Serious turnovers there against Denver. Chargers should be further ahead. 13-0 at HT.

Lads, do you ever get sides who prefer to play the 4th down no matter what?

The only time they will really go for it is if they are behind near the end of the game and have no choice. If you go for it on your own 30 yd line and fail the opposition get the ball on your 30 so you are fcuked. All about field position.

Big Ben injured tonight. Chiefs beat them in Overtime. Bengals have that division. Falcons have dropped behind the Packers Giants and Cowboys. Though we could have taken the Giants tonight even without Turner. We need to sort out our defence in the off-season but we also need to get another big threat receiver.

i take your point about field position minder but but i'm still amazed that teams dont go for it on 4th down early in games

Merrimen hitting Orton below the knee. What a kn**ker that lad is.

So what is the given yardage from the EZ that a side will decide to go for it in normal circumstances - 5 yrds?

Denver's discipline is worse than Ballinderry's.

LT is in some form - seems to be carrying injury still but still a better option than Sproles.

no way 5 yards unless you have to... 1 or 2 max early in the game imo. you get it you get a bit of mommentum going and you never know. right now nobody tries on 4 th down unless less they have to

The packers will win this game going away i would imagine, Crosby has a big leg but he is not tat accurate and he could yet cost the packers the day.

Prediction, Pack 34 Lions 17.

[Galwaybhoy]

Great pass by Rogers to end the first quarter.

Rushing touchdown for the Packers.

Now 7-7.

I'd say your right Stew, Green Bay will run away with this now I'd say.
