    Really? Fox is a NFC station. When CBS doesn't show or cuts away for a different team is when I blame the network. My feelings of negativity goes to the cowboys and not the station.

    Anyone hear Kareems explanation? He said something real stupid like, "may the best man win." No Kareem, YOU have to win. He said they were playing Prevent D, well Kareem, that means you actually prevent! We got lucky...

    Kareem doesn't sound like the sharpest crayon in the box.

    Gotta love Texan fans. Not happy unless they're b****ing about something.

    Kareem breaks up a pass to win the 6th game in a row and people are saying it's luck. I guess it was pure luck that he managed to hit the receiver in the elbow as he was trying to catch the ball.

    Julio Jones dropped that ball. Nobody broke it up except his own hands.

    Watch the replay. Kareem had his hand around his left elbow as he tried to catch it. Also, I don't see anyone mentioning his 1st quarter INT. (I didn't read the game thread). I suppose that was just luck too.

    Not saying he's all the sudden worth the 1st round pick or anything, but jeeze. Credit where credit is due.

    I was just astonished of the fact , we managed to give 1-on-1 coverage on consecutive hail mary plays... Where the hell were the other 4/5 DB's that dropped back??

    I think Kareem had a decent game, but he didn't start pulling on Julio's arm until after Julio was dropping it, and Kareem didn't have that much downward force on his arm at all. Watch and you'll see that Kareem's hand is between Jones' chest and elbow and he doesn't grasp the elbow until after the ball is being dropped. IMO if Jones gains possession of that ball when it hit his hands instead of dropping it, Kareem's efforts don't matter one bit.

    Piece of s*** CBS is just as horrible as FOX as far as screwing over Texan fans in Austin:mad: Earlier this year we had to watch the Cowboys play the Bills instead of Texans vs Bucs. That week Fox had another game. Since this obviously is not the Bills market CBS picked the Cowboys over their AFC team which in this market would have been the Texans. Worse is that in 2007 this smart affiliate of CBS here decided to covert the freaking titans:mad::mad::mad:
    All of us Texans fans in Austin were stuck watching Vince Young throw 9TDs and 17 INTs that year. Hell I was scared when the Texans went 6-10 last year that we were gonna have to sit through Cleveland Browns games. Morons !!!

    Choosing to show a Cowboys game over a Texans game in Austin is not unreasonable. Choosing to show the opening kickoff of one game over the game-deciding final play of another game is very unreasonable.

    Hold back some of the rage there. The broadcaster is determined by the visiting team's conference, so the Buffalo @ Dallas game was rightly shown on CBS. It's understandable that they chose that game in Austin over the Texans.

    Now as for being stuck with the Titans' games during Vincemania...
    *shudders*
