Week 3 Day Games Thead

[BallHawk]

Tampa Bay and Chicago are already off to an unfriendly start. Shoving all-around.

[BallHawk]

Lance Briggs catches a tipped ball for an INT.

[gex]

Man, I just replaced Kitna w/C. Taylor @ the flex position in my million $ fanball league. Hope it doesn't bite me in the ass.

[BallHawk]

Robbie Gould kicks a FG to make it 3-0. Shoving follows the kick once again.

Wouldn't be surprised if this game sees an ejection or two.

[BallHawk]

A flag for taunting and more shoving after the kickoff.

Jesus. :shock:

[BallHawk]

Washington scores early to make it 7-0.

[mission]

Frerotte just threw a pick after missing a couple passes. Panthers have the ball and up 3-0

[mission]

Miami up 7-0 on the Patsies ...

This could be a rough FF week for me... is AP even playing?

EDIT - yes, AP is playing

Campbell looks sharp against the Cards ...

[GrnBay007]

A flag for taunting and more shoving after the kickoff.

Jesus. :shock:

Funny how much shoving around right in the beginning of the game. Bears D didn't look strong at all on that last drive when TB scored. 7-6 TB

My choices for early games - Chicago or MN....ugh!

[Pacopete4]

Minnesota's offense is just horrible woweeee.... they might have the most talented offensive player in the league and they cant move the ball haha

[BallHawk]

Gus rockin' a 16.3 passer rating so far....

[Pacopete4]

I will say that the INT he threw was pretty poor on Berrian

[gbgary]

minn down 10-0

[The Gunshooter]

Orton just rolled right into the pass rush and hit the defensive tackle right in stride for a TD depending on replay.

[RashanGary]

Chicago not lookin' too good.

[The Gunshooter]

The call on the field was overturned. TD Tampa Bay.

[RashanGary]

Watching Orton, Jackson, Frerotte and Kitna sure makes you appreciate Aaron Rodgers. It also makes you appreciate TT holding firm on not just releasing Brett FAvre to one of these losers.

[gbgary]

Chicago not lookin' too good.

they're wilting in the tampa sunshine. oops...it's in chicago. my bad. :lol:

[gbgary]

what's up with cinn hanging with ny?

[mmmdk]

Bungles catching G-men :shock:

[The Gunshooter]

Watching Orton, Jackson, Frerotte and Kitna sure makes you appreciate Aaron Rodgers. It also makes you appreciate TT holding firm on not just releasing Brett FAvre to one of these losers.

I've been busy with other things but as soon as I started watching I noticed three runs by three different QB's and zero slides. If the only mistake Rodgers made is holding the ball too long once and not sliding once I would say he is doing a tremendous job so far.

[Pacopete4]

boy it'd sure be nice if NY took a loss today.. always helps for later in the season

[RashanGary]

Man, Rodgers has to stay healthy though. It looks like we're going to be relying on the QB more than any team in our division and our rookies cannot be even close to Rodgers right now.


Next year I think we could be looking great at QB. Right now we're just hopeing Rodgers stays healthy.

[The Gunshooter]

Mighty mite just busted a fake punt.

[Pacopete4]

I'm not tryin to bitch here.. but these games have ZERO to do with Rodgers..

we all know our situation, we've discussed it for months now..

[mission]

ya that would be good pete.

i have three little games goin on right now on my screen.

AP is getting no carries in MN it seems.. this drive he's got a couple.

raiders are punching the bills in the mouth on both sides of the ball.

miami is running this spread offense with ronnie broewn at QB, penn split out and running it with hand offs to wiliams or direct runs with brown. patriots cant figure it out.. dolphins just scored again. ronnie brown 3tds !!!!

[RashanGary]

Typical Bears. Gimmick their way into a couple extra points. Why do I doubt them turning this into 7? Probably because their offense and QB suck balls.

Watching other teams helps me to gauge what we have. I guess I relate our team to other teams as they play. It gives perspective to where we are at.

[RashanGary]

Gosh, Orton is bad. He holds the ball way too long and can't make anything happen when it breaks down.

[GrnBay007]

WOW Miami 21 NE 6

:shock:

[Pacopete4]

While Orton may not be that good.. I think its time the Bears reassess their O in general... sooner or later its not just your QB... how bout looking at ur protection and WR's?... I cannot believe they've just had that long of a bad run with QB's

[gbgary]

minn just got lucky. 10-10

[RashanGary]

While Orton may not be that good.. I think its time the Bears reassess their O in general... sooner or later its not just your QB... how bout looking at ur protection and WR's?... I cannot believe they've just had that long of a bad run with QB's

Yeah. They're a bad offensive TEAM. Orton is not very sure of himself though. It's like that team just plays scared and when they did finally take a shot it should have been a TD and it was a INT.

[Pacopete4]

Its like the bears are happy with scrapping out games and hoping their O doesn't lose it for them because it never seems like they try to change anything

[RashanGary]

Its like the bears are happy with scrapping out games and hoping their O doesn't lose it for them because it never seems like they try to change anything

For sure. Lovie seems to really hold their QB's back. McCarthy has given the game to a first year QB and really asked him to win the game by passing over 300 yds and 3 TD's. Lovie just seems to believe defense and ST's can do it. It works out well for them in bad weather, but damn, you have to be more than a godo bad weather team to win the SB. You have to have some balance and you have to pass the ball to really score points.

[GBRulz]

WOW Miami 21 NE 6

:shock:

I know...this would wipe out half of the Survival League!!

I've got Robbie Gould in FF so I love Orton.

[RashanGary]

I've got Robbie Gould in FF so I love Orton.

haha. That's nice that you picked a guy in the division that scores points by the opposition stalling in the redzone.

I just put Sidney Rice on my bench thinking Frerotte will be able to do some decent things with that dominate running back and over commited safeties. IT's kind of wierd hoping for the Vikings to do something well.

[mission]

Randy Moss is playing super lazy now. Gave up on a slant cuz it was kinda high and almost got picked off. He just kind of walked slowly over to the sideline...

He's such a rollercoaster

[GBRulz]

Apparently, he doesn't feel like playing today!!

When the going gets tough, the tough um... gets going?

EDIT - i just got him in a FF trade from Don Hutson and gave up Michael Turner. That's lookin awesome right now ....... :roll:

Got rid of Roddy White too for MAtt Cassel too...

might as well call me the Matt Millen of FF :cry: :cry: :cry:

[mission]

Wow!!!

What is a Harvey burger? Anyone had one? Canadian!? Looks amazing!! Im hungry !! lol

[GBRulz]

Queens now up 17-10

[GrnBay007]

What the HELL???? All 3 of my survival picks in my $ pool are losing!!! :evil:

[mmmdk]

Queens now up 17-10


Panthers are cardiac kids; I never saw Vikings out of it.

[mmmdk]

Remember when Patsies humiliated Dolphins at Miami last season - PAYBACK.

Packers should payback Cowboys too :P

[mission]

28-6 miami over NE

[GrnBay007]

28-6 miami over NE

I'm ill :(

[Pacopete4]

the only thing that bothers me is this gives that loudmouth Porter credit for speaking out

[GBRulz]

Remember when Patsies humiliated Dolphins at Miami last season - PAYBACK.

Packers should payback Cowboys too :P

Actually, didn't Miami embarrass NE two years ago? They were like 0-13 or something?? I usually never choose division opponents in survival pool games.

Miami 6-10 record in 2006 but Dolphins won 21-0 over Pats at Miami

[GBRulz]

Bears just got a TD. hate to say it, but Orton looked really good on that drive.

Yup. That was the last game that NE lost actually... the irony...

The Raiders look like a real football team with Ryan as coach... they're smackin the Bills around pretty hard. Just scored a TD after some pounding on the ground with McFadden & Bush. Russell on the sneak.



NE just scored... Gaffney from Cassell... Matt is gettin banged around quite a bit by Porter and crew still tho.

[RashanGary]

Bears just got a TD. hate to say it, but Orton looked really good on that drive.

Yeah. I was really hoping the division would take a shit today and leave it wide open for us to back into if it comes to it.

[mmmdk]

Miami has upset NE numerous times during Brady era.

[mission]

RONNIE BROWN... BEAST... 4tds... big long run

[BallHawk]

I feel sorry for the people that haven't started Ronnie Brown. Using standard scoring Ronnie has racked up 39 points so far. :shock:

[mission]

Aaaaand.... Miami just got the ball back on a TO lol

[RashanGary]

Brian Grease should be shot.

[BallHawk]

TD Bears. Nice throw by Orton and nice catch by Lloyd.

[gbgary]

minn and chi seem pumped at the thought of us possibly dropping a game closer to them.

[Pacopete4]

guess I shouldn't of chirped about the Bears offense :roll:

[RashanGary]

Bears D/ST's looks good and their O didn't do anything stupid early in the game and wore them down late in the game.

The Bears are not spectacular, but they're hard to score on and they wear on you over the course of the game. The time of possession is awfull.

[RashanGary]

Woo wee. That was a nice hit on a QB.

[BallHawk]

Griese throws it too high for George Clooney.

[BallHawk]

Giants score. 23-20 with under 2 minutes to play.

Could be upset city. NE down, looks like BUF down, maybe NYG.

[GBRulz]

Cool....Bucs just got a TD.

[BallHawk]

TD Bucs.

What a drive by Griese and the Bucs.

XP for the tie.....good.

OT!

[mission]

Giants score. 23-20 with under 2 minutes to play.

Could be upset city. NE down, looks like BUF down, maybe NYG.

i think buff is gonna win.. edwards looks so good back there

[Pacopete4]

ya but I think I'd rather see the Bears win than Jeremy Stevens catch the TD pass.. that guy doesnt deserve to be anywhere but jail

[Bretsky]

Giants score. 23-20 with under 2 minutes to play.

Could be upset city. NE down, looks like BUF down, maybe NYG.

i think buff is gonna win.. edwards looks so good back there



Lynch is a star as well

he LOOKS like such a football player. too... huge lower trunk.. i like watching him run.

[Pacopete4]

two OT games?... awesome!

[GBRulz]

I'd rather see the Bears win

Words that should never come out of a Packer fans mouth!! :shock:

[BallHawk]

Lots of great games today.

[Pacopete4]

I'd rather see the Bears win

Words that should never come out of a Packer fans mouth!! :shock:


Do you know who Jeremy Stevens is?... the guy is a drunk rapist... he does not deserve a TD to tie up the game, therefore the Bears win by default ha

[BallHawk]

The Bears have had their fair share of crooks as well.....

[Bretsky]

Here comes a Bills attempted FG for the win

[BallHawk]

Nice run by Dunn.

[GBRulz]

I do but it's not like he's the only person in the NFL that shouldn't be playing because of their off the field behavior. and no, I'm not saying I'm condoning it, by far.

[gbgary]

go tampa!

[GBRulz]

Come on...wipe that smirk off Lovie's face !!

[Pacopete4]

Bills WIN!

[Pacopete4]

I'll be so happy with a Bucs and Cincy win

[mission]

Bills WIN!

called that comeback 8-) :D

[BallHawk]

Bills WIN!

38-yarder by Lindell to win it. Nice.

[BallHawk]

Stovall drops a big pass.

[GBRulz]

geez Tampa, come on.

[boiga]

Wow, lots of good games today.


Bucs fail, chicago ball.

[BallHawk]

geez Tampa, come on.

Intentional grounding is a killer.

[Pacopete4]

anyone gonna call a tie yet?... a punt by all 4 teams in OT right now

[GBRulz]

crappy punt, Bidwell.

[BallHawk]

2 changes of possesion so far in the NYG games. NYG received, then to CIN, back to NYG.

[boiga]

Damn, they're not showing the over time chicago game here.

[GBRulz]

Wow, 9 teams out with NE in Survival today.

[Pacopete4]

Eli Manning is becoming a real good QB in this league.. kid is clutch

[BallHawk]

Wow, 9 teams out with NE in Survival today.

Last time I trust those bastards.

[BallHawk]

Nice catch by Toomer. Looks like the Giants win this one.

[GBRulz]

The Bears are self destructing right now... I like it!

[mission]

Nice catch by Toomer. Looks like the Giants win this one.

dude got like 4 feet in on that catch :lol:

[GBRulz]

damn good punt, pinned the Bucs @ the 5 yd line.

[gbgary]

giants win

[boiga]

Giants win. Good effort by the Bengals though.

The NYG are lucky they have such an easy schedule though. They're not looking particularly dominant.

[GBRulz]

Seattle is my pick for survival this week. They lead early 10-0

[BallHawk]

And temper comes full circle.

[gbgary]

a hockey game has broken out at chicago

[BallHawk]

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

God, I love the Bears.

[BallHawk]

Actually, that was the Bucs that instigated.

[GBRulz]

The officials are going to be called out again on that play.

[gbgary]

dunn in a tampa uniform...the world is right.

[BallHawk]

Clooney!

[gbgary]

niiiiice

[GBRulz]

sweet....Bucs win !!!

[gbgary]

da bears

[BallHawk]

Time for the Bears fans to start bitching.

[Pacopete4]

nice!.. hopefully by the end of the night we'll have a 2 game lead on our division and headed to Tampa to knock them off


hopefully Pitt drops Philly too and gives us a lead with them as well.. never to early to start thinking playoffs and seeding

[RashanGary]

The Bears are self destructing right now... I like it!

:)

Me too!!

[Pacopete4]

Cutler with 2 TDs already and up 14-3 over NO... Cutler and the Broncos are gooood

[GBRulz]

Cutler with 2 TDs already and up 14-3 over NO... Cutler and the Broncos are gooood

yes, it always helps to have refs make bad calls in your favor, too.

[boiga]

Cutler with 2 TDs already and up 14-3 over NO... Cutler and the Broncos are gooood

And the Lions are already down 14-0 at the end of the 1st quarter.

Kitna and the Lions are baaaaaad.

Kitna already gave up 14 points?.. ya he sucks at defense

[boiga]

Well, 4/9 for 24 yards and a lost fumble ain't helping his D any.

They did just score a field goal, so at least they won't be 21-0 this week.

[Rastak]

Just got back from the Vikings game. Vikings defense is really playing some inspired football. Front four terrorized the QB all day.

Frerotte played OK....nothing special but he did something Jackson wasn't. He got Carolina out of the 8 and 9 man in the box routine. The Colts played all run last week and AD put up 160. Today with a sore hammy and splitting time with Taylor he got 77 so I have higher hopes for their offense going forward. They aren't in Green Bay's class offensively but if they can improve just a bit more they will be in every game going forward.

I watched the game and I think I agree with everything u said...

[Rastak]

Kolb come in for an injured McNabb and throws a pick to start off his NFL career.....youch.....

edit: Oops, I guess he played some last year....still a bad thing.

[mission]

Kolb come in for an injured McNabb and trows a pick to start off his NFL career.....youch.....

awesome pick!

[Rastak]

How bad is Detroit? Aye yi yi.


Fritz can probably elaborate.....


edit: Kitna with 60 yards passing....that makes Tarvaris look like a serviceable QB!

[Rastak]

Eagles and Steelers is a helluva battle. I like Pitt to pull it out in the end.

[RashanGary]

Eagles and Steelers is a helluva battle. I like Pitt to pull it out in the end.

Philly has been outstanding on defense. Pittsburgh has no answer for their blitz packages.


It could go either way. I'm thinking Philly has the edge becasue they seem to have the time of possession in their favor and they're winning right now.


Another good game though. Some pretty damn good defense.

Yup.

I may have to backtrack. Rothlsomething is getting his ass kicked.

[Pacopete4]

So is McFlurry.. what a great game if u like hard nosed football!


it kinda impresses me though that the Dallas line didn't let anyone touch Romo and now Philly looks like they cant be blocked

[RashanGary]

So is McFlurry.. what a great game if u like hard nosed football!

I know :lol:

I'm a little scared right now. I watched both games and what I learned is that Dallas has an amazing offensive line. Truely amazing.

[boiga]

So is McFlurry.. what a great game if u like hard nosed football!


it kinda impresses me though that the Dallas line didn't let anyone touch Romo and now Philly looks like they cant be blocked There has to be something wrong with Pitt's O-line. Their center hasn't sustained a block all day. If your center is being regularly beat 1 on 1, you have some major issues.

[Pacopete4]

isn't center one of our problems on the Oline with Wells hurt?

[RashanGary]

isn't center one of our problems on the Oline with Wells hurt?

I don't think so. I think the center got better and the RG got worse with Wells down.

[Pacopete4]

isn't center one of our problems on the Oline with Wells hurt?

I don't think so. I think the center got better and the RG got worse with Wells down.


that makes sense cuz he moved from RG to C... my bad

[Pacopete4]

bad call in the eagles game... we'll see if it gets fixed

[Rastak]

bad call in the eagles game... we'll see if it gets fixed


Yea, it looked that way. If the ball had not been deflected it sure looked close to intentional grounding.

I don't like that call.


edit: He was definately down. A safety is the right call.

[Pacopete4]

uffffftaaaaa... knee was down anyways.. but boy, thats another call they have to fix to be reviewable

[RashanGary]

Well, anything can happen here. Ben has to get those hits outi of his head and make the throws. They have a chance.

[Pacopete4]

i really want philly to lose... time for some hines ward action

[RashanGary]

Mike Tomlin looked pissed off at that drop. If looks could kill.

[Harlan Huckleby]

...

[RashanGary]

Wow, nice job by Ben there. That's a big play.

[RashanGary]

...

spit the dick out, then talk.

[RashanGary]

DeShawn Jackson is a delicate flower but a pretty dynamic player.

[Pacopete4]

Saints down 2, driving with about 3 mins left...

[Rastak]

Stick a fork in the Lions....

[Pacopete4]

Stick a fork in the Lions....

2 game lead on the division if we win?... I can live with that

[Pacopete4]

Gramatica cant hit the 43 yarder and it looks like the saints will lose... yes

[RashanGary]

I thought Asante Samuel was a product of the system and maybe overrated.


I may have been wrong. His cover skills remind me a lot of Woodson's.

[Guiness]

Griese threw 67 passes!!!!

Wow. Break out the A535 for that boy tonight :cry:

[Bretsky]

I thought Asante Samuel was a product of the system and maybe overrated.

Samuel is really good

The Patriots miss him
