NFL Week 2 Discussion Thread

[Honolulu_Blue]

I know it's only Thursday, but I was getting bored with the endless Randy Moss/Eli Manning debates that seemed to have dominated the last few pages of the Week 1 Thread so...

Here's to Week 2.

Here are links to the NFL TV Maps for Week 2: (UPDATED X2 !)

2010 week 2 - Everything you need to know about sports on television - the506.com (http://the506.com/sports/?tag=2010-week-2)


The Manning Bowl is the Sunday night game (Eli!) and Monday night is, the surprisingly woeful looking in week 1, 49ers vs. the Super Bowl Champs.

As for Lions... Ever since the last two minutes of the first half of the Bears game, I believe the special Nightmare that will be this season has begun. Forte scores a TD on a 80 yard screen pass, Stafford gets his throwing shoulder dislocated and it all culminates in the Lions losing thanks to one of the worst calls in NFL history.

So, now comes Week 2: The Nightamre Continues. You just know Michael Vick is going to tear up the Lions this week. It's going to be awful. People will be talking about how he overcame such adversity and is finally "back", blah, blah, blah.

So, the first two weeks of the season will involve the Lions getting completely screwed out of their first road win in 21 games and, thus, a loss to Rod Marinelli and Mike Martz and then they will be the team for which Michael Vick, torturer and killer of dogs, gets resurrected as a hero who has overcome great adversity.

This will all dovetail nicely into Week 3's loss to Brett Favre - Favre's magic is back! - and then the Lions' 451st straight loss in Wisconsin to the Packers. They will be 0-4. Season over.

My only hope is that at some point during the Lions-Eagles game either Vanden Bosch or Suh level Vick and while he's on the turf, whoever sacked him gets down on all fours and pretends to urinate on him like a dog. After that... I got nothin'.

[Butter]

I do believe those coverage maps are old.

[DaddyTorgo]

I hope Suh is a huge dog-lover and fucking kills Michael Vick on the field. I'm talking like...rips off his head and shits into his beheaded corpse.

[TroyF]

Lots of fairly good match ups this week. Also a ton of home teams who were expected to be good and lost road games in week one:

Falcons (hosting the Cardinals)
Bengals (hosting the Ravens)
Cowboys (hosting the Bears)
Vikings (hosting the Dolphins)
Chargers (hosting the Jags)
Colts (hosting the Giants)
Niners (hosting the Saints)


The two games I'm most looking forward to are the Pats/Jets and Steelers/Titans games. Both have a chance to be very good games.

[Honolulu_Blue]

I do believe those coverage maps are old.

I have updated said maps.

[bhlloy]

I'm very impressed with how Schwartz handled and continues to handle the Calvin Johnson no-catch. I really hope that the Lions brass keeps him around for the long haul and he'll turn that team around eventually.

[Galaril]

The Steelers-Titans game could be very competitive with the Steelers looking like they will be without Hampton at NT, Stark at LT and maybe Hines at WR due to injuires.

[Ronnie Dobbs2]

With how those two teams looked in week one, wouldn't those injuries point to it being less competitive rather than more competitive?

[albionmoonlight]

H_B:

I think that the Lions might be my second favorite team right now. You guys had all the makings of a "Where the hell did these guys come from?" season this year. It was your year. Then that fucking shoulder injury. (I think had Stafford played, the CJ touchdown catch issue would not have been an issue because you would have been ahead at the end).

It's not fair, and I can't help but root for some karmic justice to come your way.

[Easy Mac]

Does anyone know why a small patch of South Carolina get the Miami-Minn game, while the rest of the surrounding states gets Pitt-Tenn.

[Alan T]

I assumed of course I would get the Pats vs Jets game, but I was hoping for something at least half interesting otherwise. Stuck with Miami vs Minn and Chicago vs Dallas though. Yuck.

[Galaril]

With how those two teams looked in week one, wouldn't those injuries point to it being less competitive rather than more competitive?

I was trying to be nice to our FOFC Steeler fans here:)

[spleen1015]

I have updated said maps.

Your CBS 4pm link is really the CBS 1pm link.

[jbergey22]

Does anyone know why a small patch of South Carolina get the Miami-Minn game, while the rest of the surrounding states gets Pitt-Tenn.

Sidney Rice use to play for SC. A lot of Vikings fans in that area because of it.

[Lathum]

I fully expect the Giants to get crushed Sunday night.

[Honolulu_Blue]

Your CBS 4pm link is really the CBS 1pm link.

That shit has been FIXED

[Sun Tzu]

Here's to hoping for a 49er Monday night miracle.

[stevew]

Sidney Rice use to play for SC. A lot of Vikings fans in that area because of it.I find this impossible to believe. He had one good year and is hurt this year. More likely the programming director is just going with the CBS national game over the steelers titans.

[jbergey22]

It's true Steve.

[Greyroofoo]

I fully expect the Giants to get crushed Sunday night.

As long as your running back has at least one leg and can be pointed in the general direction of the right end zone, he shouldn't have any problem rushing for 200 yards against the Colts Defense :banghead:

[Aylmar]

The Steelers-Titans game could be very competitive with the Steelers looking like they will be without Hampton at NT, Stark at LT and maybe Hines at WR due to injuires.

The Steelers are 15-1 and haven't allowed a single 100 yard rusher with Hoke replacing Hampton as the starting NT. Hoke could have left and been a starter on several teams, but stays because he says he loves the organization and Dick LeBeau. He's no Hampton, but he's very good at his job all the same.

Starks has a shot of playing, it'll be game time. Even if he doesn't, I liked what Scott did on Sunday (except for the first snap where he got bullrushed). Still, if Starks can't go, it's a concern. I don't know why they don't work Tony Hills over there since he's just an LT (and according to coaches has looked good) and Scott can flex along a couple of positions, but hey, what do I know?

Ward isn't hurt. I haven't seen anything about him being on the injury list. I know he didn't practice yesterday, but the Steelers always give a few vets Wednesday off from practice.

I think it will be a great game. Fisher always game plans the Steelers very well and Pittsburgh always has trouble in Tenn. Slug fest all the way. At the end of the day, I don't like either QB. I think Young can be had and Dixon is a third stringer starting his third game. Advantage Titans.

[remper]

Forte scores a TD on a 80 yard screen pass, Stafford gets his throwing shoulder dislocated and it all culminates in the Lions losing thanks to one of the worst calls in NFL history.


If it makes you feel any better, I think the Bears train wreck season begins in earnest in week 2 and continues on from there. It should have begun in week 1...

We're going to get exposed against the Cowboys, and I'm predicting a drubbing.

[Galaril]

Yeah, I did not see Hines was hurt I saw he did not practice and thought he was injured but now from your post i realize they just rest some vets. This will be a slugfest but actually htink or oline and dline will be the differnce. Young I also expect to have a good game or CJ. I think it will be hard to stop both.

[Big Fo]

Does anyone know why a small patch of South Carolina get the Miami-Minn game, while the rest of the surrounding states gets Pitt-Tenn.

It's an oasis of good fortune surrounded by people stuck watching Steelers-Titans. Another week watching a stream unless I feel like going to a bar.

I'm interested to see how Miami's defense will do against a legitimate NFL offense. I know Buffalo is bad but I was still impressed with the way the defense was hitting guys and pressuring the QB. I think the offense will be a little better this week and that it should be a close game with Miami having a decent chance to pull off the upset.

[MikeVic]

Why stuck? I think Titans/Steelers will be a close, interesting game.

[stevew]

It's true Steve.
So the SC homers who stood by him when he had less than 50 catches in his first two seasons are still Vikings fans even when he isn't playing? I mean you could say they like giant cock and are fans of Schiancoe. I would buy that. Sidney Rice, no way.

[Alan T]

Yeah no joke. I would easily prefer to watch Titans/Steelers over Vikings/Dolphins.

[jbergey22]

LOL!

[stevew]

Solomon Wilcots just drips douche though. Mark my words, he'll kill the enjoyment of the game.

Thanks, AB. I will take whatever good vibes, karma, mojo, or whatever I can get for the Lions. The Doom is beginning to creep in already.

[stevew]

I'm definitely pro-Lion as well. Although already the Stafford injury thing is getting to be questionable.

[molson]

Mark Sanchez does his part to help the Pats this weekend, guaranteeing victory.

Nothing would amuse me more than the Jets going 6-10 and yet continuing to talk trash all season long. Very unlikely to happen, but the Jets' season will come down to overcoming Sanchez's crapiness. Which their defense might be able to do.

[jeff061]

Been a long time since I've been this hyped about a Pats game that didn't involve the Colts. Can't wait.

[stevew]

I hope the Pats hang 50 on the Jets.

[Mizzou B-ball fan]

Officially authorized Lathum bump.

[Chubby]

Lathum said Eli is going to throw for 600 yards and 8 tds today

[Shkspr]

Lathum said Eli is going to throw for 600 yards and 8 tds today

Yeah, but in which half?

[spleen1015]

I bet Bradshaw and Jacobs score TDs... on the same fucking play!

[ColtCrazy]

Looking forward to going to the Colts/Giants game tonight. Should be a good game. Everyone was all about Foster last week, but the Colts played horribly (un-Colt like penalties, dropped passes, defense an amazing no show in the 2nd half) and I'm expecting a lot better tonight.

Forget I said that if Bradshaw/Jacobs combine for 200 yards. But I don't see it. The Colts are basically the same team as 2009, especially now that Sanders is out..again.

I'm also with AB that I'm kind of a closet Lions fan as well. I like what they did in the draft, and I think they'll be an interesting team to watch. It's just a shame about Stafford. That poor franchise can't catch a break.

[Apathetic Lurker]

Yeah, but in which half?


Shouldn't that be which quarter?

[larrymcg421]

OMG but how can Sanchez be crappy? He totally "led" the Jets to the conference championship. Who cares that they had the #1 defense and #1 rushing offense? Wins and losses on a football field are solely due to the QB.

[SnowMan]

I'm curious to see if PC can actually have Seattle playing on the road. Actually playing, and not just getting bulldozed for the first time in years.

[sovereignstar]

Sweet, no announcers for the Vikes-Dolphins game. lol

[Coffee Warlord]

Only took 2 plays for Cutler to get sacked this week!

[stevew]

Worst start possible for Titans? KR td and then the Titties fumble the kickoff

Fight!

[Galaril]

Yeah bench clearing brawl! yes.

[stevew]

Sigh

Need a line.

[spleen1015]

Looks like Favre has some confidence in Harvin this week.

[JS19]

Damn.. Cutler is taking quite the beating.

[Coffee Warlord]

Jeeessus the Bears o-line sucks.

[spleen1015]

Man, Cutler doesn't stand a chance.

[EagleFan]

Crud, he is making it rough to not cheer for him ON THE FIELD. I am so torn...

[Neuqua]

Cutler's taking an absolute beating, I don't see how he survives the half.

[spleen1015]

rofl

[Coffee Warlord]

Bears need to sign a few more QB's before the end of the half. 8 of them will probably suffice.

[Galaril]

Sigh

Need a line.

Yeah if the Titans can get pressure on Dixon it could be a long day for the Squealers.

[Galaril]

Three n' out.

[Suicane75]

Lions just went 60+ yards on 6 straight runs to tie it at 7. That was a sick drive.

[Vince, Pt. II]

Cutler is going to die before the end of the half.

[Galaril]

Shit VY throws to Polamalu in the end zone. Geez, I never can figure that teams offense play calling.

[Vince, Pt. II]

Lions just went 60+ yards on 6 straight runs to tie it at 7. That was a sick drive.

Does Best look great, or is it all the line? I haven't been able to see him run yet.

[Suicane75]

It's a combination. Big holes but he is friggin explosive when he gets an inch of daylight.

[Coffee Warlord]

Cutler is going to die before the end of the half.

Sad thing is, they're doubling the edge rushers, and STILL failing miserably.

And how quaint. TD punt return for the Cowgirls.

[Lathum]

Great job by the bears special teams to get cutler right back out on the field.

[Suicane75]

Jason Peters just went down for the birds. Don't know the severity but that does not bode well for our O-Line.

[Vince, Pt. II]

Sad thing is, they're doubling the edge rushers, and STILL failing miserably.

And how quaint. TD punt return for the Cowgirls.

I think that was a pretty terrible job by the Bears' punter. All he had to do was stand near the sideline and slow him down, and he let himself get juked out of his shorts.

[Dr. Sak]

Jason Peters just went down for the birds. Don't know the severity but that does not bode well for our O-Line.

He's back in.

[Coffee Warlord]

I think that was a pretty terrible job by the Bears' punter. All he had to do was stand near the sideline and slow him down, and he let himself get juked out of his shorts.

Hey, it's Brad Maynard. He's about 800 years old. :)

TD bears, who go to the 0 step drop, quite effectively.

[Neuqua]

Cutler did a great job figuring out the Dallas D on that drive. He unloaded the ball within seconds.

[Suicane75]

Jesus. Challenged catch in the Eagles in game and we get a friggin 20 minute zapruder film esque discussion about the rules, including an interview with a former official. I feel like i'm watching Court TV.

[spleen1015]

And they made thew wrong call, IMO.

[Vince, Pt. II]

Hey, it's Brad Maynard. He's about 800 years old. :)

TD bears, who go to the 0 step drop, quite effectively.

Haha. Yeah, it's tough to get on a punter for getting juked by a young 1st round pick, but still...use the sideline!

That drive by the Bears was amazing. If Martz and Cutler can adapt like that on a regular basis, they'll be much better this year than many gave them credit for.

[Suicane75]

I was fine with it either way but god damn man, I wanna watch football.

Peters comes back in only to get clipped and hurt again. FFS.

[GrantDawg]

Falcon Defense gives up the home-run. Sigh.

[Pumpy Tudors]

LOL, FOF legend Charlie Batch enters the game and instantly fumbles his first snap.

[Bearcat729]

I'd like to thank the Chiefs for not using Jammal Charles. While it may not help my fantasy team it does help the Browns stay in the game despite the poor offense they run.

[Galaril]

Dixon out possible knee injury from what they are working on. Batch in for Pitt. Good news for Tennessee since Dixon was using our aggressiveness on the pass rush against us but Batch is more of a sitting duck compered to Dixon.

[GrantDawg]

LOL, FOF legend Charlie Batch enters the game and instantly fumbles his first snap.


Ah, leave him in. He has really high potential bars.

[stevew]

Once I figured out how to reduce the amount of head, the Miller Light Home Draft is really good. A touch pricy, basically you get draft beers for 1.66 a piece

[Coffee Warlord]

Gah. Martz breaks out the Ron Turner playbook. THE WR SCREEN DOES NOT WORK.

[Coffee Warlord]

The bigass bomb to Knox, however, does. Whoo.

[Vince, Pt. II]

Hester with an insane catch. Bears looking good in the early going.

[Neuqua]

I really wish I could see what the Bears could do with a halfway decent OL. Cutler's made some beautiful throws this half. Say what you will, dude is a tough SOB.

[Thomkal]

oh man an 85 yard run by Johnson called back on a penalty. Ugh

[Thomkal]

My beloved Cards down 24-7 to Atlanta. :( Anybody watching that game tell me what's going on there?

[Suicane75]

Best with a 75 yard screen for a TD. Dude has got a major league motor.

[GrantDawg]

My beloved Cards down 24-7 to Atlanta. :( Anybody watching that game tell me what's going on there?


Penalty after penalty after penalty. Hightower scored on a 80 yard run, but have had nothing offensively other than that. The good news for you? Norwood went out after the kickoff, and Turner just went off with a groin (questionable, which means he is out the next 5-6 games), so the Falcons only have one rb left. Once Snelling gets tired, you might have a shot to get the ball back (that is if Cromartie doesn't add two or three more PI calss to the two he already has).

[Vince, Pt. II]

What the hell is going on with Dallas? I don't think they're that good, but I really don't think they're this bad.

[Coffee Warlord]

DJ Moore has karma going his way today. 2nd pick off a ball that just got tipped into his hands.

[Vince, Pt. II]

Cutler looking amazing so far, even with a horrible OL performance. Though they've looked way better the last few drives.

[sabotai]

Geez Lions defense, thanks for carrying Vick over the first down marker...

[Thomkal]

And now Pitt has a TD called back because of holding

[MrBug708]

Cutler must have saw a fan open on that pass

[Raiders Army]

Every time someone gets hurt in the Eagles/Lions game, I'm thinking that Andy Reid is wondering if he has enough time to get some nachos.

[Galaril]

And now Pitt has a TD called back because of holding

Good since Johnson's knee was down on that supposed fumble.

[Suicane75]

Huge drive by the Eagles to quell Detroits momentum and get back into the game.

17-14 Lions but Vick has thrown some worrisome missles that are missing their targets by a good amount and he's been lucky not to have a pick so far.

[Thomkal]

Penalty after penalty after penalty. Hightower scored on a 80 yard run, but have had nothing offensively other than that. The good news for you?

Once Snelling gets tired, you might have a shot to get the ball back (that is if Cromartie doesn't add two or three more PI calss to the two he already has).

Thanks Grant. Wow that's pretty brutal for Atlanta if they lose both Turner and Norwood. And I'm not surprised to hear Cromartie has two PI calls-I've never been a big a fan of his as some seem to be. How's Derek Anderson looking?

[Swaggs]

So, what QBs are out in the free agency pool? If Leftwich isn't ready to go next week, we may need two new ones.

[GrantDawg]

Huge drive by the Eagles to quell Detroits momentum and get back into the game.

17-14 Lions but Vick has thrown some worrisome missles that are missing their targets by a good amount and he's been lucky not to have a pick so far.


So, Vick is reverting back to his old style "hard and everywhere" throwing?

[Thomkal]

Good since Johnson's knee was down on that supposed fumble.

It was hard to get a really good look at it on the replay, which is why I think the call was upheld.

[GrantDawg]

Thanks Grant. Wow that's pretty brutal for Atlanta if they lose both Turner and Norwood. And I'm not surprised to hear Cromartie has two PI calls-I've never been a big a fan of his as some seem to be. How's Derek Anderson looking?


Ok. The rookie reciever is killing him (Williams). Broke off a route to allow an interception, and let another bounce off his hands that nearly was. He hasn't been ugly, nothing amazing either.

[Galaril]

It was hard to get a really good look at it on the replay, which is why I think the call was upheld.

That is a good point.

[miami_fan]

This Wake kid from the CFL is pretty good. Dolphins still need to take advantage of their offensive opportunities.

[spleen1015]

Heheh. Fuck you Brett Favre.

[Suicane75]

So, Vick is reverting back to his old style "hard and everywhere" throwing?

Yeah. Just anecdotal observance but his arm looks so friggin strong that he doesn't need to fire it as hard as he does. He just hit a 50 yard pass to Jackson that looked like a flick and flew an easy 40 yards.

[Raiders Army]

Vick throws for a TD.

[Suicane75]

Vick brings the Eagles back to retake the lead, very impressive. This team is so fluent offensively when they're on.

I honestly thought Gunther Cunningham had passed away, let alone still coaching.

[sabotai]

Vick brings the Eagles back to retake the lead, very impressive. This team is so fluent offensively when they're on.

Especially when the refs allow the Eagles receivers to push off the defenders. ;)

[Raiders Army]

I read an article about how Cunningham took this guy with zero NFL experience in as an intern and now he's a DB coach with the Lions.

[miami_fan]

WTF Dolphins? You were getting good pressure without blitzing.

[spleen1015]

Don't worry! Favre will save you Miami!

[GrantDawg]

And Williams (Arizona) bounces another off his hands and Moore intercepts.

[GrantDawg]

And Old Man Brian Finneran gets a Touchdown! Grandpa's rejoice!

[Thomkal]

And Williams (Arizona) bounces another off his hands and Moore intercepts.

*sigh* Early Doucet is out with an injury or else Williams wouldn't be playing. I can only hope Doucet comes back next week.

[Galaril]

The Titans CJ is injured. Fisher is a fucking moron. I saw the Oilers do the same thing with Earl Campbell they ran the guy so much in his first 3 years he was done by year 4. The Titans are doing the same thing with CJ. The Steelers are laying some serious wood on him. They had the kid from Oregon that punched the guy LaGaerette Blount and he was looking great as a big brusier and they cut him. Dumb asses.

[Chubby]

thank goodness I picked up Vick this morning instead of going with Favre or Palmer...

[Swaggs]

Titans-Steelers is a hell of a physical game. There are going to be some guys that have trouble getting out of bed tomorrow.

[Galaril]

Titans-Steelers is a hell of a physical game. There are going to be some guys that have trouble getting out of bed tomorrow.

I am sore just watching:)

[GrantDawg]

I hate no-back formations.

[Coffee Warlord]

Ping: Charles Tillman. Kindly stop falling down. Thanks.

[miami_fan]

I thought Chilly told AP to go down at first contact so he won't fumble. Damn he is running hard.

[GrantDawg]

Ok, you are up 31-7, you got a 4th and one on your 20. Going for seems a little rubbing it in, no?

[Thomkal]

another turnover for the Titans and Kerry Collins is warming up....

[Thomkal]

Ok, you are up 31-7, you got a 4th and one on your 20. Going for seems a little rubbing it in, no?

Yeah sure does. Did they get it?

[Thomkal]

Man lots of injuries in the Titans Steelers game

[Suicane75]

What an atrocious spot on a 4th and 1 in the Vikings game. Peterson didn't get within a yard of where the ball was spotted.

[Lathum]

Dallas continues to take stupid, undisciplined penalties.

[Coffee Warlord]

To be fair, that was a weak ass roughing call.

[GrantDawg]

Yeah sure does. Did they get it?


Yeah, but then went three quick downs and kicked the FG.

[sabotai]

Sooooo happy CC Brown is no longer on the Giants.

[GrantDawg]

Anderson just got hit hard, and might be going out. He is definitely hurting.

[Lathum]

To be fair, that was a weak ass roughing call.

anytime you drive the QB into the ground they are going to flag you for it.

[Lathum]

Sooooo happy CC Brown is no longer on the Giants.

Don't be a hater like the media...

[Coffee Warlord]

Leading rushers Chicago-Dallas, going into the 4th quarter.

CHI: Forte, 27 yards
DAL: Barber, 34 yards.

[stevew]

This Steelers game lacks excitement.

[Galaril]

This Steelers game lacks excitement.

Yes, I agree.

[Swaggs]

Did they just say that Kerry Collins is has the 12th most passing yards in NFL history?

[Thomkal]

And Kerry Collins throws a INT...

[Thomkal]

Anderson just got hit hard, and might be going out. He is definitely hurting.

Great bring on rookie Max Hall I guess. *sigh*

[GrantDawg]

Did they just say that Kerry Collins is has the 12th most passing yards in NFL history?


This is his 42nd year in the league, right? Didn't he play with Ahmad Rashaad?

[Galaril]

Wow! Kerry Collins is in oh boy melt down time for Young I am sure. I have seen all I want out of him.

[miami_fan]

Are you fucking kidding me?!

[Swaggs]

Damn... I guess Kerry Collins really does have the 12th most yards all time.

Hard to believe.

In all fairness to Collins the receiver cut his route on that one. This is the worst the Titans have looked since that 59-0 ass whipping the New England laid on us last year.

[miami_fan]

Now what the hell do you do Sparano? Williams fumbled, Brown fumbled. Give the ball to Polite I guess.

[miami_fan]

I'll take it

[GrantDawg]

Anderson does come back out. Looks like it might have been a rib injury. Probably bruised.

[GrantDawg]

Wow. Brett Farve losing it fast? The team wouldn't even attempt a throw on a go-ahead drive?

[Thomkal]

I see Clausen is in for Matt Moore and is already 6 for 10, matching Matt Moore's 6 completions on the day.

[sovereignstar]

Wow. Brett Farve losing it fast? The team wouldn't even attempt a throw on a go-ahead drive?

One last drive. I like the odds of a 4th INT. :redface:

[henry296]

This Steelers game lacks excitement.

The Steelers play calling is so predictible, but I guess that is what you get with a 4th string QB in the game. I think the Titans have all 11 men in the box.

ill take that bet... on the INT that is :)

NFL Films should brun the film cannisters of this one right after the game in order to leave no evidence of this. God one of the worst most unappetizing games again st good teams I have seen in a long time.

[sovereignstar]

Be nice to have one Vincent Jackson for this last minute drive...

[Coffee Warlord]

Gasp! A goal line play for the Bears!

[GrantDawg]

Steeler fans can't complain, though. They are 2-0 without there top two QB's. Ugly win=win.

[whomario]

nice play to negate the rush by the bears, can´t pass it off any quicker i guess :)

[JS19]

Roy Williams... greatest acquisition EVER!!!!

[GrantDawg]

Jason Snelling: 190 yards of offense and three tds. Number of fantasy teams starting him? 0.

Hehe. Max Hall is coming in now, btw.

[GrantDawg]

Hehe. Max Hall is coming in now, btw.


And his second pass? Pick.

[Bearcat729]

Is the Bengals defense really this good?

[spleen1015]

Is the Bengals defense really this good?

Weren't they this good last year?

[Greyroofoo]

LOL @ Polumalu (sp?) diving over the OL at the snap to get the Qb

[Thomkal]

Ah Wade Phillips is that the Unemployment Office I hear calling?

[Thomkal]

And his second pass? Pick.

*sigh* Too bad Coach Whiz never really wanted Matt Leinart

[Lathum]

Wow, Titans recover the onsides kick. Love it when a guy on the hands team gets hit right in the hands with the ball and cant catch it.

[Galaril]

Titans down to the 30 yard line.

[Swaggs]

Wonder if Polamalu has one more big play left...

[Swaggs]

Yeesh. That was close.

[Mizzou B-ball fan]

Kansas City Chiefs.

1st place in the AFC West.

Undefeated.

It's a great day.

[Galaril]

geez throw into double coverage. That was almost interference.

[MJ4H]

Chiefs 2-0! Lolboys, not so much.

[Galaril]

Titans are done. Even if they score they need to the 2 point play and then OT.

[Swaggs]

Smart job catching that ball, Chris Johnson.

[Galaril]

CJ is all talk period.

[M GO BLUE!!!]

I got both the Lions on (computer) and had the bonus coverage of the Steelers. They cut away with about 13 seconds left, with the Titans right there. Grrr... What did I miss?

Oh, and I noticed that when Best ran into the end zone, when he went to the ground the ball came out when he landed on his arm. Doesn't that mean he never had a control of the handoff? From what I remember last week, that's not a touchdown.

[Galaril]

Congrat Swaggs, and the other Steelers fans you really shut down the b ig mouth Titans. It is too bad they don't play better than they talk unlike the Steelers who continue to be my old arch nemesis going on 32 years.

[DaddyTorgo]

ooooh...Moss just BARELY bobbled that bomb.

Pats had a 40yd run by Taylor nullified by illegal formation, but looking fine so far.

[Suburban Rhythm]

Too lazy to go back to either the preseason or week 1 thread, but who was it that had the bet with his boss about the Steelers starting 3-1?

[Pumpy Tudors]

Ouch that is going to sting. I think Stevew?

[wade moore]

I heart Steve Slaton.

[GrantDawg]

For Micheal Turner fantasy owners: Early report is the injury was not significant. Coach Smith said he was cleared to play, but they chose not to put him back in.

[DaddyTorgo]

Ugh. Missed FG after a delay of game penalty nullified a made-FG.

Offense moved the ball at will on the Jets though, so feeling okay so far. They just ended up a yard short of the first down at the 14yd line.

Time for the defense.

[Swaggs]

Congrat Swaggs, and the other Steelers fans you really shut down the b ig mouth Titans. It is too bad they don't play better than they talk unlike the Steelers who continue to be my old arch nemesis going on 32 years.

Thanks.

Not sure either team can take much away from this one. Obviously, the Steelers were without Ben and Dixon (for the most part), so it is hard to judge their offense, long term. The Titans aren't going to turn the ball over 7-times too often and they still only lost by 8.

[wade moore]

OH MY GOD CARLOS ROGERS CAUGHT A BALL.

[DaddyTorgo]

1st pass by Sanchez...INTERCEPTED BY PATRICK CHUNG!!!

Rexie may throw the flag, but the ref had a good view...i dunno.

[fpres]

Ugh. Schaub needs to get it together if the Texans are to have any chance today.

[DaddyTorgo]

dola

if that wasn't a pick then Sanchez owes the turf bigtime, because the only question is if it hit the ground or not

[Lathum]

No way that was a pick in the Jets game

[DaddyTorgo]

bah.

hit the ground. damnit.

Sancheezy gets lucky this time.

[sabotai]

The Lions looked like they might pull off a great comeback, but Hill is forcing long passes after they recovered the onside kick and is blowing it for them (still over a minute left at midfield. No need to throw bombs)

[DaddyTorgo]

3-and-out for the Jets

[Big Fo]

I am so conflicted while watching this game. I hate the Jets and the Patriots. I'd love to see the Jets start 0-2 with all their bragging and all the media hype they received before the season. But the Patriots are the favorites for the division and them losing would probably be better for Miami.

[DaddyTorgo]

damnit - i was rooting for the Lions.

[sabotai]

Another incomplete pass and the game is over.

[Swaggs]

Too lazy to go back to either the preseason or week 1 thread, but who was it that had the bet with his boss about the Steelers starting 3-1?

I remember that, too. I don't think it was a Steeler fan from the board, though. I think it was someone from here who made a bet with their Steelers' homer boss.

Other than the Hampton and Starks injuries, you have to think things have gone about as well as they possibly could have. Being up on the Ravens and Bengals by a game after week 2, w/o Ben, feels pretty lucky. We have @ Tampa and Baltimore left, but 3-1 seems quite possible.


I'd even throw in the fact that Leftwich's injury and Dixon's inconsistency (plus injury) leaves absolutely no doubt that Roethlisberger will be the starter when he returns. That may sound like a reach, but if either of the two got off to a 4-0 start, there could have been a little question about it when Ben comes back (or if he struggles for a game or two). Now, there is a possibility of ending up 3-1 or 4-0 without Tomlin or the team having to deal with a potential QB controversy.

[henry296]

Thanks.

I'm not sure many team wins when their 4th string QB plays 3 quarters, so I'll take it.

[DaddyTorgo]

Aaron Hernandez for 18 on 3rd-and-8!!

He's awesome. I love him in Madden too...I split him out as a wideout all the time and let him run over DB's.

[DaddyTorgo]

Fucking dirtbag Eric Smith.

Blow to the head of the defenseless Welker. Gives the Pats a firstdown. Just hope Welker is okay and that asshole gets a fucking fine.

That's a fucking dirty play.

[Glengoyne]

Anybody see Ryan Mathews' fumble? I saw it and thought 'oh he was lucky to hold onto that'. I walked away and it was apparently ruled a fumble.

[Suburban Rhythm]

Hmmm I could be wrong, but I thought the poster felt they could go 3-1 and his boss didn't.

Not realistic for the D to continue like this, but with Ben they are converting TDs and not FGs. And ravens new improved offense hasn't shown much yet.

[Schmidty]

Damned Lions. Getting me all excited, disappointed, excited again, and disappointed in the end. Two weeks in a row. :mad:

[DaddyTorgo]

Hmm...in fairness - it sounds from Jim Nance like Eric Smith came over to apologize to Welker for his hit.

So maybe he's not such a fuckwad.

Well either to apologize or to talk shit. No way of knowing at the moment.

[k0ruptr]

I think he apologized.

[Glengoyne]

No redemption for Ryan Mathews today. Rough looking injury right after the fumble.

[SirFozzie]

24 plays to 3. Sheesh. The Jets better get a couple first downs on the next drive just to give their D a rest.

[k0ruptr]

These TE's for the Pats are much better then what they used to have, Gronkowski and Hernandez are ballers.

[DaddyTorgo]

I think he apologized.

i'd assume so too, otherwise there'd be a flag for taunting i'm sure

AARON HERNANDEZ with another huge catch for the Pats!!

[DaddyTorgo]

These TE's for the Pats are much better then what they used to have, Gronkowski and Hernandez are ballers.

I understand Gronk fell because of perceived injury with his back or whatever, but how did Hernandez fall?

These guys are both so versatile...they can be used as traditional TE's and as huge weapons in the passing game...not sure how every other team passed on them for so long!! They create huge matchup problems for defensive packages.

WES WELKER FOR THE TD!!

[k0ruptr]

I was always a fan of Chris Baker, but I just don't think the utilized him enough

[Izulde]

2-0 Dolphins start sure does a lot to make up for the UNLV cornholing last night. :)

[jeff061]

Think Hernandez had attitude problems or a drug test failure? Something like that.

[Izulde]

WES WELKER FOR THE TD!!

My fantasy team needs the Brady to Welker points. Thanks! I may hope yet.

[Ronnie Dobbs2]

Hernandez was on the pot.

[k0ruptr]

yep, big deal. No wonder the pats took him, Moss needed a burning buddy.

[Lathum]

No redemption for Ryan Mathews today. Rough looking injury right after the fumble.

any word on if he will be back?

[DaddyTorgo]

oh that's right. feel like i knew that.

name me someone at UF who didn't smoke up? aside from choir-boy tebow i mean.

gerard warren with the sack!!

[DaddyTorgo]

couple first downs for the jets on this drive

[DaddyTorgo]

that's not a late hit...that's bullshit.

he didn't even hit the guy...he just touched shoulders.

okay wait...on replay...that was. bad boy tully.

bad field position for it too...that's going to cost your team points probably.

[DaddyTorgo]

sancheezy with the favre-flip to LT.

[DaddyTorgo]

TD Jets.

*barf*

Thanks Tully. Go fuck yourself.

[SirFozzie]

Props to the Jets. Another three and out and I think the D would have murdered Sanchez on the way back to the sideline

[DaddyTorgo]

LOL - taunting on the Jets.

Are they trying to be the Bad-Boy-Pistons of the NFL or something??

[Lathum]

This is the craziest shit in the Chargers-Jags game, trading INTs

[DaddyTorgo]

UGH...YOU CAN'T TOUCH HIM IF HE SIGNALS FAIR CATCH ARRINGTON YOU FUCKWAD.

Woulda had them pinned at the 6. Ugh. Now they're at the 21.

[SirFozzie]

Stupid, STUPID penalties by the Pats. Unlike a Bill Belichick team

[DaddyTorgo]

Stupid, STUPID penalties by the Pats. Unlike a Bill Belichick team

Seriously. That's been the story of the game so far. Stupid Pats penalties.

[DaddyTorgo]

stupid jets. coulda pinned them at the 6 inch line and it ends up a touchback.

[DaddyTorgo]

Aaron Hernandez...46yds!!! Bringing the Pats down and giving them a chance for points.

RANDY MOSS ONE HAND OVER REVIS ISLAND!!!

TD PATS!!!!

[Lathum]

Holy shit, what a catch by Moss...

[k0ruptr]

Randy Moss - That was sick.

[jeff061]

How the hell did Moss catch that. It's not like it was lobbed in there. He plucked a rocket.

[Lathum]

Lets see Jerry Rice do that

[DaddyTorgo]

ya know - i just said to Fozzie - I understand Moss is older than maybe you want in a WR, but he has such a unique skill-set, such great hands, and still has the wheels...can the Pats please give him his fucking new contract?

He's such a joy to watch. Amazing.

That's two deep balls to him, the first he just barely bobbled or it woulda been 6 also.

[SirFozzie]

My reactions in about 30 seconds..

"Damn, third and ten, they're going to take a TO if we run it, they're gonna have a chance to.. NICE CATCH.. Go.. GO! Alright now we got a chance at a FG at least..

Then

Oh he's there! ARGGH OVERTHR.. HE CAUGHT IT! ARE YOU SERIOUS? ARE YOU SERIOUS"

These bootlegger reverses of emotion are fun :)

[DaddyTorgo]

yeah - kudos to Aaron Hernandez too...he got them into position to make that possible with that catch-n-run

[jeff061]

Hernandez looks like the TE form of Barry Sanders out there :D.

[DaddyTorgo]

ugh...defense is gonna give up a FG at the end of the half here.

fuck.

[k0ruptr]

Hernandez is gonna jump 30% in Fantasy leagues this week

[Lathum]

Revis comes up lame at the end of the half and goes to the locker room early.

[DaddyTorgo]

ugh. stupid defense.

[DaddyTorgo]

so wait - Vince Young wasn't injured? I thought he was injured and that's why he came out. Damn.

[Suburban Rhythm]

so wait - Vince Young wasn't injured? I thought he was injured and that's why he came out. Damn.

His feelings were hurt, if that counts.

[DaddyTorgo]

SANCHEEZY GETS CRUNCHED FROM BEHIND!!

[DaddyTorgo]

His feelings were hurt, if that counts.

LOL. I was at my dad's birthday party - my brother said the RedZone guy said that - either he made that up or he misheard.

I'm pissed that Suh didn't kill Mike Vick.:(
