NFL 2012 - Eli has two rings edition

[speedracer]

I'm sure the Patriots were overdue for a game like this, but WTF Gostkowski.

 

[Headache in a Suitcase]

I suppose the only way to throw for 500 yards is to be terrible in the first half.

I bELIeve in Eli Dent.

 

[LuckyNumber7]

That was a bit of bullshit at the end of the Bucs-Giants game.

That was a catch, hit, and fumble. Watching it in slow motion made it look much more like a dropped pass because of the emphasis on the second half of the play. Watching it in real time... that was a catch.

Doesn't really matter though, Josh Freeman really knows how to throw interceptions. The dude is a real fool sometimes.

On another note, like I said last week... the Dolphins aren't nearly as bad as the Texans made them look (nor as they nearly as good as the Raiders made them look).

Might as well get this type of game out of the way now.

 

[Headache in a Suitcase]

I know he's played two god awful defenses thus far, but RG3 looks incredibly impressive

It's one of those strange gray area calls... if he dragged two toes in but then lost the ball going out of bounds, everybody would think it was an incomplete pass.

He gets two steps and doesn't hold on going out of bounds, everybody thinks its a catch.

I thought it was a catch as well, but the NFL should clarify the rule.

And bring back the real refs

 

[GirlsAloudFan]

Yeah, the refs in the Ravens/Eagles game were embarrassingly bad. Bunch of fuckin amateurs.

I enjoyed the game, though. And I like LeSean McCoy.

 

[LuckyNumber7]

The only thing I'm thinking through that play is... I've seen that be called a fumble before. I understand how it could go both ways... I just don't understand how you reverse the call.

The refs have been pretty poor though, naturally. I wasn't too fond of that hit on Vincent Jackson. Say what you'd like, but even if you don't agree with the rule it should be called consistently. That was a nasty hit on a defenseless receiver.

 

[Headache in a Suitcase]

It takes one incredible douche to make Michael Vick the second least likable player on the Eagles.. DeSean Jackson? I tip my hat to you, you insufferable ass hat.

 

[Headache in a Suitcase]

Will be interesting to see how RG3 plays after a failure... as he's had nothing but great things up until that throw.

 

[Hewson]

On another note, like I said last week... the Dolphins aren't nearly as bad as the Texans made them look (nor as they nearly as good as the Raiders made them look).

Hard Knocks can be deceiveing...they played well today. What we can take from nearly 2 weeks thus far is Houston is the team to beat in the AFC if they stay healthy.

 

[Hewson]

I'm sure the Patriots were overdue for a game like this, but WTF Gostkowski.

More like WTF Belichick/McDaniel for going into a shell with 46 seconds left at the AZ 23....that was incomprehensible.

 

[Headache in a Suitcase]

Nice TO shanahan

BTW sky sports coverage is quite funny

 

[speedracer]

More like WTF Belichick/McDaniel for going into a shell with 46 seconds left at the AZ 23....that was incomprehensible.

I actually didn't think it was terrible. Pats had no timeouts and there was the possibility of being tackled inbounds. Plus the replacement refs might have spotted the ball slowly, called a bogus false start/illegal procedure penalty resulting in a runoff, etc.

 

[speedracer]

Hey Shanny, when you ice the kicker, do it before the kick so he doesn't get a practice shot.

 

[LuckyNumber7]

Hey Shanny, when you ice the kicker, do it before the kick so he doesn't get a practice shot.

But when he makes it you've got to think that there's statistically less of a chance of him making it again

I hate rooting for a team with so many assholes on it.

 

[Imperor]

Got some vintage Cowboys football here, guys. Fun stuff.

 

[trojanchick99]

After yesterday's disaster, seeing Dallas losing to Pete Carroll made me happy.

 

[speedracer]

Josh Morgan's going to be unemployed by midnight.

 

[LemonMelon]

What a deflating loss. Oh well, I picked 8-8 for us this season and our offense finally looks legit. Next week is our home opener and should be great.

The embarrassing Patriots and Cowboys losses distract from ours anyway.

 

[Headache in a Suitcase]

Greg schiano almost got cold cocked by a 93 year old man.

 

[trojanchick99]

Wow, Jim Harbaugh has done a great job with Alex Smith. He is turning into a very good QB. The Niners are really impressing me with their tackling and blocking as well.

 

[Headache in a Suitcase]

It's incredibly too early, and we all know Frank Gore is an injury waiting to happen, but San Fran looks very good.

 

[LuckyNumber7]

Well I hope not. I bought really big into both Frank Gore and Vernon Davis this season for Fantasy Football

 

[LUNEDEMINUIT]

This is going to be a lonnnnnnnng season for the Saints.

No Bounty system,no Defence.

 

[Danny Boy]

This is going to be a lonnnnnnnng season for the Saints.

No Bounty system,no Defence.

The offense isn't exactly firing on all cylinder with Sean Payton gone, either.

 

[LemonMelon]

Really makes our week 1 win look far less impressive, especially in light of that embarrassing, sloppy performance yesterday.

But, again, there was hardly any consistency from week 1 to 2 for most teams, so I'm not too worried about it. Pats looked like shit, Packers looked great while the Bears' offense completely disappeared, Cowboys looked like shit, Jets looked like shit and so on. Lots of football left to play.

 

[Hewson]

Its early but this season has the makings of the good old "parity" days of the NFL and we could have 20 or more teams finish at either 7-9, 8-8 or 9-7.


And right now (again quite early) looks like a Texans/49ers Super Bowl is on tap.

 

[Hewson]

Well I hope not. I bought really big into both Frank Gore and Vernon Davis this season for Fantasy Football

Davis paid off handsomely last night.
