[FearedSanctity]

These ridiculous amount of injuries will help the Broncos a lot leading up to their bye, starting this Sunday:

San Diego
New Orleans
Kansas City
Tampa Bay
Jacksonville
New England

[Kris P Lettus]

Broncos are def gonna lose week 3..

FYI

[FearedSanctity]

I don't care if they lose week 3, so long as they win week 2 and 4. Beating NE would be nice too, so I don't have to hear about it from my mom

[Kris P Lettus]

lol Your mom is a Pats fan??

[FearedSanctity]

Yep, she was born and raised in Rhode Island. When the Red Sox swept the Rockies, oh yes did I hear about it. Anytime the Pats win a game, make the playoffs, make it to a Super Bowl, win a Super Bowl, I hear about it. She says she loves both the Broncos and the Patriots, but the Patriots will always come first

[ClockShot]

Add 49ers QB Alex Smith to the growing list of those out for the season.

[Kris P Lettus]

Did he take a snap on Sunday??

[CSL]

He did it 'attempting a long pass @ practice' or something

[Kris P Lettus]

lol

[VonErichLives]

Vince Young is gonna pull a Rampage Jackson..

or just muzzle his mother...

word is he's fine, and this is all his mother over-reacting and not knowing to keep her mouth shut when someone puts a mic in front of her.

ROMO’S GOOD DEED
Posted by Mike Florio on September 11, 2008, 10:25 a.m. EDT
Though we’re always skeptical of celebrities and pro athletes who do something nice for someone else and then send an e-mail to every newspaper in the country announcing their good deed, we’ve got a feeling that the recent Samaritan-style actions of Cowboys quarterback Tony Romo weren’t intended to garner the kind of good karma that comes from, say, a grandstanding donation of $10,000 to a smattering of charitable causes. (Then again, grandstanding donations of $10,000 to a smattering of charitable causes didn’t help Mike Vick in the karma department.)

On his way home from Sunday’s game against the Browns, Romo stopped to help a couple who was struggling to repair a flat tire.

Bill and Sharon White didn’t initially recognize Romo, due in part to the bandage on his chin that was covering the 13 stitches he received after taking a helmet to the jaw.

The light flickered for Sharon White while Romo was working on the tire. He didn’t answer when she asked if he was who he is. She repeated her question when he finished pumping air into the tire from a cigarette-lighter compressor.

“I didn’t want to bother him,” Sharon said, “but I asked again, ‘You’re Tony Romo, right?’ I knew it was him by then. But he smiled and said, ‘Yes, ma’am.’ I did something no 50-year-old woman should be doing, but I screamed real loud, and then jumped up and hugged him.”

Her husband, Bill, was less concerned about his wife’s PDA with a studly young athlete than he was about ruining his ability to watch the Cowboys-Browns game without knowing the outcome: “Don’t tell me how you guys did,” Bill White said. “I’m going home to watch it.”

Romo didn’t publicize his actions at all; the team didn’t even know about it as of Wednesday. If Sharon White hadn’t sent an e-mail to Randy Galloway of the Fort Worth Star-Telegram, the story might never have been known.

“He gets almost knocked cold in that game, and I read it took 13 stitches to close the cut, and then there’s a long flight home and Tony’s got to be dog tired, but he still was a good enough person to stop and help us,” Bill White said.

“Look, we’re driving a 10-year old car that is sitting in a parking lot with a flat tire in the dead of night. He could tell by that we’re nothing special. But here’s a young man making millions of dollars, and he’s got all this fame and glory, and he does this? . . . This was a good person we met. A good person with small-town values despite all the big-city fame and fortune.

“[I]f I ever had the opportunity, I’d also like to thank two other people. His mom and dad. They obviously raised him right.”

[Ninti the Mad]

cowboys

[Gonzo]

How fucking heartwarming. :mad:

[SammyG]

Wow, how awesome of Romo. Definitely a good read.

[Gonzo]

Nah it was a good story. Still hate that son of a bitch. :mad:

[RP]

that guy Pollard in KC....he's pretty good

[Skippord]

now I want to hug Tony Romo

[UmbrellaCorporation]

yeah, pretty cool of Romo actually.

[Kris P Lettus]

Brokeback Romo is good...

At sucking cock..

[#1-norm-fan]

:lol:

Romo could have single handedly run into both buildings of the World Trade Center on September 11th, saved every single man, woman and child and taken every terrorist directly to the proper authorities and certain people would still despise him. I guess that's what happens when you get to that point of greatness. :o

[Gonzo]

Yeah, great up until the point of choking in the playoffs. :o

[Ninti the Mad]

Romo had a Brady demeanor to his step last week.

I hope it continues.

[Gonzo]

Yeah me too. Break a fucking leg. Nah just kidding. I wouldn't wish for a player to get hurt. Although I probably wouldn't mind either.

[SammyG]

Giants 52
Rams 0

[Ninti the Mad]

I'll predict Giant 21 Rams 10

[UmbrellaCorporation]

I'll predict Giant 21 Rams 10


That sounds reasonable.

And personally, I don't think the Rams suck that bad. Maybe it's just me wanting to make excuses for a team that (at least here) gets a lot of hate, but I really don't see them as a BAD team, exactly. I dunno what it is, but I just personally feel that they're playing way below the level they should, not that they're a bad team.

[SammyG]

We have good players. But we suck. It's ridiculous.

[VonErichLives]

We have good players. But we suck. It's ridiculous.

i have Jackson in a TD only fantasy league... yeah, that might have been a big mistake...

didn't even play him last week and probably wont this week.

fuck, hope he does have a huge game and I can deal him.

[RP]

Peyton Manning might throw for 500 yards this week

[#1-norm-fan]

Yeah, great up until the point of choking in the playoffs. :o

As the Colts QB, Peyton Manning lost his first three playoff games. Romo has lost his first two and has put up better stats than Manning did at that point. Peyton Manning is considered one of the greatest QBs of all time.

Anyone who uses the playoff argument to explain why Romo "sucks" is retarded. Just sayin'.

[RP]

Colts made the pickup of the year by getting Justin Forsett

[Crimson]

Yea i dont know why seattle let him go..their rb's suck

[VonErichLives]

Peyton Manning might throw for 500 yards this week

or he might not...

so, if the Colts don't win, you're really never going to post again?

part of me is going to root for the Colts then... the rest of me really could careless.

[DrA]

Touchdown only fantasy football league. Gimme a break.

[DrA]

I was once in a TD (Terrell Davis) fantasy football league where the first person who drafted Terrell Davis won.

[Ninti the Mad]

Monday needs to hurry up.

Gonna hit a bar and grill with a giant projection screen and enjoy some awesome food and drinks.

[Kris P Lettus]

Gonna be raining here cause of Ike, but we're still gonna do the same party as last week, just no out doors tv..

Went and got the wings and I'm bout to go make the wing sauce, etc..

We have alot of injuries coming into this week and I hope the Skins can not capitalize..

Injuries mount for Saints’ defense
Posted: September 12th, 2008 | NFL.com Staff | Tags: New Orleans Saints, Washington Redskins

The Saints will be without three defensive starters against the Redskins in Week 2. Linebacker Scott Fujita, cornerback Randall Gay and safety Roman Harper did not practice on Friday and are listed as out for Sunday.

Injury report: Saints

Out
WR Marques Colston (thumb)
LB Scott Fujita (knee)
CB Randall Gay (illness, hamstring)
S Roman Harper (hamstring)
DT Antwan Lake (groin)
LB Mark Simoneau (back)
RB Aaron Stecker (hamstring)

Probable
LB Troy Evans (ankle)
RB Deuce McAllister (knee)
CB Mike McKenzie (knee)
DT Alvin McKinley (foot)
DT Brian Young (knee)

LB Mark Simoneau got put on injured reserve so I guess Jo Lonn Dunbar will get the start.. He looked really good in camp and preseason..

I am not scared though..

[VonErichLives]

so, what's the deal... the Ravers/Texans game was moved to monday, but the Texans stadium has damage, so not it's postponed "a few weeks"

but they don't have the same bye week, so now there is a rumor it will be played in NO on Monday?

[Kris P Lettus]

Haven't heard that..

Disrespectful to the Chocolate Thunderdome..

[Gonzo]

The Texans/Ravens is getting postponed until Nov. 9th. The Bengals are also moving a game to accommodate the change. Some bye weeks got flipped around. The weather damaged Reliant Stadium in Houston. 5 of the 9 retractable portions of the roof and debris fell into the stadium. Article on Yahoo! Look it up if you want the link.

[RP]

500 yards 6 Td's for Manning today

[ClockShot]

Patriots sign QB Matt Gutierrez from the practice squad and released WR C.J. Jones.

News of the day is that this may be Lane Kiffin's last day in Oakland. Old man Davis might be firing him on Monday.

I don't know much about his coaching but I like this Kiffin guy.

the Crypt keeper told him to resign in the offseason and kiffin said "no, I have a contract, you don't want me, fire me and pay me".

Now, with the comments Kiffin made this week, basiclly saying what everyone has known is Al Davis controls everything hands on... he'll end up getting fired and paid.

good for him.

[UmbrellaCorporation]

Al Davis is quite possibly the worst thing to happen to football.

[KingofOldSchool]

WINFIEEEELLLLDDDD!!!!!!

Hahahaaha Colts are going 0-2

Yeah I dunno I think some combo of this should make it into a sig

ROFL Chiefs btw

[OssMan]

Games so far have been pretty 2sicc, Justin Tuck + Osi Umenyiora is going to be the best defensive end combo ever

[Innovator]

They will be next year when Osi is healthy, huge athletic guys

[FearedSanctity]

Rofl at the replay equipment failing. Denver will win the Super Bowl with this mass amount of luck they're getting

[RP]

no Sir. The Colts will win the Superbowl. Now stfu and go away.

No ability to capitalize on injuries....no need either.

JASON CAMPELL WITH THE BOMB TO SANTANA MOSS TO SEAL THE DAMN GAME!

[Boomer]

Matt Ryan looks horrible today. No excuses here.

[Ninti the Mad]

lol Rams suck

[UmbrellaCorporation]

Matt Cassel.

Please.

Unleash the FUCKING DRAGON.

Not because I dislike the Jets (not at all), but I'm curious to see what he can do in stepping out of Brady's shadow, if even only for one season.

Jets look good though today.

[Ninti the Mad]

Jets do look pretty good but they cant capitalize in the red zone.

And Cassell is horrible. My god... I feel bad for NE.

[HeartBreakMan2k]

Would just like to say "WHOOOO PANTHERS!!!!!" once again. 2 and 0 without Smith. Gonna be a good season.

[Shadow]

Jets do look pretty good but they cant capitalize in the red zone.

And Cassell is horrible. My god... I feel bad for NE.

Don't look for them to go all the way this year.

I think they'd be happy with a playoff apperence.

[Gonzo]

That division is wide open, with the exception of Miami. I still think Miami may be able to steal a game from any of their division opponents. I wouldn't be shocked to see them go 3-3 or something. Buffalo sure is looking pretty tough right now. Edwards played much better today, judging by the #'s.

[Shadow]

And to think...most predictions were saying New England was gonna take their division lock, stock, and barrel.

[Gonzo]

Amazing how one player going down can change the outcome of everything so fast.

[Shadow]

Indeed.

And the Jets aren't that bad a team. Never have been. Just haven't had that last peice of the puzzel that was needed to compleat everything. Now if only they could fucking get it down in the Red Zone everything would be fine.

[Jeritron]

What the fuck are you bitches babbling about? The Pats are 2-0

[McLegend]

Broncos get lucky again.

[Ninti the Mad]

wowwww denver

[HeartBreakMan2k]

Such bullshit in Denver on this game. I mean, fun game and everything but wow.

[IC Champion]

FUCKING BULLSHIT

REFS ARE A JOKE

Chargers were fucking robbed of this game.

[Ninti the Mad]

What the fuck are you bitches babbling about? The Pats are 2-0

Against mediocre teams that have difficulty scoring.

I dont care if the Jets have Favre. They are still the Jets until they prove otherwise.

[Evil Vito]

<font color=goldenrod>Shanahan is class. He knew the Broncos shouldn't have had the chance to win it with the blown call so he went for 2 to give the Chargers a chance.

But yeah, the Chargers got raped.</font>

[Team Sheep]

Pats still know how to grind out tough wins when they have to though.

[IC Champion]

<font color=goldenrod>Shanahan is class. He knew the Broncos shouldn't have had the chance to win it with the blown call so he went for 2 to give the Chargers a chance.

[ClockShot]

Wow. Denver got sloppy in the second half.

[UmbrellaCorporation]

lol chargers.

[Ninti the Mad]

lol chargers.

[D Mac]

FIRE HERM EDWARDS :mad: :mad: :mad:

[DrA]

FUCKING CHIEFS :mad:

[DrA]

lol at the concept of being a Chiefs fan though.

[D Mac]

Yeah we're always disapointed. :(

[Hanso Amore]

Buffalo goes into Jacksonville and beats one of the best teams in the AFC over the last few years.

Edwards is the real deal. He is just so damn efficient and cool. marched down the field and won the game. Amazing poise for a 2nd year QB starting his 10 or so game. Awesome.

Pats are still the team to beat in the AFC east, not doubt, but I honestly feel like the Bills havea shot to win at least one against them this year. In years past there has just been a huge gap. But they could be a spoiler. I still think they can win 10 and take a wildcard.

[SammyG]

BOOYAH'D!

[DrA]

It may be a little early to say anything, but I really think that this could be St. Louis's year this year.

[SammyG]

... Shut up. Wow, what a 10,000th post to say that.

[Ninti the Mad]

Hey DrA... are you a Cowboys fan?

Just wondering since you live in Dallas and all.

Mavericks still suck.

[Jeritron]

Against mediocre teams that have difficulty scoring.

I dont care if the Jets have Favre. They are still the Jets until they prove otherwise.


Yea no shit but why are you all "Cassell looks terrible, I feel bad for New England." Why? We look better than every other team in our division. What AFC teams are even that much better?

Granted, yes it sucks terribly to not have Brady, but the team is still above average without him. I'm not saying we're going 19-0 or anything, or even that we're gonna win it all. Just sayin, don't delliver the eulogy on us yet. 2-0.

[Loose Cannon]

J-E-T-S JETS JETS :(

[Nervous Ferret]

Cassel wasn't THAT bad. Still better than Brodie Croyle or Tavarias Jackson and some other starters. The Jets played real tough but couldn't put up any points and couldn't get the big stop when they needed it. Hello another 9-7 first round playoff exit season :-\

Maybe not though, still way too early to say that

[RP]

Stay classy San Diego

[RP]

I'd love to see Steelers loss here. But the Browns are horrible. They need to put Brady Quinn in.

[UmbrellaCorporation]

lol holy shit. Look at this picture of Al Davis.

Don't worry the Giants got raped in their first two games last year, well actually the first game wasn't nearly as bad but this one was pretty much exactly the same, so I dunno

[Gonzo]

I don't know the Giants looked competitive at least. Eli was off in the first half, the Rams secondary was out of position on so many plays. This game would have been a lot worse a lot quicker if Eli hit the open man a couple times in the first half.

[RP]

Did i mention Anthony Gonzales is the greatest reciever ever?

[Gonzo]

:rofl:

[VonErichLives]

Jets do look pretty good but they cant capitalize in the red zone.

And Cassell is horrible. My god... I feel bad for NE.

Cassell wasn't horrible...

he didn't do anything great to win the game and didn't do anything dumb to lose it.

the OL played like shit most the first half and I know he under threw Randy a little bit, but when the ball hits you in the fucking chest w/o being tipped you should catch it!

a win is a win...

[Kris P Lettus]

Horrible game today.. Have no fucking clue why Deuce was dressed out only to carry the ball twice late in the game.. I can see trying to "save" his knees but why even dress him out?? We can not establish the running game with a between the tackles "bruiser" so with Stecker out also, that threw out offensive rhythm off from the start.. The two plays the Deuce did play you could see the Skins safties drop down.. This could've opened up over the top for guys like David Patten and Devery Henderson.. Still too many turnovers.. Two more picks from Brees but neither was his fault as it popped off a WR shoulderpads.. Then the Shockey fumble..

:nono:

Had way too many injuries on D.. I mean most of our starting secondary are special temas guys ans dime backs..

Scott Fujita LB Knee Did Not Participate In Practice --
Randall Gay CB Illness Did Not Participate In Practice --
Roman Harper S Hamstring Did Not Participate In Practice --
Antwan Lake DT Groin Did Not Participate In Practice --
Alvin McKinley DT Foot Did Not Participate In Practice --
Mark Simoneau LB Back Did Not Participate In Practice --
Troy Evans LB Ankle Full Participation in Practice --
Deuce McAllister RB Knee Full Participation in Practice --
Mike McKenzie CB Knee Full Participation in Practice --
Brian Young DT Knee Full Participation in Practice --
Aaron Stecker RB Hamstring Limited Participation in Practice --

That's alot of starters, specially at DB and LB..

Hopefully it'll get better soon..

Who Dat??

Rams are gonna go 0-16 this year.

[VonErichLives]

So, Jackson single handedly cost me 2 fantasy football games...

one team, I had him, and the TD would have been 12 points and won me the game.

the other team, it would have given McNabb 3 extra points and take 6 away from westbrook and would have won that game for me (person I played had westbrook)

on the other hand the covered so I went 6 for 6 and won my weekly pool...

[#1-norm-fan]

That was the most entertaining football game I have ever seen.

Wow.

[Mr. Monday Morning]

The clown that hosts our NFL coverage is slating Tony Kornheiser for being 'irritating' :nono: Same guy that barely knows what a first down is

The 5 guy doesn't really know a lot but as with most of the presenters they've had he'll pick things up working opposite Carlson. He even had Colin Murray sounding like an expert by the end of his run, FFS.

Kornheiser on the other hand is a complete cockhole.

[Supreme Olajuwon]

Kornheiser isn't an announcer. It's just not for him. He can't analyze things in the moment. He doesn't know enough about football to provide enough of a contribution to warrant him being in the booth (although to be fair, knowledge about the sport you're covering is hardly a prerequisite to work for ESPN anymore).

I love Kornheiser but he's just way out of his element.

[Gonzo]

I remember listening to something on the Tirico and Van Pelt show about how the MNF broadcast team was told to keep it more about the game as there were numerous complaints from fans that there was too much gossip. I think Tirico and Jaws are doing a good job so far, but Kornheiser is out of his element, as Supreme suggested. They need to get a real good color guy. Tirico does a decent job on the play by play and Jaws is a good analyst.

[Team Sheep]

Yeah last year the MNF lot seemed to just be joking and laughing A LOT through the game. I think they've kept Kornheiser for that element.

Do you agree with what he said about the Cowboys overtaking the Yankees as the biggest and most well known franchise in America now because of 'the blue star'?

[Kris P Lettus]

They need to get a real good color guy. Tirico does a decent job on the play by play

Tirico is a good "color" guy..

[Loose Cannon]

thank you Deshawn Jackson for being a fucking retard and costing me a fantasy victory yesterday.


I still love the cocky SOB though :love:

person I played had Wesbrook too VEL

[McLegend]

I also love him.

[VonErichLives]

person I played had Wesbrook too VEL

what kills me is he managed to lose for me in 2 leagues...

the one I had him in and the one I had McNabb in...

unreal... at least the Eagle's covered...

[Loose Cannon]

I had McNabb, TO, Jackson and Barber going Monday night so that game was very exciting for me to watch. I was eating up points left and right. Went from 55 to 130 overnight

[ClockShot]

Seahawks did some work today in the WR corps. They sign Koren Robinson to a one year deal today. They also aquire Keary Colbert from the Broncos. Word going around is that a 5th round pick is what Denver got in exchange with a shot at it being a 4th pending Colbert's performance.

Bob Sanders is out 4-6 weeks. WTF IS GOING ON HERE!

[Gonzo]

God :rofl: I remember that game. I'm pretty sure it was against the Giants.

[Kris P Lettus]

The Saints have signed quarterback Joey Harrington, and he was on the field Friday in Metairie for the Saints' practice.

To make room on the roster, the Saints released defensive tackle Alvin McKinley.

Harrington last played with the Atlanta Falcons in 2007 and completed 62 percent of his passes for 2,215 yards with seven touchdowns and eight interceptions.

He played four seasons with the Detroit Lions, being drafted by Detroit out of Oregon in 2002, and his best season was 2004 when he completed 56 percent of his passes for 3,047 yards and 19 touchdowns.

He spent the 2006 season with the Miami Dolphins.

Also, the early word on injuries from Friday's practice is that tight end Mark Campbell has a pulled hamstring.

More details to come.

This is fucking gay gay gay..

As I said when this was rumored a few weeks ago, it's ridiculous to use a roster spot for a QB who pretty much sucks just as bad as any other unsigned QB out there.. As of right now, we have the best 1-2 punch at QB in the NFL.. If Brees and Marky Bruns go down there's no way Joey Harrington would lead us into the Promise Land, so why do we need a former starter who has sucked for every single team he's played for when we def need the roster spot for depth at pretty much every position on defense??

Fucking stupid..

[ClockShot]

:rofl:

You better just throw him to the wolves this Sunday and end it all, Krispy.

Lions, Falcons, Dolphins, and now the Saints. Poor guy, better off just calling it a career being with this many teams in such a short career. No need to mention Culpepper, I know.

[SammyG]

RAMS GONNA BEAT THE HAWKS AND I WILL BE THERE

[Kris P Lettus]

GOD FORBID that Brees goes down, then Bruns, do they really thing Harrington would step up??

If Brees goes down the season will be pretty much shot, but Brunnell is a super solid back-up.. I just don't see why we need to carry a third QB after those two.. I mean if Brees and Bruns get hurt, we should then go after some unsigned QB, not now.. I bet Culpepper will still be sitting at home come December and he's 10 times the QB Harrington is..

Someone on my Saints message board said that they brought him in cause he's an INT machine so our secondary can work on picking the ball off more in practice..

lol

:(

[Kris P Lettus]

Saints Head Coach Sean Payton said Harrington is a player the Saints have kept their eye on recently.

"Joey is a guy that we’ve kept our eye on and had in for a visit when we were in Indianapolis. Terrance Copper was our emergency third quarterback as we’ve been going into the games with just two. With Terrance out this week, we addressed that and felt like the timing was right in bringing Joey in here now. He’s a guy that we thought played pretty well for Atlanta last year on tape. He has ability. It’s a good opportunity for him to come in here under guys like (Drew) Brees and (Mark) Brunell, learn our system and for us to get a chance to develop and work with him. I think It’s a good fit."

I'd rather see Copper, who is a WR, in there instead of Harrington..

[Mr. Monday Morning]

Oh come on, nobody is watching this? Ronnie Brown is dicking the Pats

[HeartBreakMan2k]

Carolina :(

Was great seeing NE get butt raped by MIA though.

[U-Warrior]

Buffalo beats oakland 24-23, and takes first place in the east. So pumped right now.

Oakland played really good. Was able to punch through the offensive line and put a lot of pressure on Edwards, for the the first three quarters. That and some stupid maistakes by buffalo put them ahead of us for most of the game.

Last 10 minutes, the our offensive line finally stepped up and gave Edwards some time. And he fucking murdered oakland with it.

Sloppy playing by the bills in the first 3 quarters, but they played just well enough to stay in it, and finally came alive in the 4th.

Denver always has been horrible at playing with a lead :(

Giants :love: They looked sloppy at times, but definitely a hard fought win, could have gone either way. Fucking bye week next week tho. :(

I thought Cincy really showed up today. They played well and seemed to get their offense going a bit. I thought Eli could have made some better throws on a selective handful of plays, but there were also 2-3 key drops where the pass was right in the bread basket. I'm not really worried about their performance as I think the farther the season goes on the more infrequent these issues will be.

Good day of football today ..and my Cowboys have yet to play. Raiders defense looked sick ..if they can get any type of consistent offense look out.

Suck it bandwagon fans!

[ClockShot]

Whew. Fucking nail bitter over in Denver. Won that by pure luck.

But it's been a long time since I saw a INT rock a team. When Cutler threw that, the wheels came right off.

Hats off to your crew Krispy. I thought the Saints were over and done before halftime. But they went tooth and nail to the end.

Buffalo beats oakland 24-23, and takes first place in the east. So pumped right now.

Fuck yeah man, great game.

FUnny story. I have season tix for the bills, and also have a season pass to park on some guys lawn near the stadium. There was a dude there dressed like the Ultimate Warrior of the Bills. He was pretty damn funny.

:foc:

This is craziness them not playing Deuce.. Brees and Reggie are amazing but we sucked on short yardage.. Without Deuce (and Stecker who actually was on the injury report today) we have ZERO inside running game.. So many blown opportunities.. Wish Usama Young and Randell Gay hurt this was the first time this season out CBs were getting burnt, when they had Jason "TOAST" David in there.. Tracy Porter is gonna be a beast..

[Kris P Lettus]

That post was totally made when Denver was up 21-3. In hindsight, probably a bad idea :$

I was proud.. I mean, they clawed their way back in the second quarter and even after giving up a turnover for a TD, not getting in the endzone to finish the first half, and missing two FGs, we only lost by 2 to one of the best teams in the NFL ATM..

:-\

We just really need an inside running game.. Our offense would prolly be the best in the NFL if we just had that between the tackles threat, who has been standing on the sidelines since week three of last year..

:nono:

[#1-norm-fan]

I didn't feel good the entire game against Green Bay for some reason. I'm sure Barber not fumbling and winning it 31-9 would have probably made it better but we should have blown them out by a bit more. Just didn't feel as dominant as it should have. A wins a win though.

[Kris P Lettus]

WTF??

Green Bay has one of the best defenses in the NFL.. Also, Rodgers has been pretty stellar all season and has pretty much quieted all doubters..

Why do you think the Cowboys would dominate them more than yall did??

[Ninti the Mad]

I thought that last Barber fumble was kinda weird.

I thought he was down and the play was dead.

(ribs prolly still hurting - he lose the ball two other times but recovered by him and by some other guy who then ran another 5 - 10 yards)


I dont really count that last TD by GB though. The Cowboys knew that GB needed to score 3 TD's to win so they just backed off and played to burn clock.

But, yeah, our rushing pwnd GB.

BARBER / JONES > Your RB duos

[Ninti the Mad]

Imagine how horrible Dallas played and still won by an impressive margin against a good defense. :cool:

[FearedSanctity]

Denver also doesn't seem to be able to have a good offense and defense at the same time. That past few years the defense was great, but the offense kinda sucked. And before that the offense was awesome, defense was pretty inconsistent. '05-'06 had both at a good level. But now the differences are extreme, the offense is incredible and the defense is fucking terrible

AL HARRIS COULD BE DONE FOR SEASON
Posted by Michael David Smith on September 22, 2008, 4:21 p.m. EDT
Green Bay Packers cornerback Al Harris has started every game since the Packers acquired him in a trade prior to the 2003 season, but that streak appears close to ending.

Harris, who had to leave Sunday night’s game against the Cowboys with an undisclosed injury, may have a ruptured spleen. He is reportedly getting a second opinion, but the injury could end his season.

Harris suffered the injury in the first quarter when he ran into Packers linebacker A.J. Hawk. Packers coach Mike McCarthy said after the game that doctors held him out because there was blood in his urine.

If Harris is out, Tramon Williams would likely move into the starting lineup opposite Charles Woodson.


------------------------------------------------

wow ruptured spleen...

[Kris P Lettus]

Chris Simms called and he wants his pussified spleen back..

[Skippord]

The Broncos defense saddens me

[Kris P Lettus]

The lack of Offensive Pass Interference call on Brandon Marshall when they called Jason David fro DPI in the forth AND the no call on third and one when y'all clearly had someone lined up in the neutral zone, during the forth quarter both saddened me..

Mort just reported about the latter on ESPN saying Payton is pissed..

[Kris P Lettus]

Also in the first quarter during one of the first drive, y'all's left tackle had a huge handful of Will Smith's facemask while they were running off that side..

Also one of y'all's WR held the shit out of someone and Joe Buck and Aikman were saying how selfless it was that a WR makes those kind of blocks.. It was clear as day on the replay and they kept going on how great of a block it was..

WTF

[#1-norm-fan]

WTF??

Green Bay has one of the best defenses in the NFL.. Also, Rodgers has been pretty stellar all season and has pretty much quieted all doubters..

Why do you think the Cowboys would dominate them more than yall did??

Because I thought we played relatively sloppy on offense so I just felt a little disappointed that we didn't take the game over more and show some "swagger".

[Gonzo]

Called it.

totally did not watch the game

wasn't on in Ohio

[Kris P Lettus]

Called it.

You're gonna need to call 911 when I come to murder your face..

[Kris P Lettus]

Payton about the non-call:

What happened on the 3rd-and-1 play?

“That’s on me. It was a goal line defense and I should’ve taken a timeout. The clock had gone down and we have a package where we can out of a play and into another play and the clock was running down; Drew was doing a good job of trying to use the time to our advantage. The play-design all of a sudden becomes problematic in that there’s an extra guy on the back side. I thought that at the point of attack we blocked it well, Pierre did as good a job as he could have done and they were in a front that really made it tough for us to run the play.

“The thing that’s disappointing for me on that play was that earlier in the game we got called for a neutral zone infraction on Jo-Lonn Dunbar (http://neworleanssaints.com/Team/Roster/People/Jo-Lonn%20Dunbar.aspx), and I’m watching the game today on the coaches’ tape and on that 3rd-and-1, their linebacker to the point of attack looked to be in the neutral zone. I went back and I looked at the TV copy and he’s a yard-and-a-half in the neutral zone on our side of the line of scrimmage. That’s a hard pill for me to swallow on a critical play like that. Now it had no bearing on the outcome of the play in regards to the result but when something like that happens, it’s not a judgment call. It’s clearly a call that’s right in front of you as a line judge and you make it or you don’t make it. Usually when it’s close, the play goes on but my problem was that it wasn’t close. My problem was that this player not only was in the neutral zone but his whole head is across the line of scrimmage and past the ball before the ball is ever snapped and no call was made. I have a hard time swallowing that because obviously all these plays are important, but from a consistency standpoint, that same penalty was called against us earlier in the game. I can understand some judgment calls – ones that maybe could go either way – but when something like that isn’t called and it’s a neutral zone infraction, it’s discouraging.

“But we had plenty of opportunities. I didn’t want to get up here and start complaining about a lack of call. The play wasn’t a good play versus that front and I don’t think who the running back was would have mattered because there was guy coming free. That one’s on me.”

Could that have been a big play if not for the man coming free?

“It’s a big play, it’s a big gain the way it’s blocked. The problem is in a gaps defense there is one extra guy and Zach Strief (http://neworleanssaints.com/Team/Roster/People/Zach%20Strief.aspx) was doing his job to handle the down lineman and then there was one extra. To battle that you get into tighter formation and bring a receiver in tight to handle that extra guy, but those are all things that are hindsight. I think at the point of attack it was blocked extremely well considering there was a guy a yard offsides on defense.”

[ClockShot]

Kiffin watch is now in effect.

Bill Ford Jr. came out and said that if he was in control, he would have fired Matt Millen.

And Romeo Crennel has put on the Lovie Smith mask. "Derek Anderson is our Quarterback." But they're getting Quinn ready to go.

[Triple A]

Mad embarrassing game right now...

[Kris P Lettus]

Thought they had a chance there until that big catch/TD run..

:-\

[DrA]

On NFL.com the headline said 'Redskins' Taylor out vs. Dallas after calf procedure', and for a moment I thought they were referring to Sean Taylor, but then I realized he was dead.

[Kris P Lettus]

We still play Madden 07 and my bro plays with the Skins a good bit.. Every time he does something with Sean Taylor we have a moment of silence..

[DrA]

Yeah my friends and I do something similar whenever someone makes a play with Terrence Kiel.

[D Mac]

Enjoy your good year DrA. :mad:

Payton should be pissed he has a pussy POS for a kicker who cost them the game.

Anyway

The Colts will win the Superbowl. I'm calling it now. They will win the Superbowl. It sucks to say this, but all we have to do is get into the playoffs. Then all bets are off. Are defense sucks. Its not because we dont Bob Sanders either. I'm sorry, but Bob Sanders wont make us tackle better...or does he? Hrmmmmmmmmmmmmm

But i dunno. I was so sick watching that Jacksonville game. The Mathis pick was clearly pass interference. I got a new rule. If you see Tony Dungy screaming at a referee, reguardless if you even saw the play or not, that ref was wrong.

I just hate the idea that we might not win the division. Believe it or not, winning the division, to me, is very important. I hate losing to division teams.

Oh well, atleast we didnt get beat by a college offense. But we sure as hell played like a college defense.

[Kris P Lettus]

Payton should be pissed he has a pussy POS for a kicker who cost them the game.

Absolutely hate this line of thinking..

As I've said before, as a team, leaving the game in your kickers hands is bad news in any game.. I mean, how is it anymore his fault for missing than the entire offense, for not scoring another TD or getting that last first down?? Or the defense for not stopping the Broncos?? Or Payton's fault for not calling a kick to end the first half?? Etc, etc..

Win as a team, lose as a team..

[Mr. Monday Morning]

Well Payton's not exactly going to cut himself now is he

[CSL]

Trent Green takes over from Mark Bulger. Yeah, that's gonna fix the problems

[Kris P Lettus]

Well Payton's not exactly going to cut himself now is he

He's also not gonna cut Gramatica after one bad game.. Specially when we pretty much wasted a draft pick on a kicker who was good, but later cut him in favor of keeping Gramatica..

[Mr. Monday Morning]

Kickers are by far the most interchangable position in the league. I would've thought you would understand how a kicker can cost you after putting up with Mare.

Hell sign Vanderjagt, I could do with a laugh.

[ClockShot]

Fast Willie Parker out for the game against the Ravens.

[Shadow]

Trent Green takes over from Mark Bulger. Yeah, that's gonna fix the problems

It worked for the......can anyone tell me a team Green's been on that's gone anywhere with him as QB?

[Shadow]

On NFL.com the headline said 'Redskins' Taylor out vs. Dallas after calf procedure', and for a moment I thought they were referring to Sean Taylor, but then I realized he was dead.

DON'T JOKE ABOUT THAT!

Jesus!

[Kris P Lettus]

It worked for the......can anyone tell me a team Green's been on that's gone anywhere with him as QB?

KC was good like one year he was there.. Don't rememebr if the made the playoffs or not though..

In other news The Saints lose another starter for several games..

Jamar Nesbit of the New Orleans Saints has been suspended without pay for the team's next four games for violating the NFL Policy on Anabolic Steroids and Related Substances. Nesbit's suspension begins immediately. He is eligible to return to the Saints' active roster on Monday, October 20 following the team's October 19 game against the Carolina Panthers. "We are disappointed in the suspension of Jamar," said Saints Executive Vice President/General Manager Mickey Loomis. "We will support Jamar through this process and look forward to having him rejoin the team soon."

WTF

:rant:

[Gonzo]

Hell sign Vanderjagt, I could do with a laugh.

I don't think they are easily interchangeable. A solid, dependable kicker is close to one of the most important positions on the team.

[LoDownM]

KC needs to fire Edwards.

[#1-norm-fan]

With the exception of a few clutch, dependable kickers in the league, they all seem pretty average. It just seems like you have those few awesome kickers and then it's a big drop to mediocre.

[Mr. Monday Morning]

Yeah sorry that's what I meant, outside of a few very dependable guys they're all pretty much of a muchness.

[Hanso Amore]

Im with Monday Morning. Name one Elite team that didnt or doesnt have a solid kicker. They are one of the most underrated assets.

Few teams will have playoff success without a great kicker. If a team doesn't have a tried and tested kicker its bound to cause problems.

Example: The 2004 New York Giants :mad:

Yeah, anyone from buffalo knows that all too well.

[VonErichLives]

Plaxico Burress suspended for insubordination.

I've seen 2 different reports siteing jay glazer, one said "1 game" and one said "2 games"

my guess is 1 game, but it's coughlin who knows... apperently he skipped a team meeting monday and didn't answer his phone tuesday.

[VonErichLives]

apperently it's 2 weeks, but one of the weeks is a bye, so he lost 2 weeks pay but only misses 1 game.

[OssMan]

What a piece of shit

[Gonzo]

Yeah, I'm curious to hear more details.

[Mr. Monday Morning]

It's not like this is out of character for Coughlin though is it? I know he went all 'nice' last year but playing hooky is probably not the best idea if he's your boss.

[Evil Vito]

<font color=goldenrod>Shit, one of my fantasy teams is dependent on Plax and now I lose him for two weeks :mad:

But yeah, dumb move by Burress.</font>

MILLEN IS OUT AS GM OF THE LIONS


WHAT A JOYOUS DAY IN THE CITY OF DETROIT


FIRST KWAME, NOW MILLEN, WHO'S NEXT

[SammyG]

Rams release Fahkir Brown, sign Jason Craft.

[Team Sheep]

How long is Favre planning on staying in New York? Part of me thinks we might be better right now if we'd stuck with Chad. I dunno, it's just not there. The offense hasn't shown any sign of 'clicking' at all yet :-/

[Cooler Tom Schuler]

3 games under a new system is hardly enough to pass judgment.

[Team Sheep]

That's the point. We might only have Brett for like a year, so what's the point spending that just for him to get used to the offense? 3 games in and it's not looking good. Might already be too late.

[Kris P Lettus]

Rams release Fahkir Brown, sign Jason Craft.

Both former Saints..

[Hanso Amore]

Wow, when the Saints sweet D doesnt want you, you must be good.

[#1-norm-fan]

Im with Monday Morning. Name one Elite team that didnt or doesnt have a solid kicker. They are one of the most underrated assets.

I'm just saying I find all but about 5 or so kickers in the league to be "iffy". They can shine one week, and then suck the next.

And you'd have to define "solid" but I can tell you know that there have been and currently are teams in the league that are very good but don't have a clutch kicker.

[Hanso Amore]

I agree that there are few elite kickers, and only a few dependable. They just happen to be on the best teams (perhaps that is what makes them....the best)

[U-Warrior]

Ryan Lindell is pretty fucking good tbh.

[Gonzo]

I don't think a kicker has to be "elite" to also be considered dependable. Alls I'm saying is that if you have problems at the kicker position it proves to be a huge issue eventually. Always does, always will.

[U-Warrior]

I don't think there is a single kicker in the NFL, that can't at least be described as "dependable".

They are all dependable, or else they wouldn't be there. It's just some are more dependable than others.
