# 2 fits the hit on Fitzgerald who had no time to protect himself or brace for the hit.

No it doesn't. The ball was gone and out of bounds. He wasn't in the act of catching anything. He didn't come in with his helmet or with his shoulder into his helmet. He pushed him.

The plethora of missed holding and PI calls beg otherwise!

lol I actually was referring to getting the ball spotted and less conference time to figure out what they are calling for every flag.

Or were you meaning the calls missed by the replacerments? I just assumed you meant these guys since there have been tons of missed penalties.

Yeah, I got that. You just essentially said the reg refs are as bad as the replacement refs and I think that is a far cry from the truth.

[JO_75]

Despite so many chances, the Cardinals can not even make the comeback.

They missed an awful lot of blatant holding this game and a few PI calls as well.

[JO_75]

The Rams move to 3-2 and are over .500 for the first time after being under .500 for 93 games.

[ravensdfan]

Good for the Rams. Above .500 since 2006 I think they said.

And they are most welcome still. Never forget seattle.

[hawkprey]

Time to end this Cardinal talk! They're a mediocre team that got a bunch of breaks early on. Last two games for them - needed 6 fumble recoveries to edge out the Dolphins in OT and just got spanked by the Rams.

[JO_75]

Folks, we are learning the importance and how much of a difference a good coaching staff can make, or in the Saints case break a team. Sure it helps to have great talented players but that's what we said about the 49ers while Alex Smith sucked and "held them back." Then Jim Harbaugh comes in and makes Alex Smith look good and Smith almost takes the 49ers to the Super Bowl. Then, the Rams who have never been above .500 since 2006, hire Jeff Fisher and they go above .500 for the first time since 2006. Look at the Ravens, John Harbaugh is the only Ravens Head Coach that brought a consistency to the Ravens, before Harbaugh Ravens never made it to the playoffs 4 straight years, yet Harbaugh brought that kind of consistency with him.

Then there is the other side of the spectrum, the Saints. Sean Payton suspended for the year but don't worry the Saints have a good defense and Drew Brees.. WRONG! Despite Brees and their defense, without Payton Brees has become human after his record setting season last year and their defense is non-existent and they look out of sync. The Rams go through so many coaches and none of them could get the Rams above .500 at all.

So I ask... Got Coaching?

Well that's a given. But here's the real question. Will their offense give up more points than their defense???
[/quote]

I'm going to say yes. But they'll probably rush for less than yards than points their D gives up.

There will be one or less undefeated teams by the time we finish with Houston!

You think Houston could lose before we face them? Houston has the Jets this week, and Green Bay the week before they face us in Week 7. I think if Green Bay doesn't beat Houston first, then we'll be seeing an undefeated Houston team in Week 7.

Atlanta meanwhile, have an easy schedule and are just lucky to be undefeated at this point. Carolina should have beat them last week but Atlanta got lucky with the stupid Punting call and the Panthers having no secondary. RG3 may be able to give Atlanta their first loss on Sunday, I like their chances.

[/quote]so do I. They gave up 8 sacks I think, Charles Johnson got 4, against the panthers. Orakpo and Kerrigan could have a field day

What I meant was we'll make sure they don't end up undefeated.

Where do fans get the money to raise funds for billboards and things like that? I mean don't they have anything better to do with that money, like pay bills. Apparently one Chiefs fan decided to blow over $1,600 dollars in order to fly a banner over the stadium on Sunday. The banner will say...

[color=#222221][font=arial, verdana, helvetica]"We deserve better! Fire Pioli -- Bench Cassel."[/font][/color]

Poor Jets, not only have they lost Santonio Holmes for the season, but Rookie WR Stephen Hill is listed as doubtful for Monday Night. So is TE Dustin Keller who has missed the past three weeks due to injury. So it seems we can expect another shutout with them having zero offensive weapons.

Thats a recipe for disaster against the Texans.

We're competing against the Texans for the top spot in AFC. Any Texans loss is a good thing

Yes, I pretty much always want whatever team has the least amount wins currently to win said game (AFC vs AFC games).

Yep especially if they lose to a AFC Opponent. Best part about things is we already have the H2H against the Patriots, and if we beat Houston, Ravens will have the inside track to the # 1 Seed in the AFC.

This is one of those games where I'll be happy about who ever loses. Ofcourse I would rather the Steelers. But the Eagles are on my crap list.

I believe that is Carriker. Kerrigan plays OLB.

Adam Carriker is a DE and he's out for the season alongside Brian Orakpo.

[ratedr]

A Ravens and Eagles win would be great today.
