 2012, 12:29 am

Rams far too conservative on this drive

by **Pr4wn** Mon 12 Nov 2012, 12:45 am

Wow, crucial mistake by the Rams there. Massive.

by **Good Golly I'm Olly** Mon 12 Nov 2012, 12:51 am

AKERS MISSED IT! Shocked

by **Good Golly I'm Olly** Mon 12 Nov 2012, 12:53 am

TIME FOR LEGATRON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

by **Pr4wn** Mon 12 Nov 2012, 12:57 am

Greg the Leg. Can he do it?

by **Good Golly I'm Olly** Mon 12 Nov 2012, 1:00 am

Oh wow St Louis. Oh wow

Aaron Schatz ‏@FO_ASchatz
Greg Zeurlein first kicker to ever be iced by LACK of a timeout.

LOL

by **Good Golly I'm Olly** Mon 12 Nov 2012, 1:14 am

A TIE! HUZZAH!

by **Pr4wn** Mon 12 Nov 2012, 1:15 am

Well that was an anticlimax.

Good night!

I needed that 3 points too for the fantasy football! Now I need the Texans D to score only 1 point or less instead of 4 points or less.

I was a little surprised the 49ers didn't go for a 40 yard FG just before half time and instead went for a short punt.

by **Good Golly I'm Olly** Mon 12 Nov 2012, 2:09 am

Jay Cutler doing what Jay Cutler does at the moment.

by **Good Golly I'm Olly** Mon 12 Nov 2012, 2:14 am

Jesus Kansas would be proud of this amount of turnovers

by GSC Mon 12 Nov 2012, 7:41 am

Sanchez's reworked contract gives them an out after this season. All the guaranteed money is gone.

Or so I was told by Jets fans this offseason

by cherriesfna Mon 12 Nov 2012, 10:21 am

Golden Tate has a career QB rating of 158.3

by Colan (niner) Mon 12 Nov 2012, 2:16 pm

good result for niners when you take everything into account. That tie allows the niners to screw up another few times and still hold a lead over Seattle. Split the Bears and Saints games and then at most drop one or two and division is ours

by BamBam Mon 12 Nov 2012, 2:19 pm

Still can't believe David Akers missed that kick picard

by GSC Mon 12 Nov 2012, 2:20 pm

Rams are quietly 2-0-1 in the NFC West. Impressive yesterday on the road, esp with 2 of their better players being sat down. Must admit I was sceptical when they opened their chequebook to Fisher, thought he was marginally above average as a coach, but hes got them playing.

They have ammunition going forward, hit on enough picks and they could be a real contender going forward.

by sodhat Mon 12 Nov 2012, 2:40 pm

Impressed with Fisher's guts going with a pass play on a fake from the endzone! Imagine if that had gone wrong? I had to smile at Harbaugh's face. He constantly looks like someone has wronged him.

by GSC Mon 12 Nov 2012, 2:49 pm

Harbaugh needs to calm down sometimes or hes going to do himself an aneurysm. Dude takes intense to a new level.

by **Good Golly I'm Olly** Mon 12 Nov 2012, 3:26 pm

The Rams have a really decent base of a team. I was thoroughly impressed by Bradford yesterday, finally seems to be finding his feet in this league. And Amendola is Wes Welker v2, and a pretty good one at that

by CFCNick Mon 12 Nov 2012, 3:33 pm

BREAKING NEWS: Donovan McNabb reportedly still sat in Candlestick Park waiting for the 2nd overtime period to start.

by GSC Mon 12 Nov 2012, 3:54 pm

Can't say I'm sold on Bradford. Been dealt a bad hand, but hasn't really ever shown anything of the talent that saw him go #1. Far too conservative.

by **Good Golly I'm Olly** Mon 12 Nov 2012, 3:59 pm

I think he is maybe a victim of the lack of talent GSC. He doesn't really have anyone apart from Amendola and the Rams do like to run the ball

by GSC Mon 12 Nov 2012, 4:03 pm

While true, it doesn't excuse Bradford entirely. He has problems feeling pressure, and is skittish in the pocket. There are times when he has a chance to just let it rip down the field and it dials it down also.

The Rams have to find a playmaker on the outside, then evaluate Bradford after next season. Lets not forget, he is making 78m from his rookie deal.

Agreed. A tie is better than a loss.

by **Good Golly I'm Olly** Mon 12 Nov 2012, 4:10 pm

Lets not forget he is only into his second year and has had some injury issues so he is going to be nervous under centre until the Rams really sure up there OL.

I think he can become a Top 10 potentially a Top 5 QB in 5 years time

by GSC Mon 12 Nov 2012, 4:11 pm

Hes in his 3rd season

by **Good Golly I'm Olly** Mon 12 Nov 2012, 4:12 pm

Is he? Who was No1 pick in 2011 then lol

by sodhat Mon 12 Nov 2012, 4:14 pm

Cam Newton

He of the sideline strop.

by **Good Golly I'm Olly** Mon 12 Nov 2012, 4:16 pm

That's my bad, I still think Bradford will be good down the line though.

Speaking of Carolina when is Rivera gonna be sacked? Worst record in the NFC at the moment, and running an option offense in the NFL I believe

by sodhat Mon 12 Nov 2012, 4:19 pm

Bradford looks good and he has the physical tools. Against the Pats on the first drive he ripped a beauty for a TD and then reverted to short passes. He comes off a bit cautious.

When is Kalil going to take out a full-page spread saying Carolina probably won't make the SuperBowl? Laugh

by **Pr4wn** Mon 12 Nov 2012, 4:46 pm

I cant stand Harbaugh's face, it really annoys me. Yelling at the refs all the time, I can't believe he doesn't get more penalties called against him. Still, the back slap on Schwartz excuses him entirely!

by GSC Mon 12 Nov 2012, 5:30 pm

Rivera is a dead man walking, but theres nobody worth giving an audition to as next HC I imagine.

He, Reid and Norv Turner the cast iron certs to be fired at this point I think.

by GSC Mon 12 Nov 2012, 5:36 pm

Am I the only one that cant stand Drew Brees?

Comes across kinda fake to me, when the Saints needed him most this offseason he was holding the Saints to ransom after being offered the biggest contract in the NFL.

by **Good Golly I'm Olly** Mon 12 Nov 2012, 5:51 pm

I don't see the argument really because we would all hold out for the most money we could get in that situation. No matter what the circumstances, at the end of the day its his career and he knows how important he is to the franchise, so he wants to make as much as he can. I would do the same as him tbh

by GSC Mon 12 Nov 2012, 5:54 pm

I agree, but he still comes off as a bit fake to me after he does that.

by **Good Golly I'm Olly** Mon 12 Nov 2012, 5:57 pm

Well yes but then most people would do the same so I don't really see the problem. If I had his ability I would be looking for the biggest offer for sure

"I've never been a part of a tie. I never even knew that was in the rule book"

Gotta love Donovan

On the surface, it does always look like he is moaning. But you can see from the sound fx videos that even when you think he is having a go, he may actually be saying something positive. Just an intense guy that wears his heart on his sleave, like sometimes he looks raging at his own player but is actually praising him, a bit like when players push each other away after scoring td's etc

by **Good Golly I'm Olly** Tue 13 Nov 2012, 4:17 pm

Ian Rapoport ‏@RapSheet
#Steelers are bracing for a "serious" injury to QB Ben Roethlisberger's shoulder, I'm told. The fear is that it's worse than a separation.

Bad times Pittsburgh. Byron Leftwich FTW!

I always find it interesting how simple coaches make a very complicated game seem lol.
