Jeff Porter's Football Talk

[CheeseheadEarl]

From someone who was there, it was awesome. Hard to hold the card up and get a pic, so I don't have one from my seat. Note that the pics above in Lock's post are from '11. This is one of those things that keep recirculating around the interwebz.

I had a blast, could have saved $60 or so on fuel in an Elio, but I'd have had to leave 2 friends home.

It was a wee bit nippy, but not bad cold. I've been bad cold there before.

Here's a pic from just after Jordy's long TD in the beginning of Q2, wasn't fast enough with the phone camera to get it in progress.

Oh you lucky devil Earl! That's awesome you got to go to the game. I would love to go to a game there some day, and I will make it happen.

Interesting point about driving to a football game. Very few vehicles would have 1 or 2 people in it, so the Elio would've had to stay home anyway.

Great pic of a Green Bay TD. Go Pack!

Duke just dropped a 1 point decision to Va Tech .... this was the first Duke game that I remember seeing where Coach Cutcliffe was out coached

how 'bout Bama taking Miss State 25 - 20 .... that may move the Tide into the top 4 and knock the Bulldogs out

11-16-14 .... Pats at Colts .... Luck's 0 - 2 against the Pats ... they predict a high scoring game ... hopefully it will be an interesting one

Dang right! While it's true that any division game can be won by either team, I think Pitt will win easily.

Ok, let's tackle Week 11 of duh NFL...

Colts score at the end of the first half to pull within 14-10 of the Patriots, but after that, it was aaaalll New England. Pats had 33 first downs and were 9-12 on third down conversions. They were awesome. 501 yds of total offense. Det, @ GB, @ SD, Miami. Tough little 4-game stretch coming up for the Patriots. Of course, I thought Indy would be a tough game. And Denver in the game before that. :-)

Philly at Green Bay. My goodness. 30-6 at half. It was 39-6 at one point in the 3rd qtr. Eagles ran up some yds, but it was never as close as the 52-20 score shows. Eagles had too many turnovers (4), and penalties (6). 5-15 on third down. Rogers had an amazing game, Cobb and Nelson were two-thirds of those passing yds, they had 10 and 4 catches respectively. If Sanchez is good in Philly's next game, we'll give him a pass in this one. If he's not good in their next game, hosting Tennessee, then Philly will have to scratch for a wildcard spot in the NFC.

Arizona just keeps on keeping on, beating a good Detroit team in AZ, 14-6. Det had Calvin Johnson in this one, but he had 5 catches for 59 yds. You can beat Detroit if you hold Johnson to that. Again, a team like Det goes 5-15 on third down, you just can't score pts doing that. AZ defense is excellent. I believe you have your NFC West division winner there, already. Stanton did throw 2 INTs for the Cards, but their defense shut down the Lions. AZ might be able to win with me playing QB.

Poh Raiders. They lose 13-6 to the Chargers. Oakland is gonna win one game sometime soon, hope it's not next week against my Chiefs. In this game, neither the Chargers nor Raiders could get a first down. Both teams had a lot of penalties. Oak had one turnover, SD none. Rivers completed 22 passes for only 180 yds. Wow. If Alex Smith did that, they'd call him a good game manager. LOL.

The Bears get back into the win column with a scintillating 21-13 win over the Vikings. Bears were down 10-0 after the 1st qtr, then outscored Minn 21-3. The Bears overcame Cutler's 2 INTs, as Minn was 2-11 on third down. The Bears rolled up 468 yds, how did they only score 21? Forte had a great game, ran for 117.

Once again, we are left wondering how good are the Browns. They let Houston come to town and thump 'em, 23-7. Yes, Watt is the flavor-of-the-year this year, as he makes sacks, scores defensive touchdowns, bats passes down, and now he's caught 2 offensive TDs when he lines up as a TE, AND in this game as a WR. Wow is right. Hoyer was 20-50 in passing. That ain't gonna get it done, son. Clev had 2 turnovers, 8 penalties, and was 3-15 on 3rd down. Houston runs for 213 yds. Arian who? Alfred Blue, 36 rushes, 156 yds. Nice!

My Chiefs got the first score in their game hosting the Seahawks, but man it was back and forth after that. 7-7, 14-7 KC, then 14-13 at end of half. Seattle took the lead at 20-17 at end of 3rd qtr, and KC scores 2 minutes of clock time later to lead 24-20, and they stopped Seattle on 4th downs after that.

Seattle elected to go for it on 4th and goal at the KC 2 with 7:11 left in the game, down 4 pts. YES, Seattle has Marshawn Lynch, and YES at the time he was being his usual beast self. It was one of those defining moments for a team's season. YES, KC had just gone 4 plays in 71 yds to get a TD, but Sea could've kicked a FG and pulled to within 1. They would later get to the KC 36, it was cold there, but could've kicked a 54 yd FG for the lead with 3:38 to go. So on that 4th and 2, they throw a fade pass to the left... incomplete. Yes, there was a lot of game to go, but that's my point. I'd be an upset Seattle fan right now. Jamaal Charles runs for 159 for KC. He is so fast!!

St. Louis welcomed the Broncos to town, and look out now... the Rams handed them their lunch. Yes, it was 13-7 Rams at the half, and 16-7 Rams at the end of the 3rd. But DANG, how about that Rams defense. Denver was 4-12 on 3rd down, Manning threw 2 INTs, Denver had 8 penalties, Manning was sacked twice. Denver couldn't run the ball... 28 yds of rushing. Rams were turnover free, only had 3 penalties, Shaun Hill had a good game, and they did enough on offense to win. Denver has now lost 2 of last 3 *gasp*.

More later!
