Took me a while to figure out that Buffalo and Jax were on Yahoo. Should have put it on cable/regular tv. Video quality is inconsistent.

yep, I don't understand why they couldn't do the yahoo thing and also put it on NFL Network or another of the hundreds of channels available. I guess they were concerned that if they put it on the NFL channel, it would take away from the 8 hours of pre-game coverage they have every Sunday morning...heaven forbid.

because yahoo probably paid a shit ton of money to show the game, if its also on the NFLN, some, if not a lot of people are gonna watch it on the TV, taking away from the yahoo viewership

mccoy just got destroyed at the 1 after a great run, and fumbled the ball away

didn't look like mccoy was hurt until after he noticed the ball was lost to the jags though

Jets someone moving the ball against NE pretty well. Long clock eating drives to the point that Brady is on the sidelines warming up. Fitzpatrick (always like him) playing well, distributing the ball. Ivory looking so-so, being tentative at the line instead of plowing through like he usually does. He was on the bike after an earlier run, I'm guessing he's hurt.

I want the Vikings and the Lions both to lose today.

What a dilemma.

you want detroit to win that game, but look bad doing it.

You could watch it on nfl.com. They were streaming the game on the league's website.

I don't think it would be terrible if the loins won today. I'd rather have the Vikes knocked down a little.

Dolphins lead Texans 41-0 late in 1st half. Dolphins have 394 total yards.

Stafford isn't looking too good. Might have really F'd up his left hand.

How about Indy sucking again.....

Maybe Philbin was the problem. Or the Texans were overhyped again. Maybe if they change QBs ....

That poor Bill Belichick coaching tree.

Lions were held to something like 7 yards total after a fast start.....from start of 2nd qtr to 3 mins left in the game. Those guys looked like gangbusters then were completely shut down.

We got the Miami game (we get them all) and the Texans are terrible. If you neutralize Watt they can't do much of anything else.

Just checked some scores and Oakland is pounding San Diego. The Pack Squeaks by San Diego last week. SMH.

Any given Sunday, I guess.

Yeah, we get spoiled by the consistency of the Packers. But with some of these teams, you just have no idea what they'll do from one week to the next.

MM's isn't doing terribly well either. He's been an HC 9 years now, and has one (failed) HC from his assistants, and for all the hooply about Winston Moss, it's been much ado about nothing. I wouldn't be surprised if Edgar Bennett gets some attention though.

Makes me think that Rivers ain't nothin' but a stud.

It also makes Damarious Randall's knockdown on the flat pass to Woodhead an even a bigger play.

That kid is solid & will be great.

Colts lead AFC South with a record of 3-4. They still have games left with Panthers, Broncos, Falcons, Steelers and Dolphins. 7-9 probably wins that division.

i bet the people in england are real impressed by how many tv timeouts we can cram into a game, especially when none of their games have commercial breaks

and the fact that we have tv timeouts when the game isn't even on TV

One positive feature of the broadcast is that there will be 7 to 8 fewer minutes of advertising than a traditional game.

because yahoo probably paid a shit ton of money to show the game, if its also on the NFLN, some, if not a lot of people are gonna watch it on the TV, taking away from the yahoo viewership

Yahoo! paid a reported $20 million for the rights to live stream the game (on both Yahoo.com and Tumblr) across the world in an event the NFL and the advertising world will be monitoring closely. If Yahoo! gets the kind of viewership it hopes, live streaming could become a fixture in NFL broadcasting. Next year, the Thursday night slate of games CBS is currently broadcasting is up for grabs and Yahoo! or someone else could purchase the rights if the payoff is good enough. According to Adweek, Yahoo! sold out all of its advertising, but one report said it had to lower its ad rates drastically to do so. Still, the broadcast will be available to more than 1 billion monthly users.

Carolina doesn't have a dynamic offense, but they can run the ball versus almost any front. You can pass rush them though.

Kuechly is hurt. Not sure it matters.

I have a feeling that team is reeling after losing some of their games the way they have this season. Last Sunday's game could have been the straw that broke the camel's back.

They are getting by with their defense. Just like Denver. These next 2 games are going to be huge for us.

Carolina looks more dynamic than Denver on offense. They have three things Denver doesn't have: an offensive line, a running game and a QB with a strong arm. They just don't have any receivers other than Olsen.

Not the greatest viewing experience with Yahoo. I hope they don't do it again. The only thing I could see as an advantage for streaming this game on Yahoo is that because it was so early people stuck at church being bored out of their skulls could sit back and enjoy something.

Still shake my head every time I hear Olsen's name, and try to figure why Chicago let him go.

I think that trade is a great example of the difference that staff continuity makes for a pro football team. They got rid of Olsen when Martz was the OC because Martz's offense doesn't utilize the TE in its passing scheme. As a receiving threat but not a blocker, Olsen's skills were going to be wasted in the Martz offense. But then two years later Martz is a flop and he's gone, and you wish you had Olsen back. To be fair, the Bears turned the pick they got for Olsen into a great receiver (traded for Brandon Marshall) and they found another TE who has turned out to be just as good or better than Olsen. But to me the moral of the story is that when you switch head coaches and coordinators every few years you're going to find yourself with a lot of extraneous pieces and parts in the personnel department, and that's not an efficient way to build a team.

The problem against the Chargers wasn't really the defense, it was the offense not being able to get first downs and eat clock. That's on Rodgers. Carr >> Rodgers. Carr would have won that game against Seattle in the NFCC game last year.

That sounds about right. With respect to "they got another TE who could be better" comment though, I don't know if I count that as a win. There are enough holes to fill, and not enough draft choices to fill them. You can't go giving away young starters for 3rd round picks!

It completely changed the end of the game. A lot of FF fans who had Baltimore's kicker suddenly were out of luck.

The blocked punt then altered the betting situation a good deal.
