    trivia:

     

    Favre's last pass as a Falcon = pick

    Favre's last pass as a Packer = pick

    Favre's last pass as a Jet = illegal forward pass, but the one before that was a pick

    Favre's last pass as a Viking = pick

     

    He should retire now with his record intact.  Or work a trade back to the Jets to erase that one blemish. 

     That's pretty telling right there. And now we get to listen to another 7 fucking months of whether he's retiring again crap.Oh boy.

     

     

      I think the NFL should adopt the "name that tune" method.  Saints say they can score from the 20.  The Vikings say they can from the 15.  Saint say they can from the 12.  Childress then says "prove it" and the OT begins with the Saints having the ball on the 12. 

       

      Really that makes as much sense as any system.  In a defensive battle maybe 40 is the winning "bid".  In a game like the NFC championship game or the Packers-Cardinals game you might have the winning bidder starting inside their own 15.

        I think Haile would have run a 2:05:22.14 if he had slept on his back instead of his belly before Dubai.

         

        If he had slept on his side he would have gone 2:05:01.34.

         

         

        We love to Monday morning QB, but who knows.  The way the Vikings were bumbling the ball and the Saints couldn't move it, it's hard to say who deserved to win less or what would have happened if a play or two changed.

          I think just a coin toss is good enough to decide the winner. No need to play any more.

            did anyone else think the Colts TD (3rd Qtr, 4 yd pass to Garcon) was an incomplete pass? Watching the replay I thought his second foot did not touch and the Jets could have successfully challenged. It was the go-ahead score to make it 20-17 at the time. Yet no challenge.

             

            Probably wouldn't have changed the final outcome but a stop there might have slowed momentum. Combine that and the late Colts score at the end of the first half - the Jets were looking at a sizeable lead going deep into the second half.

             

            Oh well.

              I hate the NFL Overtime format, but it's like any other "tie-breaker" scenario.  If the team didn't want be at the mercy of a tie-breaker, a wacky overtime format, or a couple of bad calls by a ref, there's a simple solution:  beat the snot out of your opponent.

               

              If the teams are so evenly that a coin-flip matters, then every little play [like the Farve-Peterson fumble] probably has as huge of an impact on the outcome of the game.

                  Yes.  And not only was there no challenge but no discussion from the announcers.  Honestly it looked like it wasn't even that close.

                       Nope. Looked good in RT and on replay to me.

                       

                      and didn't the Jets miss another FG early in the 3rd which could have stopped the bleeding?

                        I could have used another angle, but it appeared to me his trail foot dragged atop his first foot down. Catch was good possession-wise, it was the foot at issue.

                          Here's a question that may as well be posted here.  At least twice in the Colts/Jets game (once on the goal line before they did an unsuccessful QB sneak) the Colts rushed to the line in order to catch the Jets either offsides or not ready on the line.  But the official is just standing there over center not letting them hike the ball.  The time on the goal line, Manning easily would have made his sneak if they let him run the play.  It didn't seem right.  It seems like you shouldn't HAVE to let the other team get ready on the line or complete their substitutions, as long as the guys with the chains are ready and the ball is spotted you should be able to run a play (Obviously it's what Manning was trying to do).  Does anyone know this rule?

                            I didn't see or don't remember the exact play but as long as the defense is making a good faith effort to get onsides the offense is not allowed to rush to the line and snap the ball to try and trap them offsides.

                              Not so much about onsides as it is about subbing guys on and off the field.  They talk all the time about the games that go on with the no huddle offense, and that one of the goals is to get the defense trapped in packages that are advantageous to the offense.  I think I remember this from Pats/Jets a few years ago when Mangini and his front 7 all standing around the line rather than setting.  I think it may have been that same game where there was a Jet sprinting off the field to get out of the play, the Pats snapped and ran a play, and then BB chllenged that the Jet was still in bounds for 12 men on the field.  Replay showed he still had one foot on the field and they called 12 men.  Why was Brady allowed to snap the ball in that situation and Manning wasn't?

                               

                              The Manning play I'm referring to on the goal line was similar.  It's not that the Jets were offsides, it's that they were substituting and not set on the line.  He could have just snapped and pretty much walked in, which is obviously what he wanted (otherwise no way they call a sneak on that play IMO).  It's not the offense's problem that the defense isn't ready to play.

                                Substitutions are different--you don't have to let the defense substitute.  But if there is a play downfield and 300 lb. defensive lineman are sprawled all over the ground back at the line of scrimmage you have to allow them to get onsides.  Usually this means they have at least be running to get into position.
