The OT: Early Games

It's been a hectic couple of days for me, between buying and moving into a house.  It took me about 2 hours to manage to get connected to the internet this morning and still I have no wireless.  Damn it all to hell.

Still, I'll find time to watch football today and maybe even chat on here a bit.  I'm keeping a keep eye on the Broncos/Redskins game just in case.

Chat away.  A Chargers/Eagles specific thread will be up later.

I think we should be rooting for the Steelers to win thte AFC North.

Given that they’ve already got a tie-breaker over us, it’ll be harder for us to beat them out for a wild card. We still have a game to play against Cincy.

We're boned.

17-14 Denver at halftime

Not too bad.

Let’s go REDSKINS!!

Denver up 17-14.

Not nearly as bad as I expected.

We're boned.

It was

and they hurt Orton. Simms can only help our cause, right?

Washington has the ball

but Chris Simms was on the sideline with his helmet on getting handshakes from teammates.

Idon't think Simms would be nearly as efficient as Orton.

Who actually has winning seasons to his credit.

Kory Sperry

making big plays for the Dolphins.

Called it. That guy has huge talent. Wish he would’ve cleared waivers.

Looks like Simms is playing

While I don’t wish harm on Orton, this is good news for people who want to see a Denver loss.

Denver is getting run on.

Oh and Washington has terrible playcalling. Seriously. 4th and a foot, go straight forwards.

We're boned.

HELP!!!

PEOPLE!! I need your help. Fox, in their infinite wisdom, is showing the Cowboy/Packer game here in L.A. at 1:00pm instead of the Bolts. WHERE CAN I WATCH A STREAM OF THE GAME ONLINE WITHOUT GIVING UP A CREDIT CARD NUMBER???? Please help. Thanks.

Is that what your DVR says

Or what tvguide.com/listings says?

I’ve found that the dvr is usually wrong, if there’s a difference between the two

There are a lot of Cowboys fans in L.A……

Fox 11 in LA is showing Cowboys Packers.

They never show Chargers games. You guys need to check into this.

Why did Washington take a time-out then?

So they could kick the FG

Broncos have No Timeouts.

Can't you kick the FG without the t/o?

You can punt without a t/o, but does it take too long to get the FG squad on the field?

Usually they will run as much time as possible off the clock, then call timeout to kick the FG. That way you run all the time off but don’t have to rush.

FINISH

Aha

Now that makes sense, ta for the explanation.

No, just to bleed time off the clock.

With less than two minutes left and Denver out of time outs, the Redskins want to take as much time off the clock as possible before kicking the FG and giving the ball back to the Denver offense.

In that situation, since they have a time out to spare, it makes sense to let the clock run down and call a time out when the play clock is just about to hit zero. If they just kicked, they would end up leaving a couple more seconds on the clock. The difference might be just a couple of seconds, but it makes sense when you’re trying to safely eat up time.
