First Church of Football: A Semi-Live Webbed Logging of the Lord's Sport

Punting on First Down presents a sort of live web log of the NFL action on most Sundays. At least the ones on which I have internet access and I don't have to work. So probably not every week but from time to time.

Will the Eagles be able to overcome the powerhouse Redskins now that they don't have to face the posthumous kickoff coverage of the empigeoned Marquis Cooper?

Check out that drama... We're about to find out on Monday Night Football. Let's party...

  1. If you haven't been watching the pregame shitshow, ESPN did a lovely portrait on one DeSean Jackson, who waxed poetic on the quandary of covering him: "In reality, it's like unpossible." How can someone POSSIBLY go 22 years in this world and not know the word impossible?

  2. "This guy has made more explosive plays in the first six or seven games in NFL history." It's amazing that Gruden knows obscure and technical stats like that off the top of his head. He must have watched a lot of tape of explosive plays.

  3. Andy Reid-most passing oriented coach in NFL history (min 100 games), also most donut oriented coach in NFL history (min 100 games).

  4. Sorry, "This guy has made more explosive plays in the first six or seven games than anyone in NFL history."

  5. Brian Westbrook getting hurt. Never in my wildest imagination did I expect to see that.

  6. Oooh an underneath route to a RB on 3 and 10. This new play-calling fella has already shown-up Jim Zorn. I see playoffs in the Skins future.

  7. Do you think ESPN might not have scheduled this game if they knew that the Redskins would be such a disaster at this point? Steelers-Vikings might have netted them a bit more sponsorship money. Maybe.

  8. Look at that defensive playcall by Sean McDermott. Campbell just got a case of ginergervitis! (Cause McDermott is eerily ginger)

  9. Jim Zorn wouldn't have called that fumble. It was a gutsy fumble left option, but a simple run would have sufficed.

  10. "I get excited to see that guy." Yeah, Gruden. You get excited watching a lot of football players. Sexually excited.

  11. I wonder if the Skins fans at this game just got really drunk and think this is a NASCAR event. There's no other reason for them to be there.

  12. A completed pass! For no gain... Well, I guess it's better than an incompletion?

  13. The Redskins have 4 first downs, two of which have come on penalties. That's an offensive machine right there.

    ReplyDelete
  14. Oh wait. They got a non penalty first down. That must be the 5th of the season.

  15. A muffed punt. There's the Redskins football I've come to know and love laughing at.

  16. Donovan McNabb: "McNabb throw(?) football? Not fall on ground and tie?"

  17. A suggestion for the Redskins in their effort to win games: COVER wideouts. It works better than letting them run free. Just a suggestion though.

    ReplyDelete
  18. A timeout... nice. That was good of them to lineup and get ready for a pass and THEN call a timeout, what with 34 seconds left in the half.

    ReplyDelete
  19. Penalty: Shittiness - on the offense number... oh hell, all of them.

  20. Jason Campbell, worst pocket presence ever? Worst pocket presence ever.

    ReplyDelete
  21. (Campbell in huddle) Shit, guys. I don't know what the playcall is. Zorn just farted really loud in the mic when they were calling it in. How about you guys just run wildly down the field and I'll throw it no where near any of you. That's what we've been running all game anyways.

  22. That fastest three minutes was really fucking fast. I think it's fast three minutes were even faster than last week's three minutes. It was almost 2 minutes and 59 seconds, it was so fast.

  23. Chris Berman cares about kids. Folks, don't go 75 mph in residential areas. Can do, Berman.

  24. Creed has new album? Why was this not bigger news? And they are own tour? Guess I have to wake up early tomorrow in order to be taken higher by Scott Stapp's poetry.

  25. Flag-Ruining a franchise on... Daniel Snyder

  26. How much is Philly paying Jason Peters to cutblock like a 200 pound running back?

  27. Video for DeSean Jackson's umpossibleness to cover from the beginning: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xK8TfzKEO7E

  28. Andy Reid just froze his own punter on that play. He's even more innovative than Mike Shanahan.

    ReplyDelete
  29. "That's just my opinion, Jaws." You tell them Gruden. Teams should have audible systems that get them out of terrible situations that will surely end in disaster. That's not obvious. In fairness, though, Tirico basically just asked him if teams should have audibles.

  30. Jon Gruden has twice mentioned that DeSean Jackson is 21-years old. Just checked his birthday and he is one of those rare 22-year old 21-year olds.

    ReplyDelete
  31. Shhhhhhh shhhhhh shhhhhh. He can fly! Cause he's an Eagle! Get it? Oh, Gruden.

    ReplyDelete
  32. Jaws' cheeks are the size of a normal person's head.

    ReplyDelete
  33. That was a sick punt return all the way to the fifteen. That was almost as good as letting it go for a touchback.

    ReplyDelete
  34. Jon Gruden just yelled at his own children on national TV! Because they don't play enough football. Only 600 hours per week.

    ReplyDelete
  35. As bad as Jason Campbell is, and he is really bad, he could use more than half of a second to throw the ball.

    ReplyDelete
  36. 27-17? The Redskins aren't losing by forty? Huh?

    ReplyDelete
  37. Game over. That was almost as boring as it promised to be. Next week I'll try and actually do this on SUNDAY probably for the night game. Fingers crossed.
