Game Thread for the Early Games

[BallHawk]

Thought I'd make a thread to discuss the early games, since we're all dieing of anticipation, until 4:15. On my TV schedule I've got Carolina/Atlanta and Baltimore/Tampa Bay.

Carolina should be a good game.

[FavreChild]

Thanks for starting this thread, BH.

I have Eagles/Texans and Bills/Pats on my TV slate. Um....yuck.

[Packnut]

Thank God for fantasy football. Got a reason to watch the early games while waiting for the BIG SHOW!

I've got em all baby! NFL Sunday ticket makes life worth living..........

[Packnut]

Most of my attention will be on the Saints cause I got Reggie B on several fanasy teams.

[BallHawk]

I have Eagles/Texans and Bills/Pats on my TV slate. Um....yuck.

Really? They're not showing the re-run of the Hawkeye game on every channel? :shock:

[Rastak]

I've got the Lions/Hawks game, which good, it's the one I wanted to see.

[BallHawk]

I've got the Lions/Hawks game, which good, it's the one I wanted to see.

Could be a potential upset there, but I doubt it.

Seahawks 28
Lions 14

I would agree with your prediction......

[falco]

I've got Lions/Hawks and Rams/Broncos.

Paying closing attention to J-Walk's performance...

[FavreChild]

Don't rub it in about Sunday Ticket. Can't receive a signal here. :sad:

Will be heading to the local adult establishment soon to partake in all games....as well as libations. :cool:

[Rastak]

I've got Lions/Hawks and Rams/Broncos.

Paying closing attention to J-Walk's performance...

Oh yea, keep us posted......

[Fosco33]

Braylong Edwards just caught a huge TD pass but got called back on a holding - ouch.

What game should I watch... I'm thinking Bush or the Lions.... I've got 'em all to chose from :mrgreen:

[Fosco33]

Walker just made his first catch.... and got a decent lick.

[GBRulz]

wow, Lions are actually looking good !

[Rastak]

Lions just blocked a FG attempt.....

[GBRulz]

yeah I think i'm gonna watch Denver/St Lou myself. Oh jeez, walker got his first catch and they are praising him like some sort of God already :crazy:

[FavreChild]

Texans are marching down the field vs. the Eagles. Flanagan must be stabilizing the O-line. :cool:

[Fosco33]

Bush's first punt return was almost fumbled but returned for 11 yards...

[GBRulz]

LOL the Southwest commercials are the best

[Rastak]

Wow, the Lions made Mike Williams inactive.....

[FavreChild]

TD - Texans (Moulds). They made it look damn easy, too.

First time in the last 17 games that Houston has scored on its opening drive.

[GBRulz]

damn, Timmerman is one of our worst FA losses IMO

[Fosco33]

McNair and Lewis shredded TB defense and scored just now.

[Rastak]

McNair and Lewis shredded TB defense and scored just now.


Lions drive just stalled.....FG 3-0 Lions...

[Fosco33]

Brady has his first TD pass of the season - screw Branch.

[BallHawk]

LOL the Southwest commercials are the best

Yeah, I love those.

[GBRulz]

LOL on the Denver/ ST L game, St L has the ball and the announcers say "Denver lined up with 4 WR's" :crazy:

[falco]

Calhoun didn't look like much on his first play.

[BallHawk]

Nice changes, Mad.

[GBRulz]

Ok, another funny commercial with Manning. He's doing Sprint phones now, sporting a fake porn stache !!

[Rastak]

Willie Ponder looks good for the Hawks.....

[BallHawk]

Falcons are looking good.

[Fosco33]

Damn Lions recovered a fumble...

[Fosco33]

Those DEN/STL announcers are terrible - Walker plays for Denver morons... :crazy:

[Rastak]

Those DEN/STL announcers are terrible - Walker plays for Denver morons... :crazy:

Yea, that was good.....Seahawks running is brutal so far......

[Fosco33]

Hall fumbled; Cincy recovers and gives Palmer another shot after a weak effort...

[Fosco33]

Hall fumbled; Cincy recovers and gives Palmer another shot after a weak effort...

KC is making the Pack look even worse as Cincy is stugglin

[GBRulz]

fumble....Rams get it on the 5 of Denver

[red]

fumble....Rams get it on the 5 of Denver

come on bulger, throw it in

[falco]

fumble....Rams get it on the 5 of Denver

come on bulger, throw it in

i'm saying the same thing...wonder why :shock:

[Rastak]

Wow, Lions blocked a second FG.....

[rdanomly]

Lions have blocked 2 FGs so far

[outflow]

The Lions Defense is looking Naaaassty.

[GBRulz]

another TO by the Broncos....hehe

[Lurker64]

I'm not sure if this is Detroit coming out fired up for week one at home, or Seattle coming out a little flat, but the Lions look kind of scary thus far. Seattle's a good team, but Detroit is definitely the aggressor here.

[GBRulz]

Wouldn't that be the upset of the day if the Lions pull it off !!!

So far, my confidence pool picks are tanking big time!!

[falco]

Has anybody looked at JSO recently??? The bears trolls have just destroyed it...even the threads not started by the trolls are filled with their posts.

[Fosco33]

Bush was a little shaken up after a nice run... but he's back in.

[Rastak]

Has anybody looked at JSO recently??? The bears trolls have just destroyed it...even the threads not started by the trolls are filled with their posts.

They did that last year, pretty much destroyed the forum on game day....

[GBRulz]

Another TO by Denver.....

[Rastak]

That should have been defensive holding on the Lions,,,,anyway, 3-3.

[GBRulz]

I'm not watching the Lions/Seahawks, but it doesn't seem like Alexander is being much a factor?

[Rastak]

I'm not watching the Lions/Seahawks, but it doesn't seem like Alexander is being much a factor?

They have no running game...must be that gaurd they lost!

:wink:

[J-Rok]

Great catch by Forrey over the middle. That was a huge hit, and he held on..

[packrulz]

Seattle is sluggish. Lions are sort of stoked and Kitna is way better than Harrington. Alexander dropped a pass.

[FavreChild]

Holy crap - the Patriots crowd is BOOING! Pats down at home by 10; Brady got sacked on third down to mark yet another three and out.

What spoiled, infantile fans, though.

[FavreChild]

None of y'all seem to care about the Texans, but they are looking pretty damn good. Passing game is rocking with Moulds and Andre Johnson. I think Carr has only been sacked once. Sherman is receiving compliments for the O-line.

[GBRulz]

I don't have that game here. I care though :mrgreen:

[FavreChild]

Well, certainly we have a more vested interest in the success of the Texans, GBR - as that would result in more....um....exposure for David Carr. :cool:

[GBRulz]

oh yeah!!!

[FavreChild]

Oops, David Carr just sacked for the third time. Third and goal, however.

Bills D-line looks awesome. The Pats are getting nothing on the ground.

[Fosco33]

I thought Carr was sacked twice on one series :wink:

[FavreChild]

Three total sacks, as noted above. :cool:

But since I am stuck with this game, it has been more entertaining than expected.

[Fosco33]

Sorry, missed that one, these windows are pretty big now :oops:

[GBRulz]

jeez, how many commercials is Manning in this year?

[Fosco33]

jeez, how many commercials is Manning in this year?

Some are from last year.

[FavreChild]

Yes, that's what I'm saying. Nothing against Peyton personally, but enough is enough. Out with Manning, in with Carr!

[BallHawk]

Man, Jeff Wilkins with 4 field goals. Glad I've got him on my squad.

[Fosco33]

Damn Denver scored a late TD. Screw the Broncos

[Partial]

I am really rootin' for roy williams to have 10 receptions for 2 tds and 100 yards this half while still losing the game.

[PaCkFan_n_MD]

I am really rootin' for roy williams to have 10 receptions for 2 tds and 100 yards this half while still losing the game.

You and me both :mrgreen:

[FavreChild]

Me three!

[woodbuck27]

The Story so far in the Early Games:

UPSETS !

At the half:

Bills 17 - Pat's 7. (Tom Brady completed 27% of his pass's - Gillette Stadium's . . a tad quiet right now. ) :mrgreen:

Saints 9 - Browns 0. ( Reggie Bush 10 carries for 51 yards)

Falcons 13 - Panthers 3 (RB Warren Dunn 14 carries for 90 Yards)

Jets 13 - Titans 0. C. Pennington . . ( 16 / 22, 189 Yards )

RAVENS 17 - BUC's 0. ( Ouch ! tres malade pour moi. :mrgreen: )

RAMS 12 - Broncos 7

[FavreChild]

I LOVE the upsets - keep it up!

Except the Broncos - I hope they come back (which they will). Sorry, I know that is the unpopular opinion around these here parts. :wink:

[justanotherpackfan]

I've got a question for people in this thread seeing as how a lot of you participate in fantasy football. Would you be happy to see your players do well at the risk of them hurting the Packers chances of winning games and or the division? I found myself rooting for Iowa yesterday because I had picked them when really I should of been rooting against them for the Badgers sake. :?

[woodbuck27]

Bills 17 - Pat's 7.

becomes 17 Bills - 14 Pat's (6:32 remaining the 3rd Qtr).

DAM . . . Brady threw a super little hitch pass to WR Kevin Falk. . who makes an impressive diving catch in the right side of the end zone. Kevin faulk shakin' up on that catch falling on the ball.

Faulk was just inducted into the LSU Hall of Fame.

[GBRulz]

JW just dropped two passes in a row. HA and then Plummer is sacked....PUNT

No WAY !!

PACKERS ALWAYS FIRST !!! :mrgreen:

[falco]

I knew Tom Brady sucked...he was just lucky... :shock:

[BallHawk]

Lock your doors when you go to sleep tonight, Falco. Bulldog is gonna be coming for you.

[Partial]

That was the dumbest call ever. No flag until Hasselback throws a shitfit. Pussy.

[CyclonePackFan]

I knew Tom Brady sucked...he was just lucky... :shock:

Tom Brady is and always has been the epitome of an average quarterback overhyped because of an excellent supporting cast. He's basically a glorified Brad Johnson. He doesn't make many mistakes, but he's not somebody who's going to go out and lead a comeback on his own.

[woodbuck27]

Pat's Rookie RB Lawrence Mulroney looks awesome !

11 carries for 71 yards through three quarters.

The Pats will come back to win.

[CyclonePackFan]

JESUS CHRIST DID ANYBODY ELSE SEE THAT HIT ON TRENT GREEN?

[justanotherpackfan]

Chiefs qb Trent Green was carted off the field after receiving a head to head hit.

[Partial]

10 carries for 71 yards through three quarters.

And I let him sit on my bench, god dammit!

Cory Dillion is 11/51 so far Partial.

Most people in game one, would have thought that Dillion would be "the Pat's" horse. :mrgreen:

[CyclonePackFan]

JESUS CHRIST DID ANYBODY ELSE SEE THAT HIT ON TRENT GREEN?

yeah what the hell happened?

Green escaped the pocket and was running upfield for yardage. He went to slide and one of the Bengals hit him helmet-to-helmet. KO

[BallHawk]

Just saw the hit. Ouch!

[woodbuck27]

Early in the 4th.

Pat's at the Bills 43 Y line and going for 4th and one. (Time Out )

Tom Brady is a Great General out there. He runs for two and then on the next play hits Rech Caldwell to the Bills 17.

Then. .3-7-BUF 14 (9:42) (Shotgun) T.Brady pass incomplete short right to TE D.Graham. (That pass was pretty good.

4-7-BUF 14 (9:37) S.Gostkowski 32 yard field goal is GOOD, Center-L.Paxton, Holder-J.Miller.

SCORE tied @ 17 !!

Some day. . I'd love Tom Brady "in Green Bay". :mrgreen:

I really like Trent Green. I hope he'll be OK.

[woodbuck27]

Pat's take the lead on a Safety.

19-17 New England over Buffalo (8:55 - 4th)

Just saw the shot of Trent Green being carried off the field on a stretcher. He has feeling in his extremeties.

[woodbuck27]

Whooops !

Brady is picked.

1-10-BUF 44 (8:14)

[GBRulz]

i can't see

[GBRulz]

nm, everything was green for a min

[woodbuck27]

5:50 remains in the 4th.

Bengals 20 - Chiefs 3 (that one's over)

Bengals RB Rudy Johnson 23 carries for 87 yards 1 TD.

Chiefs RB Larry Johnson 17 carries for 68 yards and 0 TD.

[CyclonePackFan]

For the first time I can remember, the Lions look like a good team.

This scares me.

[Partial]

I wish I had went with Cinci's defense. They get so many turnovers and scores that they are a great fantasy defense. I decided to start Dallas over them today, so here is hoping Dallas plays a strong game.

The Lions looks really fricking good. Defensively they look solid as a rock. They obviously don't have any studs, but they look very assignment sure and disciplined. Marinelli appears to have made a big difference!!!

[GBRulz]

ok I know the new rule about excessive celebrations, but they are getting a little too damn picky. The rams got 2 penalties for this now

Smart move bringing in Steve McNair Fosco33.

They are always tough on "D".

Especially their defense. Wow!

[woodbuck27]

Eagles QB Donovan McNabb 19/29 for 280 yards and 3 TD and 1 pick.

Saints D. McAllister 19 C for 87 yards 0 TD and . . .

Superman Rookie Reggie Bush 14 Rush's for 61 yards and 8 Receptions for 58 yards for a total of 119 yards. Nice debut.

bengals d looks scary

i'm playing retail guy in FF this week, and by far the biggest point getter is his d (bengals) with 20 points. 10 points allowed, 7 sacks, 1 int, and 2 fumbles recovered

Very Solid Team.

RB Rudy Johnson gave me 15 Pt's red. :mrgreen:

[Fosco33]

Owens scores a TD as a Cowboy - now I've seen everything.
