Biggest Embarrassments of Wk. 1

[CC.SD]

Wait until tonight when T.O. realizes he is a Bill. Not that I don't love the Bills.

Jason Campbell running past the LOS and throwing and int instead of just running for the first down

yyyeaaaaaahhhhh... about that.... the interception just adds to it

[TitleTown088]

How bout a little more optimism

They're raider fans. They're fresh out of optimism.

yyyeaaaaaahhhhh... about that.... the interception just adds to it

it does and honorable mention to jason campbells audible to a run off tackle on 3rd and 8 with 9 men in the box

Cincy imo. that was horrible.

I disagree. It's not that embarrassing to have a ball bounce in a different direction. We kept their offense down all game (both their field goals were 45+ yards, so it's not like they were driving down the field on us). And offensively we had a little rust, but Palmer did everything perfectly on his last drive going 6 for 6.

Playing extremely well on defense for 4 quarters (including that last play when Orton threw a pass into triple coverage) & then playing strong offensively at the end of the game is not that embarrassing to me, but I'll probably just be called a homer anyways.

How about the Rams blocking a FG and running it back for a TD towards the end of the 1st half? Only it was determined through a booth review they had 12 players on the field and not the typical 12 player penalty either where a player didn't make it off the field. They had 11 along the line and 1 in the secondary. The TD would have tied the game at 7 going into the half but instead it gave Seattle a first down and they scored a TD with 10 seconds left in the half to take a 14-0 lead into the half.

But hey, I'm not complaining.

Lol that sucks. For STL I mean, obviously it worked out well for your team. I wonder who screwed up.

The penalties that stalled the Rams offense when it was actually driving (And there were about 7 of them that put us into 2nd and long, and 3rd and long). I am willing to bet that our average 2nd and ...., also 3rd and... was atleast 11 yards (2nd and 11, 3rd and 11+)

Kyle Orton.

Yeah, that killed you guys. Don't forget about Richie Incognito (probably the most ironic name in the history of the NFL).

[LonghornsLegend]

Winner.


What's the O-lineman's name that got owned? That's grown man ish right there.

I agree, and there is hardly anything embarrassing about losing the way the Bengals did.

There are some teams, however, who looked like D2 schools yesterday. The Bengals weren't one of them though.

Trust me, I know. I'm not saying you guys didn't play good. Because Carlson played great, and Hasselback bounced back very well from those early interceptions.

But I believe the game would have been closer if those flags didn't keep stalling us, and putting us into long downs.
