Don't you need two more of these for us to be Denarded?
Ugh, I made myself sad, and I should feel bad.

Is it just me or does Norv Turner's neck look like a meticulously crafted mosaic of skin? Chargers pressers must be rather distracting if you're in the front rows, having to look at that.
Also, I would like to extend special recognition to Alex Henery for being the Eagles' offense today, and all in one quarter at that. Truly, a mammoth effort to get into FG range twice today.
September 23rd, 2012 at 8:18 PM ^
No dog in the fight, but definitely psyched for this matchup between two of the best in the NFL.
Will be interesting to see obvious matchup between Raven's D and Pat's O

FML as i type this they showed highlights of Michale Floyd's first NFL TD and Rudolph coming up big for the Vikings. Make it stop!!!!

bro it up

Not to sound harsh, but how many people can you honor before the start of a football game... and really honor them? A player's brother, Sabol, a Mexican flag football team, and I don't know who else. Give one of them the spotlight and don't dilute the honor.
The introduction was extremely gaudy and unnecessary, no matter how attractive the woman singing might be.
The guitar-strumming national anthem singer was great. Kept it simple and didn't try to stand out.

Quick whistle by the amateur referees. The NFL rules and referees continue to embarass themselves. Let the boys play.
It appears that Brady was thinking about his wife during the snap, missed it completely.
And still thinking during the sack...
Great kick by Mesko, poor coverage.

I think this is a big game for Brady and the Pats. Yes, it's early in the season, but you have to wonder if the Pats run in the top tier is wearing thin after last week's loss.

gets tackled with a punch in the face, but no penalty?
September 23rd, 2012 at 8:45 PM ^
with shot to the head - no call. Pats settle for field goal 3-0 in first.
September 23rd, 2012 at 8:46 PM ^
That guy can still lay the wood.

Flacco threw a beautiful pass to Steve Gregory of the Patroits. Really superb except for the wrong team aspect.
...and the Patroits turn it into points. It will be 7-0 Patroits after the PAT.
September 23rd, 2012 at 9:02 PM ^
Sorry about that...between putting kids to bed and wondering if the replacement refs are going to control the game with polite suggestions for behavioral adjustment, I missed the first FG somehow.
September 23rd, 2012 at 8:57 PM ^
September 23rd, 2012 at 9:08 PM ^
I could be wrong, but the it looked like the line judge was setting up for a good block on the last play. If they are going to officiate passively, this could be useful later.
Also, in a silent tribute to vintage character actors, the referee bears a resemblance to Ray Walston.
September 23rd, 2012 at 9:09 PM ^
Penalty for playing too rough, on the Ravens. Now flags out the wazoo. The referees are going to get flag happy here, mark my words.
~Herm
September 23rd, 2012 at 9:29 PM ^
...and Bill Belichick will probably want to take this to the Maryland Court Of Appeals, seeing as these are replacement referees and not necessarily experts in their field.

"Art" patches for the Real Browns / Ravens. CLE betrayal not pictured.
September 23rd, 2012 at 9:35 PM ^
calls as they go. This game has been poorly officiated. The ref's seem to be intimidated by the home team or something.
September 23rd, 2012 at 9:35 PM ^
Honestly, I get that they aren't as good as the actualy NFL refs, but I think people whine about them waaaay too much. Especially the announcers (not just this game but many NFL games). I tend to agree with Jerry Jones on this topic.
September 23rd, 2012 at 9:37 PM ^
They're definitely obnoxious about it, but it's interesting to see them try and intimidate them.
September 23rd, 2012 at 10:20 PM ^
September 23rd, 2012 at 9:39 PM ^
In this game the referees just stopped a NE drive and aided a Ravens drive. Momentum has now changed.
September 23rd, 2012 at 9:47 PM ^
I just turned the game on, I was more just venting from the games I've watched the last two weekends where it seems like any semi-controversial or 50/50 call is now automatically wrong and its b/c the refs are replacements according the the announcing teams.

Oh don't worry about the Browns coming to town Thursday night, Baltimore. Your third stringers and blind grandmothers can beat Weeden and Richardson just fair and square, thanks.
September 23rd, 2012 at 10:02 PM ^
Brady has 6 seconds to score. Your move, Belichick.
September 23rd, 2012 at 10:07 PM ^
September 23rd, 2012 at 10:02 PM ^
It doesn't seem like the Ravens have been able to bring pressure tonight, as evidenced by Brady nearly practicing his "gangnam" moves in the pocket a few times.
September 23rd, 2012 at 10:07 PM ^
September 23rd, 2012 at 10:17 PM ^
Brady's a pimp.
