Week Nine - 2021

Because of the Jets shocker against the Bengals a lot of the betting public are backing the Jets +10.

Hopefully Indy keeps losing.

Can't say Mike White isn't making the most of his opportunities.

Nice drive

Legggoooo Jets

MDS · November 04, 2021, 10:19:17 PM

man if you think jalen hurts stinks wait to see you josh johnson play

PhillyPhreak54 · November 04, 2021, 11:43:15 PM

Well actually...

Johnson played well. He's a guy that's easy to root for. He's been bouncing around for nine years now.

That tipped ball cost people a back door cover. Was funny watching the Colts bettors sweat it.

I watched until the third Colts TD, went to bed.

I have a question about punching the ball out: is it a foul if you miss the ball and punch the carrier instead? Is anything stopping defensive players from punching ball carriers? A hard kidney shot or gut punch could really help slow a guy down and you can just claim you were trying to punch the ball?

Yes it's a penalty but it rarely gets called. I think your observance is similar to mine: recently we're seeing consecutive blatant front upper cuts and downward fist slams attempting to get the ball out. Used to be a subtle shot here and there.

Yes.

TJ Watt was called for unsportsmanlike against Seattle for punching the ball carrier. He was aiming for the ball but it looked like he was taking body shots on the RB. It was more assault than taking a whack at the ball.

I ended up taking Dallas in one survivor and Pittsburgh in the Bullet survivor.

i just couldnt risk pitt...i had ben nightmares. hes such a washed up rapey pos. im on dallas, will grab pitt next week with the less frisky qb.

Diomedes · November 07, 2021, 12:21:52 PM

ok you've hit your limit..you can stop using the term "frisky" now

you get three new usages starting next year

I had to visit an architectural salvage joint that's right around the corner from the Ravens' stadium and forgot it was a home game today.

Purple camo galore.

Good start for the Brownies

100yd pick six

Dallas taking a beating so far. They're off in every phase.

A lot of slow games so far. Wasn't an exciting schedule for the earlies.

Saints seem to have woken up a bit as they're driving.

And the play by Tyrod Taylor a moment ago...he was going out of bounds. He flipped the ball away. But he flipped it along the sideline and a Dolphins LB picked it. Never saw anything like that before. And it's cost the Texans a TD. Dolphins legend Mack Hollins hauls in a TD pass.

I have the Texans in a lot of teasers so this sucks.
