American Football (NFL, College, etc.)

Another exciting weekend of college football. Several more highly ranked teams lost, the biggest upset being of course 40-point underdog Stanford's shocking defeat of USC.

UCLA's upset loss by Notre Dame (doesn't that sound weird) proves how important the QB position really is; if the Bruins had an adequate back-up QB, they would have won.

The LSU-Florida contest was a terrific game. Very physical play, lots of outstanding athletes, and high drama to the very end. Having a shaky field goal kicker could end up hurting LSU down the road, however.

Missouri looked impressive stomping all over Nebraska which is what I thought might happen, and kudos to Kansas for upsetting K-State which I didn't think would happen.

I even caught a little bit of high school on the tube: Concord DeLaSalle, a Northern CA power thrashing Mission Viejo, a Southern CA power. I was very pleased with that outcome.

Shocking, but welcome.

Both Notre Dame and UCLA fans cheered in the Rose Bowl when USC's loss was posted on the scoreboard. :hehe:

UCLA did have a back up QB (Patrick Cowan) but he was hurt as well. :sweat:

Chargers take out their frustrations on the Broncos in a big way, 41-3. :victory:

The winless Saints and Rams lose again... :hehe: :rofl: :hehe: :rofl:

Ack, Packers fall from the ranks of the undefeated, losing to Da Bears, 27-20...

Too many turnovers (two picks, three fumbles) cost them the game.

Yup, no magic from Favre this time... :sweat:

Whoa, Buffalo leads the Plowboys, 24-13, in the 3rd quarter... Tony Romo has thrown four interceptions: two returned for TDs... :hehe:

Go Bills!!!!!!! :woot: :dancing: :victory:

LOL, a comedy of errors: Tony Romo: five interceptions and one fumble.

Yet the Plowboys are still in the game: 24-16. :sweat: :sweat: :sweat:

Augh, Bills can't hold off the Plowboys and they lose, 25-24, on a 53-yard FG.... :shakehead: :bleh:

I don't really like the Cowboys all that much, but tonight I didn't mind that they won because I'm really getting sick of teams calling a last-second timeout right before a field goal. It's getting ridiculous.

They should: they play the Patriots at home.

There's been some debate about it after the Raiders-Broncos, then Raiders-Browns(?) games... But I don't think the NFL is going to change anything in the near future... :sweat:

How long has it been since you posted something :beaten: :beaten: :beaten:


Last-second time out before a field goal....how often does it even work???? :sweat:

Let's hear it for special teams!

Houston placekicker Kris Brown booted three long field goals yesterday including a career-long 57-yard game-winner with one second remaining to give the host Texans a 22-19 victory over the Miami Dolphins.

Brownfs winning kick was preceded by a pair of 54-yard field goals earlier in the game to tie the NFL record of three field goals of 50 yards or longer in the same game.

dallas was able to stay 5-0

It worked a couple of weeks ago: the Raiders lost to the Broncos when Janikowski clanked his second FG attempt. :hehe:

Boo. :grumble:

They'll fall next weekend against the Pats.

Game of the week, New England at Dallas, coming up... :thumbsup:

Though, they're gonna show the Oakland at San Diego game here. :shakehead: :bleh:

Nuts, USC manages to avoid another upset, beating Arizona, 20-13. :sweat:
