NFL 2005-2006 Season.

[CHEMICAL SOLDIER]

Football Season is here! Lets hope its a good one. If todays games are half as good as yesterdays then I'll be in heaven.

[gottimd]

That Thursday game was such a tease, I can't wait for all of these to start and for me to take a commanding lead in Sabs pick em.

[JeeberD]

San Diego is going down!

A no brainer gambling pick or a trap game?

Sunday, September 10th, 2005

Today's Lock: St. Louis Rams -6
NFL LOCK OF THE MONTH!
We pounded the table on ND yesterday - they not only covered the 7-point underdog spread, but won the game outright! What a LOCK!
Today we LOVE the Rams on the road in San Francisco as our September Lock of the Month. This game will count as 3 LOCKS, win or lose. Our Locks on the Month are money in the bank, in which you must be aware. San Francisco won't be able to handle the offensive attack of the Rams today. Steven Jackson, an incredible combination of strength and speed, will be too much for the Niners. He'll have a monster game, opening up the passing attack for Bulger, Holt, and Bruce. The 49ers have a defense that was ranked 24th overall in the NFL last season. Keep in mind that SF is still getting over the death of a fellow teammate, Thomas Herrion. The Rams are a LOCK!

[Greyroofoo]

Colts in da house!

[General Mike]

I hate the ESPN pregame show. I can't watch Fox because some 9/11 thing is on every channel. :grr

[CHEMICAL SOLDIER]

CBS all the way baby!

[cthomer5000]

Larry Johnson 35 yard TD run.

[JeeberD]

Woo! Looking good for my Alma Mater team with LJ and Kerry Collins... :p

[General Mike]

Nice run after the catch for Sowell.

[sterlingice]

3 plays, Chiefs TD

SI

[Masked]

Saints first drive of the season

15 plays, 9 minutes, 37 seconds
Deuce, 25 yards, TD
Brooks, 7/7 55 yards

Beautiful

[Joe]

Vikings threw an INT on their first drive, but the defense looks real good

[Icy]

WOW what a play from the dolphins!!

1-10-MIA18 (8:48) C.Chambers left end ran ob at DEN 21 for 61 yards. Chambers stepped out-of-bounds.

Too bad he stepped out just because touching the side line, he scored the TD.

[kcchief19]

3 plays, Chiefs TD

SI They ran over the Jets on the first drive, now they are dinking them to death on the second drive. Al Saunders is amazing.

[cthomer5000]

Jets defense is not looking good.

[General Mike]

Jets D sucks.

[JeeberD]

Aside from that last pass, JP Losman is looking GOOD.

[cthomer5000]

Priest Holmes was clearly down before reaching the endzone... but it's simply not worth challenging.

[kcchief19]

Yikes ... that Priest holmes TD was incredible. Broke four tackles inside the 10-yard line. 14-0.

[Joe]

shit another vikings turnover, not good

[sterlingice]

They ran over the Jets on the first drive, now they are dinking them to death on the second drive. Al Saunders is amazing.
Agreed- even with just a few years with the team, they need to start building him a statue :)

Priest Holmes, on about his 5th effort on the play, scores from 3 out. 14-0 KC

SI

[Icy]

Oh my god, Chambers almost made it again, let's go Dolphins, if we can keep playing this way this season won't be like last one at all.

[cthomer5000]

Yikes ... that Priest holmes TD was incredible. Broke four tackles inside the 10-yard line. 14-0.
Broke 4 tackles? Are you even watching the same game? He shook someone off his ankle, then was tackled at the 1 and got a bogus TD call.

[timmynausea]

We've got the Titans-Steelers and Bears-Redskins on here. I'm not too enthused.

[Joe]

YES! Darren Sharper interception for a TD! Took it 80 yards to the house! 7-0 vikes.

[Dutch]

YES! Darren Sharper interception for a TD! Took it 80 yards to the house! 7-0 vikes.

Crap!

[kcchief19]

Broke 4 tackles? Are you even watching the same game? He shook someone off his ankle, then was tackled at the 1 and got a bogus TD call. He shook a guy off his ankle around the eight, ran threw a guy at four, eluded a third guy at the three and was dragged down at the one. I agree he was down before he got end. It didn't matter ... watching this game, do you think the Jets could stop Kansas City with two cracks for one yard?

[Cringer]

Uhm, I refuse to throw 17 weeks of football talk into one thread, but we will address that later. :D

So far....

-J.P. Losman is looking good for Buffalo.
-Vikings suck :D But probably not enough to lose this game I am sure, and Sharper just backed that up.
-Bears first offensive play was a pass by Orton, nice try Bears.
-Chiefs are running up a storm.

-Sunday Ticket still rocks. Anyone checking out the free preview of the Super Fan add on for Sunday Ticket? That music on the multi-game channels is horrible. The Red Zone channel is cool though. And having just found out that they will repeat the games is an excellent feature. I still won't pay the extra $100 though.

[tdydynasty]

I have a feeling that the Bears and Redskins will play a low scoring game even a scoreless tie for the 1st game to be 0-0 since 1943.

[henry296]

Travis Henry with another fumble, although a big time hit by James Farrior popped it loose.

[kcchief19]

Jets D sucks. They ever seventh in total yards last year, fourth in scoring. Despite the iffiness with Ty Law and John Abraham's rust, I have a hard time believing it's the Jets defense. It's the Chiefs offense.

Chiefs force a Pennington fumble in the red zone.

[sterlingice]

Cheifs D gets lucky.

SI

[cthomer5000]

watching this game, do you think the Jets could stop Kansas City with two cracks for one yard?
No, which is exactly why I said it wasn't even worth challenging a few posts ago.

[cthomer5000]

They ever seventh in total yards last year, fourth in scoring. Despite the iffiness with Ty Law and John Abraham's rust, I have a hard time believing it's the Jets defense. It's the Chiefs offense.

Chiefs force a Pennington fumble in the red zone.
It's both. The Jets D is sucking a fat one right now.

[ISiddiqui]

They ever seventh in total yards last year, fourth in scoring. Despite the iffiness with Ty Law and John Abraham's rust, I have a hard time believing it's the Jets defense. It's the Chiefs offense.Yeah it isn't like we are talking about Chicago here... the Chiefs can run up the score on just about anyone.

[Cringer]

I have a feeling that the Bears and Redskins will play a low scoring game even a scoreless tie for the 1st game to be 0-0 since 1943.

Redskins getting close, I don't think 0-0 is going to happen.
:(

[NoMyths]

As I've said in other threads, my Chiefs are winning the Super Bowl this year. :D

[General Mike]

You could be right.

[JeeberD]

Losman is good until he tries to find the endzone. On end zone passes he's way over throwing his receivers...

[Joe]

shitty, Griese TD pass to Alex Smith. Vikes-Bucs tied at 7's now.

[Cringer]

Redskins getting close, I don't think 0-0 is going to happen.
:(

After the Redskins kill themselves with a TD called back on a penalty, and then a fumble, I take this statement back.

Interesting note, safety Shawn Taylor was in at WR on the TD pass. He didn't get the TD catch that was called back though....

edit:I mean Taylor was not the guy to catch the ball, he was a decoy I would say....

[tdydynasty]

I bet $5000 on a 0-0 tie with the Skins-Bears game.

[Cringer]

I bet $5000 on a 0-0 tie with the Skins-Bears game.

I got $5 to put up against your $5000

[Cringer]

Another Culpepper turnover!! Woohoo! Fumble baby.

[DeToxRox]

Wow. Culpepper is going back to old form today.

[General Mike]

That was a nice pass by Roethlisberger.

[Joe]

Pennington just did the worst ball fake I've ever seen. WTF, there wasnt even a RB there, he was already blocking.

[DeToxRox]

This Chiefs game is hurting my fantasy team. Martin better still run, the games over, but lets not fuck over fantasy owners, Herm.

[Coffee Warlord]

Bears Skins is getting vicious.

[henry296]

That was a nice pass by Roethlisberger.

Great start by Big Ben and the Steelers offense after no TDs by the first team offense in the preseason.

[cthomer5000]

This Chiefs game is hurting my fantasy team. Martin better still run, the games over, but lets not fuck over fantasy owners, Herm.
Pennington is fucking killing me.

[DeToxRox]

Pennington is fucking killing me.

Bring in Fiedler ..

Oh yeah .. What happened to Quncy, CT?

[kcchief19]

Rothlisberger is lighting up my fantasy football bench.

Surtain's down on the turf right now. He's been down for a while. It looks like he landed on the football following his interception. Hopefully he just got the wind knocked out of him and didn't break any ribs or anything.

[Joe]

woo Fred Smoot intercepted Griese.

[cthomer5000]

Oh yeah .. What happened to Quncy, CT?
Sniffed his way right out of the league. Loves the nose candy apparently.

[DeToxRox]

Bears Skins is getting vicious.

Got anything of note for us, Rob?

I wanna see or at least hear of some big time hits.

[Honolulu_Blue]

After spending the last three seasons being forced to listen to games over the internet radio and follow them on NFL.com, I am loving this NFL Sunday Ticket. Just. so. many. games.

[timmynausea]

Gibbs yanked Ramsey already. The scoreless tie is over, however. 3-0 'skins.

[cthomer5000]

Did they pull Patrick Ramsey already? I see 3 attempts by Brunell.

[DeToxRox]

How's Orton looking?

[cthomer5000]

Ty Law picks off the Chiefs in the endzone, preserving any cahnce the Jets might possibly have to get back into this game.

[Honolulu_Blue]

Did they pull Patrick Ramsey already? I see 3 attempts by Brunell.
Ramsey got hurt on a vicious sack/clothes-line WWF style.

This is reminding me a lot of 2 years ago when the Chiefs tried to shore up the defense with McCleon, Barber, and Holliday and it looked like a really good way on paper to shore up the defense but nothing really changed. I'm really just getting that deja vu again- sure, they tried to improve things by replacing a lot of people but it's just not gelling at all.

SI

[timmynausea]

Ramsey got hurt on a vicious sack/clothes-line WWF style.

Ah. I was wondering what was up. I miss all the good stuff.

[DeToxRox]

Damnit, Griese. Enough Galloway and Smith, throw it to Clayton .. And Clayton needs to stop dropping balls he does get.

[Honolulu_Blue]

How's Orton looking?
Only 20 yards passing. It's a tough Redksins' D, but he's looking ok. Been forced to check down a lot.

[DeToxRox]

Only 20 yards passing. It's a tough Redksins' D, but he's looking ok. Been forced to check down a lot.

Gracias, HB. 2 more hours .. 2 more hours!

And Clayton .. FINALLY

[Honolulu_Blue]

Ah. I was wondering what was up. I miss all the good stuff.
It looks like Ramsey will go back in.

[Honolulu_Blue]

Gracias, HB. 2 more hours .. 2 more hours!

And Clayton .. FINALLY
I hear ya, buddy.

As game time grows closer I will become a Nervous Nelly. So far, this has not been a great weekend for football.

[DeToxRox]

Cadilac is starting to show some things to me. Good burst. I think he could have a huge second half.

[DeToxRox]

I hear ya, buddy.

As game time grows closer I will become a Nervous Nelly. So far, this has not been a great weekend for football.

Haha, yup. The Lions always do that to me. Especially vs GB, as Favre is the bane of my existence.

[ISiddiqui]

The Saints are actually looking pretty good today. McAllister has 2 TDs on the day so far.

[Coffee Warlord]

Thus far, Orton's been not half bad. Not much in the way of production for the offense in general, but he looks like he knows what he's doing out there.

Penalties have killed the Bears today already though. 55 yard int return got called back, couple of holds/false starts have stopped their other halfway decent drives.

[DeToxRox]

Alex Smith with his 2nd TD reception.

I agree. He's look far better than say, Chad Hutchinson or Jon Quinn.

[Dutch]

Alex "The Machine" Smith scores again! W00T! :D

[DeToxRox]

So far the Vikings have not impressed me at all. Culpepper is playing awful and the Vikes WR are deep .. But I am still not sold on any of them being #1's

[DeToxRox]

Viking Boo Birds come out.

[CHEMICAL SOLDIER]

Those jets look terrible.

[Joe]

I have stopped watching the vikings game so if you guys can give me updates. The feed is so blurry that it gives me a headache. Had this problem with the Gophers game as well, but they were on different channels, so I don't know whats up. Must be a problem with the metrodome.

Galloway with a 35 yard catch, I believe out to the Vikings 34 or so.

It just hit the 2 minute warning

[Dutch]

I'm watching the Saints game. Is the Bucs passing game doing that well or is the Vikings defense just that bad right now?

[Joe]

crap

[DeToxRox]

I'm watching the Saints game. Is the Bucs passing game doing that well or is the Vikings defense just that bad right now?

Minus Sharper, their secondary has looked horrid. Griese is having all sorts of time and Galloway keeps busting open down field. He has to be near 100 yards recieving in the first half.

[ISiddiqui]

I'm watching the Saints game. Is the Bucs passing game doing that well or is the Vikings defense just that bad right now?It could be both ;). Though last year Griese finished with a 97 passer rating, IIRC. So their passing wasn't that bad last year.

[DeToxRox]

Pat Williams with a big sack of Griese. 40 seconds in the half left, Bucs at the Vikes 20 or so

[Tekneek]

Those jets look terrible.

:D I like it!

[Coffee Warlord]

I agree. He's look far better than say, Chad Hutchinson or Jon Quinn.

My 17 year old female cousin would be better at QB than those two.

[DeToxRox]

3rd and 17 for the Bucs on the Vikes 25. 30 seconds left in the half, TB with one TO.

[DeToxRox]

Run for Caddy, they call the TO and will go for the FG

[Honolulu_Blue]

My 17 year old female cousin would be better at QB than those two.
pix pls thx

[DeToxRox]

41 yd FG is good. 17-7 Bucs

[Dutch]

Hopefully the Bucs defense can hold up in the 2nd half. I have to admit, I'm glad the one play wonder Randy Moss is no longer around to worry about.

[ISiddiqui]

Yikes, I didn't even realize that Miami v. Denver is 6-3 at the half!!

[Tekneek]

When I saw Orton in the Hall of Fame game he looked great. Glad they are giving him a shot. Maybe if he can put it together this year, they will send Grossman packing.

[sovereignstar]

2002 Daunte was always a blast. Glad to see he's back.

[ISiddiqui]

Pittsburgh just scored again... ouch!

[Tekneek]

Yikes, I didn't even realize that Miami v. Denver is 6-3 at the half!!

Frerotte - 15/24 for 125

Reggie Brown hotshot rookie holdout - 8 rushes for 9 yards

[Tekneek]

Pittsburgh just scored again... ouch!

Beautiful. Hope they destroy the Titans.

[DeToxRox]

I swear .. Every offensive possession I see one guy near the ball .. And that's Jermaine Wiggins. He's had like 10 balls thrown his way.

[Dutch]

Trent Dilfer!!!!!! 14-20 with 158yards and 1 TD.

[ISiddiqui]

HAHA... Saints interception, but then he fumbled it back to the Panthers!

edit: Or not... it's being reviewed.

[Dutch]

HAHA... Saints interception, but then he fumbled it back to the Panthers!

Didn't McKenzie already fumble a recovered fumble earlier? Somebody get that guy some stickum...

This one is definately a down by contact...

Did you hear the sideline guy screaming? Haha! ("He fucking pulled him and he fucking grabbed him!") That feed was cut off pretty quick. :)

[Masked]

Saints get another turnover, and fumble on the return AGAIN! :(

[cthomer5000]

Did you hear the sideline guy screaming? Haha! ("He fucking pulled him and he fucking grabbed him!") That feed was cut off pretty quick. :)
Yeah. I was wondering if anyone else heard that one. http://dynamic.gamespy.com/%7Efof/forums/images/smilies/smile.gif

[TazFTW]

Heh, Leftwich hands off to Matt Jones who then pitches (i.e. like an option) it to Reggie Willams.

[ISiddiqui]

Hand it again to McAllister! He's on a fantasy team of mine ;).

[Dutch]

McCallister has exceptional strength after he's wrapped up. He's moving piles forward everytime.

[kcchief19]

The Chiefs -- especially Green -- struggled after Willie Roaf left with the hammy problem. Jordan Black has potential as a RT, but he's not ready to play LT. The Jets have been attacking on the edges. Be interesting to see what they come up with in the second half.

SI, I definitely see your concerns. I'm afraid Bell is going to disappoint big time. I think Surtain and Knight are nice upgrades, but the defensive line continues to be a trainwreck. I am impressed with Derrick Johnson so far. That guy has a motor on his ass. He gets out of position at times, but he's so fast that it almost doesn't matter because he can make it up. I think he'll learnand get better down the road.

In other news ... I don't believe Bonnie Bernstein has ever looked hotter than she does today. Meow!

[ISiddiqui]

That was an incomplete pass... not a fumble! WTF?

[Dutch]

WTF....why is Shaun King wearing an Aaron Brooks jersey?

[Honolulu_Blue]

Was that Chad Johnson I just saw on the turf in the Cinci/Cleveland game?

[cthomer5000]

In other news ... I don't believe Bonnie Bernstein has ever looked hotter than she does today. Meow!
I agree completely. That was my first thought when I saw her today.

[Honolulu_Blue]

Was that Chad Johnson I just saw on the turf in the Cinci/Cleveland game?
Yes.

[DeToxRox]

Was that Chad Johnson I just saw on the turf in the Cinci/Cleveland game?

D'oh! My fantasy team is taking a hit.

[DeToxRox]

Vikes have to punt again to start the third. The Vikes look incredibly frustrated. They're playing very tense it seems.

[TazFTW]

That was the worst QB sneak, Frerotte did not even try.

[ISiddiqui]

Another INT by New Orleans. Delhomme isn't looking that great today.

[ISiddiqui]

Willie Parker has 162 yards and a TD today... my lord!

[TazFTW]

w00t! Jimmy Smith TD!

[DeToxRox]

I see Cinncy just scored. How?

[DeToxRox]

Bucs are getting too conservative considering there is almost a full half left.

[ISiddiqui]

Pittsburgh again... this time Veron Haynes. 34-7 Pittsburgh.

They look SUPER impressive.

[Dutch]

Bucs are getting too conservative considering there is almost a full half left.

They aren't 7-9 material for nothing. :)

[TazFTW]

I can't believe the only stats Andre Johnson has are 2 rushes for 7 yards. WTF. Throw him the damn ball!

[DeToxRox]

Simeon Rice has just looked amazing today. Wow.

[DeToxRox]

Total yards

TB: 250
MIN: 80

[Dutch]

Panthers - Jenkins hurt again.

[henry296]

I see Cinncy just scored. How?

Palmer pass to Jeremi Johnson out of the backfield.

[cthomer5000]

Chad Pennington just fumbled for the 6th time.

[henry296]

Pittsburgh again... this time Veron Haynes. 34-7 Pittsburgh.

They look SUPER impressive.

I thought Tennesee might have a chance to bounce back this year, but their defense is way to young and has been horrid today.

After the opening drive, the Steelers can do no wrong.

Here we go Steelers, Here we go!!!!!

[ISiddiqui]

Not only that but McNair isn't looking all the comfortable. I think he's only completed one pass to Drew Bennett (ie, the #1 WR).

[kcchief19]

Chad Pennington with his SIXTH fumble of the game.

I'm now getting concerned the Chiefs are only up 17-0.

[JeeberD]

Chad Pennington just fumbled for the 6th time.


Are you kidding me?!? WTF is wrong with him?

[cthomer5000]

I'm now getting concerned the Chiefs are only up 17-0.
This game should seriously be about 34-0 right now. The Chiefs have not slammed the door shut yet.

[TazFTW]

TD Randy McMichael and the Dolphins lead 13-3.

[Northwood_DK]

TD Miami

[DeToxRox]

Vikes lose 6 over an Offensive Pass Interference call that was highly suspect.

[cthomer5000]

Are you kidding me?!? WTF is wrong with him?
I wish I knew.

2004 SEASON stats: 5 fumbles, 2 lost

TODAY: 6 fumbles, 2 lost

Many of them completely unforced.

[JeeberD]

TD Randy McMichael and the Dolphins lead 13-3.

Maybe the Dolphins aren't as craptastic as I thought! :eek:

[DeToxRox]

That is unreal. Pennington is going to destroy Dauntes record.

[Northwood_DK]

What is the NFL single fumbel record?

[cthomer5000]

That is unreal. Pennington is going to destroy Dauntes record.
Nah. This is very uncharacteristic of Chad, which is why it's so totally baffling.

[DeToxRox]

Nah. This is very uncharacteristic of Chad, which is why it's so totally baffling.

I hope he doesn't go Ankiel on everyone.

[ISiddiqui]

Hey, what's wrong with the Broncos? Yeah Plummer has sucked, but the running game isn't that hot either.

[JeeberD]

David Carr blows monkeys. I absolutely love it... :D

[Solecismic]

I hope he doesn't go Ankiel on everyone.

They're going to get more opportunities with Surtain out. He finally threw a nice pass to Coles, wide open for the touchdown... and Coles flat out dropped it.

The Chiefs have been impressive today, getting pressure on Pennington on almost every play. They were unable to generate pressure at all last season.

[Easy Mac]

Wow, Carolina just delivered a huge hit on New Orleans, and they call a personal foul for hitting a defenseless receiver. WTF? If the guy jumps in the air, are you supposed to let him catch the ball and then hit him? They said it was illegal because he didn't hit the ground yet. The NFL really needs to stop its pussification.

[DeToxRox]

David Carr blows monkeys. I absolutely love it... :D

I've been telling people .. Harringtons better then Carr.

[TazFTW]

TD Sammy Morris. Dolphins 20 Broncos 3.

[JeeberD]

Wow, Carolina just delivered a huge hit on New Orleans, and they call a personal foul for hitting a defenseless receiver. WTF? If the guy jumps in the air, are you supposed to let him catch the ball and then hit him? They said it was illegal because he didn't hit the ground yet. The NFL really needs to stop its pussification.

Ridiculous

[General Mike]

Jets are crappy.

[timmynausea]

Homer Glemkin needs to start giving it to Shaun Alexander. No more passing.

[Honolulu_Blue]

This false start thing the Bears are doing does not seem like a sound strategy.

[Scarecrow]

What is surprising me the most is that the Chiefs are doing all this with 3 All-Pros out (Roaf, Richardson, Surtain)

[kcchief19]

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.

[Joe]

geez, the Vikings have 12 carries for 26 yards?? Damn you Original Whizzinator.

[henry296]

Steelers are going to end up with only 11 pass plays and over 40 runs...

Big Ben was 9/11 for over 200 yards and 2 TDs.

[Solecismic]

What is surprising me the most is that the Chiefs are doing all this with 3 All-Pros out (Roaf, Richardson, Surtain)

I'm on the bandwagon. As long as they get Surtain back. Derrick Johnson has ROY talent, though he has struggled today.

[Dutch]

Homer Glemkin

:D My wife and I still call him that.

[ISiddiqui]

Wow, Carolina just delivered a huge hit on New Orleans, and they call a personal foul for hitting a defenseless receiver. WTF?

Um... I think you missed the whole part of the play where the Panther defender hit the guy in the air in the HELMET. It was a viscious hit and should be penalized.

[TazFTW]

TD Denver. They had a first and goal from the 1 and it took them till fourth down to score.

[Super Ugly]

Jets, oh Jets ... oh dear ...

[Icy]

TD Denver. They had a first and goal from the 1 and it took them till fourth down to score.

In the first quarter, the Dolphins already managed to stop them for 4 downs on 3 to Goal. Denver went over on downs not being able to advance a single yard.



BTW.....60 yards Booker TD!!!
27 - 10 for Miami

[ISiddiqui]

Jesus... Saban is going to be hailed as a God in South Florida!

[Tekneek]

Marty Booker TD!

Miami 27
Denver 10

[kcchief19]

Great case where fantasy football is a blessing and a curse. On the bright side, it keeps me interested in a 27-0 blowing out hoping to see my guys score some points. On the downside, it gets me all ticked off when the Jets can't figure out how to get Curtis Martin in the endzone and ruin my hometeam's shutout.

[Joe]

Jesus... Saban is going to be hailed as a God in South Florida!


its all Scott Linehan

[Easy Mac]

Um... I think you missed the whole part of the play where the Panther defender hit the guy in the air in the HELMET. It was a viscious hit and should be penalized.
If thats the rule, running backs lower their head all the time into people and get hit in the helmet. The fact is he his him with his shoulder. Don't throw it over the middle if you don't want your player to get hit.

[Northwood_DK]

Orton fumbles. Game over

[cthomer5000]

Not sure why Priest Holmes is still running the ball, but his fantasy owners have to be pleased.

[TazFTW]

Jake Plummer sucks.

[ISiddiqui]

If thats the rule, running backs lower their head all the time into people and get hit in the helmet. The fact is he his him with his shoulder. Don't throw it over the middle if you don't want your player to get hit.The rule is, and has been for quite a while, that you can't hit a defenseless reciever (in the air) in the head.

[kcchief19]

Jay Fiedler enters the blowout.

Surtain's injury is listed as "head trauma" -- they said he was questionable to return, so hopefully that will mean this isn't a serious concussion.

All I've heard about Roaf is a hamstring. Willie's a tough guy, so I'm hoping that they just decided since things were going well they'd give him the rest of a hot afternoon off and give the backups some playing time. Jordan Black could use the experience.

Richardson's injury concerns me. He's a key part of the blocking scheme, although they moved the ball pretty well without him. It appeared to be a knee problem, but he did walk off the field on his own.

I've been drinking beer since about 1230 this afternoon and have a nice little buzz going on right now. I have a bottle of tequila that has about three or four shots left in it. I have decided that I'm going to take a shot every time the Cowboys score a TD against the Chargers, so by 6pm Central I hope to have an empty bottle of tequila on my hands...

Same here, watching the Saints game losing my mind and drinking. They better not blow this.

So that bottle of tequila will have 3-4 shots left in it by 7pm EST.

And Fielder fumbles. :)

If your plan is to get drunk, that's not a very good plan. :)

[Joe]

vikings have 2nd and 2 from the tampa 15, with 2 minutes left and down by 4. damn i wish my reception didnt make it impossible to watch.

[JeeberD]

I trust Julius to get me drunk... :)

where are you gonna keep that bottle until the next time the Cowboys play the Chargers?

And on the very next play Culpepper is intercepted.
Game over

:( and then Carnell Williams scores on a 71 yard run

[ISiddiqui]

Carolina kicks a FG to tie the game... 20-20 with a minute left.

[DaddyTorgo]

46 yd FG by Casey...Panthers tie it @ 20 with 1 min to go. Aaron Brooks has looked GOOD today i gotta say

[AlexB]

Hey, what's wrong with the Broncos? Yeah Plummer has sucked, but the running game isn't that hot either.

You have to give a lot of credit to the Dolphin's D as well - we've played awesome - didn;t give up a passing yard until well into the 2nd quarter and apart from one Tatum Bell run Traylor, Holliday and Carter have just stuffed the much vaunted Broncos' O-line.

Go Dolphins! :)

[AlexB]

Dola,

And wrapped up with a Jason Taylor fumble recovery TD: sack, forced fumble, fumble recovery, TD - and even better he's on my fantasy team where all these count!

Man, I am so happy right now!

[Northwood_DK]

85yds fumble return by Miami

[JeeberD]

I can't wait to talk to my Broncos-loving Dad and brother... :D

[Dutch]

:( and then Carnell Williams scores on a 71 yard run

Before the play I am saying, "Alright Cadilac, time to earn your 1.5 pay!" But I was only expecting a 1st down. I'll take that! W00T!

BTW - I hate prevent defenses. The Vikings drove from their own 10 yard line like the Bucs Defense was butter. Thank God for interceptions.

Turned out to be an average win, but I'll take it. Especially on the road. This gives the Buccaneers some hope for the season.

[ISiddiqui]

Potential game ending FG try coming up by NO.

[ISiddiqui]

And its GOOD!

3 seconds left... NO 23-20

[Dutch]

It's good. A little something for the New Orleans Saints fans to smile about. :)

[JeeberD]

Please make it, Saints. I don't need overtime cutting into the Cowboys game...

Edit: Nevermind. I forgot that Dallas TV cuts off the previous game, no matter what! :D

[Galaxy]

BILLS! WOOOT!


Love the throwback uniforms as well.

[gottimd]

WOOHOO!!!!!!!

[JeeberD]

Go Julius!

[cthomer5000]

Love the throwback uniforms as well.
Same here. I hope they are for more than just today.

[AlexB]

Ugh - what the hell are Cardinal's wearing? Looks like an ugly NFL Europe kit

[Draft Dodger]

I'm on the bandwagon. As long as they get Surtain back. Derrick Johnson has ROY talent, though he has struggled today.

room up there for one more?
Jets looked T-E-R-R terrible today, but the Chiefs looked like a contender.

Go Dolphins! :) Vonnie Holliday is one of the best opening-day players ever. When he came to Kansas City two years ago, he had three sacks on opening day. In his next and final 24 games with the Chiefs, he had 2 1/2.

The Miami/Denver game fascinates me. The Dolphins don't have much of a talent upgrade from last year -- on defense they are probably worse. Their biggest upgrade is Saban. So was today's result a tribute to Saban's ability to turn things around, an indictment of the Broncos being frauds or merely an aberation? I'm leaning toward option two.

[sterlingice]

Go Julius!
With him on both my fantasy team and the Alma Mater league, I agree :D

SI

Three times just for you.

[JeeberD]

Fucking Blesdsoe with the fumble... :mad:

[Northwood_DK]

Rams challenged the very first play of the game and loss it.

[Draft Dodger]

Fucking Blesdsoe

I predict you will use these two words together a LOT this season.

[DaddyTorgo]

Fucking Blesdsoe with the fumble... :mad:
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.

[AlexB]

The Dolphins don't have much of a talent upgrade from last year -- on defense they are probably worse.

I dunno about this: the only guy we've lost without replacing is Surtain: our safety losses IMO have been balanced out with Schulters, Jones & Tillman, Crowder should by all accounts be an upgrade over Greenwood and the three guys above are all better than what we had last year (as Bowens/Chester barely played).

You could argue that Taylor, Thomas, Seau and Madison have all lost a step, but overall I would say we are aguably stronger overall, as the D line upgrade is more than the secondary loss.

[ISiddiqui]

TD San Diego! LT!

[JeeberD]

*sigh*

[General Mike]

TD Giants! Shockey!

[cthomer5000]

TD Giants! Shockey!
You love Eli now.

[DaddyTorgo]

ready for another "fucking Bledsoe" moment??

Aaaah yes Shockey. My starting fantasy TE. Excellent

[AlexB]

Impressive drive by the Giants, Eli to Shockey, TD (and Shockey goes sharking and gives the ball to the pretty policewoman! Mind you he could have been arrested if he had knocked her hat off :D )

[timmynausea]

TD Lions! Pollard!

[JeeberD]

Wow, penalties galore on the Cowboys. Already.

[JeeberD]

:mad: :mad: :mad:

Three fucking penalties in a fucking row.

:mad:

[Honolulu_Blue]

TD Lions! Pollard! Yes!!!

[DaddyTorgo]

:mad: :mad: :mad:

Three fucking penalties in a fucking row.

:mad:
just look on the bright side. Parcells will have someone KILLED over that. And you know he'll sort it out given a couple weeks.

yeah, and you avoided a safety there, i'm surprised Bledsoe didn't step back into the end zone, i've seen him do dumber things...

[Buccaneer]

TD San Diego! LT!
Go BOLTS!

[JeeberD]

Wow, a fourth penalty in a row but it was declined because Bledsoe was sacked on the 1... :rolleyes:

[DaddyTorgo]

holy shit. ANOTHER flag?? This is ridiculous!

[JeeberD]

Dola-

Make it FIVE plays in a row with a flag!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[sabotai]

*sigh*...I hate living in South Jersey....or at least not having DirecTV and Sunday Ticket (we get the SD - DAL game, not the ARI-NYG game)

[HomerJSimpson]

Wow, a fourth penalty in a row but it was declined because Bledsoe was sacked on the 1... :rolleyes:


And then there were 5.

[gottimd]

Bledsoe is the answer to all of those unanswered cowgirl questions.....

Can we suck this bad?

Throw in Bledsoe, and apparently you have your answer.

[AlexB]

*sigh*...I hate living in South Jersey....or at least not having DirecTV and Sunday Ticket (we get the SD - DAL game, not the ARI-NYG game)

If it makes you feel any better, the Giants have started VERY well

[cthomer5000]

Dola-

Make it FIVE plays in a row with a flag!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
wow. impressive.

[Draft Dodger]

*sigh*...I hate living in South Jersey....or at least not having DirecTV and Sunday Ticket (we get the SD - DAL game, not the ARI-NYG game)

could be worse.

I'm working.

[JeeberD]

Nice defense by the 'Boys...three plays in a row getting pressure on Brees and getting a sack on third and ten.

[JeeberD]

We...we...we completed a pass?

Crayton with a nice catch and run, but he fumbled it and got it back, the lucky bastard.

[TazFTW]

I love Julius.

[ISiddiqui]

Nice run by Julius Jones there... the guy's got some speed!

[TazFTW]

Nice catch by Glenn.

[Honolulu_Blue]

Way to get fired up, Mooch!

[JeeberD]

I think Parcells is going to kill someone because of all these penalties.

[TazFTW]

Drink up Jeebs!!!

[JeeberD]

TD patrick Crayton!!!!!!

[ISiddiqui]

TD Dallas!

[JeeberD]

Drink up Jeebs!!!

Ahhhh...Sauza is GOOD!

[JeeberD]

Fuck yeah! INT Henry!!!

[AlexB]

[ISiddiqui]

Arizona has taken the lead thanks to Eli ;).

[TazFTW]

[ISiddiqui]

TD Dallas again... Bledsoe with his 2nd TD pass

[JeeberD]
