Wow - Mike Tomlin just basically bullied @billbarnwell into writing a "Bad Coaching Decision" blog post tomorrow.

And that bad decision was "trusting Shaun Suisham from 54 yards," which should be done approximately never. (Titans 26, Steelers 23)
Signal Finder: DET @ PHI, NE @ SEA, BUF @ AZ (end) NYG @ SF, MIN @ WAS (end)
Nice runback, Jacoby Jones. Now why did you bring it out from eight yards deep in the end zone in the first place? Felix Jones lives! Wasn't that the same play as the touchdown pass? And Dez caught that one and dropped this one? Wild. They got the onside kick! What in the name of... why would you throw a quick slant there? Why not go farther down the field? What is it lately with these coaches asking their kickers to try ridiculously long field goals? The Cowboys deserved this loss just for that. (Ravens 31, Cowboys 29)
I'm Sorry You Had To See That: Buccaneers 38, Chiefs 10
Somebody screwed up that snap and it wasn't Michael Vick. That's a big pass interference penalty. Touchdown. Seems like the Eagles have been running fewer screens since Vick took over. No Jason Peters is probably a factor there also. Security let Ricky Watters in? Wow. Eagles have come out with a good drive here. Celek needs to catch that. It occurs to me that that's the first time I've heard Calvin Johnson's name mentioned, and it's for arguing for a pass interference call after the ball was past him. Get up, LeSean. Please? Bryce Brown's done more to help the Eagles this year than Ronnie Brown did all of last year. And McCoy's back in. That's a forward pass. That's a touchy flag right there.
Call wasn't illegal contact -- it was pass interference. Ball clearly still in Vick's hand. I dunno...

These field goals bug me. So apparently Cox punched the guy on the extra point and that's why he got tossed. Oh, Vick. That should have been a touchdown. Big stop on 3rd down there. Maclin! That's how you beat this team, and especially today when the running game hasn't worked at all. This game has suddenly gone completely off the rails, and it's coincided with Megatron finally getting on them. Tony Scheffler? Why is Tony Scheffler beating anyone deep? Nice three and out, guys. sarcasm Apparently this is what the Lions do these days. Overtime? Dear Lord. What are the new rules again? Not that it'll matter if that's how you're going to start. I've been a fan of this team for about 30 years, and people who have followed it in that time have seen a lot of bad offensive line play. This game has been among the worst I've ever seen. The Eagles are now punting from about their 7-yard line and this game could be over in five plays. Well, six if you count the actual kick. (Lions 26, Eagles 23, OT)
Apparently whatever happened to the Eagles' defense in the fourth quarter made its way to Philly from Cleveland, where it had finished humiliating the Bengals. How do you give up 34 points to that collection of stiffs? (Browns 34, Bengals 24)
It's a good thing for the Redskins that 1) Griffin broke off that big run at the end, and 2) regulation isn't five minutes longer. Because without both of those conditions, they probably lose. (Redskins 38, Vikings 26)
Let's go bigger picture here: Pete Carroll knows defense. He got his first NFL head coaching job off of knowing defense. If you lined up all the USC guys he sent to the NFL, offense on one side, defense on the other, the defensive players have been better pros by a mile. That's why Brady somehow got called for intentional grounding before the half. That's why he had to throw 58 times. That's why the Pats were 1-for-6 inside the red zone. That's not why Sidney Rice was able to burn the safety on what became the game-winning touchdown (the reason for that is that Bill Belichick and Scott Pioli relied on each other more then even they realized.) The Seahawks won this game the way the Patriots used to win this game. (Seahawks 24, Patriots 23)
That's such a Cardinals way to lose. (Bills 19, Cardinals 16, OT)
This Week It Sucks To Be: 1. Alex Rodriguez; 2. Nick Swisher; 3. Dallas Reynolds; 4. Demetress Bell; 5. Philip Rivers
Ladies and gentlemen, the last 12 years of Chargers football, summed up in one game. (Broncos 35, Chargers 24)
