Go Panthers... tied at 10!

Looks like Rams are going to get a win today unless Bucs magically turn it around... Rams are a threat now in the division.

Saints getting clobbered at home by Browns!!! That win does not look that hot now.

WTH... Bills 24-13 over Ravens at Baltimore???

Go Dolphins... I hate Steelers.

 

[joeshmo]

The Saints are Broken.

The word of the year this season is PARITY.

Alex Smith sacked hard, looked like Lienart type shoulder injury, Carr in.

 

[JeffGollin]

Before the A Smith injury, not only were the Niners and Rams leading, they also seemed to be outplaying their opponents (especially in the running game).

(Got my fingers crossed).

Note - Anyone notice in the Pittsburgh game how the guy covering Wallace on that TD pass knew he was going deep and tried to cover him deep, but simply couldn't stay with him. Wallace simply ran past him like he was a cardboard cutout. (Wallace's 4th TD catch of the season. Pretty impressive).

You left out the t. It's Patriotcrity.

 

[Osbern61]

Panthers Matt Moore has a ridiculous pick 6.

 

[Dayman]

This 49ers game is downright ugly.

In other news, Ed Reed is unreal.

 

[Russ Smith]

The tell on the Panthers today is the RB. Even with a fumble, when Williams is in Carolina moves the ball, when Stewart comes in they don't. I don't know what it is, Stewart hasn't really had any room to run, it just seems when he's in SF knows the play and when Williams is in they don't?

 

[Proteus]

Ooh...Roethlisberger fumbles the ball just before crossing the goal line.

 

[Proteus]

Oh wow...the Steelers keep the ball because they can't tell who recovered the ball.

 

[thirty-two]

Wow that call SUCKED for Miami!

 

[az240zz]

i said as soon as he threw the red flagg they will figure out how to give Pittsburgh the win. You knew no matter what that Miami wasn't going tpo get the call.

 

[mjb21aztd]

come on tampa pound the ball in the endzone to end the game, the bucks are driving down by 5 with 2 min left at the 50 yard line...

 

[az240zz]

3 miami guys on or around the ball and they can't tell who covered it. bULLS... call.

 

[English on tour]

ah that Panthers drop might just swing the Niners whole season

 

[O]

ah that Panthers drop might just swing the Niners whole season

And the receiver that dropped it just redeemed himself with a TD catch,
Tied game.

 

[WarnerHOF]

Who in the world is David Gettis?

 

[mjb21aztd]

[az1965]

C'mon Panthers D... don't let them get into FG range

 

[az1965]

Woo hoo... Carr throws pick

Yep, this was a pathetic call, especially since even in live action it was clear it was a fumble. But the TD call almost guaranteed Steelers would get the ball back even if its overturned.

So, to sum up: the TD call on the field was overturned and ruled a fumble, but since the officials couldn't determine from the replay who recovered the ball (even though replays showed Miami recovering) they determined that the Steelers should maintain the ball by default? Based on what? Did they not conclude it was a fumble? Why did the Steelers get the benefit of doubt even though the call on the field was overturned?

Btw, I'm a Dolphins fan, so I'm pretty upset about this.

 

[LoyaltyisaCurse]

Pittsburgh gets another one with an assist from the NFL...
