NFL Week 13 Running Thread

[amraeder]

Just reported on NFL Network: Woodson and Gbaja-Biamila out as inactives tonight for the Packers.

Two very big losses for the Pack. Woodson could have shut down Crayton while Harris manned up against Owens. And Gbaja-Biamila might have been able to get after Romo.

Not having Woodson will hurt. Their backup sucks giant hairy monkey balls.

3-0 Pack. Not that I'm watching, but that's what my text messages tell me.

 

[amraeder]

Pack had two chances for long passes -- last one that would have been 6 for Driver -- that were just a hair too long.

Did anyone else see the back official come up and point as though it was Green Bay ball?

Gumbel has a voice for newspapers.

Are the refs playing a little indoor soccer after this game?

What is with those pants?

 

[old_tony]

I just rewound it and he clearly and emphatically was signalling Green Bay ball.

 

[93Devil]

A little home cooking for the Cowboys. Not much, but a little.

You're right, he was.

Not that it mattered.

Yep, it was a hell of a play by Harris. I thought it was GB ball, but well, I really want GB to win, so I'm biased.

 

[93Devil]

Damn, Roy.

Perfect hit. Perfect.

 

[93Devil]

It was tough to call. If that happened in Green Bay, the call on the field may have gone the other way.

 

[DisembodiedOwlHead]

At least three times, Gumbel has misidentified Dallas as Green Bay with no mention of correction. Most recently, he said, "Marion Barber is the heartbeat of the Green Bay offense."

Bad pass. He could not step into that at all.

Don't know if you can fault Favre. He couldn't pull it back in, and he couldn't step into it. Just one of those things. Line has to give him a little more time. He got smoked.

Results in a Cowboys TD pass, BTW.

 

[93Devil]

Of all the players I have seen in my 38 years, Favre at the top of his game is my favorite to watch as a fan.

Over Walter, over Barry and over Joe.

My biggest fear is watching him play just too long. That obvious is not happening this year, but I hope it never happens. Nothing disappoints me more than watching a player hang on for a year or two too long.

True. Fortunately, I will never know what it is like to have a 325-pound man running full speed at me, as I try to chuck one down field 50 yards.

 

[playthrough]

Wow there's a lot of Packers fans there.

 

[Barsuk]

Ryan Grant just snapped off about a 60-yard TD run with 1 second left in the first quarter, 13-10 Dallas.

 

[zeke12]

62, and he blew the doors off the Dallas secondary. Yowza.
