So I don't know if anyone else saw this story involving Tyrod Taylor:

This led to one of my favorite replies to this story:

No word yet on whether Dr. Nick Riviera will be soon looking for new employment.

Crazy story involving Joe Montana:

You can tell the Falcons defense is bad when they let Trubisky break off a 45 yard run basically untouched until he was tackled.

 

[Ramrod2010]

Not that it matters in this case, but I thought offensive penalties that stop the clock in the last two minutes of a half led to a 10 second run off...did that change?

 

[IlliniFaninHoosierLand]

Bears down 16-10 at half. As expected, Bears offense is gonna be able to get big plays against this Falcons defense. Bears defense is gonna need to stiffen up in the 2nd half.

Looking online, it appears that these are the ones that lead to a run-off:

-False start
-Intentional grounding
-Illegal forward pass beyond the line of scrimmage
-Throwing a backwards pass out of bounds
-Spiking or throwing the ball away after a down (unless after a touchdown)
-Any other intentional act that causes the clock to stop

Huh, interesting. Thank you!

 

[IlliniFaninHoosierLand]

Nick Foles in at QB now for the Bears.

Not sure if Trubisky is injured or not but he's not in at QB right now.

 

[IlliniFaninHoosierLand]

Huh, interesting. Thank you!

Bills have blown a 28-3 lead to the Rams and are now down 32-28 with 4:30 to go. If score holds, it will be 3rd largest comeback in NFL history.

 

[IlliniFaninHoosierLand]

Well this game just got interesting.

 

[IlliniFaninHoosierLand]

Falcons 4 minute offense consisting of throwing 3 straight passes.

 

[IlliniFaninHoosierLand]

ANTHONY MILLER TD!!!!!!!!!

 

[IlliniFaninHoosierLand]

Tayshaun Gipson with the pick!

 

[IlliniFaninHoosierLand]

Has to be the end of Trubisky as the starter I would think.

 

[IlliniFaninHoosierLand]

I will say this. Nagy seems to be a lot more willing to throw it downfield with Foles than Trubisky.

 

[champaignchris]

Wow, Falcons. Geez.

I didn’t think Foles was that much better than Trubisky, but that INT Mitch threw before being benched was inexcusable. You had to yank him after that. Foles didn’t do anything such that he won’t be starter next week.

Bears opponents so far this season are a combined 0-8, Lions game pending.

To quote a comment I just saw on Reddit, "The end of an error."

 

[skyIdub]

Falcons: "the game ends after the 3rd quarter right?"

 

[champaignchris]

Falcons: "the game ends after the 3rd quarter right?"

“We’re playing hockey rules, right?”

Foles really should have had 5 TDs if Miller was able to hang on in the endzone and the one to A-Rob didn't get overturned.

Still, he did make some big time throws and both Miller and A-Rob redeemed themselves in a big way.

I'm gonna chill on the "worst 3-0 team" talk because this was a fun win. Almost every call and bounce went against them and they still pulled it out.

Yeah this has to be the end of Mitch in Chicago unless Foles gets hurt, which is not out of the realm of possibility with his injury track record

I was watching on my phone in the middle of nowhere Texas with choppy quality so I wasn’t able to see all of the play clearly.

Was the guy who hit Cohen truly blocked into him?

Happy for Tarik he got paid before this.

 

[IlliniFaninHoosierLand]

Was the guy who hit Cohen truly blocked into him?

Yeah pretty much. I mean he was blocked and then fell into Cohen's knee.
