i guess the snow was not meant to fall on the field. that would have been really cool. From what I've heard and from what I know about how the turf works...they really couldn't have done it. 1) Can't do much in the stands for liability purposes. 2) Can't do anything that sticks on the field because: a) everyone is only wearing turf shoes, so you're going to have everyone pulling every muscle in their legs, or wearing cleats and destroying the turf b) the turf would get waterlogged and super heavy and then leak all over the place when they roll it up c) it would still damage the turf. Can't do anything more than a few flakes here and there. It's still more than anyone has done for Christmas in July and, in fairness, it's not like it snows much in Portland in December anyway. I don't know. Last couple of winters here we have had some decent snow. |

It's impressive how all Brooks' fumbles go right back to him.

C'mon, you see the defensive lineman lined up that far inside McDonough, you run outside instead of doing the sneak. Or you accept the penalty and get a free first down anyway, I suppose.

Why does Hohensee keep calling for QB sneak? You got Martinez. Use him.

Good thing there's no Calvin Johnson Rule in the AFL.

For those that don't know, Jacksonville head coach Les Moss is coaching from the booth due to third degree burns he suffered on his feet. Pool-side accident. Walking barefoot on hot concrete in the Jacksonville sun.

Why does Hohensee keep calling for QB sneak? You got Martinez. Use him. Martinez got stuffed the two prior plays. However, as I said, Sykes was lined up with his shoulder inside of McDonough's head. Adjust and run Martinez around the edge, since it'll be wide open. |

Adjust and run Martinez around the edge, since it'll be wide open. Even if he wasn't, I'd still take Martinez over Rowley to bust into the endzone. He's not Derrick Ross, but he's better than most "running backs" in the AFL. |
