Week 8 NFL Games

[Uncle Rico]

Well, thanks redskins. It was fun while it lasted.

 

[Nordberg]

I stepped away for a minute. I see Denver scored. Let me guess another "pick play"?

 

[Bella*chick]

Another blatant pick play for a TD. I don't undderstand how they continue to get away with it.

My husband is sitting here yelling the same thing.

 

[Uncle Rico]

For those asking:

Mike Pereira ?@MikePereira 1m
The picks were legal in the DEN touchdown. They weren't more than 1 yard downfield.

Oh.

 

[PatsBoy12]

thank you redskins. now bracing for all the manning greatness columns and shows

It aint over 'til it's over, my friend. I'm still hoping my great day continues - Pats come from behind to win, Jets get treated like a JV team, and Redskins beat Broncos.

Yep, a pick play

 

[PatsBoy12]

Why would the receiver only reach back with one hand? It was thrown behind him, but you've got to make a better adjustment than that in a game this important.

 

[PatsBoy12]

Why are the Broncos treating this like they have to score in a hurry? Why? Run the damn ball.

 

[Bella*chick]

Redskins blowing it. Bummer.

 

[Archeryaddict12]

Because manning has to get his TD passes.

 

[SVN]

redskins might get blown out with 14 mins left...they offense has shut down

 

[YearbookCurfew]

Can someone explain what a "pick play" is? I've never heard of it before.

 

[Uncle Rico]

Looked a bit like Broncos defender's grill hit RGIII's.

Nice punt.

 

[Ozymandias]

Redskins doing what they do best: combust.

 

[FrodoBagginz]

At least there is still hope for the usual 4th quarter interception by Manning.

 

[YearbookCurfew]

Man, I sure am glad we don't have that punter.

The receiver blocks the defender following the other receiver. Making the receiver wide open.

 

[PatsBoy12]

So your D gives up two fourth-down conversions and a score. They're gassed. What does Shanahan and his staff do? They call three straight passing plays in a game where your running backs are getting all kinds of yards on the ground. Then, to make matters extremely worse, your punter shanks it and gives Peyton Manning prime field position. I'm just going to go ahead and say it now - Broncos 28 Redskins 21. There's almost no way the Broncos fail to score here, IMHO.

The receiver blocks the defender following the other receiver. Making the receiver wide open.

Thanks! That makes sense.

Can someone tell me why the Redskins approached that drive like they were down by three TDs?
