James dirty af

Different era and he's a gritty, tough, hard-nosed defender.

My friend just said “in 1983 that’s a highlight on the sports minute”.

 

[Gr00vus]

Well it was nice having Derwin with us for a quarter after missing the last 2 games. I think he gave himself a concussion along with the receiver.

Hell, probably even in 2003.

Back in the 80’s and early 90’s that was Ronnie Lott every Sunday.

“You got JACKED UP!”

It was amazing, and did it age well at all.

The “woo hit”.

I’m glad it’s been outlawed.

Thought you were going for the Sports Machine

 

[Despyzer]

The 46 defense was named after Doug Plank... a safety who did nothing but hit opposing players in a similar manner.

But yeah, I'm glad the game is evolving from that.

Lott hitting Icky Woods in the 88 super bowl was my favorite. Clean hit too. Took all the fight out of Icky the rest of the game

 

[Despyzer]

Palmer catching that fireball to the face from 5 yards away is pretty impressive.

 

[travdogg]

Also, as much as I think hits like James just did should be illegal, I think there is certainly an argument another person at fault is Foles.

Wow, Aikman basically just said what I was thinking. Not sure how I feel about that.

Lott was a cruise missile man. A man’s man as far as toughness, grit and being a gamer….oh did I just glorify football players who played in the golden age of the NFL? Is that now frowned upon?

 

[ComfortablyNumb]

If he could have just aimed a little lower, avoiding helmets, it would have been a perfect hit - separating receiver from ball.

 

[Despyzer]

That first quarter was so awful, almost nobody got to see that trick play.

No, he was awesome then. And it’s also good the NFL is cracking down now on brain damaging hits. Why create a false dichotomy between these things?

Could still have been an unnecessary roughness penalty for hitting a defenseless receiver. Might not have been an ejection though.

 

[Gr00vus]

Ekeler owners avoiding the vulture thanks to the colts timeout.

 

[The_Man]

I feel like Allen could possibly have stayed in bounds there

 

[Gr00vus]

Way to not get open charger receivers.

Not by me

 

[Dez]

These teams taking their defensive timeouts in these situations to end the half are just gifting the offense to not have to hurry and allowing them to run at will since they never have to use their own. Considering how terrible Colts offense has been I would think you just want to run out the clock and hope you hold them to a FG. If you get the ball back heck you could go 3 and out and give them chance for more pts.

I don’t disagree….I was
Just being sarcastic. There is no place for dirty hits.

 

[togo]

Herbert has thrown 2 TD passes in the last 4 games.
(3 1/2)
I need him to throw at least 3 tonight.
Realistic?

 

[togo]

Anyone have an Everett sighting out there??

It's not UN-realistic.

 

[TeeDub]

Deon Jackson hurt, or Jeff Saturday doesn’t like him??

Saving him for the playoffs.

Exactly - Lott is my favorite player of all time. And I’m glad they’ve outlawed the leading with the helmet/defenseless receiver.

Also Lott is a tough SOB (cut it off!) and a genuinely nice human when I met him.

My IDP redraft league is named after him.

 

[The_Man]

I have watched so much football over the last 5 days that I can scarcely comprehend the Jags-Jets game took place during the same week of games that is still ongoing

 

[Hot Sauce Guy]

Deon Jackson hurt, or Jeff Saturday doesn’t like him??

It’s killin me.

I only need a few points from him in the loser bowl.

 

[Gr00vus]

Given that the chargers are incapable of scoring in the third quarter, it'll have to be a heck of a fourth.

 

[Gr00vus]

Weren't the broadcasters talking about him being in the doghouse due to fumbling last week?

 

[Runkle]

Deon Jackson hurt, or Jeff Saturday doesn’t like him??

Unconfirmed report on Twitter is that Deon and Saturday got into a screaming match over playing time earlier this week. Take it with a grain of salt.

I didn’t hear anyone say it tonight, but some folks were saying it here.

Huh... never noticed that. Yep, they've been shut out in the 3rd quarter in half their games this year and have never scored more than once in that quarter in any game.

 

[Gr00vus]

Please do something positive with this opening drive for once this season. Please.

 

[lsufan]

I need 5 points from Ekeler in the 2nd half to make my fantasy playoffs finals.

 

[Gr00vus]

Great start.

 

[The_Man]

Herbert’s arm is ridiculous. Reminds me of Marino. Throws lasers but they are somehow very catchable despite the velocity

 

[Gr00vus]

Another empty opening 3rd quarter drive, predictably pathetic. They should never defer again.

 

[irish eyes]

I need 5 points from Ekeler in the 2nd half to make my fantasy playoffs finals.

I would not feel confident when idiot Staley has Kelley in on every 3rd down. It's so bizarre

 

[Hot Sauce Guy]

I’ll bet the over.

 

[Dez]

Ryan, Ehlinger, Foles who got next ?

 

[Gr00vus]

Thank the flying spaghetti monster for Nick Foles.

 

[dickey moe]

This game has AIDS.

 

[Insein]

Foles trying to break Mannings Other record. 6 INTs in a game. Which ironically was also Colts vs Chargers.

 

[Hot Sauce Guy]

You can’t attempt that throw in the NFL

 

[Despyzer]

Aikman makes a good point. Colts are averaging over 5 yards a carry tonight and the Chargers give up more yards per carry than any other team. It's a one-score game, why has Indy only ran nine times tonight?

 

[FreeBaGeL]

They didn't even dress Matt Ryan?

LOL Saturday was even worse than the joke that was anticipated.

 

[Insein]

I would have kicked the FG. 10 point lead against Colts.might as well be 30
