Talk about the rest of the week 7 NFL action here

Brett Favre called the Lions and gave them a 90 minute briefing on all of the Packers secrets and tendancies. This is just wrong but I had to laugh- I wonder why it was Detroit and not Minnesota?

Where'd you see that Dirty? I'd like to read it.

No link, they were discussing this on Fox NFL Sunday.

Apparently Jay Glazer reported it earlier today...

Think Favre has any hard feelings?

CRedskinsRule · 10-19-2008, 01:54 PM

If that's true coupled with Brett's call to Romo, sure seems like he is crossing some line. I don't know if any NFL rules have been broke. Just seems almost like tampering.

St. Louis-7 Dallas-7 1rst Quarter

GMScud · 10-19-2008, 02:25 PM

Great throw and catch from Bulger to Donnie Avery. St. Louis won the toss in this game, deferred, and Dallas marched right down and scored on the opening possession. Why would you choose to give Dallas the ball first??

You risk an early score, but if you play ball control and treat the end of the first half the same as the end of the game you can end up with back to back posessions, which equates to a turnover.

Also after the first half you've seen your opponent and can make adjustments in order to strike on that first posession after the half. If you get the chance to go up 2 scores, and succeed, it really changes the landscape of any game, no matter who scores first, because your opponent will have to start thinking about the clock if it's midway through the third quarter the first time they see the ball.

I always defer in madden for that reason.

TD Rams!

GMScud · 10-19-2008, 02:33 PM

Hell yeah St. Louis!!

53Fan · 10-19-2008, 02:33 PM

Thanks man. The way Zorn explains it, when a team defers they're betting their defense will stop you and you end up with a wasted possession. Then you get the ball to start off the second half. The Rams bet wrong. They just scored. Go Rams!

GMScud · 10-19-2008, 02:36 PM

Interception St. Louis! They've got it in the red zone again with a chance to go up 21-7!!
