NFL 2005-2006 Season.

[Draft Dodger]

TD Dallas!

dang, the gamecast is REALLY slow. took about 15 minutes before the TD showed up.

[General Mike]

Giants stink. Go Chargers!

[TazFTW]

I love Roy Williams.

[edit]Damnit Ellis. How can you let Brees get in your way like that?

[Mr. Sparkle]

Lloyd TD reception! No shutout for the Niners today!

[Karlifornia]

I firmly believe that we have just seen the apex of the 49ers season :).

Go Niners.

[Karlifornia]

HOLY FUCK! TOUCHDOWN FRED AMEY!!!!!!!

[Mr. Sparkle]

WOOOOOOOOO HOOOOOOOOOOOOO PUNT RETURN NINERS!!!!!!!!11

[ISiddiqui]

I firmly believe that we have just seen the apex of the 49ers season :).

Go Niners.They are leading the Rams. It goes downhill from here ;).

[Karlifornia]

Er. Otis Amey I meant

[NoMyths]

I'm on the bandwagon. As long as they get Surtain back. Derrick Johnson has ROY talent, though he has struggled today.Glad to have you sitting next to me, Jim. ;)

[Karlifornia]

Fred Amey changed his name to Otis this week..I don't feel so stupid anymore :)

[Mr. Sparkle]

Onside kick WOOT!

Mike Nolan rules

[JeeberD]

I love Roy Williams.

Word

[ISiddiqui]

Holy Crap... what in the name of Joe Montana is going on in San Fran?!

[JeeberD]

:mad:

[AlexB]

Karlos Dansby: 1 sack, 2 Int, 1 DTD - Ray Lewis had better have a great game tonight...

[SackAttack]

Did Quentin Jammer just pick off Bledsoe before that "too many men" call?

[JeeberD]

Did Quentin Jammer just pick off Bledsoe before that "too many men" call?

Yes. Well, after the flag...

Throw the damn ball, Bledsoe.

[TazFTW]

Nice catch Crayton.

[JeeberD]

Yup, he definitely caught it.

[Mr. Sparkle]

Battle takes a shot but holds on! 21-6 NINERS!!!!!!!!

[ISiddiqui]

TD SAN FRAN!

21-6 up on the Rams!

[Karlifornia]

Oh baby why didn't I put money on the Niners? Oh yeah, because I'm not insane.

[CHEMICAL SOLDIER]

Dallas v. San Diego should be the best game of the afternoon.

[henry296]

TD SAN FRAN!

21-6 up on the Rams!

There goes my survivor pool pick... I should have know to never pick a road team.

[Karlifornia]

Bryant Young with 3 sacks in the first half. What is this, 1995?

[Dutch]

Bryant Young with 3 sacks in the first half. What is this, 1995?

Naturally, this is the one game I wagered on... and I didn't take the 49ers. http://dynamic.gamespy.com/%7Efof/forums/images/smilies/frown.gif

[timmynausea]

The 49ers have merely angered Bulger. He will swell up incredible Hulk style and totally crush those guys in the second half.
Ok probably not, but it's not over.

[General Mike]

TD Brandon Jacobs. Fuck Ron Dayne.

[cthomer5000]

Why has Arnez Battle attempted 2 passes for the 49ers?

[Mr. Sparkle]

Why has Arnez Battle attempted 2 passes for the 49ers?

Because Mike Nolan is crrrrrrrrrrraaaaaaazzzzzy

[ISiddiqui]

Nolan definetly sounds like he's likes teh trickery!

[General Mike]

INT by Gibril Wilson. Go Giants!

TD Tiki!

[cthomer5000]

INT by Gibril Wilson. Go Giants!

TD Tiki!
Talk about a change in momentum. Go Giants.

[ISiddiqui]

TD San Diego.. wide open McCardell!

[Mr. Sparkle]

Barlow rushing TD...27 to 9 San Francisco, after a botched extra point!

EDIT: Holding penalty on St. Louis, SF will retry...then a false start on SF....AND finally extra point is good, 28-9 Niners.

[Karlifornia]

Touchdown Kevan Barlow...missed EP...but there's a penalty on St. Louis. Retry.

[ISiddiqui]

.... my lord.

What year is this? How are the Niners doing this?

[ISiddiqui]

Rattay is this year's Drew Brees! ;)

[General Mike]

Willie Ponder, 95 yard kickoff return TD!

[ISiddiqui]

Ok, now I'm REALLY questioning the year... Keyshawn Johnson looks awesome out there!

[JeeberD]

TD JJ!

Time to kill the bottle...

[JeeberD]

Fuck Darren Sprojles (or however the hell you spell his freaky ass name)...

[Joe]

Fuck Darren Sprojles (or however the hell you spell his freaky ass name)...

Sproles? lol its drunk posting time!

Don Majkowski?

[ISiddiqui]

Is Nate Kaeding really wearing long sleeves... in San Diego... in early September?

WTF?

[timmynausea]

Well, I always thought Jeeber had a soft j so it'd be pronounced yeeeber.

[Fouts]

I hate being in Northern Cal, can't watch any Charger games without paying $200 for the NFL package. I have to watch the niners every freakin week. Luckily the raider games are blacked out.

[Karlifornia]

Is Nate Kaeding really wearing long sleeves... in San Diego... in early September?

WTF?

It's like when a pitcher gets a base hit and wears a jacket on the bases, except the kicker doesn't use his arms.......

....I probably shouldn't go for that next Red Stripe...

[sterlingice]

Don Majkowski? Always liked him, even tho he played for the Packers. And, c'mon, he had a nickname of "The Magic Man"- what's not to like (tho Sweetness is still the best nickname ever)

SI

[ISiddiqui]

Anyone getting the Detroit-GB game? What in the world is going on there? It's looking worse than the Chicago-Washington game looked early this afternoon!

[Fouts]

I could go for a couple more Bledsoe fumbles. :)

[Karlifornia]

I took Oregon in the Alma Mater league, which means I actually have to root for Joey Harrington. WHY GOD, WHY!?!?!??

[JeeberD]

The tables have turned and penalties are saving the Cowboys now...

I am. I get all the games. http://dynamic.gamespy.com/%7Efof/forums/images/smilies/biggrin.gif

Javon Walker got hurt in the 3rd quarter.

Packers are killing themselves with penalties. A ton of penalties. The Lions defense is holding up pretty well.

The Lions can't move the ball either. Some very questionable 3rd down play calling. Joey not getting a lot of time, but not looking great when he does actually get time. Roy Williams has caught 2 passes. Mike Williams and Charles Rogers combined have caught ZERO.

That is all.

[Honolulu_Blue]

Because everyone loves Joey.

[Fouts]

Charger defense held, need a score here.

[cthomer5000]

NYG-ARI:

Brandon Jacobs is looking outstanding as a short-yardage back and overall backup to Tiki.

[Fouts]

Why do I think the SD-DAL game is going to OT?

[JeeberD]

These penalties are gonna kill me.

[JeeberD]

Dola-

Unless they're against Jammer. He's saved our ass twice.

[Fouts]

I like that the Cowboys keep trying to run.

[Honolulu_Blue]

Terrence Holt just has a nose for the ball. Things just happen when he's out there. Glad he's finally starting.

Nice pick by Kennoy.

C-ROG!!!!!!! 'Bout damn time!

[JeeberD]

I like that the Cowboys keep trying to run.

Yup, I've really liked those last two runs... :)

Hmm, maybe I don't.

With all those weapons Harrington has you'd think all he has to do is throw the ball down field.

[ISiddiqui]

We've seemingly jinxed the Niners... 28-18 now. Rams storming back. Hold 'em off, 49ers!

[Honolulu_Blue]

BIG MIKE WILLIAMS!!!!!!!!

TOUCHDOWN!!!

[Fouts]

That 3rd down penalty hurt bad. Gonna need some magic now.

Chad Morton to the HOUSE! 52 yard punt return TD. 42-19 Giants.

Edit: It sucks watching the game on the internet.

Crap... St. Louis is on the 4 yard line with 2:30 left and down by 10. COME ON NINERS!

[timmynausea]

Did the Rams just score a TD on 4th and Goal?

[Fouts]

Well, grats to the cowboys. Really need Gates back. One loss is no big deal.

[CHEMICAL SOLDIER]

Hope they show the frisco game next.

[Karlifornia]

Damn..I hate survival pick 'em...it's going to be on my yahoo! page for the rest of the year.....And the 49ers are only up 3 now :(

[JeeberD]

Well, grats to the cowboys.

Thanks, very exciting game. My brother owes me a dollar now!

[CHEMICAL SOLDIER]

25-28 Frisco.

[henry296]

I think the Chargers should've called at least 1 run with the Goal to Go situation there since they had a TO.

[ISiddiqui]

Did the Rams just score a TD on 4th and Goal?
Looks like it. 2:13 left... 28-25 San Fran.

[Fouts]

I think the Chargers should've called at least 1 run with the Goal to Go situation there since they had a TO.

I agree. All I saw here was incomplete pass. Were they trying to dump the ball off to Tomlinson at least?

[Honolulu_Blue]

Like I said, when Terrence Holt is out there he makes things happen. Interception. Game over.

The Lions now have sole possession of first place in the NFC North.

Nice.

Also, first time the Packers have been held without a TD in 77 games.

[ISiddiqui]

Come on Niners!

[cthomer5000]

naturally the Giants are playing the longest game in history, so they can't even switch off to a good game.

[Karlifornia]

LOL. What's their magic number?

[sabotai]

Crap... Rattay sacked on 3rd down. About 1:30 when the Rams get it back. Hold 'em, Defense :D.

[JeeberD]

Fuckin' Niners... :mad:

Booth review but that's clearly an interception.

[ISiddiqui]

Yep, there is no doubt that's an INT

I'm just happy the Rams got humiliated. I like seeing the underdog pull off a major upset.

Hell, the oddsmakers know what they were doing after all when they made the line only at 7!

[st.cronin]

So, if Green Bay goes 1-15 and has the first pick in the draft, do they take Leinart?

[Cringer]

:rolleyes:

Because they lost in Detroit you think they would go 1-15? That's dumb. The Packers lose in domes much more then they win. It's been that way since Favre has been at QB, and why should it change now?

The Packers problems were actually from areas that no one focused on when they point out their weaknesses. THe DB's played fairly well, except for the penalties. The two guards played fine, although there were a couple problems.

What drove me nuts about the Packers play was two things, clearly the penalties were just horrible today. The other is this crap about calling for a 2-4 yard pass when it is 3rd and 6-8 to go. If they didn't call the short pass, they went for a 30 yard pass. That happened time and time again, drove me insane.

49ers would have a bye in the first round, as would the Lions. And the Bucs would play the Redskins and the Giants would play the Saints nin the first round.

Maybe the Rams are this years Cardinals (without the games going into OT).

I think their legs cramped up because of fear. They were afraid of the Lions. New, imposing black unis and all...

yeah, well the lack of any substantial points by Ahman Green (8) and Ryan Longweil (goose egg) is what's going to do me in. That plus the fact that she has McNabb and I have TO so I won't gain many points there probably...

unless Edge can pull out a big game, then I still have a chance...

wellesley...you familiar with it?

[henry296]

Today's example of how the NFL changes from year to year:

Pick #1 - 49ers beat Rams (playoff team)
Pick #2 - Dophinis beat Dolphins (playoff team)
Pick #5- Bucs beat Vikings (playoff team).

3 of the 5 worst teams last year all beat playoff teams from a year ago.

I too am relying on the Edge in fantasy league. Not looking promising...

Wellesley? Definitely. Lady H_B went to Wellesley. Been on the virtual tour of the campus a few times (saw "Mona Lisa Smiles" on a airplane too), never yet been there in person.

Though I did read a rather lecherous Rolling Stone article on it. Lady H_B doesn't appreciate it when I quote that article. http://dynamic.gamespy.com/%7Efof/forums/images/smilies/biggrin.gif

[kingfc22]

Just got home from the game.

Go Niners!!!

Just like I thought, the defense is going to be the key to the season. Our linebacking core is severly underrated. Also, watch out for Arnez Battle. This guy is going to make some big plays for the Niners this season.

Aaah some of the stories I could tell you about Dyke Ball and just random craziness. It's a crazy place...I actually live really close to the campus too.

[kingfc22]

dola

I can't believe that Martz did not kick the FG on that 4th down play late in the game. Lucky for him they scored a TD or else he would have had to answer some questions why he didn't go for the FG when the NEEDED two scores.

Important rule you should have asked me about before you picked your team. Do NOT depend on Packer players to hold up your fantasy team. Just can't count on what they will do, or what player will stand out if any do.

[ISiddiqui]

Damn, now I'm glad I passed on him! The lack of time in camp may have definetly hurt him.

[Cringer]

Should have been in camp more

Walker did not miss any time in camp

[CHEMICAL SOLDIER]

How did the injury occur?

[Cringer]

Walker will miss the rest of the season, not just 'may'.

Green Bay Packers wide receiver Javon Walker is expected to miss the rest of the season with a knee injury, coach Mike Sherman confirmed after the team’s 17-3 loss to the Detroit Lions on Sunday.

Walker caught a deep pass from Brett Favre and was tackled by Lions cornerback Fernando Bryant midway through the third quarter.

He suffered what Sherman described as a torn ACL.

edit: undola

[DeToxRox]

How did the injury occur?

Long pass he pushed off on. He caught it but Kenoy Kennedy dove so top a TD and got him low. Looked harmless.

[Cringer]

Long pass he pushed off on. He caught it but Kenoy Kennedy dove so top a TD and got him low. Looked harmless.

If you mean harmless in that it looked legal, then yeah. But you could see his leg bending at the knee in a bad way. It wasn't nasty looking though, so I wasn't thinking it would be this bad.

Pushed off? :rolleyes:

[Honolulu_Blue]

Not that it matters, but I thought it was Holt.

It looked very harmless.

[Honolulu_Blue]

Pushed off? :rolleyes: Yes. Javon Walker comitted pass interference on that play. There was a flag, a 10 yard penalty, and everything. He pushed off. The Packers comitted a great many penalties in that game, so I wouldn't blame anyone if they happened to miss one or two.

[Solecismic]

keep track of how many times this year you say "fucking Bledsoe" about fumbles, stupid INT's...bad sacks. Otherwise you'll literally lose count.

yes...it's that bad.


I suspect an awful lot of Cowboys fans are eating some serious parchment right about now.

[Cringer]

Yes. Javon Walker comitted pass interference on that play. There was a flag, a 10 yard penalty, and everything. He pushed off. The Packers comitted a great many penalties in that game, so I wouldn't blame anyone if they happened to miss one or two.

Thats right. My bad. And yes, with all those penalties it is easy to forget which play had one and which one didn't. We need a head coach with higher discipline rating.

Agreed. Though I felt pretty bad for Carroll. I think he comitted some of the penalties he got flagged for, but not all. The man must just have a horrible reputation in the league. He gets flagged for everything.

oi. Carroll, he will have his good and bad moments for a while. Hopefully he breaks out of it as the season goes on. I won't bet on it though......

[Honolulu_Blue]

You're right it was Holt.
Things just happen around this guy. Walker gets hurt. Kennedy intercepts the ball, it flies into the air and right into Holt's hands. He picks off the pass in the endzone. It's ood.

I found the ruling on Kennedy odd. I'd bet dollars to donuts that if Holt hadn't caught the ball out of mid air and it had hit the turf, they would have ruled that an incomplete pass. As called, however, it was an interception by Kennedy, a fumble, and a fumble recovery by Holt.

I totally agree. Holt reminds me A LOT of Ron Rice. Not the most talented but he just makes it work, like Rice did, who just so happened to be honorary captain today, ha. I love Holt though.

Not much. They only had 4 WRs dressed going into the game...

[Cringer]

Packers WR's left...Driver, Ferguson (who I was not happy with today), Chatman (the little engine that could....well, he tries anyways), and I am pretty sure te #5 guy is rookie Terrance Murphy. They will have to sign someone to replace Walker for the rest of te year.

Well, Koren Robinson is still out there as is Troy Edwards and Freddie Mitchel. Oh yeah, David Kircus too.

[ISiddiqui]

[TazFTW]

Actually Koren was picked up by the Vikings.
He was 'cut'.

Vikings | K. Robinson Cut - Temporarily
Sat, 10 Sep 2005 20:09:57 -0700

<A href="http://www.kffl.com/link/9">ESPN.com's Len Pasquarelli (http://www.kffl.com/link/17) reports the Minnesota Vikings (http://www.kffl.com/team/23/nfl) have released WR Koren Robinson (http://www.kffl.com/player/1726/nfl), but only for the weekend. He was one of several vested veterans league wide who were released Saturday, Sept. 10, for salary cap and payroll purposes. Under terms of the collective bargaining agreement, a vested veteran, a player with four or more seasons accrued toward the NFL (http://www.kffl.com/team/77/nfl) pension plan, is guaranteed his full base salary for the year if he is on an opening-day roster. To avoid the guarantee, teams often release fringe vested players before the start of the season, then re-sign them after the opener. He is expected to be re-signed next week.

Actually Koren was picked up by the Vikings.
And then cut on Saturday, presumably to be reisgned tomorrow. But technically he is available.

Edited to avoid a "pile on" situation.

[ISiddiqui]

And so why do you think Koren is 'out there' for Green Bay to pick up? There was a reason Koren went with the Vikings in the first place.

[Honolulu_Blue]

And so why do you think Koren is 'out there' for Green Bay to pick up? There was a reason Koren went with the Vikings in the first place. Well, perhaps the Packers will make a push for the guy. There is now a need, where last week there was none. Maybe Koren wasn't happy he was cut. Who knows? Granted, the odds he'll just re-sign with the Vikings tomorrow (or already has) are probably pretty good, but he is certainly "out there" as in a "free agent available to sign with any team he so chooses."

Things change... People change... Interest rates fluctuate...

[MikeVic]

Is Antonio Freeman still around?

[Cringer]

Is Antonio Freeman still around?

Does it come to that? :(

[Honolulu_Blue]

There's also Scottie Vines. He was with the Packers (no idea if he actually ever played in a regular season game for them) a year or so ago. He played for the Lions last year. He's not a bad receiver. He has decent size. He was in the last rounds of cuts for the Lions. I guess he could be an option as well.

[MikeVic]

Does it come to that? :(

It must. :D

Agreed. Maybe Green Bay steps up now and offers more money than Minnesota. Maybe they guarantee his salary. Maybe they give him some incentive bonuses, etc...

[Cringer]

I would prefer the Packers pass on Koren Robinson. He has problems..... :)

[sterlingice]

KU graduate Brandon Rideau is on the Browns' practice squad I found out today. He had 50 yards in his last preseason game. Grab him :D

SI

[sterlingice]

Is Antonio Freeman still around?
I hear Sterling Sharpe is on the NFL Network :p

SI

[Cringer]

Finally found who is on the Packer's practice squad. I would think one of these guys may get first shot....

- WR/KR Craig Bragg (6-1, 195, rookie, UCLA)
- WR Chad Lucas (6-1, 201, first year, Alabama State)

[Thomkal]

Well anyone have some good special teams players for my beloved Cards? Or better yet a Special Teams coach? 2 returns for TD's....argh.

[Butter]

Carson Palmer, bitches! I know it was only against the Browns, but the Bengals have the Vikes and the Bears upcoming, both of whom looked horrific yesterday.... 3-0 start?

[Ksyrup]

Dola: Willie Parker: Birth of a Legend or We'll see?
Something tells me the Steelers have the same type of running game success that the Broncos have (had), only it's not so public because their coach isn't a genius like Shanahan (I'm starting to lose my patience with Shanahan, in case you can't tell). I think they could put one of a number of guys back there, and they'd all do just fine.

[Blackadar]

All I know is that I've been telling my friends about Fast Willie Parker for the past few weeks. He was great in Preseason last year, ran for over 100 yards against a Buffalo team the last week of the season last year and blew people away this year in Preseason again.

I don't know if he'll continue to do it or withstand the punishment of an NFL season, but he's a major weapon with very little wear on his tires.

I am kind of interested in hearing NFL Radio tonigh when I take off for work. The Afternoon Blitz guy, Adam Shein, was ripping the Steelers last week. Said this guy couldn't be any good or he wouldn't have been the #3, said Pittsburgh was going to suck, and then backed it up by picking the Titans to win the game. Schmuck......

[rkmsuf]

How anyone could pick the Titans there is baffling. Ten will be lucky to win 4 games this season.

Looks like Kris Jenkins tore his ACL, too

Don't tease me like that!



BTW, great news Cardinals fans: Kurt Warner's 11 rushing yards is currently your individual team leader!

[korme]

Plus, does anyone think Matt Stover is on the chopping block?

[rkmsuf]

Don't tease me like that!

that's a good one

[TazFTW]

Mark Brunell is named the starter for next week's game against the Cowboys. :D

Patrick Ramsey is now asking to be traded.

[JeeberD]

Beautiful!

[Cuckoo]

Beautiful!


:D I would have to think, given the way Dallas played against SD, the Cowboys will have a big edge here.

[korme]

Let me reiterate that 11 rushing yards by speedy Kurt Warner leads the team for Arizona.

JJ Arrington? 8 rushes, 5 yards

As if the two return TD's weren't embarassing enough for my beloved Cards. I wasn't all that surprised Arrington had a rough time of it, but I would have expected better results from Shipp.

[Cringer]

According to packernews.com, the Packers appear to be benching CB Carroll this week, and will start Joey Thomas in place of him.

It also looks like they may hold off on signing a WR. Driver moves to his former #1 receiver spot. Ferguson is #2. Instead of Chatman being #3 like I thought he would be, it looks like the rookie Terrance Murphy will be #3, health permitting. Then Chatman will stay at #4.

The unfortunate case of domestic abuse he committed during this rookie season is the only thing preventing me from making Larry Johnson my personal football god.

Another "unfortunate" case

http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/news/story?id=2160514

KANSAS CITY, Mo. -- Running back Larry Johnson was arrested Monday night after an altercation with his girlfriend early Saturday morning at a Kansas City bar, the latest in a series of troubles with the law for Kansas City Chiefs players.


Police Department spokesman Darin Snapp said Johnson turned himself in and was cited for domestic abuse assault. Johnson posted bond and was released, with a court date set for Sept. 20 on the misdemeanor charge.

Chiefs coach Dick Vermeil, who said he only learned about Johnson's arrest on Tuesday, said his players know that anything they do -- or are accused of doing -- will be magnified because of who they are.

"I think we do as good as the best job in the National Football League of making sure players are aware of their vulnerability, their profile," Vermeil said. "There's no place to hide in Kansas City. Our fans know our players. To use common sense and to be aware of the problem areas. Stay out of the bad areas. Be aware of certain things."

Vermeil said the incident will not affect Johnson's standing with the team.

Chiefs President Carl Peterson said he didn't know much about the accusation and wouldn't talk about it until he knew more.

Snapp said the girlfriend came into the bar and saw Johnson with a different woman. The 25-year-old girlfriend, of Overland Park, Kan., saw Johnson and walked the other way, Snapp said, but Johnson text messaged her on her phone and asked her to meet him downstairs.

The running back then grabbed the woman by the arm and pulled her to the front door, Snapp said, where Johnson asked the manager to make her leave. The manager said he couldn't do that.

Snapp said Johnson became irate after his girlfriend confronted his date. The running back grabbed the victim by the shoulders and shoved her, causing her to fall onto the floor, the police report said.

The girlfriend told The Kansas City Star, in a story on its Web site, that the police report was wrong and denied that she was pushed or dragged to the door. Snapp said the woman told police she didn't want Johnson arrested, but instead just wanted the incident documented.

Friends convinced the woman the next day to file a police report after seeing bruises on her arms, Snapp said.

Johnson ran for 110 yards and two touchdowns against the New York Jets the next day.

He is the latest of several Chiefs players who have gotten in trouble with the law either at bars or the result of alcohol.

During training camp, backup quarterback Todd Collins was involved in a melee at a restaurant and bar near River Falls, Wis.

In earlier incidents, kicker Lawrence Tynes was charged with breaking a bouncer's nose in a River Falls bar fight. Defensive tackle Junior Siavii and safety Greg Wesley also were arrested during camp after allegedly getting into a drunken confrontation with police in a Minneapolis hotel.

[Cringer]

Pfft. Domestic assualt. That's a mandatory slap on the wrist, atleast for NFL players. the Packer's Ahman Green just got off easy for his.

[CHEMICAL SOLDIER]

Weel 2. Bengals and Vikes I think is overhyped.

[CHEMICAL SOLDIER]

I hope Orton shows us some of his goods today.
