Horrible performance at the Q. Raiders thoroughly deserved it.

Let them play! Give receivers/defenders credit for making plays, always looking for an inch of the ball touch the ground. Does my nut in! And I dont think freemans was a personal foul, hes still a valid player in field, hit him!

EDIT: He was out but theres been other examples

Was a cracking hit by Freeman

Raiders are like a scitzo team! Either weirdly good or awfully terrible. Indy lost too so thankfully SD at 1/6 before the game dont get the sole blame for making my bets sink like the titanic

Dez Bryant has broke his ankle according to Adam Schefter, shame for the lad I love watching him play hes a beast

Re: More NFL Chat : Mon Dec 06, 2010 12:49 am  

Gutted!

A game we shouldnt have lost after going 10 up with 10 to play. Atanta are a strong team though and that Kick return for the TD was the big momentum shifter.

In the end it was 2 stupid penalties that kiled us. Especially the call for a horsecollar on Black. Rudd had the guy covered into OB. There was no need for it. It'd have been 3rd and 8 at that point with a 3 point lead.

Im happy that we competed and maybe showed we were the best team but it should have been a W. IMO I think we can beat the Redskins next week and should beat Detroit and Seattle. 10-5 going into the last game at the Superdome and hopefully there will be something to play for.

Yeah he'l be done for the year, quality for years to come for the cowboys and its always a shame especially when the seasons are done really for the cowboys. Who you fancy for late game mate? With my sb pick being ravens typically I fancy the steelers I might chuck a few quid on under 40 total points, these are always almighty defensive struggles. Oh and Willis Mcgahee first td scorer (if hes playin)

Think you were quite unlucky tbh, Always sign of a top quality team to win games shouldnt arguably win. If its not this year next year think you should be right up there. Hopefully keep it going like you said and net a play off place one way or other. And I still dont think Atlanta are ready to go all the way yet!

I think the Ravens will just edge it, I will go with 23-17 Ravens.

I dont have a "2nd team" but have always been a big fan of Ray Lewis and the Ravens style of D, plus as you will have guessed I hate those damn Steelers

Re: More NFL Chat : Mon Dec 06, 2010 1:25 am  

I'll take that, Gone for a tight ravens win under one score, and hopefully cement the division. Always a good game these.
Oh and watching that Harrison hit, either these rules need clarifying a bit or the whole way of tackling receivers/sacking needs overhauling. The things that annoy me more is when a player dives in hitting a player in the head region when hes almost down whether he be a back or receiver, arguably trying to dislodge the ball. Think theyre worse than some of the helmet hits.
