Open Thread: All NFL Games, Week 10

I switched from the Packers-Vikings game just in time to see Cleveland score a touchdown to make it 13-3. But the play was called back on a false start on Braylon Edwards. The replay didn't show anything.

Now there's a weak makeup unsportsmanlike conduct penalty on Pittsburgh.

So, you see? It's not just terrible officiating in Patriots games. It's just that in Patriots-Colts games, 98 percent of the bad calls go against New England.

advantage for ya.  But right now Cleveland is winning 14-3 anyways.  I really hope they win as I'd like to see some new teams really start to do well (excepting of course the status quo of New England being the hammer of the gods... I don't want that to change).

9 carries, 45 yards, 2:26 left in the half, and the Packers have the ball.

There was just a video review of what was initially ruled an incomplete pass where Braylon Edwards made a nice catch in the right side of the end zone. The call was overturned, as Edwards did get both feet in bounds.

BUT .. it looked like Edwards may have dragged his right toe out of bounds before he got his left foot down.

Hmmm .. Interesting call. No mention by Nantz or Simms, which is no surprise. We'll see if anyone else catches it.

Also, you can hear LOTS of cursing from these field-level microphones. I guess the league just doesn't care about it anymore.

Back when New England was 1-15 (and I was 4 or 5), I enjoyed watching Marino play so I've got a bit of a soft spot for the 'Phins, but after Shaka Zulu's, errr, Shula's comments, I'm going to have to root for Buffalo.  I'm going for them also because I've been to games in Buffalo and they have GREAT fans.  They're nuts about their team but not in the psychotic, will shoot you, Philadelphia sort of way.  They're good natured and friendly.  Go Bills.

What is it? Bottom of the 5th?

else hoping that San Francisco loses out and finished dead last?  I have nothing against the '49ers, but I would really appreciate it if they managed to finish last in the league because while the league was gracious enough to steal our first round pick (which will be 32nd overall, most likely) we happen to have swiped San Fran's first round pick which is looking to be in the top 5.  Die San Francisco, die.

Stop Peterson, crush the Vikings.  That team should think about changing its name and its color.  Somehow I cannot see a 6'8" tall, 350 lb. Scandinavian who can pull a Boeing 747 100 yards in under a minute wearing purple and yellow.  Also, until they are not that terrible, they're not fearsome enough to be named after a group of individuals whose very mention inspired panic from the New World to Baghdad.  Seriously, a Viking carved his name into the royal palace in Baghdad.

your run defense is bad when Green Bay's running game breaks 100 yards on you.

On the final kneeldown, a Browns player charged the line, and there was a lot of pushing on the field as time expired. I wonder if anyone is going to make a big deal about that, or if anyone is going to get fined, like Mike Vrabel did.

Probably not. This stuff happens every week. It's pro football, for crying out loud. Well, except when the Patriots do it, when it's a systematic pattern of bad behavior.

I used to hate the Cowboys but their team has a new face now.  Romo is hilarious and fun because of his enthusiasm.  That being said, I think the Giants may just win anyways and I'm impartial as to the outcome.  The NFC is pretty much inconsequential because regardless of who comes out, the AFC (pronounced New England [yes, I knock on wood as I type])is going to win the Super bowl.

Yeah, Madden said, "There's no better person to have in this situation than Peyton Manning."

The situation being referred to was the one where your team is down by a wide margin and you need to mount some offense.  Sorry John, but I can think of someone better to have in that situation.  You've been making excuses all night about poor Manning not having his receivers.  Sorry Madden, but shut up.  Manning has to get it done.  Brady got it done without Marvin Harrison or anyone even as good as the Colts' 4th receiver.  Could it be that we are truly seeing the first irrefutable [even by a Colts fan with his head in his sphincter] evidence that Brady is better than Manning?

pick number five for Manning this evening.  This one's ugly.  

that Indy has a Patriots hangover.  I think San Diego had one too after we pummeled them.  I really do think that the Patriots beat a team up physically and psychologically to the point where they have a hard time recovering.  This is especially bad for the Colts who are universally undersized.

Whoa, look at L.T running tacklers over.  It looks like last year.

.. every team the Colts play get called for offensive holding, and the Colts, who hold constantly, never get called.

Chargers running back just got horse-collared, and they didn't call that either.

SUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU UUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCKS

he is so awful I want to vohmit.

want to explain to me how the Colts didn't get called for pass interference on that one?

Colts are NEVER called for it. What a joke.

It was the same exact thing -- but worse -- that Mike Pereira just explained was why Hobbs was called for defensive pass interference. But the fact of the matter is: That's a penalty against every team, except the Colts. Man, Bill Polian pulls those strings tight.

Two challenges, both with absolutely zero chance of succeeding. A waste of timeouts. Turner makes Herman Edwards look like a genius.

how in the world Seattle and San Francisco got the Monday night game?!?!?!
