It looked to me like it was but just barely. We'll see I guess.

I'll clarify my statement. It's ....holy shit..it's overturned.



I didn't think it was sufficient enough evidence to overturn it. Well, it was a good challenge after all.

Well, Vinny would have been fired if we got Cutler...since it was part of an attempt to snatch Shanahan. XD. The other Skins' QB trades has some Gibbsian fingerprints.

Bears can't catch a break. Defensive PI negated by challenge due to ball being tipped.

Lions just spotted them another penalty on third down :doh:

Also what's the record for most penalties to start a game? :D

Re: Around the NFL Week 5
 

Lions are ****ing idiots. They are just destroying all their good plays from the defense with these stupid penalties. The game is ugly.

Wow, what a BS call.

Think I just saw the worst roughing the passing call ever. When refs make calls like that they should get suspended and fined just like the players do. So awful.

Re: Around the NFL Week 5
 

This game is getting hard to watch. Someone take the flags from the refs.

Yeah very sloppy play by both sides. Can there be such a thing as too hyped up? I hope they settle down.

Not only that, but then they keep the flags in their pockets after Vanden Bosch cheap shotted Cutler on that offsides play. Seriously, I don't want make up calls like they do in the NHL. Call it right the first time.

That Vicks commercial is preposterous. NFL coaches don't sleep. :laughing-

Re: Around the NFL Week 5
 

Lovie Smith is a fool. Also, I'm glad we don't have to play the Lions this year.

Does Lovie Smith know he only has 3 TOs in the first half?

[QUOTE=NC_Skins;846020]Lovie Smith is a fool. Also, I'm glad we don't have to play the Lions this year.[/QUOTE]

Agreed on both counts. I can see why Lovie Smith is so renowned for his crappy use of timeouts and challenges.

10 combined penalties in the first quarter. Horrible. Not sure what the various records for penalties are but they've gotta be off to a good start to beat 'em lol.

Re: Around the NFL Week 5
 

Brady-Welker and Megatron-Stafford are the two hottest WR pairs this season.

Re: Around the NFL Week 5
 

Wonder if Chris Carter is enjoying chewing on the big foot of his? Bet he puts CJ in the top WR list next year...lol

Boy, Cris Carter looks more and more dumb with each game Calvin Johnson plays.

Cris Carter is gonna be doing drugs by the time it's all over. No one can be greater than him. NO ONE!!!!!!. lol

He wasn't even the best WR on his own team, never the less the NFL....lol

Re: Around the NFL Week 5
 

Jay Cutler would be nasty if he had any decent WRs. Feel for the dude.

Re: Around the NFL Week 5
 

[quote=NC_Skins;846031]He wasn't even the best WR on his own team, never the less the NFL....lol[/quote]

But he perceives himself to be...and to him...his perception is his reality. lol

[quote=NC_Skins;846032]Jay Cutler would be nasty if he had any decent WRs. Feel for the dude.[/quote]

Damn straight. His skillset is elite. His buddies...not really.

This is gonna be a close game. Jay cutler, for all his flaws, is still capable of playing good football. That touchdown drive was all him.

Re: Around the NFL Week 5
 

Cutler is better than Stafford IMO

Re: Around the NFL Week 5
 

Matt Forte is LEGIT

Re: Around the NFL Week 5
 

Man, some of the throws Cutler has made tonight were pretty great considering he usually can't set his feet. lol.

Re: Around the NFL Week 5
 

Lions have made their adjustment on Da Bears. Best is loving those runs to the right.

Also, Keiland Williams sighting.

Re: Around the NFL Week 5
 

lol, 7 false starts.

Not only that, a foreign object on the field. LOL.

Re: Around the NFL Week 5
 

I think it's official. Jim Schwartz is to DLs like Andy Reid is to QBs: he makes them all look beastly.

Also, the 8th Chicago false start was on a punt. lol

Re: Around the NFL Week 5
 

The false starts are just inexcusable. I stand by my prediction that Lovie Smith will be fired after the season. Their OL is bad, their WR still sucks, and their defense is old. They are going backwards instead of progressing. The Lions on the other hand have one of the best (and young) teams in the NFL. They only need to pick up a CB,S, LB and they are pretty much set to be a dynasty for the next 7-8 years.

Re: Around the NFL Week 5
 

Edwin Williams. Another former Skin.

Re: Around the NFL Week 5
 

That's the problem with Mike Martz system. It leaves the QB open to be sacked a lot and take a good amount of shots. Look no further than when he was in St. Louis. Warner, Green, and Bulger all got rocked in that system. Cutler isn't going to survive the season if this continues.

Let's get to the playoffs first, then maybe a Super Bowl somewhere in there before we start talking dynasty.

put on the breaks. They need a line to protect their QB and keep him healthy a full season, before they can even go to a couple superbowls, then playoffs, then whatever and we call them a dynasty

Re: Around the NFL Week 5
 

yea the lions are a problem... mainly that d line and megatron... that's about it tho lol IMHO

Re: Around the NFL Week 5
 

We will make it to the playoffs this year by winning the NFC East where we will loose to the Lions in the first round
