Week 1 in the NFL

[tucker rocky]

Ok, ok this'll be the thread for ALL the games. :)

I was only trying to get a reaction, I would've deleted them anyway.
Post count was not the reason.

[Dutch]

You have got to be kidding me.

[tucker rocky]

What's wrong now? :confused:

[Ben E Lou]

I was only trying to get a reaction, I would've deleted them anyway.Well, well, well. I *almost* suspended you right then and there. Now that you've admitted that you only did it to troll, you won't be posting this Sunday OR next Sunday.

[Cuckoo]

Come on, I had my prediction post in that Dallas/Minnesota thread. I'm assuming it's now gone.

:(

[Danny]

Ill add my go Raiders comment here. Go Raiders!!!

[TLK]

This is going to sound stupid.... but I had a hard time sleeping last night. Go Lions.... let's win one on the road....

[korme]

so tucker rocky got suspended for a long time for doing what?

[Dutch]

Yeah, I kind of thought Tucker Rocky deleted all the posts. But no biggie, it's Kickoff Time!!!!

[sachmo71]

FOOTBALL!

[jetpunk2000]

Kickoff time. Time to be excited for 5 minutes until something Jet-like happens.

[jetpunk2000]

Shocking. Fumble o the kickoff. Ugh

[jetpunk2000]

7-0 Bengals. Nothing ever changes.

[mckerney]

Looks like Portis is fitting in well in Washington. 1 carry, 64 yards, 1 TD.

[korme]

HELL YES BENGALS. Jon Carter messes up big and Rudi runs it in!

[JAG]

MikeVic is gonna kill my fantasy team this week...

[Dutch]

Damn, Damn, Damn! F****** counter trey is already haunting me again! Aaargh!!!!

[Dutch]

One of the longest kick returns in Buccaneer history!!! Oh wait....holding, receiving team.....AAARRRGGGHHHH!!!!

[stevew]

Instant replay is very annoying. You gotta trust the refs calls on the field. I think the only reviewable thing should be the sidelines. All the "down by contact" and "was it a fumble" stuff is highly annoying.

[stevew]

Jerome Bettis is gonna destroy any fantasy value that Duce Staley may have.

[korme]

Shaun Ellis fuckin bullshit! He runs offsides real bad so Willie Anderson like tackles him so he doesn't hit Palmer. Palmer hits CJ 43 yards down field, but Willie gets holding on the play so the penalties offset and we redo 3rd down. Fuck that. If Ellis had not jumped early, we would be in Jet territory again. (Willie Anderson had last gotten called for holding in 2002).

That was a crap call. But I'll take it. :p

[Joe]

did the cowboys lose yet?

[korme]

Madieu Williams isgetting relentlessly burned by Santana Moss. Where is Deltha!?

14-7 Jets.

[jetpunk2000]

Madieu Williams isgetting relentlessly burned by Santana Moss. Where is Deltha!?

14-7 Jets.
Make that Jonathan Carter.

[korme]

Jon Carter is real fast, it was actually him.

[stevew]

I just realized that this is the First Steelers game I've watched in the Pittsburgh area since NBC lost football. So odd not to turn on channell 11 and see the game

[jetpunk2000]

This Jets secondary is scaring the hell out of me.

[Neuqua]

Grossman and Terrell had a very good first quarter together.

[stevew]

Plexico Burress still hasnt figured out how to catch the ball. Oh well, he will be someone else's problem next year.

[korme]

Palmer is looking very impressive. 3 incompletions, 2 to avoid sacks, 1 just no one was open and threw to Kelley Washington in double coverage, but put it right where Washington could only get it, but I guess all those arms in his face prevented him from bringing it in.

[Neuqua]

And on Grossman's first pass of the 2nd quarter, he gets picked off. Nice!

[korme]

This Jets secondary is scaring the hell out of me.
You've got to realize the Bengals receiving corps is deep, lead by one of the biggest budding stars in the game. OTOH, this entire Bengals defense is scaring me, reminding me of last year. I just hope this bull changes when we get Brian Simmons back.

[jetpunk2000]

On the same line of thinking, the Jet offense is pretty solid. Though their (the Bengals) run defense looks pretty bad.

[TLK]

Cleveland is going to block a punt before today is over.....

[stevew]

Whomever the Raiders coach is, sure likes the challenge. What a cockmaster.

[Passacaglia]

Oh, give me a break. Like you need Bettis to run through that wide open hole. Even though Staley is only on my fantasy bench, I still want him to score!

[Passacaglia]

Wow. Gannon gets out of the pocket, somehow gets time to pump fake, then throws it to a wide open Steeler. Geez.

[stevew]

Time to dump Staley. He will get no shots at a touchdown run unless he carries it in from the 10 out or further.

[Passacaglia]

Does your league count catches as points? Maddox seems to pass to him a lot.

[stevew]

Oh, i cant play fantasy football anymore. Too stressful for me.

[Schmidty]

Charles Rogers already out for the year with a broken earlobe.

I hate being a Lion fan. :mad:

[Neuqua]

What a catch by Roy.

[TLK]

Charles Rogers already out for the year with a broken earlobe.

I hate being a Lion fan. :mad:
We Have ROY!!!!

[sabotai]

Gannon is having a horrible game so far.

[korme]

wtf i hjate this shit

[TargetPractice6]

Fucking officials giving a Bengal's fumble recovery to the Jets. Bullshit.

[DeToxRox]

roy williams might've just had the nab of the year

[stevew]

Gannon is having a horrible game so far.
If you like the Steelers he isnt.

[stevew]

With the weakness of the steelers secondary, Gannon could still have a banner day.

[TLK]

Is Jerry Porter even playing in the OAK/PIT game?

[Troll]

Even though they are down right now, I like the way the Raiders look. 2 turnovers(1 fumble, 1 throwaway he didn't quite get away) by Gannon, but other than that he has looked really decent. I like the D too, I'm not saying they are the greatest team around, but they may surprise some people this year. I look for a big defensive play sometime in the 2nd half to turn the game around in the Raiders favor.

[korme]

Rudi Johnson's first career fumble. TD.

Awesome.

[Hurst2112]

Who is this Warren Sapp guy I heard people talking about. They were saying that he was going to be a solid force for the Raiders front line. I don't get it, 2 goal line rushing touchdowns by a so-called over the hill running back.

Does this Sapp guy just play on special teams or is he a starter? ;)

[TLK]

BOOOM!!!!

[jetpunk2000]

Rudi Johnson's first career fumble. TD.

Awesome.
I had a feeling once they posted that stat he was gonna fumble before the end of the game.

[Hurst2112]

DOLA: Update:

I just saw this Sapp guy. They showed him on the sideline, panting. I didn't realize that he was the Sapp that was on the Bucs team for all those years. ;)

[TargetPractice6]

Rudi Johnson's first career fumble. TD.

Awesome.Doesn't matter. Cincinnati's defense wasn't going to bother stopping the Jets anyway. This just gives them less reason to bother trying.

[korme]

Chad Johnson is fucking amazing

[TLK]

The Lions Def/ST is coming up big....

[TargetPractice6]

Chad Johnson is fucking amazingWhat a beast. I can't believe he caught that.

[korme]

That is the 2nd ball today Chad Johnson just had no business catching. I love this guy.

[TargetPractice6]

Why do the Bengals even bother trying to run?

[korme]

Palmer is so big yet that burst of speed, damn!

[Coffee Warlord]

Fucking Bears. Doing not too bad, then get a blocked FG returned for a TD, and then proceed to fumble the ball 20 seconds later.

Sigh.

[TargetPractice6]

Touchdown Bengals!

[korme]

Kenny fucking Watson is playing better than Rudi

[TLK]

Deion returning punts..... nice

[korme]

Deion's returning the punts? That is sweet.

[korme]

Stupid NFL countdown guys. Berman asked them all how many yards Lewis would get against Cleveland. Steve Young said 110, I think Irvin said 200, Jackson said 180 or 190. Lewis is 12 for 35 yards. I hate both teams, but I thought it was stupid that they all just figured he'd have another great performance just because it was who he got 295 against last year.

[TLK]

Lions force yet another turnover....

[TargetPractice6]

Shorty: Is the Bengals defense really this bad or are they missing Simmons that much?

[korme]

They are playing pretty badly. I keep trying to see how Miller is doing whenever Martin runs off a big one and I am unsure. Simmons is a difference maker though, so it will be a little improved with him. Where is O'Neal?

[TargetPractice6]

http://sports.yahoo.com/nfl/news?slug=ap-bengals-oneal&prov=ap&type=lgns

[Dutch]

The Bucs are still playing terribly, but they are lucky as hell. 10-10 in the 3rd.

[JAG]

Washington's offense has gone south since the first quarter though.

[Hurst2112]

BETTIS...from 1!!! (X3)

Oh, and another thing about this Sapp gu....

oh, nevermind.

[MikeVic]

Is Rogers really injured for the season?

Bettis just got his 3rd rushing TD....

In CBS Sportsline leagues, do they update the defense TDs after the game? Just asking because my Bucs D only has 1 point... but Barber got a defensive TD.

Oh, and JAG, the rest of my team is doing shit now... don't think I'll destroy you just because of Portis. :) He's slowed down too. :(

[TLK]

Is Rogers really injured for the season?
nope..... his return is questionable for this game

[Schmidty]

nope..... his retunr is questionable for this game

You don't know that. They haven't said if what came of his x-rays, plus he'll probably have an MRI.

Knowing the luck of the Lions, he'll be done for the season.

[TargetPractice6]

I heart Carson Palmer.

[Schmidty]

The entire Lions secondary is dead.

[korme]

I love all our wideouts. Warrick displays his ability to take a 8 yard button hook, run across the field sideways and turn it into a 20 yard gain. Then Palmer throws a deep ball to CJ who just makes another awesome catch for the score. Is Chad Johnson the best receiver in the league? Honestly, only Moss has impressed me more than him in the years.

[Schmidty]

I'm fucking happy for ya Shorty.

[JAG]

Oh, and JAG, the rest of my team is doing shit now... don't think I'll destroy you just because of Portis. :) He's slowed down too. :(

Eh...better than mine is. And they haven't even given you the 6 points for the defensive score. Ugly. My money league team is not looking great either.

[MikeVic]

Is there a way to find out which games the channels will be showing in my area? I love that CBS is showing the Steelers game, but I'm afraid this will be the only one. :(

[CHEMICAL SOLDIER]

After yesterday's upset saturday today has been a let down so far.

[Hurst2112]

Is there a way to find out which games the channels will be showing in my area? I love that CBS is showing the Steelers game, but I'm afraid this will be the only one. :(

I usually go to my local Time Warner cable site. I look for their channel line up and schedule. They usually have a table set up for the whole week.

Oh, and...

Carson f'ing Palmer!!! wow!

[jetpunk2000]

Thank you DirecTV for losing the local feed in the 4th quarter.

[JAG]

What a day for Curtis Martin.

[MikeVic]

Damn the Raiders.

[Suicane75]

Terry Bradshaw is atrocious.

[HeavyReign]

Shaun Alexander is down with a knee injury. Not sure how serious but they carried him off. He went down with no contact after a cut.

[Hurst2112]

Terry Bradshaw is atrocious.

...and a proven winner.

[Ragone]

Larry Fitzgerald already has made a highlight catch..

shorty's lovefest for the cincy wr's is amusing :)

Things that made me happiest in week 1 was oakland choking away a game and baltimore sucking :)

[VPI97]

Jeez, the Falcons suck

[Neuqua]

Lions snap their 24 game road losing streak. Nicely done Bears.

[VPI97]

Jeez, the Falcons suck
Thank goodness Barlow sucks more

[Havok]

Hail to the Redskins ;)







Joe Gibbs for president!

[VPI97]

Wow...what a move by Alge Crumpler to score the TD

[cthomer5000]

I had to work and missed the 1 pm games. My top 3 surprises:

Browns crush the Ravens?
Houston loves to San Diego?
Curtis Martin rushes for 199 yards?!


Nice to see the o-line all give Ron Dayne a pat on the back after his touchdown. The guy was inactive for ALL of 2003. T.O. then scores his first touchdown as an Eagle to tie it at 7.

How much did Houston love them?

[cthomer5000]

they loved them enough to give them the win, apparently. I've only seen the boxscore, but it sounds like Brees played well and Carr played lousy.

[sabotai]

This might be the first time in a log while that the Giants have a better offense than defense. THe offense is not doing too badly, but the defense has given up 3 huge plays already (2 long passes, 1 long run) and it's not even the end of the 1st quarter.

And as I type this, the defense gives up another TD to Owens.

[cthomer5000]

Agreed. Giants D looks god-awful. The offense is solid enough at the skill positions that they should be able to keep them in a lot of games.

[cthomer5000]

The Eagles uniforms are hideous. Just thought I would mention that.

[VPI97]

Vick is on fire today...so far he's hit on 7 of 9 for 118 yards and a score.

Falcons up 14-0.

[FBPro]

Vick is on fire today...so far he's hit on 7 of 9 for 118 yards and a score.

Falcons up 14-0.

Yeah baby!!!!!!!!!!!

[cthomer5000]

L.J. Smith scores for the Eagles... go Rutgers!

[VPI97]

Falcons knock Rattay out, so Dorsey comes in...on his first two NFL snaps, he goes 2 for 2 for 40 yards.

[Cringer]

Eagles are going to crush the Giants when this is all over, that Giant D can't stop them at all

[cthomer5000]

Dorsey could seriously steal this job. He probably got so much work in preseason that he knowns the system at least as well as Rattay. I hope he does well.

[TLK]

anyone have an opinion on tonight's game?

To add to your list:

Detroit wins on the road?
Hugh Douglas gets a sack?!?!?!?!?!?

[cthomer5000]

If I were to take any bet on that, it would be the over.

[TLK]

If I were to take any bet on that, it would be the over.
I'm most likely going to stay away from it. I went 2-1 this weekend, but have a sour taste in my mouth after the BAL/CLE game....

[sabotai]

The most impressive thing that Ron Dayne did on his TD run was that he actually lowered his shoulder and drove! Good job Dayne, you finally do what it is you're supposed to do on short yardage runs.

[cthomer5000]

I'm most likely going to stay away from it. I went 2-1 this weekend, but have a sour taste in my mouth after the BAL/CLE game....
Yeah, that was my mental "lock" of the week. :(

[cthomer5000]

Well, I think you have to fault the Giants more for apparently never watching game film on him before drafting him. He never ran like a 'big back,' yet everyone seem shocked when he still didn't do so in the NFL.

[MikeVic]

I had three betting tickets that I bought... two of them are gone already (picked Cincy to win, and picked Houston to win). Only one is left... and I need Philly and KC to win by more than 3.... so KC better win!

[VPI97]

Falcons up 14-3 at the half. Dorsey went 4 of 5 for 55 yards on SF's final drive to get the field goal. Vick finished the first half 11 of 13 for 146 yards and the TD.

[TroyF]

Yeah, that was my mental "lock" of the week. :(


When I saw Ogden was out, this was my lock of the week too. I would have taken a straight up bet on this game. (as it was I got points and won $75)

Kyle Boller is one of the worst QB's I've ever seen. Combine that with a running game that becomes average at best with Ogden out, and I'm actually surprised Baltimore put a single point on the board.

I'll stick by the prediction I'd made a couple of weeks ago. . . If Boller doesn't play better (and I don't think he will), the Ravens will not win that division. And if they don't win that division, they likely don't go to the playoffs.

With that defense, ANYTHING is possible. . . but I just don't think they are THAT good on defense and the offense is simply horrible.

[Passacaglia]

Kyle Boller is one of the worst QB's I've ever seen.

What? But, didn't you see that clip of him throwing the call from the 50 yard line, on his knees? Why didn't they call that play? :rolleyes:

[TroyF]

Some random thoughts. . .

1) Moss looks as good as I've ever seen him. He's blocking EVERY play. Haven't seen him take a play off yet.

2) Vick, Pennington, Culpepper, Brees, Dorsey, McNabb, Brady. . . ummm WOW. Just wow.

3) Larry Fitzgerald is the REAL deal. Ditoo Roy Williams. (both of em) :)

4) The Bills continue to waste that defense. What an incredible D and they continue to throw it away. Sad. . . just sad.

5) The Giants look like last years version of KC. . . but they only have an average offense.

6) Shaun Alexander, Charles Rogers, Shane Andrews. . . the injuries are starting.

[TLK]

update on Alexander.....

News
ESPN's John Clayton is reporting that Shaun Alexander (http://sports.yahoo.com/nfl/players/5048/) suffered a mild knee sprain in the Seahawks' 21-7 win over the Saints on Sunday.
Views
Alexander's status for next week's game at Tampa Bay will be determined later. Maurice Morris (http://sports.yahoo.com/nfl/players/5940/) should be on your roster as insurance. If you didn't draft him, it's too late to get him without paying through the nose. If another owner drafted Morris, be ready to field a phone call from him on Monday looking to make a deal you can't refuse.

[TroyF]

What? But, didn't you see that clip of him throwing the call from the 50 yard line, on his knees? Why didn't they call that play? :rolleyes:

Seriously. . . he's approaching Kelly Stoufer territory. He looks lost out there. And he doesn't show flashes. Leftwich and Palmer had poor games today, yet you saw why both could become great QB's. They each had flashes of absolute brilliance. (Palmers long TD pass to CJ, Leftwich on the final drive) Kyle Boller has a strong arm. Other than seeing it on very rare occasions, have I ever had the feeling he could succeed in this league.

He's playing on the right team, he should get plenty of chances. . . but I just don't see it.

[Suicane75]

On FOX they just said that Alexander has a broken leg. Great.
The Eagles, Alexander, the 1st round pick, not the Seahawks RB, don't want to alarm any Seattle fans.

[Suicane75]

TO with 3 TD receptions. This Eagles offense is gonna be electric.

[Cringer]

Some random thoughts. . .

1) Moss looks as good as I've ever seen him. He's blocking EVERY play. Haven't seen him take a play off yet.



Its week one, give it time. Why would he change at this point of his career?

[Chubby]

TO!

fucking bills..... grrrr

C. Palmer 18/27 248 2 TD's 1 Int

Thats a poor game???

[Suicane75]

I'm most likely going to stay away from it. I went 2-1 this weekend, but have a sour taste in my mouth after the BAL/CLE game....

Cleveland game killed me too, that and Ohio State yesterday. If the Vikings don't cover i'm out of my bankroll on opening weekend, and man would that suck.

[Suicane75]

C. Palmer 18/27 248 2 TD's 1 Int

Thats a poor game???


Palmer threws 1 bad pass today. He was threading that ball, he looked damn impressive.

[Havok]

Palmer threws 1 bad pass today. He was threading that ball, he looked damn impressive.


Thats what i thought aswell... while i was only watched some of it because my Redskins were playing. From what i saw he looked dam nice... especially since it was his first game ever!

[TargetPractice6]

C. Palmer 18/27 248 2 TD's 1 Int

Thats a poor game???I was thinking the same thing.

[Ragone]

bad news for Lions fans.. Charles Rogers broke his collarbone... again


hxxp://www.nfl.com/teams/story/DET/7673771

[sovereignstar]

Its week one, give it time. Why would he change at this point of his career?
The loathe of a Packers fan.

[Passacaglia]

I like how Bettis has 3 TDs, but only 1 yard rushing.

[JeffNights]

Dammit.

Good News: Lions win on the Road

Bad News: Bye Bye Charles.

[Suicane75]

errr, Shaun Andrews for the Eagles, not Alexander. Sometimes I don't even know what in the blue hell im talking about.

[Eaglesfan27]

I had to work for a few hours (but couldn't have seen the Eagles anyway outside of going to a sports bar) and I'm just thrilled and amazed to hear that T.O. has 3 TD's :) 31-10 was well beyond my expectations for this first game. Go EAGLES!

[cthomer5000]

bad news for Lions fans.. Charles Rogers broke his collarbone... again
"They called me Mr. Glass..."

[Eaglesfan27]

Wow! Culpepper with 5 TD passes! :) Maybe now I'll get a vote for my fantasy team ;)

[Passacaglia]

Ow...tough hit on Eli Manning. Spock would have advised him to get rid of the ball.

[TroyF]

C. Palmer 18/27 248 2 TD's 1 Int

Thats a poor game???

Yeah, didn't realize the stats were that good. With the pass to Johnson, it became a pretty good game. The pass on the final drive was horrible. The pass to Johnson was pretty special. (though I hope he realizes CJ is one of about 7 or 8 WR in this league that can make that catch)

He's clearly better than Kyle Boller and I'd say he's better than Leftwich as of right now. (though Leftwich showed some guts today, the reason I've liked him better all along)

[Yossarian]

My take on all the stats...

Warner continues fumbling... twice on sunday (although Eli fumbled once so...)

Donovan Fucking McNab. FOUR TD's, 3 to TO. wow.

Jamal Lewis does He Haw against the team he KILLED last year (20 for 57)

Detroit win on the road for the first time in a million years.

Portis takes it to the house and picks up 148 yards along the way. Welcome to washington... Not much in the passing game for the skins though...

Marshal Faulk piles up 128 yards but no td but a 2pt

Emmit has gas in the tank with 87 yards and a TD


Gannon gets 2 TDs and 2 ints. Raiders have crappy run game.

Deuce staley runs for 91 yards but bettis has 3 td's and 1 yard!!!!!

Palmer looks good in debut, 2tds 1 int, 248 yards.

Pennington 224 and 2tds
MARTIN 196 yards, 1 td, 7 yards recieving.

Sean Alexander, 135 yards and 2 tds.

Brees plays well with someone on his tail.... 209 yards and 2 tds.

LT gets 121 and a td.

My (FRIKKING BACKUP) RB Davis for texans gets 87 and 2 tds

A gates (TE) gets 123 yards recieving....

Vick only gets 10 yards rushing on 6 attempts but Vicklanta wins.

Rattey gets 2tds for 9ers...

Testaverdi, obviously too old to play gets ****355*** yards and a TD.

But culpepper gets FIVE friggin tds. 2 to mosss.

Vikes A Winfield forces 2 fumbles.


Brady 335 3tds


Edge gets 142 but no TDS (he's like that...)


Randy McMichael (TE) gets 79 and a TD

C Brown for Titans gets 100 yards (what round was he drafted in in this league?... WAAAAY Below my J Lewis anyway...)

[mckerney]

Some random thoughts. . .

1) Moss looks as good as I've ever seen him. He's blocking EVERY play. Haven't seen him take a play off yet.

He played well, despite putting up litte in the way of stats. Only 27 yards receiving, though also with 37 yards passing and a long pass interference call, had some solid blocks on plays like N-Beezy's swing pass. It seemed like Dallas was so worried about Moss beating them that they let most everyone else do whatever they wanted to. They neutralized Moss as a threat, but still gave up 35.

Culpepper had a great game and is showing much better decision making than he has before in his career. With the players he has around him he could put up some scary numbers this year.

The defense played well overall. They did give up a lot of yards, and Williams and Jones being forced into bigger roles than they were supposed to have this week didn't help, but they still held Dallas to only 17 points. They continue their impressive play in the redzone from the preseason though, which is what kept this game from being close. The pass rush does need to improve though.

Btw, Testaverde looked impressive as Hell today as well. At least for one week, Parcells looks like he knew what he was doing.

[SunDancer]

Anyone give me an recap of the TD catch by the Jags to beat the Bills. I heard they called it a push out, and reviewd it?

I don't believe a pushout can be reviewed.

[sabotai]

As I understand it, if it's ruled a pushout, it can't be reviewed, but if it's ruled incomplete, they can review to see if he was pushed out.

I think a lot of the people who were down on Testeverde failed to even look at his stats from the last two years. QB was never a problem for the Jets, even when Pennington was out.

As long as Henson pans out, there will be no ill-effect from losing Carter.

[ISiddiqui]

Yes, but Testaverde is OLD... the concerns are him holding up, but he seemed to be fine after being hit.

yeah, him making it through 16 games is the 2nd risk. :)

Without a running game it looks like he might have trouble finishing drives though.

Now, was he in? I mean, from a personal view?

[sabotai]

I don't remember if I saw the play in question or not. Just stating what I think the rule is.

[ISiddiqui]

Btw, if Brees ends up breaking out this year, and last year was just a sophmore slump, is it possible the Chargers' draft picks look even worse than they usually do? :D

[Thul]

I could hug Curtis Martin; the old man put new wheels on the walker. Either our O-line is much improved, or the Bengal front-7 are a mess...

Chad looks like he's back to his old self and the receivers are strong. Now if we can just stop someone on third down (or any down), I'd feel better. We can't live/die on turnovers.

Of course, with the Jets schedule, they could probably moonwalk to a wild card spot...baring injury of course.

The schedule is set up perfectly for a late-season collapse... beware.

[Thul]

I had to watch the Jets game from a sports bar (without sound), subjected to the Bills game over the speaker...

At any rate, could someone who heard the game explain what the hell happened with that Chad fumble, which apparently wasn't a fumble? You know, the one where he dropped the ball and then it rolled up his arm?

Was it ruled a fumble and then an incomplete pass, because his arm pushed it forward?

[Thul]

Dola -

Eh...I figure we'll have 10 wins by the time we hit Seattle, New England, and St. Louis.

San Diego, Miami, San Fran, Cleveland, Arizona, Houston, and Pittsburgh certainly don't scare me.

I imagine the Ravens will beat us (if Lewis is active), am assuming the Pats will sweep us, and we'll probably be "upset" by one of the teams above, given our poor defense.

I'm guessing 10-6, assuming Seattle lives up to the hype and the Rams O-line doesn't bury Faulk and Bulger.

The schedule is set up perfectly for a late-season collapse... beware.

[cthomer5000]

Jets note: Martin needs 9 yards to become the team's all-time leading rusher. I'm very happy for him. He should be no worse than #6 all-time at the end of the year.

By the end of the season (barring seriously injury to Faulk or Martin), 4 of the top-10 all-time rushers will be active in the league (Smith, Bettis, Martin, Faulk). It seems amazing.

That noise you hear is Freman McNeil's bones cracking...as he bends over to lace up the kleats again. :D

[CHEMICAL SOLDIER]

After Saturday Im all footballed out. Maybe next weeks plethora of games will suffice.

[Butter]

So, is the Bengals D that bad, or the Jets O that good?

Because holy crap the Bengals defense looked horrendous. Give me a pass rush or a run defense... either one. The only play they defended well was that fake run left, bootleg right throw the Jets love to run.

Palmer makes one bad throw... but at the most crucial time of the game.... very Kitna-esque.

Still think the Bengals will do well, but hopefully that D will get better. Maybe the Dolphins will come in and stink it up Sunday night.

[rkmsuf]

The best line I heard was that it looked like the Cincy D was playing with a couple guys in the penatly box or something. Curtis Martin would turn the corner and there was just nobody at all there. Disappointing out of Lewis the defensive mastermind.

On the positive Palmer looks good and C.Johnson can really play.

Unless Mike Holmgren has Alexander on his fantasy team, I have no idea what he was still doing in the game at the point he was injured. The Seahawks were up by two scores late in the 4th quarter, and the Saints were being pushed off the line of scrimmage at will. Why don't you put in the backup for your pro bowl running back when you in garbage time?

I hope that Alexander is OK.

[RendeR]

I was looking for some reason why the Bengals D was so shitty. I can't give any excuse for the D-line, they SUCKED WIND, seriously we need to beat the shit out of our front 4 and maybe wake them up, cause they played like they were in a coma.

The linebackers on the other hand is purely injuries. SImmons was out and both strong rookies, Lnadon johnson and Caleb miller had sprained ankles and couldn't run full speed (explaining why there was no-one to be seen when Martin turned the corner on the outside.....


The secondary played great, with one glaring exception. madieu Williams needs to get with the program. I think though this game was more of a nerves thing...he got beat early and started looking likea deer in the headlights. I think he'll settle in and do well. With O'Neil back healthy the secondary should be solid.


GOD GIVE US A PASS RUSH, PLEASE!!!!!

*sighs*

The only saving grace of this game was our passing game, there is no doubt about the switch now, kitna could never have thrown, let alone completed, half of those passes. And even Palmers one pick was actually more due to an outstanding play by the Jets rookie Safety, he got there alsmot too late and made and superior hands grab to make the play.

Good job Jets, we'll get you next time.
