***Raiders/Pats Game Thread***

[Shotgun Dave]

Tim Dwight just ran back a punt and was CLEARLY horse collared. Did they throw a flag? Of course not - they're waiting for Dallas to do it first!

:bang2:

 

[SteveOS]

That's EXACTLY what I was saying. If Roy does that, there are 6 flags on the field.

 

[JonJon]

..And he held on until Dwight was all the way down....THEN he let go... sure looked like the definition of the Horse Collar rule to me...

Horse Collar = BS

 

[austintodallas]

C'mon guys, there's a reason they call it the "Roy Williams" rule...only Roy Williams will be called for it!

That was completely blatant. I definitely see why Parcells is concerned about the consistency with which this rule is enforced.

 

[dargonking999]

Guys do you know how hard it is being an NFL refree? Imean jeez this rule hasnt even really been in effect a game, we havent got called for it, and alot of other teams, havent gotten called for it, it's not a common tackle, let the refs alone, they are still humans

 

[JonJon]

You couldn't miss that one... I saw at least two refs about 5 yards from the incident. But I'm pretty sure that most refs don't know the true definition, therefore they will save their best judgement for Roy Williams...

 

[Dallas]

Amazing - You might not like the guy but you can never ever ever take away from his talent. He just flat out beats people. Still kicking us over not taking him.

 

[Danny White]

The Vikings are sooo stupid.

Troy Williamson and Nate Burleson go their entire careers without making a touchdown like that.

Thank God that guy is out of the NFC. I'm just mad we still have to face him this year.

 

[TheDuke]

guy has major skills....still the most dangerous weapon in football

 

[dargonking999]

That was nice concentration by moss, bad defense by the Pats, they are looking real sloppy, on D, off is what holding them in there

 

[Nors]

Brady a much more dangerous weapon

 

[austintodallas]

Agreed jdub. If you don't call that one when are you gonna call it???

More importantly, did you guys see that catch by Moss. He is still sick! Hands down better than TO in my opinion. We play the Raiders week 5. Time for Henry to earn that signing bonus!

It's obvious many of us are watching the game. Post your thoughts here. Afterwards, it will be moved to the NFL Zone.

 

[Duane]

The Raiders better hope they can out score poeple this year because their defense is horrible.

 

[DipChit]

And N.E's O-line is even a more dangerous weapon. With the time they give the QB, even you could do what Brady does, Nors.

What game are you watching? The NE D is far from looking sloppy. Its Moss. Just throw the ball up in the air and he goes n gets it. Hard to defend that w/o interfering w/ him blatantly.

Yes mother.

I agree with the Dragon here. I think the Pats defense is looking a bit shakey. It's not just Moss, although, they have blown some coverages there and missed tackles. Watch the running game as well. Jordan is getting yards.

I agree. But I think both D's are kinda stinking it up. Neither is really stopping the other from doing what they want to do.


And that Lamont Jordan is pretty good. Dude, got some moves.

You dont think Lamont is good enough to get his own yards? I certainly do.
