Official Thursday Night Football Opener Thread (NYG vs. WAS)

Geez, did that seem like a 5th pre-season game or what?

There's lots of that in week 1.

It looks like a coaching change is long overdue in Washington.

It looks like all sorts of coaching changes are needed.

Can't believe they got rid of that D-coord of theirs. He was the only guy decent.

Least Moss got me a TD.

Actually I was joking about the coaching. What they really need is to be more aggressive in free agency. Bringing in a coach with proven Superbowl experience might help too, but not as much as say, a great defensive end.

I think for teams like Atlanta, there's going to be a lot of that in week 10.

wow the Redskins refused to throw the ball in the 58 minutes of the game... what a joke that was on offense...

The play calling was horrible, and the receivers had many easy drops...

Not as many easy drops as their DB's had.

Eli got away with a couple.

The giants on the other hand. They wern't that impressive. That offense is powered by 1 man... Plaxico... I am not sold on Eli Manning, he looked terrible and should have thrown 3-4 INT's if Smoot could actually catch.

I'd argue it's powered by 2 - Jacobs had a good night.

Its just the first game.. I seem to remember our 1st game last season being not to pretty either.. I also remember our game against Was and we had to get a funny fumble return to win that game as well..

You have a good memory. I remember as a kid getting pop for 25 cents out of machines that had glass bottles behind a vertical glass door. You would put your quarter in, open the door, and then pull the bottle out. There was an opener attached at the side for you convenience. I also remember the AMC Pacer.

"Looked like a fishbowl and those windows leaked. Add a leaky sunroof to it and the car rusted from the inside out!"

"It is a pregnant roller skate."

"Not only UGLY but two different-sized front doors!"

"Human terrarium."

"It had seats designed like blue jeans, including the brass buttons, which burned the crap out of you on a hot day."

"Six feet long, eight feet wide, bicycle tires all around, and 0 to 60 in four-and-a-half hours. What a prize! AMC's only conceivable excuse for this engineering and stylistic horror would be if their 1970s design crew was tripping on massive quantities of acid...and even then...it wouldn't be a good excuse."

At least the Ford Pinto had the decency to explode when you rear-ended it.

Although, you gotta give it up for them when it comes to the Javelin, although it does bear a striking resemblance to the Dodge Charger!



One of the funniest things I saw at Wal-Mart recently were die-cast replica cars such as the Pacer, Hornet, Ford Maverick...I mean, what's up with that?
