yep that sums it up you gotta take the charge there

its a rule now

you just cant initiate contact coming from the outside liek that and McKenzie lunged into him with a shoulder so it became a penalty

you can stand there and get run over but you cant stick a shoulder in him coming from outside

Bogo was playing wiht him a little by teeing it up both guys were laughing

he came in and stuck a shoulder into him; youre not allowed to do that any more they will call it every single time they see it

they missed a holdign call on the edge anyway it all sqaures out

McKenzie

If the OLine can take advantage of a Miami D that has got to start dropping into zones, a running game could make this team really really hard to deal with going forward

Im pretty sure Dodson also made another play while the cameras were out on 1st down Tough to know for sure when you're slouched in a chair with your neck craned at 90 degrees to the right I cant be the only one who was doing that right?

dodson all over the place late on that one though

lmbo......

Heide Roethlisberger does have that Teutonic guttural ring to it

Those 6 points brought to you by Chan Gailey

Props to CBS! That was awesome not having to see a phish TD

Who that be whippin on Leslie Frazier right now : - 0 That guy can coach it....

Untouched with the wise slide at the end

This game better not go 4 hrs

It's definitely a subject that SDS and the mods have been poring over for some time in search of a solution. We clearly haven't found it yet, whether that's because we haven't struck upon it yet or whether no perfect solution exists is debatable in itself. From my perspective, this board remains civil precisely because it remains free of politics and I'd like to see that standard maintained. As for moderating PPP, the difficulty of finding a moderator who is both neutral and masochistic enough to take on that task is nigh impossible. I have no desire to subject myself to that abuse nor would I ask anybody else to do so at this point in our country's de-evolution. Our society has become so divided by our politicians, our media and our people that it may not be feasible to even have a political discussion that remains civil. If that's the case, then a civil PPP board is a pipe dream, moderated or not. We'll keep hashing it out among the mods in hopes that a reasonable solution presents itself. In the meantime, I would second the suggestion from DFT that the ignore feature is a very valuable tool if used wisely. Fwiw, that will be my only comment on the subject here as I have no desire to take a thread about such a well-respected woman off the rails.

If you'd like to discuss the political implications of this, take it to PPP. It does not belong anywhere else.

There's nothing likely or unlikely about it; it is what it is and that was a called option play. It was specifically designed for Jackson to execute a pitch out when he couldn't advance the ball any more himself. Ingram maintained his pitch angle all the way down the field like he should have but wasn't ready for it because Jackson's an alien and didn't make the pitch until he was 4" off the ground. They'll call that up several more times this year and from now on Ingram won't relax on it until he's halfway back to the huddle.

Her full name is Stella Artois Luna Blue ; - )

Carlton? We have a golden named Stella. My guess for what you're thinking is Christie

Great read as always, man. I would only differ with you by not including that shot to Knox among Allen's list of errors. Never saw a replay but I thought at the time that he had damned near uncorked an Aaron Rodgers type throw. Wasn't he was flushed by pressure, on a hard sprintout to his left and had to shoot it 30+ yrds to a TE who didn't manage to move more than 2 feet to get a hand on it? I thought it was only about 20" from being the kind of rip that people talk about til Wednesday.

I don't know what you want me to explain, if I remember right it was a pretty standard speed option call. The only things out of the ordinary about it were that a) you don't see it often in the NFL and b) I think it had a wrinkle where they motioned the X back across to disguise the action and hold the back 7 in place and it worked like a charm. An option play doesn't end at the LOS, the back maintains his pitch relationship all the way down the field, which he did. He just wasn't ready for the pitch when it finally came.
