STL/SF tied. WTF!
It looked neither team try to win in OT.

I didn't watch the game, but both teams missed a FG in overtime. STL even attempted a 58-yarder, so I wouldn't say they didn't try.

 

  • 1. superchunk: 9-3 (CHI)
  • T2. BoneArk, chocoloco, insomniac17: 8-4 (HOU); Level1Death, SaviorX: 8-4 (CHI)
  • T7. Kenology, Mendicate Bias, noname2200, RolStoppable, shakarak: 7-5 (HOU); amp316, NinjaBlade360, Train wreck: 7-5 (CHI)

 

The Rams should have won that game they made a 53 yard field goal before they attemted that 58 yarder but they ran out the play clock so it didn't count.  First tie since 2008.  They need to tweek the overtime rules so that a game doesn't end in a tie kinda like they do it in college football.

bad week for me,dallas and new orleans won then and NYG got spanked,so chicago can't score then,well done houston,

i didn't think you can tie in NFL,so if no one scores after a set period of time it stays a tie is that right,i never saw this game

damn I just realized I accidentally picked the Panthers instead of the Broncos, could have been tied for first.

The Bears deserved to lose with those 4 turnovers, missed field goal, and all of those dropped passes. This doesn't take anything away from the Texans though. They came into Soldier Field, played hard, and got the job done one way or another. This doesn't forgive Arian Foster from wearing really stupid bow ties.

Overall, an bad week for me so many of my teams lost.

@ Rol Stop making fake quotes by Jay Cutler. This is the second time now. I have the common decency to post actual videos of Aaron Rodgers blowing off cancer patients.

That turned into a really bad game in the second half.

What this means for the prediction league is that now the only question is: Just how hard do the Kansas City Chiefs suck? There will a big battle for first place and a huge battle for fifth place in Week 10.

In the run for first place (9-4 so far): superchunk (10-21/11), insomniac17 (7-21/14), BoneArk (7-30/23), chocoloco (13-37/24).

In the run for fifth place (8-5 so far): SaviorX (13-20/7), Mendicate Bias (10-24/14), Kenology (7-24/17), RolStoppable (13-31/18), noname2200 (7-28/21), shakarak (10-34/24), Level1Death (3-28/25).

C'mon KC!

yep.... Bears should have won that game. The weather and Houston D clearly put it away. Offense simply couldn't get past that combo even though Bear D kept them in the game.

If my preliminary calculations are correct, you'll be stuck in #13 for another week.

yep. The bunch is still too close of overall w/l. But I get bragging rights for individual week! (excluding Bears performance)



I noticed a trend yesterday beyond what is mentioned about the the NF leaders all losing.

The AFC leaders all won.

The number of wins for the AFC and NFC leaders are 6,6,7, and 8.

The number 2 AFC team beat the number one NFC last night.

Rams kept getting screwed over by the refs. "Screwed over" isn't quite the right word, since they technically DID commit the penalties that negated such beauties as an 80 yard completion and a successful 53 yard FG. Also, the refs were incompetent enough to realize that they needed to add 1:20 or so to the clock in the first half, and then never bother to notice that the time was never actually added on.

It's the only tie I've ever seen, and it was...something.

 

Overall, this week left a sour taste in my mouth. Three starting QBs go out with concussions, a fairly crappy record for me, and the Chiefs are playing tonight. Hopefully at least Smith and Cutler come back by next week, or the hyped MNF matchup won't be anywhere near as fun.

I've never seen a tie, but I saw CAR@STL go into a second period of overtime in the year when the Panthers reached the Super Bowl.

The Bears are going to lose in Week 11 and with a win in Detroit, the Packers will sit on top of the NFC North. Booyah!

That Seattle game is really making things interesting now, huh?
