Kampman is inactive for the Jags this week.

[HarveyWallbangers]

Go Falcons, Bucs, and Chargers!

[pbmax]

TV Game map. (http://the506.com/nflmaps/2011/wk1.html)

Looks like Atlanta @ Chicago on FOX, Pittsburgh @ Baltimore and Minnesota @ San Diego for me.

And no Joe Buck. Yahoo!

[Brando19]

My local stations have the Falcons/Bears game and the Ravens/Steelers game on...but no Eagles/Rams game. Does anyone have a link to the Eagles game? I want to see this so called "dream team".

[MadtownPacker]

Looks like Arian Foster is gonna fuck up someones FF day.

[Brando19]

I believe Arian Foster was a fluke. He'll never have another season like last season. They lost Vonta Leach...now we'll see how Foster is when he gets back on the field.

[Upnorth]

Go Falcons, Bucs, and Chargers!

Thanks, PB! I'll let you know if it works.

[Fritz]

I did a little reading on a Detroit Lions fan site, and here's the bottom line from the Detroit fans:

1. The predictions are from 8 - 8 to 12 - 4.

2. BJ Raji is way overrated.

3. The Lions' front seven is so good they'll neutralize Rodgers and make their own defensive backfield look good.

4. The Packers didn't look good against the Saints, excpet for the first half offense, and about that...see #3 above

[Brando19]

Damn...that national anthem at the Bears stadium just gave me cold chills.

[Brando19]

Thanks, PB! I'll let you know if it works.

It works! Thanks again, PB!!!!!!

[Partial]

Bears/Falcons and Steelers/Ravens here. I've got some left over pizza casserole and garlic bread. Should be a great opening day!

[red]

i've got the rams going up against the great black hope at QB

[Brando19]

Rams stopped the Eagles on their opening possession...let's go RAMS

[red]

Rams stopped the Eagles on their opening possession...let's go RAMS

dream team my ass

[red]

wow

eagles look like shit on their first and punt

steven jackson then takes the first snap to the house, 50 yard td

[Brando19]

Steven Jackson with a LONG TD run!!! Hell yeah...my fantasy football steal in the fourth round.

[red]

Steven Jackson with a LONG TD run!!! Hell yeah...my fantasy football steal in the fourth round.

gonna be a great pick up if he can stay healthy

[Brando19]

gonna be a great pick up if he can stay healthy

I agree...I have Jackson and Forte as my RB's...I got them in the 3rd and 4th round.

[red]

horrible throw by vick , great catch by jackson. should have been a pick. vick looks really ugly, lots of pressure coming

[TennesseePackerBacker]

The Eagles won't be winning anything without an offensive line and linebacking unit.

[Brando19]

Eagles already have two delay of game penalties.

[Guiness]

Dalton got the start in the yawner of the week, Cincinnati at Cleveland.

He goes 1/3 and gets sacked to start the game, but the Bengals score on their first possession after the Cleveland punter booms one from their own 21 to (their own!) 41 lol.

[red]

another vick pass that should have been picked off by about 4 guys

[Brando19]

another vick pass that should have been picked off by about 4 guys

Eagles are a lucky team.

[red]

yikes, steven jackson might already have a problem

[red]

fucking eagles

[Brando19]

damn it steven jackson...at least forte is having a big day

[pbmax]

wow

eagles look like shit on their first and punt

steven jackson then takes the first snap to the house, 50 yard td

Dream Team's need time to gel.

[pbmax]

Had no idea people used to drive their old Fiat 500s to the drive in. :)

[SkinBasket]

Unfortunately CHI's offense is looking A LOT more dynamic with their offseason overhaul.

looks like cutler might have a chip on his shoulder

[pbmax]

Watching Balmer and Pitt. Might have to switch. Flacco and Boldin look good. Ravens new O line (which is now 2/5 the Vikes old O line) looks OK versus Pitt.

[SkinBasket]

Also, the announces claimed IND was motivated by the number of people who were disrespecting them by claiming they would only win one or two games this season without Manning. From the looks of Collins and the defense, that number may have been inflated. The Colts will be lucky to come close to winning one game this season.

[pbmax]

Dumb catch by Julio Jones. He will learn.

Dallas Clark's fantasy numbers back you up on this so far.

[pbmax]

Roddy White whiffs and concussion sufferer Daryl Johnston claims its phenomenal coaching by the Bears.

[pbmax]

Forgot Carimi is starting for Bears.

[pbmax]

Bears still struggling to run.

[SkinBasket]

Colt McCoy looking like Bert.

[KYPack]

Think Red doesn't like the Eagles?

I kindas thought Indy might react to losing manning, but he is too much of their team, they are doomed.

[SkinBasket]

Dallas Clark's fantasy numbers back you up on this so far.

It's awful. Can't blame Manning's absence for the across the board failings but Collins is dropping snaps, dislocating fingers, and generally not playing football very well. I don't know how long they can hold out on that other kid.

[red]

vick just got killed by a blindside blitz

he can not figure out how to read blitzes at all

[red]

hate em

hate the team, hate the players, hate the fans, hate the town

[SkinBasket]

LOL. IND just gave up a 80 yds punt ret for TD too. This is going to be ugly.

[gbgary]

colts getting killed, falcon o is missing, browns waking up now, lions fighting back, ravens up but for how long, jags...meh, rams hanging, bills...wow.

[pbmax]

Colt McCoy looking like Bert.

I went everywhere with this. First, Bert Jones, then Bert from Sesame Street, then I saw the score and thought Favre.

There will be a number of AFC South teams who will happily revenge themselves on the Colts this year while he is out. I doubt there will be much call for burning the clock.

Falcons might be slightly overrated so far, 28 minutes in. And the Bears are no fluke.

[pbmax]

It's awful. Can't blame Manning's absence for the across the board failings but Collins is dropping snaps, dislocating fingers, and generally not playing football very well. I don't know how long they can hold out on that other kid.

Painter looked OK vs. the Pack. Hope that isn't the theme this year.

[SkinBasket]

I went everywhere with this. First, Bert Jones, then Bert from Sesame Street, then I saw the score and thought Favre.

It was a play before that, a 40 yard completion down field after he outran a DE, but was hit as he threw.

[Guiness]

What is up with the Bills??? 20 points in the first half, and defense pitching a shut-out?
Just checked...they've started 3 of their 6 drives in KC territory, and converted two of them. KC fumbled away the opening kick-off.

[denverYooper]

vick just got killed by a blindside blitz

he can not figure out how to read blitzes at all

Yeah, well he was never really one of those cerebral field generals.

But I thought no one could design a defense to stop Vick!?

He said so:
http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2011/09/02/vick-says-you-cant-design-a-defense-to-stop-me/

[pbmax]

Wow. Mndenhall fumble, short drive for TD on good pass by Flacco and good catch.

Then a 2pt conv out of normal PAT formation with kicker. Holder just kept it.

[pbmax]

It was a play before that, a 40 yard completion down field after he outran a DE, but was hit as he threw.

Gotcha. He has a rep as a tough guy.

[Guiness]

Vick is under 50% - 11/26. The Rams were gashing them on the ground

S. Jackson 2 rushes for 56 yards
Cadillac 10 rushes for 50 yards
B. Miller 1 rush for 12 yards

Jackson is out now, but the Rams gashed them on the ground in that first half.

[pbmax]

Yeah, well he was never really one of those cerebral field generals.

But I thought no one could design a defense to stop Vick!?

He said so:
http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2011/09/02/vick-says-you-cant-design-a-defense-to-stop-me/

Weird game. He is 11 for 26 but has 158 yards. Its like 1965 in that game.

[MadScientist]

Wow. Mndenhall fumble, short drive for TD on good pass by Flacco and good catch.

Then a 2pt conv out of normal PAT formation with kicker. Holder just kept it.

Why on earth does Balt go for 2 when a PAT puts them up 28-7. Just save the play until you need it.

[Upnorth]

Stupid atlanta stalls with 7 yeards left. Still got 3.

[Guiness]

Houson up 34-0. I wonder if they'll let up or pound Indy into the ground?

[pbmax]

Why on earth does Balt go for 2 when a PAT puts them up 28-7. Just save the play until you need it.

Rubbing it in. They are 2 for the last 6 versus Steelers.

But they are going to regret not kicking the FG after the Ray Lewis INT. Got nothing.

[MadtownPacker]

Vick isnt going to last the season running around the way he is. Problem is if he doesnt they would be losing right now. Having a rookie C must not help either.

Colts wont be playing the SB at home. Texans fans must be feeling like the Wicked Witch of the (mid)West just got killed and they are looking at the yellow brick road to the division crown.

bears always beat good teams like ATL but then find a way to screw it all up at the end of the year. No surprise they are winning.

[MadScientist]

Houson up 34-0. I wonder if they'll let up or pound Indy into the ground?

They already have pounded the Dolts into the ground.

[Upnorth]

8 minutes into 2nd half and houston just punted for first time.

[pbmax]

Steelers look like they have for last few years. Can't run well, so at some point they go bombs away with BR.

[MadScientist]

Rams kicker with the choke.

Big Ben with the choke goal line pick.

[pbmax]

Rothliesberger just hurt Reed after an INT on a diving tackle.

[Upnorth]

Before the season everyone was saying how tough the NFC south looked. I wonder if everyone will now acknowledge the North as one of, if not the toughest divisions this year.

Both Chicago and Detroit are handling Atlanta and Tampa quite well so far. I really wish it was the other way around though.

[Bretsky]

Bears r good

[pbmax]

Bears r good

BEAR LOVER!

[Brando19]

Bears r good

GAG! BEAR LOVER!

[Upnorth]

Chris Johnson has 14 all purpose yards so far, earning the contract.

[pbmax]

Ravens do not look like a team whose O line has not played together. Casey Hampton still a beast though.

[pbmax]

Dear NFL,

Gentleman, the NFC North is going to kick your ass this year.

[Fosco33]

Who would've thought 3 playoff team would be getting blown out (Falcons, Steelers and Chiefs).

[pbmax]

Who would've thought 3 playoff team would be getting blown out (Falcons, Steelers and Chiefs).

One website, CHFF or Pro Foootball Focus or something like that, made the case last year that the Falcons, specifically Ryan, were not all they were cracked up to be.

[Upnorth]

Well, i'm disgusted by the lack of competition by the NFC south today. Switching over to watch the Saskatchewan Roughriders kick some Winnipeg butt.
Go Riders Go

[SkinBasket]

I haven't watched any of the PHI game. Is Bradford playing that poorly?

[pbmax]

I haven't watched any of the PHI game. Is Bradford playing that poorly?


St. Louis Rams Comp Att Yds Pct Y/A Sack YdsL TD Int Rating
Sam Bradford(notes) 11 21 115 52.4 5.5 3 19 0 0 68.6

Looks like it. They have 143 yards rushing, only 1 TO and 3 sacks. Philly pass rush looks legit this week. He has played Captain Checkdown before too.

[Fosco33]

Ed Reed with 2nd INT. 5th turnover by Steelers today. ouch.

[mraynrand]

Who would've thought 3 playoff team would be getting blown out (Falcons, Steelers and Chiefs).


There's some serious playoff loss hangover going on. I didn't think the Steelers or Falcons did much to address their vulnerabilities on defense, so you can see them getting their asses kicked. Chiefs - you all saw that last preseason game - there's something wrong there, where a coach has his starters go so long in a preseason game. Maybe the Chiefs needed the conditioning, or maybe you have a coach making a very bad move. I think the latter.

[Fritz]

Corey Bradford? Is he still in the league?

Welcome to the NFC North, everybody. Damn, the Lions look tough. Or the Bucs look sucky. I'm not sure which or if it's both.

The Pack needs to get that defense straightened out and the special teams coverage units. You can talk all you want about how good the Saints' offense is, but the Leos look deadly right now and if Stafford stays heatlhy, there will be no margin for error against that team. Slocum needs to get it all cleaned up in his unit, and Capers needs to figure out how to shore up that D.

[Lurker64]

One website, CHFF or Pro Foootball Focus or something like that, made the case last year that the Falcons, specifically Ryan, were not all they were cracked up to be.

Most of the advanced football metrics were down on last year's Falcons team. They more or less an average team that caught a bunch of lucky breaks, you can't necessarily replicate that from year to year.

Remember, the NFC South feasted on a bunch of easy games last year. Each of the three teams in that division last year had a combined 10 games against the NFC West, Browns, Bengals, and Panthers. It's not hard to win double-digits with that schedule.

True that. But - it's the Bills - in KC. Crazy blow outs today. Bears are putting some huge hits on Falcons.

[Fosco33]

nice to see Lance Kendricks with the grab. Go bucky

[pbmax]

I like that Walmart ad. "Is that a chicken?"

and AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA Auto Repair Fed Ex ad.

[Fosco33]

Stafford gimping off (cramp?). Freeman left the field earlier after a nasty hit.

And that same dynamic will cause people to overrate the Bears. After a good season last year (plus a whole lot of luck) and now they will beat the darlings of the last two years.

[denverYooper]

Falcons might be slightly overrated so far, 28 minutes in. And the Bears are no fluke.

Every team with a top 15 quarterback should be chucking it on them. Cutler's throwing into some pretty big holes out there.

Also, the birds turned it over a couple of times. They made a lot of hay last year "taking care of the football", whether that was luck or not I don't know but they look sloppy with the ball today.

[Tony Oday]

Lumpkin sighting

[pbmax]

Ray Lewis forced that fumble, its getting overturned.

People must have watched the film from last year's playoffs, eh?

[pbmax]

Only close game is Bengals-Browns.

[MadScientist]

Pittsburgh with as many turnovers as points scored.

They look to keep the trend of SB losers failing the next year.

[pbmax]

Tennessee making a game of it.

[red]

I haven't watched any of the PHI game. Is Bradford playing that poorly?

bradford looked pretty crappy, but his receivers have dropped a least 6 passes

right now bradford has injured his throwing arm and has been replaced by AJ feeley

[pbmax]

Cincy takes the lead. Gradkowski is in, Dalton is out.

[pbmax]

Shoulder?

[MadScientist]

Shoulder?

Hand. His hand hit a defensive player's hand on a follow through.

[pbmax]

Dalton injured his wrist

[red]

how the hell is the monday night game the raiders vs. the broncos?

that has to be the worst monday match up ever

who wants to watch that shit?

[red]

there's hope for cutler yet, he just threw a pick 6

maybe he'll be "injured" now for the rest of the season

[pbmax]

This week's fantasy tip. Don't play the RB facing the Lions at home.

[pbmax]

Back end of doubleheader.

[red]

This week's fantasy tip. Don't play the RB facing the Lions at home.

they looked that good?

[Fosco33]

Glad we have two strikes in survival pool here... Browns disappointed me today. really didn't think Cincy would beat them.

[red]

who's that chick doing the national anthem at the chargers/queens game?

i'd give her face a whitewash

[red]

looks like its getting interesting in tampa

[pbmax]

Same old Chargers.

[denverYooper]

Agree w/PB & Fritz that the NFC North looks poised to make some noise this year.

Aaaaaand the Chargers special teams disappoint once again...

[red]

WOW

how the hell do you kick to harvin?

percy just took the opening kickoff 103

[Fosco33]

who's that chick doing the national anthem at the chargers/queens game?

Colbie Caillat

[pbmax]

Not watching game, Fritz is, but two Buc RBs have 11 carries for 28 yards.

[denverYooper]

WOW

how the hell do you kick to harvin?

percy just took the opening kickoff 103

Looks like a poor man's Randall Cobb.

[Fosco33]

3-4 missed tackles on Harvin's kickoff return...

[pbmax]

McNabb INT on WR screen on his first throw.

[red]

Nate keading injured on the opening kickoff and just got carted off

this is the first time in about 4 years i didn't draft him

Mcnabbs first pass as a queen= INT, nice

[denverYooper]

Well well well. This SD-Minny game is already looking spectacular.

[red]

Looks like a poor man's Randall Cobb.

cobb's was more impressive, harvin didn't even leave his feet much less do a matrix type move

[Fosco33]

McNabb INT on WR screen on his first throw.

Nice - Vikings left off where they ended - a QB that throws INTs.

[red]

nice D minnie

way to impress your future home market

[denverYooper]

well, sexy rexy and eli look just as good as ever so far

[Guiness]

Glad we have two strikes in survival pool here... Browns disappointed me today. really didn't think Cincy would beat them.

lol - you must be a relative of Iron Balls McGuinty betting on the Browns!

[red]

HA

i just remembered i have harvin starting on my rats fantasy team

HELL YEAH

[Guiness]

Kolb has not had an incompletion as a Cardinal yet!
2 for 2 and 36 yards:lol:

[Lurker64]

HA

i just remembered i have harvin starting on my rats fantasy team

HELL YEAH

Does Harvin get the points, or do they go to "Vikings DST"? I'm never sure about this on special teams TDs.

[easy cheesy]

well, sexy rexy and eli look just as good as ever so far

Eli Mae just gained a little bit of redemption I'd say... NOW... if someone would just muzzle Joe Buck that would be golden.

[denverYooper]

Forgot, no Williams Wall anymore.

[pbmax]

Eli Mae just gained a little bit of redemption I'd say... NOW... if someone would just muzzle Joe Buck that would be golden.

I am Buck free today. Glorious. But the Packers won't be so lucky the rest of the season.

[Guiness]

Eli Mae just gained a little bit of redemption I'd say... NOW... if someone would just muzzle Joe Buck that would be golden.

Just read that with Peyton out today, Eli takes over the crown as the reigning Iron Man. I didn't know that.

edit: longest streak for a QB, at 104 games. Don't know who has the overall one.

[denverYooper]

Kolb has not had an incompletion as a Cardinal yet!
2 for 2 and 36 yards:lol:

And T.Jack is 4/4 and 30...

[red]

Does Harvin get the points, or do they go to "Vikings DST"? I'm never sure about this on special teams TDs.

yup he does, kick and punt return TD's count. return yards don't though

[pbmax]

Harvin does. Some leagues do ST scoring separately, but its rare.

Marshawn Lynch sure is tearing it up.

[pbmax]

MVP Candidate Greenway was late on the Chargers TD throw. Or someone else blew the coverage.

[pbmax]

Why are the Vikings unis two toned purple? Is that a customized job?

[Joemailman]

Why are the Vikings unis two toned purple? Is that a customized job?

Minnesota purple and L.A. purple.

[pbmax]

Minnesota purple and L.A. purple.

:D

Could be modeled on Laker's purple, like the last franchise to move there.

[easy cheesy]

I've got football ADD with two TV's goiing, flipping from game to game on NFL ticket and watching NFL.com on the computer... ***whew***... btw, if there are any other long time Direct TV customers out there who are pissed off that new customers are getting NFL ticket for free, do what I did. Call and tell them so... I got $30.00 per month, for the next 6 months, off the cost of "the ticket", I got my Direct TV package upgraded with 56 additional channels (decent channels- not basket weaving channels) at not only no charge, but my bill reduced by $15.00 per month for the next year, I can get "the ticket" on my phone for no additional cost ($50.00 value) and two for one movie channels. They were really cool!

Sidebar.... Carolina loses and the NFC South can chalk up a collective "dump" for the day....

[Cheesehead Craig]

San Diego can't tackle, it's brutal watching their special teams and defense.

[Joemailman]

Vikes going to make it 4-0 for the NFCN?

[pbmax]

Seattle is winning the battle for Andrew Luck by being scoreless versus San Fran 6-0.

[red]

:D

Could be modeled on Laker's purple, like the last franchise to move there.

does anyone else find it ironic that two minnesota teams, both with purple and yellow colors, or gonna be making their home in LA in a year or two?

[pbmax]

Chargers turn down FG from the 25 (42 yd kick) because of Kaeding's injury.

[red]

no matter how many times i see rivers throw i just can't get use to the way it looks. its not really side armed, but i don't think the ball ever gets above his chin. its just odd looking

[red]

Seattle is winning the battle for Andrew Luck by being scoreless versus San Fran 6-0.

don't discount indy at this point

besides, seattle has T-jack ("who is an amazing team leader")

and san fran has alex smith

those two teams aren't going to take luck

[easy cheesy]

The NFC "Worst" is truly "representin'" today.... Don't hate on the 7-9 Division Champs... (Was listening to Pete Carroll the other day bloviating about how "amazing" the Seahawks were going to be this year. Yes, I could have changed the channel but I was mesmerized by the verbal train wreck spewing forth from my radio. ***insert eye roll here***... TJ is amazing... Carroll is amazing... Cable is amazing... The Dynasty in the making?.... AMAZING....

..... oh... and my goodness if Browner just didn't give the Niners a first and goal opportunity with his penalty...and it's... wait for it.... Touchdown NINERS!!!! AMAZING!!!!!

[denverYooper]

Chargers finally got a TD after 2 failed trips to the red zone.

[denverYooper]

Apparently, the Cards have no one who can cover Steve Smith.

[Lurker64]

Apparently, the Cards have no one who can cover Steve Smith.

Well, they traded away Rodgers-Cromartie...

[TennesseePackerBacker]

The Chargers pass-rush is nonexistent.

[easy cheesy]

Dayum... the Giants/Skins game is a really good show.... drama, emotion, miscues... the whole "shebang"... just when you think you can formulate a vision of how things are going to go... BOOM... proverbial wrench thrown into the works... good stuff... Grossman sacked, Eli Mae sacked almost back to the goal line... turnovers followed by stellar passes... If I scratch my head any more I'm gonna get a bald spot....

Like I said... HOLY SHIT! Giants rack Grossman's ass and get the ball back and are now dancing on the precipice of the Red Zone... Good Golly Miss Molly! I need popcorn and Xanax....

Edit.... AND THE GIANTS DIDN'T GET THE FUCKING FIELD GOAL??? Wow.... good stuff....

[MJZiggy]

It's why I'm sweeping the floor instead of vacuuming.

[Upnorth]

So the Riders dominated the Bombers 45-16 with 1 minute left. Go Riders!

Looks like AP is earning his contract.
Cam Newton has doubled his preseason td total, the cards secondary is making him look legit.
Grossman looking good against the Giants, so what has happened to the giants d?

I have much preferred late afternoon to early football today.

[easy cheesy]

Well, well, well.... barring miracles... it indeed looks as if the entirety of the NFC South will be soiling the opening day diaper....

[easy cheesy]

Vikes going to make it 4-0 for the NFCN?


No

[Cheesehead Craig]

That's the Vikings passing attack? Really?

7/15 39 yds 1 TD and 1 INT. And this is a upgrade over TJack how?

39 yards passing? That's just fucking brutal.

[red]

and the redskins win the battle of 2 of the 3 most douchie looking players in the nfl. well i guess its wrong to say eli looks like a douche since he's a retard and all

[TennesseePackerBacker]

And the Cam Newton feel good story falls short by a yard.

[red]

so, let me get this straight

t-jack+ a bunch of cast offs and draft busts doesn't not make a good team?

[Upnorth]

That's the Vikings passing attack? Really?

I love there GM, and I miss Millen for the Lions.

whats the record for most kick returns for touchdowns in one week?

i've watched 3 so far this week, there might have been more

[easy cheesy]

Well, well, well.... barring miracles... it indeed looks as if the entirety of the NFC South will be soiling the opening day diaper....

Fait accompli... diaper duly soiled... Cam Newton shall be forced to wait for his day in the sun.... to morph into the football God that he is destined to be... in the words of Scarlett O'Hara... tomorrow IS another day.... fret not Mr. Newton...

NOW.... let's see the Jets hand the Cowboys their ass....

[MJZiggy]

whats the record for most kick returns for touchdowns in one week?

i've watched 3 so far this week, there might have been more

Dunno. I wonder if teams are just not thinking teams are going to run it out because of the rule change.

[easy cheesy]

Speaking of handing someone their ass... THANK YOU SAN FRANCISCO! Seahawks... AMAZING! Suck it Pete!

Dunno. I wonder if teams are just not thinking teams are going to run it out because of the rule change.

thay were saying on one of the pregame shows that it might have something to do with the kicking team not being able to get a running start

whatever the reason is, its the exact opposite of what i was expecting

ted ginn just had a punt return for a TD, just a few minutes after returning a kickoff for a TD. unreal

Fait accompli... diaper duly soiled... Cam Newton shall be forced to wait for his day in the sun.... to morph into the football God that he is destined to be... in the words of Scarlett O'Hara... tomorrow IS another day.... fret not Mr. Newton...

NOW.... let's see the Jets hand the Cowboys their ass....

I actually expect the Cowgirls to keep it closer than most people expect. If it weren't for it being 9/11 and the game in NY I'd pick them to upset the J-E-T-S, Jets, Jets, Jets.

Yup. That's the game I got switched to when the Redskins Giants ended.

[pbmax]

That's the Vikings passing attack? Really?

7/15 39 yds 1 TD and 1 INT. And this is a upgrade over TJack how?

39 yards passing? That's just fucking brutal.

Welcome to Bill Musgrave, OC.

Well TPB, no matter your reasoning... GO JETS!!!... I have SUCH disdain for the "Girls"... BLECH!!!... (Although I live in the PACNW, I'm indigenous to Nashville btw... nice to see a fellow Tennessean around) :)

My roommate is Cowgurls fan, and I absolutely despise them. The whole "America's Team" thing and the early 90's beatdowns is probably the reason for this. If ever there was a team outside the division I would cheer for to go 0-16 it is them.

I actually hail from Johnson City, but Nashville is a damn fun town.

[Brandon494]

Cam Newton became the first rookie to throw for more than 400 yards in his NFL opener.

America's Team?... my ass! I've always hated them, Jerry Jones, Jimmy Johnson, Irvin, Romo, Aikman, Staubach... any and everyone with that "star" on their helmets.... who in the hell decided these assholes were "America's Team" anyway? Some "no name, gotta go google their ass" talking head no doubt... nonsensical garbage... America's Team indeed.... pfffft...

just my $0.02... GO VOLS!!! :)

Too bad it doesn't mean shit in terms of W/L. Good for Mr. Newton though... he'll always have 400 to comfort him....

[Brandon494]

Only because they couldn't cover a punt.

[easy cheesy]

Maybe so... but.. "L" all the same... one game with great personal stats does not a Legend make...

Good Lawd Have Mercy!!! I'm getting Vapors! America's Team has scored..... I need to loosen my corset and grab some ice cold sweet tea....

Wow... my cousin, Mikey, used to be NYPD, worked for Rikers, now works private sector security.... he lost over 35+ friends who were first responders in New York.... sent me over 100 photos taken by first responders that folks like you and I would never see... horrible shit.... also sent me a copy of the Post with the names highlighted of all the friends he lost.... I have those photos stashed and hermetically protected from the elements because I hope to pass them on. From time to time I roll them out just to keep my perspective straight... I'll never forget that day...ever... it doesn't take a 10 year anniversary to make me take notice and get "convenient" patriotism...

Yeah... the commercial sucks and the media is milking a situation on a milestone anniversary marking tragedy that some people live with every day... it never dissipates...I love New York....

[pbmax]

Maybe so... but.. "L" all the same... one game with great personal stats does not a Legend make...

But its kind of a good start for a rookie QB, no?

So, no to Philly, no to New York, how about Boston or is it the entire East Coast?

[easy cheesy]

Meh.. I'll give... :)

[pbmax]

The media, politicians, the NFL, basically anyone who can get their name in the paper is trying to associate themselves with this anniversary.

I mean, I definitely needed to know how Rex Ryan felt about playing on the anniversary "It's real, real big... a big deal..."

[Guiness]

But its kind of a good start for a rookie QB, no?

We'll see.

Peterson was on Steve Smith, and couldn't cover him at all. Smith got 178 yards on 8 catches and 2TD's. Haven't seen any film, but was Smith just running free?

Without those yards, Newton's throws for 244 yards, 0TD and 1INT. Much more rookie like.

I think he is actually old and I'm sure he won't get any younger....

i just hate new york, always have. they're so damn full of themselves. i swear the other 99.999% of the city would gladly sacrifice 2,500 people every year to keep the kind of publicity they've gotten from 9/11. they've managed to take a horrible thing and turn it into the best thing that's ever happened to the city

don't even get me going on those people

I lived close to both Philly and New York some time ago. We are going to have to disagree on both.

Nice catch by Tomlinson there. He's been a very effective player for the Jets.

Why did SD let him get away? He didn't sign for much (2yrs, $5million?). Did SD think he was done? Did he feel he was treated poorly and didn't want to play for them?

[Lurker64]

I keep watching this Jets/Cowboys game, and I have no idea who I want to win. Why can't the NFL have a "double-loss" option?

That was two terrible plays and a fumble for no reason by Romo.

Jets will never win with Sanchez at QB, the kid just doesn't have it.

Yes, but the ST and Defense does. This game should be over, but Dallas refuses to take it.
