NFL 2012 NFL - Week 2

[Dirty Bird]

A WR successfully blocking Elvis Dumervil

 

[Dixie Flatline]

Only the three receptions so far for Julio Jones, whereas Roddy White has eight catches for 102 yards and a TD. For those watching, are the Broncos double-covering Jones, or is there another reason why Jones isn't seeing much of the ball this game?

27-14 now, if the Broncos could get a turnover on this drive this isn't over yet.

 

[tb_fanboy]

YES vonn!!! Finally! Go Peyton!

Big sack by Von Miller... Atlanta 3 and out... Denver got the ball at their own 40... need a TD here to have any chance.

The Broncos have had a great pass rush all game that isn't giving Jones the time to take advatage of his speed and get open deep. Ryan needs to go short all day, and that's Gonzalez's and White's forte.

 

[peterbuch74]

The drive started to look good... then Peyton copped a 13 yard sack. Punted and downed the ball at the 3... need another big stop or turnover.

 

[peterbuch74]

Denver D holds up again... another 3 and out. Time getting skinny

 

[Dirty Bird]

Glad it's Manning leading the Broncos now rather than Tebow

 

[peterbuch74]

Big 4th and goal at the 2yd line

 

[peterbuch74]

McGahee TD!!! Woot...

 

[tb_fanboy]

better Peyton!

 

[Dirty Bird]

 

[peterbuch74]

Have a feeling this is all a little too late... 2 minute warning, Falcons with a 1st down, Broncos with 1 timeout

 

[peterbuch74]

I bet you took a deep breath with that 1st Dirty Bird

 

[peterbuch74]

Well played Falcons... too good at the start, and the Broncos just weren't up for the pressure early.

 

[Dirty Bird]

That I did.

 

[Dagless]

Coughlin should keep his trap shut. There's nothing wrong with what Schiano asked his players to do, or what they did. Trail by less than a TD, and every play right down to when the clock shows "0:00" is a live play. The Bucs had every right to try to cause a fumble or a botched snap.

I don't particularly care, but it's bush league. There is no way for the defense to actually force a fumble or botched snap in kneel. It might happen because the QB ****s up, but there is no way the D could legally cause it.

Cheers, Dirty Bird. I needed a big game from Julio Jones to win a fantasy league match-up, but I knew the risks when I drafted Jones that he would alternate between big games (like week 1) and games where he doesn't put up the yards (like today).

Bush league from a sooky rookie coach.

did that play get called dead?

Not a knee and no one touched him.

 

[Primetime Pricey]

Have no problem with what Tampa tried to do, anything could have happened.

He clearly got his knee down at the start.

The chances of one of their own players getting injured is much greater than a fumble happening before Eli gets the knee down, whilst hoping for a penalty so it doesn't have to be a continuous play.

Maybe in college where the turnover of players is year to year and you run up scores, but there's still some dignity in professional football.

Didn't notice that.
