That should be a penalty on Harris, you can't call for a fair catch than block like that.

2 weeks in a row he has gotten away with it.

I don't know of any rule prohibiting blocking there but I could be wrong.

We should have signed him

We never used him right so it would've been pointless.

 

[Direwolf63]

Surprised they aren't calling that a catch for Beckham

Is that really a rule? I have seen it so much..

Lions got the Giants right where they want em.

The rule is

However, if a player signals for a fair catch, he may not block or initiate contact with any player on the kicking team until the ball touches a player. Penalty: snap 15 yards. If ball hits ground or is touched by member of kicking team in flight, fair catch signal is off and all rules for a kicked ball apply.

Harris did the same thing vs Dallas last week.

They added this rule a few years back.

Penalty: 15 yards from spot of foul and fair catch is awarded. A player who signals for a fair catch is not required to catch the ball. However, if a player signals for a fair catch, he may not block or initiate contact with any player on the kicking team until the ball touches a player

I'm not sure their salary situation but they still have to pay Assweiler I think 17 million next year, not sure if they'll have cap room for Romo if he wants a big contract. They may just go with Savage anyway.

I don't think Romo is going to command a big contract if he goes somewhere else. He wants to win in this late stage of his career. I think he takes a team friendly deal

Minnesota with the pick giving colts fg range with 19 second before half haha only bad thing about that is Philly gets their first. Bradford throws all his picks on the wrong side of the field

 

[Elusive6thRing]

Tyreke Hill, best playmaker in the NFL?

 

[The Dark Bishop]

Looks like the Bears and GB are tied at halftime.... Not bad....

 

[gmoney112]

Obviously Houston's kicker has 29 points last two weeks, I pick him up, Houston doesn't even show up.

hhaha

I was teasing Prime lol

But if anything to keep him away from the giants. I hate that they have him.

 

[Jake]

Vikings are imploding. They're done.

 

[Jinxx13x]

24-0 Colts LOL

I guess peterson's return boosted the wrong team

DOH

Edit Bradford Pick

Now 27-0 LOL

 

[DallasCowboys2080]

Lions got the Giants right where they want em.

How so? Not watching game. Can u elaborate what's going on?

Just a joke, Giants are winning 10-3 but almost every Lions win is a comeback in the 4th quarter.

 

[Irvin88_4life]

I like Wentz and I like Dak, but Wentz does have the better arm but it doesn't mean much if you don't have the brain or the coaching staff to help it's a waste. I was just making an observation about the skill players on the eagles

The skill players aren't the issue. They have some talent, not great but still good enough but yet excuse after excuse for Wentz. You're right about the brains but I would add he had bad habits and he won't change neater he doesn't believe it's a problem

 

[ghst187]

So much for APs impact and him coming back to boost the Vikings into the playoffs....
