NFL Week 13 Thread: Stevie Johnson won't forgive G-d for being a Steelers fan

No, but it is another reason Harrison is not going to get much sympathy. Goodell has chosen his targets wisely and the Steelers keep painting bullseyes on themselves.

 

Good point, OOP.

 

I'll take three words that have never been uttered before, for a thousand, Alex.

 

Sorry, YGBFKM. You forgot to phrase your answer in the form of a question.

 

Crap. I mean, what is crap!?

 

Too late. You are in negative numbers and you fail to qualify for Final Jeopardy. Better luck next time.

 

If the Eagles finished even half their trips into the red zone with touchdowns instead of field goals, they'd score 50 points a game.

Roethlisberger's foot injury is a broken bone, not a sprain, but he still expects to play Sunday night.

 

Looks like Vick is going to go yet another game without a horrifying, career-ending injury. Oh well, there's always next week.

 

Here's something else you don't hear very often. Joe Theismann just made a good point. Matt Schaub was clearly hit with a blow to the head on a fourth-down incompletion, but no flag was thrown. The inconsistency on these calls is just ridiculous.

 

Hansen's arms were open, and he was clearly trying to avoid contact with Schaub. Based on the replay, he grazed Schaub if he did anything. It was a good no-call. If a flag had been thrown, we'd be analyzing the replay and wondering where the hell the contact was. The fourth-down hit the Eagles put on Peyton Manning a couple weeks ago looked like a slobberknocker compared to this one.

I was in bigger disbelief at Theismann arguing that quarterbacks should have MORE protection. Really, Joe? Defenders already can't hit them above the numbers or below the knees. Should we just tie the flag belt to them? Make pass rushers count five Mississippi at the snap?

 

Five Mississippi is a little much, but five alligator seems about right.
