2007 NFL Week 2 Thread

[Ironhead]

Listening to the Falcons eventual disaster on radio.

[GrantDawg]

My wife asked who the Falcons were playing. I just told her the team that is going to win.

[Raiders Army]

Damn those are some fugly looking uniforms for the Steelers.

[Pumpy Tudors]

I have Buffalo and Pittsburgh on the TV. It's the only game airing here right now, and my wife is a J.P. Losman fan, as we regularly went to Tulane games when he was there.

For now, I have San Francisco and St. Louis running on SopCast, although I'll probably jump around a little bit there. I'm not terribly thrilled about any of the early games.

Early on, all I know is that I do not like the Pittsburgh throwback uniforms much.

[Raiders Army]

It's amazing that teams want the black unis because they look tough (and slimmer, cough cough Sam Adams), yet the Steelers go with these yella helmets and piece of crap looking jerseys.

Not that that won't stop them from winning.

[Cringer]

I just flipped over to the Steeler game. I thought the Bills were playing the Wyoming Cowboys. The bright sun made the black a little brownish looking.

[Raiders Army]

Damn Peyton picking on Nick Harper now.

[Raiders Army]

Addai scores! Too bad he's on my opponent's fantasy team.

[henry296]

FYI. The Steelers uniforms are throwbacks to the 1940s. I agree they are very, very ugly.

[larrymcg421]

J. Harrington passed to R. White to the right for 10 yard gain

This is some sort of miracle for both of them.

[Raiders Army]

I'm waiting for Peyton Manning to sing "Our Country" for Chevy. The commercials will come full circle then.

[Raiders Army]

Why'd I start Pittman over Cadillac Williams?

[Logan]

I'm waiting for Peyton Manning to sing "Our Country" for Chevy. The commercials will come full circle then.

Is your name Ryan Snyder (http://sports.espn.go.com/espn/page2/story?page=simmons/070914&sportCat=nfl)?

[Raiders Army]

Is your name Ryan Snyder (http://sports.espn.go.com/espn/page2/story?page=simmons/070914&sportCat=nfl)?

Good call. I know I read that somewhere. I have my laptop up with stattracker and watching the sunday ticket so I'm totally connected.

[Raiders Army]

Buccs stripping the ball really well.

[CU Tiger]

Panthers 14 Texans 0 5 mins left in the 1st...

[CU Tiger]

Damn ok, make that 14-6

[Raiders Army]

Steve Smith doing really well. Two TDs in the first QTR.

[CU Tiger]

Mario Williams just made a #1 overall hit....JACKED UP!

[Cringer]

Doh!

Packers get a gift with a roughing the kicker penalty on a punt, only to have the next pass go through Donald Drivers hands, off his shoulder pad about 15 feet in the air, and it's picked off. I was disappointed with Driver at first, but Favre threw it behind him a little too much.

Packers good defense stopping Giants. Packers bad offense moving the ball but keeps having problems at some point to end drives.

This game ends up 13-10 at the high end.

[Cringer]

Huge pass, 46 yards, from Favre to rookie WR James Jones. Very nice! Not an inch to spare on that one, an inch shorter on the pass and it's tipped.

[Cringer]

Crap, I love my Packers, but the Giants defense really sucks for the Packers to be making some of these plays.

[Raiders Army]

Joey Galloway. Still got the speed.

[Fonzie]

Nice. James Jones is my "sleeper" WR3 pick for my fantasy team this week.

[Cringer]

Packers get an offensive TD!!!! It's a miracle! WOOHOO!! Even got it with a run.

By the way, it's insane how many times you here the word "rookie" before the name of almost every player who got the ball on that drive.

[Fonzie]

w00t!

[CU Tiger]

int panthers
Schaub seems to have a real good arm, decent accuracy but makes A FEW poor decisions.

About what you would expect ffrom a (virtual) rookie. Im thinking the Falcons can kick themselves now....

[Raiders Army]

Vince Young has some freaking magic in his legs.

[Cringer]

Wow. Giants answer fast. :(

edit: freaking Packer safeties. the big weak spot.

[Fonzie]

Wow. Giants answer fast. :(

edit: freaking Packer safeties. the big weak spot.

Yes. That wasn't very good. I'd call the defense's performance right there downright un-good.

[CU Tiger]

well the int was overturned by review....but still a poor decision

[SirFozzie]

That Colts QB. He might be above average some day.

(seriously, that offense of the Colts looks really good so far)

[Raiders Army]

Saints not looking too good.

[Raiders Army]

That Colts QB. He might be above average some day.

(seriously, that offense of the Colts looks really good so far)

He's a pretty lucky guy. Working in the same offense for 9 years would help anyone. That being said, he's been good enough to work in the same offense for 9 years.

[Cringer]

Packers DBs are hurting them more helping them. Charles Woodson may be able to cover a guy, but tackling Amani Toomer is impossible for him I guess.

[GrantDawg]

Roddy White is finally looking like a reciever, but they can cut Jenkins any day now. He has officially turned into a pumpkin.

[GrantDawg]

The Falcons have entered the red-zone for the first time this season.

[Raiders Army]

Why aren't all the games in HD? That annoys me.

[GrantDawg]

And the Falcons finally got a TD.

[henry296]

Steelers just can't convert into TDs. 4 red zone trips and no TDs. Completely domination but only a 12-0 lead at the half. Buffalo with only 1 first down.

[Rizon]

Why do the Saints still insist on handing the ball off to Reggie Bush? He has the hole recognition of Stevie Wonder and the awareness of Stephen Hawking.

[Logan]

Hey Eli, don't ever make that throw again.

[SirFozzie]

That wasn't too smart from Vince Young. That 15 yarder killed the drive.

[Cringer]

Packers may have ust gotten lucky. Giants get a FG, but ended up having to go for that because of an odd 3rd down play. The Packers were offsides, and Shockey had a big first down catch anyways. But he spiked the ball, which is now a penalty this year.

The refs said they offset, and redid 3rd down. The guys in the booth are saying the way it was explained to them, the Giants should have gotten the first down, and then been penalized the 5 yards since it was after the play.

I am interested to see what the league says about it this week. Odd situation. My guess is the Packers had a blown call go their way.

[SirFozzie]

two peyton manning throws, 30 seconds, and they are 50 yards downfield

[Cringer]

I may have been expecting too much from the Packers offensive line this year. I thought the young guys in the middle would be much better. Still too young I guess, or maybe just not going to be real good. One or the other.

I like this RB Wynn for the Packers. Makes some plays.

[Logan]

Now they say they heard from Pereira and it was the right call. I don't understand how dead ball penalties can offset an offsides call, but whatever...

[Eaglesfan27]

Those Buc cheerleaders look very good. As a non-Bucs fan, that is the only good thing in this game.

[Cringer]

Wow, just flipped over to the Bengals-Browns game for the first time. 21-20 Bengals lead. Cleveland has the ball at the 2 minute warning and Jamal Lewis just busted off a nice run of 20 yards or so.

[Northwood_DK]

Didn’t anyone tell Cleveland, Houston and Tampa Bay that they are not supposed to fight back this week?

[Cringer]

Now they say they heard from Pereira and it was the right call. I don't understand how dead ball penalties can offset an offsides call, but whatever...

Sounds odd to me. As a Packer fan I will take it though. ;)

[JonInMiddleGA]

Good news: I picked up Joe Jurevicius as a fantasy FA for one of my teams
Bad news: He's on my bench :(

[Cringer]

Brylan Edwards, if I spelled his name correctly, just made a nice catch on his back after the ball was tipped.

And now Winslow just caught a TD pass! GO Browns, very nice! They take the lead. 27-21.

[Cringer]

3 straight TD drives for the Browns, and 2 FG drives before that. 5 scoring drives in a row. Guess we won't hear chants for Brady Quinn today.

[Raiders Army]

Through 6 quarters, Lee Evans has gotten me 4 points.

[Rizon]

I'm thinking about trying out for a spot on the Bengals defense. Looks like they need a little help.

[Raiders Army]

Need to take a nap so I stay awake for the 2 PM games (MDT).

[Cringer]

I love my soon to be 8 yer old daughter. She is currently 2000 miles away with my wife in Washington state visiting my family. She just called asking for an update on the game and having me tell her what is happening as we are on the phone, as she stands there wearing her Favre jersey.

The funny thing though is she asked me, "Whats the number?" I had no idea what she was talking about and asked if she meant the score, she did.

And Packers take the lead with her on the phone, TD to Bubba Franks. Woo!

[henry296]

Through 6 quarters, Lee Evans has gotten me 4 points.

From experience, Evans is hit or miss. He'll go two straight games with 1 or 2 points and then go off for over 20 the next week. It is completely unpredictible which will be the great week.

[Rizon]

Frank Gore is a machine.

[Northwood_DK]

So Frank Gore goes 43yds on a 4 and 1 at midfield?

Nice call by the 9ers.

[ISiddiqui]

Wow... the Falcons actually look like a real team so far.

[Logan]

So Frank Gore goes 43yds on a 4 and 1 at midfield?

Nice call by the 9ers.

Just an amazing run.

[ISiddiqui]

WOW... Falcons kicker needs to be cut... NOW.

[Cringer]

Stinking stink of stink! Packers once again score a TD only to have the Giants make their defense look like poo on the next drive. Hopefully they can hold them to a FG.

Giants offense is pretty tough, Eli is a pretty good QB now I would say.

[Northwood_DK]

Atlanta is 0 for 2 on FGs today. Just wait and see. Next week Morten Andersen will be back.

[GrantDawg]

Wow... the Falcons actually look like a real team so far.


John Abraham has been playing like a BEAST! *cue season-ending injury*

[Rizon]

RETURN OF THE AINT'S

[ISiddiqui]

Well, there goes the momentum changer. Falcons missing a short FG, and Jacksonville drives down the field and takes the lead 10-7.

[Ironhead]

Well, there goes the momentum changer. Falcons missing a short FG, and Jacksonville drives down the field and takes the lead 10-7.

Get prepared for a 1 yard Dunn run up the middle on first down, 5 yard pass from Harrington on 2nd down, and sack on 3rd down. Punt.

[RendeR]

Paging the Cincinnati bengals, Cincinnati bengals, please report to Cleveland Stadium, your Offense is waiting for your defense to arrive.....

[Cringer]

Packers offense is on fire! I love the Giants defense!!!

28-13 Packers, thanks to another turnover created by special teams.

[MikeVic]

Paging the Cincinnati bengals, Cincinnati bengals, please report to Cleveland Stadium, your Offense is waiting for your defense to arrive.....

You can't stop the Browns explosive offense. You can only hope to contain them.

[Northwood_DK]

49ers just got lucky and recovered a punt deep in Rams territory

[Desmond]

I'm glad my NBC affiliate is sticking with the riveting Steelers/Bills struggle instead of switching to that boring Bengals/Browns game. I need to write them a thank you letter.

[JonInMiddleGA]

WOW... Falcons kicker needs to be cut... NOW.

Makes me wonder. Has anybody ever been cut mid-game? And I don't mean the decision to cut them on Monday was made on Sunday, I mean actually "clean out your locker, you don't work here anymore".

I'm thinking in the early days of the league that almost had to have happened at least once.

[MikeVic]

I'm glad my NBC affiliate is sticking with the riveting Steelers/Bills struggle instead of switching to that boring Bengals/Browns game. I need to write them a thank you letter.

I want to see the Steelers do good. :)

[Desmond]

I have no problem with them doing good, it's the seeing part that is annoying me.

[JonInMiddleGA]

Jags extend their lead to 13-7 over Atlanta with 3:39 left.
So now it's all up to Joey Harrington


I wonder where that phrase would rank on the list of most frightening in the English language?

[Icy]

The Titans are playing really well after a bad start, they have the Colts against the ropes.

[MikeVic]

Jags extend their lead to 13-7 over Atlanta with 3:39 left.

Last week... it's all up to Kyle Boller. Oh, there's a pass off his back foot. And another... and another... ;)

[MikeVic]

Bryant McFadden big stick!! lol. I know what it means, but sounds funny anyway.

[MikeVic]

I don't have the Texans on anywhere, but they could be a decent team this year eh? That's a pretty tough division.

[Cringer]

I don't have the Texans on anywhere, but they could be a decent team this year eh? That's a pretty tough division.


It's because they are the Green Bay Packers South. They have Ahan Green at RB, Flanigan at C, and Mike Sherman as an offensive assistant. They even copied the Packers by trading for an Atlanta backup QB to be their starter. :p

[JonInMiddleGA]

Last week... it's all up to Kyle Boller.

Interesting comparison.
Did you know that over their careers, Boller has a higher QB rating, better TD/INT ratio, and slightly better completion % and ypc average than Harrington?

[MikeVic]

Interesting comparison.
Did you know that over their careers, Boller has a higher QB rating, better TD/INT ratio, and slightly better completion % and ypc average than Harrington?

And I thought Boller sucked... wow. :D

[RendeR]

Interesting comparison.
Did you know that over their careers, Boller has a higher QB rating, better TD/INT ratio, and slightly better completion % and ypc average than Harrington?


Now compare the Lions teams surrounding harrington to the Ravens teams surrounding Boller...


Wow, that makes sense now....

[Cringer]

I may have been expecting too much from the Packers offensive line this year. I thought the young guys in the middle would be much better. Still too young I guess, or maybe just not going to be real good. One or the other.

I like this RB Wynn for the Packers. Makes some plays.

Wynn with a 38 yard TD run on a 3rd and 6 play. SOme jukin' and jivin' there. I like the kid. 35-13, Packers rolling now.

[Cringer]

And Eli Manning goes to the bench with the Packers in control. Lorenzen is in.

[Northwood_DK]

Just two more stops by the 49ers and the got another undeserved win.

[Rizon]

roffle, Cleveland just taking it to the Bungals.

[JonInMiddleGA]

Now compare the Lions teams surrounding harrington to the Ravens teams surrounding Boller... Wow, that makes sense now....

Hey, he made the comparison, so I looked at the numbers out of curiosity. They were actually closer than I expected, just that they all skew slightly in favor of Boller.

Meanwhile, the Falcons would probably have just as good a chance of winning by direct snapping the ball to Norwood as they do with Harrington at QB. They can't run block, they can't pass block, their receivers wouldn't frighten a high school secondary, and the defense apparently doesn't have much heart considering they just let Jax run off an 8 minute drive that basically sealed the game. And then there's the not-so-special special teams.

I may have to revise my prediction of 4-12, might have gone a little high with that.

[Eaglesfan27]

Heck of a throw by Anderson. Brady Quinn could be sitting all year.

[MikeVic]

I want them to get to 50 so badly. I don't remember a time seeing 50 points on the board. Maybe that one Super Bowl with the 49ers, but I was so young back then, and didn't really follow football.

The Bengals should not be punting at all anymore.

[Eaglesfan27]

Titans with a big stop and Tennessee has a chance to win it with 1:38 to go.

[Rizon]

Down goes STL

[Cringer]

And Eli Manning goes to the bench with the Packers in control. Lorenzen is in.

Good thing they did this. Lorenzen is getting the shit kicked out of him, and ended up hurt.

Anthony Wright in at QB for the Giants now.

[Northwood_DK]

roffle, Cleveland just taking it to the Bungals.

That’s a LOT of points.

[JAG]

I can't understand why the Bengals passed up 4th and 1 and 4th and 2 in Cleveland territory in a shootout.

[Cringer]

Vince Young with a pretty first down run. The guy doesn't even look like he is moving much when he runs.

[Crapshoot]

The Rams are idiots. wow. They basically gifted that game away to the 49ers.

[Rizon]

Woohoo, Bonus Coverage: Packers vs Giants :rolleyes

[Sublime 2]

Vince Young is become my favorite non-Patriot player.


edit: Despite this loss, I love watching him.

[ISiddiqui]

And Indy wins as Vince Young can't bring the Titans back.

[MikeVic]

If Steven Jackson continues to have this kind of a season, he will be atop the list of players I don't like. It's not really his fault, but it still sucks when you bank two fantasy teams on him. Plus I have Brees in one league too. :mad:

[Icy]

WTF was that play by the Titans? why did the Olineman with the ball throw it back to the grass?

[Rizon]

Cincy needs to be contracted after this game. Seriously.

[cartman]

And Indy wins as Vince Young can't bring the Titans back.

But it wasn't for a lack of trying. The receiver should have had the catch at about the 30 when it was 3rd down.

[Cringer]

Favre now has (in 1 minute) the NFL record for wins by a QB. (As with any record he sets most likely, its only until Peyton Manning breaks it).

[JonInMiddleGA]

Let's see here. Falcons scored 3 last week, 7 today, so 10 points in two weeks.

In recent history, looks like that's the fewest points scored by Atlanta in consecutive games since they were held to a nearly as bad 13 total by Carolina & Tampa in wks 3 & 4 of 2003.

The last time they actually scored this few or less looks like wks 14 & 15 of 1988 when they lost to SF 13-3 & the Rams 22-7 while winding down a 5-11 season under head coach Marion Campbell.

The QB's that year (I haven't found the box scores for those two games yet) were Chris Miller & Steve Dils, the RB was John Settle, and the top receivers were Floyd Dixon, Stacey Bailey, and Ken Whisenhunt.

[MikeVic]

Yes, Browns/Bengals bonus coverage!

[MikeVic]

51! Hope you guys took the over.

[Rizon]

Yes, Browns/Bengals bonus coverage!

WTF!

John Settle baby! I mainly remember him from some football board game I had back then.

[MikeVic]

Wow, 58-48 in a game between these two a few years ago?? How did I not remember that one. I still don't!

[Rizon]

Nobody saw this coming.

Fantasy Analysis
Between Jamal Lewis' decline and the Browns' recent woes, Lewis looks like someone owners should sit in Week 2 vs. Cincinnati. Cleveland should be down early and will need to throw the ball, which will severely limit Jamal Lewis' touches.

[MikeVic]

WTF!

Same channel that had Steelers/Bills. :)

[JonInMiddleGA]

And in the post-game press conference for the CLE/CIN game.

Q: "Coach what do you think about the execution of your defense?"
A: "I'm all for it."

[molson]

WTF was that play by the Titans? why did the Olineman with the ball throw it back to the grass?

It looked like he was scared to death to hold the ball. There were a lot of big, scary men chasing him.

[Rizon]

Wow, 58-48 in a game between these two a few years ago?? How did I not remember that one. I still don't!

11/28/2004 CLE 48 CIN 58 -6/38 CIN/O 504t 253r 251p CLE/O 462t 76r 386p

[MikeVic]

Oh come on Palmer. I can use another TD in fantasy play!

[Cringer]

Nobody saw this coming.

Because of the six turnovers the Bengals defense got last week, it made people wacko over them. I kept hearing how it was such a good defense and that is all it was based on. Not saying I knew this would happen, but it is nice to see.

[Eaglesfan27]

It looked like he was scared to death to hold the ball. There were a lot of big, scary men chasing him.


Not to mention it was 4th and 4 with time almost out. He had no chance of getting the 1st or a TD.. I thought it was just a very bad lateral attempt.

[Cringer]

Does anyone know if Chad Johnson has a TD today, and if he jumped into the Dog Pound like he said he would? I don't see mustard on him so I was wondering....

[MikeVic]

TD! 6 passes for Palmer!

[MikeVic]

Does anyone know if Chad Johnson has a TD today, and if he jumped into the Dog Pound like he said he would? I don't see mustard on him so I was wondering....

I saw him fake for it on his first of 2 TDs. No idea what he did on his second TD.

[Logan]

I saw him fake for it on his first of 2 TDs. No idea what he did on his second TD.

He did it on the second. Had some beer thrown on him.

[TroyF]

Things surprise you in football every week. I mean, I figured the Panthers would beat the Texans. I thought the Saints would play a hell of a lot better. But 50+ points from that Browns offense? I didn't think they could do that against a high school team. I can't ever remember looking at a score and saying WTF with as much shock as I do now. Simply an amazing score.

[Rizon]

IF I'm Cleveland and I get the ball back, I heave it deep.

[MikeVic]

He did it on the second. Had some beer thrown on him.

Haha!

[JAG]

Bengals score and...kick off, relying on the defense that has allowed 50+ points to get the stop. Ok...

edit: oops, you corrected it. :)

[Logan]

Unbelievable INT by Reed.

[Icy]

Crap, i have Jamal Lewis in two fantasy teams and for any fucking reason i decided to bench him today in both (he has over 200 yards and 1 TD today). At least Palmer is scoring well for me in one of them.

[MikeVic]

Surprise! 1st down for Cleveland.

[molson]

Surprise! 1st down for Cleveland.

Why couldn't/didn't the Bengals challenge that spot? The announcers talked about why the fumble wasn't reviewable, but isn't the spot always reviewable?

[bhlloy]

Not sure why that wasn't a fumble by Edwards. Didn't hear a whistle on the field and he was still fighting for yards.

[bhlloy]

Why couldn't/didn't the Bengals challenge that spot? The announcers talked about why the fumble wasn't reviewable, but isn't the spot always reviewable?

I was wondering that - I guess it's not worth fighting over 3rd and short for and potentially losing your last time out, but it was a horrible spot in addition to the no fumble call.

[MikeVic]

Yeah I don't get why either.

So they stopped the Browns... I'm hopping for TD #7 for Palmer.

[Rizon]

Cin/Cle is like a Super Tecmo Bowl game.

[Cringer]

OJ Simpson charged with robbery today. Woohoo!

[MikeVic]

Nice catch by Chad!

[bhlloy]

If the linebacker isn't dead, he needs to get to the sideline or back on the Browns side of the ball. Just gave Cinci a free timeout.

[Cringer]

If the Browns blow this game, they need to blow the Dog Pound members.

[Sublime 2]

Wow...what a pick!

[MikeVic]

Ohhh INT. Exciting parts of the game I saw, and Palmer still got me some nice points. :)

[Rizon]

OJ Simpson charged with robbery today. Woohoo!

Cleveland should be charged with robbery, too.

[TroyF]

Bailey INT and Cutler TD toss to Stokely, Denver up seven mid first quarter.

Cutler may have one of the storngest arms I've ever seen. that guy has a cannon.

[TroyF]

Browns offense you mean?

edit: oops, you corrected it. :)


Yeah, I reread it and said WTF again. :)

[Cringer]

Cleveland should be charged with robbery, too.

The Bengals defense should be charged with Failure to Appear then.

[Rizon]

The Bengals defense should be charged with Failure to Appear then.

What about trespassing on an NFL field?

[TroyF]

I'm very, very lucky some random guy off the street didn't come up to me and say "I'll quadruple all of your possessions if Carson Palmer throws for over 400 yards and 6 TD's today and the Bengals lose. If he throws for 400 and 6 and they win, I'll take everything you own and put you on thge street."

I'd be on the street with a will work for food sign if that were to have happened.

[RendeR]

What about trespassing on an NFL field?

No, its more like impersonating a working professional....:mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad:

I may be seeing it wrong, but I think you have it backwards.

Anyways, I hate those random guys always offering to quadruple my wealth. I just never know which way to go. Must be freakin' time travelers....

[TroyF]

yeah, I do have it backwards. I need a nap. Maybe if the Broncos can torch the Raiders. :)

[Raiders Army]

Freakin Josh McCown. 2nd INT.

[Raiders Army]

yeah, I do have it backwards. I need a nap. Maybe if the Broncos can torch the Raiders. :)

Looks like they're on their way.

[Raiders Army]

Also, the game is temporarily suspended.

Edit--due to inclement weather. Thunderstorm.

[Coffee Warlord]

Rexy with his first TD pass of the year...to an offensive tackle. Heh.

[Cringer]

Brady James just had the easiest sack ever on the blitz up the middle for the Cowboys. No one touched himas he gets to Green before the RB can even get close to him to block him.

[Raiders Army]

Devin Hester with a 73 yd punt return for a TD.

[Coffee Warlord]

Whoo!

Return TD for Hester!

[CU Tiger]

hester does it again....he is kinda fast and a little shifty

[Raiders Army]

Rex is happy he doesn't have to take the field.

[Cringer]

Hate to say it, but the guy is just plain fun to watch on those.

[Coffee Warlord]

Dude is just scary.

[Cringer]

Rex is happy he doesn't have to take the field.

If that's not a set up I don't know what is....

And so is everyone else that wants the Bears to win. :D

[Raiders Army]

What the hell? 5 yard penalty on TO for delay of game after the reception? That was BS.

[ISiddiqui]

Wow... Boller is actually playing pretty well so far... 9/12, 75 yards and a TD as the Ravens lead the Jets 10-3.

[Cringer]

If I was married to the woman yelling at the Dolphins-Cowboys game, I would gladly go to jail to punch her in the mouth.

[Cringer]

Roy Williams with a 42 yard reception for the Lions, all the YAC without a helmet. :D

[JeeberD]

The Cowboys are TRYING to let the Dolphins score before halftime, but Trent Green is doing everything he can do to avoid it.

[JeeberD]

FG Dolphins after Green fumbles an attempted spike to stop the clock.

10-6 Pokes at the half.

The Rams are idiots. wow. They basically gifted that game away to the 49ers.

HEY, the NINERS defense is finally able to show that it is legit! And of course Wilkins was't going to make that last kick . . . he's no Nedney . . .

2-0 BABY!!!!! Oh yeah, full disclosure . . . I'm a huge Niner fan :D

[Cringer]

For those who don't know, Kitna is out for the Lions. JT O'Sullivan is the man at the helm.

[gstelmack]

So I just got back from the beach an hour ago and start to check back in on the real world, when I see it is opposite week in the NFL. In the pickem game, I got ONE correct from the 1:00 games, and that's only because I expected Houston to cover but still lose...

[Cringer]

Amobi Okoye had two sacks today? Way to go rookie.

[Northwood_DK]

They have been out gained by 273 total net yards and have just 24 first downs in the first two weeks but are still 2-0

[Cringer]

This was on the NFL site...

In addition to his three touchdowns, Favre threw one interception, giving him 255 for his career. He needs two more interceptions to tie the all-time record of 277 held by George Blanda. ...

I assume they messed it up and Blanda has the record with 257?

[JeeberD]

For the second week in a row the Cowboys defense comes out in the second half looking like shit...

[Eaglesfan27]

For the second week in a row the Cowboys defense comes out in the second half looking like shit...

I was counting on that as I started a few Dolphin's in FF.

[Mantle2600]

I can't believe i'm actually proud to be a Browns fan today. Feels pretty damn good.

[TazFTW]

I love Patrick Crayton.

[JeeberD]

I love Patrick Crayton.

Word

[JeeberD]

Barber time!

Or maybe not...Romo time instead!

[RedKingGold]

They have been out gained by 273 total net yards and have just 24 first downs in the first two weeks but are still 2-0

Although Alex Smith is showing signs of Harrington-itis (dumping the ball off at every opportunity), this 49er team is built much like the 2000 Ravens around a strong defense and running game.

In no way am I fooling myself into this being a legit Super Bowl contender, but if the 49er's could win the relative mediocre NFC West, I'd be a happy Niner fan.

[Cringer]

If Romo had gotten that pass completed for a TD, that would have been one of the plays of the day in the NFL.

[JeeberD]

Trent Green is personally winning this game for the Cowboys. Two interceptions and a fumble now...

[Raiders Army]

Jerry Porter TD.

[Raiders Army]

Hey, why are the stars white and yellow under the "C" for the team captains? What do they mean? I haven't seen anyone with more than one yellow star. Do they get colored yellow for each time they're a captain for a game?

[Raiders Army]

Onside kick for the Raiders!

[JeeberD]

Hey RA, is JLH getting on the field on offense at all, or is he strictly a special teamer at this point?

[Raiders Army]

He was on the field last week for a few plays. I'm messed up here because I missed the first 8 minutes of the game because it's shown on my local channels and they were showing the end of the freakin Bengals/Browns game instead of the Raiders. I haven't seen him on the field at all today, but then again, they only ran 28 offensive plays in the first half.

[Raiders Army]

Also, really he's the only deep threat the Raiders have.

Edit--and he's buried underneath Curry, Porter, Taylor, and Big Mike Williams.

[JeeberD]

Good, glad to hear that... :)

[Raiders Army]

BTW, Thomas Howard is a monster. So fast and he's a reliable tackler.

[JeeberD]

Wish the Miners had someone like him this year... :(

[JeeberD]

47 yard FG from the infield dirt for the rookie Folk. Impressive.

[Pumpy Tudors]

Hey, why are the stars white and yellow under the "C" for the team captains? What do they mean? I haven't seen anyone with more than one yellow star. Do they get colored yellow for each time they're a captain for a game?
They get a yellow star for each year that they are a captain, starting with this year. I don't know what's gonna happen in 4 years when some of these guys are going on year #5 of being a captain.

[Raiders Army]

Gerard Warren for the safety on Cutler!

[Raiders Army]

They get a yellow star for each year that they are a captain, starting with this year. I don't know what's gonna happen in 4 years when some of these guys are going on year #5 of being a captain.

Ah, for each year. That's cool, but it's sort of NCAA-ish. What're they gonna do next, give out Pride stickers?

[Ironhead]

Which will obviously need to be updated each year, at $14.95 a pop.

[JeeberD]

Anthony Henry with his second pick of the day, fourth turnover for Green...

[Eaglesfan27]

Anthony Henry with his second pick of the day, fourth turnover for Green...

Unfortunately, he is one of the Dolphins I started. What was I thinking? :(

[JeeberD]

Can't say I blame you after how good they made Eli look last week.

[JeeberD]

TD Romo to TO on fourth and four from the 36!

[Raiders Army]

Thomas Howard for an INT and TD!

[Raiders Army]

2 pt conversion is good!

[Cringer]

Seattle could lose this game because of an insane fumble on a handoff from Hasselback to Alexander. They ran into each other and kind of stood there until a defender came in and smacked the ball out.

[Buccaneer]

Yeah, Cutler with a real cannon on that last pass. Lol.

[JeeberD]

Thomas Howard for an INT and TD!

Oh hell fucking yes!

[Mike1409]

Thomas Howard for an INT and TD!

What is up with the Broncos offense?

[Raiders Army]

Travis Henry went out for a bit and Jay Cutler's pass was tipped. I gotta tell you that the Broncos offense looks pretty good, but the Raiders defense is better. ;)

[Raiders Army]

Oh hell fucking yes!

Not the Miner you thought was gonna score today, eh? He didn't do the flip.

[JeeberD]

Henry JUST missed his third pick. Damn...

[molson]

So why do the Seahawks take two TOs with them the locker room after a loss where they ran out of time? Do they think they get to use them next week?

[miami_fan]

Can Green just thow a screen pass or something to Ted Ginn Jr.? I don't want to see our "big play" 1st round pick "receiver" go two weeks without a reception:rolleyes:

[hoopsguy]

TD Romo to TO on fourth and four from the 36!

Just making sure - you didn't just cheer for TO, did you?

[Cringer]

Its Holmgren. Check Superbowl XXXII for questionable end of game decisions.

[Mike1409]

OK I am stuck watching gamecast, and they sounded better earlier.

[M GO BLUE!!!]

So what happened to Kitna?

[JeeberD]

Hey, wait...I went outside to fire up the grill. How did we score that last TD?

[TazFTW]

Hey, wait...I went outside to fire up the grill. How did we score that last TD?

40 yard run by Barber.

[JeeberD]

Just making sure - you didn't just cheer for TO, did you?


Hell no! I cheered Romo for his excellent throw and decision making. :)

[JeeberD]

40 yard run by Barber.

Awesome. I'm developing a serious man-crush on him. I've been a Julius defender, but Marion is badass.

[TazFTW]

Roy!!!

[Cringer]

Hell no! I cheered Romo for his excellent throw and decision making. :)

And for the blocking by the line, and the play call by that former USFL quarterback. ;) I know how you roll.

[JeeberD]

Double dola-

Bad news, Doc. Fourth pick by Green...this one by Roy.

[st.cronin]

Man, it sure seems like Denver is preparing to rip the heart out of the Raiders.

[Cringer]

SO who else thinks Vikes-Lions will end in a tie?

[Mike1409]

WOW The Bears just might kill Damon Huard!!!

[hoopsguy]

Awesome. I'm developing a serious man-crush on him. I've been a Julius defender, but Marion is badass.

Is there a good reason that Jones and Barber continue to split carries?

This seems as silly to me as people kicking/punting to Hester - he is making guys miss again as I type this ...

[Cringer]

SO who else thinks Vikes-Lions will end in a tie?

Maybe not, Vikes get a chance for a FG

[Raiders Army]

Man, it sure seems like Denver is preparing to rip the heart out of the Raiders.

How is that? Tie ballgame.

[Cringer]

Dola- Vikes miss their kick too. 52 arder off the upright. OT

[henry296]

So what happened to Kitna?

concussion.

[Raiders Army]

C'mon McCown. Don't turn the ball over.

[Raiders Army]

JLH is in.

[JeeberD]

JLH is in.

I predict a 70 yard TD reception!

[Logan]

If someone watching the OAK-DEN game wouldn't mind doing a little play-by-play, it would be appreciated.

[Raiders Army]

I predict a 70 yard TD reception!

Faked a reverse to JLH and ran it up the gut with Jordan.

[Raiders Army]

False start by Barry Sims...2nd and 10

[Raiders Army]

6 yard run to the 32 by Jordan.

[Raiders Army]

3 wide, Jordan runs for the first down 109 yards rushing.

[Raiders Army]

The offense isn't hurrying at all. McCown incomplete to Miller. Flag...holding Barry Sims, 10 yards.

[JeeberD]

With just over a minute left you would think they might throw the ball...

[Raiders Army]

On the Oakland 28, Lamont Jordan runs out to the 41. Gain of 13 yards, time out Oakland.

[Raiders Army]

It almost looks like they want to go to overtime.

[Raiders Army]

32 seconds left, 2nd and 7. McCown overshoots Jerry Porter for a sure touchdown.
