No. Apparently it's now required that you carry the ball with you in your TD celebration. I guess. | ||

But they had to have evidence that hitting the ground with the ball was a "second act" (which I'm guessing a celebration would count as, although I dunno for sure), which they didn't have.Again, still sounds like a stupid rule to me, though maybe all the other options are worse overall because they allow for even more controversial calls or something. | ||

Off that topic a bit, how awesome is his nickname? Seriously, Megatron... awesome nickname. I have no idea WHY that is though. | ||

The 2nd half Detroit's run game was garbage, and it's got to be at least partly because we weren't throwing pretty much at all. Yeah, Hill's not good, but at least trying would have been nice. | ||

The amount of subjectivity the refs are allowed in this sport is really becoming disgusting and I've been watching NFL football for the majority of my 20 year life. Also I just want to say some NFL analysts are a joke too. I saw a lot of them picking the Bears and Packers to beat the Vikings in the division? What a joke. Packers O-line is no where to be found and the bears really lost to the LIONS today fair and square despite what the standings may say. I'm calling it right now, Vikings take the NFC central just like they did the last two years. | ||

I know his stat-line was bad, and I know Chicago went into prevent on that last drive, but they were utterly ineffective stopping anything.

Chicago's prevent is one of the worst in the league. I don't know how much you can take from that last drive. However, as a Bears fan, I will say that the Lions were robbed. That absolutely was a TD. I wouldn't be surprised at all to see that rule changed because of that play. | ||

I understand the rule that you have to come down with the ball in one motion and it's really an old rule. But CJ took two steps with complete possession of the ball, his knees/thighs hit the ground and only then does he let go of the ball. The amount of subjectivity the refs are allowed in this sport is really becoming disgusting and I've been watching NFL football for the majority of my 20 year life. Also I just want to say some NFL analysts are a joke too. I saw a lot of them picking the Bears and Packers to beat the Vikings in the division? What a joke.

I'm calling it right now, Vikings take the NFC central just like they did the last two years. Yeah, it wasn't subjective at all. He was in the act of falling, that is indisputable. The rule is pretty clear. It's actually the lack of subjectivity in the rules that caused this to happen. And I really have to question whether or not you watch football to call a clear cut Vikings division win after seeing them perform on Thursday, and seeing GB playing fairly well against the Eagles today. The Vikings are without their #1 WR for at least half of the season, their secondary is in complete disarray, AP will probably still fumble, Favre will absolutely throw picks... What is it in that team that says "they take the division easily," other than a disgusting amount of bias for the Vikings or against the Packers. The Bears picks are hopeful thinking, really, although save for some turnovers, their offense looked efficient today. Plus, preseason, it's hard to know exactly what to think of the Bears. Are they the team that we saw in the last four weeks of '09 that beat the might Vikings, or are they the team we saw the first twelve weeks? How will the line hold up? How will their players adjust to Mike Martz's schemes? How will Forte/Taylor do this year? How will Cutler perform? Will he rule the league for INT's again? If the answer to those questions went something like, last four weeks, great, wonderfully, excellently, awesome, and no, then they could easily take the division.

It'd be nice for the fans and revenue, but I'm afraid that some players would lose their careers in those two games. It's just not worth it. | ||

Yeah, they said they were going to focus more on the running game this year. And Indy looked surprised every time they handed the ball off, so why not keep running it? I doubt they'll be able to play that way every game, but what a fantastic start to the season. I'm sad I didn't make my usual "Texans take the division" post this year, because it finally looks like they have a team to do it with. | ||

All those years bitching about Mcnabb. I bet you all wish you had him back now. Yeah. Kolb sucking has nothing to do with the Packers having one of the top defenses in the league. Nothing at all. *whistles* | ||
