How are the Ravens v Bears nearly finished OT and the 49ers/skins are still in the 4th albeit 20 seconds left.

Looks like the good Cardinals offense showed up.

Happens when you run the ball as much as they have, less clock stoppage.

Taking 4 quarters, then most of OT to break 100 yards passing is impressive.

This game is fucking ridiculous.

I've never seen defenses playing so well in a game where 90 points have been scored.

[Crackleslap]

AP has 76 yards in the first quarter, that's some interesting shit.

Hahaha I just heard. 5 defensive TD's in a game between 2 teams who have neither been known for defense the past few years. Amazing.

I'll probably watch the 40 min broadcast of this game, cause it sounds bonkers.

Going to be interesting to see who wants the first overall pick first the most, 49ers or Giants

Giants. 49'ers have lost by 2 and 3 points in all their games and have looked competitive. Giants have just sucked and have all their important players injured.

[Crackleslap]

Steelers got a safety, what?

[Northern Goblin]

Well that was a weird start to this Raiders game, welcome back Derek.

I fully expect the Giants to win tonight. It would make perfect sense with the way this season has been so far.

Niners looked competitive today again. If you're going to tank in your first rebuild year they're going about it in a pretty reassuring way.

That'd be the safe way to do it, cuz we're closing in on four hours.

[WskyDK]

Jesus. Cardinals putting on a fuckin clinic.

[draynay]

ermagerd its finally over, a winning record...

[xskarma]

Who was that that brought up Fitztragic not using his voodoo doll enough yet? Winston just went out with a (throwing) shoulder injury and is doubtful to return.

Fitztragic strikes again.

[draynay]

Was just thinking, seems strange that Ryan Fitzpatrick isn't starting yet, has his voodoo doll lost its potency or is Winston on the brink of doom?

Just call me Doomsayer.

Another special teams TD for the Rams.

[Vetali]

I just tuned in... looks like the old Alex Smith is back?

[draynay]

Finally got a chance to see the "touchback fumble".

Dick Stockton says "Jaguars" in a really annoying way.

[Grube]

I'm pretty sure the touchback fumble is the correct call based on the rule book, it is just an unlucky situation. A little surprised they overturned it, because Denver kept a TD in kind of the same situation when Watson (I think) knocked the ball out of Champ's hands on a pick return in the playoffs a few years ago.

That Watson play was the definition of a hustle play. From the other side of the field, all the way across the length of the field to save a TD.

I didn't watch Football back then, but there's a sizeable portion of the Patriots fanbase who treat that fumble as the Raiders fans treat the Tuck Rule. Just a turning point play that changed the outcome of the game had it gone differently.

I personally think that one was to close to really overturn given the call made. This Jets one was different. He clearly lost the ball and clearly didn't recover it on time to establish possession within the field of play.
