NFL Week 1 Discussion Thread - Revis signs, HBO rejoices

[Logan]

This is the only time I wish there was a camera on Jerry Jones' plastic face.

[Lathum]

I feel like a genius for starting Washingtons defense this week

[Warhammer]

Well, at least they might air it out in the second half.

[tucker rocky]

Washington fumbled the FG snap.
It's comedy I tell 'ya.

[jbergey22]

Cowboys play calling this game has been brutal.

[tucker rocky]

Dallas scored, fans rejoice.

[bulletsponge]

Dallas looks so much better when they commit to the run. thier OC always gets pass happy though so dont expect it to last no matter how good they are at it

[wade moore]

A) Man Portis is a great blocker.
B) Freakin' Santana.

[tarcone]

Is it me, or is the NFL lacking offense this season? Or maybe the defenses are outstanding?

[Suicane75]

The two prime time games have been that way. It skews your view. And you're probably stoned.

[Suicane75]

Same old Donovan, the good and the bad.

[larrymcg421]

Offense is love. Defense is not.

[NorvTurnerOverdrive]

+100000

[wade moore]

wow.

I so would have punted.

Good call Shanny.

[M GO BLUE!!!]

Anybody else notice that Mike Shanahan doesn't seem to have used any sunblock in a while? Hey Mike, just because you coach the Redskins doesn't mean you have to have red skin. Just a note...

[wade moore]

Is it just me or have the neck "injuries" been brutal this weekend? Not necessarily serious, but a lot of worrisome hits.

[wade moore]

CARLOS ROGERS CAN'T CATCH.

[BishopMVP]

Announcers - the refs using the injury timeout for the Redskins 3rd one doesn't matter because the Redskins need that 3rd one, it matters because Dallas gets their 2nd back. Just FYI since it's your job and all.

[mauchow]

Ummm.. defense?

[NorvTurnerOverdrive]

AWESOME DEFENSE

[larrymcg421]

Wow, what a great finish we have here. It's so great to have football back.

[wade moore]

It's so painful being a Skins fan sometimes.

[RendeR]

Loving the fog rolling in.

[CU Tiger]

TD...but a flag...NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

[NorvTurnerOverdrive]

penalty FTW!!!

[RendeR]

BWAHAHAHAHA Holding on the last play of the game, the game is over.

[BishopMVP]

Hahaha Alex Barron. Of course.

[wade moore]

I heart Alex Barron.

[RendeR]

Lets just choke hold someone and se if I get away with it....

[wade moore]

Although, if he doesn't hold, it's probably a sack.

[Abe Sargent]

HAHA COWBOYS YOU SUCK (again)

[M GO BLUE!!!]

Roy Williams sux, anybody?

[Matthean]

How 'bout them Cowboys!

[Scoobz0202]

Fucking offensive line. Same shit, different year. (Penalties and terrible offensive line)

[larrymcg421]

Well the mistake was less the hold and more getting completely fucking beat by Orakpo. At that point, a TD wasn't going to be scored no matter what.

[RendeR]

Oh and for all those crying about the Detroit game?

Don't yell at the refs, they got it right, everyone should be cringing at what an utter DUMBFUCK the receiver was for not playing to the whistle on the game ending play.

[stevew]

Orapko is a fuckin beast

Yeah, exactly - the "crime" was really getting worked. If he doesn't hold, Romo goes down anyways. I guess you might as well hope that the penalty doesn't get called.

I was excited when we drafted him, that excitement hasn't reduced in the 17 games I've seen him.

Trent Williams doesn't look so bad either.

[NorvTurnerOverdrive]

if i'm the skins i think long and hard about trading for vincent jackson. their wr's are not so good.

I don't know about "dumbfuck". Watching it again, I think he honestly dropped it or lost control of it at the last second and tried to make it look like he was celebrating. What he should've done was used his 2nd hand to grab hold of it properly.

I hope we at least tried to get Housh - that would have been an upgrade with no cost in a trade.

[Warhammer]

Love that Barron was the one who got the penalty. Thank goodness the Rams got rid of him!

[Scoobz0202]

Hopefully the cowboys offensive line is at full health next week for the Bears. I'd really fucking hate to go into the Texans, Titans, Vikings, Giants stretch 0-2.

Bears by all rights should have lost at home to a team that went 2-14 last year and lost its starting QB by halftime.

If the Boys need a healthy O-line to beat that, they have a lot more to worry about than their tough upcoming schedule.

Acquiring a disgruntled big name player who wants to get paid big $$$ - when has that ever blown up in the Redskins' face?

[Abe Sargent]

My favorite play today was this one from the Jaguars game. I don;t know if anyone noticed or mentioned it.

Tebow took his first NFL snap and carry, and then was stuffed. By whom? Tyson Alualu, the player the Jags took in the first round, that many were saying should have been Tebow. I thought it funny and interesting that the player the Jags went on a limb to draft instead of Tebow, was the one who stuffed Tebow on his first NFL carry.

The second he touched down with control the play should be over.

I understand the rule I just disagree with it.

Here's what I don't get. If a player dives for the end zone with the ball while carrying it, the minute it crosses the plane, it's a TD, correct?

So why all the "process" drama over a catch? Why are the two different?
