Ndamukong Suh wants a meeting with the commissioner to clarify what the commissioner means by "kick" and "nuts".

It's really an honest misunderstanding.

His coach came to him and said "Suh! Go in there and get a sack!" and so that's what he did.

Also, JJ Watt took a shot at Matthew Stafford very similar to Nick Perry's shot to Andrew Luck. Watt definitely had his facemask on Stafford's chest while Perry's head was dipped a little lower (top of facemask and edge of helmet on chest) but Watt slid up Stafford after impact as Perry did to Luck and gave a clear top of the helmet hit to Stafford's helmet.

Should have been a flag and should also elicit a fine.

*SNIP*

This may be the single funniest thing I've ever seen in a football game.

And the Jets continue to self destruct their way to a new coach. Maybe they should play Tebow?

I think Tebow has a couple broken ribs but yes, the Jets really suck.

Oh just heard on the tele, Schwartz screwed his team! What a dolt! His stupid image of being a badass and getting angry screwed himself and his team. What an idiot.

Let us not forget that it was Schvantz, in the SF game last year, who admonished the opposing coach to "know the rules."

I actually feel kind of bad for Tony Romo. He was never great, at times he has been good, but the greatness and expectations of being the Dallas Cowboys QB has been way to much for him. Watching him after an INT, it's like he's thinking "what do you guys expect from me?"

Even before he ever threw a pass folks were declaring him the next great cowgirl QB. He isn't bad but there was a reason why he wasn't drafted...

Lololololololol

I actually felt bad for Sanchez here...

When the NFL announced they would automatically review scoring plays they also announced the result if a coach threw a challenge flag anyway. I remember discussing it at the time, here or somewhere else.

I think there was also some talk about penalties for challenging other plays that are not reviewable. Coaches have been "picking up" challenge flags for years, after the refs explain that a particular play can not be challenged. This slows down the game, and some felt it was a tactic used by some coaches to disrupt momentum, give their team a breather, or just take a moment to regroup.

The NFL decided it was time for coaches to know the rules and suffer consequences when they don't. I don't have a problem with that. I think assessing a penalty for it is totally appropriate. I'm not quite sure that it makes sense to deny a team the opportunity to benefit from review for challenging an automatically reviewed scoring play. I am unable to come up with any reason for that result.

The best line of yesterday's games was when the fans in the stands were calling for Tebow Jim Nantz on the broadcast said Sanchez might be calling for Tebow now too.

It makes sense; I could mention quite a few nfl coaches that would go "Argentinian" with the red flag. Good rule & Schvantz deserved the non review!

Romo is simply asked to do too much with not enough talent.

If you are talking about Romo's talent, then I agree with you.
