I loved the old school uniforms as well.

The fake punt was pretty cool.

Vince Young played like shit. Like I said before, its amazing that three players of one of the greatest college football games ever, are turning out to be busts in the NFL.

Micheals and Collinsworth=gold. Now NBC needs to eliminate some of the guys on the pregame and halftime shows.

[Jimmy's Dignity]

I had to watch the replay of that fake punt about 4 times to actually figure out how he pulled it off. A Statue of Liberty punt? Fucking ballsy

[Phi Mu Alpha]

I wanna go on record and say that JaMarcus Russell will be bust this season

[Jimmy's Dignity]

Donte' Stallworth suspended for 2009 Season (http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/news/story?id=4396130&campaign=rss&source=ESPNHeadlines)

[maxeypad]

woot woot....NFL 09-10 thread!!

GO TEXANS!!!!!! Andre Johnson is da shit....and I hope Robinson comes back....and that Cushing is ready to go against the Jets on Sept. 13th

i CANNOT wait for foozball!

[XMScott]

Just got back from the Jets preseason opener. Lost to the Rams........

Defense looks..... like it still needs work. True the best two starters (Jenkins and Revis) were out. I believe (as shown last year) that without a healthy Jenkins the Jets flat out cant play defense. I dont care who is coaching. Not getting a capable backup for him this offseason could come back to haunt them. And Revis is one of the best corners in the league.

Oh and Gholston still fucking sucks.

With 3/5 starting o-line men out the running game didnt work that well.

Who cares? Its about the QB competition right?

Clemens was perfect, not one miss read or throw.
Sanchez tossed a perfectly placed bomb to David Clowney. Lead a 90 yard drive.

[notmikeh]

I know everyone is going to think I am nuts but I think the Pats will go undefeated this season. is there a way I can place a bet online in vegas for this?

[Stormrider666]

Andre Smith has bust written all over him. He holds out of training camp and doesn't sign until before the last preseason game. Then he quickly fractures his left foot during non-contact drills. Nice going fat boy.

[JordanSRT10]

Collinsworth is one of the worst commentators I have ever heard.

What a douche, he is almost as gay as John Sterling

Sorry budday but there going to be trading Marshall anyday now lets face it :action-sm

[Absolutely]

My team, the Rams, will win about 3 game I think.
Putting them at 8-40 for a Three year stretch, which is God-Awful...

I did learn tonight that our 2nd Round pick, LB James Laurinaitis from OU, is the son of "Animal" from the Legion of Doom.
So that's pretty cool...

Either way, they should have taken Rey Maualuga. Who went 3 picks later

I seriously doubt that Opie-(Erock) & Anthony-(Sam) will have him back on. Libdib.

Richard Seymour was traded from the Patriots to the Raiders for a 2011 1st round draft pick. Along with Mike Vrabel going to Kansas City and Teddy Bruschi retiring, the old guard of the Patriots championship teams is starting to get smaller.

Is anyone else besides Brady left from the 2001 team that beat the Rams?
That was 8 years ago I guess, doesn't seem like it though.

Who is left from the 2004 team?

The real question is: Does anyone care other than Norton23?

[Large Marge]

Kevin Faulk was on the 2001 team. No one else was though.

Rich Eisen on Steve Somers
it started all nice, but rich got really pissed and snippy.

[Jimmy's Dignity]

I saw something on SportsCenter...I think there were like 4 Pats still on the team from the 2001

Oh and Richard Seymour still hasn't bothered reporting to the Raiders yet (http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/news/story?id=4453249)

[askewcore]

Seymour's a cunt. He always has been. I wouldn't be surprised if he never shows up to Oakland. Which would suck for the Pats, because they're gonna get a top 10 pick for him next season, since Oakland is going nowhere this season. Again.

[Jimmy's Dignity]

I hope he doesn't report...there's no fucking way that Seymour is worth a 1st round pick. He's nowhere near as good as anyone inside of Worchester thinks he is

The Bills are truly the biggest embarrassment of the NFL.

[Papagolash]

Well to be fair to the kid he's had the stuttering problem his whole life. I did read that the only time the stuttering problem doesn't happen is when he's rapping. The reporters just have to get him to rap his answers.

[Hoagie]

Yeah he doesn't seem like he's really a dummy or anything. He seems like a nice enough kid with a stuttering problem. It takes balls to go up in front of a press conference knowing you have that stuttering problem. I give him credit for doing it.

[askewcore]

Yeah he doesn't seem like he's really a dummy or anything.

Until I found out he had a real stuttering problem, he sure did. Now I actually feel kinda bad for him.

[fandango86]

My thing is the Bills simply shouldn't be sending a guy like that up to do a press conference. They've become a complete sideshow act.

[Stormrider666]

Well to be fair to the kid he's had the stuttering problem his whole life. I did read that the only time the stuttering problem doesn't happen is when he's rapping. The reporters just have to get him to rap his answers.

So the question becomes, will O and A acknowledge the fact that he has a stuttering problem on tomorrow's show.

[Papagolash]

http://www.post-gazette.com/pg/08293/921101-144.stm#ixzz0QRqKuYRR

For Lankster, this ESPN-televised show against a home-state team offers his biggest stage yet, which holds considerable allure to a slow-starting, junior-college transfer, one-time suspended Mountaineer and young man with a lifelong stutter everywhere but when rapping

[askewcore]

So the question becomes, will O and A acknowledge the fact that he has a stuttering problem on tomorrow's show.

Nope.

I thought the Giants would be a little further down given the depth problems on D because of the injuries.

[Jimmy's Dignity]

Yeah, I was kind of surprised at that too, but pleasantly so. What I don't understand is how the Patriots are in at #2. Yes they get Jesus Christ in Cleats back, but their defense is fucking overrated and they've jettisoned every veteran defensive leader on their team

[Stormrider666]

Logic doesn't matter to ESPN. As long as they have the guy who invented the position of QB, they will always have the Patriots close to the #1 spot.

[Jimmy's Dignity]

I miss the Patriots from the late 1980's/early '90's...

[Absolutely]

At least the Rams aren't 32nd...

The "Ummm Like" guy is great.

[samurai]

Vikings-#9

"Schism or not, Brett Favre makes this team a championship contender."

Does anyone (here) actually believe that? :rolleyes:

[Large Marge]

they have two great running backs, great defense, O-line, the only thing holding them back last year was the passing game.

[notmikeh]

they still don't have much for recievers

[Jimmy's Dignity]

I think the Vikings will surprise/impress people if Favre & AP can stay healthy all season long

Finally Quinn is named the starter bout time!

Even though the Steelers are playing tonight I'm going to watch them

[maxeypad]

Titans are going down tonight
ughhh and them wearing HOUSTON Oilers uniforms....pisses me off.....FUCK Bud Adams

This kickoff show sucks.

Thank you Al Michaels.

"On comes Bironas for a 37 yard attempt. One of the best kickers in the league. It's up and NO GOOD."

First play of the ensuing drive, handoff to Mendenhall, tackled by...Ben Roethlisberger?

[Large Marge]

Benny isn't having a good first quarter.

[notmikeh]

I am so glad football is back. I love this time of year

[Large Marge]

ooo me too, been waiting a long time for the season to start.

great INT for Troy.

[Sct Ptersns Twn]

Ummmmm, I think I will go get a drink......

[Aaron Burrito]

That's not "sticking the ball in someones face" moron.

[Aaron Burrito]

Benny isn't having a good first quarter.

But according to Wilbon he's the best QB in the NFL.:rolleyes:

[Large Marge]

I'm watching online without the audio, is colinsworth being a douche?

Had Ben last year on my fantasy team, looks like more of the same this year.

More wins than any QB in the first 5 years. He is a game managing fool.

[Sct Ptersns Twn]

I guess the zebras will win tonight. Holy fuck !!!!

[Aaron Burrito]

More wins than any QB in the first 5 years. He is a game managing fool.

That doesn't make you the best QB in the league though.

[Large Marge]

looks like troy's foot didn't want to bend that way.

[roche]

I decided to go to the store after that blocked FG so I wouldn't miss the second half.

Real smart move.........

[Large Marge]

ahhh god damn knee injuries are the worst

[Aaron Burrito]

ahhh god damn knee injuries are the worst

Yeah, what was that shit. Tackle like a man.

[roche]

ahhh god damn knee injuries are the worst

Nope. Spinal cord injuries are the worst.

[Large Marge]

i guess you're right there..

pittsburg D inside the 20 really fun to watch

[Sct Ptersns Twn]

I love 6 time super bowl winners.....

[roche]

Wow....

What a fuck up there.

[Plunkies]

Alge Crumpler's fat ass sitting on Troy Polamalu's knee looked extremely painful. I don't remember that guy weighing 400 pounds when he was on the Falcons....

[Jimmy's Dignity]

That was a fucking nice game...if Bironas didn't suck on those two field goals, I'd have scored even more points. Santonio Holmes came up huge for me.

Oh Troy Polamalu sprained his MCL...will be out for 3-6 weeks (http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/news/story?id=4463828)


And Richard Seymour still hasn't reported to the Raiders (http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/news/story?id=4463798). Hey dummy...if you don't play this year you don't qualify for free agency. And you'll be 30.

Four days after his trade from the East Coast to the West, defensive lineman Richard Seymour was still a no-show, and the situation is getting prickly.

The Oakland Raiders have drafted and signed a five-day letter addressed to Seymour, which means the former New England Patriots defensive lineman has five days upon receipt to report to the Raiders or be suspended, league sources told ESPN NFL Insider Adam Schefter Thursday night.

There is some question as to whether the letter has been delivered, however. A high-ranking Raiders official said he wasn't sure if the letter was sent "at this time." Various parties with knowledge of the situation have indicated different timetables regarding the letter.

One thing is certain. The five-day letter imposes a deadline on both sides, with plenty to lose for each. Oakland could lose the player it covets, and Seymour could lose a season and a salary of $3.685 million.

"I don't have any knowledge of that right now," Raiders coach Tom Cable told The Associated Press when asked about the letter Thursday. "I've heard something about that, but I have no knowledge of that right now. It has been nothing more than just trying to get some of these details worked out, that's it."

In the meantime, the Raiders re-signed defensive tackle William Joseph on Thursday.

Joseph was cut by the Raiders on Sunday after the team acquired Seymour from New England in exchange for its first-round draft pick in 2011.

Oakland was granted a roster exemption by the NFL while Seymour's situation waits to be resolved.

"I have nothing new to report," Cable said after the Raiders' night practice. "But in the meantime this was granted to us so we could get ready."

Trevor Scott, who tied for the Raiders lead in sacks as a rookie in 2008, likely will start at right defensive end against the Chargers if Seymour does not show up.

"It's out of my control, whatever's going to happen is going to happen," Scott said. "So if he does get here, some things are changed or different. I'm not going to let it affect me."

San Diego coach Norv Turner, whose teams travels to Oakland for Monday's season opener, said Seymour could still have an impact in the game if he reports soon.

"He's an outstanding football player," Turner said in a conference call Thursday. "A guy who's that good a football player, I think you find a spot, whether it be as an end pass rushing on third down, whatever those things might be. But certainly, it's hard to fit a guy in and get him going in a short period of time."

Chargers running back LaDainian Tomlinson, who has rushed for more yards (1,906) and touchdowns (19) against the Raiders than any other team, also expects Seymour to play well if he reports.

"He's a pro for one, he knows how to play football and he knows how to turn it on when it's time to turn it on," Tomlinson said. "I think he can absolutely have an effect on the game."

Joseph, a former first-round pick of the New York Giants who played in eight games for Oakland last season, wasn't surprised the Raiders re-signed him.

"The day they let me go, they released me, Coach Cable said, 'Don't go nowhere,' " Joseph said. "I was just around, sticking around, seeing what was going to happen."

[Aaron Burrito]

That was a fucking nice game...if Bironas didn't suck on those two field goals, I'd have scored even more points. Santonio Holmes came up huge for me.

Oh Troy Polamalu sprained his MCL...will be out for 3-6 weeks (http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/news/story?id=4463828)

I have Bironas as well. Make a damn field goal, asshole.

[Stormrider666]

I'd fuck Fergie. But fuck this music, it's shit

The only reason why I even checked out some of the kick off show, was so I could stare at Fergie.

But enough with the pop and country stars performing the kick off show. Metallica is mainstream enough now, let them play one year.

Great start to the NFL season. Oh and Rothlisberger is one of the best QBs in the league.

[FullBallz]

That game put me to sleep last night. I love watching the Steelers but christ was that dull. The last 8 minutes of the 4th were good. I always love how the most tense moment in football OT is the damn coin toss.

[maxeypad]

great game last night
FUCK the Titans

[LBF]

I'm not much of a Big Ben fan. In fact, I generally fall into the "he manages the game pretty well, but his team makes him look better than he is" group. However, he played ridiculously well last night. 33-43 for 360 yards against the Titans defense is crazy.

Yeah but the Titans had zero pass rush. Ben had all day to throw and he picked apart their zone.

[maxeypad]

wow the texans suck today.....UGGGHHHHHHHHH

[Absolutely]

The Panthers suck as well...
38-10
Delhomme 7-17, 73 Yards, 4 INTS

I've got the Ravens/Chiefs game, it's weird seeing the Ravens throw the ball. Flaco 40+ attempts, 260 something.

[JordanSRT10]

Stupid Black Earl is gonna be happy

[George Costanza]

Lions are losing but it's been a really exciting game with lots of big plays.

[Absolutely]

Lions are losing but it's been a really exciting game with lots of big plays.

How do the Lions have 27 points on 32 Yards rushing and Stafford being 11/28 with 2 picks and 150 Yards?

[Mother Shucker]

Drew Brees is the shit.

Did you just see the end of the Bronco game?

[Absolutely]

Drew Brees is the shit.

Did you just see the end of the Bronco game?

The other day Chad Johnson was on "First Take" predicting 12 wins this season.
They're well on their way, what 12 win team wouldn't lose to the vaunted Denver Broncos?

[George Costanza]

How do the Lions have 27 points on 32 Yards rushing and Stafford being 11/28 with 2 picks and 150 Yards?

Special Teams and turnovers.

[Phi Mu Alpha]

I gotta say my Brownies were bad but I was actually impressed with our D. Its going to be so much better than last years. Brady didn't do to bad either.

[Stormrider666]

Drew Brees is the shit.

Did you just see the end of the Bronco game?

Yeah. I feel sorry for the fans who had to sit through that piece of shit game.

[Mother Shucker]

The Bronco's are in trouble, Kyle Orton is the anti-Brees.

[Stormrider666]

Hey you know what's a bad idea. Following a big run by Clinton Portis, with an option play.

[Phi Mu Alpha]

It's almost as bad as trading Cutler for Orton

[Absolutely]

The Rams game is the worst game of football I've ever watched...

- Win the toss, elect to receive. Avery fumbles the ball on the first play of the season, Sea Ball
- Pick off a Sea pass in the endzone. First play of the drive, False Start.

Insert about 100 yards of penalties.

- Sea kicking a 49 yard FG, Rams block it take it to the house... 7 Points tied game going to the half. BUT WAIT, we have 12 men on the field! So no blocked FG, AND first down on the penalty. Sea goes on to score before half.

So 7-7 goes to 14-0 at half.

102 Yards of Offense.
I'm disgusted. And the Rams have forced 3 Turnovers, with nothing to show for it.

I thought the Rams might win 4, now I'm saying they'll struggle to win 2

[Stormrider666]

Oh there's a fucking shock, Deangelo Hall made a bonehead play and gets penalized for it.

[Steam]

Wow you had to pay for Red Zone? We got it free and it is fucking AWESOME! Only bad thing is we don't have it in HD but I can deal.

Same. I'm just hoping they don't start charging us for it. Was hoping for HD but it is still fucking insanely good. I didn't think any new channel would rival MLB Network this year but this might be close (only because I already have Extra Innings for baseball).

My drawbacks to it:

1) Way too much Brett Favre. Although it did provide me with my first laugh of the season when it was 3rd and Goal for the Vikings and Billick said "This is why they brought in Brett Favre". Favre proceeded to overthrow the endzone. Yep, that's about right. Second laugh of the season? When Mike Cox got drilled in the KC game and the play by play guy said "Mike Cox hit hard!"

2) Tony Siragusa

[Mother Shucker]

For those of you who thought it was looped:

Tv1aqmuyZE8&NR=1

[Perch1019]

IS the Red Zone channel the one they give you on DirecTV or is it a whole different channel?

Its unreal that after 3 seasons, the NFL network still isnt on some cable systems. Cablevision is a fucking joke. I understand they want to offer the package but the NFL has an insane exclusive deal with Dtv and its not going to happen. They need to just do the right then and put it on the system.
I moved to an apartment a month ago and can no longer have DirecTV. Had to set it up at my moms and use Slingbox to get it into my Apt. It was ok but at times the quality would go to complete shit and I couldnt even get it to work later in the day. Has anyone had any experience with Slingbox? Im thinking of just returning it.

[Large Marge]

the redzone channel is produced by the NFL network, so i don't think its the same thing.

its similar, but you don't have the option to pick what game you want to watch. I don't know why some people get it free and fios doesn't. oh well, its worth 50.

[LBF]

Wonderful series for Cutler mid-way through the first quarter. He throws two passes that hit defenders in the hands but get dropped. Not one to give up so easily, the throws another pass right to a GB defender who manages to hang onto the ball.

[ginaf20697]

Cutler is an overrated POS.

[Large Marge]

Jay Lendo actually got some funny lines out.

Here we go... big half for #85!

[LBF]

Did I really just see Lovie Smith call for a fake punt on 4th and 11 inside his own 40 with a 2 point lead?? Good Lord was that a hideous call.




Edit: Apparently the long snapper made the decision to run the fake. He should be taken out back and beaten.

[Mother Shucker]

Did I really just see Lovie Smith call for a fake punt on 4th and 11 inside his own 40 with a 2 point lead?? Good Lord was that a hideous call.

"What did he say?"

"He said the coach is near..."

Really, moon crickets are not cut out to coach football teams in the NFL.

[LBF]

Way to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory, boys.

[Large Marge]

Leno - "I'm really impressed by Green Bay's quarter back, Jay Cutler"

[LBF]

Leno - "I'm really impressed by Green Bay's quarter back, Jay Cutler"


I missed that one. Was he making a joke or was he actually confused? Either way it's a killer line.

[Large Marge]

yeah they interviewed him at half time. It was a good joke. I paraphrased the set up and the punch line.

[Plunkies]

I missed that one. Was he making a joke or was he actually confused? Either way it's a killer line.

It's an old interceptions joke.

[LBF]

It's an old interceptions joke.


Yea, I get it, I'm not a complete dumbass. :icon_mrgr

I'm a big fan of the "Cutler was the Packers best player tonight" line.


I just wondered if Leno actually pays attention to football and knew Cutler played for the Bears or if he just glanced at the cheat sheet some producer gave him and he misread it.

[Sprite]

Damn good day of games. GO PACK GO! :)

[Large Marge]

Anyone else looking forward to brady's return? Not much pats love here. I can't wait to see what the offense looks like

WOOOOOOOT

[Jimmy's Dignity]

Brian Urlacher's season is kaputski (http://sports.espn.go.com/chicago/nfl/news/story?id=4472175)

a dislocated wrist with a linebacker...sorry folks, you're not going to be making many tackles like that

[askewcore]

Ouch, you never want to see that shit happens. Sucks for the Bears, good luck next season, Chicago.

Any word on how long Hakeem Nicks will be out with his ankle sprain?

[Jimmy's Dignity]

apparently 2-3 weeks or so

[maxeypad]

that sucks for the Bears...losing Urlacher and all

and what the fuck was up with the Texans yesterday...looked like a Division II college team yesterday.....mad props to the Jets....made us look baaaaad

[askewcore]

Philly signed Jeff Garcia....

[Chino Kapone]

oh stop it, that really hurts my feelings.

[Chino Kapone]

I love the 45 year old douche bag at the Pats game that is wearing the Brady jersey and the helmet. Look douche, they are not gonna see you suited up already and call out of the stands when Brady gets hurt.

[Large Marge]

Database poop double post.


oh now chino, I think I heard Mr. B say that line before.

[Large Marge]

pats getting a few good drives in, but can't finish them off

[Chino Kapone]

Database poop double post.


oh now chino, I think I heard Mr. B say that line before.

I'd say it's a common thought. Plus I don't listen to any of the shows... soooooo..... :idontknow

[Large Marge]

well, as a pats fan, I can't stand other pats fans. They sit on their ass and hardly make a sound when they are in the redzone.

And the announcers for ESPN can't stop saying nice things about Brady. That would make me jealous too if I supported an other team.

[Chino Kapone]

Gawd Dammit! Cmon Thomas... Be fucking smarter. I needed that sack!

[Absolutely]

Trent Edwards!

[LBF]

They have made two absolutely horrible 'roughing the passer' calls against New England tonight. The first, the NE defender dove and hit Edwards in the waist right as he threw the ball. I guess that violated the new 'don't go after the legs' rule. The second penalty came on a sack. They said the defender slammed him too hard when he tackled him.


They need to just go ahead and put QBs in red "don't hit me" jerseys and be done with it.

Couldn't agree more.

[Large Marge]

both were bullshit, the refs have been involved too much in this game.

fuck that last drive was disappointing. had edwards down for a huge loss, then roughing the passer.

[Hoagie]

The first one was bad but no one to blame but Brady for those kinds of calls. The second I thought wasn't so bad. There were several whistles already blown and you aren't allowed to pick a QB up and slam him on the ground. Granted on the slow motion replay it didn't look that bad but in real time even I said that should be called and I HATE roughing the passer calls.

The wife was vacuuming when the play happened, so I didn't hear the whistles. If whistles were blown before the slam, I don't have as much problem with the second call. I can understand why you don't want a 300lb linemen body slamming anybody after the play has been blown dead.

The first one was still complete BS. Even under the new "Brady leg rule" that call was horrible. The lineman hit Edwards in the bellybutton, not the kneecaps.

Not real sure how you can blame Brady for that rule, anyway. Sure, his injury contributed to the rule being changed, but it's not like it was his fault.

[Absolutely]

Me thinks a little too late Tom Terrific...

[Large Marge]

Me thinks a little too late Tom Terrific...

But come on that was a fucking drive!

[Large Marge]

I just came!

[Absolutely]

Only the Patriots get that break...
WTF

Who fumbles there?!

[Chino Kapone]

No. Fucking. Way.

That didn't just happen? Did it?

Looks like typical Buffalo football.

[LBF]

On a completely unrelated note: Can we get someone to firebomb this booth? I don't mind Tirico but Jaws and Gruden have got to go.

[Mother Shucker]

Good fucking God, the city of Buffalo should just die.

[Hoagie]

The Bills should just be kicked out of the NFL. How the hell do you run the same defensive coverage that is getting picked apart the ENTIRE drive and NEVER call a timeout or do anything to switch it up. I get that they were willing to give up a touchdown and all but they didn't even make the Patriots use a lot of time to do it. Then this fumble. They deserve to lose the game and the NFL.

[Chino Kapone]

100,000 Bills fans just collapsed and died.

[Hoagie]

And right back to their shitty soft coverage. This loss is unavoidable for the Bills.

[Absolutely]

On a completely unrelated note: Can we get someone to firebomb this booth? I don't mind Tirico but Jaws and Gruden have got to go.

Mike and Mike with Steve Young are doing the 2nd game right?
2 years ago I hated those two cornballs, but they've grown on me...

[Absolutely]

Jebus...
The Bills are a disgrace

[Mother Shucker]

I just puked in my mouth.

[LBF]

Who fumbles there?!



More importantly, who the hell brings that kick out of the endzone? Take a knee, dummy. Or at the very least go down when you get hit. Fighting for extra yards is just stupid.






I can't wait until TO starts going crazy on his team. I figure it will take about 2 more weeks like this.

[askewcore]

What a crazy fucking game. How can anyone not love football?

Please make this 2 pt. I have a lot of money on this conversion here...

[Hoagie]

Same coverage. Same route.

[Absolutely]

At least the Bills have a shot.

2 TOs, and they do have TO (Can't believe that pun wasn't just used)

However, I give them 5% to win.

[askewcore]

Shit. Now I hope the Bills come down and win on a FG.

[Large Marge]

the pats deserve this win, look how long their drives were.

[Chino Kapone]

Brady just picked them apart.

Whatever. Sad Patriots fans make me happy. Happy Patriots fans annoy the fuck outta me.

[Absolutely]

I thought the Bills just blew a timeout...
I lost it

[askewcore]

Gruden is really not too bad as an announcer.

[Absolutely]

To!

[Absolutely]

Probably not a good idea to take the sack there.

[askewcore]

Terrible. They're fucked.

Probably not a good idea to take the sack there.

I was gonna say the same, but he really didnt have a choice. His blocking broke down pretty quick.

[Hoagie]

So much for those time outs. This is so done. Another week of everyone kissing the Patriots asses even though they sucked a fat black cock most of the game.

[Absolutely]

Where is Rob Johnson when you need him!?

Turabell

[Hoagie]

Die Bills die.

[askewcore]

When Roscoe Parrish had the ball I really thought he might make something happen.

Aaaaaaaaaand here comes the Brady Fellatio.

[Absolutely]

"Give Bill Belichek credit for kicking the ball off"

Because he knew a fumble was coming...He's a genius

Let the asshole licking begin...
In 10 minutes ESPN will have their "Greatest Comebacks Of Alltime" This meaningless one probably #2 ever.

[askewcore]

"Give Bill Belichek credit for kicking the ball off"

Because he knew a fumble was coming...He's a genius

Let the asshole licking begin...

That was the play he called. Not that he thought he would have a better chance for a 3 and out than to recover the onside kick. NO. He called the "make him fumble" play. Because the hands team was on the field. In case you didnt hear Jaws say it 46 times.

[Mother Shucker]

One good note, the Pats sure looked good at home vs. a short handed Buffalo.

oh thats low.

[askewcore]

Oooh, Brady broke a career record for completions! Good for him! He threw the ball like 65 fucking times.

[Chino Kapone]

Give Bill Bellichek credit for starting Tom Brady. Give Tom Brady Credit for knowing how to throw the ball. Give Randy Moss credit for catching 12 balls. And give the Bills credit for doing what they know best..... Choking and sucking fat donkey balls every fucking game they will ever play.

[Ballbuster1]

Well Buffalo just sat on a big dick. That was such a winnable game for them.

[Large Marge]

You're all jealous!

The pats Defense looked like shit. Their offense was way above average. They controlled the ball period.

And if you were watching at a bar, and couldn't hear the anouncers....They said this: TOM BRADY TOM BRADY TOM BRADY

[Perch1019]

So much for those time outs. This is so done. Another week of everyone kissing the Patriots asses even though they sucked a fat black cock most of the game.

A whole week of Belicheat being called a genius and Brady being the best QB of all time. I hope that McKelven guy is killed getting off the plane in Buffalo. Why would you not take a knee there?

[Absolutely]

Now I root against the Chargers.

[Chino Kapone]

C'mon McFadden!!!

I knew I should have started him over Chris Johnson....

Good run for Michael Bush. Love that guy.

[askewcore]

If I was a Jets fan, I'd be a happy boy right now. The Jets defense looks worlds better than the Pats against similar offenses (Houston is better) and the Pats offense was not impressive, they took what was given to them by a weak, poorly coached defense. The Jets defense is gonna put Brady on his ass, and everyone knows when you hit him, he's not good.

[Absolutely]

"The best asset for a quarterback is a great tight end"

I chuckled like a 5 year old.

Greenberg's announcing is already annoying me.

[Chino Kapone]

"The best asset for a quarterback is a great tight end"

Agreed.

Fucking Jamarcus... Just fuckin put Mcfadden in at !B and just run the wildcat.

[LBF]

Even the biggest Patriots homer in the world, Bill Simmons, thinks the Pats defense is garbage. They're going to need Brady to put up 2007 numbers if they expect to go anywhere this season. That defense looked sllllllllow tonight.



And whoever said it is probably right.....Gruden isn't too terrible. Jaworski's worthlessness taints the entire booth.

[Chino Kapone]

Go! Hell ya! RUN DMC!

[Plunkies]

The Bills are just born losers. They can't even win a game that's supposed to be in the bag. If that kick returner hadn't fumbled they have just figured out a way to fuck up a quarterback kneel or something.

[Chino Kapone]

Raiders fans are fucking ugly.

Go McFadden!

[Plunkies]

I really wish the Chargers would stop pretending LT is good. GIVE IT TO SPROLES! Holy shit...

[Chino Kapone]

I hope LT is thinking about how he tried to call out All Day Peterson a couple weeks ago as he was fumbling that ball.

[Chino Kapone]

Gawddammit.

[XMScott]

Brady is going to be on his back all of next weekend. Im going to be shit happy to see it happen!

[Large Marge]

Jets homers vs Pats homers.

It is going to feel good when Moss burns you for a 75 yard TD.

One more point about the Pats D, they aren't good. But keep in mind Mayo went out early. With him in there, it could have been a little different.

[Save My Up's Dick]

These announcers blow.

....at least it's not Kornheiser.

[XMScott]

Jets homers vs Pats homers.

It is going to feel good when Moss burns you for a 75 yard TD.

One more point about the Pats D, they aren't good. But keep in mind Mayo went out early. With him in there, it could have been a little different.

Keep in mind the Jets destroyed the AFC's 2nd "best" (by yards) team without 2 elite pass rushers. Causing Schaub to play on his back for 90 minutes. Holding Slaton (2nd best in AFC last season) to 27 yards rushing.

Pats dont scare me.

Oh. And if you heard the Jets fan on Ron and Fez today. That was me.

[Plunkies]

These announcers are retards...

[Large Marge]

These announcers are retards...

They are second squad on the fourth best network.

I thought that should'a been a touch down.

[askewcore]

Oh. And if you heard the Jets fan on Ron and Fez today. That was me.

The one complaining about how there's more Giants fans than Jets fans and that no one takes the Jets serious? That's what happens when no one who was born after Kennedy was killed has even the slightest memory of a championship.

[Plunkies]

I thought that should'a been a touch down.

In one of the angles you see he loses the ball and then picks it up while it's between his legs. The announcers said as soon as his second foot goes down it's a TD which is just wrong.

[XMScott]

Chris Berman sucks a bag of cocks

[Save My Up's Dick]

I always thought if you catch the ball in the end zone, get two feet down, it doesn't matter what happens next, it's a TD....guess I was wrong.

I'm watchin....still don't like the call/rule.

To me it looked like it would have been a catch and fumble if it wasn't in the end zone.

[Absolutely]

If Young says "Man Free Safety" one more time I'll puke.

I still don't get the non TD call at the end of the first. I get the explanation, but it's lame.
The guy caught it, had 2 feet down then went down hit the grass and then the ball wobbled around.

Ghey.

[roche]

I love how Steve Young thinks Golic doesn't know shit about football. They keep fighting for talking time, and Young wont shut the fuck up.

Good. Mike and Mike are awful. Even if Steve thinks hes at a Carnival I would rather hear him.

[LBF]

The TD/non-TD call confused me, too.


Rivers has finally started making some decent throws on this drive. The Raiders are a lot like the Bills in that the game has basically gone completely in their favor so far, and yet they will still find a way to lose.

[Chino Kapone]

Good. Mike and Mike are awful. Even if Steve thinks hes at a Carnival I would rather hear him.

It's rather comical, cause I am starting to be in disbelief that Golic ever played a down in the NFL.

Even though they are losing, the Raiders are doing well... I really can't stand Rivers. I really hope Seymore pancakes his cocky ass through the field.

It's also annoying they can't tell the difference between McFadden(20) or Bush(29).

[LBF]

Everything these three boobs have said is annoying.




That hit by Weddle made me giggle.

[Absolutely]

Nice TD...

[Chino Kapone]

Golic makes me miss John Madden.


THAT WAS A FUCKING GREAT PLAY.

[Hoagie]

Did JaMarcus Culpepper really just make that throw?

[roche]

Golic makes me miss John Madden.


THAT WAS A FUCKING GREAT PLAY.

That was an awesome play.

Did Golic really say the right play all along like we said after the TD?

[Chino Kapone]

Did JaMarcus Culpepper really just make that throw?

:haha7:

Shocking. Damn good game.

[LBF]

Did JaMarcus Culpepper really just make that throw?


Dude was 15 yards behind the nearest defender. YOU could have made that throw.


And now for the game-winning drive that crushes the Raider fans' hearts.

[Absolutely]

How many times can Greenberg say "You gotta give credit..."
I bet it's in the 20s

[Chino Kapone]

Dude was 15 yards behind the nearest defender. YOU could have made that throw.

That and "What a great weapon" about Sproles. We get it. He's fucking short and you dont know what else to fucking say.

[Absolutely]

How did #11 catch that?

[Absolutely]

Are the Raiders trying right now?
There's too much time left to just give them 10 yards in the middle every single play

[Absolutely]

There's no "Moral Victories" in the NFL Golic.
This isn't Florida A&M hanging with USC

[Chino Kapone]

They pretty much are just trying to play prevent and quit with their man to man. WTF? They are pulling away from what kept them in the game.

When you rarely win games, you have no idea what the fuck to do when you are winning.

[Chino Kapone]

There's no "Moral Victories" in the NFL Golic.
This isn't Florida A&M hanging with USC

:haha7:
:clap:

When you lose to the raiders there is not moral victorys. When you give up 85 yards in a minute and a half, there are no moral victories.

[Absolutely]

Come on Raiders...
What a terrible few minutes for them.

[roche]

They gave that game away

[LBF]

And now for the game-winning drive that crushes the Raider fans' hearts.






And there it is. Raider fans look distraught.

[Absolutely]

:haha7:
:clap:

When you lose to the raiders there is not moral victorys. When you give up 85 yards in a minute and a half, there are no moral victories.

I think it was the opposite, that the Raiders should feel good at least hanging with the SD.

[Absolutely]

And there it is. Raider fans look distraught.

It has to be even more depressing for those 40 year old men scrubbing off their face paint/fangs/spikes tonight.

[Sprite]

All I can say about yesterday's games and tonight's games is "WOW".

Fan-fucking-tastic opening week 1.

THE NFL IS BACK!

EDIT - GO PACK GO!

[Chino Kapone]

What a shit ending.

The defense sould run laps.

[Hoagie]

It has to be even more depressing for those 40 year old men scrubbing off their face paint/fangs/spikes tonight.Don't kid yourself. Those guys stopped caring about the actual football team long ago. Now they just show up for their shot to be on TV and have people talk about them. To quote Opie, "How much attention do you need?".

[Plunkies]

Hah. Sproles! The raiders may always lose but their fans are so obnoxious that it's still funny every time.

[LBF]

Don't kid yourself. Those guys stopped caring about the actual football team long ago. Now they just show up for their shot to be on TV and have people talk about them. To quote Opie, "How much attention do you need?".


I liken Raider fans to the bleacher bums at Wrigley. With these guys in Oakland...going to the game with their buddies/fellow lunatics is the event, the game is secondary. Just like the Cub fans that continued to pack the bleachers every day when the Cubs were absolutely horrible. Sitting in the bleachers getting hammered with their buddies was the event, the game didn't matter.

[Sprite]

Btw, is it just me or was the commentary a bit umm...awful for the 2nd game compared to the 1st?

There was just something that REALLY bothered me about it with the 2nd MNF game....almost like one of those DirecTV replay games where they cut out all the unnecessary stuff. I dunno, just very odd sounding.

[Chino Kapone]

I feel sorry for you guys on the east coast... Tomorrow is gonna be rough. It wil be rough for me and I don't have to be to work until 10.

Just happy to see I won my matchup. YaY!

That's not always been true though. I remember when I lived in Chicago I could walk up on any given day to the box office and buy a ticket to sit in the bleachers in Wrigley. It's really only been recently that it's been tough to get a ticket to a Cubs game and that only started when Prior and Wood took them to the NLCS. Sure there were always a good number of people there just to sit in the bleachers and drink beer when they were losing every year but they never dressed up and acted like jerk offs just to get on TV nor did they walk around with their Cubs hat on and a cup of Old Style beer so people would see them and go "Look it's a bleacher bum".

I'm not sure what you disagree with. I'm just saying there is a group of Cub superfans that will continue to sit in the bleachers and get hammered everyday regardless of how good/bad the team is. Likewise, there is a group of Raider superfans that will continue to get paint their faces and wear leather and spikes regardless of how good/bad the team is. For these guys, being a superfan is the event, the game is secondary.


And obviously, the Raider superfan take it to a whole nother level with the costumes.

I just realized that Matt Millen was with ESPN, I wonder till they start going under.

[Stormrider666]

A whole week of Belicheat being called a genius and Brady being the best QB of all time. I hope that McKelven guy is killed getting off the plane in Buffalo. Why would you not take a knee there?

Leon Lett is officially off the hook for making bone head plays. I hope McKelven is running laps for last night's stupidity.

Good. Mike and Mike are awful. Even if Steve thinks hes at a Carnival I would rather hear him.

I know its only a one night thing, but if ESPN is going to continue doing the MNF doubleheader, they have to get a better annouce team for the second game.

I feel sorry for you guys on the east coast... Tomorrow is gonna be rough. It wil be rough for me and I don't have to be to work until 10.

Just happy to see I won my matchup. YaY!

Between picking the Chargers for the survival league and having three of their players on my fantasy team, I thought I was going to have a shitty morning. Good to see everything worked out.

Gruden is really not too bad as an announcer.

Both MNF and NBC's Sunday night football have definitely improved their annoucing teams.

Speaking of which, anybody notice how smaller Rodney Harrison looked on NBC. Looks like someone has stop using steroids.

[Stormrider666]

They have made two absolutely horrible 'roughing the passer' calls against New England tonight. The first, the NE defender dove and hit Edwards in the waist right as he threw the ball. I guess that violated the new 'don't go after the legs' rule. The second penalty came on a sack. They said the defender slammed him too hard when he tackled him.


They need to just go ahead and put QBs in red "don't hit me" jerseys and be done with it.

I understand what you're saying about protecting the QB too much. But I did find it funny that one of those penalities was a result of the "Brady rule" and that the other one, Patriot supporters wanted Albert Haynesworth to get when he did the same thing to Brady in a preseason game.

How funny was it seeing Tom Brady trying to run from Suzy Kolber at the end of the game. It was a perfect example of why I think sideline reporters are one of the dumbest jobs in sports.

I have a feeling that the Bills are going to have about 10 piles of shit in that bed by the end of the season.

I think they (Jets) could go 10-6 but that is still at best second place in the AFC east.

Going into the season my expectation at best was 7-9. But if they can play defense like they did against the Texans and run the ball better (190 yards, and yes i need better) 12 wins isnt out of the question.

Need to remain healthy on the defensive line. Which wont be easy.

Front lawn of Bills CB Leodis McKelvin vandalized following loss to Patriots

By John Wawrow (CP) – 20 hours ago

HAMBURG, N.Y. — Bills players are concerned with their privacy and safety after the front lawn of a home belonging to cornerback Leodis McKelvin was vandalized following Buffalo's season-opening loss to New England.

Hamburg police on Tuesday confirmed the home of a Bills player was vandalized, but declined to release details of their investigation after an obscenity and the score of Monday night's game - a 25-24 loss to the Patriots - were painted in white on the player's lawn in suburban Buffalo.

[Stormrider666]

Why should he be happy, his team shit the bed.

Then maybe he shouldn't have dropped that one pass that would have kept one of the Bills drives going.

Fan shows that he cares.

That's pretty fucked up. Was it a bonehead move, yeah it was. But seriously, people need to remember its just a game.

Official Review, Week 1 (http://www.nfl.com/videos/nfl-network-total-access/09000d5d812adbab/Official-Review-Week-1)

They talk about the Oakland no TD call.

[askewcore]

Kerry Rhodes be talkin' some shit, yo.

The New York Jets' defenders are talking big for their Week 2 matchup against the New England Patriots. Earlier this week, defensive tackle Kris Jenkins called this game the Jets' "Super Bowl" and on Wednesday, free safety Kerry Rhodes said he wanted to "embarrass" the Patriots.

The Patriots (1-0) have owned the Jets (1-0) since Bill Belichick became their coach in 2000, going 13-6, including one playoff game, against New York. Tom Brady and Co. have won the past eight games played against the Jets at the Meadowlands.


Rhodes wants to change that -- and make a statement doing it.

"You go out from the first quarter on, from the first play on, and try to embarrass them," Rhodes said, according to the New York Daily News. "Not just go out there and try to win, try to embarrass them. Try to make them feel bad when they leave here. We don't want to just beat them. We want to send a message to them, 'We're not backing down from you and we expect to win this game, and it's not going to be luck, it's not going to be a mistake.' "

Belichick made the Patriots aware of Rhodes' comments Thursday.

"It's said one time, and that's it," Patriots running back Kevin Faulk said. "Coach brings it up and that's it. He says 'This is what was said, but don't worry about it. We have to go execute on the field.' This is not anything we're concerned about. That's it."

Running back Laurence Maroney had a different reaction.

"It's funny just listening to it," he said.

Jets coach Rex Ryan, the former Baltimore defensive coordinator, brought the attacking Ravens defense and its propensity for trash-talking to New York. The Jets surprised the Houston Texans in Week 1, romping to a 24-7 victory. The Jets' defense didn't allow a point, as Houston's lone score came on a defensive touchdown.

Brady, returning from a knee injury that cost him almost the entire 2008 season, was hit only six times by the Buffalo Bills in Week 1's comeback victory. Rhodes said Brady will be hit far more often by the Jets' defense, which hit Texans quarterback Matt Schaub eight times in Week 1.


"We will hit him more than six times. I promise you that," Rhodes said, according to the Daily News.

Rhodes insisted the Jets "won't play dirty" but that Brady will be vulnerable.

"I'm sure if somebody is around his leg, or he feels pressure below, he's not going to step into his throw," Rhodes said, according to the Daily News.

"Any quarterback can be rattled," Rhodes said, according to the newspaper. "He's one of the best, don't get me wrong. That's evident. Any quarterback, Peyton Manning, even if you get in his face, if you rattle the quarterback, you get pressure on the quarterback, any quarterback it is, he's not going to be the same. Nobody. That's not to say he's not going to come back and make a play after."

Brady, in remarks to reporters on Wednesday, said he wasn't rattled by the Jets' tough talk and that in the end, "talk is cheap."

"I think we follow the lead of our head coach," Brady said. "I think because we feel a certain way, we don't necessarily need to tell everybody about it. I mean, we're confident. We have as much confidence as most teams in the league.

"No matter what you say on a Tuesday or Wednesday or Thursday, it doesn't matter much. I think our execution is what's most important and that's what we choose to focus on."

I can't help but laugh everytime somebody comes out in the press and talks loads of smack. Has that ever worked (aside from Namath's predicted win 40 years ago)?

[Stormrider666]

I guess somebody didn't see what happen the last time a safety talked shit about the Patriots. Trust me, I would love to see the Patriots lose on Sunday, but play the game first before you start talking shit.

Either Andy Reid is the dumbest man on the planet or he needs to fire the guys in the press box that tell him when to challenge calls. 14 reversed calls in 43 total challenges? That is beyond horrible.

49ers apparently file tampering charges against the Jets (http://www.nj.com/jets/index.ssf/2009/09/mt-preview-fe8ec8beee6ad7f63179df7cb8480cf4eea5d9eb.html)

The San Francisco 49ers have reportedly filed tampering charges against the Jets regarding holdout rookie wide receiver Michael Crabtree, according to a report in Monday's Daily News.

The Jets have denied the charges through a team spokesman, and coach Rex Ryan called the allegations "ridiculous" Monday morning on the "Mike and Mike" radio show.

"We'll let the NFL figure that one out," he said. "I think it's ridiculous, personally. ... I wish we were playing them."

The NFL does not comment while investigating tampering charges.

Crabtree is embroiled in a bitter holdout with the 49ers, and has threatened to sit out the entire season and re-enter the NFL Draft in 2010.

The 49ers have until Oct. 20, the NFL trading deadline, to trade Crabtree's rights to another team, who would then have a chance to negotiate a contract with the 2009 10th overall pick. If the 49ers do not trade Crabtree, they have until Nov. 19 to sign him or forfeit his rights.

He has turned down a five-year, $20 million contract that includes $16 million guaranteed. It is believed that Crabtree feels he's better than several players taken ahead of him and wants to get paid as such.

Raiders wide receiver Darris Heyward-Bey, selected seventh overall, signed a five-year deal that reportedly guarantees him $23.5 million, and Crabtree wants at least that much money.

Earlier this season, the Broncos accused the Jets of tampering with disgruntled wide receiver Brandon Marshall, who was reportedly on the trading block, though the Broncos did not file charges with the league.

In 2006, however, the Patriots filed charges against the Jets accusing them of tampering with wide receiver Deion Branch, another player believed to be on the trading block. The NFL exonerated the Jets on those charges.

I don't have a problem with the Patriots spot in that list. I think they're one of the best 10 teams in the league, they're just nowhere near the top 2 or 3 like everyone thought.

Every single person in the US, including the whole Bills team knew exactly what Tom Brady was going to do in the closing minutes of the game. They let him do it anyway. Their loss is their own fault. They played soft zone coverage and let them march down the field at 15-20 yards at a clip.

Yeah, the number one offense in the league is a joke. The defense has improved 100% over last year. Bush is the most overrated player about 98% of the time. The other 2%, he's amazing. Bell is injured, so Reggie better step it up today.

[Stormrider666]

IF The Redskins lose to the Lions, I want Jim Zorn fired TODAY. As soon as we walks off the field, give Zorn his walking papers. Don't even allow him in the fucking locker room.

Okay not only do I want Zorn fired, I want every player released. Blow this shit up and start over from scratch.

[Mother Shucker]

Holy fuck snot, FAVRE!

[Stormrider666]

If this touchdown holds up, then you know why the Vikings wanted Favre.

[The Sarge]

Favre still has it. Although, the Niners should have sacked him.

Oh well. Whaddya do?

[Biff Hardslab]

Dammit! Chicago got all excited over this hack Cutler. I'm one of the many that think Favre should have hung it up 3 years ago, but man, I'd trade him for Cutler in a nanosecond.

[GLENN_THE_TOOL]

fucking Favre. he's a fossil yet he can still sling that ball.

and i guess we know who the weakest link in the NFC East is today after the Skins/Lions game.

[The Sarge]

At least the Niners are poised to make the playoffs this year. Even to win the West.

Seriously, the Redskins should be embarassed and have no right to be known as a NFC east team. I actually had high hopes for the team this year and picked them to win the wildcard.

[Absolutely]

The Redskins only beat the Rams by 2 points last week, I definitely thought they would lose today to the Lions.

After looking at the Rams schedule, I had them winning 2 games including the Lions, but now I'm thinking 1 game.

Welcome to St.Louis Sam Bradford!

Pennington is done. I have no idea how he came back from two shoulder surgeries to begin with. I think he would make a very good coach in the NFL.

Anyone else think Collinsworth looks like he aged 20 years since last season?

[iSpeakEloquent]

Every single person in the US, including the whole Bills team knew exactly what Tom Brady was going to do in the closing minutes of the game. They let him do it anyway. Their loss is their own fault. They played soft zone coverage and let them march down the field at 15-20 yards at a clip.

i think that's what i said

i didn't know tom brady was wearing a mckelvin jersey and kick returning for buffalo.


Yeah, the number one offense in the league is a joke. The defense has improved 100% over last year. Bush is the most overrated player about 98% of the time. The other 2%, he's amazing. Bell is injured, so Reggie better step it up today.

when was the last time the #1 offense won the super bowl? 1999?

see you in week 6

IF The Redskins lose to the Lions, I want Jim Zorn fired TODAY. As soon as we walks off the field, give Zorn his walking papers. Don't even allow him in the fucking locker room.

the redskins look like they skipped training camp and just went right into the regular season with no practice

[iSpeakEloquent]

Fixed that for ya. :icon_mrgr



thank u sir

[NotSoFast]

The Saints defense is looking better all the time. They held the Bills offense scoreless for the entire game. So much for being "overrated", I suppose.

[iSpeakEloquent]

not so fast notsofast. it's just the bills. Didn't they give up 390 passing yards to kevin kolb last week?

A capsule in his shoulder burst. I have no idea what that even means but that's what I heard on ESPN radio.

What bugs me the most is how pathetic they have looked against the two non division opponents. I can handle losing to the Giants on the road. But they should have dominated the Rams and the Lions. Just like the other teams in the NFC east did against their non division opponents.

[XMScott]

Tampa's more screwed than Miami...all 3 of their QB's are black :rolleyes:

what's Pennington's injury this time? Torn Labrum/rotor cuff?

Miami Dolphins quarterback Chad Pennington reportedly suffered a dislocated shoulder in Sunday's 23-13 loss to the San Diego Chargers.

Pennington, 33, underwent tests Monday that confirmed the dislocation, a source told The Associated Press.

http://www.cbc.ca/sports/football/story/2009/09/28/sp-nfl-dolphins-pennington.html

Retire already. Be a great QB coach, into a head coach, etc.

[Chino Kapone]

Pennington is only 33, but his arm is 45.

[Absolutely]

This Cowboys game is boring as balls...
And I made the mistake of having ESPN's Countdown show on the whole time in the background, so it seems like the game as been on since 6pm.

[XMScott]

Come on DeAngelo Williams . I need 11 points from him

[Absolutely]

What does Jake Delhomme love more?
Breathing or Throwing Ints

How does a guy like Newman need oxygen on the sidelines?

[Absolutely]

Delhomme's last 4 games, 12 INTS

It was annoying how Jaws and Gruden were pretending like the Panther might be able to come back with under 2 minutes and score 2 TDs...
What's the point of criticizing their weak play calls when they're down 14 with no time left?

[maxeypad]

yeah Delhomme has really lost the past few years....i totally remember him helping Carolina making it to the Super Bowl here in Houston in 2003.....what the hell happened?!

wait, the colts barely beat 2 mediocre teams, win one against what is probably a nfc champ fluke and they move above the giants? i know tampa sucks but the giants absolutely dominated them like it was a harlem globetrotters game. espn continues to just suck the dick of the same teams every year. Colts & pats. I can't believe they actually have bal at 1 which is actually deserved. plus i think the vikes are good but the jets' 3 wins are more impressive. And i see they remembered denver won this week

redskins should be 31, not 32 cuz hey did barely beat that team

The Colts have been one of the tops teams in the NFL over the last decade as have the Pats. And if you weren't impressed by the Colts win over the Dolphins than you don't know football. That game was amazing and set a record.

[Fred Told Me]

This isn't College Football. Why is everybody making such a big deal about ESPN's Power Rankings? Who cares. Everybody has different opinions. Not everybody's lists are going to be the same. The beautty about the NFL is that they actually have this thing called the Playoffs so they don't have to rely on a stupid Ranking system to determine who plays for a Championship.

[Large Marge]

Pretty good year again in terms or parity. Got the top tier which is the top 6. then the next 10 which could be competitive. The bottom 15 don't have much chance.

Relax, its just a dumb list, you don't need to remind everyone about the media's bias towards certain teams. We all know. Repeating the same shit each week isn't going to make your Jets a better team.

[askewcore]

Repeating the same shit each week isn't going to make your Jets a better team.

And bad mouthing the Jets isn't gonna give the Patriots a W against them.

Call it an obession of mine, but I love pointing out ESPN's love affair with certain teams and players. I do realize that in the grand scheme of things in the NFL, the power rankings don't mean shit. But I think they're a perfect example of ESPN sometimes taking itself too seriously.

[Jimmy's Dignity]

^^
Bingo

I was tempted to include SI's & Sportsline's but was too lazy

[NotSoFast]

not so fast notsofast. it's just the bills. Didn't they give up 390 passing yards to kevin kolb last week?

The Saints are averaging 40 points per game while allowing the opponent's offenses an average of 16.3 points. Sounds more than acceptable to me.

390 yards was pretty good...good enough for less than half the points they allowed their opponent to score. It doesn't matter if you have a 1,000 yard game if you can't score half the points that you allow.

The Jets this week will be a test. Their defense hasn't allowed many points. Though, those 3 teams they Jets beat have averaged less than 20 points per game so far this season. The Jets also average 21.3 points per game. "IF" the averages of both offenses and both defenses hold true, New Orleans still comes out on top.

I am really looking forward to see how this week's game plays out.

its not the 1999-2009 nfl power rankings, it is about this season

the colts win may be impressive but the dolphins suck a dick. In college football if you beat a terrible team your ranking doesn't usually jump over a team that dominated the team they beat.

One major reason why I love the Redzone channel is no commercials. It just sucks watching the 8 o'clock games.

Yes, fuck CBS right in their asses. The didn't show a 1pm game locally which is bullshit. I'm in the Philly market and the eagles have a bye this week. That should have meant that Fox and CBS would each show two games today but that wasn't the case.

Not true... The Rams are the worst team in football, they have 70 Yards of offense in the first half so far.
Just touched/fielded a punt in their own endzone and S.F recovers for a TD
(I think that's what happened)

They're really going to go 0-16, the only "beatable" team on paper would be the Lions. And the Lions would beat the fuck out of the Rams.

John Lynch is doing his 3rd Rams game so far this season for FOX. I feel so bad for him.

Colts
Patriots

http://cache.gawker.com/assets/images/deadspin/2009/10/manning_signature.jpg


That's Eli Manning's signature on a column in the Cowboys Stadium's visitors locker room according to an NBCDFW user.

"See the picture of a concrete column in the visitor locker room in the new Cowboys stadium," the NBCDFW.com user wrote. "I heard the locker room was spat on and had many used jock straps hanging from the mirrors and other places too. What class."

If the story is true don't judge Eli too harshly, he was probably just trying to fit in with the older boys. He's so impressionable.

I hope it's true and I LOVE it. I'm generally not a big fan of locker room nonsense like this, but when that asshat Jerry Jones is on the receiving end it brings a huge smile to my face.

I hope Eli pissed on the star after they cleared out the stands.

[iSpeakEloquent]

Their next four games are New England, @San Diego, @Baltimore and Pittsburgh.

We'll see how good they really are.

6-2 is my guess, anyone else? i say they beat sd and either ne or pit

Could he give some pointers to Steve Spagnuolo?
I read that Rams safety O.J Atogwe is banging his daughter, I guess she didn't have any good info on the 49ers

see oj isn't doing it right, ur supposed to bang the coaches daughter before the draft like chris snee.

spags took over a team that had no defense and an old offense that hasn't worked in over 5 years. Sings took over a team that had talent but no coaching, the players respect him

[Fred Told Me]

6-2 is my guess, anyone else? i say they beat sd and either ne or pit




4-4 is my guess. They are the worst 4-0 team in the history of Football. They won a game on a fluke play, beat an over rated team with an over rated QB, and beat 2 lousy teams.

Maybe they win 1 of these next 4. That's about as good as they will do.
No way they win 2

[chumpy]

Touche. A win is a win. But I'm still not happy with their performance.



As much as I love seeing Dallas lose, I can't believe the Broncos are 4-0 either.

Hey trust me I agree with you. I am a skins fan but I can't understand why they can't get their shit together on a more constant basis. The first half was shit. Third quarter strong and I didn't see the fourth.

A win is good but be more fucking consistant!!!

Also, A Dallas loss is always good :icon_mrgr

kind of off topic, but with it being Breast Cancer Awareness Month in the NFL, I was bummed no one was wearing pink socks

great weekend of foozball.....i hope farve gets his ass kicked tonight...it won't happen....but i can dream

[fandango86]

Holy shit, wtf is up with my Broncos? Are you telling me Mike Shanahan was really a dumb piece of shit the past few years and I didn't notice/believe it?

[Fred Told Me]

I'm kind of sick of all the talk about the Broncos. All the Broncos have proven is that they are not as bad as the bottom tier teams in this league that we thought they were.

If they started the season with the 4 game stretch that they have coming up. Then they would be at best 1-3 right now and nobody would be saying anything about the Broncos.

[askewcore]

Holy shit, wtf is up with my Broncos? Are you telling me Mike Shanahan was really a dumb piece of shit the past few years and I didn't notice/believe it?

I wouldnt blame Shanahan, it's not like the offense is lighting the world on fire. But the defense looks really solid. They were flying around the field yesterday against the Cowboys. They have a nice mix of young speedy players, and experienced veterans. I was scoffing at them being 3-0, but they impressed yesterday. I hate when people say a team's not good because they haven't beaten anyone. You can only beat who's on your schedule.

[Jimmy's Dignity]

You can only beat who's on your schedule.

another thing that sucks with the NCAA & the BCS

[LBF]

I see the Broncos being 5-3 after the next four games. They will win one of the games (most likely the SD game) and that's it.

My mistake, for some reason I thought the SD game was in Denver. I can see the Broncos losing all 4 of those games. No way they beat Baltimore on the road, the Pats seem to have gotten things figured out a little better and the Steelers are going to get their stuff together.

don't get me wrong, they fuckin suck, but i still think they pull out 2. The chargers are the most inconsistent team of the last 10 years. Both west divisions are a mess. It is week 5 coming up and the 49ers are 5 wins away from clinching the division.

[maxeypad]

Jared Allen is a beast....great player
I wish I had Jared Allen lined up on one side, and Mario Williams on the other.....that would be sick
and as far as the Broncos go....they're doing well so far....don't know if it will carry all 16 games....but great story so far

and Eli with plascar fasciitis....thats a bummer for him....

Their D played really well against the Saints. They probably would have won the game if not for Sanchez, or if they ran the ball more.

[Fred Told Me]

The Ravens lose a close game in New England and drop from #1 to #7. The Jets lose by 14 points in Orleans and move up a spot.

This is why these Rankings should not be taken seriously.

They shutdown the NFL's most explosive offense this season for 3 quarters. Holding them to only one TD on Sunday.

Had it not been for some rookie mistakes the Jets won that game. Much like they have won all 4 games. Defense baby. Calvin Pace is back.


-- Jets Won’t Restrict Calvin Pace --
Tue Oct 6, 2009 --from FFMastermind.com
#
The Star Ledger reports New York Jets HC Rex Ryan left little doubt he was thrilled to welcome back OLB Calvin Pace this week. “I wasn't going to kiss him on the lips,” Ryan said. “But I thought about it.”
Pace returned to the team Monday after serving a four-week suspension for violating the league's policy on banned performance enhancing substances.

“I've never been so happy to see 58 guys in my life,” Pace said. Pace, the team's best pass rusher last season, joins a unit that has created havoc through the first four games. The seventh-year pro gives Ryan another weapon for a group that held the Saints' high-powered offense to just 10 points. The Jets defense has given up just 36 points (three touchdowns and five field goals) this season. Ryan said that he won't restrict Pace in any way. “Monday can't come quick enough,” Pace said. “I take pride in not taking plays off and not coming off the field. But they're going to have to drag me off now.”

No more Vernon Gholston!

[Jimmy's Dignity]

I agree that the Jets D looked really impressive, but I didn't think they looked impressive enough to move up in the rankings...if anything they should have just stayed put at 6

[askewcore]

Much like they have won all 4 games.

Psst...they only won three games. The Jets defense is good, but I'm fucking sick of hearing about it already. People in NY are making like it's the '85 Bears, and they're not even the best defense in the city. :D

Singletary should tell Michael Crabtree to FUCK OFF.

I'm happily surprised the Redskins moved up so much

[DJ Evel Ed]

The NFL is becoming a league of pussies with all this QB protection. Sure protect the QB from the overly aggressive stuff but its fucking football!!! They have to be able to hit the QB in the NFL. Why are they so damn concerned with old retired players being punch drunk? Thats the profession they chose! There is no such thing as player safety in the NFL. Its a dangerous sport! (Or it used to be)
Sure it's sad to see Mohammad Ali today, but are they going to change boxing so that you cant hit the head anymore? Its the profession he chose. Same for the QB's. On top of that, the refs are totally inconsistant in calling these fouls. This year is the worst Ive seen in game changing ticky tack fouls. Lets just put a skirt on Tom Brady.
Back in the old days, the QB's like YA Tittle were tough as linebackers and they would have to play through the pain. Not so much anymore. Theres a bunch of big tough QB's who could take a hit. (Big Ben, Manning, Cutler etc...) and they have to be protected from being driven into the ground, late hits, maybe even helmet to helmet, but this other shit has gotta go. A sack should not be a penalty. I blame the owners because they signed off on these rules. The owners just care about their financial investments and not the integrity of the game anymore. Fuck the owners and their lawyers, just like radio.

Im liking rugby more & more as the NFL gets more & more pussified. I cant even argue with the Aussies and the Brits anymore when they talk shit about the NFL. Rugby players are tougher nowadays and it's fucking embarassing and sucky sticking up for the NFL. This is not the same game I grew up on. LT would be the most penalized player had he played today. (Uh thats Lawrence Taylor, not Ladanian)

If Tom Brady is so worried about getting hurt, maybe he should be an umbrella holder at Giselle's photo shoots.

[Hoagie]

Stop with the rugby horseshit. At least Australian rules football has a certain violence to it but neither sees the kind of routine ultra violent collisions that the NFL does. The NFL isn't softer because the players wear pads....the players hit harder because they have them. I agree that the protection for QBs is a bit over the top but the NFL really would suck if you lost too many starting QBs. And as sports science gets progresses the people hitting the QBs are not only getting bigger and stronger but they're getting faster. And if some limey or kangaroo fucker tries to give you shit about the NFL just remind them what happened to the last Australian rules football player that underestimated the violence of the NFL.

What the fuck was that hit about?

[Hoagie]

What the fuck was that hit about?That's the case of an Australian rules football player that thinks that hitting in American football is nothing compared to what he's used to. So instead of protecting himself after punting the ball he figured he'd saunter towards the ball carrier and got a hard lesson in just how hard the hits in the NFL really are.

[askewcore]

Braylon Edwards is a Jet (http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/news/story?id=4538498)

For some ST player, Chansi Stuckey and "a couple of draft picks"

At least if there's gonna be an asshole WR in New York, he won't be wearing blue...or winning a super bowl.

[Jimmy's Dignity]

I'm glad that Braylon is finally out of Cleveland...hopefully he doesn't suck for the Jets.


Speaking of WR's, Crabtree stopped being as much of a cunt & signed a contract (http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/news/story?id=4538482&campaign=rss&source=ESPNHeadlines)

After months of holding out, wide receiver Michael Crabtree has agreed to a contract with the San Francisco 49ers, league sources told ESPN NFL Insider Adam Schefter.

Crabtree will get a six-year deal that he can void to five years if he meets undefined performance clauses, a league source told ESPN's Michael Smith.

The 22-year-old Crabtree is expected to report to the team's training facility Wednesday.

Crabtree and agent Eugene Parker met into the early-morning hours Wednesday with 49ers owner Jed York, general manager Scot McCloughan and Paraag Marathe, vice president of football operations. The two sides had gone almost three weeks without talking.

San Francisco selected Crabtree with the 10th pick in this year's draft and could use the wideout's game-breaking ability in the passing game. That said, he has a lot of catching up to do to learn the offense after missing all of training camp.

He also sat out the 49ers' offseason minicamps and organized team activities while recovering from a foot injury, but was a regular presence for rehabilitation and strengthening workouts at the team's training facility.

Coach Mike Singletary, whose 49ers lead the NFC West and at 3-1 are off to their best start since 2002, said Monday he would welcome Crabtree whenever he joins the team.

Crabtree caught 97 passes for 1,165 yards and 19 touchdowns last year during his sophomore season at Texas Tech. He finished his college career with 231 receptions for 3,127 yards and 41 TDs.

[askewcore]

I'm glad that Braylon is finally out of Cleveland...hopefully he doesn't suck for the Jets.

Well, it's not like New York has a crazy nightlife he can indulge in. Like say, Cleveland....

It'll be good for Sanchez to have the security blanket like Plax was for Eli, except that Edwards isn't nearly as consistent (or good) as Burress and is more likely to get in trouble. But still, he's a big guy who can save some bad throws and can break one with YAC yards. If he keeps himself straight, he could be a huge player for them. I guess anything is better than Jericho Cotchery as your #1.

[Hoagie]

People seem to forget the reason why Braylon Edwards wasn't producing in Cleveland was because he can't catch the ball. He'll a big game for the Jets every once in a long while but he probably won't be much of a steady contributor.

And having Brady Quinn as his QB didn't help either.

[Hoagie]

And having Brady Quinn as his QB didn't help either.Most of last year and last week he had Derek Anderson and Anderson was good enough for Mohamed Massaquoi to catch 8 passes for 148 yards. The Browns don't have great QBs but they aren't the worst....well ok...Derek Anderson isn't the worst starting QB in the league.

[Aaron Burrito]

Cotchery is currently 5th in Reception Yards in the NFL. When you need to make a play you go to Cotchery. And he is fantastic after the catch (YAC).

Edwards if anything opens up the field for the Jets. Allowing the running game to work better, throws to Cotchery, Keller, and Leon Washington.

Its tough to win games with 8-9 in the box. See what happened in the Saints game.
